Monschizadeh-Tehrany, Lenka ; Janečková, Hana (advisor) ; Kubalčíková, Kateřina (referee) ; Vacková, Jitka (referee)
This dissertation presents a description of the concept of the formal caregiver's burden (for the purposes of this thesis it is the profession of a professional caregiver in direct care in a nursing home) and their possible measurement through the chosen theoretical and methodological tools.

Data analysis yielded validation and reliability of the PCTB scale, which was one of partial goals of the...
