The quality of life of clients with anxious disorder in psychiatry clinic in Vimperk.
BEJČKOVÁ, Milada
The bachelor's thesis deals with recording and evaluating the quality of life of the patients suffering from anxiety disorders who are under outpatients' care in Vimperk region. These disorders are called neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders. They are frequent psychiatric disorders which are becoming greater in number due to the changes in lifestyle. There are frequently chronic disorders involved which mean a long-term harassment for the patient. What is of great importance is the appropriate treatment and the way the patient and the people around them approach the disorder. The main goal of the treatment is not relieving the troubles only, but also supporting the patient to be able to manage them, to be independent and to be able to join the society's life. The above mentioned disorders represent a considerable limitation of man's life, thus influencing its quality. It is a very serious fact, and therefore I have focused my attention on it. A quality of life can be characterized as an individual's subjective look upon the individual sides of his life. The most important factors influencing the quality of life include the state of health, family background, enough money an appropriate job, the development of social contacts and possibilities of further education and spending one's free time in a reasonable way. The quality of life can be looked upon as a fairly individual idea. There are values involved which are different for everyone and undergo changes during one's lifetime. The bachelor's thesis consists of two basic parts, a theoretical and a research one. In the theoretical part I have borrowed facts from specialized literature where there is a description of the individual anxiety disorders and their treatment to be found. In the next chapter I have dealt with the problem of the quality of life and possibilities of how one can look upon this term. The second part of the thesis involves a {\clqq}research study`` processed on the basis of the data analysis which have been gained by way of questionnaires and dialogues. The research of the patients' quality of life was carried out through the SEIQoL-Method, moreover, the respondents were presented a uestionnaire which was specifically arranged so that the research questions might have been answered. There was a total of 100 patients' data gained and analysed within the scope of the psychiatric outpatients' department in Vimperk. Further on there were two research questions specified: 1.Whether the clients of the psychiatric outpatients' department have the impression of being stigmatized within the society and 2. Whether and which way the quality of life of the research sample had improved in comparision with the beginning of the treatment. The patients were chosen accidentally, they were clients of the outpatients' department suffering from anxiety disorders who appeared in the period of January until March for a control check-up and agreed with the research to be carried out. The bachelor's thesis can be used as a source of information both for the lay public and the founders and providers of outpatients' departments' sevices nationwide.
