Risk factors for suicidal behaviour among czech adolescent population
Nekolná, Hana ; Kebza, Vladimír (referee) ; Loneková, Katarína (referee)
The rigorous thesis "Risk Factors for Suicidal Behaviour among Czech Adolescent Population" deals with suicidality and suicidal behaviour among adolescents in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the basic terms of this topic, various approaches and understanding of this issue in the past and at present. This work also deals with the forms, methods and motives of suicidal behaviour. Furthermore, it describes the age of adolescence as an independent evolutionary period in the life of a man and analyses the risks of this life era. The theoretical part also contains a description of the epidemiology of this phenomenon and possible diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive approaches to suicidal behaviour. The empirical part of the thesis describes a research in which the goal was to determine a relation to the increase of suicidal risk and the basic dimension of the personality (using the Freiburg's Personality Inventory), social support (by the Perceived Social Support Scale) and life engagement (through the Life Engagement Test). The research sample contained 192 respondents from the senior years of grammar schools and vocational schools from Prague and Vysočina. The results of this research confirmed the connection between a lowered suicidal risk and a higher living...

The research sample contained 99 respondents from the last years of one of Prague's grammar school and two of Prague's vocational schools. The results of this research confirmed the connection between a lowered suicidal...

Senoir suicides
MÁCHOVÁ, Vendula
SENIOR SUICIDES I have chosen the problem of senior suicide as the topic of my bachelor degree thesis . At the begining of the theoretical part I have described all forms of suicidal behaviour such as suicidal thoughts, suicidal tendencies, suicidal attempt and completed suicide. I took a closer look at the completed suicide. I have described the phenomenon of suicide from different points of view of medical doctors, psychologists, philosophers and other specialists. I have mentioned the types of suicide such as premeditated suicide, demostrative suicidal behaviour, impulsive suicidal behaviour and group suicides. I have also examined Ringel´s presuicidal syndrom, ways of suicidal behaviour and the development of suicidal tendencies. I have also described the medical, socilogical and psychological theories of suicidal behaviour. At the end of the theoretical part I focused on the old age itself and the suicidal behaviour at this life period. I described the biological features of aging as well as the changes of behaviour in the old age. As the main reasons for the senior suicidal behaviour often stem from old age related problems such as depression, long-term somatic illness, death of the life partner, retirement, social isolation, institutionalization or drinking problem, I have focused on these phenomena in particular. The last chapter deals with the prevention of suicidal behaviour in the old age. The aim of the practical part was to carry out a survey of senior suicide in the South Bohemian, Ústecký, Liberecký region and the region of the capital of Prague and to compare the number of senior sucides in these regions. The survey focused on the development of the number of suicides in seniors over 65 years of age with view to education, sex, the way of conducting suicide, size of town and the month of death in 2005 and 2006. I have used the statistic data of the Institute of Health Information and Statistics of the Czech Republic. The results of the survey prooved that the senior suicides are more frequent in men with lower education from smaller towns and the most frequent way of commiting suicide is the intentional self-harm by hanging, strangeling and suffocating. The thesis could be used for further survey or the prevention of senior siucidal behaviour.
