| Description | OBJECTIVES: This text contains answers to the question, "What role do social workers play in changing parents' approaches to the treatment of childhood enuresis?" THEORETICAL BASE: Enuresis is an uncontrollable phenomenon of the baby's bladder when the control is supposed to be already self-evident. It is not generally obvious that parents of dysfunctional families bring the children to the doctor, understand and follow doctor's recommendation. METHODS: A qualitative research strategy, particularly a multiple case study method, was used to answer the question. The methods of data collection were the analysis of documents (the documentation of minors, medical reports, reports from other co-operating institutions, and records of social surveys) and observations. Three cases of client families with typologically different approaches to treatment, which are registered at the institution of social and legal protection of children, were deliberately selected. OUTCOMES: We have found out that parents' approaches to the treatment are active or ambivalent to passive and depend on the personality and abilities of the parents. The roles of social workers are motivational, counseling, activating, supportive, and controlling. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: The conclusions can be used in education of social workers, their practice and professional approach to clients. |
