Objective Individuals with chronic mental disorders face various challenges, which are not merely confined to the individual but also involve family caregivers and specialists in the field. Psychological and social rehabilitation assists in improving the functioning of individuals with mental disorders and facilitates their return to mainstream life. This study aims to investigate the challenges encountered in the rehabilitation process of these individuals. Materials & Methods This study employed a qualitative directional content analysis method. The sample consisted of 13 individuals with chronic mental illnesses, 3 family members, and 6 specialists with experience in patient care. Following ethical approval and obtaining informed consent, in-depth, unstructured interviews were conducted, aligning with the research objectives. Purposeful sampling and maximum diversity strategies were utilized to select and invite participants subjected to in-depth, semi- structured interviews. Data analysis followed Granheim and Lundman's approach. Results The analysis of the interviews revealed that the essence of this study is "striving to respond to weakened identity." The categories and subcategories extracted in this study include social limitations (social exclusion, societal negligence), instability (turbulent lifestyle, family as an overlooked entity, and economic pressures), therapeutic challenges (treatment inconsistency, therapist-related challenges, the complex nature of the illness, and postdischarge concerns), structural and macro challenges (social media neglect, incomplete perspectives, financial and credibility challenges) and loss of agency and volition (identity weakening, lack of balance between independence and support). Conclusion The rehabilitation of individuals with chronic mental disorders faces various challenges at individual, interpersonal, familial, organizational and structural levels. Strengthening the psychological and social aspects of rehabilitation can provide a better and more sustainable basis for treatment for these patients. Enhancing the roles and interventions of psychological and social rehabilitation teams, coordinating therapeutic interventions, supporting the families of patients, socializing behaviors toward these patients and their families, and paying more attention to the psychological and social rehabilitation of patients can result in better short-term and long-term outcomes for various stakeholders involved in the rehabilitation process.

Despite importance of education in overcoming drug addiction, the connection between the education system and the juvenile justice system remains unclear. Juvenile drug addicts often experience socially-disadvantaged situation, thereby social rehabilitation is an important aspect of recovery aside from medical rehabilitation. This research was performed to identify the challenges in social reintegration among juvenile drug addicts, describe the legal interplay between the relevant framework, and propose a model of legal development for the integration of social rehabilitation for juvenile drug addicts into the education system. Using normative legal research method and statutory approach, this research revealed numerous potentials and challenges in integrating social rehabilitation into the education system. A model consisting of normative reforms and practical framework of works is proposed to be applied by educational institutions and relevant government agencies. This research offers a vital step toward creating inclusive educational environments that prevent relapse and foster societal integration.

AbstractPurposeMethodsResultsConclusions\nIMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONSocial rehabilitation of aggression following an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is critically important for persons with ABI due to increased vulnerability of criminal behaviour related to post-injury changes in functioning. This review presents findings from studies that evaluated aggression interventions in both community and forensic populations of people with ABI.We searched PsycINFO, EMBASE, SocINDEX, CINAHL and Medline databases for studies published between 1st January 2000 and 15th October 2023.There were 15 studies (14 community-based, one forensic) that met inclusion criteria. Pharmacological management (6) was largely ineffective and anger management interventions (6) presented with inconsistent effectiveness. Emotion regulation (1) may be effective for externalised aggression. Both mindfulness and transcranial direct current stimulation (1) were effective, and the results of a forensic peer group approach (1) were not tested for statistical significance. There was variability in the measurement of aggression, injury severity, and cognitive impairment.Whilst community interventions for aggression in persons with ABI are prevalent, findings for effectiveness have been mixed and there is a paucity of evaluated interventions in forensic samples. Further research is needed to unravel the complex interplay of factors contributing to aggression and develop effective social rehabilitation for persons with ABI.Social rehabilitation is critical following an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) due to increased risk of displaying challenging behaviours, such as aggression, that may significantly reduce an individual's quality of life.The current review highlights a lack of suitable interventions targeting aggression for individuals with ABI that account for injury-related impairments which impact capacity to engage in intervention.Findings emphasise the need to develop appropriate and relevant social rehabilitation interventions for aggression in ABI populations, particularly forensic populations, to prevent negative outcomes.Social rehabilitation is critical following an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) due to increased risk of displaying challenging behaviours, such as aggression, that may significantly reduce an individual's quality of life.The current review highlights a lack of suitable interventions targeting aggression for individuals with ABI that account for injury-related impairments which impact capacity to engage in intervention.Findings emphasise the need to develop appropriate and relevant social rehabilitation interventions for aggression in ABI populations, particularly forensic populations, to prevent negative outcomes.

