Kvapil, Michal ; Válková, Monika (advisor) ; Palánová, Tereza (referee)
The diploma is about the topic of multidisciplinarity in community care of people with mentally illness. I chose this topic because I meet clients who have lived for various periods of time knowing that they suffer of mental illness. Over time, I began deeply perceive how mental illnesses affect all areas of client's lives. In the modern sense of community-based psychiatric services, multidisciplinary cooperation should become a provider of more comprehensive, better quality and more effective services for people with mental illness who require health care, but also social care that facilitates inclusion in the society of people who suffer of mental illness. Multidisciplinary collaboration is an interdisciplinary collaboration in social and health services, illustrates different theories that use various terminologies. The collaboration of experts from different disciplines, in addition to the term multidisciplinary, can be referred also as interdisciplinary or intersectoral. Another reason for choosing the topic of the thesis is the increas of discussions and even practical steps within the Strategy of Psychiatric Reform in the Czech Republic. An integral part of the thesis is an introduction to mental health issues, it's history and current planned transformation, which is a priority within the...

This thesis explores the position of Person-Centred Approach (PCA) in the practice of Czech clinical psychologists and psychiatrists who went through the PCA psychotherapy training and they use this approach in their current clinical practice. The main principles of PCA theory (1), principles of biomedical model in which clinical practice is rooted (2) and the new forms of person-centred psychopathology and psychodiagnosis (3) are the theoretical background of the following research. Based on the qualitative analysis of five recorded interviews (three clinical psychologists, two psychiatrists) the experience of the respondents is organised as comprehensive concepts concerning various areas and topics of the clinical practice (diagnosis, psychotherapy, dealing with PCA, dealing with biomedical model, therapeutic relationship, relation to the profession). Several common mechanisms are identified in the concept's dynamics. Through these mechanisms Person-Centred Approach is applied in areas and activities mentioned. The concepts based on experience and the PCA application mechanisms enrich the theories and ongoing research of PCA practice in the Western mental health care.

Šilhanová, Andrea ; Válková, Monika (advisor) ; Mlejnková, Kristýna (referee)
In the thesis I examine current legislative anchoring of healthcare and social care of mental health. In the second chapter of theoretical part I write about classification of mental illnesses. Third chapter, which is very important from my point of view, describe transformation of healthcare and social care in the foreign countries. Practical part contains pilot survey for the Ministry of Health. The purpose was to find out the satisfaction of the clients with social and health services, which are part of the treatment of mental health. Satisfaction was detected by questionnaires, which patients had available with their ambulant psychiatrist. Those questionnaires were created at round tables by experts, patients and service providers in a hospital. Social care and healthcare do not connect. Experts do not communicate with each other. Tragical finding was that ambulant psychiatrist has in average thirteen minutes for examination of a client. Definitely Czech Republic need Centre for Mental Healthcare for complex care of the patient.

The creation and enforcement of psychiatric care reform in the Czech republic
Pluhař, Filip ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Kotherová, Zuzana (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to find and describe important moments that led to the enforcement of the psychiatric care reform. This reform was adopted 24 years after the fall of the communism. Until then, all attempts to change the psychiatric care system had failed. This healthcare segment has long been underfinanced and mainly institutional care prevails. Often, aftercare is not ensured, so it is very difficult for a person who is released from care to be involved in normal life. Also, stigmatization of people with mental illness prevails. Here, reform represents a solution to these and many other problems that the current psychiatry has. This research should answer the question why this strategy was successfully enforced and what was behind it. Using the theory of three currents and interviews with important actors, it discusses the various events and circumstances which have been used by the policy promoters to successfully achieve the approval of the reform. It examines the different motives of actors, their function and roles in the creation and promotion of the reform. The causes of enforcement are sought both in the Ministry of Health itself and in the EU or interest organizations outside the traditional institutions. The thesis can answer the question whether in this case it was the usual...

Evolution of nursing care of mentally ill patients: comparison Czech republic - Finland.
FILIPOVÁ, Eva
This bachelor thesis is focused on the history of nursing care for the mentally ill in the Czech Republic and Finland. It is written chronologically from ancient history to the present time. The whole thesis summarizes the development of nursing for the mentally ill, the system of care and education for nurses in psychiatry in the Czech Republic and Finland. The aim is to describe the development of nursing care for patients with mental disorders. The work deals with the system of mental health care and education for nursing staff in these countries. This thesis is theoretical. It was necessary to visit the Prague City Archives and the National Archives to obtain historical sources. Other important sources used in this thesis were professional literature, literature dealing with the issue in the present and historical books. In past, people thought that mental disorders are natural phenomena. In ancient times, the temples were established for mentally ill people. During that time, Greek physician and philosopher Hippocrates had great significance. In the Middle Ages, people with mental disorders were considered to be possessed by evil spirits, so treatment was mainly in isolation. In modern period, the first insane asylums were built. In the twentieth century psychiatry was influenced by Sigmund Freud with his theory about the origin of mental illness. The turning point of this time was also in the use of shock therapy and psychopharmacological discovery. Psychiatry deals with the development and strengthening of mental health and its prevention. The Czech Republic has a system of interconnected services in psychiatry, such as psychiatric clinic, clinical-psychological clinic, inpatient facilities and community care. Psychiatry in our country is under-funded, care is unsatisfactory and development is delayed compared to other countries of the European Union. Strategy for the reform of mental health care in our country has a goal to increase the quality of life of people with mental disorders. The current state is that outpatient psychiatrists are overloaded, and there is materially and technically outdated equipment in psychiatric hospitals. Our psychiatric care has much more institutional position, because it failed to systematically develop community psychiatry. But perspective is quite dense network of psychiatric and clinical-psychological clinics, which could help in moving the focus of care from inpatient facility into the natural environment of the client. The reform will also try to improve the education of nurses in psychiatry. According to Czech legislation, there is not a condition to be specialized in nurses working in psychiatry. Nurses, in the best possibility, should have university education that enables students to acquire the necessary knowledge for the profession. Even competencies are determined. Finland has a health care system based on taxes. Important medical centres provide prevention, medical examinations and screenings. Specialized care is provided in hospitals. Formerly more institutional care dominated, however today outpatient and community services greatly extended their service. Psychiatric hospitals were abolished, leaving only the psychiatric departments of general hospitals. Nursing education in Finland is carried out at the Universities of Applied Sciences. The nurse's role is health promotion, disease prevention and rehabilitation. The nurse in Finland is independent and responsible for the decisions made during the day which also supports the Code of Ethics for Nurses which is the last chapter of this thesis. The aim of the thesis is to map the development of nursing care for patients with mental disorders. One of the major findings is a significant evolution of psychiatry, when, at any time, psychiatry was viewed from different perspective. The work may serve as study material for students in medical fields, for professionals or for anyone interested in the history of psychiatry nursing.
