Homeless from the view of the Czech Republic Policy
PECKOVÁ, Petra
This bachelor thesis deals with the complicated issue of homeless people, their mutual relationship with the Police of Czech Republic from the perspective of police officers who are with the homeless people in a daily contact.Bachelor thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and empirical. Theoretical part formulates homelessness and sets out the factors that cause homelessness. Further it discusses the organizations and government bodies involved in this issue. Finally it deals with the situations in which police officers and homeless people come into contact with each other often. Empirical part that follows the theoretical part, constitutes a research. This section describes the assumptions and goals, as well as the research methods, research set and the results. In the conclusion of the bachlelor thesis there is a discussion that isdedicated to the found research results with the subsequent confirmation of the working hypothesis: the "basic expert training" of the police schools does not prepare the police officers sufficiently for the work with homeless people in theory and they get all their knowledge from practice, during the working process. On the contrary, the performed research contradicts the working hypothesis that the relationship between the Police and the homeless people is bad from the perspective of the police officers.

The possibility to apply the Leininger's model within the nursing care for homeless people
VLKOVÁ, Ludmila
The possibility to apply the Leininger's model within the nursing care for homeless people The thesis deals with the lifestyle of homeless people and subsequently also with the issue of nursing care for these people; such a care is a specific one due to their lifestyle. Next, the thesis works with the model by Madeleine Leininger, as well as with the model of Joyce Newman Giger and Ruth Davidhizar, which belongs to transcultural nursing sphere and is understood as the way how to overcome differences between the nursing subculture and homeless people subculture within the nursing process. Within the scope of the thesis, we have decided to research the possibility to apply the Leininger's model within the nursing care for homeless people, from the nurses' point of view, using the quantitative method, and the questionnaire technique. For the research purposes were set 5 goals: 1st Goal ? to find out what is the attitude of nurses to homeless people. 2nd Goal ? to inquire information from nurses related to the facts how is going the nursing care for homeless people. 3rd Goal ? to research, whether nurses from the selected hospitals may use the Leininger's model when nursing the homeless people. 4th Goal ? to make sure ourselves whether nurses are aware of the differences resulting from the lifestyle of homeless people. 5th Goal ? to search where, according to the opinion of nurses, are the homeless people going when leaving hospital to be ?home-nursed?. The goals were met. Hypothesis 1 ? that nurses appraise negatively the lifestyle of homeless people ? was proved. Hypothesis 2 ? that nursing care for homeless people is performed in the same way as in case of other clients ? was not proved. Hypothesis 3 ? that nurses of higher than secondary education do know the Leininger's model ? was proved. Hypothesis 4 ? that nurses consider the application of Leininger's model within the nursing care for homeless people useful ? was proved. Hypothesis 5 ? that nurses take into consideration differences in lifestyle of homeless people ? was proved. Hypothesis 6 ? that nurses do not know where the homeless people go when leaving hospitals to be ?home-nursed? ? was not proved. Analysing the gathered information there also resulted another Hypothesis 7 ? that nurses prefer application of the model by Joyce Newman Giger and Ruth Davidhizar prior to using the model by Madeleine Leininger within the nursing care for the homeless people; such a hypothesis was proved. However, I recommend a check of the hypothesis in the course of more goal-directed research. The output of the thesis related to the practice is the possibility to apply the found out findings in the nursing care for homeless people to minimize possible conflicts, as well as their application for the purposes of more respectable and purposeful work with the homeless people, which could be without any frustration feelings related to the given nursing care.

Public opinion on homelessness.
RUDOVÁ, Lucie
Abstract {--} Public opinion on homelessness The issue of homelessness became very relevant in the last year. At present, the number of people without home has been growing and a nation-wide problem comes into being which cannot be overlooked by the society. As well as other problems of the current world, also the issue of homelessness is one of the popular mediaʼs topics. The homelessness as extreme expression of the poverty and social exclusion is, all the time, an issue neglected not only by the specialists and the state, but also by the lay public. For this reason it is necessary to address the public and first of all to inform the public sufficiently of the given issue. Only based on the knowledge and understanding the people will be able to treat this issue thoroughly and in a thought-out way and they will not avert the eyes from this problem. The target of my thesis is to evaluate the attitude of public to the issue of homelessness. In connection with it two hypotheses were postulated: 1) The citizens of younger age (15-30 years) have a more tolerant attitude to the issue of homelessness than citizen of older age (31-70 let). 2) The women have a higher understanding for the aid to homeless persons then men. A quantitative research was made among persons in the age group of 15-70 years residing permanently in České Budějovice and surroundings, in the form of a controlled questionnaire applying the method of the accidental choice of the respondents. The whole research was performed in the hospital in České Budějovice under the supervision of the medical staff and partly also through internet. The research file consisted of 60% respondents. The questions in the questionnaire were directed on establishment of the attitude of the public to the issue of the persons without homes. On the questions formulated in this determined way the total attitude of the respondents to homeless people was estabilshed as well as the differences in the attitude to the homeless people depending on age and sex of the respondent. The results of the research part of the thesis really proved the highly negative attitude of citizens to homeless people, however, the persons of younger age (15-30 years) showed a higher tolerance rate then citizens of older age (31-70 years). The women also showed a higher extent of altruism then men. Based on these results the hypotheses postulated in advance were confirmed unambiguously and with them also the target of the thesis.

Social dilemma of male homelessness
TICHÁ, Jana
Diploma thesis is focused on the issue of male homelessness in České Budějovice. In theoretical parts I described mostly general causes of homelessness and other specific problems associated with life of the homeless. I targeted the impediments in return to the common life, such as difficulties in searching the employment, health state of this population and also a barrier in communication with organizations and institutions, which would facilitate their return to the common life. In the next parts I described services available to the homeless persons to manage their difficult situation in living in the Czech Republic. In relation to the social services I described fundamental legislature relevant to rendition of these services. Statistical data from count homeless in Prague and Brno were marginally enclosed to the theoretical parts. In practical parts I concentrated on usage of alcohol and other habit forming substances by the homeless persons, and on their going through an execution of punishment in former times. Further I focused on the causes of their hard life situation. All information for this research I obtained from the clients, who use the services of sanctuary house of St. Pavel in České Budějovice.

Also in our country the subjects exist which are becoming either volunteer or under the pressure of circumstances socially outcasted. It is livehood of individuals without home who are not able to solve their situation adequately without assistance of others. Hence they search various forms of social remedy. The term homelessness denotes summation of dealings and actions, causes and consequences which leads to loss of upcountry (home), life surenesses or more precisely to social preclusion.
