The diploma thesis "Employment Services for Former Substance Users in the Czech Republic in Comparison with Similar Services in Scotland and Austria" discusses the problem of employment of people that used illegal drugs for some time in their lives and now abstain. To get a job and keep it is fundamental for them to be able to prosper in newly started life. Former substance users are characterized with respect to their position in the labour market and the need of social reintegration. Their employability in the Czech labour market is given from the point of view of the clients and workers of the treatment facilities, and from the point of view of potential employers. The possibilities of employment services offered to former substance users are then shown by three projects, i.e. Czech Work and Social Agency of SANANIM, o. s., Scottish Addiction Workers' Training Programme, carried out by Scottish Drugs Forum, and Austrian social firm Fix und Fertig, a branch of Verein Wiener Sozialprojekte. The projects are compared as to their approaches to the problem of employability, basic parameters that employment services offered to the former substance users should take into account are defined, and finally, the possibilities of development of these services in the Czech Republic are outlined.

Bakgrund: I dagens samhälle är ordet missbruk ofta stigmatiserat och har en negativ klang. Användandet av olagliga droger ökar i samhället vilket innebär en större belastning på hälso- och sjukvården. Hälso- och sjukvårdslagen har enligt kapitel 3 1§ som mål att främja god hälsa och att ge en vård på lika villkor för hela befolkningen. Vården skall ges med respekt för alla människors lika värde och för den enskilda människans värdighet. Studier visar på att brukare upplevt ett stigmatiserat beteende från hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att beskriva hälso- och sjukvårdspersonalens upplevelser av att vårda patienter med missbruksproblematik. Metod: Detta examensarbete har genomförts som en litteraturöversikt, genom att studera tio vetenskapliga artiklar. Artiklarna har analyserats enligt Fribergs analysmetod där författarna sökte efter likheter och skillnader av upplevelser som sedan redovisades i olika huvudteman och underteman. Resultat: Utifrån analysen skapades två huvudteman: Negativa upplevelser och Positiva upplevelser. Negativa upplevelser kom att delas upp i fyra underteman: Utbildning och kunskap, Rädsla och brist på tillit, Att känna sig otillräcklig och Stigmatisering. Diskussion: Resultatets huvudfynd har diskuterats i förhållande till litteraturöversiktens bakgrund samt Joyce Travelbees teori om den mellanmänskliga relationen som referensram. / Background: In today's society, the word addiction is often stigmatized and has a negative tone. The use of illegal drugs increases in society, which means a greater burden on healthcare. According to the Health Care Act the aim is to promote good health and provide equal treatment for the entire population. The care should be given with respect for the equal worth of all people and the dignity of the individual. Studies show that patients with substance abuse experienced a stigmatized behaviour from healthcare professionals. Aim: The aim of this literature review was to describe the healthcare professionals' experiences of caring for patients with substance abuse. Method: This literature review was made by studying ten scientific articles. The articles have been analysed according to Friberg's method of analysis where the authors found similarities and differences of experiences, which were reported in various main themes and sub themes. Results: Based on the analysis, two main themes were created: Negative experiences and Positive experiences. Negative experiences were divided into four sub themes: Education and knowledge, Fear and lack of confidence, Feeling insufficient and Stigmatization. Discussion: The main findings of the result have been discussed in relation to the background of the literature review and Joyce Travelbee's Human-To-Human Relationship Model as a reference frame.
