Intergenerational Solidarity In Terms Of The Non-formal Care
VAVROUŠKOVÁ, Edita
The issue of eldercare has been increasing both political and public interests. Families are the main eldercare providers at present. At present it is mainly the family who provides care for elderly dependants. The aim of the thesis is to map this issue and to ascertain the eldercare development over the course of the years, the position of a caring family member and possible help by other family members and by the healthcare system. Population aging is currently an increasing problem in all countries. The Czech Republic also ranks among those states. The problem of providing elderly care is both present and future. It is important to provide the care system of elderly members of the society, which emphasises the key role of the support for caring family members. Independent care is also very difficult to ensure. The thesis deals with the issue of eldercare, the support for the family members caring for elderly dependants. Historical and current senior care development, actual issues affecting aging population and the influence on the quality of life of the caring family members are discussed in the thesis. The thesis deals with possible future development of informal care. The thesis also defines the terminology of the topic above mentioned, for example "senior age, aging", etc. Requirements for becoming a senior carer and ways of the care and elderly dependant needs and possible proposals for positive changes of the system are discussed.

The importance of health services for caring families
PRACHAŘOVÁ, Eva
This thesis deals with the topic of informal care linked with health care services. Many people are not aware of the variety of fields that can be classified as health care services and where to find these services outside of hospitals and surgeries. Often people have to look for information in the moment when they need to start caring for someone else which is usually difficult for them. One part of the thesis focuses on informal care, who carries it out, what it involves. The main goal of the practical part of the thesis is to identify the significance of health care services for caring families. To discover this goal two research questions were set: 1. Why does a member of a family become an informal carer? 2. Why do caring families utilize health care services for a non self-sufficient member of a family? In order to accomplish the goal, qualitative strategy was used, in particular the method of questioning. During the interviews, the semi-structured form was used. The acquired data were then processed using the method of creating clusters. On the basis of the acquired results I believe that the goal of the thesis has been fulfilled. Caring families seek out and utilize health care services when they need to add professional acts to their care. The example of such situation would be if a non self-sufficient person would have to be moved into a hospital or a housing facility (such as a retirement home) where formal care is carried out on a common basis. Families also seek out health care services if they need to stabilize or improve the health condition of the person they care for.

Hošťálková, Jitka ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Háva, Petr (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the system of the informal long-term care for people with disabilities in the Czech Republic. The first aim of the diploma thesis is to describe this non-conceptually solved issue and confirm the European prevalent tendencies to refamilization and deinstitutionalization in the Czech Republic. Author tries to identify the main problems within the system of informal long-term care through interviews conducted with informal carers and workers from selected social services. The diploma thesis emphasizes the target population of informal carers, who face many obstacles, whether it is the cooperation between the systems of formal and informal care, lack of finances, deterioration of quality of life or insufficient recognition of the status of informal carers from the society and the state. Informal carers are presented on the basis of theoretical perspectives as well as the results of conducted research as the invisible stakeholders of the Czech public policy.

Caregivers in senior age caring for adults with mental disabilities
Hekšová, Tereza ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Angelovská, Olga (referee)
This bachelor thesis elaborates on the issue of ageing informal caregivers who care for the mentally handicapped. An informal caregiver provides care that is not at a professional level and is unpaid. Nevertheless, it is informal carers who are the primary providers of long-term or lifelong care for the mentally or physically handicapped. This care is most often provided by a person from the family, a partner or close family relatives. The thesis describes how the provision of this care to a mentally handicapped individual affects the life of an ageing informal caregiver. These are negative effects on the social and family relations, psyche and health of the caregiver, the financial security of the whole family and especially the security and safety of their mentally handicapped child in the future in all the needs. One of the purposes of the thesis is to identify primary needs and determine the current position of ageing informal carers in the context of social policy. Informal older carers face different and more diverse barriers than younger carers. They are a neglected and forgotten group, among other things due to the unanchored status of an informal caregiver in the Social Services Act. The work is based on qualitative research and with the help of interviews with carers and experts, it was...

Informal client care after CMP.
VLNATÁ, Jana
The focus of the thesis is on the informal caregiver and family, who cares for a family member who has had a stroke. This topic is very relevant because CMP is one of the most common causes of disability and death, both in the Czech Republic and worldwide. The thesis consists of theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is focused on the study of literature and is divided into 4 basic areas. The first area characterizes the concept of brain and stroke, describes the causes, distribution, symptoms, treatment and consequences of this health and life-threatening event. The second area is the division of coordinated rehabilitation, which is necessary after a stroke, whether it be medical, social, pedagogical, work rehabilitation or spa care. The third area focuses on poststroke therapies such as physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and psychology. The next area focuses on forms of social assistance, without which home care for a close person would not be possible, and includes a care subsidy, a special aid subsidy, a mobility subsidy, a disability card and pension. Last but not least, terms such as formal and informal care are explained. The method of qualitative research using semi-structured interview technique was chosen for the elaboration of the practical part. The research group consisted of seven members of the South Bohemian Region who take care of a close member of their family for a long time at home. The interviews were recorded and then literally rewritten. In my research, I tried to answer the question: "What are the family's difficulties in caring for family members after having suffered from CMP and what are their most common problems?" In the discussion, I summarized the findings and hypothesised, based on research. The results of the diploma thesis can serve as a source of information for persons after the stroke and thein families and help to educate the public.
