Senior population awareness on the social services offer in the Horažďovice region
UŠIAKOVÁ, Dagmar
Senior population awareness on the social services offer in the Horažďovice region Old age is accompanied by a whole range of involutional morphological and functional changes. The involution rate is individual, but there are identical, typical age troubles the frequent consequences of which is a reduced self-sufficiency in elderly people. Seniors represent a specific group of social services users. The essential prerequisite for adequate utilization of social services by seniors is a sufficient degree of awareness of the character and type of services available. In the context of the state social policy resources are directed to help people in bad social situations to compensate defects in the market system. The number of facilities providing social services in the Horažďovice region is rather low. At social services community planning seniors were defined as citizens whose needs should be given greater attention, especially social services development is essential. Therefore the objective of this thesis is to determine the level of senior population awareness on services provided. The quantitative sociological research was used to accomplish the aim. The method used to collect relevant data was the questionnaire technique. Questionnaires were distributed to seniors living in the town of Horažďovice and its vicinity. The return rate of the questionnaires was 55%. The outcomes show that the level of awareness in seniors living in the town is high and this is lower at smaller places. It should be noted that the awareness level often results from informal information transfer among the elderly themselves, there is no official source of information accessible to seniors living in villages. The research investigated the influence of the seniors´ place of residence, their age and their increased assistance demands on the level of their awareness. The results indicated that the largest effect has the residence location (town-village), differences within the group of younger and older seniors, self-sufficient and socially weak seniors were not essential in terms of the awareness level. The outcomes of the thesis may help social services providers plan community services development in the region.
