The specifics of emergency medical services care of mental health patients
DUPAL, Jakub
The specifics of emergency medical services with care of mental health patients Abstract The topic of this bachelor thesis is "The specifics of emergency medical services with care of mental health patients." The aim of this bachelor thesis is to map the types of procedures used in this area. We have divided this thesis into several parts. The first part of this thesis is theoretical, we deal with the characteristics of the personality traits of paramedic and related competences, because I consider competences in this area as crucial. In the second part, this thesis deals with the communication which represents fundamental ability of every paramedic. The last third of the theoretical work depicts and defines mental illnesses covered in this thesis. Next part of this bachelor thesis represents a research, we have used following questions to formulate research: VO 1: What are the procedures of a paramedic in contact with a mentally ill person? VO 2: What are the specifics in the work of operator in the medical operation center with a mentally ill person? VO 3: What are the risks in the work of paramedic with mentally ill person? The aim of this bachelor thesis was to deal with the procedure of paramedics and operators in medical operation center in the contact with mentally ill patients, whose state requires immediate emergency medical care provided by Emergency Medical Service. The additional aim of this bachelor thesis was to monitor the potential risks of providing emergency medical care to patients with mental illnesses. The result of our research was to answer the set research questions. The answer to question VO 1 was that there is a set of procedures used in the contact with mentally ill patients, but we cannot use them to all possible states. The answer to VO 2 was similar to VO 1, operators in medical operation center use certain procedures, but it is up to their immediate decision how they deal with the receiving call. The answer to VO 3 was that the risk for paramedic in the work with mentally ill patient is potential emergence of aggression. Another risk is the communication itself. Paramedics have to know their possibilities in dealing with this situation and they have to be aware of their legal boundaries too.

The first chapter explains terms like: mental health or social work. The chapter also deals with the specifics of social work with people with mental illnesses. The second chapter is an introduction to the organization FOKUS Vysočina and specifically the work of the community teams. The chapter intorduces the target group, working representation, job description and methods of work in this organization. The third chapter explains the concept of peer support. It also focuses on the work of peer consultants in FOKUS Vysočina. The end of this chapter is partially composed of individual stories of peer consultants who work in FOKUS Vysočina. The stories inclu-de a personal view of the peer consultant's topic and its potential influence on the re-covery of clients. The thesis shows that the peer consultant is necessary and very significant for community teams. The statements of the peer consultants do not contradict the results of the studies and the knowledge from literature.

Mental health support and activation of people with mental illness from the point of view of a special pedagogue
Cimbálová, Lucie ; Janyšková, Kristýna (advisor) ; Bartoňová, Miroslava (referee)
This thesis focuses on the forms and methods of support for individuals with mental illness aimed at helping them to return to normal life. The individual chapters of the thesis deal with the historical milestones of the emergence of psychiatry, the classification of mental illness and quality of life issues. Therefore, the most used therapeutic methods and strategies of working with clients are defined in the text, which lead to the adoption of appropriate daily habits, improvement of mental health and thus quality of life. The work also focuses on interdisciplinary cooperation, which, in addition to medicine, permeates other disciplines, namely psychology, social work and special education. The topic of my research is timely as an increasing number of people with mental illness are seeking professional help. Therefore, all team members should have sufficient knowledge of the symptomatology and nature of each psychiatric diagnosis. In order for interdisciplinary collaboration to be meaningful, the competencies of the individual professionals must be clearly defined. This creates an interconnected set of services aimed at making the person's integration into society and everyday life as easy as possible. KEYWORDS Mental health support; activation; therapy; mental illness; day care centre; stigma of...

Nothing tastes as good as hunger (television documentary about anorexia)
Slavíková, Kristýna ; Macková, Veronika (advisor) ; Lokšík, Martin (referee)
Eating disorders (abbreviated as ED) are complex mental illnesses that manifest not only on the level of the mind, but also have a profound effect on the physical health of patients. Individuals who suffer from one of the types of ED often face a significantly reduced quality of life, as well as misunderstandings and unfounded prejudices from the general public. Arguably the most well-known variant of the disease is anorexia nervosa, which is also one of the psychiatric diagnoses with the highest mortality rate. Although the incidence of the disease has increased in recent years, for example as a result of social media and the COVID-19 pandemic, audiovisual coverage of the topic has lagged behind, as there are few recent films dealing with the disease. The television documentary, Nothing Tastes as Good as Hunger, therefore seeks to bring the audience closer to living with anorexia through the authentic story of 19-year-old Tereza Putišová, giving viewers an uncensored insight into the mind of a girl who has her own rich experience of the disease.

In the theoretical part, the psychotic disorder is first briefly defined and several stimulating psychological interpretations are outlined. An overview of the history of the relationship of psychology and religion follows. The next chapter summarizes some religious interpretations of psychosis.

Psychiatry, mental illness and culture
Müller, Matyáš ; Komárek, Stanislav (advisor) ; Fulka, Josef (referee)
The aim of the dissertation is to treat psychiatry and mental illness from the anthropological point of view. The topic is treated at three levels. First, I describe psychiatry as a specific culture's product, and I explore how it constitutes itself as an unbiased science. I conclude that in spite of developing its scientific aspect, its human-science aspect is neglected, stuck in the 19th century's paradigm of evolutionism. Although there is a number of sources of a new less scientistic and ethnocentric and more reflexive paradigm nowadays, it still seems to be more a vision than reality due to the institutional toughness of the present paradigm. Second, I study "mental illness" as an abstract concept. I ask if the Western psychiatry's classification is universal and I explore various culturally specific forms of mental illness and its conceptualizations. Third, partially grounded in my fieldwork, I ask how abstract psychiatric terminology is embodied in a concrete human being and how the sufferer's point of view differs from the one of the professional in the mental health care. The dissertation intends to show that despite all the three levels being interlocked, their unity is not self-evident but is always constructed and contested.
