Family involvement in the care of a senior house client
ROHOVÁ, Andrea
Bachelors thesis is called family involvement in the care of a senior house client. As a main aim, I have determined whether family members are involved in the entire process of home for the elderly and are sufficiently informed. Then I looked specifically at how they are involved in the process of the home care or at least in the care of a relative. In the bachelor thesis I have entered two main research questions. The first question deals with the way in which family members of clients are involved in the care and life of selected clients of homes for the elderly. The second question examines the ideas of family members of selected clients about their involvement in the care of seniors. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and empirical part. The theoretical part has three main branches. In the first one, I dedicate to a senior and his age, aging and characteristic changes in old age. In the second branch, I deal with his family. Primarily with the types of families, functions, intergenerational coexistence and family co-operation with institutional care. In the last branch, I specifically describe a home for the elderly as a social service. I also mention the rights and responsibilities of the senior in the facility and the activities of a social worker in a home for the elderly. For the empirical part, I chose a qualitative research. I surveyed the data through narrative interviews with family members and semi-structured interviews with social workers. The research involved 5 family members and 5 social workers. I have processed my data using an open coding. The results show that family members are more involved in the care of their relative than in the process of the whole facility. The cause is mainly time and workload. The bachelor thesis can serve as an informative material for social workers in homes for the elderly. Or even for families who have a relative in a home for the elderly, as a reflection on whether there is a need to cooperate more with this social service.
