The Quality of Life of Social Workers in the Prachatice Area
SVĚCHOTOVÁ, Marie
This bachelor thesis is focused on the Guality of life of social workers in the district of Prachatice. The work is divided into the theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part, I dealt with the issue of quality of life, its definition and the factors affecting the quality of life. Furthermore, the personality of the social worker, including his role, competencies, burnout syndrome, supervision, residential facilities and the target group of clients were considered. The aim of the work was to find out the subjectively perceived quality of life of social workers providing social services in a residential facility in the district of Prachatice. Also, I pointed out what factors affect the quality of life. In connection with the mentioned goal, a hypothesis was established: H1: The subjectively perceived quality of life of social workers providing social services in a residential facility depends on the target group of clients with whom they work. In the practical part, a quantitative research survey is performed using a semi-structured questionnaire of my own design. The research group consisted of a total of 34 social workers who provide social services in residential facilities in the district of Prachatice. Data evaluation and hypothesis testing were performed by the Chi-square test of independence. The research survey showed that the subjectively perceived quality of life of social workers in the district of Prachatice does not depend on the target group of clients with whom they work. A significant relationship between individual target groups and the perceived quality of life has not been demonstrated. The results of the research could be a source of information for employers providing social services in a residential facility in the district of Prachatice. At the same time, they could serve as a basis for other social facilities, which, thanks to the information obtained, could focus attention on more effective care for their social workers and thus ensure a better quality of the working environment.