This study aimed to employ NeutroAlgebra theory for identifying the factors with the greatest impact on the deficient state of Ecuador's social rehabilitation system. To achieve this, a survey was conducted with a group of 56 expert officials in the field, hailing from the Babahoyo canton. Neutrosophic logic based on SVNS was applied to implement the DEMATEL method. The utilization of this method helped establish causal relationships among the initial elements, directing interview efforts towards the causal elements of the main issues. Through the application of NeutroAlgebra, it was determined that, while the overall results were favorable, there were unfavorable responses regarding the budget for various activities, the rise in crime in the country, and the absence of a robust prison reform. The attained results fulfilled the objectives and showcased the practical utility of neutrosophic logic in addressing real-life problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The review explored how serious games are utilized for preventing adolescents' social exclusion. Four original articles were retrieved using six databases. The use of serious games to prevent adolescents' social exclusion was rare, but there are potential areas where serious games could be utilized. Serious games may be a promising new intervention to use in adolescents' social rehabilitation and social work, preventing social exclusion, reducing the risk of unemployment, lack of education and training. These early findings suggest using serious games as a part of adolescents' social work and social rehabilitation to prevent social exclusion among adolescents, along with other methods.

The field of research on blind and visually impaired services is broad, diverse, and dominated by empirical and interdisciplinary research. It is determined by the object under study, which includes a whole range of services, starting with social services and ending with personal health. On the other hand, the achievements of ophthalmologists in this field (compared to scientists in other fields) are significantly higher. However, it is noticeable in academic studies that NGOs must be professional and ready to provide more complex social services (research reveals that NGOs provide these services to the blind and partially sighted in about half of the world's countries). This article aims to conceptualise the social rehabilitation policy, legal regulation, and models of the blind and visually impaired in Lithuania. Scientific and expert literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, and case studies are used to achieve the goal. The current research found that a gradual development of services is necessary to increase the availability and effectiveness of rehabilitation services for blind and partially sighted persons. It is necessary to ensure the expansion of the service system to achieve the interoperability of health and social services. Systematic monitoring and evaluation become important to ensure the quality of such services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Previous studies indicate that poor oral health may constitute a barrier for labour market success. This study examines whether an oral health promotion intervention has an effect on economic self-support, and proximity to the labour market, among socially disadvantaged unemployed people. Methods: From April–June 2018, we enrolled 273 vulnerable people on welfare benefits into a randomised controlled trial. Participants were allocated to either control (n =159), or intervention (n =114). Intervention consisted of individual support to improve individuals' oral health by reducing significant barriers to dental care. Ten participants were excluded, leaving 263 participants (intervention n =110, control n =153) for analyses. A national register was used to assess economic self-support and proximity to the labour market within 1.5 years post-intervention. Items of information on health and socio-demographics were obtained from a questionnaire and from national registers. Logistic and multiple linear regression modelling was performed. Results: Overall, higher frequencies of economic self-support and proximity to the labour market were found in the intervention group, although no significant results were seen for economic self-support alone. Adjusted models revealed significantly higher odds (odds ratio=1.85, 95% confidence interval 1.08–3.17) among the intervention group of achieving proximity to the labour market after 12 months. After 18 months, the intervention group had on average obtained 5 more weeks (95% confidence interval 0.02–9.99) with proximity to the labour market. Conclusions: Overall, the oral health promotion intervention had a positive effect on proximity to the labour market in the intervention group, especially within the first year of the study. Our findings suggest that interventions promoting oral health among socially disadvantaged and unemployed groups may contribute to social rehabilitation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reintegrating juvenile offenders into society with a positive reception is a primary objective of education, aimed at breaking the cycle of incarceration that results in recidivism. This article aims to delineate the prison education policies within Indonesian juvenile correctional facilities (LPKA), focusing on regulatory frameworks and their practical implementation. It focuses on the issue of the LPKA's capability in Indonesia to ensure access to education, which is a fundamental right of juvenile inmates, and on whether its benefits can be felt and realized. Data collection methods encompassed interviews, regulatory assessments, institutional report evaluations, and literature reviews. Findings indicate that, despite a 270% decrease in juvenile inmate numbers from 2018 to 2022, only 68% of this population was granted educational access. Contributing factors include specific regulatory constraints on educational access and a lack of innovative collaborations, even with the reduced workload in LPKA. The study advocates for the initiation of formal educational institutions within LPKA, minimizing reliance on the Ministry of Education and allowing for curriculum adaptation to prevailing conditions.

