Social work with people with Alzheimer's disease
ŠTĚPÁNKOVÁ, Jitka
The thesis concerns mapping and analysing the home-based health care for people affected by Alzheimer's disease and focuses especially on coping with the role of a caregiver. Alzheimer's disease is a serious social and medical topical issue as the number of people suffering from this disease is constantly increasing and our society is yet unable to clearly identify its cause. The thesis is dived into two parts. The theoretical part describes the disease itself, the care about people with Alzheimer's disease, and social work with people suffering from Alzheimer's disease and their families. For the practical part I chose to carry out a research survey conducted through interviews with home carers.

The influence of resilience social support and religiosity on the wellbeing of victims of domestic violence in Accra Ghana
Ahmed, Osman Abdul
ABSTRACT Domestic violence and abuse continue to be an issue of alarming concern for governments and nations across the globe because of the threats that it poses to victims psychologically and physically as well as the family, communities and the nation at large. Although many studies have been done on the subject, these studies focus mainly on the antecedents to abuse and its impact on the victims. Few studies have also focused on the punitive measures and the legal framework around which perpetrators of domestic violence are dealt with less focus on psychological, social and spiritual factors that can improve the wellbeing of victims. It is against this background that this study was conducted to examine the influence of resilience, social support and religiosity on the wellbeing of victims of domestic violence in Accra, Ghana. Using the biopsychosocial and spiritual theory of illness and wellbeing, a cross sectional survey was conducted by purposively sampling 100 victims of domestic violence and abuse (M= 28.57; SD= 5.55) within the period of September and October, 2021. The respondents filled questionnaires that examined resilience, social support, religiosity and psychological wellbeing. Results indicated that resilience (r = -.52, p < .001) has a significant negative relationship with wellbeing while social support (r =.48, p > .001) and religiosity (r = .53, p < .001) has a significant positive relationship with wellbeing. Both social support and religiosity predicted wellbeing in the victims of domestic violence accounting for forty-five percent of the variance in wellbeing scores of the victims (p<0.001, Adj. R2=0.45). It is discussed that psychological support be provided for victims and this support should focus on resiliency training, family and community support and spiritual and religious mindfulness. Limitations of this study are also discussed with recommendations to chart the path for future studies.

Patient's return to normal life after limb amputation
HRDONKOVÁ, Jana
The topic of this bachelor's thesis is the matter of the complex approach to patients who have had a limb amputated, which has a major impact on an individual's living standards. The excellent functionality of the entire team treating the individual is essential in this case, including the timing of follow-up care, so that the limb amputation patient's return to normal life is as easy as possible and the patient is not required to deal with obstacles that could complicate the process when he returns to his home environment. In the introductory chapters, the theoretical part of this paper discusses the history of limb amputation and gives a historic insight into prosthetic treatment compared to the current situation in the field of prosthetics. This is followed by a description of nursing care, with special focus on care of the stump, physiotherapy and, lastly, social support of individuals following limb amputation. Three objectives were determined - 1. To establish how informed limb amputee patients are before being discharged for subsequent care at home, 2. To establish how nurses are involved in the limb amputation patient's return to his home environment, 3. To establish how family members are involved in the process of preparing a patient for normal life before the individual is discharged from the medical facility. The semi-structured interview method was used to obtain answers to research questions for the purpose of achieving these objectives. Limb amputation patients who had returned to their normal lives made up one research sample and nurses from the surgical department made up the second research sample. The research survey revealed that there is a deficiency in the field of providing information to limb amputation patients in order to make their return to their normal lives easier. Patients left hospital with incomplete information about subsequent procedures that would make their return to their normal lives easier, for instance arrangement of compensation aids for patients, information about the possibility of being contacted by social workers and also contact information for services that could help them in this difficult situation. The bachelor's thesis research survey resulted in creation of an information brochure for limb amputation patients.

Basic Income, its features and implementation
Poštulková, Jitka ; Schneider, Ondřej (advisor) ; Vaško, Dan (referee)
This thesis introduces and analyzes the controversial topic of basic income, which have recently received increasing attention of academic, political as well as general community. Definition, origins and history of the theme, current BI discussion, possible alternative and practical implementations of BI are all summarized. The thesis also simulates potential effects of BI scheme adoption in the Czech Republic. Using detailed data on income distribution and estimates of labor elasticities, we estimated a tax rate on earned income that would be necessary to implement to make the BI scheme budget neutral. Our results suggest that such a rate would be much higher than the current compounded tax and social security contribution rates, rendering the BI concept impractical in the Czech Republic. JEL Classification H53, H61, I38 Keywords Basic Income, Social Security, Income Tax, Public Budget Author's e-mail jitka.postulkova@yahoo.com Supervisor's e-mail schneider@fsv.cuni.cz
