The main objective of this diploma thesis was to map out what activation activities are used by nursing staff and what activation activities contribute to the self-sufficiency of the clients in the homes for elderly. The theoretcal part of this diploma thesis contains an information about the age and aging issues. Further part of the diploma thesis is dedicated to the definition and characterization of the notion of activation and description of the role of nurses in the care of seniors.

The diploma thesis focuses on issues of activation of seniors.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to find out what activities the seniors are most searching for and whether the choice is related to the age, family status, original vocation and education.

I focused on the topic of activation of seniors in social care facilities in my diploma thesis. The aim of the diploma thesis was to describe possibilities regarding the activation of seniors in social care facilities and to find out how much the activation services in selected types of social care facilities differ. I conducted a research survey through interviews with social and activation workers from four types of social care facilities: homes for the elderly, special regimes homes, hospice care and social beds in long-term hospitals. The questions for the interviews were semi-structured and aimed at finding out the possibilities and differences in the activation of seniors in these facilities. All social care facilities are legally obliged to activate their clients. However, on the basis of this research, I have come to the conclusion that not all facilities follow this requirement. Some entities activate their clients very little, and for this reason, these people are suffering and their life feels meaningless. On the other side, in facilities where activation is provided, seniors are more satisfied, feel they have a meaningful life, and they enjoy their life. As a result of the research, I found that the differences in activation of seniors in social care facilities are really significant.

Activation in old age The old age is the period accompanied by a number of physiological, psychological and social changes. The human society gets older in the whole world and the Czech Republic is no exception. Also in the higher age it is necessary to maintain the physical as well as psychological and social activity which is based on the bio-psychological conception of the man and his needs. The activity in higher age is important not only for maintaining the physical as well as mental health, but it improves the quality of live in total. In connection to incorporation of activities in older age, the concept of activation is being applied. The activation is important for the seniors in the home environment as well as for seniors in senior homes where it contributes to the better adaptation of the new client having arrived into the facility. In the theoretical part, I write among others of individual activation programs being offered by senior homes. The first goal of the thesis is to survey the activation programs offered in the senior homes in the South Bohemia. The second goal is to find out if the clients take advantage of these programmes. The hypothesis was postulated {\clqq}The most seniors in the senior homes take advantage of the activation program for memory training``. The research complex consists of clients of senior homes, moreover of the employees performing the activation in the senior homes and the directors of senior homes. The research was performed in senior homes on the territory of the South Bohemian region in the time from 20th March to 15th April 2008. 34 clients of senior homes, 12 directors of senior homes and 9 employees performing activation in senior homes took part in the research. In the thesis the following methods of data collection were applied: half-controlled talk, standardised questionnaire and comparative analysis. In the talks with clients in the senior homes I was interested in the fact what offered activation programs are being utilized by the clients, how they are satisfied with programs, the contribution of these programs. The questionnaires were determined for the directors of senior homes on the territory of the South Bohemian Region and moreover for the employees performing the activation. By means of the questionnaires I surveyed the kinds of the offered activation programs, usage of programs by the clients, contribution of activation programs for the clients, staff assurance in the programs and professional education of the employees performing the activation, but also new possibilities in the field of activation. It follows from the research that the most seniors in the senior homes take advantage of the ergo-therapy. The postulated hypothesis was refuted. The thesis shall contribute to the better survey of the individual activation programs, their contents, contribution and possibilities of usage in the work with seniors and it shall also give feedback to individual facilities.
