KOZINOVÁ, Jaroslava
In bachelor thesis I focused on the perception of the medical assessment service, whose aim is, besides other tasks, also to assess the health condition for the purpose of the care allowance. The aim of the theoretical part is to map the process of assessing health condition of the applicants of the care allowance and in this part, I describe the classification and tasks of the medical assessment service, medical assessors, newly established position as the specialist assistant of the medical assessor, assessment criteria, principles of health assessment and principles of assessing the ability to handle basic living needs. In the third chapter I outlined perceptions, prejudices, stereotypes and mistakes in social perception. The aim of the empirical part is to find out what are the stereotypes and prejudices by applicants of the care allowance. Three hypotheses have been established, which were investigated in the quantitative research by the questioning method, through the semantic differential technique. The selection sample was chosen randomly from the records of received applications for assess the health condition for the purpose of care allowance and was made up of 400 respondents. The return rate of questionnaires was 62 %, so the research sample was composed of 212 respondents. To evaluate the data and verify the hypotheses, statistical methods were used to sort the data for first and second degree. The research confirmed only the hypothesis that applicants for care allowance are not satisfied with the length of assess the health condition. Other 2 hypotheses have been disproved and it has been found out that applicants of the care allowance perceive the medical assessment service rather neutral, as well as they perceive neutral the objectivity of the assessment. The results of the bachelor thesis can be used by the state administrative bodies as an indicator of current perception of the medical assessment service by applicants of the care allowance and can be used in the process of assessing the dependence levels in non-legislative aspects.
