Quality of life of Children in Orphanages with School and youth Detention Centres
TÖRÖKOVÁ, Tereza
The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis describes topics related to institutional care in the Czech Republic, quality of life, individual models and measurements. The conclusion of the theoretical thesis is devoted to the social worker in institutional care, what prerequisites he/she must meet and what is the fulfilment of his/her work. The aim of the practical part was to find out the quality of life of children and adolescents in children's homes with school and educational institutions. In order to fulfill the objective, a quantitative research strategy was selected and implemented on the basis of the standardized questionnaire KIDSCREEN-27. The research was conducted in 5 institutions located in the territory of the South Bohemia Region, the Vysočina Region and the Central Bohemia Region. A total of 35 respondents participated in the research. The data were subsequently analyzed in MS Excel charts. A total of 3 hypotheses were established. The first hypothesis examined whether physical activity has a positive effect on children's quality of life. Based on a comparison of individual results, the hypothesis was not confirmed. Hypothesis 2 looked at whether the children's friends, have an effect on their quality of life. This hypothesis was also not confirmed according to the results. The last hypothesis examined whether parents negatively affect children's quality of life. After comparing the results, it was found that the hypothesis was not confirmed. This bachelor thesis can serve the general public as well as the professional public, who in this way can gain insight into the issue of institutional education and get an overview of how children live in these institutions. The thesis is also a useful insight into this issue for the reason that not much is said about children's homes with schooling and educational institutions and not much research is conducted on it, as just for example on traditional children's homes.

The attitude of educators in children's homes at the end of their career
MIŇOVSKÁ VOCŮ, Hana
The aim of the work is to describe how educators at the end of their professional career perceive their work in a children's home. For this purpose, the principles of substitute care, especially the forms of institutional education, were described in the theoretical part. With regard to the target group of female informants, a separate sub-chapter was dedicated to the children's home. Because institutional education cannot fully replace family education, attention was also paid to the risks of institutional education, especially the psychological deprivation that children from orphanages are often exposed to. In the following subchapters, the specifics of the educator's work in a children's home and his risk of stress, which can be one of the many factors of burnout syndrome, were described. Therefore, attention was also paid to prevention. The creative part is processed in the form of a qualitative approach. Data obtained from semi-structured interviews were analyzed and then interpreted through open coding.

Attachement disorders predicted by ECR, case studies of teenager girls with addiction problems in institutional upbringing
Horváthová, Klára ; Libra, Jiří (advisor) ; Pešek, David (referee)

Dvořáková, Lucie ; Váchová, Alena (advisor) ; Blažková, Veronika (referee)
The thesis explores the attitudes of children in a selected residential school towards the issue of their placement and their experiences of substance abuse. The theoretical part presents the definition of the term addictive substances, including their division and prevention of use; children's home with school, discusses the reasons for the placement of children in this facility and prevention of risky behavior. The practical part presents an analysis of the reasons for the placement of children in a particular facility as well as an analysis of their experiences with addictive substances before their placement in the facility. The aim is to find out what attitude children placed in a children's home with school have to the issue of the reasons for their placement and to the use of addictive substances. On the basis of the evaluation, with the help of the analysis of the case files and interviews with the selected children and their teachers, a personal development programme for each participant, a prevention programme and a proposal for projects focused on addictive substances for the first and second grade of primary school are proposed. As a result of the investigation, it is found that the two areas (the analysis of the dossier and the narrative extracted from the interviews with the...

Comparison of Access of Workers of Children´s Home, Primary School and School Canteen Radenín to Children with Disabilities and to Children without Disabilities
ZHORNÁ, Michaela
The aim of this work was to map the activities of children's home workers in the care of children with disabilities and children without disabilities. The research set consisted of six staff members from the Children's Home, Primary School, and School Canteen Radenín, one of whom was a social worker who is an essential component in childcare. The research was carried out by qualitative research. A method of questioning was used to answer the research questions and a semi-structured interview was the technique. The data obtained from the interviews was evaluated by open coding and then breaking the codes into categories. Based on the research carried out, it has emerged that the education of children in a children´s home varies greatly, due to a visit to two types of schools when children come with different difficulty of tasks. There needs to be a difference in access to education for children with disabilities and children without disabilities. This brings me to the answer to the second research question, when workers in education with children with disabilities have to use certain specific aids to make it easier for children to work. Workers with specific aids not only encounter children with disabilities in education, but also in developing motor and skills in a boy with cerebral palsy. The work brings knowledge in the field of education of children with disabilities and the use of special aids when working with these children. The aids can be educational cards, which serve as an aid to the development of communication skills, or an auxiliary table for multiplication. It is clear from the research that an assistant educator is an indispensable component in working with children with disabilities because these children need individual care.

