NOVÁKOVÁ, Vendula
The bachelor´s thesis deals with the role of a social worker in a complex care of autistic people. The main goal of the thesis is to describe some methods, techniques and attitudes used in a context of social work and the role of a social worker. The intermediate objective is to map some worker´s experience concerning the complex care of autistic people. The role of a social worker within the framework of a multidisciplinary team, some methods, techniques and attitudes used in a complex care of autistic people have been found via the research questions. The bachelor´s thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. There are defined some basic terms: autism, social worker, social work and a multidisciplinary team in the theoretical part. Autism and its diagnostics is more specified for better understanding. That gives us opportunity to familiarise with the contributory organisation Domov Kopretina Černovice where the research strategy is placed. There are also introduced and described some techniques and methods used in a complex care of autistic people in the theoretical part. The practical part consists of a research using a qualitative research strategy, methods of questioning and semi-structured interview techniques. The research group consists of ten communicative partners who belong to the multidisciplinary team taking care of the autistic children in the contributory organisation Domov Kopretina, Černovice. Within the framework of the research we´ll learn about an educational programme in a special primary school and practical school applying in Domov Kopretina, Černovice. The research has shown that the job description of a social worker consists of social agenda tackling in Domov Kopretina, Černovice. Also the other members of the multidisciplinary team see the role of a social worker in the administrative sphere instead of immediate social care of autistic people. The social worker is also regarded as an important member of the team because he/she has the earliest opportunity to get in touch with the client and consequential coordinated rehabilitation that means the acceptance the client to join the organisation.

The theoretical part describes sleep as a physiological process and its individual stages, the most frequent sleep disorders and sleeplessness. In addition, this part accentuates the diagnostics and examination of sleep disorders, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment and the Ten Rules of Sleep Hygiene. Two objectives were set in the practical part. The first objective was to ascertain how the clients of the retirement home run by the subsidised organisation Domov pro seniory Třebíč - Manž. Curieových, p.o. were informed about sleep disorders, in particular about their causes and treatment and the sleep hygiene. The second objective was to ascertain what the sleep environment of the clients looked like. The objectives were attained through qualitative research. The selected questioning method involved the technique of a semi-directed interview with ten clients and ten nurses. The research was conducted from 3 January to 14 January 2011. After the processing and evaluation of case studies it has been ascertained that nine of ten clients are not informed about sleep disorders. Five of ten clients are not informed about the causes of sleep disorders. Seven of ten clients are not informed about the treatment of sleep disorders and ten clients do not know the Ten Rules of Sleep Hygiene. The research has shown that ten clients are satisfied with the sleep environment and the temperature in the sleeping room. Nine of ten clients are satisfied with their bed and sufficient darkness for sleep. Based on the semi-directed interviews it has been ascertained that six of ten nurses are informed about sleep disorders. Ten nurses know the causes and treatment of sleep disorders. Nine of ten nurses know the Ten Rules of Sleep Hygiene. Ten nurses think that the clients have sufficient darkness for sleep and are satisfied with their bed. This bachelor thesis will serve as a feedback for the retirement home, allow extension of both the lay and expert public awareness of the given issue and may be useful for the students of assisting professions.
