The theoretical part characterizes disability in details and defines it according to the International Classification of Functioning, Dissability and Health (ICF). Further on, it deals with the term of sexuality and sexual education within disabled people. Sexual and intimate assistance is also discussed in this bachelor´s thesis. Consequently, it identifies what does a sexual assistant do and what rules to know and keep. The research was carried out by means of qualitative research strategy such as questioning and semi-structured interview. The analyzed data were recorded into charts. For the purposes of this bachelor´s thesis eight students from South Bohemia Region were chosen coincidentally. This study was motivated by the following research question: What are the differences in attitudes of chosen people on sexuality of disabled people? The results showed that the majority of questioned students were informed about what disability means. A lot of respondents agreed that disabled people have a sexual life, however, it differs from the kind and degree of disability. Student´s opinion on the question of maternity and parenthood was also influenced by the kind and degree of disability. A lot of respondents didn´t have any problems with the fact that disabled people can be parents. The fundamental difference in opinions of chosen students was pointed out when questioning the issue of sexual assistance. Some respondents associated this service with prostitution or with something what shouldn´t appear in our society. Sexual assistance is really topical nowadays, however, there are still people who know nothing about it and therefore additional examination and promotion of this issue is crucial.

Faltysová, Kateřina ; Vrabcová, Jana (advisor) ; Růžková, Jiřina (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to clarify the concept of Healthy Life Years. This concept is based on summary measures of population health which are able to quantify health. However, the main goal of the thesis is to discover which morbidity scenarios fit the selected countries. The thesis contains analysis of Life Expectancy and Healthy Life Years conducted by the time indexes for newborns and population aged 65 in the Czech Republic. The results of this fit the morbidity compression theory. This analysis is also done for Estonia and Luxemburg, which are representing the best and the worst countries in 28 countries of European Union in Healthy Life Years. Both of these countries fit to the morbidity expansion theory. Moreover, these countries are compared by Better Life Index, which is initiated by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, which determines that health of the population is influenced by more dimensions of life.

Both of the set assumptions, after detailed research and summarization of the available data were confirmed.

Persons with disabilities reproduce in the Czech Republic on the basis of reasonable estimates, a significant group of citizens (10% of population, of which 0.6% are persons with visual disabilities. Integration is a long/two-way process, playing an important role in many dimensions of human life. When it is necessary to take into account the individuality of each person, trying to understand the rules and are paying them to the behavior, it is important mutual communication skills and awareness of the presence of barriers to integration. In the Czech Republic the whole care for people with disabilities falls into a comprehensive rehabilitation. Over the last 20 years in the Czech Republic focused public attention (state bodies and institutions) to improve the living conditions of persons with disabilities. Attitude State and public authorities, to regulate these individuals significantly, the National plans establishing the most important tasks and measures for different sectors of government. Despite these measures, however, figure in activities of daily living for persons with disabilities discriminatory pressures are particularly evident in the long-term disregard or ignorance of basic and fundamental differences that define this group of person.

With mental disabilities in institutional Sexual problems of clients facilities
PATEROVÁ, Michaela
Sexuality of persons with mental disability has represented a social taboo until recent times. Issues related to this topic attracted my attention so much, that I decided to obtain further information through my bachelor thesis. Bachelor thesis contains theoretical part and practical part. The theoretical part contains three chapters. In the first chapter, I explore mental disabilities. In this chapter, I also focused on etiology and causes of mental disability. In the next chapter, I focused on dealing with the term the individual with mental retardation. The term disability is described there, and it is understood as a term covering the area of functional disorders, activities and participations of specific individual. In the next section I introduce sexual issues of persons with mental disability. First topic is the education and awareness for persons with mental disabilities. In addition, I dealt with sexual abuse of persons with mental disability. Sexuality is closely linked with partner relationships, which I also mention in my thesis. In conclusion of the theoretical part I dealt with parenthood and possibilities of protection against conception. The practical part of the bachelor thesis consists of the data collection while using qualitative research techniques with the method of unstandardized in-depth interviews. The basic complex was created by parameters of the enshrined theory, when not all parameters were used according to its comprehensiveness. I set the basic research complex according to positions of the staff of the Social Service Center in Jindřichův Hradec. Two research questions were raised. Whether the staff perceives sexual life of persons with mental disability as suitable and whether the information of the professional staff about sexual life of persons with mental disability are sufficient. On the basis of the research it was found that the professional staff has sufficient amount of information, but the sexual education and training in the institution does not take place at all. Interviews showed that employees do not feel being sufficiently competent in matters of sexual education and awareness. The interviews further revealed that the employees agree with partnerships of persons with mental disability. From the interviews it was also found that they agree with the use of contraception in case that the client starts living sexual life with her partner. In addition, I found out that the majority of respondents rather do not agree with the parenthood of persons with mental disability. Regarding the issue of sexual abuse of persons with mental disability, I found out during the interview that this problem was once solved in the institution. Employees aware that these people are an easy victim, but at the same time they do not undertake any prevention in the form of sexual education. These findings show that it would be appropriate to encourage establishing the protocol, in which there would be enshrined sexual issues of users of social services provided by this institution. The protocol could also serve to the purpose of prevention of sexual abuse. Professional training focused on communication between the staff and the user in the field of sexual education would be also appropriate.
