The profession of addictologist was enshrined in legislation by the Act No. 96/2004, of paramedical professions, in 2007.

Motivation to choose and remain in helping professions is the topic of many specialised publications in Czech and foreign literature but minimum number of those focusing on motivation for work in addiction treatment services. Addictology as a field of study is specific not only by its historical context and development, but also by its scope and specialization.

Kosařová, Hana ; Fidesová, Hana (advisor) ; Šťastná, Lenka (referee)
Background: The topic of crime is interconnected with substance abuse users. While most studies and statistics focus on primary criminal activities and economically motivated crimes, the chapter on criminal activities committed against clients is underrepresented. Crime victimization statistics are brief, and limited information is available about them. Victimization studies, which provide some information in this field, often exclude substance abuse users, or their substance use is not the subject of inquiry. Literature suggests that victimization of substance abuse users is a complex issue that is linked to many other problems. Objectives: The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to map the prevalence of criminal activities committed against substance abuse users and to examine the relationships between general victim characteristics and the crimes committed against them. Another objective is to determine whether and how often they report these crimes, under what circumstances, and conversely, what obstacles prevent them from reporting. A significant goal is to create at least a rough understanding of the mentioned issues, which could then serve as a foundation for further research and investigation. Methods: The research was conducted using a quantitative questionnaire in paper format. It was...

Addictology services from the perspective of inhabitans of Příbram
KYMLOVÁ, Petra
Addictology services pursue prevention and addiction treatment. In Czech Republic, these services started to develop more after the Velvet revolution in 1989. Until then, the topics of addiction and especially drug use were taboo and their problematic not discussed publically. The addictology services in the Příbram disctict are provided by the non-state, non-profit organization Magdaléna, o.p.s. The Contact center operates in Příbram since 2002, the Outreach program was established in 2003 and the Outpatient Addiction Treatment Clinic started its operation in 2017. The target of this thesis is to discover, how well informed are the residents of the Příbram district about the addictology care provided in this disctrict and map their views towards addictology services in general and specifically towards addictology services provided in the Příbram disctrict. The theorecial part is dedicated to establishing the general concepts in the areas of addictology, drug addicton and addictology services. It describes the network of care for people with addiction and the historical development of this care in Czech Republic. It pays attention to the definition of the basic sociological terms in the area of public opinion and available researches of public opinion in regards to the use of addictive substances. The quantitative strategy was used for the research part of the thesis, using a survey including closed and semi-closed questions, and questions with range options. The research set comprised of 430 respondents of the Příbram district residents. The aquired data wre evaluated using descriptive statistics in MS Excel, hypothesis were checked using the SPSS statistical program. The research investigation showed, that over 40 % residents of the Příbram area are aware of the services of the Contact center and the Outreach program, but are not sure of how these services operate. Over 30 % of respondents never heard about the services of the Outpatient Addiction Treatment Clinic, which operates in Příbram for only 3 years. Nearly 56 % of respondents have heard about the Magdaléna o.p.s. organization. The most controversially perceived topic is providing the low-threshold services to active drug users for free, and the financial viability of the addictology services for the country and society is questioned. Around 50 % of the respondents is glad to have addictology services provident within the Příbram disctrict and support them, with further 30 % of the respondents tend to agree with this statement, which I see as a positive outcome for the CAS Magdaléna Příbram. This thesis and its results can serve as a feedback for the workers of the Příbram area addictology services and to making the relaying of information to the public and presenting the services in personal contact by the workers of the outreach program and in media propagation more effective. Furthermore, this thesis can have an informative and educational value for everyone starting to get interested in the problematic of addictology services. I believe that the questionnaire was desinged in a way, that made the survey benefitial and informative for the respondents.

The implementions of case management in addictological servises in the Czech Republic
Kostrábová, Mária ; Libra, Jiří (advisor) ; Matoušek, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis discusses the use of case management in addictology services and its applicability in Czech Republic. The main goal of the thesis is to study the application of case management in selected services. The thesis consists of two parts, which includes history of case management, basic characteristics of the case management models and the principles of effective case management by Rapp, and processing and evaluation of data collected during individual half-structuralized interviews with members of service providers respectively. Interviews aren't part of the thesis. The pieces of information are processed based on comparison of the principles of effective case management. Outcomes of this work cannot be transferred to any other service providers, because researched service providers created individualized processes. The use of case management in Czech Republic is not completely settled and does not have stable foundations in medical practice yet.
