Leisure activities in the home for the elderly to prevent immobilization syndrome
MARKVARTOVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor thesis with the topic: "Leisure time activities in the Home for seniors as prevention of the immobilization syndrome" is divided into two sections - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical section the terms relating to old age and types of leisure time activities offered by the Home for seniors are described. In the thesis conclusion I describe the immobilization syndrome also occurring in the elderly. Recently, there has been a large increase in senior population, and many senior people have been trying to keep active. Even when they are in Homes for seniors, they still try to find some stimulating activities that can bring joy to their lives. In the practical section I describe my survey research and its results and the answers to the research questions. The survey was carried out in the Home for seniors in Pacov, using a qualitative method of investigation by semi-structured interviews. The interviews were conducted with 6 nurses working in the Home for seniors and with 7 clients of the Home for seniors in Pacov. First of all, we set two goals that we wanted to achieve. The first goal was to find out the influence of leisure time activities on the immobilization syndrome, the second one was to give an account of the ways in which leisure time activities are offered to seniors, and to check whether seniors make use of those opportunities. To meet these targets, we stated the following research questions: How the offered leisure time activities in the Home for seniors affect the immobilization syndrome development in seniors? What leisure time activities are offered by the Home for seniors? What leisure time activities are used most by seniors? The research questions were answered in the interviews which revealed that in the Home for seniors the activities most used by clients are ergotherapy and group exercises. The clients taking part in leisure time activities feel themselves in a good condition and are happy that such activities are available in the Home. The activities are also welcome by the nurses in the Home for seniors, because the elderly feel relaxed, are happier and the nurses have less work to do when clients are in a good physical and mental condition. The output of this work is represented by a booklet which was created to serve other Homes for seniors as information on leisure time activities for seniors.

U3V VŠE a počítačová gramotnost v systému celoživotního vzdělávání
Hnilička, Jakub ; Horný, Stanislav (advisor) ; Vilím, Tomáš (referee)
Computer literacy has recently emerged as a new topic, complementing traditional literacy. While this issue affects every one of us, it is particularly important for people of post-productive age, who have not been able to become acquainted with information technology during their professional life. The National Computer Literacy Program provided a great opportunity to eliminate this illiteracy; unfortunately it came to an end together with termination of the Ministry of Informatics of the Czech Republic. It is striking that the State has been preparing projects in the area of e-Government, electronic census and electronic elections without having any developmental strategy for users of these ambitious projects. An opportunity to improve personal skills after the end of a professional career is provided by the University of the Third Age at the University of Economics, where students learn to use not only computers, but also the multimedia in the Graphic and Multimedia Laboratory. Unfortunately, this university is not accessible to everyone. The limitations consist particularly in the precondition of completed secondary education, but also in the available capacity. Thus, an option that is really available to everyone lies in the commercial sector, which offers a wide range of courses. These courses are provided either by software companies or by the ECDL (European Computer Driving License).
