Upbringing of the suckling in the family
BÖHM, Jan
In this study I wanted to put together my imaginations and how the upbringing and evolution of the suckling in the family should look like. On that base the parents should be able to give many stimulations to their child for his healthy evolution. This program should be acceptable to a wide spectrum of the parents universally with a view to time, money and local conditions. In my study I describe the upbringing of the suckling in the family with a view to his optimum evolution based on physical, mental and spiritual health. The first, theoretical part contains knowledge and experience of well-known Czech and foreign specialists who are engaged in those problems. The second, experimental parts brings the pieces of information about the right influence of the child´s upbringings and his gearing to programs of physical and mental evolution and his next life in the family with special care and as follows his putting across the social life. In statistical evaluating I compare all the results which are important for the right evolution of the child. My study wants to show important methods how to bring up the suckling from his first day of being born because it is the main meaning for his future life. At the beginning of each upbringing phase of the suckling it is acceptable to recommend this program to all the parents and it is possible to consult the methods of programs with specialists until they gain control of it themselves.

History of infant nutrition since 1945 to 2008
VACUŠKOVÁ, Miluše
Nutrition of children of each age has its particular aspects. For the new born and infantile age it is mainly breast-feeding that is very significant. Nutrition with breast milk is ideally balanced, ensures the intake of high-quality nutrition that is well tolerated by the young organism and ensures the optimal growth and psychological development of the child. Thanks to its composition, breast milk increases the protective impact on the child with respect to infections and creates a natural bond between the mother and the child. In the Thesis, I was trying to look up decisive moments in the infantile nutrition concept both in this country and worldwide and to map the issue of breast feeding and formula feeding since the end of the Second World War up to the present. Also, I wanted to emphasize the irreplaceability of breast milk as wel as supplementing of artificial milks with probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics and their importance in the nutrition of children. Objective No. 1 of the Thesis has been to look up the key points in the infantile nutrition concept in the world since the beginning of the nineteenth century and since 1945 until this day in the Czech Republic. Objective No. 2 has been to prove that infantile formula nutrition has been focusing also on the immunological aspect apart from the nutritional ones. Objective No. 3 has been to create and aducational program proposal, which can serve as a practical guide for the application of theoretical data in clinical practice. Data necessary to achieve the determined objectives have been acquired by studing, analyses and comparison of available written documents relating to the natural and formula nutrition of infants. Most of these documents have been intended for the educational purposes at secondary school and universities in the Czech Republic. Also, data heve been taken from publications for parents and broad public published since 1945 until this day. By way of illustration, certain charts containing schemes of artificial nutrition corresponding to the time of creation have been used. On these schemes I wanted to show the chages in the concepts brought about by the development not only in the knowledge and thinking of people dealing with the nutrition of infants but also in the new possibilities and technology of the food processing industry.

