Intake of a patient intoxicated with etylalcohol
NOŽIČKOVÁ, Veronika
The bachelor thesis is divided into two parts. Theoretical and practical. The theoretical part was devoted to what ethyl alcohol actually is, how it behaves in the body and how it metabolizes. The subject of the thesis was also the combination of ethyl alcohol with other substances, the issue of alcohol addiction and alcohol withdrawal syndrome, which can result in delirium. The behavior of such patients is unpredictable, they can be aggressive verbally, but also brachially. Several chapters in the theoretical part were therefore dedicated to specific communication with patients intoxicated with ethyl alcohol and at the same time aggressive. Another chapter of the theoretical part is also devoted to specific nursing care for such patients. Qualitative research was chosen for the research part of the work, which was carried out using semi-structured interviews. In the interviews, 6 respondents were asked 16 questions regarding admission of intoxicated patients to various departments, nursing care and communication with them. The respondents were selected intentionally so that the length of their experience was different and they worked in different departments. Data collection was carried out in April and May 2022. Before starting the interviews, all respondents were approached and asked for their willingness to answer individual questions. At the same time, they were informed that these interviews would be recorded on a dictaphone and would only serve the purpose of data processing for my work. They were also informed that the interviews would be anonymous, that their names and personal data would not appear anywhere, and that the interview records would be deleted after being transcribed. All respondents agreed with such a procedure. Based on the research conducted and after evaluating the data, it was found that all the research questions were answered and the research objectives were also met. The research showed that in all the wards visited, the intake of intoxicated patients is very similar except for small deviations, communication with such a patient is difficult and aggressiveness of such patients is very common. All those interviewed agreed that the behavior of the nursing staff towards such people is decent, at most the nurse will raise her voice at such a patient, that the help of the paramedics, sometimes even the police, is necessary, and in all departments the courting of the patient is used under very strict and clearly defined rules . After sobering up, the behavior of patients varies depending on age, also on whether it is a one-time overdose or the patient is brought by the emergency services more often.

Rehabilitation of men addicted to alkohol
PEŠÁKOVÁ, Ilona
The diploma thesis focuses on the methods that are applied in aftercare services focused on follow-up treatments and the associated subsequent resocialization of clients. Furthermore, this thesis focuses on the approaches, methods and techniques of social work that are used to successfully integrate men into the job market. Thesis is also concentrated on areas the communication partners observe the greatest success of follow-up treatment in the aftercare program. In the theoretical part, the first chapter focuses on alcohol addiction general. The second chapter deals with the treatment of addicts, their forms, types of facilities providing treatments and its progress. In the third chapter deals with the resocialization, types of aftercare services offered, the issue of relapse and recurrence and applied methods and techniques of social work. Areas of resocialization and its subsequent success are also described in this chapter. The practical part focuses on partial goals in the form of qualitative research, namely semi-structured interview. The sampling was selected by purposeful selection through institutions in the facility ALKAT z. s. in Jemnice. In the first part, I dealt with general information about addicted people - e.g. what are their family relationships and what was the reason for joining the aftercare program. The second part describes the procedure of the aftercare program. What are activities they are taking part of in order to increase their chances of successful integration into society. In the third part, I followed the approaches, methods and techniques of social work used in ALKAT z. s. in the resocialization of men addicted to alcohol. I concentrated on the comments of communication partners, who advised me of approaches of social work that are appropriate for specific men. The fourth part deals areas the communication partners monitored the best success of resocialization during the stay in the aftercare facility. It describes also areas where they feel the highest rate of improvement and what or who was greatest motivation for them on the path to recovery. Research has shown that communication partners have experienced alcohol since a young age. Each of them started abusing alcohol for various reasons. The reason for entering the aftercare facility was both the improvement of the health condition and the pressure of the family or the extension of the treatment due to the fact that they have nowhere to live. The treatment procedure was evaluated by all communication partners as appropriate and they were mostly satisfied with its form and progress. The research confirmed that each of the clients is unique, and they treat them with respect, with specific approach which is beneficial and helpful to them. The participants of the research survey stated that there are issues that they prefer to consult with a social worker or therapist (method of social work with an individual), on the contrary with regard to training skills and techniques or just a source of experience in fighting cravings the group therapy method is preferred. Related to this, the area of social work approaches used is mostly a combination of more than one method that is applied in the aftercare program in the institution (task-oriented approach, systemic approach and cognitive-behavioral approach). All communication partners agreed that the most helpful techniques are motivational interviewing techniques, relaxation and distraction of attention. An element that has a great influence on the success and persistence of treatment is motivation, which is different with regard to the diversity of clients. Success also depends on the number of treatments that clients have already completed, as the number of successful resocializations decreases with increasing numbers of successful treatments, which may be due to previous ineffective treatment, insufficient motivation, poor family or inappropriate social relationships and poor lifestyle.

Andělová, Magdalena ; Libra, Jiří (advisor) ; Vacek, Jaroslav (referee)
Bases: In institutional care, the clients are taken out of their natural ambient. In safe institutional ambience, the abstinence is easier.
