Ethical Dilemmas of Social Worker in a Retirement Home
TONAROVÁ, Pavlína
The diploma thesis focuses on the ethical dilemmas of social workers in homes for the elderly. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis presents the professional bases for the research conducted in nursing homes. Theoretical chapters that result from the issue of old age, types of provided care, and examples of services offered to seniors are supplemented by the practical part. This is based on the experience of individual social workers, with whom semi-structured interviews were conducted. The essential factors in monitoring are recurring situations of social workers which they perceive as difficult in relationship with a client as well as the client´s relations to the environment and family. All this fundamentally affects an individual's satisfaction with the place where they must spend their late life.

The Importance of Care Services for Seniors Living at Home
ŠLEJHAROVÁ, Marta
This bachelor thesis focuses on the importance of care services for the seniors living in the home environment. The main objective was to find out how the needs of seniors are satisfied in connection with the provision of care service and to highlight the difference in the perception of the needs of seniors. The thesis consists of a theoretical part and a research part. The theoretical part is divided into four chapters. The first chapter deals with old age and more specifically with the demographics of aging, the definition of old age, the age breakdown of old age and changes in old age. The second chapter of the theoretical part deals with the needs of human beings and their classification. There are described biological, psychological, social and spiritual needs there. The third chapter deals with the relationship of the seniors and their families. It is divided into three sub-chapters: the seniors family and its functions, the assistance and the care for the seniors in the home environment and advantages and disadvantages associated with home care for the seniors. The fourth chapter deals with services for the seniors and care servises. The research part deals with the importance of care service for the seniors who live in a home environment. The main research question was: How are satisfied the needs of seniors in the connection with the provision of care service? The main research question was divided into four sub-questions: How are fulfilled the biological needs of seniors living in home environment in the connection with the provision of care service? How are fulfilled psychological needs of seniors living in a home environment in the relation with the provision of care service? How are fulfilled social needs of seniors living in a home environment in the relation with the provision of care service? How are fullfilled spiritual needs of seniors living in a home environment in the relation with the provision of care service?The last research question: "How are fullfilled spiritual needs of seniors living in a home environment in the relation with the provision of care service?", was evaluated in such a way that the the spiritual needs of informers with reduced mobility are not sufficiently fulfilled. Despite the will and the care of the nurses, this is not possible, either because of the workload of nurses or their education. Parsons do not manage to cover all the needs of seniors. There are cases where seniors emphasize the complete absence of spiritual service. There are often times when seniors would welcome more spiritual services. In conclusion, we can say that for the seniors the care service has the greatest importance in fulfilling their biological needs and also satisfies their psychological and social needs. The spiritual needs of seniors with reduced mobility are, according to the research, not fulfilled.

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.