A partir de una investigación empírica y contextualizada en el sistema penal juvenil uruguayo, este artículo debate los fines resocializadores de las «medidas socioeducativas» como simulación de procesos de incapacitación de las adolescencias más vulnerables en la legislación nacional. Como indican los discursos profesionales analizados, la asunción de la responsabilidad por el acto imputado constituye el primer paso hacia la rehabilitación del infractor. En este sentido, el relevamiento empírico de la indagación muestra que, en el sistema penal juvenil uruguayo, las nociones de responsabilización y rehabilitación se encuentran intrínsecamente relacionadas en la concepción predominante de sus autoridades y profesionales. Sustentado en el cambio actitudinal y conductual de los adolescentes judicializados, el discurso de la rehabilitación opera como control y vigilancia, tanto como castigo. Based on empirical research and contextualized in the Uruguayan juvenile penal system, this article discusses the resocializing purposes of «socio-educational measures» as a simulation of incapacitation processes for the most vulnerable adolescents in national legislation. As indicated by the professional discourses analyzed, responsibility for the imputed act constitutes the first step toward the rehabilitation of the offender. Therefore, the empirical survey shows that, in the Uruguayan juvenile penal system, the notions of accountability and rehabilitation are intrinsically related to the predominant conception of its authorities and professionals. Based on the attitudinal and behavioral change of the adolescents under trial, the rehabilitation discourse operates as control and surveillance as well as punishment.

The authors discuss a rarely raised topic concerning the role of education in life in penitentiary isolation. Basic issues of education, learning, and social rehabilitation against the background of classical rehabilitation pedagogy. The authors present the axiological concepts and the concepts of rehabilitation. The situation of people in isolation arouses significant interest. Awareness of the high rate of recidivism indicates that, in addition to rehabilitation through therapy and work, auxiliary institutions such as prison schools should also play an important role. It is education that allows many of the basic needs of incarcerated people to be met, thus giving them the opportunity for a better start, once they leave prison.

Objectives: Income poverty is one of the most common problems of old age. It varies among older adults living in different societies. This study aims to investigate the predictors of income poverty in older adults based on the data from Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. Methods: The secondary data analysis method was used in the present study. The income poverty rate and its associated variables were extracted from 36 members of OECD countries and entered into the SPSS software, version 22. For data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics, including the Pearson correlation coefficient test and multiple linear regression analysis were employed. Results: The results showed that in the studied countries, the mean of income poverty among older adults was higher in women (11.48±16.2), and the elderly aged 75 years or above (12.57±16.1). The income poverty of older adults was significantly correlated with older adults’ share in the gross domestic product (r=-0.376, P=024), targeted pension coverage (r=-0.505, P=0.003), income sources based on public transfers (r=-0.460, P=0.005), income sources from work (r=0.697, P=0.000), mandatory pension contribution rate (r=-0.343, P=0.040), and net pension replacement rate (r=-0.424, P=0.010). The results of regression analysis also revealed that variables of income sources from work and targeted pension coverage explained 66% of the variance in income poverty among older adults. Discussion: It is important to pay attention to the variables of age and gender of older people to overcome economic vulnerability in social policies. It is also necessary to consider the role of the share of public transfers and basic old-age pensions to reduce older adults’ poverty. The lessons to be learned from OECD countries in this research are useful for the social rehabilitation of older adults in Iran.

The loss of professional status following the deterioration of a person’s health can constitute a complex of factors that generate vulnerability. Disability benefits face not only a drastic drop in income, but also risks of social marginalization, isolation and even loss of family support. Currently, the intervention for this category of persons is extremely limited and underrepresented in the architecture of social services, as legisla‑ tive resettlement and the creation of dedicated services are needed for the recovery and social rehabilitation of sick pensioners and their relatives.

