Siblings and their relationships in children's home
HOJKOVÁ, Ráchel
This bachelor thesis, titled "Siblings and their relationships in children's home," is primarily focused on emphasizing the importance of working with siblings. The main goal of the thesis is to explore how caregivers, who spend time with these children and influence them in certain ways, perceive this topic. It aims to determine whether caregivers actively work with the children or if they do not feel the need to support their relationship. Another objective was to ascertain whether caregivers perceive that siblings influence each other and how this influence manifests. We also investigated the prevalence of sibling relationships in children's homes. The main research question posed and answered in the thesis is: Do caregivers in children's homes work on fostering sibling relationships? The research was conducted through qualitative methods, employing semi-structured interviews with caregivers from children's homes with extensive experience. Transcripts of the interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis, supplemented by open coding due to the abundance of content in the text. Emphasizing the importance of working with sibling relationships is one of the contributions of this thesis. Insights from this thesis can be utilized to improve the work of caregivers and other staff in children's homes. Since caregivers in children's homes influence the children placed there, it is essential to pay attention to their approaches towards the children. Information from the bachelor thesis should be integrated into specific practices in institutional care, while ensuring the best interests of the children themselves are kept in mind.

Christmas in Children's Home
KOSTRHOUNOVÁ, Eliška
The bachelor thesis deals with Christmas in children's homes. The theoretical part introduces the children's homes in more detail and also takes into account the factors that influence the experience of a child who is placed in institutional care. It also describes the traditions, holidays and symbols that are part of Advent and Christmas in the Czech Republic. The research part was developed through semi-structured interviews with staff of children's homes. The aim was to find out the following: What specific traditions do children's homes observe? How does the staff communicate with the children about the existence of Christ Child? Is there increased contact with the family? Whether children go home for Christmas? What is the course of Christmas Eve? What organizations provide gifts to the orphanages? It appears that the teaching staff make an effort to ensure that the children are not deprived of anything during Advent and Christmas. In the children's homes, various traditions are observed, the homes are decorated and presents are brought, as in the most families, by Christ Child. The only difference is when the festive dinner takes place. Due to some children going home, Christmas is celebrated 2 times. Gifts to the orphanages are provided by many organizations, but also by individuals. The work is beneficial to a wide range of readers and offers a partially different perspective on the celebration of holidays that most people experience within the family circle.

The attitude of educators in children's homes at the end of their career
MIŇOVSKÁ VOCŮ, Hana
The aim of the work is to describe how educators at the end of their professional career perceive their work in a children's home. For this purpose, the principles of substitute care, especially the forms of institutional education, were described in the theoretical part. With regard to the target group of female informants, a separate sub-chapter was dedicated to the children's home. Because institutional education cannot fully replace family education, attention was also paid to the risks of institutional education, especially the psychological deprivation that children from orphanages are often exposed to. In the following subchapters, the specifics of the educator's work in a children's home and his risk of stress, which can be one of the many factors of burnout syndrome, were described. Therefore, attention was also paid to prevention. The creative part is processed in the form of a qualitative approach. Data obtained from semi-structured interviews were analyzed and then interpreted through open coding.

Power in the Helping Professions. Power in the Helping Professions with regard to the Specific Environment of a Czech Orphanage.
Balická, Kateřina ; Ulrichová, Monika (advisor) ; Hudcová, Eliška (referee)
1 Abstract The aim of the thesis 'Power in the Helping Professions' is to describe the specifics of power in the relationship between the helping party and the recipient of the help. The work presents possible theoretical concepts through which we are able to analyse power relationships within helping professions. Furthermore, the thesis highlights the theory of the dependency triangle. The theory can be used to better understand the relationships in which power is used to meet the needs of the 'more powerful' party in the relationship. In the second part of the thesis, the issue of power is embedded in the orphanage setting and, in the educator-child relationship in the orphanage. This part offers an application of the dependency triangle concept for the purpose of power positions and power relationships reflection among the helping professions.
