The Importance of Care Services for Seniors Living at Home
ŠLEJHAROVÁ, Marta
This bachelor thesis focuses on the importance of care services for the seniors living in the home environment. The main objective was to find out how the needs of seniors are satisfied in connection with the provision of care service and to highlight the difference in the perception of the needs of seniors. The thesis consists of a theoretical part and a research part. The theoretical part is divided into four chapters. The first chapter deals with old age and more specifically with the demographics of aging, the definition of old age, the age breakdown of old age and changes in old age. The second chapter of the theoretical part deals with the needs of human beings and their classification. There are described biological, psychological, social and spiritual needs there. The third chapter deals with the relationship of the seniors and their families. It is divided into three sub-chapters: the seniors family and its functions, the assistance and the care for the seniors in the home environment and advantages and disadvantages associated with home care for the seniors. The fourth chapter deals with services for the seniors and care servises. The research part deals with the importance of care service for the seniors who live in a home environment. The main research question was: How are satisfied the needs of seniors in the connection with the provision of care service? The main research question was divided into four sub-questions: How are fulfilled the biological needs of seniors living in home environment in the connection with the provision of care service? How are fulfilled psychological needs of seniors living in a home environment in the relation with the provision of care service? How are fulfilled social needs of seniors living in a home environment in the relation with the provision of care service? How are fullfilled spiritual needs of seniors living in a home environment in the relation with the provision of care service?The last research question: "How are fullfilled spiritual needs of seniors living in a home environment in the relation with the provision of care service?", was evaluated in such a way that the the spiritual needs of informers with reduced mobility are not sufficiently fulfilled. Despite the will and the care of the nurses, this is not possible, either because of the workload of nurses or their education. Parsons do not manage to cover all the needs of seniors. There are cases where seniors emphasize the complete absence of spiritual service. There are often times when seniors would welcome more spiritual services. In conclusion, we can say that for the seniors the care service has the greatest importance in fulfilling their biological needs and also satisfies their psychological and social needs. The spiritual needs of seniors with reduced mobility are, according to the research, not fulfilled.