"Extended-care of midwife in giving infants a massage on Puerperium Depertment of Strakonice Hospital and infants at home."
VAČKÁŘOVÁ, Iva
In my thesis, I focused at providing massages to neonates at the Puerperium Department of Nemocnice Strakonice, a.s., and to infants at home. My intention was to acquaint mothers with massages during the first days after birth and to teach them the massage technique. The knowledge gained can be used to improve care for children in domestic environment. The thesis used a combination of quantitative and qualitative research. The data collection made use of an anonymous survey, an electronic survey and non-standardized interviews. Six objectives were defined. Objective 1: To survey whether the received information is profitable for mothers. Objective 2: To survey whether mothers are interested in giving a massage to their infants in the post partum. Objective 3: To map the expected benefits of physiological massages for infants as viewed by their mothers. Objective 4: To map mothers? interest in continuing child massages at home. Objective 5: To map the real benefits of child massage in home environment as viewed by the mothers. Objective 6: To teach mothers massage procedures. All the objectives were met. On the basis of the objectives, five hypotheses (H) and two research questions (VO) were identified. H1: The received information is profitable for the mothers, the hypothesis was vindicated, 96 % of the mothers found the received information profitable. H2: Mothers are interested in giving a massage in the postpartum ward, the hypothesis was not vindicated, 11 % of the mothers were interested in massaging their infants while hospitalized. H3: From the mothers?? point of view, the most estimated benefit of massaging their physiological new-borns was evoking relaxation and comfort, the hypothesis was vindicated, 94 % of the mothers mentioned that the most estimated benefit is evoking relaxation and comfort of their infants. H4: Mothers are also interested in performing massages at home; the hypothesis was confirmed ? 54 % of the mothers perform massages at home. H5: As viewed by the mothers, the biggest benefit of child massages at home is to induce relaxation and well-being; the hypothesis was confirmed ? 84 % of the mothers said the biggest benefit of child massages at home achieved was to induce relaxation and well being of their children. VO1: How do mothers perform child massages at home? Mothers who give massages to their babies at home mostly comply with proper procedure and technique of massages. Hypothesis 1 was defined for the research question: The demonstration of massage procedure to mothers in the maternity hospital was sufficient for proper massages performed at home. VO2: What are the benefits of massage as viewed by the mothers? The mother sees the benefits of massages mainly for their children to whom massages bring positive effects both physically and mentally. This is a great benefit for the mothers themselves. Hypothesis 2 was defined for the research question: The mothers are happy to get acquainted with new developments in the care of their children if they can see positive results in the satisfaction of their children. Findings from the research could be used to improve care for neonates not only at the Puerperium Department of Nemocnice Strakonice, a.s. but also in other health facilities where the clients come first and where the staff is willing to introduce any changes to the existing care. The results of the research could also attract considerable attention of private midwives who come into contact with mothers during pregnancy and give them the first and sometimes the most important information in the care of the baby.

The mothers education about baby swimming
POTUŽNÍKOVÁ, Lucie
Specialists engaged in providing health care belong among those whose job description binds them to educate the others in health-related issues. Such activity should always be strictly professional in its characteristics, procedures, methods and objectives. Nowadays people feel increasingly responsible for their health and try to take active care of the quality of their lives, also at the stage of life when they bring up their offspring. Perhaps that was the reason why people started to take their children of pre-school age or even younger to what is known as the "infant swimming". The theoretical part of the activity is dedicated to education, i.e. the rules and conditions of the infant swimming, and with this part completed, the swimming proper may commence. The research, conducted between January and April 2008, was based on a quasi-experiment and a questionnaire survey. Altogether 100 questionnaires were distributed, out of which 99% were returned in usable form (one was rejected for incompleteness). The effort followed these objectives: (1) to prepare for mothers workable instructive materials on "swimming" with infants; (2) to inform mothers on swimming with infants; (3) to make certain the educational materials thus produced motivate mothers to try the "infant swimming; and (4) to inform nurses working in GP's surgeries specialized in children & youngster medicine on the "infant swimming". The research investigated 5 hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: mothers of infants are not informed on the "infant swimming" - confirmed; Hypothesis 2: mothers do not get their initial information on the "infant swimming" from nurses in the GP's surgeries specialized in children & youngster medicine - confirmed; Hypothesis 3: educational materials make the mothers of infants interested in the "infant swimming" - confirmed; Hypothesis 4: Nurses in the GP's surgeries specialized in children & youngster medicine are not informed on the "infant swimming" and, therefore, are not able to educate the mothers of infants - confirmed. Hypothesis 5: Nurses in the GP's surgeries specialized in children & youngster medicine are interested in this instructive material on "infant swimming" developed for mothers of infants - also confirmed. The Paper concluded that nurses working in the GP's surgeries specialized in children & youngster medicine do not sufficiently inform mothers of infants about the "infant swimming" (for they themselves lack the relevant information). Other findings show that the mothers would be happy about obtaining information on the "infant swimming" from the nurses at these medical offices. The Paper preparation became an occasion for development of a material on "infant swimming" possibly instrumental in spreading the related information among both the children's nurses and the mothers of infants. Apart from other purposes, this educational material can serve as a basis wherefrom other materials of similar nature will originate.
