The Family and the Counselling in Rehabilitation
CHALUPOVÁ, Michaela
The thesis deals with the role of family in the course of coordinated rehabilitation. At present time, rehabilitation is understood not only as a medical care within the sphere of physiotherapy but also as an interdisciplinary activity which includes health-care, social-legal, pedagogical-psychological as well as work-related activities. Coordinated rehabilitation therefore requires cooperation of a team of involved specialists. This is not only about qualified experts but also about the disables person and his/her family. Family is the most important social group and the basic building stone of society. It fulfils the basic educational function, forms the attitudes of the child to itself, its loved ones and the whole world. Thus it fundamentally affects the society and on the contrary the society influences the family. That is why the family has to receive information necessary for the fulfilment of its functions (in particular when taking care of a disabled person), for example in the form of expert counselling. The objective of the work was to identify the role of family and its cooperation with counselling agencies within the process of coordinated rehabilitation. In addition to agencies taking care of handicapped persons, counselling institutions include also organisations whose social services are primarily provided to this target group. Qualitative research was used in the course of work on the empirical part. Input data were collected by the method of questioning, in particular by the technique of semi-structured interview. The research group consisted of thirteen social workers who provide expert social counselling or other social services primarily intended for handicapped persons. In connection with the objective of the thesis, the main research question was: What difficulties social workers identify when working with the family within the process of coordinated rehabilitation? The sub-question derived from the main research question was: What is the role of family within the counselling process from the perspective of a social worker? The results showed that social workers are satisfied with the families of users of the social service and confirm that cooperation between them is good. However, cooperation between social workers and the family differs significantly according to the type of provided services. The research also revealed that providers of social services in the course of their work with family encounter difficulties rather exceptionally. Still, social workers perceive as difficulties especially limits in the communication with family. Providers of social services try to build relations between them and the family of the user of the particular service and provide social support. Social workers perceive the role of family especially as being their communicating and cooperating partner. The research showed that the best cooperation and communication between social workers and the family of user of the social services is one based on a partnership level. The thesis identified the difficulties of social workers encountered during their work with families taking care of a handicapped person and suggested recommendations for more active involvement of families in dealing with a difficult life situation of its members. In addition, the thesis can serve as a basis for further quantitative research of this theme.

Expectations of women / clients from professional social counseling in their difficult life situation
ERHARTOVÁ, Nikola
The aim of the bachelor thesis called "Expectations of Female Clients of the Professional Social Counselling In Their Difficult Life Situation" is to cover what kind or form of help these clients expect.The thesis is devided into two large parts. The theoretical part comprises of four main chapters. The first chapter ís called "Counselling in Social Services", and specifies professional social counselling and connected topics, such as counselling relationship, professionality and personality of the counsellor, counselling dialogue and working with orders. The second chapter defines the term "Difficult Life Situation". The third chapter lists situations which can be seen as difficult in the life of a woman. Possible support and help within social work is outlined for each target group, too. The last chapter covers work of Counselling Center Eva, Diocesan Charity in České Budějovice. The research part is based on findings from this counselling center, where the respondents of the research are registered as clients. The practical part is based on realised qualitative research. Six respondents were questioned in semistructured interview in the qualitative research. The interviews were recorded, under the consent of the respondents, and transcriptions into written form were carried out subsequently. The written form was processed by open coding. Four categories connected to the research question were identified by the method of analysis. The categories are: Expected form of help, Expectations in relationship to the center, Expectations in relationship to the social workers, and Emotions connected to the process of counselling. Results of the research showed that within the professional social counselling, the respondents are interested in covering the topics of benefits, doles, financies and debt counselling, as well as employment. It was further proved that it is important for the respondents to have assistance of the social workers when making phone calls and dealing with documents. Apart from social counselling, the respondents also expect material help. Very important aid, which is higly appreciated and expected for the future, appears to be the services of Voluntary Center of Diocesan Charity in České Budějovice. The second identified category Expectations in relationship to the center showed that the respondents see the center as a Lighthouse and Sanctuary. For them, the counselling center is a place where they hope to find assurance, stability, confidence and unconditional acceptance. What came out as interesting is that four respondents reflected the change of social workers within the center. This change caused confusion to two of the respondents. The third important identified category, which also brings evidence about expectations of female clients, is Expectations in relationship to the social workers. Different roles and forms of help are expected from the social workers. Among the roles defined belong Professional advisor, Mediator, Investigator, Initiator, Close person, Filter of emotions, Human being, and also social worker as a Strange person, which has not always been percieved as positive, as this is connected to declaration of the client as fit to work and her own responsibility. The last additional category is Emotions connected to the counselling process. All the respondents expressed satisfaction, gratitude and appreciation of the work of the center. This category therefore shows that the respondents are satisfied with the help, the social workers, and the work of the center in all cases, and that the work of the social workers is evaluated positively. The results can serve not only as feedback for the head office and all the workers of the Counselling Center Eva, Diocesan Charity in České Budějovice, but for other organisations with similar scope of activities. The results also bring recommendations which could be used by the social workers in their future counselling relationships.

