Breastfeeding issues of women using tobacco products
KUBÍNOVÁ, Magda
Introduction Breastfeeding is the most optimal and natural way to feed all newborns and infants. It brings many benefits to both mother and baby. Breast milk has an ideal ratio of sugars, fats and proteins, as well as vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Tobacco use should be taboo during lactation. Nicotine, together with other harmful substances, passes into breast milk and thus affects its composition and taste, and has a negative effect on the health of the breastfed baby. Objectives Four objectives were set for this thesis. O1: "Find out the level of awareness of the risks of using tobacco products while breastfeeding." O2: "Find out what problems are associated with smoking while breastfeeding." O3: "Find out what motivates mothers to continue smoking during breastfeeding. O4: "Create an educational material for mothers about the risks of smoking during breastfeeding." Methodology During the implementation of the research survey, a qualitative research survey was used in the form of in-depth interviews with mothers who have experience with smoking tobacco products during breastfeeding. The mothers' answers were recorded in writing and then transcribed into the Microsoft Word program. Subsequent coding and diagram creation was performed using the Atlas.ti program. The research group consisted of eight mothers. The snowball method was used. Results The research shows that smokers mothers knowledge of the risks and problems associated with the use of tobacco products during breastfeeding is unsifficient. Some mothers were unable to identify a single risk. Mothers reported restlessness, insomnia, and frequent crying as the most common problems with smoking while breastfeeding. The reason for continuing to smoke is better for mothers to manage stress, feelings of calm and relaxation, the desire to have a moment for themselves and the associated escape from reality, addiction and bad habit.

Nursing Care for Fractures in Pre-school Children.
KUBÍNOVÁ, Magda
The thesis titled "Nursing care for preschool aged children with bone fractures" deals with the issue of nursing care for preschool aged children with long bones fractures. Furthermore it deals with the hospitalisation management in a children's ward. The issue of child bone fractures is still an up-to-date topic. The nursing care of these children has its own specifics as compared to other hospitalised children. This thesis is mostly focused on the specifics of the nursing care, potential complications, and hospitalisation management in a children's ward. The first objective was focused on the specifics of nursing care for preschool aged children with long bone fractures. The second objective was to find out, how a child, who has suffered a long bone fracture, handles hospitalisation in a children's ward. Three research questions were set in connection with the above-mentioned objectives. The first research question deals with the specifics of care for these children. The second research question is focused on potential complications, which may arise from the nursing point of view. The third research question is set to find out, what are the benefits of hospitalising a preschool child, who has suffered fractures, together with the parents. In order to elaborate this thesis a qualitative research was taken advantage of with the use of semi-structured interviews with general nurses, and with the parents of hospitalized children in a children's ward. The research sample consisted of nine nurses and eight parents. This thesis should be utilized for familiarization with the issue of child bone fractures, and the subsequent elimination of complications that may arise while taking care of these children. We have found out that the most common complications, these children face, are skin defects, and bones healing in the wrong position. Furthermore, we have found that the difference in nursing care for these children, compared to other hospitalised children, is predominantly in the area of immobilization, pain, and duration of hospitalisation.
