LUKESZOVÁ, Renáta
The name of my bachelor{\crq}s work is Social Services for Seniors {--} the Comparison of Supplies between Havířov and České Budějovice. I have chosen this topic because of the fact that our population grow old and the number of people older than 60 years is increasing. Seniors are not often able to take care about themselves due to their age or impaired health state. Occurrence of social services are benefit, they can ensure necessary care about seniors. The aim of my bachelor{\crq}s work was comparison of social services for seniors in České Budějovice and Havířov. By hypothesis I supposed that supply of social services for seniors are in both areas similar. For research I selected two basic methods and techniques of collection of dates {--} method of questioning (technique of dialogue with providers of services) and method of analysis of documents (content analysis of documents informing about provided service - leaflets, internet sites). As a main technique of research I selected controlled dialogue with providers of services. During dialogue I asked 10 invariable questions. I wrote down obtained dates to table for gaining better lucidity about provided services (see supplements). Technique of content analysis of documents informing about provided service (leaflets, internet sites) I chose like additional because I did not gained a lot of this documents (result of changes related with implementation of new act number 108/2006 Collection of Law, about Social Services). I compared gained information about services according to a form of service (ambulatory, field, stay) and according to number of providers of each service (stay services {--} retirements homes, centres of day services, homes with domiciliary services, consulting rooms, facility with activity for handicapped persons, domiciliary and nursing services, leisure time activities and organizations established on volunteer base) in both cities through the use of tables and graphs. From these tables emerge that supply of socials services for seniors in cities České Budějovice and Havířov are very similar. Difference is only in the number of providers of these services. Less providers of each service are in Havířov. Research was done to date 13.4.2007.

Work of self-help groups of home nurses for people with Alzheimer´s disease
ŘÍHOVÁ, Jana
The current trend of general mature of population brings the broad range of serious consequences, mainly the increase of incidence and prevalence of diseases, which occur much often by the older people. From the medical and socio-economical point of view, the most serious disease is the aphreina, because the prevalence of this disease by the people older 60 years together with increasing age has the exponential character. The deterioration of the patient` s condition is also a big stress for the family. It is very difficult to accept the fact of the gross degeneration of closed person` s personality and don{\crq}t change the attitude to him. The patient is still physically present, but his mentality has been changed, he lost his personality. ``Is he, but it isn{\crq}t him anymore.{\crqq} The technology of controlled conversation, casuistic and secondary analysis of data has been used for the qualitative research. The controlled conversations was done at Senior hospice Maj. The group was consist of 5 family members of patient, who has the Alzheimer disease, 5 nurses from the department with special regime and 3 social workers. The secondary analysis of data was realized on the basis of statistics, which has been already published at the Grade theses called: ``The problems family nurses caring for the patients with Alzheimer disease.{\crqq} For this analysis, the 15 informants have been used. Within the stated aim {--} to chart the activities of self-helping groups - I have used the data published at Annual report of Czech Alzheimer` s company from 2005. I have also made uncontrolled conversation with coordinator of self-helping group at Ceske Budejovice. The results of the research showed that the biggest problem with the devotion about the patient is the psychical stress. The rest, relaxation, fun, etc. could help to feel better. If these principals are followed, the most of the problems will never occur. The help of further people is necessary to fulfill these points. The research refer to problem of nonavailability of self-helping groups, family nurses caring for the patients with Alzheimer disease within the specific region of Czech Republic and also refer to low awareness about their existence and their activities. I hope that my thesis help to home-nurses to predate the problems, which have been mentioned here {mainly the mental ones}, and also helps to existing self-helping groups.

THE PREVENTION OF SENIORS´ INJURIES
NEDVĚDOVÁ, Jana
The prevention of seniors´injuries The injuries of people at seniors age have become one of the serious issues of today´s medicine, presenting not only the health problem but also the social one. The most seniors´injuries associates with falls and slips. The second main cause for injuries are the traffic accidents, the next one following upon are the accidents, which happen often at home during the casual activities. The intoxication at the old age is not rare either. The prevention of the falls and potential injuries is based on reduction of hazards of accident occurrence. The prevention, which leads to continuing reduction of the accident rate at seniors age corresponds with the goal no. 5 that is stated in the World Hospital Organization {\clqq}Health 21`` Document. The chosen exploratory method was the quantitative sociologic research based on on-the-spot requiries by the use of question form. The research sample of population consisted from seniors from 65 years old up (130 correspondents) chosen randomly in the region of České Budějovice within the year 2005. The data were all compiled in the Organization For Injuries Preventions in South Bohemia software program. Seniors faced the health hazard and injuries mostly at homes, which are mostly caused by restriction in movements. The most casual ones are the falls. The protective instruments and equipment, which might reduce the injury risks (for example non-barrier entries, skidding devices, bars and so on) still are not the standards for seniors today. The knowledge and understanding the emergancy phone numbers is not sufficient either. The possibilities of prevention for seniors are various, but have not been much exploited yet. It seems the seniors should be firstly adressed by public health employees, which they are in casual contact with and they usually rely on. The topic of prevention of injuries should be also more discussed at education programs destined for seniors.

The environment, where we live, that means the dwelling environment, influences the quality of our lives very important. This space is more important for the seniors, because their abilities, which help them to move easy in our world, go down. The injuries represent a grave and special element in morbidity of the seniors. They happen more frequently, more weak is the health and functional disposition of the seniors. Compared to a younger age, their treatment is more complicated, longer and brings worse attainments and higher costs. Grave injuries are yoke together with higher mortality, than similar hurts in younger age. In this diploma work the author has tried to assess the prevention of the injuries of the seniors in the rest homes and to chart the factors, which most influence this adaptation.

Other chapters treat of dividing of the periods of human life, bio-psycho-social changes in old age, most frequent health problems and their prevention, rehabilitation. In the second part of the work, the author is engaged in the survey in the rest homes. She locates in chosen institutions, if the living and life of the seniors is primary assured so, that the injury risk is minimal. For obtaining of the necessary data, the author has used a method of questioning and observation. Three of the rest homes were randomly chosen in the south-bohemian region. The author has used a quantitative research to get this data. The hypothesis, if the rest homes have equipment, which minimizes the injuries risk, was confirmed.
