I try map benefits and negatives, which lies in group work with elderly in residential facilities, by means this bachelor´s thesis. There are different views on status of elderly in today society. One view states, that young generation seen elderly person like somebody unnecessary, useless, who burdens society and it often leads to placement elderly to residential facilities, where they almost spend rest of their life. The second view states, that exist families, who care about their elderly till the last moment. They often use services of day care and try to take care about their elderly of all forces and they place him/her into the residential facilities in extreme case, when they have not another choice. It is understandable that the best home for seniors with offer of services and supportive care can not compensate real home, love and care of relationships. There are offered series of activities which help to elderly people to spend their meaningful leisure time., but not everybody have strength or interest in participation. There is important motivation of social workers in the facilities which offered these activities. There are often used group activities in residential facilities, which I maped in bachelor´s thesis and introduce practice knowledge at work with elderly. Bachelor´s thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter is aimed to knowledge of aging and old age.

MÁTLOVÁ, Monika
Abstract The Czech Republic is one of the states where the occurrence of colorectal cancer is very high, we are the leading state in Europe. 8 new occurrences come up every year and 5000 patients die of colorectal cancer each year. In spite of progress in surgical treatment applying new methods, temporary or permanent stoma is being created. Nursing stoma patients and the extent of the care is so specialized that a qualified expert, called stoma nurse is required. This paper deals with the ``position of stoma nurse in the Czech Republic{\crqq}. The paper aims at describing the position of the stoma nurse in the Czech Republic, to determine the position of the stoma nurse in medical institutions and find out about the competences and conditions stoma nurses have for carrying out their specialization and to find out about the specialized education stoma nurses must have. To fulfill this goal a quantitative survey was applied by means of a structured interview with 30 open questions. 6 stoma nurses took part in the survey. The interviews were written down in a anonymous record, authorized by the stoma nurses. The analysis of the interview was carried out by means of tables. The analysis has shown that the majority of stoma nurses carry out their specialization as their main workload. In medical institutions where the nurses do not carry out this specialization as main workload, more nurses work in parallel in the capacity of stoma nurse. The nurses do not have appropriate conditions to carry out their specialization. They lack appropriate premises, a clearly described duties and competences. However cooperation in a multidisciplinary team runs well. Education and training of stoma nurses is done by means of courses organized by particular medical firms. Stoma nurses improve their knowledge in courses and seminars.
