Hemerová, Lucie ; Koldinská, Kristina (advisor) ; Matějka Řehořová, Lucie (referee)
Informal carers in Czech social law Abstract Majority of long-term care for elderly persons is provided by informal carers, i.e. by relatives of other close persons. Despite informal care has significant value either for economy and society, it is omitted by the legislator over a long period. Therefore, the objective of this diploma thesis is to map the legislation affecting the situation of informal carers, to analyse it and to propose changes resulting from confronting the legislation with the actual situation of informal carers. This thesis is structured into six chapters. The purpose of first chapter is to present basic background which briefly describes the most important social and demographic phenomena accelerating the need to address legal status of informal carers and in perspective of which the relevant legislation should be analysed. In particular, such phenomena are population ageing, gender equality, financing of social welfare systems and the situation of informal carers on labour market. In the second chapter, given the topic of this thesis, the social law is defined and areas of law affecting informal carers the most are described in more detail, i.e. social welfare law and labour law. Third, fourth and fifth chapters relevant legislation is described. Chapter three is devoted to...

The needs of callers to the emergency number 155 in the event of an acute deterioration of the condition of a patient with an advanced incurable, life-threatening or life-shortening disease
Brýdlová, Helena ; Bosá, Monika (advisor) ; Mertl, Jiří (referee)
The graduation thesis looks at the interconnection of parts of the health and social systems in areas that are linked by palliative care. The palliative care patient, and with them the informal carer, uses different trajectories through the health and social systems, looking for moments that are empowering or, conversely, limiting in good practice in the delivery of palliative care. The theoretical part looks at the different areas of the health and social care system, which should work very closely together and be intertwined, but it turns out that even the separate disciplines have their shortcomings, making it even more difficult to link these systems together. The aim of the theoretical part is to introduce the different segments in the social and health fields, with a link to palliative care. The aim of the empirical part was to investigate, through qualitative research, the reasons for relatives or close friends of the patient (i.e., informal caregivers) to call the emergency medical services (EMS) for their loved ones who were terminally ill, to identify their needs. The resulting findings led to two outcomes from a social and a health care perspective. From the social perspective, the importance of engaging communication and how information is delivered to informal caregivers and supporting...

Glanzová, Tereza ; Jeřábek, Hynek (advisor) ; Remr, Jiří (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with mixed forms of elderly care in the Czech Republic. The aim is to identify the advantages and potential disadvantages of mixed forms of elderly care in connection with informal carers' mental health and social life. There are 2 groups of informal carers distinguished within the research - those, who get professional care help and those, who care alone or get just a little professional care help. Mixed methods design, which combines quantitative and qualitative research, was used to study the world of informal carers. The quantitative part is based on data from a research Podpora neformálních pečovatelů, which were selected by STEM/MARK agency in 2014. Qualitative research is based on 10 in-depth interviews with informal carers. Both pieces of research are integrated in a phase of data analysis by the explanation method. Informal carers' mental health problems and social problems and its intensity in connection to mixed forms of elderly care are formulated in the results. The thesis also presents factors, which influence mental health problems and social problems. The results showed that using professional care help simultaneously with informal elderly care has a positive impact on informal carers' mental health and social life. Nevertheless, the influence of mixed forms...

Legal aspects of care for dependent persons
Presser, Šimon ; Tomšej, Jakub (referee)
Legal aspects of care for dependent persons More than half a million people in the Czech Republic is directly affected by the issue of care for dependent persons. It concerns not only those who are relying on care due to a physical or mental disability, but also those who provide the necessary care. Regarding the providers, so-called informal carers constitute majority of them. They are often family members who provide care without any official formalization, contract, or registration. However, as a group, informal carers are repeatedly overlooked. While emphasising the rights, duties and needs of both dependent persons and carers, this paper aims to comprehensively evaluate the current legal framework regulating the care for dependent persons. Firstly, the system of care in the Czech Republic is generally described followed by the presentation of specific forms of care highlighting the position of informal carers. Secondly, the paper brings up an analysis of basic activities of daily living that are crucial for the assessment of dependence. Subsequently, the administrative procedure in which the assessment is undergone is closely depicted. Nevertheless, the main focus of the paper lies in the analysis of the rights and obligations of the persons dependent on care and the informal carers. Hence,...

Support for informal carers who care for seniors
Huňová, Jana ; Štegmannová, Ingrid (advisor) ; Lejsal, Matěj (referee)
1 Abstract Informal care is one of the important sources of the help and support provided at home to the seniors requiring the assistance from other people. This topic is highly relevant since it is linked to the growing need of long-term care of seniors reflecting the ageing of population in developed countries. The care provided by informal carers is important also because of the changes in the social services. The changes are related to the shift from institutional care of depending persons including seniors to the social services provided in the natural social environment. Such approach supports the autonomy of clients. This master degree thesis addresses the support of informal carers in the area of the care of non self-sufficient elderly people. The investigation is focused on the needs of informal family caregivers as for the information support, financial support, the support from the social services and the support expected from the services of long-term residential care. The thesis also deals with the motivation of the carers and their understanding of the social context of provided care. The research which is included in the empirical section of the thesis was implemented through qualitative methods, namely using semi-standardized interviews. The interviews with ten informal carers were carried...
