Prevention of accidents at preschool age
PETR, Petr
Every year, more than 300 000 accidents of children occur requiring medical treatment or hospitalization in a hospital. Around 300 children die as a result of an accident every year. In comparison with other European countries, the Czech Republic occupies one of the worst positions as to frequency of accidents of preschool children. The objective of this thesis is to identify existence, quantity and scope of preventive activities in facilities designed for preschool children within the district of České Budějovice. The subject includes confirmation or rejection of a hypothesis whether there is a relation between the size of the town or municipality, frequency and scope of preventive activities. To verify the stated hypothesis, interviews were held in which the pedagogical staff of preschool facilities were asked questions concerning prevention of accidents in their facilities. Assessment of the interviews results did not confirm the hypothesis of an existing relation between the size of the town or municipality, the frequency and scope of preventive activities. In all visited facilities, preventive activities are carried out, focused on prevention of all forms of accidents. Preschool facilities directly in České Budějovice can visit preventive events organized by units of the Integrated Emergency System with less difficulties than facilities in the country thanks to better accessibility by the public transport. In spite of the mentioned difficulties, most of upcountry facilities participate in those events in close cooperation with the local Police or voluntary fire department. Some preschool facilities have their specific focus and programmes compared to the usual standard. In some of them they deal with drugs and tobacco prevention, other facilities are visited by students of PF JU with their programmes focused on prevention, still others present children thematically focused stories on CDs and DVDs. Other facilities, for example, organize a children{\crq}s day related with prevention in road traffic or organize a visit of ZOO joined with a lecture on how to treat animals. We can see as a certain gap in preventive programmes an absence of the central methodology for their organizing. Suggestion and recommendation for improvement of the situation could include completion of central methodology for prevention for preschool children which would include in its content and provide individual circuits and specializations on specific dangerous situations a child can get in. Another proposal for solution of the situation could be provision of preschool facilities with materials and aids for presentation of preventive education organized mostly in the form of games.

Prevention of Injuries and State Prevention Support
KŮSTKOVÁ, Lenka
I wanted to clarify two basic objectives through my thesis. The first objective was to determine how the state supports the programmes focused on injury prevention. The other objective was the description of state programmes and their subsequent evaluation. The theoretical section explains the concept of an injury. It also includes the classification of injuries, it explains the causes of injuries and their consequences, it deals with the classification of injuries by age, it focuses on the specifics of injuries in the age group of 20 to 40 years. It also describes the current status of injury prevention. It divides preventive efforts into the activities that fall within the activities of the World Health Organization (WHO), the state and institutions, and cities. The results of the thesis show that implemented preventive activities are focused primarily on school-age child population, as well as youth and young people. The data for this bachelor thesis was obtained through qualitative research methods, interview techniques with open questions. A data analysis was used to process the information. The respondents believe that there are not a sufficient number of preventive activities for their age group. The thesis research shows that the respondents consider injury prevention as clearly necessary and important. The thesis research also deals with using the Trauma Register in the state injury prevention programmes. The register is currently focused on the child population only. It is planned to extend the data to the adult population.

Physiotherapy after the forearm and the hand injuries
POLÁKOVÁ, Jana
My bachelor thesis dealing with the topic Physiotherapy after forearm and hand injuries, describes not only the complete anatomy of the forearm and hand, characteristics of the particular injuries and the complications thereof, but also examination methods and possibilities of rehabilitation, by means of which the patients frequently regain former functions of the extremity affected. The thesis aims to find out whether patients are able to return to their original occupations as well as their original hobbies. The research part, in which the casuistic method and that of a free conversation with patients in the course of their attendance to rehabilitation procedures were used, contains descriptions of diagnoses and examinations of two patients with a different therapy success. The conclusion of the thesis resulted in the fact that the convalescence success of patients and their return to work largely depends on how complicated their diagnoses are and on the character of their work. In my opinion patients should be provided with a complex care, which includes timely medical help and subsequent physiotherapy and ergotherapy. A very substantial problem that is omitted is the patients{\crq} mental state, and for that reason the convalescence process should involve possible visits to a psychologist. Another essential thing is to inform the patient systematically on his/her state and future, and his/her motivation for his/her effort of improvement.
