Specifics of social work with clients with drug addiction
HANZALOVÁ, Vendula
The number of people in the population who use addictive substances and develop adverse life situations is still growing. This issue is also connected with social, health and legal problems with which the drug user must deal. In this case, those addicted can look for help to institutions such as a contact centre. The theoretical part is focused on three topics. The first describes the terms of drug addiction, its origin, consequences and forms of support. The work deals with theories that are significant to the work. The last topic concerns the specifics of social work in a contact centre. There are selected core activities and techniques specific to this institution. I set the aim for this paper, which was to answer the question of which theoretical approach is best applied by social workers working with drug addicts. Furthermore I was finding out which are the best examples of good practical training. The results after evaluation showed that social workers cannot tell whether they work according to particular theories. Usually there is eclecticism, which means that they collect different experiences and then apply them to the work. The basis for these is a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual model that takes into account the integral concept of personality and the philosophy of Harm Reduction which is the main point of contact work. The research brought the views of social workers, their recommendations, and techniques that are proven by them, and also describe the pitfalls of their work. In my opinion, this work could serve as a good summary of techniques for new workers who would like to work with drug addicts. My results can also be the basis for further studies and research in this area.

Volunteering in work with drug addicted people
HORÁKOVÁ, Markéta
This thesis deals with issue of volunteering in work with drug addicted people, which is still not so expanded among the volunteers. The theoretical part of the thesis is divided into three parts. The first part is dealing with volunteering in general - who is the volunteer, what is the motivation for volunteering or look at the volunteering by society. The second part is dedicated to the syndrome of addiction and drugs. The last is introducing the social services for drug addicts. Primarily Contact center in Prostějov in which the research was done. The objective of the thesis is to find out the attitudes of users and workers from Contact center in Prostějov on the presence of volunteers. The research was done by qualitative strategy, method of questioning and the technique of half-structured interview was used. The first part of the research is focused on the attitudes of users of Contact center Prostějov on the presence of volunteers. I tried to get information about if they perceive the volunteers in the contact center positively and if it gives them any benefits. Or the other way they will not come to the contact center because the presence of volunteer intrudes them the safe environment of the contact room. The second part of the research deals with the partial goal of the thesis - the attitudes of workers of Contact center Prostějov on the presence of volunteers. Some organizations can perceive the volunteers as a burden because of the mentoring, the supervision of their work and so on. But on the other hand, there are workers who are grateful for any help because then they have more time for another important work. The thesis is important for practice since it will be given to the workers of the Contact center Prostějov and they could use it for work with volunteers.

ŠVARZBERGEROVÁ, Barbora
The work deals with motivation towards change in injection users of subutex and in injection users of pervitin (methamphetamine), who make use of contact centre services. Theoretical part describes the drug users i.e. pervitin and subutex users and the individual impacts, which the usage of these drugs brings. It focuses on the description of the system of work with motivation as a preparation for treatment, executed in the drop-in facilities, namely in the contact centre. Further it describes the process of motivation, the old and the new conception of work with motivation and motivational conversation as a work instrument of the workers in the contact centres. The last part of the thesis focuses on a specialized course of motivational conversations. The practical part contains research, whose objective is to find out the view of contact centre workers on motivation towards change in injection subutex users and in injection pervitin users. The results of the research prove that according to the views of the contact centre workers there are differences in motivation towards change in subutex and pervitin users. According to the workers the strongest motivational component in subutex users is the social functioning limit and in pervitin users it is the social exclusion itself. The workers also think that on the wheel of change the subutex users are closer to decision of change of life style than in the pervitin users.

HIV testing problems on the part of addictive drugs users
KRÚPOVÁ, Lucie
The diploma thesis on the theme ?The problems of testing for HIV from the point of view of intravenous users of addictive substances? is divided into two main parts. The theoretical part outlines the whole extent of the problem of AIDS including testing for HIV antibodies generálky and testing for HIV in intravenous users of addictive drugs, the probléme of drug dependence and social work with drug users and the care system for the drug addicted. The practical part of the thesis was carried out through qualitative research. 32 intravenous drug users were questioned, the method used being a semistructured interview. During the second part of the research representatives of seven non-governmental non-profit making organizations, with a target group made up of drug users, were questioned. Two aims of the thesis were defined. The main aim was mapping the awareness of users of addictive substance of the possibilities of testing their HIV status. The second aim was monitoring the posibility of testing HIV positivity in the South Bohemian Region. Both aims were fulfilled. Three research questions were chosen: Do drug users know their HIV status? Is the reason of drug users´ ignorance of their HIV status their lack of interest in this problem? Is testing of drug users in the field adequate? After processing and analysing the results of the research three hypothese were defined. They are as follows: intravenous drug users in the South Bohemian Region are interested in their HIV status. Clients of contact centres underplay the risk of infection by the HIV virus. Testing drug users in the field in the South Bohemian Region is not sufficient. The conclusion of the thesis is first and foremost the discovery that testing in the field of people using addictive substances is necessary and the method of testing fir HIV in intravenous drug users needs to be adapted to the possibility of these people (free testing, the possibility of being tested in the afternoon, accompanying the klient to the health facility). The most advantageous possibility for ensuring a high protestation with intravenous drug users is the link of the contact centre directly with the health centre. An advantage would be especially a local link, so there should be a contact centre near the health facility, which there hardly ever is. Of course the crux is mainly good cooperation between the workers of individual organisations. The results of the research should allow the heads of low-threshold facilities to improve their work in the area of consultancy and widening of services for the testing of clients for the HIV and hepatitis viruses including improving their cooperation with health facilities. The thesis should serve as a basis for processing the regional anti-drug strategy.

Building a contact center in banking industry
Seifrt, Ladislav ; Novotný, Ota (advisor) ; Vavák, František (referee)
Budování kontaktního centra je velmi rozsáhlou a komplexní problematikou. Tato diplomová práce se zaměřuje na aspekt efektivního využití dostupných technologií pro podporu procesů kontaktního centra (CC), především pak v bankovním sektoru. V práci je zpracován multidimenzionální model obslužnosti kontaktního centra zachycující procesní stránku řízení. Model obslužnosti je poté zasazen do kontextu současných technologií pro CC a výsledkem je model, který zachycuje vliv jednotlivých technologií na proces řízení interakcí. Tento model je v závěru teoretické části aplikován na podmínky bankovnictví. Součástí diplomové práce je i praktická (neveřejná) část, která aplikuje předchozí model na podmínky kontaktního centra společností GE Money v ČR a SR. Do kontextu modelu je zasazen vývoj kontaktního centra GE Money po vybrané období, začínající před zahájením a končící dokončením několika projektů, které byly během zpracování této práce ve fázi realizace. Tato konfrontace CC GE Money s modelem je pak výchozím bodem pro doporučení dalších kroků v budování a rozvoji tohoto CC.
