BRABCOVÁ, Jana
Currently, old age and associated issues of care for the elderly are very topical problem in terms of the demographic changes in society. This BA thesis responds to the changes in the society-wide climate caused by population ageing. This BA thesis focuses on linking of family care and social care in accordance with the Social Services Act No. 108/2006 Coll. These are examined in the context of a particular field social service providing personal assistance. The aim of this thesis is to establish what options and limits exist in terms of care for the personal assistance client who is concurrently attended toby a family member or members. The thesis emphasizes several fundamental topics. It focuses predominantly on the importance of family care and personal assistance services, relations between generations, and the role of the elderly and their family in providing care. For the empirical part of the BA thesis a strategy of qualitative research was chosen, using methods of participant observation and focus groups. Obtained data were divided into four areas on the basis of the examined phenomenon, and these were analysed into research results. The focus group consists of twelve personal assistants of the organisation who were selected by exhaustive selection method. The subsequent analysis of obtained data assessed what situations of the combined form of care most often lead to conflicts and difficulties. These include mainly miscommunication among the client, personal assistant and family, conflicts of interests, family disputes, domination, necessity to reduce the load on the family, and obtaining information on care. In conclusion, the results of both theoretical and practical part demonstrated that the essence of the combined care can be fully accomplished only under the condition of effective communication and cooperation of all parties involved - personal assistant, client, and family.
