Use of Sociotherapy in Social Services
NEDBALOVÁ, Aneta
The theoretical part of the work consists of 3 chapters, which relate to social work with the elderly, aging and old age and the periodization of old age. The following chapters are focused on socio therapy, namely its definition, goals, stages, clients, the role of the socio therapist, methods and techniques. The last chapter deals with homes for the elderly and selected socio therapies (zoo therapy, art therapy, reminiscence therapy), which are suitable for the elderly in the age 65+. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to find out how socio therapy is used in social services. These research questions were identified: HVO: How is provided the socio therapy within social services? DVO1: What is the experience of social workers with the provision of socio therapy in social services? DVO2: How do social workers perceive socio therapy compared to other methods used? In the practical part, qualitative research, the method of questioning and the technique of semi-structured interview were chosen. The informants were selected by deliberate selection using the purpose sampling method. The research was carried out in February 2022 in homes for the elderly located in the Jindřichův Hradec district. The research group included seven social workers and one activation worker. Data analysis was performed using open coding. According to opinions of the informants, socio therapy is an effective and used method that has a comprehensive positive effect on the elderly. It allows clients to adapt to new environment, regain their skills and learn new, meaningfully fill their free time, maintain contact with the surroundings, etc. The research also showed that informants consider activation and leisure activities to be a part of socio therapy. The bachelor thesis has an informative significance about the use of socio therapy in homes for the elderly. In the future, it can provide social workers and social science students with insight into whether socio therapy is an effective and preferred method.

Some gender aspects in the sociotherapeutical process
HUŇOVÁ, Jana
This thesis deals with the issues gender aspects in the socio-therapeutic process. The objective is to describe the behaviour of clients in the socio-therapeutic process in terms of gender aspects. During an analysis of gender issues, this thesis is based on the concept of gender as a socially and culturally conditioned construct occurring through social interactions depending on a particular context of life. Post-modern gender-sensitive social work rejects the idea of both female and male ?nature?", which should result in specific male and female models of social work practice. Social therapy, in terms of approaches utilizing the therapeutic potential of the social environment, as part of social work can be viewed through the same gender lens as social work, and thus categorize those gender aspects that are topical in social work in general. The empirical part is based on qualitative research methods. To obtain relevant data, the technique of non-standardized depth interviews with selected clients and the technique of involved observation were used. The research confirmed the existence of gender aspects in the socio-therapeutic process in the environment of a particular monitored community. Gender aspects were present in the interviewee?s views or in the behaviour of questioned clients, both male and female, from the monitored community and also in the approach of therapists and therapist in the monitored facility. The results of the qualitative research can serve as the basis of any quantitative research that could be aimed at studying the relationship between gender-sensitive environment of a community of people with mental illness and the success of social therapy. Another area of quantitative research could be seen in the study of differences in the clients? perception of men and women in the performance of their professional roles and social therapists.

Health and social services in carehome for elderly people in Linz Austria
KŘENKOVÁ, Vladimíra
The thesis deals with the level of health and social services provided in a home for the elderly in the town of Linz in Austria and further with the comments on their provision. In the theoretical part, the basic knowledge and assumptions for the provision of care to the elderly are described along with an analysis of important areas of the problematic of aging and old-age as a phenomenon. I described here also the conditions for providing social services in a particular facility. In the empiric part of this thesis, the research result, the set goals, hypotheses and discussion on the theme related to the problematic of my work are worked out. The aim of the thesis was to find out the conditions for providing health and social services in the home for the elderly, to find out satisfaction of the clients in the particular facility and opinions of the facility´s staff on the quality and extent of the care provided to the elderly. In connection with the aim of this thesis, hypotheses concerning satisfaction of the clients with the care of own person have been set. Further on, concerning satisfaction with the offer of social-therapeutic services. The third hypothesis related to the staff´s opinion on social- therapeutic services in the home. The last hypothesis was related to satisfaction of the staff with further education of the staff within the home for the elderly. While the first two hypothesizes that assumed satisfaction of the clients of the home for the elderly were confirmed, the hypothesis setting up the assumption that the home´s staff will evaluate the quality of the social-therapeutic services positively was not confirmed. The last hypothesis that the staff, according to their opinion, has good conditions for further education within the home for the elderly was then also confirmed. I used quantitative research in my thesis. Questionnaires were chosen as the data collection technique. The questionnaires results are then assessed in the text and in the graphs. I think that the goal I have chosen in my thesis was fulfilled, according to my opinion and this thesis can be used as a demonstration of care provided to the elderly abroad. The thesis can be also used as inspirational material for the social care providers for the elderly in this country.
