BLABOLOVÁ, Jana
The bachelor thesis deals with structure and frequency of infectious diseases in the Pilsen region in a sample of emergency. The selected sample represents the basic components of integrated rescue system. Introduction describes each part of this work, aims and ways how to meet objectives of this work. Theoretical part focuses on current development of the whole issue and legislation governing the issue of infectious diseases and measures against them in the Pilsen Region. Theoretical part provides a breakdown of a territory with regard to the basin, description of integrated rescue system in terms of Pilsen Region and general aspects, including basic legal rules governing the various components of integrated rescue system and emergency response. This section also describes general infectious diseases, dissemination, transmission of infectious agents, forms of occurrence, symptoms and forms of course. From extraordinary events, where dominates a risk of infectious diseases, with possibility of significant increase of diseases in the sample, I chose floods (flood). The most infectious diseases I chose for my work were leptospirosis, dysentery, viral hepatitis A and tularemia, as these kinds of infectious diseases have been identified as threatening to flood. Selected species of infectious diseases have been in this part of the work elaborated. They also described their occurrence, the risk that these pose to members of the basic components of the integrated rescue system and possible preventive measures to minimize the risk of their occurrence. The research part of this thesis deals with hypotheses and methodology of work. To meet the objectives of the work and test hypotheses, I used structured anonymous questionnaire. The target group of respondents of the questionnaire consisted of members of basic components of integrated rescue system in the Pilsen region - from the Police of the Czech Republic included in the district departments, members of the Fire and Rescue Service of the Czech Republic assigned to fire stations and emergency medical service members stationed at ambulance stations. The aim of the study was to determine the potential increase of selected infectious diseases in basic components of integrated rescue system during certain types of emergencies and at some time after them in Pilsen region, to identify the most common types of infectious diseases and to determine the level of the Base of the Integrated Rescue System on these selected infectious diseases. There were contained 26 questions in the questionnaire. Questions were directed to identify any increase of selected infectious disease emergency and at some time after them in the Pilsen region, information on basic components of the integrated rescue system and to identify the most common infectious diseases in the context of the extraordinary events in the Pilsen Region. The results of this survey and discussion of the assumptions of work: among members of basic components of the Integrated Rescue System an increase of selected infectious diseases in connection with the incident and informed members of the Integrated Rescue System on selected infectious diseases is sufficient, there was found that members of basic components of the Integrated Rescue system, there was no increase of selected infectious diseases in connection with the incident and informed members of basic components of the integrated rescue system on selected infectious diseases is sufficient. Both hypotheses are related, because awareness is also part of the principles of hygiene, use of protective equipment and thus minimize the risk of infectious diseases. The results also showed that only one respondent ill selected infectious diseases, but not in connection with an incident. The lowest percentage of correct answers of the characteristics of selected infectious diseases was with leptospirosis.
