HÁNOVÁ, Jana
Activation of elderly people as a part of the nursing care The activation is the process through which people, individuals or groups are stimulated to be active. The activation should be as natural as possible, and should copy routines of daily life as much as possible. The activation of the elderly people is a part of the prevention of the occurrence of diseases, accidents and injuries and the maintenance of functional capacity and self-care ability. Nursing activation care is the care which supports self-care ability of an elderly person and is characterized by the fact that this care gets the elderly person and his or her family to cooperate. A part of daily work of the nurse is to assess the level of self-care of the elderly person and to set up a nursing care plan. The nurses working with the elderly people shall embrace learning in this field as a lifelong process and shall be applying the acquired knowledge in their work. The objective of this study was to find out whether the nurses are looking for the areas to activate the elderly people and to discover whether the nurses include the activation into their nursing plans of the care for the elderly people. The study sets an objective to map how the nurses perceive the activation and what ways of the activation they know and apply. The last objective was to identify the way the professor Böhm´s model is applied in practice. All data were acquired by means of a qualitative research, and the interviews were conducted with the nurses and the elderly, namely in the long-term care unit and in the home for elderly people. The research revealed how the data are acquired from the elderly and how they are integrated into the nursing plans. The study also identified the ways of the activation of the elderly, the nurses focus on physical and physical activation of the elderly. Generally, the nurses perceive the activation very positively, and despite difficulties such as shortage of staff and time, they implement the activation in different quality. The research also detected that the Böhm´s model is applied minimally, and the nurses have not met with this model yet. The results of the study can be used by the management personnel, but also by the nurses who work with the elderly people directly.

STRATEGY OF CARE WITH DEMENTIAL PROBLEMS AT A SPECIALIZED DEPARTMENT OF CARE UNIT AT KOBYLISY SENIOR HOME
LELÁKOVÁ, Dagmar
In my bachelor´s thesis I focus on the efficiency of the working methods of the personnel in the integration of activization programs and in the development of predispositions and abilities of individual clients with dementia at the Department of Specialized Care for People with Dementia, hic his a part of the Home for the Elderly, Prague-Kobylisy. In the theoretical part I explain the notion of dementia, describing the types of dementia, its manifestations, stadia and therapeutical methods. Furthermore, I describe the principles of communication with persons stricken by this disease, the evaluation of cognitive and functional abilities of afflicted people, needs of the personnel, activities and therapeutical methods used in the institutional care. The practical part relied on the qualitative research. Techniques applied for data gathering included concerned and unconcerned observation, interview and case studies. The secondary data analysis served as an auxiliary method. The central criteria applied in the selection of CASE was dementia and the terminated adaptation period. For the present research there were selected altogether 20 respondents aged 63 - 97 years afflicted by dementia of various types and in different stages of development. Out of the selected group of 20 respondents 6 persons were chosen for detailed case studies. The central objective of the work was to find out whether this group of clients with dementia can really benefit from the working methods applied at this particular specialized department. The target no. 2 was to find out whether the applied methods contribute to the longest possible preservation of self-sufficiency of clients with dementia. The target no. 3 was to convince family members to maximally collaborate with the personnel. In my view, the targets no. 1 and 3 were fully accomplished. The accomplishment of target no. 2 is relative and differs in individual CASE since the self-sufficiency of respondents gradually diminishes depending on their aging and disease advancement. Persons stricken by dementia are unable to take care of themselves, they have problems in expressing themselves, as if living in their own world, however, they do have their own needs, experiences and joys. These needs can be met by a caring family. However, the strength of the family is limited and very often it happens that the family is totally exhausted and unable to take care of the client. At that point it is necessary to provide institutional care by trained personnel that would ensure clients with dementia a kind and secure atmosphere.

My observations lasted seven months; they took place once a week for 45 minutes. All the clients volunteered in the exercise activities. The research group consisted of the clients of the Home for Senior Citizens and the Home with Special Regimen in Kobylisy. The theoretical part provides the explanations of old age, dementia and its manifestations, the importance of exercise for seniors, and I also introduce the Taoist Tai Chi Society. The last section is devoted to Taoist movements and their effects on the human organism. The practical part describes the individual tai chi movements, the principles of practicing Taoist tai chi and I answer research questions. The objective of the thesis was to learn whether tai chi exercise affects in some way the physical condition of the facility?s clients and whether it is beneficial for these clients. To obtain the results, I chose a qualitative research. The methods and techniques of data collection are based on participating observation, interviews and data analysis. The research group consisted of the clients of the Home for Senior Citizens and the Home with Special Regimen in Kobylisy. I focused on the ways Taoist tai chi influenced the physical and mental welfare of the clients. Semi-controlled interviews were conducted with clients without dementia. The target group consisted of six clients without dementia syndrome, and 6 seniors with the disease. The total number of 30 clients participated in the exercises. The results were processed in the form of a case study. The research shows that the seniors experienced improvements in joint and muscle mobility and the exercises usually affected their mood in a positive way. Better coordination could not be fully demonstrated for all movements. Based on the information obtained and the research results reached, the thesis will be beneficial for the Taoist Tai Chi Society and the homes for senior citizens in Kobylisy.
