The issues of a young adult individual?s self-concept within the Czech society and a social worker?s support with dealing with them
JELÍNKOVÁ, Eva
The thesis deals with the problems of a young adult human being's self-concept from the psychological point of view. The influence of the social elements on the start in an adult life can be observed through individualism, consumerism and quality of life, which all affect the two most important parts of life ? the work and human relations. The main part of the thesis focuses on the self-concept issues of a young adult in correlation to the (dis)satisfaction in the social roles as all the roles include various expectations. The dissatisfaction can be caused by preferring the ideal "myself" which is not in accordance with the actual requirements of the social environment. This can have a negative impact on the self-concept and individual's functioning within the community and society. The individual turns his attention to the social worker when having self-concept problems that might result in mental difficulties. The theoretical starting points are applied to some particular areas of the social work (social work with the young adults, social work with families, marital and family consultancy).

Involuntary Client in Social Work
VÍŠKOVÁ, Michaela
The objective of my work is to survey what kinds of social work tools motivate, from the view of a social worker, an involuntary client to change his/her current situation and start working with a social worker. In the theoretical part of my diploma work I first deal with general topics, I focus on the typology of clients and relation and communication with clients. Within the section that is dedicated to the involuntary client solely I deal with the characteristics of such a client and ethical dilemmas in respect of the relation to this client. Furthermore, I present some recommendations for work with an involuntary client and I concentrate more on motivating the client. The chapter that deals with specific features of social work with addictive substances users, as one of the groups of involuntary clients, forms an extensive part of the theoretical part. In order to achieve the set objective, I have chosen a combination of quantitative and qualitative research. The data have been collected by means of anonymous questionnaires and non-standardized dialogues with 144 social workers in the Vysočina Region. Within the research I study the experience of social workers with work with involuntary clientele, further I focus on methods and techniques used at work with involuntary clients and on theoretical bases of this work as well. The survey also aims to determine the diversity in the approach of social workers in respect of voluntary and involuntary clientele. Following the evaluation of the survey outputs it can be said that a majority of social workers meet involuntary clients at their work. However, not all the workers consider the use of a specific approach to such clients important. A possible improvement in this respect may, in my opinion, be brought by educational courses that focus on the issues of involuntary clientele. Supervision plays an irreplaceable role here, too. The results of my diploma work may be used for the needs of further research, teaching and in order to enhance the knowledge of the issues of involuntary clientele.

Ethical Problems and Dilemmas in the Work of Officials at the Social Departments of Municipalities
LUDÍNOVÁ, Ivanka Anna
As a subject-matter of my bachelor's thesis I chose "Ethic issues and dilemmas upon the public officers' work within Social Services and Welfare Departments at Local Authority Offices of Czech municipalities", because I had considered the theme to be more than actual since such topics appear within the public administration activities all the time and each officer is then forced to sort these dilemmas and issues out as a part of their everyday work. Solving such problems is quite demanding job not only for the officers themselves, but also within all areas of human life.The bachelor's thesis was divided into two parts. As for the theoretical chapter, I defined key terms and definitions concerning the field of ethics by which the decision-making process of each officer is affected significantly, and which were essential for the research pursuit. I also dealt with the ethical theories which influence the social work a lot, the ethic codes were included as well as their functions together with their utility for public officers. I addressed to particular ethic issues and dilemmas connected with the social work in the following chapters. As for the elaboration of the research chapter of this bachelor's thesis and the accomplishment of stipulated objectives, a quantitative observation ? questioning survey ? was used. The original aim of my bachelor's thesis had been to detect all needs of relevant officers in the city of Pilsen regarding their further education within the area of professional ethics, and to find out whether they have to resolve such ethic issues and dilemmas upon their deciding. Based on the specified objectives, two hypotheses were formulated. The research section described the initial goals of investigation, methodology and techniques, which I had chosen for gathering the required information, while I described the search sample and the execution of data acquisition, too. Furthermore, I focused on the data interpretation and last but not least the discussion on the interviewing results. The intention of my thesis was fulfilled: the first assumption could not have been confirmed at all while the second assumption had been fully proved to be true. This approach can be useful upon preparation of further education for public officers within the social sphere, especially in connection with their abilities to cope with ethic-related troubles and situations which the officers in question have to face every single day.

Ethic principles in work of a nurse and a social worker - deuces and differences
BARTIZALOVÁ, Alice
Abstract Ethical principles in the work of nurse and social worker {--} concordances and differences Social and health care includes certain values that should be observed by social workers and nurses. Particular personality features and skills each professional worker should have are necessary to observe them. They include e.g. empathy, cooperation ability, professionalism etc. Those features lead to the relationship to ethical codes and observance of the principles contained in them. Ethical principles of health and social care are very important for correct development of the social worker-client and nurse-patient relationships. The goal of the research was to ascertain what ethical principles are included in ethical codes of social workers and nurses. It was investigated which principles were identical and which are different and whether such different principles could be used in the other profession. The goal was also to find out the awareness of social workers and nurses on ethical codes, their contents, on the applicability into practice and last but not least also the opinion on the ethical code of the other profession. The results of both parts of the research were compared to each other. Qualitative research, method of document analysis and questioning in form of semi-controlled interviews were used to achieve the results. The purpose of this work was to detect identical and different principles of social and health care. Several common principles observed identically both by social workers and by nurses were detected. The interview part showed different principles or principles included only in the code of one profession. Some different principles would be applicable for the other profession. This work points out what the view of social workers and nurses on those principles is. Some of their views were identical, some answers were completely individual. The goal of the work was met. More detailed analysis of documents and interviews with a greater number of respondents would be needed to confirm or disprove the hypotheses expressed in the Discussion part.

Philosophical justification of human diginity
NOVÁKOVÁ, Lucie
Philosophical justification of human dignity In the 20th century the transformation into the information society took place. The development of information technologies has brought enormous freedom, on the other hand a decline of the institution of family has quickened rapidly, the character of mutual relations in the society has changed. Thus contemporary science interferes in human naturalness. In the field of medicine technologies which enable lengthening of human life have been developed; however, this evokes the question of dignity of life like this. Current conception of human dignity is also affected by a number of recent tragedies. Consequently a huge development of protection of human rights attempting to prevent such situations in the future has taken place. Respecting human dignity is the basis of the profession of health and social workers, who together with other groups and organisations help disabled people. The project of home artificial pulmonary ventilation (DUPV) is intended for severely handicapped citizens who are dependent on a respirator for the whole life. The aim of my work was mapping the attitudes of DUPV to their own dignity. The research was carried out by a qualitative method; the monitored group consisted of seven DUPV respondents who were chosen by random sampling and by "snow ball sampling". As a method of data collection used a biographic dialogue, followed by standardized asking of 20 questions concerning the determined research questions. Based on the results of individual dialogues the casuistries were formed, obtained data were summarised in charts and tables. Three research questiond were determined: 1.How severely handicapped people with DUPV perceive their dignity? 2.Which non-material factors support dignified life of DUPV patients? 3.Which material factors improve the quality life of DUPV patients? All these questions were answered by the research. We want to mediate the results of the work to professionals, especially to the Centre for DUPV in Brno. The respondents, too, will be sent the results of our research and information from thechapter dealing with social security as well as the contacts with helping organisations.
