The Intergenerational Family Solidarity Eyes of Social work Students
TUŠEROVÁ, Tereza
This graduate thesis deals with the issue of intergenerational family solidarity through the eyes of social work students. The main goal is todescribe the attitudes of social work students in regard to intergenerational family coexistence. Relationships between seniors and young people are influenced by mutual interaction, personal experience, family background and other factors. The topic of interpersonal relationships concerns each of us, not only students of social work, for the cornerstone of the younger generation's attitude towards seniors is formed by the family, from which the aforementioned intergenerational family solidarity arises. This work focuses on the relationship with and attitude towardsthese issues from the perspective of students of social work, in which they work with theassumption of social feelings, and not only those of seniors. The work consists of theoretical and research sections. The theoretical part of the work consists of several areas. It deals with a selected period of human age, and addresses the topic of work in relation to adulthood, old age, and the demographic curve. It then describesformal care for the elderly, services intended for this target group andanyfinancial support related to their care. The third section describesthe informal caregiver. The penultimate areafocuses on the topic of intergenerational solidarity, and the end of the theoretical partconcerns the titleof the graduate thesis itself, and that is the social work student. For the research partof the thesis, qualitative research, the method of questioning and the technique of semi-structured interview were chosen. Interviews were conducted with social work students and were focused on several areas. The main research question was: "How do social work students perceive intergenerational coexistence in one household?" It was further divided into several subquestions. The research itself took place in stages, the first being pre-research and only thereafter was the research itself conducted. All interviews were recorded and literally transcribed. The information obtained was processed by the method of creating groups based on certain similarities, and the resulting data were structured according to individual sub-questions. The research showed that social work students perceive coexistence with older family members in one household as a natural development of their family orfamily situation. They consider it natural behavior within the family, behaviorwherein members approach each otherwith love, respect and understanding. They wish to continue to care for their loved ones in a family circle with minimal or no use of social services for the elderly. Social work students agree that studying this field has brought them a wealth of information that will make life easier for them as a family, and incaring for aging members of their family, but also agree that the study did not affect their view and attitude towards intergenerational cohabitation. Intergenerational coexistence provides them and other members of the household with one important need, namely "not being alone." The results can also serve social work students who deal with theseissues. Furthermore, this graduate thesis can also be used by the general public to obtain information about intergenerational family cohabitation.
