BŘEZINOVÁ, Denisa
This bachelor thesis focuses on social work with dementia syndrome people. The subject is social workers who work in a special regime homes in the Vysočina Region and provide their services to clients of these organizations. An important goal is to describe the specifics, possibilities and limits of social work with dementia syndrome people in the Vysočina Region. I have been searching between various organizations which u can find in the Vysočina Region and that are providing services for the clients with dementia. Within these organizations I was interested in social workers, general information about them, content and the specifics of their work, methodical and professional support, cooperation with other workers, etc. With obtained information I worked mainly in the practical part of this work. In the theoretical part, I focused on obtaining general information on dementia, from the first symptoms to the splitting up to individual types of dementia. I also received important documents from the social work area, which I could use in communication with social workers later and consequently in the processing of the practical part of the work. The practical part I created by using qualitative research in questionings method using semi-standardized interview with informants. These informants I selected based on availability. Obtained information were processed by using the open coding method, which was furthermore created as categories and subcategories, their content and the tables contained therein. I also created SWOT analysis of social work, its strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and risks. First I created a SWOT analysis for each organization separately and then for all organizations together. Issue of this work is a detailed view of the activities of social workers in special regime homes and their comparison with each other. From the results based on research, I came to the conclusion that the activities of social workers in homes with a special regime there is a match in most cases. Social workers are agree with their work description, organization rules and provided information, there are minor exceptions. An important goal of most social workers is to obtain and maintain client contact with theirs family, communication with the family, finding information about the client and helping from the family.
