Preventive politics of children's mental health problems in schools
Dománková, Hana ; Tušková, Eva (advisor) ; Kotherová, Zuzana (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on prevention and promotion in children's mental health on primary schools. Through mixed research design it explores institutional setting and current state of implementation of preventive and promoting activities at schools. It also gives a few "good practice" examples from other countries. The theoretical basis is drawn from public policy and health policy concepts - from public policy there is used the policy cycle framework, the governance concept and street-level bureaucracy theory. From health policy, this thesis uses the public health concept and primary prevention. The results show that meanwhile the issue of children's mental health prevention and promotion is taken very seriously on international level of governance and similar attitude was shown in schools themselves when questioned, the situation is different on the national level of governance. In particular, there is no explicit policy targeting this issue which leads to many inhomogeneous, fragmented activities on street-level (in schools) which then makes it very hard to evaluate, whether they have or have not the desired impact on children's mental health.
Nutrition as Childhood Obesity Prevention on Grammar Schools
Dománková, Hana ; Tušková, Eva (advisor) ; Kohoutek, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis is a case study of how the childhood obesity prevention with nutrition process is applied on grammar schools and what are the problems in this process, while the childhood obesity is viewed as a public health problem in this thesis. It is based on theoretical basis from public policy - implementation process and importance of street-level bureaucrats and overweight and obesity determinants where the nutrition plays the key role. To fulfil the goals of the thesis, there was used the institutional analysis of current legislative and institutional frame and interviews with street-level bureaucrats of educational policy. The results show that on institutional level, the childhood obesity problem is taken seriously and there are many suggestions of how to work on its' solution, however, the implementation of these solutions is on considerably worse level. The schools greatly underestimate their possible influence on nutrition habits of their students and they delegate all the responsibility of this part of education on family or only the school canteen itself.
