To find out how the current system of protection of children's rights works, focusing on the clients of the youth curator and to identify key problems in the field of implementation of the current policy of protection of children's rights from the perspective of youth curators, as line workers.

The policy of mental health care in the Czech Republic and Slovakia from the perspective of historical institutionalism
Rizikyová, Tímea ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Kopsa Těšinová, Jolana (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to provide the reader with a comprehensive view of institutional developments in the area of mental health policy in the two compared countries - the Czech Republic and Slovakia. These countries have a long history, and their health policies were based on the same foundations. This determined their different direction also in the area of mental health policies, the effective setting of which is today more important than ever before. The available global and national statistics point to alarming numbers in the area of mental illness, lack of staff and capacity and insufficient financial resources devoted to this area. Based on historical institutionalism and its concepts, I present identification of the reasons why both countries stagnated in the area of mental health policies for a long time and what were the critical junctures behind the change of institutional settings of mental health care policies to their present form. In the final part of the thesis, I compare these political settings, I identify the main similarities and differences, and also, I formulate the most problematic areas of the current mental health care systems. Since the Czech Republic started to implement the reform of psychiatric care several years ago and Slovakia is still waiting for this phase, the...

An application of Kingdon's multiple streams model to the issue of institutional care units for infants
Adámková, Kateřina ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Angelovská, Olga (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the closure of infant care institutions in the Czech Republic. Its aim is to identify and describe the key moments that led to the decision to stop placing children under the age of three into institutional care. Infant care institutions have been a topic of extensive discussion in Czech society and politics for a long time. Despite significant criticism, these institutions survived through three different electoral periods. Eventually, they were successfully abolished through an amendment to the Act on Social and Legal Protection of Children in 2021. The thesis delves into the realm of public policy within the Chamber of Deputies and beyond, using Kingdon's multiple streams theory. The research is conducted qualitatively, as it seeks to uncover the crucial moments of agenda-setting, proposal advocacy, and the political decision-making motivations, through the perspectives of four members of parliament who were involved in the entire process, as well as one representative from a non-governmental organization that significantly influenced the course of events. Additionally, the thesis includes analytical work with transcripts and other publicly available political documents. The thesis addresses the question of the uniqueness of the last attempt, setting it apart from...

Working conditions of employees in the selected home for the elderly
Jelínek, Jan ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Tůmová, Kateřina (referee)
This bachelor's thesis investigates working environment of employees of one particular retirement home. The jobs being looked at are as follows - social worker, activation worker and certified nursing assistant. These spots are divided into two groups, the more professional and creative one and the social one. I define the working environments through qualitative semi-structured interviews. To discover the environment in question, it is important to describe the content of the job and the tasks that one doing it is obliged to fulfil, the well-being of the ones doing it and the personal relationships in the workplace. I discover the characteristics of the jobs taking internal regulations, legal definition of the job and interviews into account. Using the workplace wellbeing theory, which consists of five basic dimensions, I describe the working conditions of the jobs in question. Those dimensions are used to examine the aspects that have major influence on the workers' wellbeing. Those are the ones that concern the employees' career ambitions, physical demands on them and the influence they have on their physical state, how the job is socially, how much the workers make for a living and how they fit in their communities. I will study personal ties between employees through the theory of positive...

Hekšová, Tereza ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Kopsa Těšinová, Jolana (referee)
The thesis deals with the issue of the current involvement of peer consultants in the care of mentally ill people in the context of identifying their specific needs. The aim of the thesis is to identify the benefits of employing peer consultants for themselves and for the social and health care system of mental health care. At the same time, the thesis aims to identify possible barriers or challenges that arise in the practice of peer consultant work, as well as in their employment. The author uses the concept of recovery and implementation theory to theoretically and conceptually anchor the thesis. Through the perspective of experts working in the field and peer consultants, the thesis provides a mapping of the benefits of the peer consultant role and an overview of their specific needs. At the same time, the author identifies the existence of significant barriers in the current set-up of the system of peer consultant involvement, which are mainly caused by the legislative non-anchoring of their position. The author concludes with recommendations for the future development of peer consultant involvement.
