The Diploma thesis deals with the role and status of social workers in the social welfare system in Mongolia defines the basic concepts and characteristics of a social system care in contemporary society. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, fell in Mongolia communist regime and adopted a free market economy. Rapid political and economic changes over the last decade has caused many families poverty, many of them have lost the opportunity to care for their children. As a result, many children left their families, many are homeless and live on the streets or in institutionalized orphanages. The road to democracy was attacked corruption, economic crisis and political movements. In July 2008 along political committees have brought hope to a common agreement. In Mongolia, social work began its operations in 1997 as a result of the recognition of the needs of professional intervention in urgent social problems caused by social, political and economic transformation from a communist Mongolian society to a democratic, which took place in 1990. Democratic change has laid a solid foundation for the promotion of social justice, human rights and civil society development in the country. Social work as a professional discipline in Mongolia is new, so the next challenge for social workers is to introduce and popularize the role of social work. Even more important is the pursuit of the development of the national identity of the social worker. Given the novelty of professional and institutional development is needed to develop programs designed to support local, national and regional needs and priorities, to promote professional development and practice-based learning, and create educational resources. The qualitative research was conducted four interviews with social workers, each of them working in different areas of the city. The fifth interview I had with a professor in the Department of Social Work at the University of UlanBator. Data obtained through interviews I compiled using open coding. The aim of this thesis is to introduce the issue of social care in the capital UlanBator. The operational objective of the thesis is to identify specifically describe and analyze the current status of social workers. The research showed that in Mongolia is not clearly defined system of Social Work and Social Services Act, which would define the exact role of social workers. In today's society in Mongolia role of the social worker is varied. The issue of social work is that the Mongolian government is focusing more on cash assistance, but does not take account of social work in the form of direct intervention to the citizens. The opportunity to study abroad is expensive, costs associated with the study must cover themselves. The contribution of this work is to contribute to the understanding of the overall situation of social workers and obstacles to their further development. Our results obtained could also contribute to the understanding of social work in general.

This diploma thesis focuses on the issue of social work conducted in the Psychiatric Institution Červený Dvůr, which specializes in the treatment of addiction to habit-forming substances. The social work in this institution is part of the therapeutic process and it is an important tool for dealing with social consequences. The theoretical part of the thesis introduces the issues of social work, social worker's role in health service and social services for the target group of people addicted to habit-forming substances. This part is also marginally devoted to the issues of addiction and social work with persons who have problems with habit-forming substances. The practical part is realized using qualitative research, the method of questioning. Data was collected using the technique of a semi-structured interview. The first research group was composed of 3 social workers. The method of total selection was used for the construction of the group. The other group consisted of the patients currently hospitalized. A research sample of 12 patients was selected from this group using the method of quota selection. All the interviews conducted were processed; the data was categorized and tabularized. The objective of the thesis was to map the methods and techniques of social work used by social workers in their work with the patients and which social assistance is used by patients most frequently. Another objective was to find out whether the patients are adequately informed about the potential of social work and whether they are satisfied with the provision of social assistance. The research has shown that social work has its fixed place in comprehensive treatment and that it is supported by all the members of the treatment team. The research has shown that the social workers used frequently the methods of working with individuals, groups, families and communities, the using the techniques of interviews, active listening, role play and visual instruction. They mainly apply the task-focused approach. The social workers cooperate most frequently with the members of the treatment team, with the patients, their families and staff of many other institutions. The research has also shown that the patients use social, legal and professional advisory most of all. They use most commonly some assistance in the procurement of new personal documents, when dealing with their debt problems, with finding suitable housing and employment, in resolving family problems and the consequences of crime. The research results have also shown that the patients are well informed about social assistance and they are very satisfied with its provision. I believe that the objectives of my thesis have been met and that the research questions have been answered. The thesis could serve to provide information about how social work is conducted in such specific institutions. The results could be an incentive to make the working conditions for the conduct of social work and improvements in the provision of social assistance more efficient.

The diploma thesis is divided into two parts. The first - the theoretical part - is focused on the basic description of brain damage, there is more about the cerebral stroke, the coordinated rehabilitation team, the role of the social worker. There is also described the burden that the social worker as a person in the helping profession may face and burnout syndrome as a possible consequence of this burden.

Data was processed in Atlas.ti 7. The administration which is more and more demanding due to the legislation. That results in less time with client and more time with paperwork. Finance which is related to the funding of services, lack of resources for employee remuneration and the financial difficulty for clients. Lack of qualified staff, time consuming activities that are closely tied to the extensive administration and the fact that social workers often work beyond their job responsibilities and competencies. Non-cooperation of a client's family or lack of interest of family on the client, there is also the legislation, which is often in contradiction with practice according to interviews. The social workers have to follow the actual amendments of the law and that is time-consuming and exhausting, absence of follow-up organizations for patients after brain damage, lack of competencies/authority/information of social workers, insufficient motivation, lack of financial remuneration or lack of benefits for employees, conflicts with authorities, barriers that may occur during work of a social worker or insufficient resources. The analysis also reveals that social workers subjectively perceive these positives during their work with patients after brain damage: client satisfaction, helping people, the good feeling after job well done, positive feedback, fulfilling job, positive in relation to the work environment. The results of the thesis show that the positive aspects dominates over the negative ones. Work in a multidisciplinary team has been perceived positively amongst the social workers and beneficial for the clients and for the team. This work will serve as a sub-part for the elaboration of complex outcomes of coordinated rehabilitation of patients after brain damage from the GAJU project. Research results will become part of the publication outputs from the above-mentioned project.
