Žáková, Ludmila
The aim of the diploma thesis was to evaluate the influence of rabbit housing technology on slaughter value. Two experimental groups of rabbits were compared. One group of rabbits was reared in outdoor rabbit hutches, and the other group was reared in a free housing regime. During the fattening period of both groups of rabbits, body length, ear length and weight were measured, all at two-week intervals. After slaughter, individual parts of the JUT were weighed, a sample was taken in the form of one pelvic limb and submitted for laboratory analysis within 24 hours after slaughter. After processing the results of the experiment, it was found that rabbits from the free housing method showed a better average daily gain. On the contrary, as regards the proportion of protein in rabbit meat, a higher value was achieved for rabbits in the pen housing system.

The role of nurse in the client's adaptation in elderly house
ŽÁKOVÁ, Ludmila
Theoretical outcomes Admission of elderly people to a retirement home changes their lives in many ways. With regard to these changes, it is necessary for the senior citizen to adjust effectively to this situation and thus prevent complications related to the so-called maladaption syndrome. Adaptation can be defined as a basic human trait which allows people to survive even extremely difficult situations. It can be divided into several phases. Every elderly person goes through individual phases which sometimes might be linked together and of different length. The whole adaptation process needs to be handled responsibly since the person's future life depends on its progress. Aim of the thesis Aim of the thesis was to determine how nurses can contribute to the course of adaptation process in retirement homes. Research questions How is the nurse's role perceived by the client during the adaptation process? How do the nurses understand their own roles in the adjustment process? Which factors influence the course of the client's adaptation process? What is the role of family in the client's adjustment process to a new environment in retirement homes? What problems does the client newly admitted to a retirement home have to deal with? Methodology The practical part of the Bachelor's thesis was conducted by means of qualitative research survey. The method of collecting data consisted of two variants of a semi-structured interview. The first interview variant was aimed at registered general nurses working in a retirement home. The second interview variant was focused on elderly people living in a retirement home. The first group consisted of eight respondents, seven women and one man. The second group was comprised of seven respondents, five women and two men. All the collected interviews were transcribed and the results were subsequently processed using axial and open coding. Results Based on individual research questions, the results can be divided into several areas. The first part of the results focuses on the role of nurses in the adaptation process as perceived by the client. The results show that clients consider the nurses' role to be very important. The second part informs about the role of nurses in the adaptation process as seen by the nurses themselves. The outcomes indicate that nurses regard their role as vital too. Next, the third part sheds some light on factors that influence the course of adjustment process. Factors that were mentioned most often include changes after admission to the retirement home such as new environment and home regulations, family, nurses, interpersonal relationships and favourite things brought from home. Furthermore, the fourth area describes the importance of family during client's adjustment to the new environment of retirement homes. In this part, the respondents mostly agreed on benefit of family visits. Last, the fifth area identified problems which new clients in retirement homes have to face. A new way of life was described as the most difficult problem, followed by interpersonal relationships (including a new roommate), loss of home and privacy. Conclusion The thesis offers a complex overview of problems related to clients' adjustment to an environment in retirement homes and role of nurses during this process. The results of the thesis can be used as a teaching resource for students of nursing as well as students of similar backgrounds. Next, the outcomes could be also presented to nurses, caregivers and other workers in a seminar focused on issues related to new clients' adaptation to retirement homes. Moreover, this thesis can also serve as a basis for further research. Last but not least, gerontological nurses might also benefit from information provided in this Bachelor's thesis.
