KAVKOVÁ, Adriana

The seniors assess their existing life at this age - especially they are considering whether they have experienced life as they imagined; they look for the results they have left behind and they evaluate their mistakes that they have made on the their life road. The bachelor thesis focuses on the retrospective view of seniors´ lifes. Support for the chosen topic is the issue of old age and aging; the starting point is Erikson's concept of old age, especially the space of the eighth and ninth age and their developmental tasks. Furthermore, the concept of quality of life is introduced. The practical part focuses on the life stories of our respondents. It focuses on mapping the events that they consider as the most important in their life; which events they evaluate as valuable and positive, but also if there is an event or something they regret.

The History and Present of Incidence of Multiple Sclerosis with the focus on the quality of life of MS sufferers.
RUSŇÁKOVÁ, Magdalena
This thesis deals with the topic of history and current situation of Multiple Sclerosis with the focus on the quality of people with this disease. The following objectives were set for the thesis: firstly to find out how multiple sclerosis influences the quality of life of individuals, secondly to analyse how much information about the organisation of care available to MS patients in the Czech Republic which has influence on quality of their life, and lastly to compare and contrast differences in diagnosing and treatment between the years of 1970 and 2016. To reach the set objectives the method of qualitative research was employed. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews with individuals with multiple sclerosis. The data was then further coded and categorized. As the key discovery of my work I consider the low knowledge of MS patients about the organisation of care for MS patients i.e. MS centres, SMS club, rehabilitation, physiotherapy, spa treatments and other possibilities of improving the quality of their life. Being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis has a negative impact on the quality of life of patients, especially when the symptoms start manifesting, therefore prevention, positive attitude and an effort to maintain or improve their health play the key role. Following the discovered lack of knowledge of MS patients I would recommend to increase the activity in educating people with this disease. An information leaflet which resulted from my findings can be used as a visual aid to improve the situation. The leaflet can be found in appendix number 8.

VESELSKÁ, Kateřina
Abstract The intergenerational relationships between senior citizens living in retirement homes and their families and friends in the town of Humpolec Aging and senior citizens are currently topical subjects. The population is aging and society should be prepared for this phenomenon. This shall bring about changes in various spheres and fields, such as health care and social services, and also in the relationships in and functioning of today{\crq}s family. The thesis ``The intergenerational relationships between senior citizens living in retirement homes and their children and friends in the town of Humpolec{\crqq} is devoted to the functioning of intergenerational relationships between senior citizens and their families and friends. The theoretical section deals with, first of all, the definition of the term senior citizens, their standing in society and the increasing number of senior citizens of a greater age. It emphasizes important health and mental changes that accompany old age and also characterizes the importance and types of activities and aging. It presents the results and findings of up to now research dealing with intergenerational relationships. For greater clarity and distinction, it divides these relationships into intergenerational relationships between senior citizens and their children, senior citizens and their grandchildren, senior citizens and their siblings, and senior citizens and their friends. Intergenerational relationships are primarily formed within a family, which is why one chapter is devoted to families, their functioning, and their importance. The next to last chapter in the theoretical section emphasizes the importance of the quality of life, which significantly influences and affects intergenerational relationships. The last chapter is devoted to retirement homes for senior citizens, and also the important changes that were brought about by Act No. 108/2006 Coll., on Social Services. The empirical section is devoted to the carrying out of qualitative research. An in-depth interview was the method that was utilized. Interviews were carried out with ten senior citizens in two retirement homes; in the Blessed Bronislav Retirement Home and the Humpolec Retirement Home on Lužická Street. Interviews with six senior citizens took place in the first named retirement home and the remaining four interviews took place in the latter named retirement home. The findings of the research reveal how intergenerational relationships function, and what affects and forms them. The findings present the relationships between senior citizens and their children, their quality and frequency, their relationships with their grandchildren, and in some cases their great grandchildren, and with their siblings and friends. The findings show the stress of first coming to a retirement home and the importance of a family and/or friends when taking this step in life. The findings of the research emphasize the importance of activities in old age and the important areas of changes in one{\crq}s health and mental state, when changes in one area affect other areas and the quality of life of senior citizens. The quality of life is also assuredly affected by the financial situation of senior citizens, which this thesis also deals with. Another factor is the surroundings in which senior citizens living in retirements homes live in. This thesis also deals with this issue.

Specifics in education of 50 + generation in the region around ČB
ŽIGOVÁ, Simona
Within our society the education of the fifty plus generation seems to be still in its infancy. The significance and the subsequent implementation of the most appropriate forms and methods of lifelong education pose a very important factor affecting the quality of life of the individual not only for the fifty plus generation. Lifelong learning and education of adults are considered to be a top priority of the European Union. The structures of the European Union are expected to assist our country in the design and implementation of modern systems and co-ordinated approaches to the said spheres of learning and education of adults. Every individual citizen, irrespective of age, should get the chance to learn and develop both as a personality and as a member of society. Learning and education should become the main channels of forming and building the personal development of an individual. The Third Age University concept undoubtedly belongs to lifelong learning programmes. This form of education for the fifty plus generation was introduced in our country already in 1986 as a part of the programmes offered by the Palacký University in Olomouc. Many further universities followed this example and the popularity of this type of education in the public has been steadily growing since. On the other side, today´s fifty plus generation presents an age group with very high numbers of the long-term unemployed. Unqualified people, people with impairments, personally and socially handicapped persons have been affected the most. The majority of the people mentioned above have had only one job in their lifetime. Due to their lack of broader job experience and related defensive behaviour they tend to blame the society and not their own lack of competence. Within this social group of the fifty plus generation learning is considered to be more a burden than a need. Employers expect their employees to provide top performance. Due to their decreasing physical fitness and age related health problems, this generation is not able to meet the demands required by the labour market. Employers prefer looks and image, they tend not to appreciate life experience, loyalty and trustworthiness, values today´ s fifty plus generation can offer. One of the priorities of the government is to support professional qualification and re-qualification programmes for the older generation. The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has been offering re-qualification and professional training courses specially designed for people over fifty. In the Czech Republic there are a number of companies operating in the field of the education of adults, and they are not focussed only on the fifty plus generation.
