Dog as a reminiscence stimulus.
Suková, Markéta ; Čížková, Hana (advisor) ; Dočkal, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis presents a basic insight into the issue of remembering and reminiscence, in order to plan, implement and evaluate the reminiscence program with canisterapeutical elements in Senior Residence Klamovka. The content is not only the theoretical basis, but above all the preparation process, the actual realization and the overall evaluation of a unique program of this type. There were six reminiscence meetings, the content of which was focused on the topic "dogs in my life". Indispensable subjects for the possible program testing were the reminiscence therapist, the canisterapeut, the author of the work and especially the clients of Senior Residence Klamovka, where everything was happening. The cycle of six reminiscence meetings with the use of a therapeutic dog ran from April to June 2017. After testing, it became clear that the selected themes with the use of a therapeutic dog were able to support a pleasant atmosphere during the meeting and the reminiscence of the seniors themselves. As a major shortcoming is to secure an adequate number of reminiscending people. Large numbers of attendees have often disrupted the harmony of the whole encounter.

JIROUTOVÁ, Pavla
This bachelor thesis is aimed to the stimulating activities for seniors. Based on the Act No. 108/2006 Collection, On social services the stimulating activities belong among the basic activities when providing social services. The theoretical part consists of eight basic chapters. The first one outlines the characteristics of aging and old age. It is followed by social work with seniors because the whole thesis is engaged just in the seniors´ population. The third section contains the senior´s active life, its importance and the description of the active life in social services used by seniors. The left sections are engaged in the individual stimulating activities, such as motion activities, brainstorming, musical and art therapies. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to map the stimulating activities for the seniors in Rychnov nad Kněžnou. The partial aim is to find out the benefit of the stimulating activities for the seniors in Rychnov nad Kněžnou from the seniors´ point of view. There are two research questions in the connection with the thesis aims. The main research question is: What kind of stimulating activities for seniors are provided in Rychnov nad Kněžnou? The partial research question finds out what is the benefit of the stimulating activities for the seniors from the seniors´ point of view. For practical section of bachelor thesis I have chosen the quality research. I have used the questioning method and the technique of the semi-controlled dialoque, the secondary analysis of data, and the method of make the clusters. The selected group had 7 clients of the daily and weekly care centre of Parish charity in Rychnov nad Kněžnou where the research has been realized. The respondents have been chosen using the purpose-quota choice. The results are divided into two sections based on the research questions. The first section is concerned the data analysis of the organizations providing the stimulating activities for the seniors in Rychnov nad Kněžnou. The second section contains the respondents´ subjective opinions in the stimulating activities offered by the Parish charity in Rychnov nad Kněžnou within the daily and weekly care centre for seniors. The results are divided into the sections based on stimulating. The research has shown the stimulating activities for seniors in Rychnov nad Kněžnou are offered by two organizations ? Social services of the town Rychnov nad Kněžnou and the Parish charity in the same town. The stimulating activities provided with the seniors are as follows: motion activities, brainstorming, reminiscences, musical and art therapies, lectures, playing games, hobby clubs, learning a foreign language, social and cultural events. It results from the research realized using the dialogue with the clients of the Parish charity in Rychnov nad Kněžnou that the most visited activity are motion activities with brainstorming in which all the questioned people participate. For the question where they can see the contribution to train their memory, they answered as follows: they train their memory, they are in the contact with the others, they learn new information and so they fulfill their leisure time or this activity is a hobby of theirs. They feel training their bodies due to the motion activities. The reminiscences have proved to be a favourite activity for them, too. The reason is they like remembering the years they have lived. The musical and art therapies have shown to be less popular activities. The gained knowledge of this bachelor thesis will have been possible to use as the source of information about the stimulating activities for the seniors in Rychnov nad Kněžnou.
