Dietary habits of patients in the schizophrenic spectrum
Krůčková, Dominika ; Kalinová, Nelly (advisor) ; Pehr, Martin (referee)
The thesis deals with the dietary habits of schizophrenic patients and the effect of anti- inflammatory food on the levels of inflammatory markers in the blood. Patients suffering from schizophrenia are observed to have poorer eating habits compared to healthy controls. These patients are more likely to consume saturated and trans unsaturated fatty acids and less likely to include fruit and vegetables, unsaturated fatty acids or fibre in their diet. At the same time these patients have a higher consumption of foods involved in promoting chronic inflammation and thus possibly worsening the symptoms of the disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate the dietary habits of schizophrenic patients using a semi-quantitative frequency questionnaire and to compare them with a control group without a psychiatric diagnosis. Furthermore, based on the findings from the DII to select foods from the questionnaire that contain components of or are themselves included in the anti-inflammatory food index and to determine whether the frequency of consumption of these foods correlates with blood levels of inflammatory markers. According to the results of this work the diet of schizophrenic patients can be considered less healthy compared to the control group due to lower consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables,...

Weight development in obese patients with mental illness
Starý, Kilián ; Kalinová, Nelly (advisor) ; Žůrková, Pavla (referee)
Introduction: Obesity and mental illness are serious health issues whose worldwide prevalence has been increasing in recent years. In particular, depression and anxiety can impair the capacity of obese patients to reduce weight, which is a necessary step in reducing the risk of life-threatening complications of obesity. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of baseline mental illness on weight development. For this purpose, a group of obese patients with either depression or anxious- depressive syndrome was selected. Relative change in weight over a 1-year period was selected as the main variable for comparison. One secondary objective was to compare outcomes in patients with psychiatric comorbidity by diagnosis. The second one was to assess the interaction between mental illness and female sex as predictors of poor weight loss outcomes. Methods: Data was collected in the Obesitology centre at the III. internal clinic - endocrinology and metabolism, 1st Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and General University Hospital in Prague. The research group (n=27) was selected from patients who underwent reduction hospitalisation between 2014 and 2021. The same was true for the control group (n=27) of obese patients without a psychiatric diagnosis. For all patients,...

Romantic Relationships and Borderline Personality Disorder
Kalinová, Nelly
This thesis focuses on the psychosocial functioning of couples including a woman diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. To describe their functioning, a study following 16 clinical couples was performed and their characteristics were compared with a control sample of 21 couples. Three areas were monitored: personality styles of partners of women with BPD, attachment dimensions and partner satisfaction and its interrelationships with the mentioned variables. Data were obtained using a test battery consisting of the following questionnaires: PSSI, ECR-R-16 and DAS (the subscale for partner satisfaction). The results of the study showed that the borderline personality style in women is associated with similar and complementary personality traits in their partners, while these features of the partner are significantly higher in comparison with the control sample. The research also confirmed the predominance of the insecure attachment in women with borderline personality disorder and their partners. Borderline personality disorder is also connected with lower partner satisfaction as compared with the control sample, and the degree of the satisfaction is negatively linked with borderline personality style and styles that are closely associated. Partner satisfaction also shows negative...
