To discover which of the measurement tools were used for the assessment of quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP); to search for a specific tool that was validated and standardized directly for CP; to summarize the main areas of symptomatology that dominated the decrease overall in QoL in patients with CP. Methods: The method of the overall conceptualization approach was the analysis, comparison, critical discussion and summarization of the available results of studies researched between 2000 and 2014 in relevant databases. The analyzed studies were included in the selective sample according to predefined criteria. This paper presents the results of a partial objective regarding a comprehensive research project. Results: The identified tools include the following questionnaires: SQUALA (1 study); SF-36 (4 studies); SF-12 (6 studies); EORTC QLQ-C30 in the form of QLQ-PAN26 (3 studies). A specific and new tool is PANQOLI (1 study). The most significant factor of decreased QoL included pain; other factors were: chronic diarrhoea, digestion issues, diabetes mellitus, severity and length of disease, number of relapses and comorbidities, loss of job, unemployment, early retirement, financial issues, sleeping issues, fatigue. On the contrary, the aetiology had no effect on QoL; the same applies to surgery or endoscopic therapies. Conclusion: To assess QoL the following questionnaires were used: subjective QoL questionnaires specific for chronic diseases, and a questionnaire originally intended for patients with tumour diseases. This shows a degree of interest in the area of QoL in CP patients. The sum of the findings can be used for a comparison between domestic results and to identify the dominant CP symptoms. A great challenge is the standardization and linguistic validation of the PANQOLI questionnaire in the Czech sociocultural environment.

Jihočeská univerzita v Českých Budějovicích, Zdravotně sociální fakulta, katedra sociální práce a sociální politiky Summary Salesians of Don Bosco are a catholic religious order, which is traditionally aimed at work with children and youth from socially weak and threatened groups. In the Czech Republic, they are successfully involved in the organization of free-time and extra-school educational activities for Romany children and youth. In addition to the varied offer of favourable activities, there are also friendly relationships between assistants and clients, which results in high rate of regular visits of Romany people in the centres. Romany people are currently the most numerous minority in the Czech society, which traditionally exerts the largest differences and which is currently considered by the majority as most problematic in many respects. However, the problems are two-sided and frequently result from insufficient knowledge and understanding. They are based on differences in the traditional, currently essentially changing life style and value orientations in the Romany minority (Davidová at al., 2008). The article deals with the social work within the Romany community in České Budějovice, particularly with the activity of the Salesian centre of the youth-house of children and youth České Budějovice (henceforth SaSM). In the next part, the author presents results of and outputs from the project named Motivation factors in the work of Salesians with Romany young people, which was completely funded by the Grant Agency of the University of South Bohemia (GA JU) in České Budějovice (GA JU 21/2006/ H-ZSF, principal investigator Mgr. David Urban). The research was implemented in 2007. Its purpose was to provide mapping of factors motivating clients of the Romany oratory (Romany children visiting the SaSM) for regular visits and participation in programmes arranged by the SaSM in České Budějovice, Ostrava and Teplice. The technique of questionnaire examination was employed for the data accumulation. This was implemented by the form of short interviews with subjects (the interviewers were Salesian assistants and volunteers) with subsequent recording the questions into the questionnaires. The results of the research indicated that the considerable variety of activities is one of the most important factors motivating for the participation in the programme of Salesian centres of the youth and that the possibility of sport activities was considered as most positive. Further important factors were friendly relationships between members of the centre and clients and the presence of Romany assistants in the centre.
