Life goals of mothers with children in a shelter house.
SKALOVÁ, Pavla
In the bachelor thesis, I tried to identify life goals of mothers living with their children in the emergency shelter. The qualitative research was used conducted by interviewing and a semi-structured interview. The data was further divided into several clusters based on the grouping of the various choices. The aim of thesis is to identify life goals of mothers with children in an emergency shelter. Target file is composed of mothers with children, staying at an emergency shelter in the South Region. To determine the aims best, we must at first uncover the specific causes that led mothers to their choice. In the theoretical part, I dealt with basic concepts associated with the topic, namely the family and its concept, the functional family, a crisis, stress, etc. The research results provide us with a comprehensive overview of the situation of women who dwell in the emergency shelter. They illustrate not only the specific causes of their arrival to the shelter, the topical reasons for their inability to work, but also whether they are trying to somehow solve the situation. The results also describe the values considered by informants to be the most important in their lives, and also how these values influence their choice of life goals. On the basis of the results of the research, the main reasons for the onset of the interviewed women in the emergency shelter were determined, such as a non-existent social network of family and the absence of a stable partner that would help them in a difficult situation. This situation certainly has influence on the choice of their life values which they possess, and which very significantly influence their chosen life goals. The findings that the thesis bring, in my opinion, may help not only social workers and workers in social service of emergency shelters, to better understand the problems of women in crisis situations, but also to improve the quality and progress of interventions with women who come to emergency shelters.
