The Analysis of necessity of volunteers in social health sphere
VERNEROVÁ, Barbora
A topic of the bachelor thesis is Analysis of the need of volunteers in the health and social area. The thesis has been focused on a volunteering in the former district of Teplice (hereinafter Teplice), thus in the region which the author comes from. A theoretical part is focused on a clarification of terms such as a volunteering, volunteers, volunteer centers and programs, a health and social area and on the characteristics of the Teplice region itself. Through the research the author of the bachelor thesis tries to find out a range of interest in volunteers and their activities in the mentioned area. The other goal is to discover a measure of the need of volunteers in the health and social area in the territory of Teplice. The author ascertains the measure of the need in facilities which cooperate with the volunteers as well as in the facilities which would like to involve them. The author also focuses on the reasons of the disregard for volunteers in the addressed facilities. To work up the thesis there was used as a research method the interrogation method, a technique of the questionnaire. A pilot study was also a part of the thesis. Information about a cooperation of the Volunteer Center in Ústí nad Labem with facilities in Teplice were obtained through the use of a semicontrolled interview with center employees. A part of the pilot study was also sending a questionnaire to five respondents, thereby the author verified the clarity of questions. The survey addressed 45 facilities in Teplice, 35 facilities participated actively. Three hypotheses were appointed in the reseasrch. The first hypothesis ``There is an interest in volunteers in facilities operating within the health and social area{\crqq} was confirmed by the research results. The second hypothesis ``A number of volunteers active in the Teplice region is lower than the need of the facilities operating in that region in the health and social area{\crqq}, was also confirmed. Just as the last hypothesis was confirmed as well {\clqq}Some facilities do not know where and how to get the volunteers{\crqq}. The research showed that the volunteering is little advertised and organized in the Teplice region. Thus it is necessary for the municipality, facilities as well as volunteers focus more on activities in this area. Then it was pointed to the possibility of establishing a coordination center in Teplice, which would certainly help not only a promotion and organization of the volunteering, but also to its quality improvement and extension of an offer of volunteer activities.
