20.500.12556/RUL-160221 Self-care among Slovenian social workers understanding and barriers to self-care In this study, we investigated what Slovenian social workers understand by self-care and what barriers to self-care are the most common. Almost all respondents in our sample agreed that self-care is very important for social workers’ well-being and professional practice. However, only 38% fully agreed that they know how to take care of their well-being, and only 23% of social workers surveyed take care of themselves on a daily basis. The most frequently mentioned self-care practices in the personal domain are eating a regular and healthy diet, spending quality time with enjoyable others, and spending time in nature. The least-mentioned practices are time away from the telephone, journal writing, engaging in personal psychotherapy, and meditation. Engaging with co-workers and attending supervision are the most mentioned practices in the organisational self-care domain, while negotiation skills and setting boundaries with users and co-workers are the least mentioned practices. The most common barriers to self-care are work overload and lack of time. As the field of self-care among social workers in Slovenia is still unexplored and unregulated, we have suggested the first possible steps on micro, mezzo, and macro levels. self-care resilience understanding barriers social workers true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2024-08-23 10:31:27 2024-08-23 10:31:28 2024-08-24 04:06:56 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 349–362 no. 3 Vol. 38 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 364-43 0265-0533 10.1080/02650533.2024.2362662 198023683 Self-care_among_Slovenian_social_workers__understanding_and_barriers_to_self-care.pdf Self-care_among_Slovenian_social_workers__understanding_and_barriers_to_self-care.pdf 1 F592AD806FEDDADC79D42CE31A5293DA 4e2cd2e624dbe79d54ffb7570e12a727e0eeb3e17a0706505d6af903df4c0b8b 7050eb65-612a-11ef-8f74-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=188774 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02650533.2024.2362662 0 5b2b931b-612a-11ef-8f74-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=188773 Fakulteta za socialno delo 0 0 0
