CARDOVÁ, Barbora
The master thesis focuses on the role of a pediatric nurse in the prevention of infectious gastroenteritis in the pediatric departments. In the theoretical part of the thesis the focus is paid to general information concerning gastroenteritis and preventive measures in case they occur in the pediatric departments. In the empirical part of the thesis three goals are set. 1. Evaluate the health literacy of pediatric nurses working in the maternity ward and pediatric department in the field of pediatric gastroenteritis. 2. To assess the health literacy of pediatric nurses working in pediatric departments in the field of preventive measures against the spread of gastroenteritis in maternity wards and pediatric departments. And the 3rd last goal was to determine the opinions of pediatric nurses working in primary care and in pediatric departments regarding the optional vaccination of children against rotavirus. This part of the thesis deals with the analysis of data obtained using a self-administrated questionnaire. Questionnaires were given in the Hradec Králové region to nurses working in the pediatric and maternity departments of four local hospitals and to nurses in primary care at general practitioners for children and adolescents. The return of properly completed questionnaires was a total of 146, of which 110 questionnaires were from inpatient departments and 36 questionnaires from primary care. The research has shown that nurses have knowledge in the field of gastroenteritis, but they are not 100% informed. In the area of preventive measures of the spread of gastroenteritis, both research groups of nurses are very well oriented, and additionally nurses from primary care have a more positive opinion regarding the vaccination against rotavirus than nurses from inpatient departments. The output of the master thesis is a educational material for nurses, focused on the prevention of transmission of infectious gastroenteritis in pediatric inpatient departments.

DROBERJAROVÁ, Pavla
Current situation: A healthy lifestyle at children and education about it are currently very important. Failure to do so often leads to various health problems. In the theoretical part, we focus on the division of school age, the concept of health literacy and health determinants. We also deal with the role of a nurse at a general practitioner for children and adolescents and education in the field of a HL. Objectives: 1. To find out the knowledge of school children about a HL. 2. To map the active participation of school-age children in a HL. 3. To map the share of nurses in GPChA in the education of a HL in school-age children. Methodology: Within the research part, a quantitative research survey was performed using non-standardized questionnaires and a qualitative research method was used semi-structured in-depth interviews. The questionnaires were designed for 2 groups of school-age children (younger and older), where 23 research questions were used. Interviews were conducted with nurses at the GPChA, who answered 21 questions. The research was done with children aged from 8 to 15 and nurses at GPChA in the Vysočina region. Research group: It consisted of 120 children (from 8 to 15 years) and 8 nurses in GPChA offices. Results: Research has shown that children's knowledge of a HL does not differ with age. The active participation of children in a HL differs between girls and boys. It showed that nurses at the GPChA participate very in children's raising to the HL. Thanks to frequent interviews of nurses with children and their parents, this situation can improve. Recommendations for practice: The results of the survey can be used for nurses working in the paediatrics ward, in GPChA offices, for children and their parents or pedagogical staff.
