JUNOVÁ, Michaela
The title of my thesis is ``Quality of life of senior citizens in the town of České Budějovice{\crqq}. I chose this topic because ageing of population is increasingly becoming a problem which cannot be ignored and which is becoming a phenomenon of our time and affects individual as well as social life. The thesis is focused on the issue of quality of life of senior citizens living in their home environment and senior citizens who live in institutional facilities. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the terms old age and ageing, then deals with various aspects of ageing, terms of geriatrics and gerontology, health condition of elderly people, demographic ageing. The term ``quality of life{\crqq} and its determinants which affect life of senior citizens are defined. The empirical part of the thesis evaluates standard and quality of life of senior citizens in České Budějovice. Analysis and interpretation of data from questionnaire research provide information on quality of life and comparison of differences between senior citizens who live in institutional facilities (retirement homes, senior nursing homes) and senior citizens who live in their home environment. This part of the thesis was prepared using charts and graphs which show that hypotheses I had set were confirmed. The thesis can be used as information material for senior citizens and for students of Faculty of Health and Social Studies.

VOLDŘICHOVÁ, Petra
Communication is generally defined as a transfer of information via various signals and means: orally, in writing, by facial expressions, gestures and other non-verbal behaviour, in particular between two or among several people. It is also often stated to involve the manners or the means facilitating connection (understanding). Doctors and nurses generally admit communication difficulties in certain specific demanding situations but some of them believe that they are good mediators, i.e. good communicators, due to their upbringing, abilities and education. By contrast, senior patients often find the communication skills of medical workers rather unsatisfactory and show dissatisfaction with the course of intercommunication. The objective of the research part of the bachelor thesis was to ascertain the manner how doctors and nurses communicate with senior patients in the neurosurgical ward. Another objective was to ascertain which manners of communication are suitable for senior patients hospitalized in the neurosurgical ward. It followed from the research that the seniors hospitalized in the neurosurgical ward prefer verbal communication {--} this form of communication is the most convenient for them. The medical staff also stated that they mostly used verbal communication {--} in some cases supplemented with non-verbal communication, in particular with gestures and the tone of the voice. This thesis could be used as a feedback in the area of communication between the medical workers and the senior patients hospitalized in the neurosurgical ward of Nemocnice České Budějovice, a.s.

Caring for Senior Citizens with Dementia
PRŮCHA, Vlastimil
The thesis deals with the manifestation and results of aging and old age from the point of view of the elderly and their experience of this stage of life and also from the viewpoint of the family and society around them. Further attention is drawn to the importance of the connection of health and social care for citizens with health problems, and the significance of social work in caring for senior citizens is emphasised. Other parts deal with the notion of dementia, with particular focus on Alzheimer{\crq}s disease. Basic problems are outlined which are connected with a citizen dealing with dementia and information is given which can help the family and all those who are involved in helping the patient. In the conclusion I evaluate the significance of permanent care and I consider the needs of non-institutional care and emphasise the importance of a caring family, humanity and understanding, which are important for the quality of life of those with dementia. This is the aim of my thesis.
