Psychological counselling centre for students of Health and Social Studies at the University of South Bohemia. Preparation of specialized service
CHUDÁ, Lenka
The thesis consists of theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part defines basic problems which students have to deal with and which can be resolved through psychological help. Furthermore, there is the definition of counselling and its application in the university environment. I also bring a brief history of university psychological counselling both abroad and in our country. An important part of this work is qualitative research in three selected specialized departments of universities, dealing with university students and staff. I performed the research by using semi-structured interviews with representatives of counselling. The fundamental part of the whole work (practical part) presents quantitative research, in which I will focus on results of the analysis, which covered 20% of the students of Health and Social Studies University of South Bohemia in the České Budějovice. Hypotheses were as follows: half of the respondents will wish the emergence of University psychological counselling in our faculty and more than 50% of students want to discuss within the counselling study problems. The first hypothesis was confirmed - 71% of respondents were positive with regard to the establishment of a specialized institute. The second assumption was not filled only 18% of respondents declared to discuss within the counselling study problems. However, quantitative research also brings some other interesting findings. 99% of respondents consider psychological help to be useful, although only a small portion of them have direct or indirect experience with its use. With this finding diverges very weak awareness of particular knowledge of university psychological counselling in České Budějovice. An interesting result is the relatively high number of respondents who would be willing to financially participate in the payment of consultation in the university counselling. The whole work brings not only important findings concerning opinions and attitudes of students who were questioned but also incentives to fulfil their potential.
