Project of house for indigent and problematic seniors.
LIŠKOVÁ, Kateřina
At present, the whole world has one characteristic feature in common, which is an increasing number of people reaching a high age. In this respect, the Czech Republic is no exception. As a result, the percentage of senior citizens is also steadily increasing. Most of these senior citizens will be threatened by a low income, especially those who live alone. At present there is no statistics that would show the numbers of senior citizens in specific age groups concerning the amount of pensions, and there is no statistics that would show the numbers in territorial units at lower levels than regions. It is surprising that, with the present alarming prognoses of the numbers of senior citizens, statistical data concerning pensions are not analysed in detail. Some of them rank in the group of poor and problematic senior citizens, as a result, for instance, of paying a low social insurance of failing to pay any social insurance at all. It will be necessary to create a network of services for low-income senior citizens that will guarantee their primary needs. The objective of this thesis was to carry out a monitoring of the need of services for low-income senior citizens, and a proposal of a possible provider of these services. The methodological process included a content and secondary data analysis of socio-demographic indicators about the population of senior citizens. The collection of primary data was conducted in the form of a semi-controlled interview with providers of social services for senior citizens. The target set consisted of senior citizens in the administrative area of the municipality with extended authority of České Budějovice, and the set subject to study consisted of providers of social services for senior citizens. The results of my diploma thesis have confirmed that a service for low-income senior citizens in České Budějovice is not available. My diploma thesis will constitute a basis for the Council of the City of České Budějovice when dealing with the questions concerning services for low-income senior citizens.

Satisfaction of the Customers of the Home for the Aged Humpolec with the services rendered.
JAKEŠOVÁ, Lucie
The aim of a research in this graduation work was to find out how the clients of the Home for Seniors in Humpolec are satisfied with providing this social service. The target was mainly to map areas which are considered problematic by the social service users themselves. The Home for Seniors has resides in a building not originally determined for these purposes since 1962. The Home is currently trying, as many other institutions of social services, to comply with social services quality standards in unsuitable architectural conditions. Despite the users themselves gave their satisfaction with providing the social service, the research also resulted in listing a few problem areas. It was mainly the area of public services availability. Major reasons of respondents dissatisfaction in this area were architectural barriers that make their full participation in everyday life impossible. Another problem areas were keeping privacy on users rooms, mainly at moments of carrying on personal hygiene, approachability of sanitary facilities from users rooms, and to a less extent an area of meals or coexistence. I expected areas of meals and accomodations to be the most urgent of the services provided. Although my assumption was wrong, according to the results of the performed research, certain problems in this area may be taken into account. The results of the research also indicate that improvement in the users satisfaction with the services provided would require bigger system changes, that are nowadays unfortunately impossible from many obvious reasons. However, in the future is possible to expect the area of residential social services to undergo transformation in harmony with social services quality standards towards the services of better quality and higher evaluation.

The change in scope of burning-out syndrom prevention in the legislation chanages.
MEDLÍNOVÁ, Eva
Paper covers educational training of social services workers who are supposed to have achieved the prescribed qualifications in compliance with the above-mentioned act, or who are supposed to achieve the respective qualifications by means of the so-called qualifications course for workres engaged in social services. Assisting professions are characterized , in particular, by the fact that persons engaged in them are exposed to a more intense contact with people than other professions are. Performance of such professions is associated with great commitment and responsibility. Therefore, workers engaged in social services are exposed to risk of burnout syndrome development to a higher extent than people working in other professions. This syndrome is experienced most frequently as a feeling of mental, physical and emotional exhaustion and not only does it result in deterioration of the quality of services provided, it has very adverse consequences for a social services worker affected by burnout syndrome as well. The work resulted in finding that no improvement of the Burnout Syndrome Manifestation Inventory score was found and that no influence on attitudes to burnout syndrome on the part of most workers engaged in social services after completion of the qualification course was observable. The workers themselves feel that there is no link between the qualification course and the quality of services provided by them.

Contentment of retirements homes clients with nursing care.
PECHOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor thesis focuses on satisfaction of clients with nursing care in senior citizen homes. The theoretical part of my thesis describes old age and aging, changes in old age, the importance of family support, quality of provided care and also senior citizen homes. In the practical part I have compared two - in terms of size - different senior citizens homes. The main objective was to determine the level of satisfaction of clients in the senior citizen homes with the provided nursing care. Three hypotheses were formulated for the purpose. H1: Clients of the senior citizens homes are satisfied with the nursing care; H2: The size of senior citizen homes affects satisfaction of the clients with the nursing care; and H3: The size of senior citizen homes affects overall satisfaction of the clients. The research used a qualitative survey method with questionnaires. The questionnaire contained 23 questions. Two senior citizens homes were selected to collect data. The first one was a big senior citizens home Máj in České Budějovice, with the capacity of 127 clients, and the second one was a smaller senior citizen home in Kaplice for 54 clients. 50 questionnaires were distributed in each facility, i.e. 100 questionnaires in total. The results have shown that 50% of the clients ranked the nursing care as excellent and 38% as very good. This means that the hypothesis No. 1 has been confirmed. Also the hypothesis No. 2 has been confirmed as clients in the smaller facility had more confidence in the nursing staff as a result of a closer and more personal relationship and therefore they also gave better ranking to the quality of nursing care. The hypothesis No. 3 has not been confirmed. The size of senior citizen homes does not affect the overall satisfaction of the clients. The comparison of results from the questionnaires from the involved facilities has shown that both the homes have their pros and contras. Among the advantages clients from the smaller home mentioned a more personal approach, family atmosphere and sufficiently quiet environment. As a negative they mentioned lack of cultural activities. In the bigger facility the clients praised opportunities to enjoy cultural life but they did not like lack of quiet environment and a less personal approach of the nursing staff.

SÁKOVÁ, Pavlína
The work maps the adaptative process of the clients of the Home for Seniors Hvízdal in České Budějovice. Arrival and adaptation of a senior in an institution present one of the most dangerous life events. Then the systematic work with a client is becoming a very important factor of the quality of life of seniors living in an institution. The rhythm of life in the institution should reflect the individual rhythm of every person in her/his home environment and in her/his previous life. At present, the adaptative process in one of the basic indicators of quality of life in an institution. Concidering the change of act and the newly set up conditions, this appears even to future. The basic indicator of the quality of life in an institution will be the competence of communication with the family of a client, social workers and doctors. The cooperation of these sections will ensure trouble-free adaptation to a new way of life in elderly age. Institutions which will manage this difficult task will be even in future, concidering the quality of service, found adequate.
