Attitude of society towards people with schizophrenia

V diplomskem delu je obravnavana duševna motnja- shizofrenija in odnos družbe do oseb s shizofrenijo. Osredotočili smo se na odnos družbe, ki je že skozi vso zgodovino pretežno odklonilen. Želeli smo ugotoviti kakšno je poznavanje shizofrenije ter kakšen je odnos družbe do oseb s shizofrenijo med naključno izbranimi ljudmi. V teoretičnem delu diplomskega dela so predstavljeni duševna motnja- shizofrenija, epidemiologija, vzroki in klinični tipi ter vloga medicinske sestre pri zdravljenju. Opisani so odnos družbe do oseb s shizofrenijo, stigma ter vpliv stigme na življenje oseb s shizofrenijo. Zaradi nepoznavanja bolezni in napačnega prepričanja ljudi so osebe s shizofrenijo velikokrat potisnjene na družbeni rob kar posledično vpliva na njihovo celotno življenje. V empiričnem delu diplomskega dela so predstavljeni rezultati raziskave, ki je bila izvedena v kraju Črna na Koroškem. Anketiranih je bilo 60 naključno izbranih oseb starejših od 18 let. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da je polovica naključno anketiranih že slišala za duševno motnjo- shizofrenijo. Večina anketiranih bi bila pripravljena sprejeti osebo s shizofrenijo v svojo družbo, saj menijo, da nimajo predsodkov pred duševno motnjo. Vendar pa nas je presenetil podatek, da je več kot polovica anketiranih mnenja, da je odnos družbe do oseb s shizofrenijo zadržan.In my diploma paper we dealt with mental disorder called schizophrenia and the relationship between society and individuals suffering from schizophrenia. We focused on the relationship of society, which has been mostly declinatory through the history. We wanted to find out how well schizophrenia is known and what is the relationship between the society and individuals with schizophrenia amongst random selected people. In theoretical part of my diploma paper are introduced mental disorder – schizophrenia, epidemiology, causes and clinical types and the nurses\u27 role during medical treatment. There are described the relationship between society and individuals with schizophrenia, stigma and its influence on people with schizophrenia. Individuals suffernig from schizophrenia are often on social edges because of the lack of knowledge about this mental disorder, which has also an infuence on their lives.In empirical part of my diploma paper are represented the results of the research, which was accomplished in Črna na Koroškem. Investigated were 60 random selected people older than 18 years. The results show that half of them would be willing to except and individual with schizophrenia in their social gathering, because they believe they don\u27t have prejudices concerning mental disorder. But we were surprised by the information that more than half of them believe that the society is retained by the individuals suffering from schizophrenia
