Jedna se o diplomovou praci s vyzkumnym zamerenim, konkretne o observacni analyticky vyzkumny design. Predmetem zkoumani byl strach z padu u senioru zijicich doma a v ustavnich zarizenich v okresu Blansko. Byly zjistovany signifikantni rozdily strachu z padu u dvou skupin participantu v okresu Blansko. Participanti byli rozdeleni do dvou skupin: seniori zijici doma (skupina A) a seniori zijici v ustavnich zarizenich (skupina B). Zkoumany soubor tvorilo 100 senioru, 50 senioru zijicich doma a 50 senioru zijicich v ustavnich zarizenich.

K vyhodnoceni dat byly vyuzity metody deskriptivni statistiky (absolutni a relativni cetnosti, prumer, smerodatna odchylka, minimum a maximum). K prijeti ci zamitnuti nulovych hypotez byly pouzity statisticke testy, konkretne chi-kvadrat test, Fisheruv exaktni test, neparametricky Mann-Whitney U test a neparametricky Kruskal-Wallis test. Normalita dat byla overena Shapiro-Wilkovym testem. K vytvoreni tabulek a grafu byl pouzit program Microsoft Excel, statisticka analyza byla provedena v programu Statistica verze 14. Pro stanoveni hypotez byla zvolena 5% hladina vyznamnosti.This is a thesis with a research focus, specifically an observational analytical research design. The subject of the study was the fear of falling among the elderly living at home and in residential institutions in the Blansko district. Significant differences in fear of falling were found between the two groups of participants in the Blansko district. Participants were divided into two groups: seniors living at home (group A) and seniors living in institutional facilities (group B). The study population consisted of 100 seniors, 50 seniors living at home and 50 seniors living in institutional settings. The interview method was used and a non-standardized socio-demographic questionnaire, a standardized questionnaire FES-I, a standardized questionnaire Index of Elderly Frailty - Short Scale for Physical Fitness Assessment and a standardized questionnaire Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Test were used as data collection tools. Descriptive statistics methods (absolute and relative frequencies, mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum) were used to evaluate the data. Statistical tests, namely chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test and non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test were used to accept or reject the null hypotheses. The normality of the data was verified by the Shapiro-Wilk test. Microsoft Excel was used to create tables and graphs, and statistical analysis was performed using Statistica version 14. A 5% significance level was chosen for hypothesis determination.
