Opioid prescribing within the workers’ compensation system in general has been a cause for concern. The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of opioid users among injured workers, referred at a Tertiary Care Pain Clinic, in 2008-2009. A cross-sectional retrospective study of 110 consecutive workers; male/female ratio was 2.3:1; mean age 45.5 years; mean pain ratings were 7.1±1.8. 21% of the workers were diagnosed with a biomedical problem (Group I), 51% with medical/psychological factors (Group II) and 25.5% had identifiable psychological factors but no physical pathology (Group III). Opioids were prescribed in 81.8%; of those 32.2% were on >200mg of daily morphine or equivalent (MED). A higher proportion of opioid users were in Group II and Group III than Group I. The vast majority of referred injured workers in this study were on opioid therapy with 1 in 3 exceeding the “watchful” dose of 200 mg MED

THE INJURED PARTY IN CRIMINAL PROCEDURE AND HIS/HER PROTECTION The diploma thesis is engaged in position of injured party in criminal proceedings in the Czech Republic from many aspects: either regarding its historical development on the actual territory of the state, or definition of the term of aggrieved person in compliance with actual legal while respecting position of the Czech Republic within European Union and binding effect of certain European standards for the Czech Republic and its legal system, and binding effect of legal documents from the UN level. Additionally, one can follow the definition of the term "victim of the criminal activity" (oběť), which is not identical with the term "victims of the criminal activity" (poškozený) in the Czech legal system. In other legal orders, however, the terms are identical. Onwards, the attention is paid to process rights of the aggrieved person, particularly to the right to claim the indemnity in the accession proceeding. Next chapter of the diploma thesis describes the institute of declensions, which is relatively new and progressive phenomenon in the Czech law. Final part of the diploma thesis briefly describes condition of providing of information on criminal proceeding with emphasis to providing of information in cases, where victim of the...

Bakgrund: Tidigare forskning visar att traumapatienter oftast känner sig oförberedda inför hemgång. Detta beror bland annat på bristande patientinformation vid utskrivningen. Tydlig och saklig information som ges till traumapatienter vid utskrivningen kan bidra till att traumapatienter känner sig trygga och mer förberedda inför hemgång. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att belysa vilken information traumapatienter upplever att de får inför hemgång, om de är tillfredsställda med den information som givits och om informationen kan förbättras. Metod: Sju deltagare som hade varit traumapatienter under år 2014-2015 på ett universitetssjukhus i Sverige rekryterades. Deltagarna var i varierande åldrar, kön och hade en varierad skadebild. Semistruktuerade telefonintervjuer utfördes efter kontakt med deltagare via brev och telefon. Insamlad data har analyserats via kvalitativ innehållsanalys.   Resultat: Resultatet av denna studie har visat att en del traumapatienter fått muntlig information om hjälpmedel, känslor och reaktioner som kan uppstå efter ett trauma, läkemedel som de får med sig vid utskrivningen, nedtrappningsschema för starka opioider, skadan de blivit utsatta för samt vidare uppföljning. Den information som deltagarna fick inför hemgång bidrog till att de kände sig införstådda, tillfredsställda och trygga. Deltagare uppgav att de fått otillräcklig information om aktivitet, hygien, infektionstecken, läkemedel och biverkningar, känslor och krisreaktioner, nedtrappningsschema för starka opioider, normalt läkmönster, skada, smärta, stöd - var kan man vända sig om man har frågor och vid eventuell försämring eller utebliven förbättring, sårvård, uppföljning och återbesök. Detta gjorde att deltagarna uttryckte besvikelse, missuppfattning, oro, ovisshet, osäkerhet och önskade mer information. Slutsats: Studiens resultat visar att vissa traumapatienter önskar mer och tydligare information vid utskrivning. / Background: Previous studies have shown that trauma patients often feel unprepared at discharge due to a lack of patient information. Explicit and relevant information that is given to trauma patients at discharge can contribute to trauma patients feeling more secure when going home from a hospital. Aim: The aim of this study is to demonstrate what information trauma patients perceive they are getting when going home from hospital, if they are satisfied with the information that is given, and if the information can be improved. Method: Seven participants who had been trauma patients during 2014-2015 at a university hospital in Sweden were recruited. The participants varied in age, gender and trauma (injury). Semi structured telephone interviews were implemented after being in contact with the participants by letter and phone. All the collected data has been analyzed through qualitative content analysis. Results: The result of this study has shown that some trauma patients received verbal information about mobility aids and equipment, feelings and reactions that can occur after trauma, new medicines and how and when to stop taking them, their injury, and follow-ups. The information the participants got made them feel informed, secure and satisfied. Participants also reported that they had received insufficient information regarding activity, hygiene, signs of infection, medicines and its potential side-effects, how and when to stop taking strong painkillers, feelings and reactions of crisis, their injury, a normal healing process after an injury, pain control, support - where to seek information, support in case of deterioration or absence of improvement despite medication and treatment, how to take care of wounds and planned follow-ups. The lack of this information contributed to the fact that participants felt disappointed, poorly informed, anxious, uncertain and insecure. Furthermore participants reported that they would appreciate more explicit information. Conclusion: The result of this study shows that some trauma patients need more explicit information at discharge.

This study was an objective investigation of an operant program in behavior modification using tangible reinforoers, which was conducted in two Special Education classes in the Denton Independent School District.

This dissertation considers the issue of the injured party and his protection in criminal proceedings. The aim of the paper is not only to provide a comprehensive summary of the position of the injured party in criminal proceedings, but to make reference to shortcomings in the existing legal regulation of this institute and propose changes for the future. The methods used in the paper are primarily interpretative, analytical-synthetic and comparative. The author made use of information ascertained by studying primary and secondary sources. The paper is divided into four main chapters, in addition to the introduction and conclusion, and these are themselves divided into sub-chapters. The first chapter looks at defining certain fundamental terms directly linked to the issue of the injured party and his protection in criminal proceedings. Here we find an explanation of the term "the injured party" itself, both at a general level and in terms of individual specifics, and the separation of injured parties into two groups. This chapter also includes a definition of the term victim and of ancillary proceedings. The chapter that follows concentrates on the procedural rights of the injured party, first considering the procedural rights pertaining to all injured parties and subsequently the procedural rights...

English Abstract I chose the topic of my thesis, "Protection of victims of crime", because this issue is very topical in recent years, not only in terms of legislation, it is also an important topic that affects society. Unfortunately, crime is an integral part of society, and any one of us can become a victim of crime. Only when a person is affected by crime does he realize how important the protection of victims is. The Czech Republic is a country that does not forget to address this issue, and it comprehensively amended the rights of victims with Act no. 45/2013 Coll., On the Protection of Victims of Crime. Legislation on the protection of victims of crime is relatively new, and like many regulations that have no equivalent in the legal system, this law will also be subject to change and improvement over time. Although the victims' Act undoubtedly strengthened victims' rights and moved them to the next level, it has still been criticized for its considerable shortcomings. The prepared amendment to the Act on Victims of Crime, which incorporates the conformity of the given act with EU law and also seeks to incorporate knowledge in exercising victims' rights in practice, is trying to remove this problem at least in part. In my thesis, I focused primarily on the protection of victims' rights, which are...
