20.500.12556/RUL-171427 Vpliv vere na delo socialnih delavcev diplomsko delo The impact of religion on the work of social workers Diplomska naloga obravnava vpliv vere na delo socialnih delavk v slovenskem kontekstu, kjer je to področje še razmeroma slabo raziskano. Glavni cilj raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kako osebna religioznost socialnih delavk vpliva na njihovo poklicno delovanje, pristop do uporabnikov ter doživljanje strokovnih in etičnih izzivov. Uporabljen je bil kvalitativni raziskovalni pristop s strukturiranimi intervjuji, v katerih je sodelovalo osem vernih socialnih delavk različnih krščanskih denominacij. Rezultati kažejo, da vera socialnim delavkam predstavlja pomemben notranji vir moči, stabilnosti, duhovne opore in profesionalne etične orientacije. Vse sogovornice vero doživljajo kot osebno izkušnjo, ki vpliva na njihove vrednote, empatijo in pristop k delu, hkrati pa dosledno ohranjajo profesionalno distanco in spoštovanje verske raznolikosti uporabnikov. Ugotovitve razkrivajo tudi kritično distanco do institucionalne religije ter močno podporo odprti, vključujoči in reflektirani duhovnosti. Pomemben poudarek raziskave je na potrebi po večji prisotnosti vsebin o religiji in duhovnosti v izobraževanju za socialno delo, saj intervjuvanke zaznavajo manko strokovne pismenosti na tem področju. Sklepna ugotovitev naloge je, da vera – če je osebno reflektirana in strokovno integrirana – ni ovira, temveč dragocen vir notranje stabilnosti, odpornosti proti stresu in profesionalne občutljivosti. This thesis examines the influence of faith on the work of female social workers in the Slovenian context, where this topic remains relatively under-researched. The main goal of the study was to explore how personal religiosity affects the professional conduct of social workers, their approach to clients, and their experience of professional and ethical challenges. A qualitative research approach was employed, based on structured interviews with eight religious social workers from various Christian traditions. The findings indicate that faith represents an important inner source of strength, stability, spiritual support, and professional ethical orientation for these social workers. All participants experience their faith as a personal journey that shapes their values, empathy, and approach to work, while consistently maintaining professional distance and respect for the religious diversity of their clients. The study also reveals a critical stance toward institutional religion and strong support for an open, inclusive, and reflective spirituality. A significant emphasis of the research lies in the need for a greater inclusion of topics on religion and spirituality in social work education, as the participants perceive a lack of professional literacy in this area. The thesis concludes that faith—when personally reflected upon and professionally integrated—is not a hindrance but a valuable source of inner stability, resilience to stress, and professional sensitivity. vera religioznost duhovnost socialno delo socialne delavke etika poklicna identiteta notranji viri moči profesionalna občutljivost medverski dialog verska raznolikost vrednote pomoč drugim duhovna podpora osebna rast faith religiosity spirituality social work social workers ethics professional identity inner sources of strength professional sensitivity interfaith dialogue religious diversity values helping others spiritual support personal growth true false false [A.
