Stehlíková, Petra ; Pěnkava, Pavel (advisor) ; Dragomirecká, Eva (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the issue of people without a regular dwelling in terms of social service administration in Prague.

Social Exclusion Among The Homeless And Its Impact On Health
ZLATUŠKOVÁ, Vendula
The thesis topic ?Social exclusion among the homeless and its subsequent impact on health" provides the deeper understanding of the problematic regarding homeless people who are without family/social connections and often suffer from lack of social and health care. The theoretical part of the thesis called ?Current Status? elaborates on the study of the fundamental ideas and concepts In addition the thesis defines the objective and subjective factors of homelessness, health problematic and its determinants, trying to provide an insight into somatic and psychological complications, which are linked to the system of health care provided towards the homeless people. The aim was to detect and define the elements of social exclusion among the homeless and find their conditionality in relation to subjective health perception Basic data for the research were based on the following research questions: V1: What causes played a significant role in respondents becoming homeless? V2: How homeless people evaluate their current health? V3: How the homeless people perceive assistance to improve their situation? The subject of research part is the link between environmental (social) situation of selected group of people and their subjectively perceived health status. To determine the necessary data the qualitative method, semi-controlled interview technique supplemented by observation were used. The research was conducted in the St. Pauls shelter in České Budejovice. The interviews were done with 10 respondents and the results of the research are summarized in form of case studies divided into categories and presented according to the similarities/differences in the respondent?s claims. This work can be used as a basis for further research to quantify the social determinants of health associated with homelessness. I, together with the social worker of the St. Paul shelter, perceive lack of linking health and social services for the homeless. This issue should be further strengthened, so that eventually could be used to influence public policy in shaping the environment affecting our health.
