20.500.12556/RUL-181397 Secure unit and risk management practices in a long-term mental health institution in Slovenia Unidade de segurança e práticas de gestão de risco numa instituição de cuidados continuados de saúde mental na Eslovénia The article addresses risk management in an institution in Slovenia that provides long-term residential care in the field of mental health. It briefly describes the country-specific context of institutional care, especially in secure units, as places where coercive measures are permitted. The article includes an analysis of an action research project embedded in the process of deinstitutionalisation. Firstly, it demonstrates that three types of placement act as the primary risk management strategy in the institution. Secondly, it shows that neither the general risk management strategies nor the risk assessment method used are centred on the individual, but rather serve to ensure the safety of the unit. The article suggests that the secure unit and its practices are repressive and violate human rights. The transformation of secure units must be a primary goal of deinstitutionalisation. human rights mental health risk management deinstitutionalisation secure units social work Slovenia človekove pravice duševno zdravje varovane enote ocena tveganja deinstitucionalizacija socialno delo Slovenija true false true Angleški jezik Portugalski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-04-03 13:46:51 2026-04-03 13:46:57 2026-04-04 04:47:30 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 9-28 N. 42 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 364-786.2(497.4) 1647-0737 10.4000/13x59 236259587 E-cadernos_Skraban.pdf E-cadernos_Skraban.pdf 1 CB0ADA1FC182FB076EC5094FD68F9175 7bb9beb0f5f16cdfc05f67914953a1ef9ae3ac58fbb21e2ab40ee4ee41fafd11 9750973d-2f53-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=231826 https://journals.openedition.org/eces/9442 1 a80d2c6f-2f52-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=231825 Fakulteta za socialno delo 0 0 0
