Attitudes of Social Workers to Lifelong Learning
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Olga
Lifelong education represents an important theme much discussed by the today's society, which was one of the reasons for choosing the topic of the diploma thesis. The present diploma thesis titled "Approaches of social workers to lifelong education" is divided into two parts: the theoretical part provides a summary of the existing knowledge contained in various literatures related both to lifelong education and education in general. The other, research part concentrates on the objective of the research, the methodology applied, characteristics of the research group, processing and evaluation of data and discussion. The theoretical part is engaged in defining the term of lifelong education, legislation in education, the development of lifelong education. Furthermore, it explores key documents associated with the analysed areas of lifelong education, structural funds and Community programmes, human potential, human resources and human capital. The theoretical part consists of a chapter dealing with the system of initial education, involving formal, non-formal and informal education and further education. The following section of the theoretical part focuses on social workers, who, in compliance with Act No. 108/2006 Coll., on Social Services, as amended, are obligated to pursue further education in order to improve, complement and refresh their qualification. The other section of the theoretical part is concerned with prerequisites for performing the profession of social workers, their further education, accreditation of educational facilities and programmes. The objective of this diploma thesis is outlined in the research part: Determination of approaches of social workers in the South Bohemian Region to the set-up of education in social work. In connection with the objective of the thesis, the following hypothesis was stipulated:The approach of social workers is more positive as to lifelong education directed at practice than theoretical education. To confirm the above hypothesis, a zero hypothesis was established, assuming that, within the final basic group of social workers in the South Bohemian Region, 75% of social workers has a more positive approach to practice-directed education and 25% of social workers has a more positive approach to theoretical education. The research part, in the framework of this diploma thesis, was effected in form of a quantitative research. The required data were derived by the method of interrogation, a questionnaire technique. The prepared questionnaire consisted of 27 questions in total. Closed, semi-closed and open questions were used. The questionnaire was sent by electronic mail to email addresses of facilities and their individual employees. The research group consisted of social workers employed in social services in the South Bohemian Region. The resulting data were assessed and processed by means of contingent tables and graphs in Microsoft Office Excel 2007. Values gained by the research were processed statistically. To verify the hypotheses regarding the structure of the basic research according to one or more indices, Pearson's Chi-Square Test of goodness of fit at the significance level alpha = 0.05 was applied. The research performed within the diploma thesis, supported by the survey based on questionnaires, anwers of the respondents as such and, last but not least, statistical calculations, confirmed the hypothesis that contemplated a more positive approach of social workers to lifelong education aimed at practice. Social workers in the South Bohemian Region taken into consideration, the results of the diploma thesis unquestionably demonstate that social workers prefer practice-directed education. Having assessed all questions in the questionnaire, the author determined the attitudes of social workers as to the set-up of lifelong education in social work and believes that the standpoint of the majority of respondents of lifelong learning is highly positive.

Hypertension as a cause of temporary disability and its disabiliting consequences
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Olga
One of the most common diseases of the circulatory system is hypertension. Its high prevalence in the adult population represents a serious health but also a social problem. Untreated hypertension leads to serious organ complications which fundamentally affect the quality of life of the patient. However, before hypertension starts to be treated, prevention should precede. Preventive measures can be divided into primary and secondary. Among the primary preventive measures belong stop smoking, weight reduction, sufficient physical activity, salt reduction in food, reduction of alcohol intake. To the secondary prevention, early revelations of patients with already existing hypertension are added. Prevention would lower the cost of treatment for both, the patient and the state, especially in the case of complications of hypertension and hospitalization. The more effective the treatment is, and the sooner it is started, the emergence of complications are more delayed and prolongs the full phase of life. Acute worsening of hypertension or complications are a common cause of temporary inability to work. During a period of temporary inability to work state of health should improve and it should lead to its cure or stabilization, in order to be allowed to return to original employment. If there is no cure or stabilization of the state of health and this state lasts for at least one year, disability can be taken into consideration. In our concept of disability, it is perceived not only as a restriction of ability to work causing loss of earnings and the possibility of economic activities, but other aspects such as health, social, labor-legal are also often included. Until 31. 12. 2009 disability was divided into full and partial (full and partial disability pensions). From 1. 1. 2010, dividing into the full and partial disability was abandonned and it was replaced with the three degrees of disability (disability pension). The aim of my bachelor´s thesis was to determine what proportion of hypertension and its complications on temporary disability and long-term follow-up rate of decline in ability to work in 2007 - 2011. Two hypotheses were set. The first hypothesis - the number of cases of temporary inability to work due to hypertension and its complications has an increasing tendency and the second hypothesis ? the number of cases of assessed disability due to hypertension and its complications is increasing. In order to obtain the necessary information I used a quantitative research. Within this quantitative research, I chose the method of secondary and content analysis of data of documents relating to the assessment of the health status of citizens for social security purposes. The first basic group consisted of policyholders who were exposed to temporary inability to work in 2007 - 2011 in the district of České Budějovice. The second group consisted of people who were granted with disability in 2007 - 2011 in the district of České Budějovice. The selection of respondents was purpose-built according to diagnoses. After the analysis and comparison of data, the first hypothesis was not confirmed because the insured people having a temporary inability to work due to hypertension and its complications in 2007 - 2011 did not have an increasing tendency. Also, the second hypothesis was not confirmed by when I found out that the number of cases of assessed disability due to hypertension and its complications is not increasing. As the proposal of further procedure, it would be interesting to focus on age, sex, education and career of the insured people and also whether the reason for submitting a request for a disability pension is actually state of health of the applicant or their socio-economic situation.

Parental leave and men
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Olga
The goal of the thesis was to identify the overall life situation of men on parental leave, decisive factors that led them to take the parental leave and at the same time identification of protective and limiting factors influencing mastering the care for the child from the point of view of men on parental leave. The Introduction states reasons that led me to select the topic and describe the issue and direction of my work more closely. The Theoretical Part is comprised of six chapters describing the issue of family, fatherhood and family policy in general, the current situation of men on parental leave in the Czech Republic and in other European countries and legislative problems connected with it. The Research Part comprises eight case studies focused on the research areas set in advance. The Discussion is then comparison of specialist literature speaking on the subject and of results I collected in the Research Part. The Conclusion sums up the whole work and formulates my opinions about results of my studies. Here, I also mention my findings for potential further research. The basic methods used in my qualitative research were half-structured dialogue and open participant observation. The collected data were elaborated in eight case studies. The research sample of eight men was selected by random systematic selection. The men came from Prague and its surroundings and they were between 32 and 55 years old. The research lasted from June 2008 to April 2009. Results of my work can help to make the decision-making in family more objective in view of real benefit of one of the parents taking the parental leave. Further, the work could help overcome common taboos and find at least partial answers to questions that are new to many men.
