Kubíková, Kateřina ; Šťastná, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Šámalová, Kateřina (referee)
The thesis deals with reminiscence and its use when working with sick elderly people. The theoretical part of the thesis introduces the method of reminiscence and its primary functions with an emphasis on individual form. These theoretical bases are further applied to the target group of elderly patients. The practical part presents qualitative research based on semi- structured interviews with seniors suffering from long term illness. Data analysis using the method of interpretative phenomenological analysis proved that memories have a high potential to positively impact the senior patients and contribute to improving their quality of life. However, the effect of reminiscing is influenced by additional factors such as the senior's nature and his life philosophy. On the contrary, the approach to reminiscence is not influenced by the type of past experiences - difficulties experienced in the past are not, in themselves, a reason for a lower level of reminiscence. On the other hand, a possible negative phenomenon associated with reminiscence was revealed, namely, the stereotype linking reminiscence with unfulfilled old age. According to the research findings, shared memories further help to understand the values and needs of the elderly and the reminiscence interview itself can thus become a tool for...

Preventing burnout syndrome of short-term foster carers
Kaše, Adam ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Šťastná, Jaroslava (referee)
Burnout syndrome is a topic studied since the 1970s with increasing vigour and interest. This phenomenon, characterised in particular by mental and physical exhaustion, negative feelings related to the workload and environment, or general apathy, is primarily associated with workers in the helping professions. However, to date, there has not been a single research study on burnout in short-term foster carers. Therefore, the empirical part of the thesis presents research targeting the experiences of this vulnerable group in the Czech Republic, mapping the current status, risk factors and possible prevention of burnout syndrome. The research uses a qualitative design and the method of semi-structured interviews. Despite the methodological limitations of the study, the results show that despite minor variations in personal opinions, there is rather a consensus among the respondents regarding the perceived risks of burnout syndrome. This suggests that burnout syndrome in transient foster carers is a promising area for further research and a topic for stimulating discussion. Key words: burnout syndrome; foster family care; short-term foster carers
