The research was carried out on the basis of a quantitative method, using data collected by means of a questionnaire survey. The target group consisted of 132 children aged 8 to 14living in shelter homes for mothers with children in the Czech Republic. The survey was conducted from 30th October to 29th November 2012. The fourth chapter presents the results of the research. It is divided into two sections. The first provides descriptive statistics of the questionnaire survey results, giving an overview of the answers to individual questions. The second sectionuses the SPSS 16.0 software to test the individual hypotheses and determine the dependent variables. Hypothesis H1: The presence of friends in a children´s home has a positive influence on a child´s impression of the children´s home. The influence of friends on the child´s impression of the children´s home is analysed in the following aspects: the building of the children´s home, the room in the children´s home and the interior of the children´s home. It has been proven that having friends in the children´s home positively influences only the impression of the child´s room. Hypothesis H2: The more often children stay in children´s homes, the more they like their stay. This hypothesis has not been confirmed. Hypothesis H3: The younger the children, the more they like their stay in the children´s homes. A statistically significant relation between the age and the positive acceptance of the stay in the children´s homes has been established. Hypothesis H4: The presence of friends has a positive influence on the feeling the children get from the home. Also in this case a statistically significant relation has been confirmed. Chapter five presents a discussion of the results, comparing the hypotheses and the findings of the questionnaire survey. The conclusion of the thesis summarizes the research results and discusses the general situation of children in homes and the handicap connected with their stay there. At the very end, the paper reflects on the situation and possible recommendations for practical work.

Use of activities in the presence of a dog for children in an institutional care
PAPEŽOVÁ, Zdeňka
Abstract Use of activities in the presence of a dog for children in an institutional care The canistherapy is currently an actively used supportive rehabilitation technique than it was in previous years. The canistherapy operates in many areas relating to children, adults with a certain type of a disadvantage or also seniors. Research works have not so far addressed an effect of the canistherapy to a very specific group of clients, i.e. children in an institutional care specifically in children´s homes. Children placed in the children´s homes are generally a high risk group in terms of an action of socially undesirable phenomena and a psychical deprivation. Above all for the reasons of those risks the canistherapy is an interesting and suitable method for an inclusion in the program of activities in the children´s home. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis is divided into two areas, from which one represents a theoretical knowledge from areas of the institutional care and then it deals with the psychical deprivation. The other section of the theoretical part deals with questions of the canistherapy, its definition, methods and specifically focuses on the development of the child´s personality and the need of the presence of a dog during its development. An attention is also paid to concrete activities with dogs. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to define activities with the dog in the area of an improvement of social relationships and emotional experience at children in the institutional care. For a reason of the specific area of the research, the author chose a qualitative research, which is characterized by an in-depth description of the studied problem. The research technique was a direct participant observation in the chosen children´s home and then semi-controlled interviews with canistherapeutists and tutors. The research results present activities proven within the improvement of the social relations and emotional experience of the children. The activities are especially focused on an increase of their confidence, responsibility and evoking of pleasurable feelings. A completion of short and long term objectives at individual children was proved only partially for a reason of a short research period, some tasks require a longer field of an exposure and they will be continued even after the end of the research. This thesis should serve as an example of a good practice for using of the canitherapy in the children´s homes and in the other types of facilities within an institutional care.

Life of early adults after leaving childrens home
ČEGANOVÁ STEJSKALOVÁ, Radka
The Bachelor Thesis discusses the issue of young adults leaving the children´s homes. After leaving the institutional education the youth very often find themselves in difficult life situations they are not ready to deal with. The objective of this thesis is to analyze the life of youth after leaving the children´s homes. The youth very often leave the institutional education facilities without housing and employment having been prearranged, and want to become independent as soon as possible. Unlike their peers who grew up in families, they have no place to return in case they do not succeed in achieving their independence. The thesis includes a theoretical part which focuses on the issue of socialization, its definition, objectives and mechanisms, as well as on the significance of family during the process of one´s socialization. This part also identifies the specifics of children´s socialization in children´s homes, and also on risks associated with institutional education. It than discusses the process of leaving children´s home and one´s further possibilities and perspectives, respectively in a close connection to the social system and its available services and forms of support. The liaison between the theoretical and practical part is a chapter devoted to the social care organization ?Rozmarýna, o.p.s.?, describing its objectives, principles and specific programs. The practical part consists of four case studies that focus not only on youth just before they leave children´s home, but also on those youth who already left children´s home. The bachelor thesis helped me to gain a perspective on the issue of young adults leaving children´s home, as well as to find out what their problems are, how they solve them, and what the causes of their problems are.
