PETRÁKOVÁ, Šárka
Abstract The bachelor thesis deals with the phenomenon of a 24 - hour home care for dependent seniors in Austria. It examines the effects of the presence of a foreign caregiver in the households of seniors on his family members, the seniors themselves and names the current problems of this specific service. The theoretical part of the thesis presents the current possibilities of senior care and providing life in dignity in old age. It is presenting the historical development in the field of engagement of foreign workers. The basic definitions of the terms migrant, commuter and job mobility are dealt with in the chapter devoted to migration. The author discusses the causes and consequences of migration in the care sector. A considerable space of the theoretical part is devoted to the analysis of specific social- legislative framework of 24 - hour home care of foreign caregivers in Austria. To build the theoretical basis of the work, not only Czech available titles, but especially German written scientific literature and professional articles and official documents of the Austrian government has been used as well. The practical part is based on a research survey, specifically a collection of field data in the form of a structured interview with open questions, which provided the essential data. This research took place in the province of Lower Austria, the region called Waldviertel. After a thorough analysis of data outputs and a comparison with the theses in the literature, it was possible to draw a conclusion to evaluate the experience of the presence of a Czech caregiver in Austrian families and identify the current problems of this specific service. The results may serve in practice as a basis for decision-making, either by care clients or by caregivers who are still considering the eventuality of their future profession in Austria.

Opportunities and perspectives of convergence and home care for the elderly
HLOUŠKOVÁ, Lenka
The bachelor's thesis, is focused on the topic of possibilities and perspectives of convergence of home and institutional care for the elderly deals with the identifications of differences between home and institutional care for the elderly and the possibilities of using services that are offered. The theoretical part describes the old age, changes accompanying old age (physical, psychological, social and economic changes), institutional care for the elderly in the context of health and social care and possible adaptation of seniors to institutional care. The last chapter of the theoretical part deals with home care for the elderly, which describes self-sufficiency, the needs of seniors and models of home care. The empirical part is focused on research and obtaining answers to establish research questions, which were different for each group of respondents. The research group consisted of six respondents in institutional care aged 64-87 years, for whom the representation of the clients from the DPS of Home Božice p.o. The second research group consisted of six seniors in home care aged 72 to 89 years. The research set was selected using the snowball method. A qualitative research strategy was chosen for the research, and a semi-structured interview was used as a form of data collection. Categories were created during the interviews, that helped with the evaluation of the data and were conducted using open coding.The operationalisation of basic concepts was based on research questions. The research shows that it is necessary to provide seniors and families caring for the elderly in the home environment with timely information about the possibilities they have and which could help them in this challenging situation. For some, the information could ensure a more extended stay in home care or speed up entry to a specific facility, where the senior would be appropriately taken cared for. A greater degree of informants could then be reflected in the possibilities of converging home and institutional care in which I see a possible perspective. The bachelor's thesis will serve as feedback for the Božice p.o Home - Home for the Elderly, where the research was realized with the written consent of the director. The results of the research will be used to identify home and institutional care for the elderly and their possible perspective of convergence.

Problematics of transferring the patient onto home artificial pulmonary ventilation
HRBKOVÁ, Lenka
Home artificial lung ventilation (DUPV) is very current topic these days. It provides great hope for the possible return of a patient permanently dependent on artificial lung ventilation back to the home environment. Due to injuries or the development of the disease, some patients are permanently dependent on the support of artificial lung ventilation (UPV). Staying at home with the support of DUPV brings many benefits for these patients. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis is divided into six parts. The first part is devoted to a historical view of the development of artificial lung ventilation. The second part describes the respiratory system. The third part is devoted to artificial lung ventilation, where in the subchapters the indications for connection to UPV, physiological goals, clinical goals and also the subsequent intensive care are analyzed in more detail. The third part comprehensively describes DUPV. The subchapters are devoted to indications for connecting the patient to DUPV, there are described organizations dealing with DUPV. It describes the application for the implementation of DUPV, preparation before the patient goes home, provided nursing care and equipment and medical supplies necessary for implementation. The fourth part focuses on an overview of social benefits and the fifth part on the implementation. Two goals were set for the diploma thesis: 1. To find out, with what problems, including artificial nursing care, do patients face with artificial lung ventilation. 2. Identify what problems, including nursing care, patients experience with home artificial lung ventilation. To meet the objectives, three research questions were created: 1. What problems, including nursing care, occur to patients dependent on artificial lung ventilation in the Follow-up Intensive Care unit? 2. What problems, including nursing care, occur to patients dependent on home artificial lung ventilation? 3. What are the changes in the quality of life and nursing care of patients dependent on ventilator in the hospital and patients dependent on ventilator at home? The empirical part of the diploma thesis is processed in the form of a qualitative research survey. The method of semi-structured interview with NIP general nurses of an unnamed district hospital, caregivers and patients at DUPV was chosen. The method of self-observation and examination of decurses was also used. The interviews were conducted on the basis of pre-arranged questions with four nurses, three caregivers and three patients. The "pencil and paper" method and the open coding method were used to analyze the interviews. For grater clarity, the categories and subcategories were visualized in graphic diagrams. They were also used to compile three case studies. The results of the research survey show that general nurses deal with nursing care, respiratory care and also listen appropriately to the needs of patients. The most common problem that was mentioned was the implementation of personal hygiene, due to the mental and physical dufficulty for patients. Furthermore, problems with defecation, immobility and problems with gestures and communication. An unpleasant problem was also the irritation of the airways during suction. Patients 'and carers' responses show that the most common problem is dependence on the carer for personal hygiene and excretion. Also problems with falling asleep. Social isolation and deteriorated possibility of communication are also problems. A change in the quality of life and nursing care of UPV-dependent and DUPV-dependent patients at home was also found. The answer to this question is that a hospital stay is physically and mentally demanding. It has been said that being at home is real luck. The opportunity to be with family and be able to do everything by yourself. I believe that the work could serve to improve the awareness of family members of patients at DUPV. The work could be used to collaborate in a GAIA grant project.

The analysis of these dialogues showed that the most immense stress for a caregiver is to take care of a person with behavioural and perception disorders with whom it is hard to communicate. Caregivers who take care of such a person alone are under an even greater...
