Tiivistelmä
Purpose of the thesis report is to translate the research process carried through in a secular setting into a diaconal context and language. Thesis report discusses and draws together three different pieces of work from the context of Project OK: two publications and a workshop participation. Purpose of the research conducted within the Project OK was to evaluate a development project funded by the European Social Fund, from the service-user perspective. Evaluation was conducted by the method of co-research.
The research data was collected with the method of co-research and the method is outlined in this thesis report. The principles behind the concepts of conviviality and child theology are similar to the principles required in the planning and carrying through the co-research process. Research objective for the thesis report aimed at assessing how the diaconal con-cepts of conviviality and child theology were visible in the research process taking place in a secular setting. Additionally, theological concepts of the original blessing, sins and the original sin are explored in connection to the concept of addiction.
Diaconal concepts of conviviality and child theology served as useful Christian concepts for the description of the secular project, whereas the concepts of original blessing and the sins may assist in depicting addiction from a complementary angle. Additional aim of the thesis report was to underscore an existing deeper understanding of the complex phenom-enon of addiction in order to invite theological perspectives to the discussion.
The thesis report informs that the convivial approach to research may be useful in devel-oping health and social care services, in this example the service of opioid substitution treatment. Such conclusion indicates more general further possibilities of structural deacon work as a field.
