TOURKOVÁ, Jana
The diploma thesis deals with a social worker as a case manager when working with victims of crime. The aim of the thesis was to analyze how social workers in the South Bohemian region perceive their role when working with victims of crime. Two research questions were established focusing on the motivation and limitations of case managers in their work. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the current state of the issue, the social worker, the victim of crime, and on management and case management. The empirical part includes a qualitative research strategy, where IPA analysis was conducted. A semi-structured interview technique with seventeen questions was used to gather data. Twenty-eight informants were approached in the South Bohemian region, forming a research sample of six informants. Through the analysis and interpretation of the obtained data, it was found out what roles social workers perceive as case managers, what motivates them, and what limitations they face in their work. The analysis of conducted interviews suggests that social workers are aware of the various roles in their work, but there is consensus that they adapt to the individual needs of the client. The results of this thesis can be used for the needs of social workers, social work students. The anticipated benefit for practice is awareness of the role of a social worker as a case manager and for supervision with these workers.

Case management and social work with single parents
HRONOVÁ, Veronika
This thesis focuses on case management and social work with single parents. Its aim is to describe the utilization of the case management method (or its elements) in working with single parents. To obtain answers, the following research questions were formulated: "How is the Case management method practically implemented within services collaborating with single parents?", "What are the benefits of using this method (or its elements) in working with single parents?", and "What barriers exist to the utilization of case management in working with single parents?" The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical, or research, parts. The theoretical part defines the significance and history of family, single parenthood, its needs, and forms. In the second part of the theory, I focus on the significance and content of case management, its history, classification, and utilization. For the practical part, the method of interviewing was selected as part of qualitative research, using a semi-structured interview technique. A total of 15 interviews were conducted with professionals from organizations working with families, single parents in the Central Bohemian Region, or directly in the position of a case manager within the Czech Republic. In conclusion, the results of the research can be summarized and the research question "How is the case management method implemented in practice within the services cooperating with single parents" can be answered based on interviews with communication partners in such a way that the case management method is still not widely known and the job position of a case manager it is not common in services working with families and single parents. Those workers who know the method use it most often when evaluating and mapping the client's situation, when coordinating support and during case conferences. The workers see profit, but also on the client's side, who can use an individual approach and "tailor-made" help, according to them, he also has the option of choosing help and is supported in taking responsibility for his life, which, among other things, limits the emergence of the client's dependence on support or worker. Regarding Research Question 2 - How is the use of this method (or its elements) beneficial in working with single parents? It follows from the statements of the workers that those workers who are familiar with the method perceive it as beneficial for their work, for several reasons. One of the main reasons is to reduce the burden of deciding on the procedure for solving the client's situation, since the solution to the situation is sought with the active contribution of the client and collaborating organizations. This is related to another benefit perceived by communication partners, namely the reduction of the risk of errors. Another benefit, according to communication partners, is the establishment of close cooperation with support institutions in the region and the creation of a support network. Communication partners also perceive the feeling of more meaningful work with a greater and longer-term effect on the client's side as a bonus. From the communication partners' answers to Question 3 - What prevents the use of case management when working with single parents? it turned out that the expansion of case management is hindered by a lack of time for individual work with the client caused by an excess of other work and a lack of knowledge and information about the possibilities of use and benefits.

The process of providing support through a comprehensive rehabilitation system
ŠTURMOVÁ, Alena
The aim of the thesis was to analyse the current form, process, and available means of providing support within a comprehensive rehabilitation system and its coordination with the broader ARPIDA centre, from the perspective of clients' parents and with an emphasis on the application of case management. The centre emphasises the cooperation of the cross-functional team, with parents perceived as partners and an organic part of the team of specialists. The thesis can thus serve as a basis for the development and improvement of existing services and their coordination in the ARPIDA centre. The qualitative research strategy, interviewing research method and semi-structured interview data collection technique were determined to be the most suitable for this particular thesis. The sample group consisted of clients' parents at different life stages who use services at the ARPIDA centre. The informants were selected based on the staff's recommendation and to form a representative group of all types of services provided by ARPIDA. Eight interviews were conducted and the selection was concluded on the bases of data saturation, where there was repetition of themes, opinions and the interviews did not bring new information. The data was processed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which explores the subjective experiences of informants in detail, resulting in 13 main themes that underpin the research questions and the aim of the thesis: Perceptions of the holistic rehabilitation system, the interconnectedness of services, which services are missing from the centre's offerings, first contact with the centre, perceptions of communication with staff, whom parents can contact, collaboration with key workers, support from staff and their collaboration, how parents perceive their role in the cross-functional team, interprofessional meetings with staff, case manager involvement, and what are the weaknesses and strengths of the holistic rehabilitation process. Answers to all of these themes can help the ARPIDA centre to better understand how clients' parents perceive comprehensive coordinated care in the spirit of a holistic system of rehabilitation.
