Early care in the light of coordinated rehabilitation
HAVLOVÁ, Jana
Early care is a field social service, which provides necessary help and support to parents with a handicapped child. It offers the family many options and, besides other things, valuable advice about the correct early care of a child with a disability. Early care is very important and it needs to be provided within a multidisciplinary team of experts. Nevertheless, cooperation with doctors and with especially paediatricians is not ideal and sometimes, unfortunately, not even real.Qualitative research was chosen to achieve the aims of this diploma thesis. As a method of data collection, the method of questioning was chosen, which took place with individual informants using semi-structured interviews. The data were processed by the technique of grounded theory using three-step coding and determination of grounded statements. The data, which complements the whole empirical part of the diploma thesis, were graphically represented in the ATLAS.ti software programme. The analysis of the data revealed that early care workers consider cooperation in coordinated rehabilitation to be an important part of their professional activities. The results revealed that there are a total of seven early care providers in the South Bohemian Region who have different experiences of cooperation with individual professionals, doctors, and paediatricians. The biggest problem of early care is a difficult establishment of cooperation with paediatricians, who do not refer their patients' parents to the use of early care services. On the contrary, some early care workers revealed that there are also collaborations with medics that are very good and beneficial. Within the bounds of coordinated rehabilitation, early care also cooperates with other entities with which they have very well-established cooperation.This diploma thesis may serve as an informative material not only for early care providers but also for the paediatricians themselves, other health professionals, professionals, or other entities.

Cimbálová, Lucie ; Janyšková, Kristýna (advisor) ; Bartoňová, Miroslava (referee)
This thesis focuses on the forms and methods of support for individuals with mental illness aimed at helping them to return to normal life. The individual chapters of the thesis deal with the historical milestones of the emergence of psychiatry, the classification of mental illness and quality of life issues. Therefore, the most used therapeutic methods and strategies of working with clients are defined in the text, which lead to the adoption of appropriate daily habits, improvement of mental health and thus quality of life. The work also focuses on interdisciplinary cooperation, which, in addition to medicine, permeates other disciplines, namely psychology, social work and special education. The topic of my research is timely as an increasing number of people with mental illness are seeking professional help. Therefore, all team members should have sufficient knowledge of the symptomatology and nature of each psychiatric diagnosis. In order for interdisciplinary collaboration to be meaningful, the competencies of the individual professionals must be clearly defined. This creates an interconnected set of services aimed at making the person's integration into society and everyday life as easy as possible. KEYWORDS Mental health support; activation; therapy; mental illness; day care centre; stigma of...
