Phenomenon of stigmatization in communication between nurse and the patient
TROJANOVÁ, Hana
This bachelor thesis is focused on phenomena of stigmatization in communication between a patient and a nurse. A term of stigmatization represents thinking in stereotypes and a general attitude with a predetermined vision, which is usually not based on reality. These prejudices appear in the field of communication. It is about connecting negative features and treating with inappropriate naming. Acting like this can lead to social isolation. This bachelor thesis maps a problem of stigmatization and possible using of so-called "stickers" in communication between a patient and a nurse within a nursing process. The research survey was focused on the awareness of nurses about the term of stigmatization and also it was investigated what attitude nurses occupy towards patients who could be, thanks to their difference, much more compromised by this phenomena. That was the reason why the research survey included obese patients, patients with psychic disorders, also homeless clients, national minorities, patients recovering from alcohol or drug addiction and last but not least those who have any kind of physical disability. In this bachelor thesis we focus also on how these clients perceive the cooperation with nurses during the hospitalization, if they registered any differences in communication with them and other patients and we will be also interested if they have met with the use of stigmatizing terms and in what form.

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.

Stigmatization of Clients with Schizophrenia
MYŠÁKOVÁ, Helena
The Bachelor Thesis focuses on stigmatization of people with schizophrenia. The fact is that schizophrenia is occurring within our population and although the people with schizophrenia have the same right to live a decent life as the others have, they, unfortunately, experience stigmatization to a considerable extent. The theoretical part of the Thesis is divided into three chapters. Chapter One deals with schizophrenia, its occurrence, origin, diagnostics, clinical symptoms, types and treatment. Chapter Two is dedicated to the client with schizophrenia, his/her position in the legal system, relationship between a person suffering from schizophrenia and his/her family, communication with a person suffering from schizophrenia and organization of health care and social care.Chapter Three of the theoretical part contains information on stigmatization, including stigmatization by specialists, by self-branding and destigmatization.

Colostomy as a stigma in clients at their productive age and the role of a nurse in co-operation with these clients
GASNÁRKOVÁ, Dagmar
I chose ``Colostomy as a stigma in clients in their productive age and the task of the nurse in cooperation with these clients{\crqq} as the topic of my bachelor thesis for several reasons. On the one hand, I think that colostomy is talked about a lot all the time, but if really want to obtain any literature, very little is available. And a large number of colostomy patients call for more sources of information. And on the other hand, I find this topic close for personal reasons: there are colostomy patients in my own family and among my close friends. Whether they have colostomy after a tumorous disease during Crohn disease, they still suffer from very similar problems that lead to a certain stigmatization that they both consciously and unconsciously bring into their mind. This is why this topic occurred to me. It is necessary to survey what stigma is, colostomy patients{\crq} opinion of stigma and the way nurses view stigma. In my opinion, this is an unusual combination of two problems that are widely discussed, yet neither dealt with nor described in any way. At the present time, which is a time of mass media and stress, an individual person could hardly think that he or she does not know certain aspects of life that a certain percentage of the population meets with, and in many a case does not even know about this question. People think and believe that they are prepared for everything, that they are balanced and can deal with all problems. When, however, a problem touches their health, it is often an aspect that they do not even think about very much and consider it as a natural part of their everyday life, they start to be literally helpless and anxious, and this escalates depending on how large an interference in their health it is. If you say the term stomy, a lot of people hesitate and have no idea what it could be. It is of course no rule but we have to get aware of the thing that a large part of the population deal with this problem. It is therefore important to conduct education and to pay attention to the information of the broad population, while placing emphasis on understanding stomy patients{\crq} everyday troubles. The term stigma, as I have found out to my surprise, is a completely unknown notion. This is despite the fact that stigma and stigmatising factors may occur in a broader range of diseases than the stomy mentioned. The objective of the thesis is then to shed light on the terms of stigma a colostomy. And to find out the most frequent stigmatising factors in this disease and to find a solution to this problem.

Stigmatization of Mentally Ill in the Present Society
CHODOROVÁ, Alena
The work deals with the problem of stigma creation among mentally ill people in the contemporary society. A group of people with mental illness is determined by defining the terms of mental health and mental illness. The consequences of the illness on the quality of life are described. A history of mental health care and the development of the opinions on the group of mentally ill people are mentioned. The problems of stereotypical attitudes to mentally ill are dealt with, together with the importance of impact of stigmas on the personality of the mentally ill and their environment. In the last part the possibilities of shifting off the stigmas are eliminated, respecting the experience in the field of mental health care abroad.
