Evalution of the media image of seniors in the town of Čáslav
MATOUŠKOVÁ, Dita
This diploma thesis deals with how old people are presented in the media, and how this media image is then perceived by other age groups. The aim of the work was to find out how the inhabitants of the town of Čáslav evaluate the media image of seniors in society. In the theoretical part of the work I focus on explaining the concepts of aging and old age. Since this work deals with seniors, I consider it an important explanation of the basic concept of senior, and I add to this the sciences that deal with the process of aging and old age, here gerontology and geriatrics. I also mention stereotypes and myths associated with old age. In the next part of the theoretical work, I explain the concepts of media image, mass media, their division and function. I also focused on the description of the current picture of old age in society, as well as on the impact of the media on the public. In the last part of the theoretical work, I described topics related to seniors and the policy of aging. I also describe the active aging of the population and the strategic documents and action plans that relate to aging. To achieve the goal of the work, a quantitative research strategy was used, where the method of data collection was performed by questioning on the basis of their own questionnaire. The research group consisted of residents of the town of Čáslav, in the age range from 18 to 64 years. In total, I received questionnaires from 273 respondents. The obtained data were processed using descriptive statistics in MS Excel, the subsequent evaluation of hypotheses took place in SPSS, where the Chi-square test or goodness-of-fit test was used, and also using frequencies. I believe that this research could open up further opportunities for discussion about depicting the real image of seniors to the lay and professional public. The obtained results could trigger a social debate focused on the ethical aspects of the current modern way in which the media inform about topics related to seniors. Furthermore, the work could help uncover possible new ways of stereotyping and describe whether or not the media support prejudices about a large and growing group of seniors.

HANÁK, Radek
This undergraduate thesis describes the role of social worker helping elder citizens in debt. The most common cause of debt for seniors is their will to help to close relatives. Senior citizens are often victims of scammers who force them to buy unnecessary goods. Seniors often do not realize their financial situation and they fall into debt. If a distrainor is involved, it is a race with time due to the risk of loss of property and real estates. There is a chance for a return to peaceful life thanks to the Insolvency law as their debts can be eliminated after a 3 year period. There are strict conditions to fulfill hence it is suitable to discuss the situation with social workers specialised in the field of debts.

Social Worker as a Member of the Multidisciplinary Team providing Zootherapy
BERNÁ, Kateřina
The goal of this thesis was to map the possibilities of a social worker´s participation in multidisciplinary zootherapeutics. I was interested in whether the social workers are able to define the multidisciplinary team itself and whether they are able to choose which coworkers in their facilities are placed in such teams. Multidisciplinary team is hugely discussed topic in all fields beginning with health services. The thesis is divided into two parts into the theoretical part and the part dealing with the research. Theoretical part is then divided into next three subparts. In the first one I escribed basic definitions of social work, role and content of social worker´s work according to law n. 108/2006 about social work and specifics of social work with seniors. I devoted the second subpart to the definition and different kinds of zoothereapeutics, to focus groups and to its benefits. In the last subpart I did a summary about all workers who belong into the multidisciplinary team and their activities according to chosen laws. In the research part I tried to map the social worker´s involvement in providing zootherapeutics. I stated two main research questions. In the thesis I used approach based on quality, the method of asking questions and the technique of half structuralized interview. The interview contained 25 opened questions which were supplied by subquestions. The research showed that in the chosen facilities the social worker figures rather as a coordinator of zootherapeutics, communicates with zootherapist, organizes terms and chooses subjects that are suitable for the zootherapeutics. I also found out that the most often used type of zootherapeutics is a group form of dog therapy. The social worker participates during the therapy only minimally because it is mostly organized by the therapist himself / herself. The thesis may be used as a feedback for social facilities using zootherapeutics and also as a source for lectures at the university.