This study sought to gain an understanding of: (a) the formation and operation of four instrumental music programmes active in prisons between 1973 and 2020 and (b) the meanings ascribed to those programmes by their directors and their perceptions of the meanings that incarcerated instrumentalists ascribed to their participation in those groups, focusing on aspects of the programming that might contribute to desistance. Four retired music educators completed an online, open-ended questionnaire, describing their experiences teaching instrumental music in prisons. Using inductive thematic analysis, the following themes in participants' responses were identified: (a) the importance of support from those in power in starting and running prison-based music programmes; (b) the potential for participation in prison-based instrumental music programmes to help people overcome prejudice and establish community connections; and (c) satisfaction through the development of new abilities among incarcerated musicians. From these findings, I argue that prison-based instrumental music programmes can potentially foster activities and relationships that contribute to social rehabilitation and desistance. Furthermore, the finding that incarcerated musicians reportedly enjoyed a wide array of musical genres and pedagogical approaches invites further discussion about the potential inclusion of different kinds of instrumental music programmes in prison contexts.

W artykule ukazano koncepcyjne podobieństwa między eklezjalnym i świeckim rozumieniem rezyliencji i probacji, ich ewangeliczne podłoże oraz powiązania tych pojęć z działalnością pedagogiczno-resocjalizacyjną. Na tym tle przedstawiono zarys historii ruchu Teen Challenge wraz z jego współczesną aktywnością na świecie i w Polsce. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono ośrodkowi ruchu w Broczynie koło Słupska. Następnie zaprezentowano fragmenty świadectw uczestników programów terapeutycznych tego ośrodka wraz z fenomenograficzną mapą wynikową podstawowych powtarzających się w wypowiedziach kategorii. Ustalono, że specyfiką omawianej terapii są wynikająca z założeń negatywnej antropologii (ludzka niemoc) wiara w Boga i poleganie na nim w procesie zdrowienia.

This research was based on issues related to Society 5.0 era for the requisite learning process to be linked to technology. The technology can provide students with flexible time to access learning materials. In addition, the specification of the material in this research is a practical social rehabilitation procedure for handling sexual assault for adolescents. This research aims to develop web-based practice guidance for the practical procedure of social rehabilitation in the society 5.0 era. The research was carried out to produce guidance for the practical procedure products that can be used for practical application in lectures to facilitate students' ability to practice social rehabilitation after graduating. This study uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the Planning, Production, and Evaluation (PPE) model. The research process involves documentation studies and validity tests by two media experts. The study results prove that the web-based guidance for the practical procedure is valid to be used as a resource for learning practical procedures in the Social Rehabilitation course. These results are based on the experts' assessment, with an average rating from the two media experts being 86.59% in the "Valid (Not Revised)" category. This research produces web-based practice guidance for the practical procedure of social rehabilitation, which has been assessed through expert judgment and proven valid to be applied by the lecturer of Social Rehabilitation courses at the Family Welfare Education Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (FWE UPI) Study Program.

The objective of this work was to use the NeutroAlgebra theory to determine the factors with the highest incidence in the poor state of the social rehabilitation system in Ecuador. For this purpose, a survey was applied to a group of 56 experts in the field from the canton of Babahoyos. Neutrosophic Logic based on SVNS was applied to the DEMATEL method. The application of this method made it possible to determine the causal relationships between the initial elements and to focus the efforts of the interview on the causal elements of the main problems. Through the use of NeutroAlgebra it was possible to determine that, although in general, the results were satisfactory, unfavorable responses were observed in relation to the budget to carry out the different activities, the increase in crime in the country, as well as the lack of good prison reforms. The results allowed the fulfillment of the objectives and demonstrated the usefulness of neutrosophic logic in real-life problems.

Objectives The main aim of the research was to find out the ways of adaptation to prison isolation of Polish long-term prisoners. Material and methods The study was conducted in two stages. First, the prison files of 15 convicted prisoners who had been in isolation for a minimum of 20 years (this was the only sampling criterion) were analyzed. Then in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with them. Results Adaptation to prison isolation in the case of long-term prisoners is an extremely individual matter and it is very difficult to generalise here. The time served is not the determining variable here. Conclusions Polish long-term prisoners experience similar problems as inmates in the USA, Canada or Western Europe (lack of ideas from the Prison Service what to do with them, postponing their cases to indefinite "later" or prisoners becoming too familiar with prison conditions, resulting in fear of leaving prison after serving their sentences).

