The motivation for the social work profession
KOŽURIKOVÁ, Magda
The thesis deals with the motivation that leads social workers to the choice of this profession. It refers mainly to the fact that the social work profession does not always act on the basis of pure motives, but sometimes its motives to help people can be not entirely correct. Despite this fact it cannot be said that such employee is unfit for social work. The crucial thing is to become aware of the source of the desire to help others and to learn to work with it. The theoretical part of the thesis should lead the readers who are involved in helping professions to think about what their motivation to be a social worker is and to use their knowledge for the benefit of their work and their clients. At the end of the theoretical part I deal with the burnout syndrome which may be caused by unresolved shady motives for a worker and also the question of the proper motivation and taking care of it. The practical part contains a study carried out by means of questionnaire, which was designed for social workers / social service workers in organizations if the Moravian-Silesian Region. It deals with the study of motivation (the motivation in choosing their profession, how the length of practice affects the motivation, the care of worker motivation in organizations, positive and negative motivation factors).

The Social Services Staff Access to the Supervision.
ŘÍHOVÁ, Štěpánka
The bachelor thesis is focused on the attitude of social service workers to supervision. The objective of the thesis is to determine the attitude of social service workers to supervision. A partial goal of the work is to determine the benefit of supervision for social service workers. I focused on their experience and evaluation of the attitudes towards the supervision, and also on their reaction to stressful situations and also on how they try to prevent the burnout syndrome. In the theoretical part I focused on three basic chapters: social services and standards of quality, supervision and the burnout syndrome. In the practical part, in the qualitative research I chose ten workers in direct service from the Care House of Mistr Jan Křišťan in the town of Prachatice. I set one main research question:? What is the attitude of social service workers to supervision?? and four partial research questions. I applied the method of qualitative research with the technique of semi-structured interview. The results are assessed in tables. The results revealed that the attitude of social service workers is in nine cases out of ten positive. They see the benefit of supervision in the opportunity to meet together in a pleasant and safe environment and in the opportunity to talk undisturbed about difficult and painful situations coming continuously during the performance of this profession. Supervision for them also means a significant contribution in delivering hope, expression of empathy and respect from the supervisor for their hard work done. The results of the bachelor thesis could be a source of information about supervision, its contribution, development and provision in social services in the region of Prachatice. The thesis could be used not only by social service workers but also by the workers in educational and medical facilities. The thesis could be used for all helping professions.

The profession in intensive care and its impact on the lifestyle of nurses
ŠVECOVÁ, Radka
The diploma thesis has been focused on the issue of nurses working within intensive care and on the impact of performing a job in this branch on their lifestyles. The jobs of nurses working within the intensive branches clearly belong among the demanding ones. A nurse often becomes a witness of dying patients while there is hardly any chance of curability and stabilization of their conditions. All of that and many other factors affect her personal and professional life, as well as her current lifestyle. To perform her job at as high level as possible, a nurse must be motivated and directed by management of the health centre, she must be educated enough in her branch and the job should be a hobby for her, where she must feel certain and safe and the job should satisfy her. This diploma thesis has defined three following intentions. The first one highlighted mapping of a lifestyle of nurses working within intensive care. The second one was determination of psychical load of nurses working within intensive care. The third one included comparison of lifestyle of nurses working within intensive care and lifestyle of nurses working at standard wards. There were 4 hypotheses defined for the investigation survey. The first one analyzed if a job within intensive care affects diet of the nurses. This hypothesis proved true. The second one, if nurses working within intensive care consume more alcoholic drinks than the sisters working at standard wards do. This hypothesis did not prove true. The third one examined whether nurses working within intensive care smoke tobacco products more than the sisters working at standard wards do. This hypothesis proved true. And the fourth and the last hypothesis analyzed if a job within intensive care is psychically demanding for the nurses. This hypothesis proved true.

BOHDALOVÁ, Helena
The interest in the burnout syndrome issue has been increasing in recent years, particularly in the context of increasing psychosocial and work related stress in the sector of health and social services. The care of patients with chronic pain requires specific approach from the professional, psychological and ethical points of view from pain therapists. Unless a doctor is able to tolerate work related stress or to use mitigating strategies, the burnout syndrome threat occurs. The aim of the present thesis was to find out what the subjective approach to the burnout syndrome issue is among selected algiatry experts including its prevention. Qualitative research was conducted from January to February 2012 in the form of semi structured interview. The research sample consisted of respondents from 10 workplaces involved in chronic pain therapy (5 private, 5 in hospitals). The data were complemented with quantitative questionnaire research (Burnout Syndrome Symptom Inventory ? ?BSSI?) conducted from November 2011 to January 2012 to obtain a deeper insight into the content analyses of the semi structured interviews. The quantitative research sample consisted of 47 doctors from pain management workplaces from the whole Czech Republic. The demographic data were processed by means of basic descriptive statistics. Qualitative interviews were transcribed to text form and consequently analyzed. Score points of the monitored levels of the ?BSSI? questionnaire were then calculated and differences between pair variables (gender, age category, type of practice) tested. The mixed research showed statistically higher rate (p < 0.05) of tendency to burnout syndrome in pain therapists working at hospitals compared to their colleagues from private facilities. No significant differences were found in terms of age, sex, number of children in a family and number of treated patients. The most frequent symptoms of the syndrome in the respondents were irritation, lack of empathy, tiredness or loss of work enthusiasm. The most frequent protective factors are humour, breaks, discussion with colleagues, sport activities, hobbies or spending free time with families.
