Case management and social work with single parents
HRONOVÁ, Veronika
This thesis focuses on case management and social work with single parents. Its aim is to describe the utilization of the case management method (or its elements) in working with single parents. To obtain answers, the following research questions were formulated: "How is the Case management method practically implemented within services collaborating with single parents?", "What are the benefits of using this method (or its elements) in working with single parents?", and "What barriers exist to the utilization of case management in working with single parents?" The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical, or research, parts. The theoretical part defines the significance and history of family, single parenthood, its needs, and forms. In the second part of the theory, I focus on the significance and content of case management, its history, classification, and utilization. For the practical part, the method of interviewing was selected as part of qualitative research, using a semi-structured interview technique. A total of 15 interviews were conducted with professionals from organizations working with families, single parents in the Central Bohemian Region, or directly in the position of a case manager within the Czech Republic. In conclusion, the results of the research can be summarized and the research question "How is the case management method implemented in practice within the services cooperating with single parents" can be answered based on interviews with communication partners in such a way that the case management method is still not widely known and the job position of a case manager it is not common in services working with families and single parents. Those workers who know the method use it most often when evaluating and mapping the client's situation, when coordinating support and during case conferences. The workers see profit, but also on the client's side, who can use an individual approach and "tailor-made" help, according to them, he also has the option of choosing help and is supported in taking responsibility for his life, which, among other things, limits the emergence of the client's dependence on support or worker. Regarding Research Question 2 - How is the use of this method (or its elements) beneficial in working with single parents? It follows from the statements of the workers that those workers who are familiar with the method perceive it as beneficial for their work, for several reasons. One of the main reasons is to reduce the burden of deciding on the procedure for solving the client's situation, since the solution to the situation is sought with the active contribution of the client and collaborating organizations. This is related to another benefit perceived by communication partners, namely the reduction of the risk of errors. Another benefit, according to communication partners, is the establishment of close cooperation with support institutions in the region and the creation of a support network. Communication partners also perceive the feeling of more meaningful work with a greater and longer-term effect on the client's side as a bonus. From the communication partners' answers to Question 3 - What prevents the use of case management when working with single parents? it turned out that the expansion of case management is hindered by a lack of time for individual work with the client caused by an excess of other work and a lack of knowledge and information about the possibilities of use and benefits.

Subjective evaluation of the life satisfaction of clients of the case management program in the organization SANANIM z.ú.
Vejrychová, Lucie ; Fidesová, Hana (advisor) ; Šťastná, Lenka (referee)
Backgound: Case management began to develop in the Czech Republic in 1995 at the level of regional projects. Indicated clients are persons who are unable to resolve their situation on their own, persons who have experienced a social decline and persons with a dual diagnosis. Studies show positive effects of case management, and in the area of psychosocial functioning there is a need to focus on the magnitude of effects and the range of change over time. Studies further show that positive effects in people with a dual diagnosis are achieved only in the case of very intensive case management, and clinical case management has good results in the area of alcohol and drug use. The study follows on from the project "Case management for mentally ill and socially excluded persons" and its results (1st and 2nd wave of the questionnaire survey). Aim: The main aim was to describe the development of changes in subjective life satisfaction among clients of the case management program over a longer period of time. Methods: The study is designed as a quantitative questionnaire survey (this is the 3rd wave of the questionnaire survey). The Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (authors J. Fahrenberg, M. Myrtek, J. Schumacher and E. Brähler) was used in a modified version and data analysis was carried out with the help...

case management in municipalities
HORNÁTOVÁ, Zuzana
The bachelor thesis deals with case management, which is a process of coordinated cooperation between the client and the case manager. The aim of the thesis is to find out whether the municipalities with extended competence in South Bohemia have information about the benefits of case management in municipalities. The theoretical part is based on the study of literature related to the topic and is focused on the definition of terms such as case management, case management models, case manager, social work in municipalities. Furthermore, topics such as networking, case conferencing, confidentiality, community planning and health and social care are explained. The practical part of the bachelor thesis is devoted to the evaluation of the research questions through a qualitative research strategy. The necessary data was collected through interviews with social workers from different municipalities in South Bohemia based on the recommendations of the previous communication partner. I categorised and subsequently analysed the collected material using the open coding method. On the basis of these steps it was possible to evaluate the aim of the bachelor thesis and to draw a conclusion. From the result of the research, it can be concluded that workers in municipalities in South Bohemia have only theoretical information about case management, but are aware of the importance of coordinated cooperation, which they do to a limited extent. With one exception, where the municipality uses case management in social work after prior training and increasing the number of staff. The results obtained could be used in practice by social workers in municipalities that are considering introducing case management into their social strategies.
