Sexuality in Old Age from Perspective of Seniors and from Perspective of Social Workers
JECHOVÁ, Helena
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to find what the seniors and social workers think about the senior sexuality. The present state talks about the necessity of sexual activity in old age, its significance, about changes in this field and how we can satisfy this desire. Individual chapters deal with needs in the old age, the sexual activity of seniors and the possibility of saturation in facilities of social services. In the connection with the aim of the thesis, there were chosen quality research, the method of questioning and the technique of semi-structured questionnaire. The given results were processed into bunches and graphically illustrated through the thought maps. The research sample consisted of 2 sets. The first set contained the group of 8 seniors in the age of 60 and more who use residential services, concretely in the retirement home in Sušice. The second set contained three social workers who work in this concrete retirement home. Both sets were chosen by the method of deliberate choice. The thesis shows that there is a decline in sexual activity with increasing age, but the desire after sexual activity can also edure. The biggest influence has the loss of the absence of the partner. In the terms of sexuality in retirement homes, there is not given much time for working with this phenomenon despite the positive attitude of social workers to this topic which is considered to be a natural part of life. There also appear some problems connected with this topic occasionally. The benefit of this thesis is the examination of opinions which seniors have about their own sexuality which can help the social workers to satisfy their needs
