Wolfová, Magdaléna ; Tušková, Eva (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
The subject of this diploma thesis is the involvement of users of psychiatric care in the process of planning and realization of psychiatric care reform at the macro level of policy making. The aim of the research is to describe and understand this involvement. In the research are describer possibilities of participation in the phases of involvement, its form, purpose, formal regulation of opportunities, expectations of respondents, perceived power and barriers in involvement. The data was collected during interviews with key actors and studies of relevant documents. The results relate to the theoretical concepts of coproduction, patient-oriented care, strategic and human rights documents (the Convention on the Human Rights of People with Disabilities). The element of power is described through the typology of Sherry Arnstein's participation ladder. Evidence of interviews indicates elements of tokenism and disadvantages.

Respondents have identified barriers as the socio-economic situation, lack of capacity for macro-level involvement, mental health constraints or...

Where does the Czech policy of mental health go?
Kondorová, Lenka ; Háva, Petr (advisor) ; Bodnár, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the Czech and international ideas applied in the "Strategy of Reform of Psychiatric Care" issued in 2013 by the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic. The main starting point of this work is the fact that the care of people with mental illness in Czech and international environment is oriented on the biological treatment of the patient with psycho- pharmaceuticals and that there is a deficit in the area of psychosocial treatment. International and Czech mental health policy seeks to promote a bio-psycho-social approach to patient's care. However, current psychiatry continues to be involved in conducting clinical research focused on the efficiency of psycho-pharmaceuticals. These studies are driven and sponsored mainly by the pharmaceutical industry. But international and Czech policies are still not able to adequately reflect this situation within the field of psychiatry. The Czech Republic has not so far paid attention to mental health issues and has lagged behind the other developed countries in this area. The empirical part of this work is divided into two parts. The first part of the research focuses on the Czech and international ideas applied in the "Strategy of Reform of Psychiatric Care" issued in 2013 by Ministry of Health. The methods used here are - content...

The Issue of Availability of Psychotherapy Through the Lens of Key Stakeholders.
Lemonová, Lucie ; Kasal, Alexandr (advisor) ; Musílková, Markéta (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the issue of availability of psychotherapy in the Czech Republic. The work analyzes the possible causes of unavailability of psychological services for their users and interprets the future of the system of providing mental health care with special emphasis on psychotherapy. To answer the research questions, semi-structured interviews were conducted with actors with different perspectives on the issue. The interviews provided not only a description and evaluation of the current and future state of the mental health care system, but also suggestions for its improvement. The conceptual and theoretical framework of the work consists of a model of actors generating the agenda in arenas (also known as the A-A- A model) and policy analysis. As the main factor influencing the availability of psychotherapy, respondents mentioned the generally poor systemic setting of its provision. However, respondents agreed that the Czech Republic is well placed to improve the overall system of mental health care through the ongoing Psychiatric Care Reform, which should respond to the shortcomings of the system through the strategy document Psychiatric Care Reform Strategy (2013). The National Action Plan for Mental Health is a document expanding the Strategy for the Reform of Psychiatric...