Preparation of Children for Leaving the Children's Home
BICEROVÁ, Markéta
This bachelor thesis called Preparing Children for Leaving the Children's Home deals with the preparation of children growing up in children's homes for their independent leaving of the institution and their preparation for life in general, on the part of the educators. In addition, this bachelor thesis is concerned with the life stories of children who have already left the children's home. The main goal of this work is to discover how children are prepared for their independent life and whether, from the children's point of view, this preparation on the part of the children's home has been sufficient. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part describes the institutional education and its legislative frame, the children's home, the rights and duties of the children placed there and the whole process of leaving the children's home. Finally, some projects supporting the children who leave the children's home are listed. The practical part of the thesis deals with researching the preparation of children for leaving the children's home, both from the educators' and the children's point of view. The research group consisted of nine educators working in unnamed children's homes in South Bohemia and four adults who grew up in a children's home. The research methods used were the method of qualitative research, the interview method and the technique of semi-structured interview. For evaluating the data the ATLAS.ti software was used, open coding was performed followed by data categorization. On the basis of this research, both the individual research questions and the goal of the work were answered. As emerged from the research, the individuals leaving the children's home just after reaching their full age or at a very young age have problems entering their independent life, mainly in the area of finance, housing, employment, integration into society and creating social relationships. In spite of the intensive preparation taking place in children's homes, it is difficult for the leaving individuals to succeed in the society at such a young age without any help of a close person, who could be helpful in solving problematic situations but also in solving everyday issues. The findings of this bachelor thesis can be used both by institutional and protective education workers and by the students of health and social studies and pedagogy. It could also be a useful aid for OSPOD workers and other specialists or the non-professional public who are interested in these issues.

Application of Supervision in School Facilities for the Performance of Institutional Education or Protective Education and in School Facilities for Preventive Educational Care
HELLEROVÁ, Kristýna
Supervision is considered a standard part of the professional growth of workers in the field of helping professions i.e., those who are in direct contact with people, their problems, and emotions at work. Supervision allows these workers to think about the quality of their work, increase their ability to reflect and self-reflect. The goal of supervision in specific facilities, but also in general, is the development of professionals and personal competencies of individual employees and teams. There is a methodological instruction for the provision of supervision for school facilities for the performance of institutional education or protective education and in school facilities for preventive educational care. Individual devices also have defined ways of personal support and professional development of workers. Supervision in school facilities is provided to pedagogical staff as part of work activities outside direct pedagogical activities. We divide the facilities into two groups according to where they fall, either under the Ministry of Education or under the region. Those facilities that fall under the region do not have to provide supervision to their employees. The aim of supervision is to improve the quality of multidisciplinary care for vulnerable minors, or persons under 19 years of age, placed in school facilities for institutional or protective education, minors, or adults until the end of secondary education, which is provided preventive educational care. The funds that facilities receive for their activities are normatively allocated, but their volume may not be sufficient to be used to financially ensure quality supervision in school facilities for institutional education or protective education and school facilities for preventive education. The research group consisted of employees of the mentioned facilities throughout the Czech Republic. The goal was achieved by using quantitative research, the method of a questionnaire using the Likert scale. The research showed that the most common form of supervision in these facilities is external supervision in the form of group and individual. Furthermore, it was found that the employees of these facilities are mostly satisfied with the supervision and its appearance in the facility. The data needed to process the hypotheses were analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics at a specified level of significance = 95%. Thanks to the elaboration of hypotheses in the research, it subsequently turned out that we cannot prove in the case of this research, that school facilities for institutional or protective education and school facilities for preventive educational care, which fall under the MŠMT, have a more positively evaluated supervision from employees than facilities that do not fall under the MŠMT, so this hypothesis was rejected, and the null hypothesis was accepted. In the next hypothesis, it was not significantly proven that the evaluation of the benefits of supervision is influenced by the employee's job position. In the case of the last hypothesis, again, it has not been proven that length affects the evaluation of the benefit of supervision. The results of this diploma thesis can be an inspiration for school facilities as a topic for a possible change or as a positive feedback on the supervision implemented in them in the facility. They can also be used by supervisors and other staff involved in implementing supervision in education. Finally, it will serve as an information material for students and other professional public who are interested in this issue.
