Current Trends in Business Practice Support Employees with Visual Impairment.
KUBEŠOVÁ, Eliška
The bachelor's thesis deals with people who are visually impaired and with current trends in support during their employment. The thesis aims at the analysis of the needs of people with visual impairments in connection with the issue of their employment, as employment and access to the labor market belong to basic human and civil right. People with visual impairments are limited in their access to information and independent mobility. The area of occupational rehabilitation, re-education, development of information and communication technologies, precisely these areas aim at the minimization and elimination of limits. At the beginning, the theoretical part describes who a person with a visual impairment is, and deals with the degrees and types of visual impairment. It analyses the specifications of congenital and acquired visual impairment, the possibilities of its compensation and, last but not least, its health and social impacts. Another section was dedicated to methods of education and professional training of people with visual impairments. In these sub-chapters, individual types of education are briefly explained, from pre-school, primary school and secondary school to university education and subsequent professional training. The last section of the theoretical part describes the work itself and also its importance for individuals with visual impairments. The sub-chapters of this section are devoted to the psychological aspects of work, legislative definition, human rights issues and of course to current trends in the employment of visually impaired people. The practical part is processed in the form of quantitative research. The data obtained from the survey are processed at the level of the first and the second level of classification. The results show that visually impaired people encounter most often a certain attitude of employers and employees based on prejudices against people with disabilities, with employers' fear of higher expenses when employing them. On the contrary, they perceive the most significant support from the family, the possibilities of using modern technologies, or assistive technologies, and in projects supporting the employability of the blind people.

Coordinated Rehabilitation in the Nursing Home
ZATLOUKALOVÁ, Taťána
The diploma thesis deals with the use of coordinated rehabilitation in a nursing home. The main goal of the thesis was to find out the possibilities and limits of providing coordinated rehabilitation in a nursing home from the perspective of members of a multidisciplinary team. In the theoretical part of the thesis, the basic concepts were defined. In the practical part, the main research question was answered: How do the members of the multidisciplinary team perceive the provision of coordinated rehabilitation in a nursing home? A qualitative research strategy, a questioning method and a semi-structured interview technique were chosen for the research survey. Data analysis was performed using elements of grounded theory. The research set consisting of 8 informants was selected through intentional selection and purposeful sampling. The research showed that the interviewed social workers are aware of coordinated rehabilitation, in contrast to the health and care workers, who perceive it only as medical rehabilitation. After clarifying the concept, these workers were also able to name and classify activities into individual components of coordinated rehabilitation. The research shows that informants perceive the improvement of care, provision of comprehensive care, effective cooperation of a multidisciplinary team, transmission of complete information about clients, provision of experts, education and expansion of the range of activities and therapies as possibilities for providing coordinated rehabilitation. As limits of the provision of coordinated rehabilitation, informants perceive the absence of legislative definition, which causes the lack of information about this concept, lack of funds and methodological procedures for coordinated rehabilitation, reluctance to cooperate, employee overload, lack of time and professional staff. The results of the research will serve as a basis for improving the quality of care provided using the concept of coordinated rehabilitation in a selected nursing home.
