Quality of Life of Children in Children's Home
DOLEŽALOVÁ, Nina
The bachelor's thesis deals with the issue of the quality of life of children in children's homes. The quality of life of children in children's homes is often overlooked, and the focus is mainly on preparing children for leaving children's homes or ensuring their material security, even though the quality of life of children can affect their entire lives. The theoretical part of the bachelor's thesis captures the issue of institutional care, its history, and current state in the Czech Republic, as well as the issue of the quality of life. The aim of the practical part was to find out the quality of life of children in children's homes in selected regions. The implementation of the research took place in the Pilsen and South Bohemia regions and involved 34 respondents. To fulfill this goal, quantitative research and a query method were chosen, which was implemented using an anonymous standardized questionnaire PedsQL and a questionnaire created specifically for this purpose. The data was evaluated in MS Excel and recorded using descriptive techniques in graphs and tables. A data matrix was created in MS Excel and evaluated using IBM SPSS Statistics version 24. Pearson's correlation was used to test the hypotheses. In the bachelor thesis two hypotheses were set. Hypothesis 1 examined the influence of age on negative emotions of children in children's homes. The results showed that age does indeed influence the emotional evaluation of children, and thus the hypothesis was confirmed. Hypothesis 2 examined the influence of the length of children's stay in children's homes on the quality of life according to PedsQL. According to the results, the hypothesis was not confirmed. The bachelor's thesis can serve as a basis for further research on the quality of life of children in children's homes. Based on the data obtained, the bachelor's thesis can be used as a study material for strategic planning aimed at improving the quality of life for children.
