RUDKOVÁ, Eva
This thesis deals with the evaluation of vaccination against influenza among students of University of South Bohemia, their opinions and their approach to the issue of vaccination against influenza. The theoretical part is focused on historical, clinical, diagnostic, virological, immunological and epidemiological aspects of influenza vaccine development and vaccination against influenza. The aim of the practical part was to determine how widespread is influenza vaccination among students of University of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice, map their opinion on the vaccination and to assess their awareness regarding vaccination against influenza and influenza in general. For research purposes a questionnaire survey was distributed among students of the University of South Bohemia. The selection of respondents was conducted by stratified random selection so that it covered approximately 5% occupancy of each faculty. This research preceded a preliminary research to determine the suitability of the chosen method of data collection. As a data collection instrument was chosen the method of questioning by the form of questionnaires. Quota for the research was to study the respondents at the South Bohemian University and studied faculty. In total 468 questionnaires were evaluated. The results of the research shows that students of University of South Bohemia underestimate vaccination, and most of them have never been vaccinated against this disease. In spite of this is, the results show that the awareness of students is good and among faculties except the Faculty of Health and Social Care, there is not a significant difference. Faculty of Health and Social achieved in the overall awareness significantly higher result than other faculty. Thus confirming the hypothesis that there are differences between students' awareness of the Health and Social faculty and students of other faculties. The aim of this thesis is to alert students of the University of South Bohemia about the pros of influenza vaccination and increase their awareness in this area.

Impact of statute 108/2006 Sb., about social services, to senior´s taking social sevices
RUDKOVÁ, Eva
By raising living standards and the health care level, our citizens live longer lives, which is a favourable criterion of social climate. To ensure the funding of necessary social services to senior citizens, the Social Services Act No. 108/2006 Coll. can be applied to provide seniors with care allowance. Care allowance is a state benefit provided to individuals in difficult social situations, who are dependent on assistance from other individuals. The purpose of this benefit is to allow a person to arrange for a necessary assistance according to his/her own deliberation, either within a family or through a social services provider in the form of a particular social service, or by means of another person or a legal personality. The theoretical part of my thesis is focused mainly on aspects of aging, the Social Services Act, and primarily on the care allowance. In the practical part I mainly dealt with the impact of Act No. 108/2006 Coll. on drawing and use of social services by seniors. I wanted to identify the attitude of the elderly to social services. How and to what extent they use the services, if they receive a care allowance and if they properly understand its purpose. For my research I chose the method of a questionnaire survey. In the course of the months of June and July 2010, 100 seniors living in the Prachatice region were addressed. The research has proved that seniors feel sufficiently informed about the range of social services in their neighborhood and that they are satisfied with their quality. The research has shown that social services are being used far more by the elderly who receive a care allowance. The most popular are residential care homes and out-of-home care. A large proportion of the elderly also use unofficial services, provided by a close relative. Most seniors who do not draw a care allowance do not use any kind of social services. The results also show that women care about social services in a much larger percentage than men. I would like to see my work used for further research on this topic and also for educational purposes. It could help social services providers in the assessment which groups of potential clients they should focus on and so to increase their awareness of the range of social services available.
