STRATEGY OF CARE WITH DEMENTIAL PROBLEMS AT A SPECIALIZED DEPARTMENT OF CARE UNIT AT KOBYLISY SENIOR HOME
LELÁKOVÁ, Dagmar
In my bachelor´s thesis I focus on the efficiency of the working methods of the personnel in the integration of activization programs and in the development of predispositions and abilities of individual clients with dementia at the Department of Specialized Care for People with Dementia, hic his a part of the Home for the Elderly, Prague-Kobylisy. In the theoretical part I explain the notion of dementia, describing the types of dementia, its manifestations, stadia and therapeutical methods. Furthermore, I describe the principles of communication with persons stricken by this disease, the evaluation of cognitive and functional abilities of afflicted people, needs of the personnel, activities and therapeutical methods used in the institutional care. The practical part relied on the qualitative research. Techniques applied for data gathering included concerned and unconcerned observation, interview and case studies. The secondary data analysis served as an auxiliary method. The central criteria applied in the selection of CASE was dementia and the terminated adaptation period. For the present research there were selected altogether 20 respondents aged 63 - 97 years afflicted by dementia of various types and in different stages of development. Out of the selected group of 20 respondents 6 persons were chosen for detailed case studies. The central objective of the work was to find out whether this group of clients with dementia can really benefit from the working methods applied at this particular specialized department. The target no. 2 was to find out whether the applied methods contribute to the longest possible preservation of self-sufficiency of clients with dementia. The target no. 3 was to convince family members to maximally collaborate with the personnel. In my view, the targets no. 1 and 3 were fully accomplished. The accomplishment of target no. 2 is relative and differs in individual CASE since the self-sufficiency of respondents gradually diminishes depending on their aging and disease advancement. Persons stricken by dementia are unable to take care of themselves, they have problems in expressing themselves, as if living in their own world, however, they do have their own needs, experiences and joys. These needs can be met by a caring family. However, the strength of the family is limited and very often it happens that the family is totally exhausted and unable to take care of the client. At that point it is necessary to provide institutional care by trained personnel that would ensure clients with dementia a kind and secure atmosphere.

Nursing Care For The Dead {--} Theory and Practice
HOUFKOVÁ, Petra
The topic of my thesis is Nursing care for the dead. My intention was to find out whether nurses treat the dead body with respect and piety. The work is divided in two parts: theoretical and practical. Its theoretical part describes the death from the historical point of view, nursing care for the dead body and individual stages of dying are mentioned. Last but not least neither survivors are forgotten, since the loss of a close person is always the most difficult situation in their life. The aim of my thesis is to find out how nurses approach the care for the dead and what they feel when treating the dead body. On the basis of these aims the following hypotheses were formulated: 1. Nurses caring for the dead observe the ethical attitude. 2. Nurses do not perceive treating the dead body as a positive part of nursing care. After all modern nursing leads us to a more profound reflection and possibility of improving the ethical attitude and expressing the dignity to the dead.

JAUKEROVÁ, Irena
The first chapter examines the relationship of the society to the seniors, perception surrounding seniors, negative and positive views of the seniors in the history, then ageism. The second chapter refers to the dependence and vulnerability as the dimension of human existence. For that reason, here is paid attention to the care of seniors, with a more detailed focus on the seniors with dementia and the senior's dying. There aren't also omitted the care of social workers and therefore is a notice of the burn-out syndrome. In the last chapter is given positive influence of autonomy and dignified approach on the success life of the seniors. Furthermore, the importance of ethical standards contained in codes of ethics and ethical theories for the correct decision and behaviour of a social worker.
