Social consequence on the families where a member is drug addicted.
RUDOVÁ, Lucie
Abstract {--} Social consequence on the families where a member is drug addicted This current issue is considered to pose a social phenomenon of significant consequence. Together with further social problems of the day, drug addiction and its impacts rank worldwide among the most burning issues, particularly in terms of their reflection in the media. Recently, the issue of drug legalisation has often been discussed widely in the media leaving the impact of drug addiction on the families stricken with this problem out of consideration. At first, the drug addiction affects solely the addicted family member, but in the course of time, drug addiction is bound to become a burning issue for the whole family. It depends on each individual family member and their level of the development of protective mechanisms which directly correlate with their chance to master this stressor, the occurrence of drug addiction within the family. The objective of my bachelor paper has been to evaluate the social impact of drug addiction on other family members. In relationship with this objective a hypothesis has been formulated - The social impact of drug addiction on a family the members of which are drug addicted is socially significant and traumatising for the other family members. A quantitative research has been carried out in family members, whose close relatives have been treated for drug addiction. The psychiatric clinic Červený Dvůr and its highly qualified and trained medical staff provided the necessary terms and conditions for this field research. Only 44 percent of the respondents were ready and willing to participate in the research, which shows that this topic still presents a highly sensitive issue, even a taboo, for families with a drug addicted member, as these families strive to protect their private sphere and do not tend to make their drug addiction family problem public. The questionnaire was focussed on the detection of the social impact related to drug addiction within the family. Thus, the responses presented a basis for determining the rate and significance of the social impact of drug addiction on the individual respondents. The results of the research section of this bachelor paper actually showed both the social significance of the drug issue and its high traumatic rate for stricken families. The objective of the presented bachelor paper has thus been fulfilled and the results have proved the correctness of the hypothesis.

Unplanned pregnancy issues of drug-addicted women.
SALVOVÁ, Denisa
At present the number of drug addicted women who incidentally become pregnant is increasing. The children of such woman usually end in care of their grandparents, in infantile institutions and children homes. It is important to prevent unplanned and unwanted pregnancies in drug addicted women. Institutions providing service to drug addicted should concentrate on prevention of unplanned pregnancy. Women should be informed on risks of possible pregnancy in the context of their drug addiction. If a woman becomes pregnant and pregnancy is wanted it is necessary to enable a women treatment which would take into account the stay of a mother with a child. The impossibility of treatment of a mother with a child is a very discouraging factor of treatment. Most of drug addicted women are not willing to admit their drug addiction because they are afraid of losing a child. The cooperation of treatment facilities and gynaecology-maternity departments of hospitals should be common. With regard to the insufficient treatment facilities enabling common stay, it is not easy to ensure that a mother and her child start treatment in time. The more available the treatment for a mother the more probable is the mother ´s decision for the treatment. It is necessary to build the net of treatment facilities where mothers would be enabled to undergo the treatment with their children.

Confrontation of selected pupils risk behaviour at Elementary school and Practical Elementary school in Rapšach
KEPKOVÁ, Jana
For my bachelor thesis I chose the topic ?The Comparison of Selected Risk Behaviour of Elementary School Pupils in the Elementary School and Elementary Practical School in Rapšach?. Risk behaviour is not a problem of the Czech Republic or Europe only, but it is a global problem. As its result, there are disruptions of the normal development of individuals in various areas of human life. If risk behaviour develops at an early age, its consequences may be even more serious and they may affect the individual?s upcoming life. Risk behaviour affects both the biological and psychological sides as well as the social side. In spite of that, the age at which an individual engages in risky behaviour decreases. Data for this work was collected on the basis of quantitative research, the method of questioning and the technique of an anonymous questionnaire. On the basis of the data, previously established hypotheses were verified or falsified. The respondents were interviewed in the presence of an administrator at school, but with the exclusion of their teachers or other similar authorities close to them who could affect the validity of the collected data. The thesis includes a theoretical part, which further describes the selected types of risk behaviour, the statistical evaluation of their occurrence and also the characteristics of the period of life, in which the respondents are. The practical part sets the objectives, it describes the course of the actual research and also discusses with the authors from which I drew. The objective of the research was to map the occurrence of selected types of risk behaviour among the pupils in the second half of their education at the Elementary School and Elementary Practical School in Rapšach and then to compare the obtained data with each other. The research shows that a certain type of risk behaviour is more typical for boys and another for girls, as well as some phenomena are increasingly encountered in the Elementary School and others at the Elementary Practical School. It is, however, not exceptional that certain phenomena occur in almost comparable representation in all of the respondents. The results of the thesis can be used in practice for the needs of additional research, education, implementing more effective programmes of primary prevention, for school prevention needs, and for the creation of minimum prevention programmes, etc.

Pupil´s experiences with marihuana at primary school in Havličkův Brod
DUBEN, Martin
Abstract This Bachelor paper deals with the subject of experience that pupils of basic schools in Havlíčkův Brod have of using marijuana. The theoretical section describes the cannabis plant and marijuana proper; its effects; the methods of use; and the detrimental impacts the drug has on health and personality. Moreover, the section tackles the issues of drug addiction development as the process is related to taking marijuana itself, tobacco products and other drugs. The author has also addressed (1) the possibilities available to prevent the addiction at all levels; (2) the risk factors predisposing children and youth to abuse drugs and experiment with them; and last but not least (3) the anti-addiction policy and the principle acts of the relevant legislation applicable in the Czech Republic. The paper aimed to map the use and misuse of marijuana and tobacco products; to reveal the ways, forms and intensity of using marijuana in the pupils of basic schools; and to disclose the reasons behind using the drug and the scope of using tobacco in the basic school pupils. The paper examines three hypotheses. Hypothesis 1 predicts that smokers of tobacco products will have wider experience of marijuana than non-smokers. Hypothesis 2 predicts that boys will have more extensive experience of using marijuana than girls. Hypothesis 3 predicts that the town of Havlíčkův Brod will have greater incidence of marijuana abuse than the rest of the Czech Republic. The qualitative survey that the paper relies on has been conducted through an anonymous questionnaire, where the sample of respondents has been chosen according to quotas, specifically with regard to the respondents' age, sex and their being pupils of the 9th form of basic schools in Havlíčkův Brod. To obtain information having the highest achievable validity and variability, the data were gathered in the different classes without any person of authority for the respondents being present. The data thus collected were then processed by the common statistical methods to prove the hypotheses true of false. Fifty nine percent of boys and 75% of girls were found to have experience of tobacco products. Marijuana was tried by 27% of boys and 21% of girls. The method of marijuana use encountered in both boys and girls was smoking, 26% and 18% respectively, and the reason mentioned most often by both boys and girls was curiosity, 18% in both cases. Twenty five percent of boys and 20% of girls admitted experience of marijuana and tobacco products, while 2% of boys and 2% of girls have experience of marijuana but not of the tobacco products. In the incidence rate of using marijuana Havlíčkův Brod with the figure of 24% keeps 1% below the Czech Republic average (25%).
