The reasons for refusing involvement of seniors into the occupational activities
HEJNOVÁ, Miroslava
This bachelor thesis focuses on the reasons why seniors using home care services can not or do not want to participate in activation programs. General nurses were also approached to map the problem, which identified the overall knowledge of activation programs and their involvement in various activities. This work is composed of theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part there are outlined changes that occur during aging, suitable technique of communication with seniors and possible activation programs, which can be applied in the homes for seniors. The empirical part consists of four objectives. The first objective was to find out why seniors are unable or unwilling to participate in activation programs in the home for the elderly. The second objective was to find out what activation programs are provided to seniors in homes for the elderly. The third objective of this work was to find out whether the seniors participating in the activation programs were satisfied and whether they wished for new activation programs. The ultimate goal was to find out how nurses are involved in activation programs and how deep is their knowledge of activation programs. Subsequently, five research questions were identified. For the research, a qualitative survey technique was chosen using a semi-structured interview. Altogether, eight nurses and ten seniors were approached. The interviews were recorded and then rewritten into text. In the chapters, the results and discussion outline possible reasons for not involving seniors in activation programs. Research shows that seniors who attend at least some of the activation programs are satisfied with these programs. Some said they wish that the new programs would move into the home for the elderly. Most seniors have said that the benefits in these activation programs could be seen. Research from nurses has revealed that they have good knowledge of activation programs used by seniors. Surprisingly, only few nurses are involved in these programs. The chapters of the discussion and conclusion contain the results and possible recommendations for increasing the interest of seniors in activation programs.

Senior's Adaptation to Staying Facilities
VAVŘÍČKOVÁ, Lenka
The theoretical part consists of five chapters, which are engaged first of all in problems affecting elderly people. The first part is completed with the issue of the demographic development of the current society and of age lengthening. Methods of senior care in the past are also mentioned in this work. The present circumstances are presented by kinds of stay facilities. This is completed with a discussion concerning the care in staying facilities. Furthermore, the issue of adaptation and maladaptation is analyzed in detail. Concrete feasible solutions of managing the adaptation of elderly people at accommodation facilities are described, which is considered to be the most important part of this work. The author keeps to the hypotheses that previous knowledge of the environment and satisfied living at old people´s homes are connected with a successful adaptation to these facilities. Also free choice as well as self-determination favours the adaptation.
