Barriers to volunteering in the health and social area
RODKOVÁ, Iveta
The thesis deals with a theme of a professionally guided volunteering which is at present a highly developed, professional, modern and fast growing activity. It is focused particularly on barriers to volunteering in the health and social area. In a theoretical part the author gives attention to information important for a comprehensive view on volunteering, she specifies its legislative embodiment. Next, for example, she introduces a division of voluntary activities from different points of view. Subsequently, she gradually moves in thoughts to characteristics of barriers which the volunteering fumbles with and which make impossible to implement it successfully. She clarifies their manifestations and tries to seek possible solutions. The emphasis is put on the barriers which occur on the side of social and healthcare facilities. The aim of the practical research is to refer to the barriers to volunteering in the health and social area and to offer possibilities of their elimination. Therefore the first objective is to chart the most frequent barriers to volunteering from the side of social and healthcare institutions in the Czech Republic. The second objective, partial, connected with the first one, is to chart opportunities how to overcome the barriers at the organizations which use the volunteers. The thesis offers two views of the issue. It analyses its findings at organizations which does not have any volunteers but also at those ones which already use their services. The research was realised by a quantitative form. The data were collected by means of an interviewing method and a technique of a semi-structured interview. They were analysed graphically and statistically. The results show that there are really a lot of barriers which facilities face in the context of the volunteering. Therefore thanks to particular examples from practice the results are bringing some possible ways how to solve the situation in facilities interested in the volunteering.
