Needs of Informal Caregivers of People with Alzheimer's Disease in the ORP Písek
RÉDLOVÁ, Žaneta
The meaning of informal care grows with regard to the demographic changes in the society and the role of these caregivers is irreplaceable within the system of long-term care. The diploma thesis reflects the current situation in this area with the objective of mapping out the needs of informal caregivers of people with Alzheimer's Disease in the ORP Písek. The theoretical part of this diploma thesis is supported by a number of surveys that bring an interesting perspective to different areas of domestic care with regard to current trends in senior patient care. Attention is also focused on the characteristics of Alzheimer´s and on the mentioned municipalities with extended powers. To reach the objective, a qualitative research strategy was chosen, using semi-structured interviews with eight informal caretakers who were taking care of individuals suffering from Alzheimer´s in the chosen area. With regard to the given area, also the range of shared care and availability of formal services from the perspective of caregivers themselves, were the object of research. Data analysis was carried out using grounded theory mehtod and the result of axial coding is a paradigmatic model focused around central category - the needs of the informal caregivers. The research has proven that the needs of informal caregivres are changeable depending on the phase of Alzheimer´s disease. Meanwhile in the beginning needs of informative character arise, later they modify due to financial and time pressure. At the same time, research has proven a disproportionate offer of services in the ORP Písek and this fact is reflected in the quality of support network. Informal caregivers need to know that they are not alone in this and that there is an individual or a service that might substitute them in case they are absent.

Analysis of the impact of possible changes in the parameters of the Czech pension system on its balance
Maivald, Matěj ; Cahlík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Ryska, Pavel (referee)
Pension system in the Czech Republic still heavily relies on a model based on current disbursement method (PAYG), which is largely based on intergenerati- onal solidarity. With expected demographic changes, however, the amount of those who contribute will decrease and the oncoming retirement of populous generations of 70s together with prolonging life expectancy on the other hand will cause expenditure to increase. This thesis takes advantage of two different demographic projections and incorporates the latest macroeconomic data and legislative changes to capture the possible future scenarios. The results of this part suggest that the current system is not sustainable without intense external financing. Further it explores the impact of potential changes in various parameters of the pension system on the final account balance of pension insurance and tries to find their ideal setting that would allow for a balanced budget. Changes that would be required to implement in order to attain this objective are not insignificant and could be negatively reflected in the overall development of the Czech economy. It is therefore inevitable to start a discussion about more comprehensive possible reforms of the Czech pension system.
