BUDÍNOVÁ, Michala
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of infertility and also of the midwife care of a pregnant woman after assisted reproduction. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and the research part. The theoretical part initially defines the terms of infertility, fertility and sterility. Since infertility is always a diagnosis of a couple, the anatomy of a woman and of a man is described. Subsequently, the thesis focuses on the issue of infertility, i.e. assisted reproduction. What are the methods, risks and financing of assisted reproduction? The most common method of assisted reproduction includes Artificial Insemination and In Vitro Fertilisation. Assisted reproduction is a field of medicine that works with sperm, ova and embryos outside the body of a person, in order to make the woman pregnant. These methods carry certain risks, which are also being described in the thesis. The theoretical part is concluded with a description of the midwife care of a pregnant woman after assisted reproduction, where the midwife education and the term of nursing are emphasised. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to find out the specifics in the care of a pregnant woman after assisted reproduction. Three research questions had been asked: What is the nursing care of a pregnant woman after assisted reproduction like from the viewpoint of pregnant women? What is level of satisfaction of women with the nursing care after assisted reproduction? What are the specifics of experiencing woman's pregnancy after assisted reproduction? A quantitative research survey was used for the research, and data collection was conducted through individual interviews. The basis for the interview were 13 questions prepared in advance, 4 of which were the identifying questions. The research group was formed of eight female respondents. The interviews with women took place in quiet, predetermined places. Prior to the interview, a written request for co-operation was submitted to the respondent. In this request, the respondents were informed about the aim of the research and preservation of anonymity, see Annex 2. The request was signed by all eight female respondents before the actual interview. The interviews were recorded in writing continuously, analysed and divided into the main categories and subcategories, based on the answers of the respondents, using coloured text. The aim was to identify the individual consensus in the opinions of the addressed pregnant women after assisted reproduction. The first category examined the issue of assisted reproduction and was divided into ten subcategories, which dealt with the reasons for going through assisted reproduction, the methods of assisted reproduction, the environment of the centre of assisted reproduction, the personnel of the centre of assisted reproduction, experiencing the assisted reproduction prior to pregnancy, experiencing pregnancy after assisted reproduction, lifestyle during pregnancy after assisted reproduction, complications during pregnancy, opinions on financial burden of the clients and availability of information about assisted reproduction. The results of the research have shown the lifestyle of a woman after assisted reproduction, where the trend of activities was yoga, but at the same time limiting activities and inability to work from the very beginning of the pregnancy. The most common method in infertility treatment is IVF, where there is a high financial burden. The bachelor thesis has shown that women who have undergone assisted reproduction experience fear. Most often it is the fear of miscarriage. And that the infertility is not just a problem of women, but also of men.

The problem of infertility and the methods of resolving..
Semyakina, Anastasiya ; Peterka, Miroslav (advisor) ; Novotná, Božena (referee)
4 Abstract This diploma thesis is concerned with modern methods of treatment for infertility. It examines to what extent and in what cases are these methods used and what risk does it pose for a woman's and a child's health. Paticular emphasis is placed on the methods of assisted reproductive technology as the most used, effective and the most invasive. Nowadays 10-15% of couples face the problem of infertility. In most of the cases this problem can be solved with the help of hormonal therapy, surgery or assisted reproductive technology. The most common complication of ART (assisted reproductive technology) is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome which leads to higher frequency of miscarriages and can be fatal for a woman. Since more that one embryo is usually transferred in ART children conceived with the help of this method can face different problems related to multiple pregnancy such as higher risk of preterm birth, higher risk of congenital disorder or intrauterine growth retardation. Key words: ART, assisted reproductive technology, infertility, congenital disorder, multiple pregnancy

Hrabánková, Anežka ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Pašková, Miroslava (referee)
The aim of presented bachelor work is the problem of progressive reduction of the birth rate from its beginning up to present , when the phenomenon of childlessness is occurred relatively frequently. Intended childlessness begins to be the rightful alternative of living or reproductive strategy. At the same time the number of couples unable to deliver baby from the biological causes continues to increase. These facts weakens the position of parenthood.

My work also deals with the phenomenon of voluntary and involuntary childlessness, their extent in the Czech society is evaluated. The view of the society and the childless people themselves concerning this problem is also mentioned.
