Shelter Housing in České Budějovice. Specific social services and problems of its development.
MATĚNOVÁ, Kateřina
The bachelor thesis on the topic Shelter Housing in České Budějovice. Specific Social Services And Problems of Its Development deals with the support of independent housing of people with mental disease. In the theoretical part I described the shelter housing as a specific social service. Furthermore I focused at the concrete social service of K-Pax Housing in České Budějovice, which is in function since 2015. The projects successfully applied by the social service are introduced in the end of the theoretical part. The practical section of my bachelor thesis deals with my quantitative research. Research method of questioning was used for gaining the data and structured interview with opened questions was used as a technique of collection data. I carried out interviews with five respondents, who are employees of K-Pax Housing, in the research. The goal of the work is to capture an image of a developing social service and its activity, clarification of difficulties and obstacles with whom the social workers deal with and to suggest some optimization recommendations. Two research questions were asked for accomplishing the thesis's goal. The first one for finding current difficulties deals with problems that prevent K-Pax Housing project from further development. The second question is looking for the solutions of current problems suggested by the respondents. The results gained in the research of the practical section show that the social service has difficulties concerning lack of finance and employees. Respondents also agreed on that disobeying of the set rules in the housing are a big problem. A couple of optimization solutions were suggested based on the results: hiring a worker for the position of fund-raiser, finding more volunteers, co-operate with other organisations providing social service of shelter housing.

Physiotherapy in the patients with combined handicap - physical and mental
ČEKALOVÁ, Renata
My bachelor´s work deals with possible applications of physiotherapy for patients with combined disabilities physical and mental. The number of people with combined disabilities is growing despite improving medical care and more advanced technologies used. Most cases are incurable illnesses where a timely diagnosis and following early rehabilitation, which can significantly mitigate the consequences, are the most important factors. The theoretical part focuses on the characteristics, diagnostics, etiology and classification of the physical and mental disability and on the comparison of particular literary sources. The next part was dedicated to various possibilities of therapy for people with combined disabilities. The therapy does not mean only therapeutic rehabilitation. The social, pedagogical and work rehabilitations play an important part, too. The goal of the complete rehabilitation is achievement of as much self-sufficiency as possible, active life integration or adoption of the handicap. It is a process which helps disabled people to develop or strengthen their physical, mental and social skills. As for people with acquired disability we try to retrieve as many former abilities as possible. On the other hand people with a congenital disability are treated to keep ordinary development. The practical part writes up three casuistries in which I set a target, a description of the methodology and characteristics of the research sample. While meeting the first client the anamnesis and the entrance kinesiology examination were done. The front, from behind and side physical exams were included, together with the palpation examination, the examination of shortened muscles, motion stereotypes, examination of standing on one leg or walking. Next, I examined the distances in the spine and did a special examination focused on the deep spine stabilization. Thereof three tests according to Kolář were chosen the midriff test, the extention test and the body flection test. The therapy took 10 weeks at the Diagnostic welfare institute (since 01/01/2015 renamed - Kopretina home). The goal of the work was to chart the physiotherapy at selected clients with combined disability and then to suggest and perform a short-time therapeutic plan. Next I compared the states at the beginning and at the end of the research regarding the influence on the quality of their lives. The therapy was finished with an output kinesiology examination and with interviews with individual clients to get to know their subjective therapy assessment.

Availability and use of health and social services for people with mental disease in České Budějovice
KORTIŠOVÁ, Jana
The aim was to explore users' satisfaction with availability of healthcare and social services for people with mental illness in České Budějovice and also to map the use of these services from the users' perspective, but also employees' perspective. To obtain the necessary data I used quantitative research, a questionnaire technique. In total 77 questionnaires were distributed - in Domino and Fokus organizations in České Budějovice and also in the psychiatric ward in hospital in České Budějovice. Respondents were not only their users, but also staff of these institutions. The research shows that the most used service are day care centers, counseling and therapeutic services, and on the contrary, many users and workers lack social housing. Regarding health services, the most interviewed clients uses the services of a psychiatrist or general practitioner from whom the largest percentage of respondents obtains information about the services. The workers' responses showed that the vast majority of users of services has an interest in the offered programs, and in their opinion, primarily programs for use of leisure time, social and therapeutic programs should be supported.The greatest problem is seen in high financial demands on services and associated uncertain funding of social services and poor linkage between health and social services.
