NĚMCOVÁ, Simona
The diploma paper characterizes what motivates adults for lifelong learning. The theoretical part provides you a comprehensive overview about adulthood, lifelong learning of adults, and about motivation itself. First of all, the diploma work defines adulthood , and it focuses on developmental and professional parts of it. Then, it provides you an integrated idea about lifelong learning of adults, it especially focuses on the basic terminology, an overview about lifelong learning, the educational system in ČR and other types/cathegories of lifelong learning.

It focuses for example on the system of benefits and gains, which is closely connected with lifelong learning. The practical part evaluates quantitative research methods.

The senior as a perpetrator for home violence
SMETANA, Marek
Home violence problem has been solved more intensively in the Czech Republic since 2000. Perpetrators for home violence are usually men as partners in life and they are very sporadically at senior age. From the sociological point of view seniors embody a kind of specificity; therefore, it sounds interesting to focus, within the thesis, on home violence perpetrated by seniors. The introduction of the bachelor thesis goes into explaining some basic concepts, reasons, kinds and forms of home violence. Besides, it is focused on seniors as a specific sociological group. In the main body of the thesis there are case studies of home violence files, which are at Písek Regional Department of the Police of the Czech Republic, of perpetrators above the age of 65 and the investigations of home violence specifics of the age category are documented there. The thesis target was to focus on specifications of the senior as a perpetrator for home violence and to describe reasons leading to home violence in their world. Findings can be used for the shaping of preventative measures to minimize home violence perpetrated by seniors. Six home violence case reports were studied at Písek Regional Department of the Police of the Czech Republic via the qualitative research technique. Seniors were perpetrators of those cases. Specifics of the mentioned age category of home violence perpetrators were disclosed by interviewing investigators of the cases via the no-standardised form of interview. Research results of the studied cases confirm the fact that perpetrators{\crq} partners tend to excuse perpetrators{\crq} violence. Periods of violence, tranquility and forgiveness usually take turns in the cohabitation of partners. Police investigators should improve their own skills in the field of appropriate communication with both the aggressive and violent perpetrator and the victim of the home violence. Police investigators should also deepen their coordination with organisations which help victims of home violence. Police training centres should hone investigators{\crq} skills in the field of assertive techniques, which are focused on appropriate communication with seniors and with other specific groups.

Dragomirecká, Eva ; Srnec, Jan (advisor) ; Kebza, Vladimír (referee) ; Hrachovinová, Tamara (referee)
The aim of this study is to investigate which factors are related to the quality of life of the elderly in the Czech Republic. In the first part of the work we summarized current findings about the ageing, particularly from demographical, sociological and psychopathological perspectives. Farther we discussed the concept of quality of life and research of quality of life in the elderly. In the second research part we analysed data from a representative sample of 325 older adults living in Prague that we collected as a part of the cross-cultural project "The Measurement of Quality of Life in Older Adults and its Relationship to Healthy Ageing". Set of instruments included the quality of life assessments (WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-OLD), the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), The Attitudes to Ageing Questionnaire AAQ and Socio-demographic form. To identify determinants of various aspects of quality of life we ran regression analyses separately for each of the six WHOQOL-OLD and four WHOQOL-BREF dimensions. The strongest predictor across all quality of life dimensions was depression. The results confirm the importance of interventions and programmes promoting psychological well-being and preventing depressing in the elderly.

The role of nurses in the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases
CICHROVÁ, Lenka
The thesis seeks to examine the role of nurses in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Today, CVD are one of the most frequent causes of death in adults worldwide. In Europe they are involved in up to 40% of deaths annually. These diseases affect the heart and blood vessels and can occur in several forms, such as ischemic heart disease, stroke or high blood pressure. Therefore, primary prevention is a vital part of nursing interventions. Prevention of CVD is closely linked to the awareness of risk factors. Hence, it should be aimed at proper handling of such factors or possible treatment. The work is composed of two parts, the first part being theoretical and the second practical. Two objectives were set for this thesis. Firstly, to map out the role of nurses in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases; secondly, to determine whether nurses in GP surgeries are involved in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The following research questions were defined: ?What is the main role of nurses in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases???How do nurses in GP surgeries engage in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases???Do nurses in GP surgeries use the SCORE risk charts??The qualitative research revealed that nurses are most often involved in the prevention of CVD as proper lifestyle educators and monitors of blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose. It was also found that nurses in GP surgeries engage in primary prevention of CVD. The thesis records interviews carried out with nurses, describing the interviews in the results. The most common and most interesting responses are given in tables. The results of the thesis can be used as a source of information on proper primary prevention of CVD in GP surgeries. This information was used to create guidelines for nurses on how to proceed in the primary prevention of CVD.

The physiotherapy of infantile paralysis in adult patients
Nedbalová, Anna ; Zounková, Irena (advisor) ; Snášelová, Lucie (referee)
Tato bakalářská práce je rešeršní studií zabývající se změnami funkce pohybového aparátu a fyzioterapeutickou léčbou u dětské mozkové obrny (DMO) v dospělém věku. Pro rešerši byly prohledány elektronické databáze pro období 1966 - 2005 a dále byly využity monografické publikace vztahující se k tématu. V rešerši bylo prokázáno, že v průběhu dospělosti dochází u osob s DMO ke zhoršování funkčního stavu pohybového aparátu. S rostoucím věkem se u velké části populace s DMO zhoršuje schopnost lokomoce a dochází ke ztrátě schopnosti chůze. Hlavním cílem fyzioterapie u dospělých osob s DMO je udržení funkčních dovedností a maximální samostatnosti. Pravidelnou fyzioterapeutickou péči má podle publikovaných studií necelá polovina dospělých s DMO. Bylo dokázáno, že posilovací cvičení přináší nárůst svalové síly. Není dostupná žádná literatura hodnotící efektivitu Bobath konceptu nebo Vojtovy metody u dospělých osob s DMO. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
