HOLUBOVÁ, Monika
The thesis deals with babysitters´ conceptions of leisure time, their time perception during babysitting and their perception of how children and their parents evaluate this time. The aim was to find out how babysitters perceive their leisure time and the time they spend by babysitting and how is their understanding of how children whom they babysit perceive this time and how it is perceived by their parents. The theoretical part explains the circumstances of carers (babysitters), families and parenting and last but least leisure time. The chosen topics are supposed to be those that are necessary for the presentation of babysitting as a complex matter.

It focuses on the carers´ perception of their leisure time and what difficulties are connected with babysitting as well as how carers (babysitters) spend their time during babysitting and how they think children would like to spend it and how they think parents´ conception is.

Long-term carers as clients of social work
RYSKOVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor´s thesis deals with the subject of long-term carers. It aims to discover whether long-term carers consider themselves to be clients of social work and what kind of help they expect to receive from a social worker. The theoretical part of the thesis is based on scientific literature and publications which deal with the topic of long-term caregiving. They are mostly literature or publications containing terms such as formal care, informal care, caregiver motivation, caregiver burden or social work, social worker. I chose the strategy of qualitative research, namely the method of a semistructured interview. The interview I have led with informants consisted of 11 questions. The purpose of these interviews was to find out who a social worker is according to longterm carers, whether they consider themselves to be clients of a social worker and what they expect from him/her. After obtaining the necessary information the interviews were transcribed and analysed through clustering. It ensued from the results of my research that long-term caregivers could not define a social worker nor his/her duties. Social workers were often confused with carers or social service workers. It was further suggested that long-term carers considered themselves to be social workers despite not knowing what his/her work includes. They expect a social worker to help them with taking care of a close person, ensuring hygiene and relieve a close person being taken care of of his/her pain.

Within the framework of the international comparison, the author analyses and makes a survey of the problems accompanying this process. The work does not contain only the conclusions the author came to based on the research in chosen countries (Czech Republic and Poland) but also presents suitable recommendations how the problem of gaining independence of clients of the alternative education care can be solved. The introductory part is applied to theoretical solutions, the international comparisons and examples of a good practice abroad. The author follows opinions of different experts in causalities of the problem from the influence of the biological family through socialization of the clients of the education care to the very problems of the institutional care. He presents these opinions subsequently in the context. In the methodological and research parts the author tries to answer the cardinal question: "What is way the clients of the alternative education care are prepared in order to gain independence?" Within the framework of the qualitative design of the research, the author is mediating the readers the real situation which the clients gaining independence and their carers are...

Care for Seniors at Home
TROJÁKOVÁ, Jitka
This thesis deals with problems of taking care about elderly people in domestic surroundings. The work gives an account of experience of people who look after an elderly person in domestic surroundings. The thesis consists of two parts. The first theoretical part is divided into five chapters. In Chapter One the concepts of old age and aging are explained. Next the needs of old age are discussed. Then changes brought about by aging are summarized. Chapter Two explains the importance and role of family in old people's lives. The concept of carer is specified, mainly who can become a carer and what conditions this person should meet. Next, principles of caring for elderly people at home and problems that might arise are discussed. In addition the care for the carer is discussed, what a caring person should do to make their situation easier. Chapter Three gives an overview of support equipment that can be used at home. Chapter Four deals with legal measures related to caring for an elderly relative at home and with the concept of attendance allowance - who is entitled to it, how the level of necessary support is assessed and how much the benefit is. Next equipment and mobility benefits are explained. Last chapter gives a summary of social services that carers can make use of. The other empirical part of this thesis focuses on practical experience of people who care for an elderly person at home. The main question was "What are the factors affecting the care for an elderly person at home?" This question consisted of four partial questions "What does caring for an elderly person include?" "What does a day of a caring person look like?" "What makes caring easier?" "What social services do the carer and the elderly person use?" I choose the method of qualitative research for collecting data. I asked questions and used the technique of semi structured interview. The research group represented four people caring for an elderly relative at home. Each carer had been looking after the elderly relative for at least six months, each elderly person was receiving second level attendance benefit and each carer was willing to cooperate. The information I obtained was processed by the cluster method and then evaluated on the basis of common elements and lastly divided according the four partial research questions. The research answered all the questions. The carers and elderly people were relatives. The carers provided all sort of activities basic health treatment, household chores, handling official issues. Next I focused on health care. It has turned out that all the elderly people except one have a general practitioner in the place where they live and see them according to their current state of health in the accompaniment of the carer. To see a specialist, they usually have to travel about 90 kilometres. The next research question referred to the daily routine of the carer. The research has shown that each day of a carer is the same and that all activities are tailored to the needs of the elderly person. The carers do not have any free time for themselves. As for support equipment for homecare. The next question was whether and if so what social services do the carers use. The research has shown that the carers do not use any social services even though they know this possibility exists. The carers knew about attendance allowance from social workers, general practitioners or colleagues. They use this allowance in different ways for buying medicine, support equipment. In two cases the carers put the allowance money aside. All the respondents know about the mobility allowance, only one of them knows about the allowance for special aids.

The Importance of Home Care Service in a Case of Seniors with Mental Disabilities (Neurosis and Depression)
DOHNALOVÁ, Helena
I maintain a position, that large disruptions in the mental state of the late old people are rooted in a loss of physical motion as well as they stem from vast absence of social contacts. Hand in hand with it comes an evanescence of seniors{\crq} ability to enjoy pleasure and happiness. In their declining years they are very reliant on the other people{\crq}s help. I was looking for proofs of how much the household help is only a paid service, or how much carers fulfil missing contacts and communication with the outside world for seniors.
