The Options of Activation in the Clients of an Old People´s Home in the Tábor Region
MICÁKOVÁ, Vladimíra
My baccalaureate work deals with the topic ``The Options of Activation in the Clients of an Old People´s Home in the Tábor Region{\crqq}. Demographic studies have shown a rapid increase in the numbers of old people in society, and, as a result of this fact, the numbers of senior citizens accommodated in old people´s homes have grown, too. It is essential to improve the quality of provided services in these institutions so that senior citizens get the opportunity to develop leisure time activities in compliance with their interests, to be engaged in these activities in accordance with their abilities and, finally, not to lose the sense of a meaningful life. One of the options how to achieve the above goals, at least partially, is the individual approach of the staff as well as well-designed activations programmes, which will increase the quality of life of clients. The objective of my work has been to monitor the activation options in selected institutions of the Tábor Region in the Old People´s Home Tep based in Veselí nad Lužnící and in the Senior Home located in Soběslav. The qualitative research approach was selected. The first method used was the SWOT analysis describing strong and weak sides, opportunities and risks of activation programmes in these institutions. A partial goal consisted in comparing the offered activities with the individual clients´ interests and achieved rate of satisfaction. For comparison purposes the method of semi-controlled interviews with clients and staff was applied. 20 clients and 5 staff members from each institution were selected by random choice.The research results suggest that the objectives of my baccalaureate work have been fulfilled. The research has shown that a suitable selection of an activation programme based on the individual needs and wishes of the clients results in the feeling of happiness, satisfaction and a meaningful life. At the same time, the physical and psychic condition of the client can be improved. The results of my baccalaureate work provide a more detailed information and survey on activation programmes rendered in accommodation institutions for senior citizens. They can also serve as a feedback for the needs of staff in these institutions in terms of the evaluation of the satisfaction of clients with offered activities.

The first aim was to investigate if there was some memory training (i.e. which forms were applied, how often, what kind of education the persons conducting this form of activation had achieved) in rest homes in Strakonice District. The second aim was to find out how beneficial the memory training was from the point of view of senior people as well as from the point of view of workers carrying out memory training in old people's homes. The research was done in the Rest Home for Seniors in Blatná, in the Home of Restful Old Age of St. Anna in Sousedovice, in the Home for Seniors in Strakonice - Jezárky, in the Home for Seniors in Strakonice - Lidická and In the Home for Seniors in Vodňany. To get the necessary information I have chosen a semi-controlled interview, i.e. qualitative research. The research group consisted of 32 seniors participating in memory training courses and the other one of 7 memory trainers conducting memory training sessions in the homes for seniors in Strakonice District. The results of the research have been processed in the form of a case study.

Nursing process in seniors suffering from pain
HÁKOVÁ, Eva
Abstract Ageing is an irreversible and nonrecurring biological process. Old age is the final stage of life. It is characterized by involutional and mental changes. Ageing has a significent impact on the social status of a person. The typical attribute of old age is polymorbidity. The aged often suffer from chronic ailment that go together with pains. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage. Nociception is the physiological event that is accompanied by pain. Nonpharmaceutical therapies affect human mind and thus help to ease pain. These techniques enhance the quality of life and make life more comfortable. The aim of my thesis was to make a survey of nonpharmaceutical inhibition of perception of pain at the nursing process in seniors staying at retirement homes or nursing homes. Using a method of questionnaires as a quantitative research, I focused on the question of using alternative, nonpharmaceutical method of pain management after the previous assessment of a patient´s condition. To different medical care facilities, 120 questionnaires were handed out. The 85 questionnaires that were filled in correctly were used for evaluation . The respondents were selected at random {--} 41 nurses from homes for seniors and 44 nurses working in long-term care facilities. From the Hvizdal retirement home I received only 13 questionnares I could assess and from the Maj retirement home only 16 nurses handed in the questionnaires filled in correctly. I was given 12 correctly filled questionnaires from the retirement home in Jicin and 28 from the Gerontcentre in Hostinne. The total number of 85 correctly filled questionnaires is completed by those 16 from nurses working in the long-term care facility in Lomnice nad Popelkou. The objective of my thesis has been achieved. The hypothesis H I {--} nurses working with seniors in medical care facilites use nonpharmaceutical therapies after the previous assessment of a patient´s condition {--} was confirmed. The hypothesis H II {--} nurses use nonphamaceutical therapies without the previous assessment of a patient´s condition {--}was not confirmed.

Implementation of service quality standards in the House for seniors.
SEDLÁKOVÁ, Šárka
The aim of my Bachelor´s work has been to find out the ways which were used for implementing new quality standards into social services, learn more about the opinions of the direct care workers on this implementation, and finally find the conditions for performing the standards in the Retirement Home in Humpolec. At the beginning there were two hypotheses stated: H1) The direct care staff of the Retirement Home suppose that the quality standards of social services will improve the care of their clients. H2) The quality standards of social services will improve the proficiency in direct care services. A method of quantitative research, interviewing, and the technique of guided interview was used for collecting information and validating the hypotheses. The technique is based on the set of questions in a given sequence with variants of answers. Chosen staff members of the Retirement Home in Humpolec were interviewed in July and August 2009. I chose 42 out of 52 total direct care staff. Thirty workers were engaged in the guided interviews, ten workers refused it and two workers were on sick leave at that time. The interviewees were also asked 7 semi-opened questions. My survey has shown that the quality standards of social services can improve the quality of social care services and protect the rights of the clients. Staff should find the way how to use these standards for the benefit of social services clients. It means, for example, that the workers will be professionally trained and will be acquainted with the new standards and their implementation to the care in the social services facilities. The findings of the Bachelor´s work may help implement the standards in the Retirement Home in Humpolec, eliminate imperfection in staff training, improve staff awareness of the quality standards and consequently result into higher proficiency of the direct care staff.

The need of lifelong education health care workers for assuring the nursing care in residential homes
MARTINOVSKÁ, Jaroslava
This paper is concerned with life-long learning during nursing practice in retirement homes. New advancements in the medical field foster the need for continual improvement of knowledge of nurses who work in these homes. Nurses play essential role in these institutions, and that is why they, their opinions, and their options have been chosen as a target for research. Theoretical part of this paper has been concerned with overall characteristics of the nursing profession; developments in nurse's education; characteristics and needs of aged people; and overall nurse-client relationship in retirement homes. The goal of the research was to find out opinions about, and options of life-long learning of medical workers in these institutions. Before the actual research, two hypotheses have been stated: H1 - retirement-home nursing staff must be educated on continuous basis; and H2 - retirement-homes do not offer such education. The actual research has been carried out through questionnaires, and standardised interviews. The research has revealed that the nursing staff is in need of life-long learning, and that retirement home institutions are satisfied with this fact, and support their nurses in the pursuit for education. Thus, hypothesis 1 has been confirmed; hypothesis 2 has not been confirmed. Based on the conclusive evidence of this research, some improvements have been proposed to nurses, and to management staff in the relevant retirement-homes.
