Behavioral pattern as a suspected risc of the development of specific diseases
Šornová, Tereza ; Hrachovinová, Tamara (referee) ; Kebza, Vladimír (advisor)
V kasuistikách ani prostřednictvím dotazníkových metod jsme nezjistily nijak výraznou a plošně se vyskyttijící přítomnost specifických typů chování či jiných behaviorálních determinant, popisovaných v teoretické části práce. Zkoumaný soubor se vyznačoval výraznou interindividuální specifitou vzhledem k možným intervenujícím behaviorálním proměnným. Společným rysem by teoreticky mohlo být zatljetí profesionálním životem spolu s nízkým výskytem protektivních zájmových činností. Žádné specifické psychické dekompenzace jsme u osob z výběrového souboru globálně nezaznamenali. Častěji se vyskytoval obecný pocit osobní nepohody s individuálním sycením jejích negativních průvodních znaků. Vzhledem k dosavadní absenci jednoznačné odpovědi na otázku vztahu typu chováni a psychosociálních determinant ke zdraví člověka, stejně jako uceleného teoretického přístupu k této problematice jsme zastánci následujícího postupu v psychologické a lékařské praxi: Primární i sekundární péče by se měla soustředit na snížení miry škodlivého vlivu různých aspektů negativní emotivity a chování s ohledem na genetické dispozice jedince. Detekce rizik je otázkou pečlivé rodinné a osobní anamnézy zaměřené na psychosociální, biologické a environmentální determinanty. Následná intervence by se měla odvíjet od detekované přítomnosti...
