Prevention of violence against children at primary schools
BENEŠOVÁ, Zuzana
Violence committed against children is a serious problem, on which each of us should be sufficiently informed. It is a socially unacceptable phenomenon violating human rights. Cases of children torment, abuse and neglect have been still more frequently covered in media recently. It is very important for prevention of this social pathological phenomenon that children should be informed as much as possible about violence committed against children. And primary school should be one of the sources of the information. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis describes forms of violence committed against children, its consequences and of course prevention of this phenomenon. It also focuses on development specifics of the pubescent children who formed the research sample for subsequent research into the issue. The first goal of the thesis was to find out and compare the extent of awareness of violence against children among pupils from selected primary schools. The second goal was to find out what prevention programmes and activities focused on prevention violence against children are in place in two selected primary schools in České Budějovice and Bechyně. Pupils from both the schools showed awareness adequate to the extent of the activities implemented in the schools. Pupils from the České Budějovice school are better informed on violence against children than those from Bechyně. Their school also provides more preventive activities in this sphere. The goal of the thesis was to outline the issue and possible prevention of this social pathological phenomenon and to map the extent of its prevention in selected primary schools.

Providing psychological aid and crisis intervention for the civilian population during an emergency situation
ŠČERBOVÁ, Nikola
This diploma thesis bears the title: Providing psychological aid and crisis intervention for the civilian population during an emergency situation. The theoretical part aims to survey the development and present state of psychosocial aid system in the Czech Republic, including individual subjects and organisations that provide help in places affected. The research is based on qualitative and quantitative surveys. The qualitative part was realised by means of a non-structured interview with a defined clinical psychologist and the main psychologist of the Fire Rescue Service of the Region of Karlovy Vary. I have fulfilled the objectives of my thesis in the following way: 1. to describe the structure and functionality of the psychological intervention system, 2. to assess experts{\crq} readiness to provide aid to victims of an emergency situation. The quantitative survey method included collecting data from the randomly chosen samples of 150 citizens who thus expressed their opinions of the questions of crisis intervention and psychological aid, from their own point of view. The research was conducted in the Region of Karlovy Vary. The structure of the psychosocial aid system came into being in 1997, when these questions started to be given more attention both from state authorities and non-profit-organisations, and commercial institutions. The fundamental state body that manages and coordinates the psychosocial aid system is the Interior Ministry, which has a post-traumatic intervention care system, elaborated in relation to citizens affected and in relation to intervening units, and that cooperates with the Integrated Rescue System (IZS) and foreign subjects. The results of the questionnaire survey are an integral part of my research. The civilian population has basic information about psychological aid, which they assess as an important factor for mastering mentally demanding situations. This diploma thesis is structured in such a way that provides the reader with a complex overview of the current state of psychosocial aid. I also aim, by means of my thesis, to point out the fact that there is no professional post-traumatic care in our health care system.

Animal Assisted Crisis Response
KOSTELNÁ, Helena
Canistherapy ? crisis intervention (?C-KI?) is not a very well-known and wide-spread method of canistherapy in the Czech Republic. The objective of this paper is to enhance the awareness of the expert public for the purposes of better cooperation of the integrated emergency system (?IZS?) and better use of the potential offered by this method. The theoretical part describes the IZS within which the C-KI operates as a separate unit. Then, the method is defined within the theory of zootherapy and canistherapy. For the sake of completeness, a separate chapter deals with the crisis intervention from the general point of view. A substantial part of the paper is formed by the definition of the C-KI method with the effort to provide a comprehensive summary based on all the sources available. I divide the research into two parts. The first part is formed by the pilot questionnaire looking for the answer to the research question ?What is the knowledge of the selected units of the IZS about the C-KI??. In this quantitative part of the research, I determine the hypothesis ?Selected units of the IZS do not know the C-KI method in most of the cases.? I always include, between the selected units, a centre of the Medical Emergency Service and a centre of the Regional Brigade of Cynologists in each region of the Czech Republic. In total, 28 questionnaires were sent using the CASI (Computer Assisted Self Interviewing) method. The rate of return of the questionnaires was 57%. The questionnaire inquiry confirmed the determined hypothesis that selected units of the IZS do not know the C-KI method in most of the cases. A partial result is the confirmed interest in more information about this method in the selected units of the IZS, in 81% of the answers. The second part of this research tries to find the answer to the question ?What may the C-KI offer?? using the method of a half-structured interview. There were three interviews, always with an expert who already witnessed the C-KI method during training and/or in the practice. The interviews show the significance and importance of the C-KI and the list of areas in which it may offer assistance during an extraordinary emergency situation. Examples may be the organization of evacuated inhabitants, care of them in the evacuation centre, psychological and social assistance to victims in the crisis and organizational assistance to the IZS units. In order to reach the stipulated objective of enhancing the awareness of the C-KI method among the expert public for the purposes of better cooperation with the IZS and better use of the potential offered by this method, a brochure intended for the IZS units was created as a practical output. This brief publication focuses on the most important information on the C-KI method and will be sent via e-mail to the General Directorate of Fire Rescue Service with a copy to all the centres of the Medical Emergency Service, Police of the Czech Republic, Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic and regional chiefs of Rescue Brigades of Cynologists.

