Doula´s influence with a smooth course of childbirth and with a job of the midwife and of the child´s nurse
BELEŠOVÁ, Romana
Child delivery, as well as death, is a universal experience. It may be the most powerful creative experience, a fraction in the stream of human existence. It may be a celebration of joy and perceived as beautiful and sublime. Child delivery is considered a natural phenomenon leaving deep impression in our minds. Nowadays there is a tendency to the so called natural ways of deliveries. The current trend in maternity hospitals is humanization of obstetrics and delivery in itself. This means that the best way how to spend the period of pregnancy is a good preparation for pregnancy and delivery and the new role of a mother and a father. It is important for the parents to have an active approach to pregnancy from the very beginning, getting information and learning practical skills to the child delivery. It is almost obvious that at the most meaningful event as a child delivery is the father or another close person is present. Besides the closest persons it is a doula who sometimes accompanies the mother. This term denotes a care provider (a guide through the delivery, a companion, an assistant at the delivery) {--} a woman who has basic training on the birth management and knows various nursing procedures. A doula provides emotional support, physical assistance, explains the course of delivery and represents a reliance of ``a friendly presence{\crq}q. To carry out the practical part of the thesis the method of quantitative research was used. The data to confirm or to reject the stated hypotheses were gained through questionnaires distributed from January to March 2009. One type was aimed at mothers and the other was made up for midwives and paediatric nurses. The research set was formed by 110 (100%) female respondents. 42 (38%) of them were mothers form the South Bohemian region, 34 (31%) midwives and 34 (31%) paediatric nurses working in the South Bohemian hospitals, antenatal clinics and paediatric clinics. The research set did not include a large number of respondents since there is not much awareness of the doula issue in public. As each group of female respondents was evaluated separately, the total number of them in each group was considered to be 100%. The objective of the thesis was to find out if mothers are interested in influencing the delivery by a doula, how midwives and paediatric nurses are informed about a doula job description and if the presence of a doula at the delivery is beneficial for the work of midwives and paediatric nurses. All the objectives were accomplished. The first hypothesis assuming the positive evaluation of a doula attendance at the delivery by mothers was confirmed. The second hypothesis, which assumed on the basis of experience gained by practice that midwives are better informed about a doula job responsibility at the delivery, was confirmed. The third hypothesis, which assumed that midwives perceive the presence of a doula at the delivery more positively than paediatric nurses, was also confirmed. The outcomes of the thesis will be beneficial both for mothers pondering over a doula presence at the delivery and for midwives and paediatric nurses who meet doulas accompanying mothers in hospitals and antenatal clinics.

"Extended-care of midwife in giving infants a massage on Puerperium Depertment of Strakonice Hospital and infants at home."
VAČKÁŘOVÁ, Iva
In my thesis, I focused at providing massages to neonates at the Puerperium Department of Nemocnice Strakonice, a.s., and to infants at home. My intention was to acquaint mothers with massages during the first days after birth and to teach them the massage technique. The knowledge gained can be used to improve care for children in domestic environment. The thesis used a combination of quantitative and qualitative research. The data collection made use of an anonymous survey, an electronic survey and non-standardized interviews. Six objectives were defined. Objective 1: To survey whether the received information is profitable for mothers. Objective 2: To survey whether mothers are interested in giving a massage to their infants in the post partum. Objective 3: To map the expected benefits of physiological massages for infants as viewed by their mothers. Objective 4: To map mothers? interest in continuing child massages at home. Objective 5: To map the real benefits of child massage in home environment as viewed by the mothers. Objective 6: To teach mothers massage procedures. All the objectives were met. On the basis of the objectives, five hypotheses (H) and two research questions (VO) were identified. H1: The received information is profitable for the mothers, the hypothesis was vindicated, 96 % of the mothers found the received information profitable. H2: Mothers are interested in giving a massage in the postpartum ward, the hypothesis was not vindicated, 11 % of the mothers were interested in massaging their infants while hospitalized. H3: From the mothers?? point of view, the most estimated benefit of massaging their physiological new-borns was evoking relaxation and comfort, the hypothesis was vindicated, 94 % of the mothers mentioned that the most estimated benefit is evoking relaxation and comfort of their infants. H4: Mothers are also interested in performing massages at home; the hypothesis was confirmed ? 54 % of the mothers perform massages at home. H5: As viewed by the mothers, the biggest benefit of child massages at home is to induce relaxation and well-being; the hypothesis was confirmed ? 84 % of the mothers said the biggest benefit of child massages at home achieved was to induce relaxation and well being of their children. VO1: How do mothers perform child massages at home? Mothers who give massages to their babies at home mostly comply with proper procedure and technique of massages. Hypothesis 1 was defined for the research question: The demonstration of massage procedure to mothers in the maternity hospital was sufficient for proper massages performed at home. VO2: What are the benefits of massage as viewed by the mothers? The mother sees the benefits of massages mainly for their children to whom massages bring positive effects both physically and mentally. This is a great benefit for the mothers themselves. Hypothesis 2 was defined for the research question: The mothers are happy to get acquainted with new developments in the care of their children if they can see positive results in the satisfaction of their children. Findings from the research could be used to improve care for neonates not only at the Puerperium Department of Nemocnice Strakonice, a.s. but also in other health facilities where the clients come first and where the staff is willing to introduce any changes to the existing care. The results of the research could also attract considerable attention of private midwives who come into contact with mothers during pregnancy and give them the first and sometimes the most important information in the care of the baby.

