Stigmatization at Persons with Mental Disorders
PEŘINOVÁ, Eva
For my bachelor thesis I chose the topic The Stigmatization of Persons with a Mental Disorder. The thesis is divided into two parts the theoretical and the practical. In the theoretical part, I deal with mental health, mental illnesses and its division according to MKN 10, the history of care for the mentally ill, the status of mentally ill people in society. I also focus on social work with people with mental illnesses and the stigmatization of persons with mental diseases. The aim of the research part of this thesis is to find out, whether and in what areas of life mentally ill people are stigmatized. Another aim is to find out, whether and in what areas of life social workers, who work with mentally ill persons, are stigmatized. Qualitative method is used in the practical part of this thesis. For this part was used an interrogation method and a method of semi-structured interview. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with two employees and four users of Domino services for people with a mental illness in the City charity České Budějovice (hereinafter Domino). Users and workers in Domino were chosen according to a method of quota sampling. Criterion for the selection of communication partners from among Domino was a willingness to cooperate and at least two-year experience in the field. Criterion for the selection of communication partners from among Domino was a willingness to cooperate and at least five-year duration of illness. Results of interviews with users showed using of this social service helps them and they would recommend it to other people with similar problems. Interviews also showed that these users are faced with various difficulties that make their life difficult. Family and friends have turned away from two of the four communication partners. Results of the research indicate that one of the users does not feel to be stigmatized in any area of life, two users feel to be stigmatized in some areas of life and one user feels to be stigmatized in almost all areas of life. Results of interviews with female employees also showed that working with this target group brings different pros and cons, but one of the partners cannot find any positives in this work. In this organisation is worked with stigmatization and destigmatizion, this social service is also trying to be presented to the public in order to disseminate this target group. None of these communication partners feels to be stigmatized in any areas of life. According to them, this is because the public does not know with what target group they work. Communication partners think, people with the mental disorder are stigmatized in our society. They know some of the myths and prejudices that circulate about mentally ill people in our society. They both believe that media have the largest share in this situation. This thesis may serve as a source of information for general public and professionals in issues of stigmatization of people with the mental disorder.

Availability and use of health and social services for people with mental disease in České Budějovice
KORTIŠOVÁ, Jana
The aim was to explore users' satisfaction with availability of healthcare and social services for people with mental illness in České Budějovice and also to map the use of these services from the users' perspective, but also employees' perspective. To obtain the necessary data I used quantitative research, a questionnaire technique. In total 77 questionnaires were distributed - in Domino and Fokus organizations in České Budějovice and also in the psychiatric ward in hospital in České Budějovice. Respondents were not only their users, but also staff of these institutions. The research shows that the most used service are day care centers, counseling and therapeutic services, and on the contrary, many users and workers lack social housing. Regarding health services, the most interviewed clients uses the services of a psychiatrist or general practitioner from whom the largest percentage of respondents obtains information about the services. The workers' responses showed that the vast majority of users of services has an interest in the offered programs, and in their opinion, primarily programs for use of leisure time, social and therapeutic programs should be supported.The greatest problem is seen in high financial demands on services and associated uncertain funding of social services and poor linkage between health and social services.

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.
