The results were measured by means of structured interviews with social workers from various asylum houses. The qualitative part is focused on the analysis of the factors that led the grandmothers to being in an asylum house. This section was based on interviews with three communication partners, i.e. grandmothers with a child in care in asylum houses in the Moravian-Silesian Region.
