Ethics

In Finland, everyone has the right to adequate social and health services, as enshrined in the Constitution. The welfare regions are responsible for organizing the services. The Act on the Status and Rights of Social Welfare Clients defines procedures in client work and data protection issues. Healthcare services are regulated by the Healthcare Act. Respect and dignity of people are the basis of everything in the social and health sector. Equal, equal treatment.

Social media

  I looked at the pages of the Mielenterveyden keskusliitto. Even now, there are over a million people with mental health problems in Finland. I think mental health is a really good topic for social media, it's easy to produce content from it. They have 12.9 thousand followers on Instagram, and 27 thousand on Facebook. Through this, you can also find courses, lectures and events organized by many sub-organizations. There are videos on YouTube, the most views are with the series called Metalliitieri, which has received a whopping 29 thousand views with Marko Hietala's visit! Using celebrities in videos is an effective way to expand awareness of mental health issues. Social media can certainly reach young people, and depending on the platform, people of other ages. People can recognize that aha, I think I suffer from this. This is not just my thing, there are others who feel the same way. Getting help can easily happen with a one-click tactic via the internet, if meeting peop...

My studies

  My Studies   I think the studies to become a social worker have started well. I have quickly caught up with my studies. My studies at Open University have definitely helped in that. I have collected more than 60 points! One of them dealt with strength, because strongmanship is interesting. The other studies were well connected to this social worker education. I feel like I can easily get into a flow state. The disadvantage of studying seems to be my private life, my family. I am a masseuse by my most recent education, and I work as a cleaner. I have founded a cleaning company, private trader. Im also a paid employee another cleaning company. Cleaning is a nice, stress-free job! I would hope that through the social worker education, I would open up routes to other interesting educations that I could do as an entrepreneur! I just don't know what that would be yet. The reason why I went to this school was my great interest in psychology. Through this, I hoped to get hol...

Benner´s Theory

Kuva
  Benner´s Theory.   Benner's theory is the Beginner to Expert theory developed by Patricia Benner for nursing work in the 1980s.  In it, Benner divides competence into 5 levels. A new level, Mastery, has been added later, but it is not here because it is not part of the original theory. The theory has been used in several studies in the health sector to describe the levels of professional competence and the learning needs that arise at each level. 1. Novice 2. Advanced Beginner 3. Competent 4. Proficient 5. Expert Here is a mind map made of Benner's theory. Youtube.

Reflection about cultural communication

  The customer is always met as an individual. Talking to customer by customers name and greeting the customer in Finnish. Greeting in Finnish can help increase the feeling of togetherness. After greeting you can ask in which language he wants to continue. If you are unsure about the pronunciation of the name, you can ask the customer directly. Use clear language, speak one thing at a time. Make sure the customer has understood the core issues. Talking about everyday things builds trust. Ask, how's it goin. Remember, person's identity consists of many different things, a person is more than a refugee or an immigrant. You have to be aware that every culture has its own values, ideals and ways of doing things. Consider the influence of your own culture on your actions and attitudes. You can ask the customer directly if you are wondering something. Using an interpreter when necessary is important. The interpretation must be external, from the point of view of the customer...

Professional dialogue

Dialogue, according to David Bohm's book On Dialogue (1990), is a social and psychological activity in which together we try to reach a better understanding. In a dialogic discussion, others are met as equals and as equals, with dignity, respecting different thoughts and interests. Speeches are taken and used equally. Being dialogic helps to meet people from different cultural backgrounds. Being dialogic helps to face different cultures and people from different cultural backgrounds. Dialogical skills are honed by practicing, the more you do it, the better you get at it. Temperament has an effect. A person with an active temperament is naturally involved and takes up space. Withdrawal temperaments are more likely to follow on the sidelines. In a dialogical conversation, the active temperament has to learn to give space to others, and the withdrawn temperament to take space and position. What is essential is a genuine meeting, where thinking and discussing together is successf...
