Social acceptability of smoking and unintended consequences of tobacco control in the Czech Republic
Pešková, Olga ; Nekola, Martin (advisor) ; Tušková, Eva (referee)
The diploma thesis "Social acceptability of smoking and unintended consequences of tobacco control in the Czech Republic" offers an understanding of the question whether the smokers in the Czech Republic are stigmatized in connection with denormalization strategies, whether and how public policies contribute to them and what their unintended negative consequences on the health of citizens in various forms. Research from a semi-structured in- depth interview with smokers revealed that they perceive that smoking is neither normal nor modern. While there was no stigmatization among respondents, as demonstrated abroad, some elements suggesting stigmatization were present. Some smokers feel that they are negatively perceived by the neighborhood, as manifested by their relatives, as well as negative verbal and nonverbal expressions from the wider environment. The negative consequences of stigmatization in respondents to this research, unlike foreign experiences, did not show up in the social and health spheres and did not imply a significant change in cigarette consumption of a given smoker. The influence of public policies on stigmatization of smokers has also not significantly materialized in this research.

Czech healthcare in relation to doctors in hospitals Kristýna Kadlecová Abstract In recent decades, researches focused on doctors attend to the fact that the "unhappy doctors" became a worldwide phenomenon. In the Czech Republic dissatisfaction was publicly revealed in connection with the strike of doctors. The problem that is amplified after transformation are poorly thought out, unilaterally oriented changes in the organizational arrangements that have an impact on hospitals and by extension, as well as a physician. Doctors perform the economic and managerial role in addition to medical one. The key issue is how physicians perceive these pressures and how it affects their working conditions. The aim of this research work is discontent of contemporary Czech doctors working in hospital, i.e. the causes of conflict between their expectations and reality of their labor and other conditions, as developed in the last 20 years, and especially in the last 2 years when there was a radicalization of representation of interests of hospital doctors in the country. In the empirical part is used qualitative research method - semi-structured interviews with physicians. Based on the research, we can observe a situation which devalues the profession of doctor and patient is also affected, which leads into other problems....

Wolfová, Magdaléna ; Tušková, Eva (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
The subject of this diploma thesis is the involvement of users of psychiatric care in the process of planning and realization of psychiatric care reform at the macro level of policy making. The aim of the research is to describe and understand this involvement. In the research are describer possibilities of participation in the phases of involvement, its form, purpose, formal regulation of opportunities, expectations of respondents, perceived power and barriers in involvement. The data was collected during interviews with key actors and studies of relevant documents. The results relate to the theoretical concepts of coproduction, patient-oriented care, strategic and human rights documents (the Convention on the Human Rights of People with Disabilities). The element of power is described through the typology of Sherry Arnstein's participation ladder. Evidence of interviews indicates elements of tokenism and disadvantages. There is a low (one-person) representation of users in reform bodies, lack of time for discussion in consultative bodies, lack of information and lack of capacity (people, time, resources) for greater development of patient organizations. Respondents have identified barriers as the socio-economic situation, lack of capacity for macro-level involvement, mental health constraints or...
Human rights for persons with cognitive impairment in the social services
Čápová, Helena ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Tušková, Eva (referee)
In modern European society, there is not the slightest doubt that all people, regardless of gender, age, race, and health status have the same rights as guaranteed, which are called human rights. According to the existing laws and agreements (referred to in the work) and according to the generally accepted rules, the human rights are inalienable, with the exception of serious and precisely specified reasons. This work deals with the problem of how to balance this elementary right with the fact that for people with cognitive impairment it is sometimes necessary to carefully consider some form of restriction of their rights. The aim of this work is to find a definition of the human rights for the elderly with cognitive impairment. Secondary objectives are to describe the social services standards in relation to human rights and the subjects who are involved in supervising the observance of the rights, and the current status. The selected issues were viewed through the implementation theory, the concept of street-level bureaucracy, and the quality of life. The thesis is based on analysis of available secondary data and expert interviews. The acquired data show that although in the Czech Republic there are a number of institutions dealing with human rights, only a few of them are concerned with the rights of...
The influence of family environment on the alcohol consumption and smoking in adolescents
Strnadová, Mirka ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Tušková, Eva (referee)
This bachelor thesis describes the phenomenon of alcohol and cigarette consummation among young people in the Czech Republic using the theory of social deviation. The following chapters focus on various topics, for example legislative measures connected to this issue, harmfulness of the substances included in alcohol and cigarettes, the family functions that can affect this behaviour or the possible addiction to the addictive substances as one of the health determinants. Deviation is characterized as an excessive consummation of these addictive substances as the regular consummation of alcohol and cigarettes is common enough that it is considered normal. Czech students appear among the first ten countries in the consummation of alcohol and cigarettes. Their behaviour can be affected for example by sex, type of school, average grades but mainly by bad habits of their friends. According to hypotesis of social deviation the most endangered should be young people coming from incomplete, non-educated families with lot of members. These families lack rules and have bad emotional connections between their members. Analysis of both alcoholism and smoking confirmed the influence of completeness and education of family, the rules in the family and the emotional connections between parents and children. The...
