Staff awareness of social service providers the South Bohemian region of incidents
HANZALOVÁ, Edita
The thesis deals with the level of knowledge of staff members of social service providers in South Bohemia region in case of emergencies response. Residential social care facilities that provide care for disabled people were randomly selected. These facilities provide care to clients who are permanently dependent on other people´s assistance, in this case assistance from staff members. Therefore, the staff should be sufficiently informed concerning emergencies and appropriate response to such emergencies. The social services facilities providing residential care for disabled people include: senior homes, homes for people with special needs, homes for disabled, respite services, weekday boarding facilities, sheltered accommodation and social rehabilitation. The theoretical part of the thesis reviews the concept of emergencies and their classification. These include natural disasters and emergencies caused by human activities. Selected emergencies are presented in more detail using the Emergency Preparedness Plan of South Bohemia. Another chapter of the thesis, very relevant to this topic, is the description of social care system. Residential social care sector providing care to disabled people is characterised. There are total 81 facilities that meet the criteria in the South Bohemia territory. In the practical part, 30 of these facilities, randomly selected, were contacted. The questionnaire was filled and returned by 20 facilities. The aim of the thesis corresponded with the research question: "What is the level of knowledge of staff members of social service providers in South Bohemia region what to do in case of emergency?" We have chosen a questionnaire form in selected facilities to respond the research question and to accomplish the aim of the thesis. Two types of questionnaires were designed. One questionnaire was intended for directors or head managers of the social services providers. It included total 15 questions. The questionnaire for the group of directors and head managers in the social care facilities used PAPI (Paper and Pen Interviewing) method. We have also designed a questionnaire for staff members of social services providers. This questionnaire was divided in 3 parts and included 28 questions. The first part contained 4 questions finding the characteristics of the respondent. The second part contained 16 questions. This part determined the level of respondent´s general knowledge concerning emergencies. The last, third part, contained 8 questions, that aimed at the social care facilities staff members self-assessment. The questionnaire results have been analysed using charts including their interpretation. The level of social services staff member awareness was assessed in case of individual types of emergencies, and subsequently in groups of emergencies. Groups of emergencies included dangerous chemicals, civilian protection, fire, infectious disease outbreak, radiation incident, flood, evacuation, and first aid. The level of 80% of correct answers was set to be the threshold of good knowledge by staff members. The questionnaire results suggest that social services staff members are not sufficiently informed what to do in case of emergencies. The margin of success was reached in the question what purpose has the warning sound "general alert", and in the question what is acute radiation disease. In the group of emergencies, the level of good knowledge was not reached in any item. The thesis also assessed the level of preparedness of individual social services facilities for an emergency. All of the participating social services providers have a Fire evacuation plan, and majority do evacuation drills. The thesis concludes that social services staff members are insufficiently informed concerning emergencies, and that social services providers insufficiently train their staff members as well as their clients concerning recommended response to an emergency.

The comparison of social services for elderly in selected areas
SCHMIDTSCHLÄGER, Radim
Abstract Social services are rendered to those citizens, who require them considering their health, age or unfavourable social situation and who are unable of overcoming their social burdens and less than auspicious circumstances without external aid. Social services are essential not just because many people require them but particularly because were they not to be available, a large part of the public would lose their ability to participate in all aspects of life in a society. This would make it impossible for their human and civil rights to be upheld and lead to their exclusion from society. Social development, more favourable living standards, progress in the field of medicine and championing of social rights result in less people dying in childhood or at a productive age nowadays than before. It can be argued that the number of pensioners will be constantly increasing and that this is an accompaniment of a successfully developing civilisation. Because of their numbers, pensioners are becoming an exceptionally grave subject of social exclusion. It is therefore imperative that we realise the disadvantages the elderly face and devote appropriate attention to the issues surrounding the planning of social services. In terms of the set objective, it is necessary to evaluate and compare individual mid-term plans for the development of social services at certain locations and also to compare and evaluate the communal plans of selected cities. The dissertation proved that it is indeed necessary to pay due attention to the studied planning of social services. This is because there is a need to harmonise supply and demand in relation to social services. Ensuring the availability of a high-quality social services network for the elderly is only possible given the presence of a complex concept of social and medical care. One must however always take into consideration not just the current demographic trends but also the circumstances in the particular area as well as the degree of interest of the various subjects who are immediately involved in the issues surrounding the particular type of social services. One can undoubtedly say that the quality of social services on offer (not just for the elderly) is increasing both in relation to law No. 108/2006 Col. regarding social services but also in accordance with the recipients? wishes and demands.

Social services used by the elderly after having a cerebral hemorragie
SOUKUPOVÁ, Barbora
My bachelor thesis focuses on senior citizens after a stroke, their family members and their opportunities to use social services. The thesis examined also the awareness of such services and their availability in the Příbram district. The topic is very pressing as the occurrence of strokes worldwide is fairly high and in developed country it is causing a serious medical, social and economic problem. Senior citizens and their family members should know about the possibilities to utilize social services, so that they can achieve the highest possible level of independence and self {--} sufficiency in the home environment or so that their carers are provided with professional assistance. The theoretical part covers the issues of senior citizens and old age, stroke related issues, conditions, provision, funding and remuneration of social services, methods of care provided by the family and an overview of providers of social services for senior citizens in the district of Příbram. The research part of the bachelor thesis used a qualitative research, method of interviewing by means of questionnaires and standardized interviews. The research sample consisted of senior citizens or their family members who were approached by means of questionnaires. 120 questionnaires were distributed and 102 of them were returned, i.e. 18 questionnaires were not filled in. The return rate was 85 %. Interviews were conducted with 15 senior citizens at my workplace in the centre of care for long {--} term bedbound patients. The purpose of my work was to map the availability of the social services in the district of Příbram and the level of awareness of such services and their utilization among senior citizens. Hypothesis H: Senior citizens after a stroke are informed about the social services they can utilize. H1: Senior citizens after a stroke with the level of dependence 3 and higher prefer social services provided in residential facilities. It was found out that certain social services are missing in Příbram and some of the existing ones do not have sufficient capacities. The availability of social services is sufficient. The level of awareness among senior citizens and their family members is also at a good level. The evaluated questionnaires and interviews imply that senior citizens with the level of dependence 3 and higher mostly use the services provided in residential facilities. Based on the results the postulated hypotheses were positively confirmed and thus also the objective of this thesis.

Influence of law of social services on supply and demand of social services in České Budějovice
SCHMIDTSCHLÄGER, Radim
Abstract Social services are not important because many people need them, but because without their influence a significant part of citizens could not participate in all aspects of social life. The exercise of their human and civic rights would be rendered impossible and their social separation would occur. Social services are provided to citizens who need them due to their health condition, age or difficult social situation and who are not able to overcome their burdensome situation or unfavourable background. The planned reform of social services whose outcome is Act no. 108/2006, Coll., on social services, aimed at three main activities {--} social services planning, a change in financing of social services and quality standards of social services. Within the set objective it was necessary to assess and compare the individual community plans of social services in České Budějovice for years 2005-2007 and further, for the period of 2008-2013, and on the basis of these findings to eliminate possible flaws in the course of development and the offer of social services in the given city. As an author of the thesis I suppose that the objective of this work has been achieved. The elaborated thesis verified the need of preparing a plan of city social services for the reason of its use for implementation of the middle-term regional plan.
