Health assistance for a employees in a social Device

The topic of my bachelor thesis is "Support of health of employees in social facilities". Men and women spend more than one half of their productive life in their jobs and work environment, and for this reason it should affect positively the work as well as the health of persons. The Health support programs support this principle. The target of thesis is mapping the life style of (para)medical employees in social facilities, i.e. their alimentation habits, physical activities/sport, relationship to smoking, subjective health troubles and prevalence of overweight in the selective group in comparison with the population of the Czech Republic and also subjective perception of influence of work conditions. The research part is based on quantitative research methods and focuses on mapping the alimentation habits and lifestyle of employees, their work conditions and subjective health problems. The necessary data were acquired by means of anonymous questionnaire investigation. The selected group for research consisted of (para)medical employees employed in social facilities Senior Homes in district of České Budějovice. Selected facilities having participated in the research wished to remain anonymous. The questionnaire included 30 questions. The questionnaires were distributed in selected social facilities to head nurses, having submitted them for the time of three weeks for filling in to the medical and nursing staff. In total 120 questionnaires were distributed. 97 of the were returned in filled-in form, the return rate was 80,83 %. In connection with the target of the thesis, two hypotheses were set. Hypothesis No. 1.: "Predominant risk factor of work conditions during the work in social facilities is physical load" and hypothesis No. 2.: "Employees of social services are informed of possible risks associated with executed work". It follows from questionnaires based on the analysed data that the alimentation and life style of employees are satisfactory. However, it follows from the comparison of the measured BMI values of employees with the results of the general population of the Czech Republic of 2013 that the research file suffers from overweight much more often. Hypothesis 1: "Predominant risk factor of work conditions during the work in social facilities is physical load". This hypothesis was not confirmed. It turned out that the physical load is not a predominant risk factor during the work in social facilities. The psychological load achieved the same level. I.e. it follows from the results that the employees do not consider the physical load as predominant risk factor of work conditions. Hypothesis 2: "Employees of social services are informed of possible risks associated with the executed work". This hypothesis was confirmed by the research. Information level of employees is more than satisfactory. It follows from the questionnaires that only in one facility the information level was unsatisfactory. A remedy was agreed there. Based on the indicated deficiencies, remedies were suggested in the form of the proposal of particular principles of preventive programme for selected workplaces of social services. This proposal has a form of a short leaflet and will be distributed into individual social facilities
