AB The paper deals with the presentation of partial results of the research which was conducted in order to evaluate the life satisfaction of people with mental disabilities who live in selected sheltered houses in Olomouc and Zlín regions. Further, the research is concerned with different strategies leading to stress management among workers in this platform. Quality of life is a multidimensional concept that has gained considerable attention in recent years. It is used primarily to evaluate personal satisfaction, as a quality indicator of service and success. It has a major impact on the mental development of the individual and his mental well-being. Variable aspects are not only time but also the experience that an individual acquires throughout life. In this process, the staff accompanying them to the path of independence plays indispensable part. The higher demands are placed on the staff that are therefore more vulnerable to stress and situations that produce this defensive reaction of the organism. Partial results of the research were obtained with the support of the student grant IGA_PdF_2015_003 Perception of the subjective impact of disability / presence of chronic illness and the concept of health awareness and literacy at Palacky University in Olomouc.The questionnaire of life satisfaction in the Czech translation by Rodný, Rodná (2011) was administered to 50 subjects in order to establish the life satisfaction in various areas: health, labor and employment, financial situation, leisure, person itself, social relationships, and housing. The results were compared with 50 subjects from Zlin and Moravian-Silesian region, where the Quality of Life Questionnaire by Shalock, Keith (1993), the Czech version mediated by Quip, was administered. This issue is closely connected with partial results of multidimensional self-observational inventory that captures individual tendency to use different ways of responding to stress in stressful situations. Construct applied in 32 subjects from Olomouc and Zlin region was a standardized questionnaire Stress Management Strategies SVF 78 by Janke, Erdmann in Czech translation by Švancara (2003). Partial results of the research were presented at the international (Slovak Republic) and domestic conferences (Olomouc, Hradec Králové) and complete results will be presented in an upcoming publication.
