Patient's return to normal life after limb amputation
HRDONKOVÁ, Jana
The topic of this bachelor's thesis is the matter of the complex approach to patients who have had a limb amputated, which has a major impact on an individual's living standards. The excellent functionality of the entire team treating the individual is essential in this case, including the timing of follow-up care, so that the limb amputation patient's return to normal life is as easy as possible and the patient is not required to deal with obstacles that could complicate the process when he returns to his home environment. In the introductory chapters, the theoretical part of this paper discusses the history of limb amputation and gives a historic insight into prosthetic treatment compared to the current situation in the field of prosthetics. This is followed by a description of nursing care, with special focus on care of the stump, physiotherapy and, lastly, social support of individuals following limb amputation. Three objectives were determined - 1. To establish how informed limb amputee patients are before being discharged for subsequent care at home, 2. To establish how nurses are involved in the limb amputation patient's return to his home environment, 3. To establish how family members are involved in the process of preparing a patient for normal life before the individual is discharged from the medical facility. The semi-structured interview method was used to obtain answers to research questions for the purpose of achieving these objectives. Limb amputation patients who had returned to their normal lives made up one research sample and nurses from the surgical department made up the second research sample. The research survey revealed that there is a deficiency in the field of providing information to limb amputation patients in order to make their return to their normal lives easier. Patients left hospital with incomplete information about subsequent procedures that would make their return to their normal lives easier, for instance arrangement of compensation aids for patients, information about the possibility of being contacted by social workers and also contact information for services that could help them in this difficult situation. The bachelor's thesis research survey resulted in creation of an information brochure for limb amputation patients.

Zdravotní a sociální aspekty práce v privátním sexbyznysu
ONDRÁŠEK, Stanislav
Currently, private sex business is a quickly expanding but only hardly accessible part of sex business. Working in sex business in general means a number of severe risks and impacts that the persons providing sexual services have to deal with on a daily basis and that significantly impact their health and social lives. The presented dissertation focuses on selected health and social aspects of working in private sex business. The main objectives of the dissertation were: 1. To analyze if women working in private sex business are socially excluded and if yes then how such exclusion manifests; 2. To analyze the factors impacting continuing doing sex work or entering the legal labor market; 3. Analyze preventive health measures that the target group takes; 4. Finding out to which extent women working in private sex business receive social support from their environment. A partial objective of the dissertation was to analyze the development of private sex services in the South Bohemian Region and in Prague. The objectives were approached by combining qualitative and quantitative research strategies and methodological approaches. The survey was partially conducted as part of the project called " Životní styl žen v privátním sexbyznysu a jejich (sebe)reflexe" [Lifestyle of women in private sex business and their (self)reflection] that was financially supported by the Grant Agency of the University of South Bohemia under the evidence number GAJU No. 029/2016/S. The qualitative data was collected via interviews in combination with the biographical-narrative technique and semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data was collected via a questionnaire and using the standardized Duke-UNC Functional Social Support Questionnaire (FSSQ). The basic sample consisted of female sex workers in the South Bohemian Region and Prague (N=37). The comparative sample for analyzing social support consisted of street sex workers (N=40). The gained results were then processed by using qualitative and statistical analytical methods. The qualitative part of the research shows that private female sex workers are often confronted to a certain degree with social isolation manifested by a distorted or reduced social network. The results also show that in order to prevent sexually transmitted diseases they use protection; however, based on the client or surcharge they do not use protection. The analysis of subjective factors impacting remaining in sex business show that they perceive sex work as a job that gives them freedom. Such freedom is however impacted by rationalization of sex workers. A common identified feature of private female sex workers is a distorted view of legal work due to negative or lacking experience. A subjective and at the same time objective factor is also the financial aspect, in which sex business provides high and fast earnings. The objective factors are education and limited or non-existent practice on the legal labor market. Based on the analysis of quantitative data, the length of being active in sex business is statistically significant to the extent of social support that sex workers receive. There was a statistically significant difference between street sex workers who receive less social support than private sex workers. The dissertation provides insight into the issue of private sex business which is a very seldomly researched topic. The results of the dissertation should not be generalized due to a non-representative research sample but they can be used by organizations working with the target group to specifically provide expert help and intervention. The results also can be used for further research studies in the area of providing sex services/sex business.
