Effect of Childbirth and Puerperium on sexuality of partners
LITVANOVÁ, Monika
This bachelor thesis deals with the influence of childbirth and puerperium on the sexuality of partners. Therefore, the theoretical part describes childbirth, puerperium and sexuality. Furthermore, the thesis deals with the midwife's and the partner's role during childbirth and puerperium. In total, three goals were established. The aim of the work was to find out whether the delivery and the puerperium period affect the sex life of the partners. The second goal was to determine whether the behavior of midwives affected the experience of childbirth for the mother or partner, and the third goal was to determine whether women have sufficient knowledge about sexuality during the postpartum period, and in the period after puerperium. On the basis of these goals, research questions have also been created. The first research question examined the influence of childbirth and puerperium on the sexuality of both partners. In the second research question we asked how the behavor of the midwife during delivery affects the experience the parent or the partner had during this time. a third research question addressed what knowledge women have regarding sexuality during and after puerperium. The research was conducted with women and men in their home environment during the month of March in 2018. a qualitative method was chosen to carry out the research. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews with women from six months to one year after delivery and with men whose partners were six months to one year after childbirth. The partners who participated in the research signed the Request for Co-operation Agreement. The interview consisted of 15 questions for the woman and 15 questions for the man, and according to the needs of the couple, additional questions have been added. On the basis of anonymity, individual women and men were idenified through letters and numbers, for example Ž1; M1. The obtained data have been processed by the pencil-paper method and color coded. Based on data analysis, major categories and subcategories were created. The first category for women is Childbirth, which has 6 subcategories - Preparation for childbirth, Psychic experience, Proposal for the presence of partner at birth, Contribution of the partner's presence at birth, Behavior and communication of the midwife, and The perception of the arrival of a newborn into the world. The second category was puerperium, which has 6 subcategories - General awareness, Awareness of sexuality, Resources, Strengthening relationships, Caring for the newborn, and Changes in partner life. The first category for men was defined by the category Childbirth, which also has 6 subcategories - Preparation for childbirth, Psychic experience, Suggestion for partner's presence at delivery, Behavior and communication of the partner, The behavior and communication of the midwife, and The perception of the arrival of a newborn into the world. The second category is puerperium, which has 6 subcategories - General awareness of partner's puerperium, Sexuality awareness, Sources of information, Strenghtening of relationship, Newborn care, and Changes in partner life. The research revealed that childbirth affected the sexual life of one pair. For the other pairs of the research group, birth had no effect on their sexuality after childbirth. For all couples from the research group, sex was affected by puerperium. The most common cause of change in sex life was the new role of women in the context of maternity, the change of women's and men's daily regime, the women's fatigue and exhaustion. It was also found that the midwife's attitude and presence during birth did not affect the experience of childbirth by women or men. It was also found that women and men were well educated about postpartum period and about sexuality in the postpartum period. Women were mostly informed by midwives and men from their own partner.

Issues of drinks dispensers and water intake of elementary-school pupils
LITVANOVÁ, Monika
Drinking regime is one of the topics that is much-debated. Failure to observe the principles of correct drinking regime threatens the health of children and seniors due to lack of fluids. The problem is, first, inadequate fluid intake, but also the quality of the received beverages. One of the major problems that lead to the fact that children drink inappropriate beverages may be that the majority of elementary schools have vending machines available with an inappropriate spectrum of offered sweetened and carbonated beverages. Result of long-term regular consumption may be an increase of overweight, obesity and increased tooth decay in children. The main objective of this thesis was to explore whether pupils of second grade primary schools comply with appropriate fluid intake during class. This thesis is also focused on finding the amount and preferences of drinks that students buy in beverage machines. Other partial objective was to find out what drinks children bring from home and whether parents and educators try to influence, through education, the drinking regime during class and range of drinks that children buy in school beverage vending machines. The theoretical section summarizes basic information about water in the body, drinking regime of the different types of beverages and the consequences of inadequate or excessive fluid intake. The practical part is the processing of data obtained through quantitative research mapping problems with drinking regime of elementary school students. The thesis may serve as a source of information for both educators and parents, or the founders of educational facilities. Recommendations made at the end may, in case of interest from concerned persons, influence and improve fluid intake of pupils in primary schools.

LITVANOVÁ, Monika
Currently, more and more people spend a lot of time on the computer both at work and in their leisure time. This bachelor thesis is aimed at identifying the impact of the time spent on the computer on BMI values. The main focus was on finding out how much time the youth of today spends on the computer and, moreover, which activities they do on their computers most, for instance. Further, the thesis is focused on eating habits, how they perceive themselves and how this affects their weight and health as a whole. The basic information on composition of nutrition, drinking regime, food pyramid and children?s nutrition is summed up in the first part of the theory. The second part was devoted to eating disorders, obesity, body image, movement, media and leisure time and the title of the last chapter was 'Computer and Development of Addiction'. The goals and a hypothesis, research methods are described and the results ascertained are presented in the practical part. The method of quantitative research through anonymous interviews was used for data gathering. The research set consisted of pupils at the age of 11 ? 17 in the 6th ? 9th grade. The research was conducted at the Pohůrecká Elementary School in České Budějovice. In total, 199 hard copies of the questionnaire were distributed and children could fill in it only after having written approval of their parents. 102 out of 199 questionnaires distributed returned; it was 53 girls and 49 boys who had filled in them. The research results have shown that both computer and the Internet have become a common part in households. Pupils work with the computer more and more and they spend a lot of time on it, which is reflected on their weight in a way. Further, the research suggests that majority of the respondents ? boys in particular ? do various sports more than girls, however, their BMI values are high, too.