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of using “natural therapy” technology in the process of social and psychological rehabilitation of the elderly. The article analyzes the relevance of the problem of social isolation, maladaptation and loneliness of elderly people in different countries of the world, and in Ukraine in particular, leading to sustainable social and psychological dysfunctions and substantiates the need to overcome them. The author's methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of socio-psychological rehabilitation sessions with the elderly using the rehabilitation implements of natural therapy is proposed. The mechanisms and technologies of social and psychological rehabilitation of the elderly using the rehabilitation concept of natural therapy are proposed and have been tested. As part of the research, an experiment was conducted among 100 people, half of whom were engaged in an individual rehabilitation course using the technology of the ecological rehabilitation concept of natural therapy. The article describes the results of the proposed classes for the participants of the experimental group and presents proposals in the field of improving rehabilitation measures based on natural therapy in the framework of the social and psychological rehabilitation of the elderly.

The Świdowie experiment was not a classic experiment, but a search for the effectiveness of correctional treatment. Already known resocialization methods were used in changed organizational and environmental conditions. The OBP experiment was an attempt to correct previously made mistakes. In both experiments, an educational concept of punishment was implemented, in which school and science were at the centre of the prison for the juveniles. The system developed in Szczypiorno gave high effectiveness of the treatment measured by low return to crime. Many solutions of the experiment have entered the provisions of penitentiary law.

The aim of the article is to present computer games as a potential tool for application in social rehabilitation. The author extensively discusses fundamental issues related to computer games, such as terminology and definitions, while focusing on highlighting their distinctive features and diverse functions. Additionally, the article provides social and scientific justification for conducting research on the discussed topic, emphasizing the significance of computer games as a socio-cultural medium, the ongoing phenomenon of digitization, and the increasing engagement of users in such activities. To establish the theoretical foundations, the article refers to contemporary theories of resocialization, including social interactionism theory, creative resocialization, the concept of resilience, and cognitive theories. Furthermore, the author reviews the Polish scientific discourse on games in the field of social rehabilitation pedagogy, highlighting the lack of publications and studies regarding the utilization of computer games in this context. The komputeroconducted analysis indicates that the issue of employing computer games in resocialization remains undescribed and unexplored in domestic literature, which may serve as motivation for further research in this field in the future. The discovery of the potential that computer games have in the resocialization process can contribute to their utilization as an effective supporting tool for this process, bringing tangible benefits to individuals at risk of social maladjustment or social non-adaptation. Modernizing the process of resocialization through the use of computer games allows for the creation of an interactive and engaging environment that promotes active learning, the development of social skills, and the cultivation of prosocial attitudes. With their interactivity and adaptability to individual needs, computer games can provide a more efficient and personalized approach to resocialization, thus facilitating a better process of social reintegration for individuals.

Introduction: By creating a framework composed of such concepts as the self, definition of the situation, meaning, joint action, making indications, and social labelling, symbolic interactionism (SI) provides us with a useful conceptual apparatus for understanding human behavior and analyzing the process of criminogeneity. Research Aim: Similar to the way that Howard Becker has discussed the social character of deviations using excerpts of interviews that he carried out with marijuana smokers and jazz musicians, I try to show on the basis of interviews with counsellors how we can use methods of rehabilitation drawing from SI to social work and treatment of at-risk and delinquent youth. Method: These findings were based on data drawn from in-depth interviews (semi-structured) with counsellors from day care treatment centres (sociotherapists). Results: The article presents four methods of rehabilitation and social work with at-risk and delinquent youth, which were generated from collected data and from the theory of SI. Conclusion: Probation officers, social workers, counsellors, street workers, sociotherapists are professions that can use the ideas and methods presented in the article in their professional practice.

Background: The Polish Probation Service is strongly linked to social work. This text presents how the work and the problems of clients have changed in the Polish Probation Service during the COVID-19 pandemic. The article presents empirical data. Methods: A questionnaire was used among 216 Polish probation officers. Results: The obtained results describe the changes in the problems experienced by clients of the Probation Service during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: Since we can expect further increase in the frequency of occurring personal and social problems experienced by court-appointed custodians’ wards, financial resources and energy of social institutions, cooperation with court guardianship should be focused on psycho-educational campaigns concentrating on providing information on symptoms of problems in the mental and emotional sphere. Preventing exclusion of groups at risk in the labour market and supporting families to prevent the escalation of psychopathology, development of addictions and domestic violence should be priority areas.

Results: The obtained results describe the changes in the problems experienced by clients of the Probation Service during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: Since we can expect further increase in the frequency of occurring personal and social problems experienced by court-appointed custodians’ wards, financial resources and energy of social institutions, cooperation with court guardianship should be focused on psycho-educational campaigns concentrating on providing information on symptoms of problems in the mental and emotional sphere. Preventing exclusion of groups at risk in the labour market and supporting families to prevent the escalation of psychopathology, development of addictions and domestic violence should be priority areas.

