Health and social services in carehome for elderly people in Linz Austria
KŘENKOVÁ, Vladimíra
The thesis deals with the level of health and social services provided in a home for the elderly in the town of Linz in Austria and further with the comments on their provision. In the theoretical part, the basic knowledge and assumptions for the provision of care to the elderly are described along with an analysis of important areas of the problematic of aging and old-age as a phenomenon. I described here also the conditions for providing social services in a particular facility. In the empiric part of this thesis, the research result, the set goals, hypotheses and discussion on the theme related to the problematic of my work are worked out. The aim of the thesis was to find out the conditions for providing health and social services in the home for the elderly, to find out satisfaction of the clients in the particular facility and opinions of the facility´s staff on the quality and extent of the care provided to the elderly. In connection with the aim of this thesis, hypotheses concerning satisfaction of the clients with the care of own person have been set. Further on, concerning satisfaction with the offer of social-therapeutic services. The third hypothesis related to the staff´s opinion on social- therapeutic services in the home. The last hypothesis was related to satisfaction of the staff with further education of the staff within the home for the elderly. While the first two hypothesizes that assumed satisfaction of the clients of the home for the elderly were confirmed, the hypothesis setting up the assumption that the home´s staff will evaluate the quality of the social-therapeutic services positively was not confirmed. The last hypothesis that the staff, according to their opinion, has good conditions for further education within the home for the elderly was then also confirmed. I used quantitative research in my thesis. Questionnaires were chosen as the data collection technique. The questionnaires results are then assessed in the text and in the graphs. I think that the goal I have chosen in my thesis was fulfilled, according to my opinion and this thesis can be used as a demonstration of care provided to the elderly abroad. The thesis can be also used as inspirational material for the social care providers for the elderly in this country.
