Disablement in consequence of physical handicap od supporting and motor system in České Budějovice county in 2007
KOHOUTOVÁ, Danuše
Disability is considered in our environment to be not only work ability limitation resulting in the loss of income and reducing the opportunities of economic activities, but also to include a social aspect. One of the most frequent causes of disabilities is the loss or reduction of capability to perform systematic gainful activities due to the musculoskeletal system impairment. Issues of health evaluation are very important especially with regard to providing certain connection between the assessment of health state and work ability in relation to the capability of job assignments and evaluation of preserved work ability. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to investigate a group of citizens applying for disability pension due to the musculoskeletal system impairment in České Budějovice District in 2007 and consequently to evaluate the impact of age, physical work and education on the number of such applicants. Three hypotheses have been established: 1. People applying for disability pension approval due to the musculoskeletal system impairment are mostly elderly people more than 55 year old, 2. People applying for disability pension approval due to the musculoskeletal system impairment are mostly people having manual labour, and 3. People applying for disability pension approval due to the musculoskeletal system impairment are usually of lower education level. To obtain necessary information, I have chosen a quantitative research, the method of secondary and content analysis of data. Selected sample from the basic group of population has been chosen using a method of random selection. All information has been sourced from written documents without the necessity of personal interviewing with observed people. Analysis and evaluation of data obtained have shown that the first hypothesis was not confirmed since the applicants for disability pension due to the musculoskeletal system impairment were not over the age of 55. The second and third hypotheses have been confirmed unambiguously. 84.8% of observed applicants work manually and 79.73% of observed applicants have lower level of education. Regarding the results of the research survey, it would be interesting and beneficial to focus on investigating the disability of these groups of applicants in relation of their social situation and job market engagement.
