Respiratory Care for Individuals Who Take Care of Family Members With Disabilities in the Region.
SUCHANOVÁ, Michaela
Handicap is not a stressful situation for the affected individual only, but also for the people around providing service. The bachelor thesis focuses on the topic of respite care for individuals taking care of their handicapped family in a given region. The objective of this thesis is to describe the availability of respite services in the Sedlčany region, and to find out about specific experience of families who use respite care in the Stéblo facility in Borotice. The theoretical part relies on the study of expert literature related to the given topic. It focuses mainly on respite care and its objective, history, activity and different forms. The following chapter describes types of handicap and its impact on mental severity of the family taking care of a handicapped member. To process the practical part of the bachelor thesis I chose the qualitative research strategy and semi-structured interview methodology. The research file consisted of a social worker from the Stéblo non-profit organization, and families making use of respite care within the facility. The social-worker interview consisted of 10 basic questions, and the family interview consisted of 8 questions and some follow-up questions as needed. The research result proved that families were generally very happy with the respite care in the facility. Mainly they praised the qualified staff, on the other hand they complained about the service waiting time. Service availability at the moment is sufficient. Nevertheless, they have agreed that it is mainly due to the help of other family members. If they could use respite care more often, they would so they had more free time to themselves. Within the facility, they have a choice of field or residential form of respite care. The bachelor thesis may serve as a source of information for families with handicapped members who might be interested in making use of this service in Sedlčany region, or for individuals acting in this area of social work.
