Environmental catalysers of economic distress-induced self-harm
Lauko, Adam ; Šlegerová, Lenka (advisor) ; Votápková, Jana (referee)
This thesis examines the relationship between the unemployment rates and suicide rates in Czech and Slovak districts from 2002 to 2020 by fixed effects model. The thesis found a positive link between the male suicide rate and the unemployment rate. For the female suicide rate, the link was insignificant. It was found that the moderating effect of built-up areas was estimated as negative, while the effect of population density was positive. These findings were only partially according to the literature, as we expected that both effects will be negative. The moderating effects of greenery and divorce rate were estimated as insignificant. However, the validity of these findings is questionable, as the goodness of fit measures are poor and were increased only after increasing the level of aggregation from NUTS4 to NUTS3

The Social Impact of Self-Harm in Adolescents
BOBOČKA, Jakub
The work entitled " Self -harm of young people and it's social impact " was prepared as a final bachelor thesis in the framework of Social Work study programe at the Faculty of Health and Social Studies, the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to find out what social areas of life of young people who are undergoing the self -harm are affected and how. The bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical part and practical part. In the theoretical part, with the help of books and articles, I tried to summarize the topic of self -harm. I described disorders that can be diagnosed together with self -harm. I further described risk factors, types of self -harm and also the process of self -harm. At the end of the theoretical part, I discussed areas that can be influenced by self -harm and with which I also deal with in my research. It is a summary framework for a given issue, which is the basis for the practical part. The research was created with 5 respondents I either knew or I was given a contact to them. Among them were two informatnts from Prague and three from České Budějovice and all of them were women. I first addressed the informants by phone or e-mail, then I met them and asked questions I had created in advance. I did not record the informants because I wrote their answers directly in the record sheet. In the discussion of my bachelor thesis, research results are summarized and commented. In the discussion I also comment on which social area is most influenced by the practice of self-harm, what are the tendencies to self -harm and what are the most common places for self -harm. At the end of the thesis, the contribution of this bachelor thesis is discussed and it is also mentioned how it could be used and how it could be useful.

Impacts on men's mental health when limiting their personal freedom- from the perspective of people working with this target group
KROPÍKOVÁ, Markéta
The diploma thesis deals with the impact on men's mental health when personal freedom is restricted from the point of view of people working with this target group. It is based on the results of the research "Psychological aspects of the consequences of criminal activity in convicted men serving a prison sentence" from 2019, conducted by Mgr. Marie Ouředníková. This work thus shows a view of life in custody or prison from the other side of the bars. It thus reveals the rules that prevail here among men who face the strict regime of the prison every day, but also the internal hierarchy itself. Such an environment subsequently negatively affects the mental health of the men who have to deal with it, in different ways. The diploma thesis reflects these impacts and thus gives a comprehensive view of the mentioned issue. It also has up-to-date research and statistics pointing to current events in such an environment, such as institutions restricting personal freedom. The diploma thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. In the practical part, there is a description of the research methodology itself, followed by Ouředníková's reflected results with the opinions of people with professional experience in this practice.

Migasová, Natalie ; Rynešová, Tereza (referee)
The rigorous thesis is focused on the translation, creation and subsequent use of metacognitive training (MCT) in adolescents with anxiety in group therapy. The theoretical part deals with adolescence, anxiety and with description of metacognitive training. It is supplemented by a rich representation of current research about the mental health of adolescents and the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy applied in various mental disorders. According to existing trainings, the program created by us is divided into 8 modules, with a fixed structure, held once a week. Each module focuses on a specific topic that concerns anxiety, and worksheets for each module are also used for training. Using a quasi-experiment, we measured the current level of anxiety in the pretest and posttest using standardized method STAI, and the overall self-concept measured with PHCSCS-2. We found subjective feeling of anxiety, depression, a tendency to self-harm and difficulty attending school. A total of 7 participants participated in the experimental group and 8 participants were in the control group. Five parents filled in the pretest and posttest feedback. The results of the research show a greater reduction in anxiety and an increase in self-concept in the experimental group compared to the control group. There was no...

Havelková, Šárka ; Procházková, Jana (advisor) ; Sotáková, Hana (referee)
1. ABSTRACT § Key words: violence, conflict, aggression, cruelty, abuse, neglect, bullying, the perpetrator, the victim, children, adults, seniors, self-harm, suicide In this thesis I would like to focus on how children define violence, what violence includes, how to represent both the offender and victim, what is the difference in the perception of violence against various age groups and how to prevent possible violence. The theoretical part is firstly devoted to the notion of violence or similar terms synonymous to this and to explain them according to Czech and foreign authors. I have then proceeded to topics such as violence against children, adults and seniors, self-harm, suicide and the consequences of violence. In the practical section, I examined the perception of violence among students in primary school compared with students of the same age at a grammar school. I focused on the students of class sixth / ninth grade and first and fourth year of an eight-year grammar school). The survey was not only carried out in schools in the capital city but also in a smaller town.

Tvrdoňová, Anna ; Procházková, Jana (advisor) ; Sotáková, Hana (referee)
Title: Self-harm in children Abstract This thesis deals with the topic of self-injury of adolescents. Its goal is to analyze the adolescents' view of self-injury, how the youth themselves define self-injury and what they perceive to be self-injurious behavior. The work is divided into two core parts. The first section focuses on the definition of the self-injury and reviews both current Czech and international literature. Particular attention is devoted to the inconsistent terminology, definitions and presentation of the recent classification system of self- injury. The second part is devoted to the research of explorative character. The data have been collected through a survey using anonymous self report questionnaire from 73 pupils between the ages of 13-15 and they were analysed using categorization and the method of factor and cluster analysis. Factor analysis extracted ten factors which served as the meaningful units and can be interpreted as adolescents' viewpoints of self- injury. Findings suggest the adolescents consider not only direct destruction of one's own body as example self-injury but also behavior that indirectly leads to negative health outcomes (eating disorders, smoking, abuse of alcohol). Interestingly, the youth reported ambivalent viewpoint of self-injury. They reported not only the...
