Kravarová, Eva ; Papežová, Hana (advisor) ; Dragomirecká, Eva (referee) ; Stárková, Libuše (referee)
The doctoral dissertation is focused on the evaluation of the effect of bariatric surgery and on identifying the parameters that are related to the patients' satisfaction with the surgery. Telephone survey was used to collect data. 122 bariatric candidates were inquired, 86 of them were operated. The average time after the surgery was 20,2 months. The average weight loss was 26.6 kgs. There was a significant improvement in the monitored domains - physical appearance, general health, self-esteem, marital satisfaction, occupational functioning and social functioning. The negative effects of the surgery (post-surgery vomiting, difficulties in dietary adherence, other complications) were also experienced by significant number of patients. In total, 87% respondents were satisfied with the surgery and 13% were dissatisfied. The chi-square test was used to identify factors influencing subjective satisfaction with the surgery and the results were recorded at 95% and 99% significance levels. The satisfaction is associated with the improvement of general health and self-esteem (p<0.01), physical appearance, marital satisfaction, occupational functioning and social functioning (p<0.05). Less satisfied were patients who had troubles with postoperative dietary adherence and those with an insufficient weight...

(English) This diploma thesis deals with the issue of mental disorders and services provided to family members of people with mental disorder within a non-profit sector. The first part includes theoretical chapters which are processed by analysing available literature. The chapters inform about mental disorder, quality of life, and describe the care of people with mental disorders - particularly social skills and communication, housing, education, employment and leisure time. The theoretical part also focuses on social work with the mentally ill and includes a role of a social worker. In conclusion, the theoretical part describes the possibilities of supporting family members within the system of the care of persons with mental disorder, especially educational and psychoeducational programmes. The empirical part maps the current range of services for family members of people with mental disorder, and in connection with that, it determines what workers consider to be their benefit.

Dragomirecká, Eva ; Srnec, Jan (advisor) ; Kebza, Vladimír (referee) ; Hrachovinová, Tamara (referee)
The aim of this study is to investigate which factors are related to the quality of life of the elderly in the Czech Republic. In the first part of the work we summarized current findings about the ageing, particularly from demographical, sociological and psychopathological perspectives. Farther we discussed the concept of quality of life and research of quality of life in the elderly. In the second research part we analysed data from a representative sample of 325 older adults living in Prague that we collected as a part of the cross-cultural project "The Measurement of Quality of Life in Older Adults and its Relationship to Healthy Ageing". Set of instruments included the quality of life assessments (WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-OLD), the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), The Attitudes to Ageing Questionnaire AAQ and Socio-demographic form. To identify determinants of various aspects of quality of life we ran regression analyses separately for each of the six WHOQOL-OLD and four WHOQOL-BREF dimensions. The strongest predictor across all quality of life dimensions was depression. The results confirm the importance of interventions and programmes promoting psychological well-being and preventing depressing in the elderly.

Hájková, Kateřina ; Havránková, Olga (advisor) ; Dragomirecká, Eva (referee)
This thesis deals with informal (family) carers who provide for the care of an elderly person in their home environment. It focuses on selected moments of crises (motivation, accepting support, financing, impacts) based on the analysis of documents and the author's two-year working experience in this field. The objective of this thesis is to find out how the carers cope with such crises and what strategies they choose in their provision of care. The theoretical part of the thesis defines basic terms related to old age and their values, informal carers and related areas of care, including pre-defined crises. The research part is divided into methodology, in which part the author describes her methods of obtaining data through semi-structured interviews; and into the empiric part, which is based on the statements of the carers interviewed.
