Quality of Life and Its Understanding by Mental Health Patients in the Paprsek nadeje Centre
BARTOŠÍKOVÁ, Radka
In this thesis I would like to acquaint the reader with the impact of mental illness on human. In my thesis I focus on the psychosocial impact of the illness in the form of the assistance to an ill person, the quality of interpersonal relationships and quality of social interactions linked to the stigma. The essence of research in the social field were the findings concerning the living conditions of the client, client's activities and leisure time activities or the manners of support in illness. An important task of the client was to respond to questions about the hardships in life. The paper also deals with the knowledge of the physical, mental and spiritual qualities. It focuses on the comparison and awareness of the role of illness and pharmacotherapy as a limiting factor in the perception of quality life. It refers to the material conditions of these people, emerging drug addiction and subjective values and a feeling of well lived life in general. An important element of my research is to detect clients? life goals and to record their life satisfaction using "scale of life satisfaction." My goal was to map the real quality of life of the clients of the centre Paprsek naděje and the key aspects of the experience of life and how the meeting of the individual needs of the client affects the quality of life from their own perspective. The results were then evaluated and compared with Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with the classification of mental illnesses, their prognosis and treatment. I emphasize the disorder schizophrenia as a contemporary phenomenon, and finally the quality of life and the various aspects that affect it - the status of the ill person in the family, society, work and isolation. The empirical part is devoted to the research itself. For research I used qualitative research methods and techniques of semi-structured interview supplemented by observations. The research group consists of 5 clients of the centre Paprsek naděje in the age range of 28-59 years. I carried out one pilot study before the research itself. The resulting data were processed and put in tables and graphs, evaluated and compared in the discussion and conclusion. Part of the research was realized using the Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life, SEIQoL. Using this method, I examined individual life goals of each client, their importance and satisfaction with their achievements. Overall I responded to one main research question and two sub-questions. I consider the findings of abnormal invalidity and unemployment, high levels of stigmatizing experience, lack of active free time and physical activity, emerging drug addiction or lack of interpersonal relationships as the crucial results negatively affecting quality of life. Physical decrepitude is always a present component. The research also showed occasional unfamiliarity with diagnosis. Positives can mainly be seen in family support and in the quality of family relationships, also in sufficient material sources and in family and spiritual priorities. It is essential that compared with the Maslow's hierarchy, it was found that it has preserved its traditional arrangement in the process of meeting the needs. The content of individual needs was however varied in each of its individual parts. I have also learned that mental illness limits clients greatly for example in the context of culture and their interests and that there are also limitations to the parental instinct caused by fear of the large amount of responsibility and the impact of their illness to their children. An unexpected finding was the satisfaction of all clients with material sources. Similarly, the clients see their mental illness as a certain way of realizing satisfaction.

GIERTLOVÁ, Petra
Schizophrenia is a servus mental illness. The majority of people suffering from this illness require lifelong treatment. The prevalence of risk factors such as development of cardiovascular dinase, diabetes, dyslipidemia, overweight, obesity is higher with regard to the patiens with schizophrenia. A large number of these people have bad rating habits, lack of physical aktivity and nicotine dependence. The use of antipsychotik mediactions also contributes to increased storage of fat and overweight.This Bachelor Thesis consists of teoretici and practical part. The theoretical part, based on the professional literature, describes malnutrition, schizophrenia and its different types, treatment and risks associated with this illness. The practical part focuses on research the main objektive of wich is to find out the incidence of malnutrition among patiens with schizophrenia, the influence of antipsychotik medication and surfy whether the nursing staff at the Nursing home with special care in Libníč is sufficiently informed. The survey is accomplished by means of the qualitative method using non-standardized interview. Research file consists of data submitted by four general nurses from the aforementioned Nursing home. The analysis of health documentation reveals that the majority of schizophrenic patiens suffer from other illness, such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia. The results of this surfy prove that nursing staff are sufficiently informed and aware of possible risk factors associated with the development of cardiovascular dinase with regard to the schizophrenic patiens due to incorrect rating nabits or antipsychotik medication. The interview with the nurses implicates that malnutrition is considered as undernourishment. Accordingly, they identify nutrition care with the work of nutrition therapist and his care of patient nutrition. The nurses are aware of nutrition support. However, they have low level of knowledge regarding the products of modular dietetics.The main objective of this work is to demonstrate that schizophrenic patiens are in Langer of higher mortality and morbidity rate, not only as a results of thein illness, but also due to the antipsychotik medication treatment and inappropriate life style. This is the mason why the nutrition care should not be marginalized, nor neglected during the treatment of mental illnesses.
