Waageová, Alena ; Veber, Jaromír (advisor) ; Holmerová, Iva (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze Long-Term Care in the Czech Republic, to design a Quality Management System for Long-Term Care, and to demonstrate its practical application in Gerontological Centre. A Quality Management Handbook for Long-Term Care represents an additional aim of this thesis; it is designed for Health and Social organizations having a similar spectrum of activities. This work relies on document analysis - available scientific studies on long-term care, and literature focused on quality management. A significant part of the text is supported by our own practical experience and is reinforced by consultations with experts in senior care. ISO systems, TQM approaches, Standards of social services, and National accreditation standards for subsequent and long-term care SAK ČR (United Accreditation Commission of Czech Republic) have been used as a starting point for the proposed Quality Management System. The proposed system has a broad scope, including resources, processes and outputs. The systems used in practice have some common parts; therefore the proposed model may be easily modified to accommodate the specific requirements of individual certification authorities.

The present study follows the issue of seniors from a demographic and socio-economic point of view, as well as social attitudes towards seniors. Process of demographic aging in the Czech Republic is characterized by using literature and statistical sources, as well as the position of society to activity of the post-productive population in the labor market, to health, social security and pension, as well as the relationship within the family and society.

Clients´life at a ward with social beds in hospital Nemocnice Jindřichův Hradec a.s. and in the Nursing Care Home in Jindřichův Hradec
BERÁNKOVÁ, Jana
Old age is the last stage of human life; the main task of old age is to reach integrity in terms of one´s own life. The ideal of active aging is understood as the time when it is possible to pursue one´s youth activities such as sport or hobbies; paradoxically, old age is considered as valuable only if old people are able to fulfil the cultural ideal of youth. In my thesis, I focus on comparing the clients´ life at a ward with social beds in hospital Nemocnice Jindřichův Hradec a.s. and in the Nursing Care Home in Jindřichův Hradec. I tried to find out the respondents´ aims in life, how the respondents use their leisure time and whether they use of the opportunities offered by the facility. I also tried to find out how much the respondents had to change their lifestyles in the current social facilities and whether they are satisfied because not to fulfil their aims in life could lead to social isolation and a lack of self-fulfilment. In my research, I respect the individuality of each person and their attitude to life. To understand an individual it is necessary to access their life in a holistic way, from birth to the present, and to take into account the course of their life in its entirety. It is also confirmed by the research part of my thesis, when the respondents still had their aims in live, in which they were still trying to find joy in their lives, despite their old age, they did not close the door to the world, but rather they were still interested in not only their relatives but they also liked to use the services offered by the facility in the use of their leisure time. I used qualitative research to compare of life of clients in each of the facilities. In my research I used the method of observing the o respondents in each of the facilities; I also used semi-controlled interviews and a personal data analysis. I consider this topic as very relevant because the issue of old age has recently been a serious social problem due to the fact that in terms of demography the population has been getting older due to the lengthening of life expectancy and concurrent fall in natality. The current all-society programs do not emphasize prolonging life but they promote the quality of life in old age, independence, participation, self-fulfilment and dignity.

Upon completing the intervention mobility program, we can say that the program did have positive effects, but not in all of the parameters measured.
