The Need for Further Specialized Education of Social Workers
BABICKÁ, Veronika
Further education is an integral part of the performance of social workers. This thesis aims to map the attitude of social workers towards the need for further education within the specialization. This bachelor thesis uses a qualitative research strategy and the questioning method for data collection, i.e., a semi-structured interview. We used an open-coding process for data assessment. After the open coding process, we created the categories. The research sample consisted of social workers practicing in a relief service primarily designated for people with mental disabilities or those with combined disabilities where mental disability appears as associated health impairment, within the South Bohemian region. The research showed that all communication partners were supported in further education in at least the statutory 24 hours of further compulsory education per year. The importance of educational activities is perceived primarily in up-to-date information, establishing new contacts, personal development, and increasing the quality of the services or mental hygiene. Social workers' most frequently completed educational activities working with mentally disabled adults in the relief service include the Sexuality of people with disabilities or Restrictive measures and education focused on communication with clients. The research results provide insight into the further education of social workers and can serve as feedback to the organizations where the research was conducted.

HRÁDKOVÁ, Denisa
The bachelor thesis is titled "Care for patient with mental disabilities from the perspective of healthcare worker in a social care facility". The first aim was to map the application of healthcare workers' competencies within social facilities. The second aim was to identify the needs of patients with mental disabilities in a selected social facility. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and an empirical part. In the theoretical part, the definition, etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and degrees of mental disability are described. This part also includes the bio-psycho-social-spiritual needs of patients and addresses the provision of healthcare, the duties of healthcare personnel, and the social facility itself. The empirical part was processed through qualitative research using semi-structured interviews. The research sample consisted of nine nurses working in selected social facilities. To achieve the set objectives, seven research questions were created. In the qualitative research investigation of this bachelor thesis, it was found that nurses in social facilities do not have the competence to perform intravenous therapy. Their competencies are applied in administering oral medications and wound care. Furthermore, from the conducted interviews with the nurses, it was revealed that all of the bio-psycho-social-spiritual needs of patients are adequately met in social facilities. The output of the study is an informational material intended for the general public, nurses working with mentally disabled individuals, student education, and family members of persons with disabilities. Additionally, the thesis will serve as a basis for further possible quantitative research that would verify the data obtained or as a source of information in the reconstruction of health and social facility standards.
