Risk Behaviour from the Staffs´ Perspective of the Authority Children´s Protection.
ŠESTÁKOVÁ, Markéta
The bachelor thesis deals with the high - risk behaviour from the staffs´ perspective of the authority children´s protection. The goal of my bachelor thesis was to find out the typical forms of risky behaviour which the officials of the authority of children´s social care law most often encounter and whether the personnel authority of children´s social care law perceive eating disorders as a risky behaviour. In connection with these objectives, I have set the following hypotheses as follows: The officials of the authority of children´s social care law encounter with all nine types of risky behaviour and eating disorders are perceived by the officials of the authority of children´s social care law as a risky behaviour. For processing the data in the empirical part I have chosen the quantitative research, which proceeded with the use of questionnaire enquiry. The research sample consisted of fourteen social workers, specifically curators for children and youth operating on the authority of children´s social care law in the South Bohemian Region. The results show that the officials of children´s social care law most often encounter truancy of their clients, then bullying, cyber bullying, sexual risky behaviour and substance dependence. The responses show that risky behaviour occurs more often in extracurricular environment. The majority of responders are inclined to think of the primary prevention of risky behaviour in the education system as not sufficient. In connection with the second aim, which is focused on eating disorders, the most of the respondents said they agreed with the inclusion of eating disorders to risk-taking behaviour. For the most common eating disorder they encounter is anorexia nervosa as they marked. In their point of view is not, in the context of prevention at schools, taken sufficient account of the issue of eating disorders and the risks associated with them. Among their clients who got ill from eating disorder, most often cooperate with their families or refer to appropriate professional help. Based on these results, it should be noted that the first hypothesis with the results diverges, whereas the second hypothesis is with them in correspond. The research results could serve as an information material for the officials of the authority of children´s social care law. Furthermore, it is possible to embrace the basis for the educators working with at-risk group of pupils. They can also be beneficial for the improvement of cooperation between the school and the official of the social services or between educators in the creation of the minimum preventive programme.

The research group consisted of eight counsellors for children and youth selected according to their availability. The following research question was used to map the above-mentioned issue: Are counsellors for children and youth at risk of burnout? The results have shown that the majority of counsellors for children and youth feel at risk of burnout syndrome, particularly because of the stress factors at work. The most common stress factors named by the respondents included excessive amount of administration tasks and documentation, too many clients per one employee, careless attitude of clients or inadequate feeling of recognition and support from superiors as well as colleagues. Supervision can be used at all respondents' workplaces as an effective tool in preventing burnout, but it was often assessed as unsatisfactory. Currently, the burnout syndrome is often discussed especially among the helping professions, which also include counsellors for children and youth. Despite this fact, it is advisable to further explore this issue. To sum up, the thesis describes specific reasons why counsellors for children and youth are at risk of burnout syndrome. Next, it asks whether counsellors take adequate preventative measures against burnout and closely concentrates on supervision in the workplace. The thesis can serve as a basis for further research and the results can be used at the institutions where counsellors for children and youth work.
