Empathy in patients with anxiety disorders - pilot study of capturing change during a psychotherapeutic stay
Linhart, David ; Preiss, Marek (advisor) ; Křížová, Ivana (referee)
This diploma thesis was created as a part of a doctoral research project of Mgr. Ing. Sofia Diondet, and was a basis for two other diploma theses of Bc. Nikola Hanušová and Bc. Michaela Škrábová. It studied empathy in patients with anxiety disorders and its main aim was to capture change in empathy within this population after a 7week psychotherapeutic stay. Thesis had several secondary aims: to verify lower level of empathic functioning in anxiety patients and an existence of a positive relationship of self and interview rated empathy; also, to determine whether there is a relationship between empathy and anxiety symptoms. To achieve this, two groups were created: experimental (N = 50) consisting of anxiety patients and control group (N = 19) consisting of healthy volunteers of which 12 finished both examinations. Scores of em- pathic functioning measured by STiP-5.1 and LPFS-BF 2.0 were taken before and after the 7week psychotherapeutic stay along with scores of Beck's questionnaires of anxiety and de- pression. To analyse the data non- parametric Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests, ANOVA (Kruskal-Wallis) and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used. Total emphatic functioning and all its facets improved (scores decreased) after psychotherapeutic stay in the experimental group; though the only...

Zasadilová, Marie ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Helena (referee)
Author: Bc. Marie Zasadilová Title: Incidence of Joint Hypermobility Syndrome in Anxienty Patients Objectives: The aim of this study is to find out what ist he incidence of Joint hypermobility syndrome in the research group of probands with anxiety disorder, on the base of collected theoretical knowledge. Methods: The group of patients with diagnosis of anxiety disorder was examined on presence of joint hypermobility syndrome. For the examination was used standardised test scale Beighton score. The data was statistically processed, prevalence of hypermobility in the research group was compared with prevalece in common population. Results: Prevalence of joint hypermobility syndrome in the research group was 44,88%, that is about 31,88% more, than in common population. Hypermobility was found in 65% of female part oft he research group, that is about 25% more, than in common female population. Prevalence in male part of research group was 16,67%, about 5,17% more than in common male population. The hypotesis, that prevalence of joint hypermobility syndrome will be hihger in the research group than in common population, was affirmed. Average result of Beighton score in group of probands was 4,38 points, the most common result was 2 points. Skewness and krtosis of the histogram curve corresponds with...

Genetics of psychic diseases
Krčmářová, Eliška ; Šolc, Roman (advisor) ; Dudová, Iva (referee)
Psychological diseases are very heterogeneus group of diseases, including a complicated and complex multifactorial etiology with a possibility of an important role of a genetic component. Some diaseses got discovered their clear genetic origins, for instance Rett syndrom, where the origins are caused by a mutation in gen MECP2. The origins of a majority of other psychological diseases are more complex - it is chiefly a combination of specific polymorphism of many gens with an impact of an external environment. Among this group we can range diaseases such as anxiety disorder, eating disorder, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Autism presents the polymorphism of few different gens, however other mentioned diseases presents mainly polymorphism of genes, connected into neurontransmission. This thesis deals with a selection of potential genetic causes of psychological diseases, illustrated by the specific examples. Keywords: psychological diseases, Rett syndrom, autism, neurotransmitters, anxiety disorder, eating disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, mutation, polymorphism
