The research part, preceded by a preliminary study, was conducted by means of a quantitative questionnaire survey. The basic research group consisted of persons from the general public living in South Bohemia. In the end, two out of three hypotheses were conformed. They are: (1) health care in South Bohemia was perceived positively by the clients of healthcare facilities and (2) women perceive health care in South Bohemia more critically than men. The third hypothesis, the one that was not confirmed, showed that the clients of healthcare facilities in South Bohemia have not noticed any improvement of health care during the last five years. With regard to the outcome of the third hypothesis, a question can be brought forward as to whether health care is developing in the right direction. Therefore, it would be appropriate to pay more attention to this issue. The results can be published in professional journals and they can serve as inspiration for healthcare professionals. They may also contribute to public awareness of health care and health services in South Bohemia.

KRÁTKÁ, Edita
The bachelor{\crq}s thesis is focused on the family and its functionality. The family functionality was verified based on the Family APGAR questionnaire elaborated by Gabriel Smilkstein in 1978. The name of the questionnaire consists of the initial letters of the words: Adaptability, Partnership, Growth, Affection and Reslove. The target of the work was to find out, if and in what way it is possible to use the Family APGAR questionnaire for the evaluation of the functionality of the family living in the municipality up to 1000 inhabitants. The contents of the initial hypothesis said that the APGAR Family questionnaire is usable for the evaluation of the functionality of the family living in the municipality up to 1000 inhabitants. The theoretical part of the thesis explains the concept of family and states its definition. Moreover the thesis informs about the historical development of the family since the ancient times. It tries to inform of the development cycles of the family from meeting partners up to the moment when children leave the family. It explains also the basic functions of the family, i.e. the biologically-reproductive function, economic and securing, emotional and last but not least the socializing and educational function. This analysis is supplemented by the split of defects of family and their causes. Moreover the data to the functional and not functional family are stated. The chapter of the present Czech family clarifies the situation and trends in Czech families. In the theoretical part, moreover the contribution and influence of the family on the child and of the child on the family are described. Last but not least the thesis shows the factors of both parents influencing the education of the child. The practical part verifies the reliability of the Family APGAR questionnaire for the determination of the functionality of the family. The data were acquired by the quantitative research. This research was performed by the method of questioning when the technique of the standardized (controlled) interview was applied. The complex of 33 respondents aged from 12 to 18 years was collected by the accidental choice with the aid of the contact from friends. The municipality up to thousand inhabitants where the respondents are living, is in Strakonice region. The research refuted the initial hypotheses; the Family APGAR questionnaire is not a sufficient measure for evaluating the functionality of the family living in the municipality up to 1000 inhabitants.