Care for suicidal patients provided by the health rescuers.
BENDOVÁ, Lenka
Drives to persons demonstrating a suicidal intent are demanding especially for the mental condition of interveners, due to its emotional intensity as well as the awareness of responsibility for a human life that may be rescued, if a suitable intervention procedure is chosen, but also easily lost, if the intervener fails in the suicide{\crq}s eyes. A well chosen intervention may revert the suicide{\crq}s wish to die. For that reason, the rescue workers should be given the best possible preparation before this situation occurs in reality. The objective of my thesis was to find out whether the participating paramedics in the role of respondents proceed according to the valid standards (the type plan) or not, and if they do not, to what extent their methods, to which adhere in their practice, differ from the recommended standards. To obtain the necessary data, I used an anonymous questionnaire, aimed at the staff of the Emergency Medical Service of the Region of South Bohemia, working in the position of a paramedic. The questions were aimed at the possibility to obtain expert information concerning the subject in question, the frequency of drives to persons demonstrating a suicidal intent, composition and work of the intervention team on the spot of the event, and comparing the opinions of the procedure in the course of the intervention with standards recommended. The first hypothesis established, which was supposed to confirm that paramedics know the standards (the type plan or any other plan) of work with persons demonstrating a suicidal intent, was not confirmed because most of the respondents answered that they did not know these standards. The second hypothesis was partly confirmed. To improve professional knowledge concerning work with persons demonstrating a suicidal intent I propose a training course for paramedics, led by experts.

Analysis of methods of the posttraumatic crisis intervention
HLUŠKO, Oldřich
In my thesis, I postulated the target to map the methods and procedures applied by the CR Police, Regional Police Headquarters of the South-Bohemian Region within the primary, secondary as well as tertiary prevention of posttraumatic reactions and disorder. A partial target of the thesis is finding out the rate of the satisfaction with availability of intervention care for policemen and employees of the Regional Police Headquarters of the South-Bohemian Region, finding out the rate of the awareness, usability and satisfaction with the care of the posttraumatic intervention team in the South-Bohemian Region, awareness of the service Help Line in crisis and its usability. Moreover I postulated the goal to map the interest in the possible internet helpline in the scope of IZS with elaboration of SWOD analysis. Everybody, also policemen may suffer from stress reaction. Also they can have the psychical and physical signs of an acute stress reaction. They perform the most of service acts, interventions in a routine way, however, besides this, also situations occur, differing from the normal life experience and policemen get in this way very often into the stress situations, which can arouse deep mental turbulences. The impact of feelings on the mental state in case of extreme experiences is a normal human reaction in a not normal situation. At present, each policeman has the possibility to ask for help a team of specially trained experts, the team of posttraumatic intervention care. In the team, not only psychologists are working, but also experienced policemen, experts of the branch of the Ministry of Interior and the priests prepared to help with their experience, erudition and knowledge acquired by a special training. Since 2001 the impacted person may call the anonymous Crisis Help Line, which is a supporting part of the posttraumatic intervention care for the policemen, firemen, employees of the branch of the Ministry of Interior and their family members. The crisis help line is also at disposal to the public in case of extraordinary events and crisis situations. For this reason, this thesis treats the methods of posttraumatic intervention care, awareness, usability, satisfaction and trust in these branch offices of the CR Police.

Psychosomatics overload exposures in casual realationship with extraordinary events experiences.
KREJČOVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor thesis deals with the effects of traumatic experience from extraordinary events on psychosomatic manifestations in members of the Integrated Rescue System (IRS). Psychosomatic manifestations are caused by interactions between the soul and the body, i.e. effects of the physical condition on the mental condition and vice versa. The effects are also interconnected with the social environment of the afflicted person. It is therefore necessary to take care of all the so-called biopsychosocial human needs. The theoretical part describes psychosomatics as a discipline. It deals with the symptoms, general psychotherapy and historical development of psychosomatics. Further, it discusses the possibility of crisis intervention and specific risks of activities performed by the individual IRS components. The practical part of the thesis monitored the effects of traumatic experiences on members of the Fire Rescue Service corps, Medical Emergency Service and Police of the Czech Republic. The aim was to determine the gravity of this problem and to jointly find possible solutions. The results have shown show that there is a certain level of negative impact and therefore it is important to focus on preventive measures to avoid serious complications.

The Psychological and Spiritual Support in the Police of the Czech Republic
KOZÁK, Jaroslav
The thesis deals with the description of the psychological and spiritual support for the members of the police force. Its basis is the definition of the police force as the service to the public while the policeman is perceived as both the representative of the state force and the human being. In the part dealing with the professional ethics one points out to the usefulness of the ethical codex for a policeman as a possible inspiration for one's responsibility in the role of a policeman.Next, negative phenomena influencing a policeman are described, such as stress, a traumatic event,crisis,and a burn-out syndrom. The thesis considers the needs of the man linked to the needs of a policeman proper. Based on the information collected it then deals with the psychological and spiritual support. The psychological support in the police force has got a certain framework defined in the form of a crisis intervention, a psychological advisory service and a posttraumatic intervention care. A spiritual support has no specific concept defined. A priest has his role in posttraumatic intervention teams only. Based on the research carried out and on the literature available the possibility is outlined for the provision of not only psychological but also for the spiritual support.