Adaptation of a Child to the Kindergarden
ŠMÍDOVÁ, Linda
The aim of this thesis is to highlight the importance of the adaptation period of a child to the nursery school setting, in connection with the importance of the family background and the necessity of a close cooperation of families and nursery school staff. In the theoretical part the student focuses on the different factors influencing the child?s nursery school adaptation and their description. The attention is dedicated especially to education in the family, and particularly to the mother-child relationship. In the practical part the student describes the performance of several adaptation period case studies, carried out in her class-room, on 2 to 4 children. The single case studies include the observation of children?s behavior, the description of selected adaptation means and different strategies of nursery school-family cooperation in the period from the inscription of the child to the Nursery school (spring 2010) to January 2011. To complement the practical part of the thesis, the student carries out a survey among the parents, by the means of questionnaires, to find out how the nursery school adaptation process of the children runs in practice. That is to underline how important it is to base the theoretical concept of pre-school education mainly on work experience.

TUČEK BRZORÁD, Jitka
The bachelor thesis deals with the opinion of selected sample of women. The respondents are women of all age categories living in cities of South and Central Bohemia. The theoretical part of the work defines various forms of the position of women in the society, which are considered from both current and historical perspective. The practical part of the work, based on results of opinion pool, gives answers to two questions: do the age or education of the women affect their opinion of family or professional career. I try to confirm or reject these hypotheses by analyzing the collected sample. The obtained results are compared with the opinions already published in scientific literature and summarized in the conclusions.

Ensuring appropriate security and safety of mothers and newborns at the department of post-natal care
ŠTĚPÁNOVÁ, Martina
The bachelor degree thesis called ? Meeting the need of security and safety of mothers and newborns at the postnatal ward " is divided into theoretical and empirical parts. The theoretical part describes nursing care of newborns in order to meet the needs of security and safety of newborns and their mothers (identification of newborns, rooming-in, breast-feeding, comfort, safe handling and hygienic care). The objective No. 1 in the empirical part was to map the tasks of midwives / pediatric nurses in meeting the needs of security and safety of mothers and newborns. The formulated hypothesis was: Midwives / pediatric nurses are involved in meeting the needs of security and safety of mothers and newborns. The quantitative research used the method of inquiring with a questionnaire technique. The surveyed group consisted of 60 midwives / pediatric nurses working at neonatology wards. The objective No. 2 was to map how the meeting of the needs of security and safety of newborns is perceived by mothers at the postnatal ward. The formulated research question was: How do the mothers perceive the meeting of the needs of security and safety at the postnatal ward? The qualitative research used the method of inquiring with a technique of in-depth interview. The surveyed group consisted of 5 mothers hospitalized at the postnatal ward and their children hospitalized in the station of physiological newborns in the Hospital in České Budějovice. The objective No. 3 was to map how the mothers observe measures aimed at security and safety (rules of safe handling of newborns in general). The research question was formulated as follows: How the mothers observe measures aimed at meeting the needs of security and safety (rules of safe handling of newborns in general)? Also this part of research was qualitative, using the method of observation and a record sheet technique. The surveyed group was the same as in the previous case. All the objectives have been met. Based on the submitted results the hypothesis No. 1 has been confirmed. Midwives / pediatric nurses are involved in meeting the needs of security and safety. The research question No. 1 has been answered. The mothers ranked the meeting of the needs of security and safety positively, in 4 cases out of 5. The research question No. 2 has been answered as well. The mothers seek to observe the measures aimed at meeting the needs of security and safety, however, the weakest point is still the handling of newborns. Therefore an educational brochure has been developed for the mothers. The results of the research will be communicated to midwives / pediatric nurses working in the station of physiological newborns at the neonatology ward in the Hospital in České Budějovice. The bachelor degree thesis may serve as a source of information for future students of midwifery.

Current priorities in the care of physiological newborn infants as perceived by mothers in the Maternity Ward.
KUBÁTOVÁ, Klára
The Bachelor paper titled the "Current priorities in the care of physiological newborn infants as perceived by mothers in the Maternity Ward" has the character of a research. The paper itself is split into two sections - the theoretical one and the practical one. The theoretical section offers a comprehensive picture of care given to physiological newborns in Maternity Wards. Moreover, this section provides a general outline of problems encountered in establishing a profound emotional bond between the mother and the baby during their first moments together. The practical section aimed to disclose the mothers' wishes and expectations for their time spent with the baby in the Ward. The paper's objective of revealing the priorities in the care of physiological newborn infants as perceived by mothers in the Maternity Ward has been met. To tackle the subject and to attain the objective specified above, the author chose to apply the qualitative method of investigation supported by non-standardized interviews held with three women coming through the postnatal period of puerperium and five women who delivered the year before. The results allowed for answering these research questions: Are the mothers interested in obtaining more information from the medical staff on the care of physiological newborns while they stay in the Maternity Ward? Are the mothers satisfied with the current system of providing care to physiological newborns in the Ward? What do the mothers see as priority one in the care of physiological newborns delivered in the Ward? Results of the Bachelor paper and the related findings can be beneficial for future students of midwifery. Besides, the paper can be found a useful source of information by even experienced children's nurses. Included in the paper is a piece of material intended to educate the beginner midwives in the basic principles of communication with the mothers of physiological newborns.
