Medico ergo sum. Construction of symbolic inequalities and boundaries between physicians and healers /and their professional identity
Dostálová, Lenka ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Grygar, Jakub (referee)
My diploma thesis deals with the relationship and more specifically with the boundaries and inequalities between scientific medicine and alternative medicine from the constructionistic and interactionistic point of view. It explores how the boundaries are constructed by the representatives of biomedicine on one side and the representatives of alternative medicine on the other side. This thesis is based on a qualitative research - semi-standardised interviews with members of both systems of medicine. The state and the role of alternative medicine in czech setting is presented to the reader and the construction of boundaries in this context is explored. The thesis shows that the representatives of biomedicine build boundaries mainly based on moral aspects, while the representatives of alternative medicine have larger and more varied repertoire of boundaries. The fact is probably given by structural conditions and the role of alternative medicine - while the representatives of biomedicine "only" want to maintain the status quo, the representatives of alternative medicine struggle to change their situation, which requires bigger effort.

Rabová, Lenka ; Háva, Petr (advisor) ; Bodnár, Jan (referee)
Lenka Rabová, Vývoj přístupu zdravotní politiky k homeopatii na počátku 21. století Abstract The research theme of this thesis is the trend of raising disbelief of patients in Czech Republic in scientific medicine. The goal of the thesis is to reflect evolution of the homeopathy status in CZ from 1989 to present and to find causes and factors, for which patients prefers treatment by homeopathy, instead of scientific medicine. For the research, methods of (1) critical discourse analysis (CDA) (2) institutional analysis and (3) semi structured interview. The result: Homeopathy was tolerated between years of 1991-1996 by ČLS JEP. Worldwide studies of homeopathy gradually led to the summary of the assessment findings to the inefficiency of homeopathy. In the last five to ten years we can see strong critical and professional discourse on the national (CLS JEP, CLK Sysifos) and international (HNMRC, FDA) levels, which strongly aims against homeopathy. Homeopathy is being used by the patients because of lack of trust in scientific medicine, which is caused by commercializing of the scientific medicine, dissatisfaction of doctor's attitude, dissatisfaction of the methods and practices of scientific medicine, its results and absence of the holistic treatment. Part of the doctors also holds the critical attitude of...

Attitudes of physitians of the region of the South Bohemia to the unconventional medicine
ČÁBELKOVÁ, Petra
: This thesis focuses on monitoring attitudes of general practitioners in Southern Bohemia toward non-conventional medicine. In its theoretical part, the thesis deals with clarifying the concepts of non-conventional medicine, alternative medicine, and scientific medicine. Furthermore, the thesis describes various approaches to non-conventional medicine. In its practical part I examined the level of knowledge about non-conventional medicine among doctors. The research was conducted through anonymous questionnaires filled in by general practitioners. The questionnaires were then used for creating the charts. These charts indicate how doctors view various approaches to non-conventional medicine, to what extent they support using these methods among their patience, and how they view the quality of medical education in this area in the Czech Republic.

The personal motives of people to search for unconventional ways of treatment
LEFNEROVÁ, Ivana
In my bachelor thesis, I focused on searching for possible motives of people looking for the unconventional ways of the treatment. The aim of the study was to map these reasons, to find out why these people feel the need to amend the classical medicine or to completely divert away from it. The thesis has been divided into a theoretical and a research part. In the theoretical part, I deal with the scientific medicine, its history, successes, but also difficulties. Moreover, I describe some of the principles of the unconventional treatment methods and their reasons of existence, according to various authors. In the research part, the participating respondents are briefly characterized and their motives to search for unconventional treatment modalities are described. The selection of the research sample was carried out among the clients and therapists of alternative medicine using the ``snowballing{\crqq} method. To obtain the necessary data, the method of qualitative research, namely a semi-structured questionnaire method, was used. The obtained data were processed using the qualitative analysis. The outcome of the analysis of the responses is determination of the motives that people have to search for unconventional ways of treatment. Some of the reasons were identical among clients and therapists {--} ineffectiveness of the classical medicine, inconvenient pharmacotherapy, searching for the holistic approach, active attitude towards one{\crq}s health, searching for responsibility to oneself, unsatisfactory doctor-patient relationship, free choice of a method as well as a therapist. The results of the thesis might represent a resource for another, deeper investigation of this issue, e.g. in the field of disease prevention or when investigating the unconventional methods or the impact of belief on the treatment process, etc. Some of the motives resulting from the research might be inspiring for the whole medical system {--} improvement of the doctor-patient relationship, holistic approach towards the patients, reduction of pharmacotherapy.