Qualitative research in counseling strategies dependent personality (drugs, alcohol)
LERCHOVÁ, Lenka
This thesis deals with advisory strategies of people working with drug and alcohol addicts. The main objective of the thesis is to map advisory strategies and experience used by workers of advisory institutions in České Budějovice in their work with people addicted to drugs and alcohol. In the context of my research, I perceive advisory strategies as the application of sophisticated principles in providing addiction services. I am interested in information characterizing the principles of providing social services, counselling goals, specification of the target group of clients, types of provided services, and principles defining their provision. Furthermore, I focus on the treatment of clients, and how social workers encourage them to change. I believe that institutions presenting their strategies clearly become understandable for existing and potential clients. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part consists of four chapters, and is based on scientific literature. The first chapter defines terms concerning drug issues. The second chapter is focused on the division of drugs and their effects on the organism. The third chapter deals with the issues of addiction counselling in institutions and in field, in counselling centers and after-care centers. The fourth chapter describes the method of motivational interviewing as one of the instruments used in the field of addiction counselling. The second part of the thesis is a practical part. It describes the tasks and research procedure. It contains a description of used methods. The practical part of the thesis also describes selected institutions providing counselling for individuals addicted to drugs (alcohol). In conclusion, the thesis summarizes the gathered information.

Utilizing nurse counsellor in the care of incurably ill
JANSOVÁ, Markéta
The care of incurable ill seems to be a current topic because of modernization of health care curing today the states and diseases from which people used to die much earlier than today. From this reason, there is more and more incurably ill people and the role of nurse counsellor for the incurably ill is more and more significant. The nurse counsellor´ s task should be especially to be near the incurable ill and their families, to help them to orient themselves in this demanding situation, to provide important information and as the case may be to help them in the provision of more suitable care. Goals C1 have been set for this work ``To find out the idea the laic public has about the care in the situations after having found out that they would have been incurably ill``; C2: ``To find out the care assistant staff opinion on the possibility of utilizing the nurse counsellor in the care of incurably ill``; C3: ``To find out the possibilities of utilizing the nurse counsellor in the care of incurably ill`` and C4: `` To find out who should be the provider of counselling care after the client finds out that he is incurable ill``. Furthermore, hypotheses have been set H1: The counsellor nurse is able to intervene based on the problematic of the care being expressed by laic public in case of finding out an incurable illness``. H2: ``The care assistant staff does not consider the counsellor nurse´s role real because of not specified competences in the relevant legislation``. H3: ``The care assistant staff confuses the educator nurse´s role and the counsellor nurse´s role``. Qualitative-quantitative investigation has been conducted. In the qualitative part, the research set for the interview consisted of 4 nurses from oncological, surgical, out-patient and neurological department and 4 lays. The research set of the research investigation quantitative part consisted of 116 respondents: nurses from the subsequent care, out-patient, surgical, neurological and oncological department at the hospital Nemocnice České Budějovice, a. s. and at the St. J.N.Neumanna hospice in Prachatice; and further 112 respondents-lays. From the evaluated results, it can be concluded that both the nurses and lays are interested in a counsellor nurse whose utilization would be, however, problematic because of not specified competences in the legislation. Further on it is necessary to emphasise the dominant value ensued from the research investigation {--} the family``.
