Figalová, Sandra ; Raška, Ivan (advisor) ; Michalská, Dana (referee)
This thesis deals with calcium as one of the most important micronutrients in our body. The theoretical part describes the basic functions of calcium in the human body and its metabolism. Further it concerns significant resources of calcium and diseases associated with its excess or deficiency. The theoretical part also deals with calcium homeostasis and the factors affecting it and recommended daily calcium intake for different age groups. The practical part of this thesis includes quantitative research of calcium intake in the diet of medical staff at the General University Hospital in Prague reviewed through included graphs. It concerns mainly the calcium intake in the diet of nurses of the 3rd Internal Clinic of General University Hospital in Prague. The observed dietary calcium intake among nurses is sufficient for 50% of them. The second half of the respondents, however, evidence the lack of micronutrients in their diet. The results found were compared then to the recommended daily allowances of calcium. The practical part also evaluated the overall awareness of nurses about calcium intake and the incidence of calcium in the diet which is unsatisfactory for most of them. Finally, besides the detailed results, this thesis presents recommendations that could lead to improvement of the above conclusions...

Fuxová, Helena ; Brůžek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Blažek, Vladimír (referee)
This paper concludes basic information about reproductive life-span in humans, however the special emphasis is placed on a synthesis of available knowledge about the existence and evolution of menopause and postreproductive period. Based on published data, the paper focuses on the occurrence of these phenomena, not only in humans but also in other social mammals. Subsequently, this paper finds out that the termination of reproduction followed by postreproductive life-span is not only present in humans, but similar phenomena can be found also in other taxa. The special attention is given to the primates and the cetaceans, where the menopause phenomenon is being well studied. Moreover, to present a more complex and in-depth view into the topic, it is also crucial to mention a different point of view by the short insight into the existence of the menopause in other vertebrata and invertebrates. Moreover, there are compared phenomena of menopause and postreproductive period of humans and other representatives of the animal kingdom. Bachelor's thesis is the finding that menopause or end of reproduction followed by postreproductive life-span are phenomena more common than it is generally believed.

The role of a nurse in prevention of injuries with women patients with osteoporosis aiming at women in menopause
ŽAMBOCHOVÁ, Pavla
Injury rate among seniors has been increasing rapidly in the Czech Republic recently. Women in menopause with osteoporosis diagnosed form a large group. These are so called low-energy injuries, which are closely linked to increased mortality among old people. This issue is not only related to healthcare, but also to social and economic spheres. Proper education in prevention of injury occurrence in women with this diagnosis is one of the key means leading to reduction of the number of osteoporotic fractures. The Code of Ethics of the International Council of Nurses points out the obligation of a nurse to take responsibility in prevention sphere. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with characteristics of the menopause period, development of osteoporosis, the most frequent osteoporosis related injuries prevention, and an outline of social and economic impact of the injury rate. The practical part deals with a research performed on patients of the orthopaedic outpatient department of the Tábor Hospital. Six women with diagnosed osteoporosis in menopause were chosen. The main goal of the work was to find out what role a nurse from an orthopaedic outpatient department plays in prevention of injuries in women with osteoporosis, whether patients are aware of injury prevention possibilities, which form of provision of such information is best appreciated by the patients and whether the patients apply their knowledge of prevention to practice. A qualitative research in the form of non-standardized interview with open questions prepared in advance was performed. The interviews were conducted individually with each patient. A framework analysis based on the results from the interviews was performed and category groups formed. Processing of the results revealed that the information on prevention of injury in osteoporosis provided to the patients by the orthopaedic outpatient department was poor. Nurses are involved in this prevention activity just marginally or not at all. Complex identification of the problem might be the topic of further research. It might be necessary to find out whether insufficient time, poor knowledge of the problem or indifferent attitude to the problem is the reason. On the other hand only some of the patients apply their obtained knowledge to practice. We can however conclude from the interviews that provision of general information on prevention and the risks of injuries might inspire women to modification of their present way of life. Organization of group lectures with the possibility to obtain printed complex data of this society-wide problem seems to be a suitable form of providing information.

It deals with risk periods during the life of women related to body weight changes and presents the current scientific findings and recommendations in this area. In this work, two objectives were set. The first objective was to detect changes in a body weight during a woman's life, another objective was to determine how women are informed about changes in their body weight. The theoretical part describes the changes in the body weight at different stages of the life of women. Here, it deals principally with the increasing body weight and the related need to achieve and maintain an optimal weight. It also describes the recommended energy and biological value of food in the various essential periods of women, which has some influence on their body weight. It also deals with the principles of a proper diet and lifestyle. In particular, it focuses on the main elements, namely: the adequacy of energy intake with respect to the need and expenditure, the distribution of food in different parts of the day, an exercise, prevention of stress and getting enough sleep. In the practical part there are presented results of the research focused on the issue outlined above. The research, carried out in a questionnaire form, is dedicated to the body weight at different critical periods, the analyzing somatometric data, eating habits after the onset of menopause and awareness of this issue by women of the South-Bohemian region. It results from the results of the work that women changed their weight after menopause as compared with their previous weight. By contrast, the research shows that women did not change their eating habits in this critical period at all. The research also shows that women do not have enough information on the justness to keep their body weight, not to increase the weight after menopause. The research further shows that women have no information on the principles of the healthy diet in the period after postmenopausal.
