VRŠANOVÁ, Markéta
Allergy may be called a disease of the century and we rank it among civilization diseases. In the mid 20th century allergy was confirmed to one of a hundred inhabitants, and every fifth inhabitant of the Republic is allergic nowadays. Unfortunately more and more children suffer from this disease. To be able to understand the disease better and to cope with that a human needs as much information as possible. Education by nurses plays a key role in this sphere. Educational activities of nurses form an inseparable part of successful allergy treatment. The Thesis examines whether education and approach of a nurse to parents and children influences their view of and approach to the disease. The first aim of the thesis was to find how parents are informed about their child{\crq}s disease {--} allergy {--} by a nurse and what particular effect the disease has on their family. The second aim of the thesis was to find out how a child patient understands his/her problem and how he/she is educated in the treatment regime by a nurse. The theoretical part deals with the history of allergy and the immune system, types of allergies, prevention, their treatment, education by a nurse and communication. The practical part analyses information from a research. Quantitative research in the form of two questionnaires was chosen for the investigation. The first one was designed for parents accompanying their children to allergy clinics and the other one for children being treated for some kind of allergy. The research was performed at allergy clinics in Písek and Strakonice between the end of November 2009 and the end of March 2010, and 70 respondents participated in both the questionnaires. The aims of the Thesis were met, the hypotheses confirmed. The results confirmed the hypotheses that parents and children understand their diseases, they know the prevention and treatment of the disease thanks to education by a nurse.

Quality of life of children with chronic diseases - asthma
VANČUROVÁ, Alena
In my thesis I focused on the issue of children aged from 12 to 19 suffering from asthma bronchiale. I described the distribution, characteristic and cure of the disease. I wrote about the pharmacoeconomical aspects of the disease and about the education of children by their doctors. My first hypothesis was that children suffering from asthma bronchiale live lives of lower quality than children without asthma. I wanted to find out to which extent asthma limits the sufferers and compared that with ?healthy? peers. I wanted to find out whether the sufferers are significantly restricted in their free-time activities (sport, etc.) by the disease, if they miss a lot of subject matter at school and if the disease negatively affects their school results. I also wanted to find out about the mental state of the juvenile asthma sufferers, whether they keep the prescribed drug dosage and if the drug dosage suits them. My second hypothesis was that parents of children suffering from asthma bronchiale are worried more about their children than parents of ?healthy? children. In my work I used the method of questioning and I myself created my questionnaire. There is a table at the end of my questionnaire which is used for assessing the quality of life. The table is also completed with VAS (Visual Analogous Scale) where the respondent identifies the level of satisfaction with their life on an abscissa. This method is called SEIQoL (The Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life).

BOHATÁ, Hana
Chronic rhinitis is an inflammatory disorder of the nasal mucous membranes which is provoked by exposure to allergens. The most important allergens are - house dust mites, pollens, animal allergens, mould etc. Allergy is also influenced by hereditary factors. Treatment of the complaint involves avoidance of triggers if possible and pharmacological therapy. This therapy may start with using treatments on an as required basis purchased from the pharmacist. If the symptoms worsen then the patient should seek help from a specialist. It requires a long-term management plan and the active cooperative of the patient. I selected the following targets: Target1: Find out how chronic rhinitis can affect the quality of the patient{\crq}s life. Target2: Find out if patients with chronic rhinitis are well informed about their disorder. The results were: H1: Chronic rhinitis has a negative effect on the quality of the patient{\crq}s life.H2: Patients are well informed about their disorder. I would like to present the results of my work to doctors and nurses engaged in this line of work.