Aim: The purpose of this article is a thorough review and assessment of the problematic issues of ensuring the post-covid restoration of health, work capacity, and occupational safety in current conditions. Analysis and generalization of components of individual types of rehabilitation and determination of measures to combat acute respiratory disease COVID-19. materials and methods: The research is based on the analysis of international documents, strategies, recommendations, guidelines, empirical and analytical data of the World Health Organization and the International Labor Organization; scientific and analytical research. The article is grounded on dialectical, comparative-legal, cysteine-structural, formal-legal, and analytical methods. Additionally, in order to establish the facts of the provision of rehabilitation procedures, a survey of 1,063 respondents who suffered COVID-19 disease was conducted through social networks. Conclusions: Rehabilitation is one of the main components of medical and social care. It is the rehabilitation after COVID-19 that makes it possible to eliminate the negative consequences of the suffered virus disease. Among the effective post-covid recovery rehabilitation measures special attention should be paid to innovative means that can integrate the social protection system. COVID-19 recovery should take place through the treatment provided by professional rehabilitators; an individual program should be developed for each patient who has sought help, which will depend on the patient's state of health and needs; also, modern techniques and equipment must be used.

The objective of this work was to use the NeutroAlgebra theory to determine the factors with the highest incidence in the poor state of the social rehabilitation system in Ecuador. For this purpose, a survey was applied to a group of 56 experts in the field from the canton of Babahoyos. Neutrosophic Logic based on SVNS was applied to the DEMATEL method. The application of this method made it possible to determine the causal relationships between the initial elements and to focus the efforts of the interview on the causal elements of the main problems. Through the use of NeutroAlgebra it was possible to determine that, although in general, the results were satisfactory, unfavorable responses were observed in relation to the budget to carry out the different activities, the increase in crime in the country, as well as the lack of good prison reforms. The results allowed the fulfillment of the objectives and demonstrated the usefulness of neutrosophic logic in real-life problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mental health can be negatively affected during life to varying degrees, from minor indispositions created by daily debates, to major psycho-social traumas that have a significant and long-term impact. Physical injuries, especially those involving limb amputation, are probably the most traumatic and hard to accept events, as they cause severe biological, psychological and social damage to the individual. Losing a limb or part of a limb leads to significant physical disability, changes in physical appearance and self-esteem, difficulty returning to work and problems with social integration. Consequently, after an amputation operation, the patient's recovery must be approached with great care. Some of the patients adapt relatively easily to the new condition, while others successfully benefit from intensive recovery programs. Unfortunately, a small group of patients fail in post-operative recovery and some even believe that isolation/suicide could be a possible solution for their difficulties. The psychological response/behavior of patients to limb amputations is dependent on many factors, such as: personality, level of education, social status, the environment and culture from which it originates, the support from society in terms of their integration, age, gender, the affected limb and extent of amputation, accessibility to different methods of recovery/prosthetics, etc. This complexity of the factors involved in the post-operative recovery period of the amputee patient causes the rehabilitation programs to be extremely elaborate on the one hand, but also highly personalized according to the individual characteristics, on the other hand. In this review, aspects of the psychological rehabilitation of patients undergoing limb amputation are presented and updated. It seems that such measures should be approached interdisciplinary with the patient and initiated even before surgery, if possible, to achieve the best possible results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The socialization of the uninhabitable housing program has not run optimally, the implementation of the program execution in the field is hampered, and the supervision is weak. The purpose of this study was to analyze the Social Rehabilitation Program for Uninhabitable Houses, which from now on is referred to as RS-Rutilahu in Padaawas Village, Pasirwangi District, Garut Regency. The theory used in this study explains the mode of policy implementation proposed by Van Metter and Van Horn, covering Policy Standards and Objectives, Resources, Inter-Organizational Communication, Characteristics of Implementing Agents, Tendencies (Disposition), Economic, Social and Political Conditions. The method used in this study is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The research location is Padaawas Village, Pasirwangi District, Garut Regency. Data were obtained using library research and field studies through observations, interviews, and documentation. The study results indicate that the implementation of poverty reduction policies through the Social Rehabilitation program for Uninhabitable Houses in Padaawas Village is categorized as not running optimally. This is shown by the six dimensions that affect the course of the policy, especially the problems caused by human resources that are not optimal enough to implement the RS-Rutilahu policy.

