Problems of eating disorders as seen from the point of view of the theory of the social construction of reality: The causes and consequences of eating disorders in relation to family background
ROKOSOVÁ, Silvie
The presented thesis deals with problems of eating disorders (hereinafter abbreviated to EDs). The theoretical framework is the Social Construction of Reality; a concept saying that the individual perceives reality - as a phenomenon formed and determined socially - in the way it is presented by the "power structures" of the society. The thesis pays special attention to the aetiology of these disorders, laying emphasis on family factors. The aim of the thesis refers to one of the topics resulting from my Bachelor thesis, when it appeared worthwhile to work up in detail the problem of subjectively seen factors substantial for onset of EDs. Thus the aim of the thesis was to map which factors the persons suffering from EDs as well as members of their families consider to be significant for onset of the disease - either their own or their daughter´s /sister´s on one hand and EDs generally on the other hand - and what led them to take their stand, in so doing two ranges of time were mapped. The set of persons under review was represented by the same respondents as in case of research for the Bachelor thesis. In order to ensure mapping of the above-mentioned problem in the most possible complex way, a qualitative research strategy was chosen. The necessary data was obtained by employing the technique of deep semi-structured interviews, then the data was processed using qualitative analysis of the respondents´ statements. Part of the research work was also confrontation of the collected and processed data with specialised resources. On the basis of the results of our research it is evident that the factor causing onset and development of the respondents´ or their daughter´s/sister´s EDs mentioned most often is family background. Unlike the Bachelor thesis, this factor was rather mentioned as one of many; it is not so dominant any longer. This may be explained by the fact that the patients spoke about their situations under the influence of other factors that experts had been emphasising. As for EDs generally, then the respondents mostly mentioned desire to be slim, which, however, has now substantially fallen into the shade. This may be explained by the respondents´ experience with EDs. It may be said that in taking their standpoints, family members were much more influenced by information from specialised resources than the persons suffering from EDs themselves, who mostly took their stand on the basis of their own conviction. Our research shows that for persons suffering from EDs, family background was not a source of information on the problem of these disorders. The research pointed out the importance of engaging the family in solving the problem of EDs as well as the necessity of individual approach to each case of this disease. The presented thesis may be a helpful source of information not only for people interested in the problem of EDs; it may also serve as materials for instruction in the medical social field, and last but not least it can be used to bring more information to the general public.

The theoretical part involves fundamental information about eating disorders, which means general characteristics of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Also abnormal disorders such as binge eating, orthorexia nervosa, bigorexia and drunkorexia are introduced here. This work further deals with risk factors that participate in developing these disorders, states the health risks resulting from these diseases and their treatment. The thesis also mentions both the links of eating disorders to the obesity and the relationship of these disorders with trendy lowering diets. Also a brief BMI characteristics is introduced. The conclusion of the work is devoted to the prevention of eating disorders. The practical part of the thesis presents the results based on my research. It had the form of blind questionnaires for two groups of students from the Secondary Grammar School of Milevsko and the Vocational School of Milevsko. The questionnaires focussed on the students? awareness of eating disorders issue, of optimum BMI and it also focused on their personal experience with lowering diets. Overall results of the research show that the students are roughly informed about the issue, however, it is essential to supply them with lacking information and focus on prevention at tender age. At the same time it is important not to underestimate dieting, as lowering diets pose a big risk for developing these disorders and not to neglect lack of information regarding the BMI values.

Diferences in body image in eating disorders and obesity
PULCOVÁ, Klára
ABSTRACT Eating disorders (mental anorexia and bulimia) and obesity entail grave health, social and economic problems, and lead to detrimental health consequences, often irreversible consequences. Currently the disorders affect about 6% of population, with young girls particularly vulnerable and 16% of women obese. As the relevant surveys reveal, these figures are constantly on the rise. Apart from producing somatic symptoms, both the disorders, anorexia and bulimia, have been observed to bring about typical negative emotions and maladaptive cognition, first and foremost a distorted (negative) self-image focused on inappropriate perception of own body also known as the body image. The paper aims to find out and mutually compare features characteristic of the body image issues as they relate to the eating disorders and obesity / excessive weight. The paper is based on a survey combining qualitative and quantitative research strategies. To collect data, both strategies employed the technique of inquiry - the qualitative part relied on the theory of semi-structured interviews while the quantitative part used a questionnaire. The data thus acquired were processed by quantitative and qualitative procedures. Building on the previous Bachelor paper intended to map the issues of body image in persons with eating disorders, this paper expands the previous survey set of women suffering the condition and adds a new set of obese females. Results of the qualitative part of the survey brought about hypotheses on how the mentioned disorders affected the body image. The quantitative part of the survey revealed similar characteristics in the perceived body image in both the sets, but disclosed also some differences. Significant differences were found when the body image of the diseased persons was compared with that encountered in healthy population. This paper can boost the awareness of this subject in lay public but also in professional community, primarily where psychotherapy and prevention are regarded.

Psychosomatic approach to treatment of food intake disorders
ROKOSOVÁ, Silvie
Contingent problems arising from food intake disorders (henceforth only FID or ``PPP{\crqq} in Czech) involve a broad range of bio-psycho-social aspects of life. Thus, FID are being viewed as a sign of disrupted balance amongst the different facets of life. The objective of this undergraduate thesis is to point out the role of the psychosomatic approach to treatment of FID, and the necessity of emphasizing this approach and adopting it in practice. In the process of mapping the issue of applying psychosomatic approach in the treatment of FID as comprehensively as possible, I applied a qualitative research methodology. The aim was to draw up an overview of the situation from the perspective of persons who had undergone such treatment {--} concretely, patients over 18 years of age and their adult family members {--} in order to find out whether the concerned person{\crq}s treatment was adequately comprehensive. Another objective of my qualitative research was to record the opinions of individual specialists and their general attitude to the given subject. For data collection I used the technique of semi-structured conversations, which I processed according to qualitative analyses of the respondents` answers. The result of these analyses enabled me to determine the factors that the patients and their family members considered fundamental for the onset, progress, and treatment of FID, as well as the aspects that specialists consider important in connection with the onset, progress, and treatment of patients suffering from FID. The work on my undergraduate thesis led me to an important finding, namely, the importance of a comprehensive approach to the treatment of FID, where the singularity of individual cases is highly relevant. Treatment of FID should be flexible and take into account the changing social conditions as well as the complexity of these disorders. Solution finding for the complex issues involved in FID requires a sufficient number of experienced specialists, and prevention plays a very important role as well.

The Risk Factors and General Awareness of Eating Disorders at Pupils Attending Elementary School from the 6th to 9th class
VÁVROVÁ, Eva
This thesis deals with the issue of eating disorders of pupils attending upper primary schools of rural and urban type. The issue of eating disorders is very complex and public often fails to understand it. People do not see the fact that the food and its rejection can turn into a real habit. Eating disorders are not only observed in young women, but also increasingly in children and adolescents. Eating disorders involve serious psychosomatic disorders, significantly affecting the mental and physical status. Thus, they may very negatively affect personality development from childhood to adulthood. They are accompanied with many somatic problems and complications and they can have a very negative influence to the overall health status of an individual. Eating disorders cause long-term problems not only to patients themselves but also to their families, spouses and friends. It is very easy to fall ill with eating disorder, but is very hard to get better.
