Social welfare professionals willing to participate in client information system development - Results from a large cross-sectional survey.

Human-centered design methods should be implemented throughout the client information system (CIS) development process to understand social welfare professionals’ needs, tasks, and contexts of use. The aim of this study was to examine Finnish social welfare professionals’ experiences of participating in CIS development. A national cross-sectional web-based survey on the CIS experiences of social welfare professionals (1145 respondents) was conducted in Finland in spring 2019. This study focused on statements concerning the experiences of end users with CIS development and participation. The results are reported by professional and age groups. Half (50%) of the 1145 respondents had participa…
Sosiaalialan korkeakoulutettujen ammattilaisten arviot asiakastietojärjestelmistä 2020
2022
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan sosiaalialan korkeakoulutettujen ammattilaisten arvioita käyttämistään asiakastietojärjestelmistä. Artikkelissa arvioidaan Sote-tieto hyötykäyttöön strategian tavoitteiden toteutumista sosiaalialan ammattilaisten näkökulmasta ja tuotetaan tuotemerkkikohtaista tietoa käyttäjäkokemuksista kehittämisen tueksi. Artikkelin tutkimuskysymyksenä oli: Minkälaisia arvioita sosiaalialan korkeakoulutetut ammattilaiset antavat käyttämilleen asiakastietojärjestelmille vuonna 2020 käyttäjäkokemuksiinsa perustuen? Tutkimusaineistona hyödynnettiin STePS 3.0 -hankkeessa syyslokakuussa 2020 ammattiliittojen kanssa yhteistyössä kerättyä tutkimusaineistoa (n=990), josta tähän artikkel…
Sosiaalialan ammattilaiset halukkaita osallistumaan asiakastietojärjestelmien kehittämiseen – osallistumistavoissa kehitettävää
2020
Tietojärjestelmien kehittämistyön lähtökohtana tulee olla vahva ymmärrys käyttäjien tarpeista, tehtävistä sekä toimintaympäristöstä. Lisäksi suunnitteluratkaisuja tulee arvioida käyttäjien kanssa kehittämisprosessin aikana ja käyttöönoton jälkeen. Vaikka kansallisesti kohdennetaan runsaasti resursseja tietojärjestelmäpalveluiden kehittämiseen, sosiaalialalta tutkimusta aiheesta löytyy niukasti. Sosiaalialan ammattilaisten kokemuksia asiakastietojärjestelmien kehittämistyöstä kartoitettiin osana keväällä 2019 toteutettua valtakunnallisesta käyttäjäkokemuskyselyä. Kysymyksissä käsiteltiin kokemuksia yhteistyöstä tietojärjestelmätoimittajan kanssa, osallistumisesta kehittämistyöhön ja osallist…
A lattice of participation: reflecting on examples of children's and young people's collective engagement in influencing social welfare policies and …
2014
The article introduces four case studies from Wales, France and Finland and explores the situated, intergenerational and dynamic nature of collective participation in child welfare settings. Collective participation is conceived of as a process of engagement in which children and young people have some influence over the initiation or direction of a project; and as seeking a product, or outcome. The case studies represent a range of forms of collective engagement and highlight some key resources which supported children's participation (communicative spaces, time, money, knowledge, social position, attitudes, social networks, institutional commitment, equipment, food and transport). Challen…
The Use of Probiotic and Antioxidants to Improve Welfare and Production of Layer Duck at Commercial Farms for Global Warming Mitigation
2021
Global warming affected increasing the risk of ducks to be more succeptable to heat stress which leads to decrease welfare and production. This research aimed to study duck welfare and productivity under probiotic and antioxidants administration at commercial farms. The method used was experiment with Completely Randomized Designed (CRD) based on factorial pattern. The treatment was dose of natural/homemade and commercial probiotics combined with vitamin C at 400 mg kg–1 and 600 mg kg–1 feed. Thus there were four treatment combinations. Each treatment was replicated five times, totally were 20 flocks of duck. Each flock had 50 laying females so there were 1 000 ducks. The treatment was cond…
Fish Welfare in Aquaponic Systems: Its Relation to Water Quality with an Emphasis on Feed and Faeces—A Review
2017
Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture (fish) and hydroponic cultivation of plants. This review examines fish welfare in relation to rearing water quality, fish feed and fish waste and faeces to develop a sustainable aquaponic system where the co-cultured organisms, fish, bacteria in biofilters and plants, should be considered holistically in all aquaponics operations. Water quality parameters are the primary environmental consideration for optimizing aquaponic production and for directly impacting fish welfare/health issues and plant needs. In aquaponic systems, the uptake of nutrients should be maximised for the healthy production of the plant biomass but without neglecting the best…
The Strategy of Harm Reduction in Work with People Addicted to Drugs and Alcohol
2016
The policy of EU Member States, the United States, South America and Australia is heading towards the restructuring of the support system for addicts by implementing actions meant to limit the health and social damages resulting from the use of psychoactive substances. Many countries offer access to low-threshold programmes whereby the participant is not forced to maintain abstinence or submit to the excessive rules and obligations of a rehabilitation center. Harm reduction is a philosophy based on pragmatic and realistic goals of working with addicts and users. It assumes that each change, even the smallest, is important and should be supported. Harm reduction programmes usually function i…
Predicción de la reincidencia con delincuentes juveniles: un estudio longitudinal
2016
espanolEl presente trabajo tiene como finalidad determinar la utilidad de una escala en la prediccion de la reincidencia de los delincuentes juveniles. Se realizo un estudio longitudinal con una muestra de 258 delincuentes juveniles que se hallaban cumpliendo una medida judicial. El instrumento que evaluo la prediccion de la reincidencia fue el Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory, cuyo resultado de su adaptacion al castellano es el Inventario de Gestion en Intervencion para Jovenes (IGI-J). Los jovenes delincuentes reincidentes y no reincidentes puntuaron de la forma esperada en los valores obtenidos en la prueba. No obstante, los resultados indican que el IGI-J identifica a to…
On the Prevalence of Addicted or Problematic Gaming in Finland
2019
Highlights • A dataset from Finland in 2015 (systematic random sampling N = 4511) suggests an (unweighted) prevalence rate of certain “addicted gaming” (videogame play) to be 0.6% among local gamers and 0.03% among the whole population. • The implied prevalence of certain “problematic gaming” (videogame play) climbs to 1.4% among local gamers and 0.6% among the whole population. • Of those “addicted” individuals to whom videogame play was a problem “almost always,” eight reported their hours of play during a week (72, 30, 10, 7, 4, 1, 1, 1), which indicate that “addicted gaming,” if understood as excessive play, might not be optimal for describing such problems.

2016
Los países occidentales han experimentado en las cuatro últimas décadas una inclinación hacia modelos de justicia más reactivos, punitivos o retribucionistas (Garland, 2005; Giménez y Alba, 2014). Ha sido especialmente dentro del ámbito anglosajón (Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña) donde esta nueva cultura del delito ha sido más destacable (Ashworth, 2005; Fernández-Molina, 2008). Europa, sin embargo, ha sabido resistirse a esta tendencia punitiva, intentando mantener un precario equilibrio entre los modelos propiamente retribucionistas y las políticas de bienestar. Por su parte, en Latinoamérica, en un intento por suavizar esta corriente punitiva, en la última década se ha evolucionado hacia …