Objective: The re-entry of offenders to the community after their imprisonment is a sensitive and important stage and should always be considered by governmental and non-governmental organizations. The proper transition from prison to the community occurs when rehabilitation and social reintegration programs are developed and implemented based on the real needs of individuals. Social work is one of the professions that can help the judicial system with this issue. Many graduates of this profession provide social work services to prisoners and their families. Therefore, it is necessary to identify effective operational solutions in accordance with the conditions of the country and formulate a specific framework. This study aims to prepare a guideline for specialized social work intervention for community re-entry of offenders with a history of violence against individuals. Materials & Methods: In this study, a qualitative approach was used to prepare the specialized guideline. First, the initial barriers and facilitators of successful community re-entry for offenders with a history of violence against individuals were prepared using thematic analysis. Then, based on the protocols of the social work process, the initial draft was developed. Next, at a focus group discussion session with faculty members and experts, the draft was reviewed and improved. To assess its applicability, we used the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) tool. Results: Intertwined concerns, protective shields, welfare/economic security, social support, and achieving relative independence were identified as the five dimensions of successful community re-entry. The specialized social work interventions were presented after approval in four main stages: preparation for the case plan, development of the case plan, interventions and actions, and monitoring and review of interventions. The results of evaluation by AGREE tool showed an overall acceptable average of 58.7% (82.9% for scope and purpose, 88.1% for stakeholder involvement, 85.6% for rigor of development, 83% for clarity of presentation, 84.9% for applicability, and 89.8% for editorial independence). The users of this guideline are social workers and other professions related to prisons and training and security organizations, especially after-release care centers. Conclusion: Investing in rehabilitation programs for prisoners is one of the best and most cost-effective ways to prevent the reoccurrence of violence, which not only has beneficial effects on those concerned but also promotes public safety. This issue becomes important when social reintegration and rehabilitation programs are developed based on scientific approaches and perspectives. Future studies on the effectiveness of the developed guideline, considering the local conditions, can help identify the effective factors of re-entry to the community in newly released prisoners. The skills and capabilities of social workers in presenting specialized interventions and establishing professional and inter-organizational communication, supporting rules and programs, motivation, and enthusiasm of the offender to change can all contribute to the success of this guideline in achieving the defined goals.

The effectiveness of social rehabilitation arouses a plethora of emotions both in the public opinion and in the environments connected with the activities supporting the processes of secondary socialization. This issue is still current and gives rise to emotions, which stems from multiple dilemmas referring to its scope, the factors influencing its level, the possibilities of measuring it, or even the precise definition thereof. In this article the attempt is undertaken to depict the complexity of the evaluation process as regards the effectiveness of social rehabilitation treatments. The review of the criteria allowing for the estimation of social rehabilitation effects is conducted, plus the reference is made to the results of findings over the effectiveness of treatments as carried out by the probation officers for adults, along with the mention of practice.

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of using "natural therapy" technology in the process of social and psychological rehabilitation of the elderly. The article analyzes the relevance of the problem of social isolation, maladaptation and loneliness of elderly people in different countries of the world, and in Ukraine in particular, leading to sustainable social and psychological dysfunctions and substantiates the need to overcome them. The author's methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of socio-psychological rehabilitation sessions with the elderly using the rehabilitation implements of natural therapy is proposed. The mechanisms and technologies of social and psychological rehabilitation of the elderly using the rehabilitation concept of natural therapy are proposed and have been tested. As part of the research, an experiment was conducted among 100 people, half of whom were engaged in an individual rehabilitation course using the technology of the ecological rehabilitation concept of natural therapy. The article describes the results of the proposed classes for the participants of the experimental group and presents proposals in the field of improving rehabilitation measures based on natural therapy in the framework of the social and psychological rehabilitation of the elderly.

This article describes desistance from crime/abandonment of criminal behavior in the scientific discourse of Polish social rehabilitation pedagogy. On the Polish ground, it is a research category in social rehabilitation, but virtually absent from the broader pedagogical discourse. Desistance from criminal behavior, or more broadly: deviant, para-criminal behavior or manifestations of social maladjustment, in the light of the analysis conducted in the pages of this article, deserves to be called a pedagogical conceptual category forming, evolving, functioning, as it were, "in a state of creation" (Palka, 2003).
