Positives and negatives of members of the multidisciplinary team in mental health centres
TOPINKOVÁ, Petra
This diploma thesis deals with the cooperation of social and health workers within multidisciplinary teams in a relatively new project - Mental Health Centers. This principle of care is new in the Czech Republic and is based on multidisciplinary cooperation. It is now aimed at people with serious mental illness. The team consists of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, general nurses/nurses for psychiatric care and peer consultants. The purpose of this work is to describe what work in such a multidisciplinary team looks like, how respondents perceive it and what positives and negatives they find in this work. The work is composed of two parts, theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part, the reader will learn that the Mental Health Centers (MHC) are part of the Reform of Psychiatric Care. The Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) model, which is based on community care, is implemented at the MHCs. The thesis further explains how MHCs work, what services they provide and who they are for. The practical part is based on qualitative research. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with respondents, who consisted of nine employees from one MHC. Their interviews revealed several basic categories that partially answer research questions. The categories that are interrelated are: Peer Consultant, Covid, Risks of a Multidisciplinary Team, Importance of Professions, Main Word in Care, Positives and Negatives of Teamwork, Expectations from Other Professions. The results of this thesis may be used as a basis for further research and provide an interesting insight into how the workers themselves perceive such demanding work.
