The Issue of Poverty and Its Practical Impact in Sub-Saharan Africa
VIEHMANNOVÁ, Kristýna
The work deals with the problem of poverty and its causes, impacts and possible help in Sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this thesis is based on the study of documents and other resources to present the issue of poverty, its causes, indicators and possible help in Third World Countries, to investigate the ways the International Monetary Fund helps in the fight against poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa in line with the Millennium Development Goals, which were adopted by representatives of all UN Member States in 2000 at the Millennium Summit. The research was conducted by the secondary data analysis, focused on written documents, literature, press and television broadcasts on the International Monetary Fund and the question of whether this is in line with the MDGs. In the work I specify the concept of poverty in the context of African countries, I point to the geographic, demographic and cultural characteristics of this continent, the beginning of the crisis and indebtedness of states with international institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Further, I give a detailed description of the International Monetary Fund as an institution from its foundation, including the roles it plays in financial assistance to countries. In my work I conclude that the policy proposed by the IMF, which is financial austerity, privatization and market liberalization, is by no means an effective way to economic growth in poor countries of Sub-Saharan Africa and definitely does not correspond to meeting Millennium Development Goals.

Interviewees employed their own opinions, insights, experiences, and feelings. The research included six midwives working in the delivery room of Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, University Hospital in Pilsen. Results The most common problem stated by the interviewed midwives was that there are certain gaps in educational systems in obstetrics related to practical training of readiness for managing stressful situations. The midwives agreed on sufficiency of overall extent of curriculum. As a problematic part they pointed out the field of theoretical education in the subjects of communication, medical communication and psychological communication where the education did not prepare them sufficiently for managing stressful situations. Furthermore, the research showed that the interviewees perceived negatively the absence of teachers of professional experience in a hospital during practice training. On the contrary, the midwives would welcome the presence of teachers at students? practice training or reduction of the number of students at shifts. The students? impossibility to record given matters in the medical documents was stated as a significant problem, since the logical view of students at a group care system at the respective department is limited. In acute and critical situation occurred in the delivery room, the midwives often reported feelings of fear, increased stress, anxiety and worries whether they will be able to manage the given situation. The midwives identically reported that they are trying to fight such stress but they all fail. Regarding this issue, they said it would be beneficial to increase the number of nursing staff and thereby prevent overstretching medical staff. One of the research questions was how midwives deal with stressful situations. The majority of midwives answered that through relaxing at home or in the company. In overall, the midwives assessed that the age of midwives and their professional experience play an important role in managing stressful situations. During their practice training, they learnt to act more promptly and prudently which has a positive effect on solving acute and critical situations in the delivery room. When querying the perception of the adaptation process, all midwives were satisfied with the length of adaptation and their midwife trainer. Regarding managing stressful situations, after termination of the adaptation process, the midwives reported this period as a time of increased strain towards their person both mentally and physically. The research survey identified a need to put more classes of theoretical education regarding communication and communication techniques.
