Natálie Mádlová, Alena Hricová
Journal of Nursing, Social Studies, Public Health and Rehabilitation X:X | DOI: 10.32725/jnss.2026.004

Coping strategies of workers, supervision, and peer support play a significant role. The aim of this study is to describe the manifestations of socially excluded clients towards social workers and the reactions of social workers to such behaviour, as well as to propose strategies for the prevention and management of this issue in social services...
