Nurses educational activities in patients with epilepsy
KŘÍŽKOVÁ, Markéta
The topic of this work is: Educational work of nurse with patients suffering from epilepsy. The word education means upbringing and education. Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases. Nurses should, therefore, be educated in this field in such way that they could teach the patient to follow the treatment regime. The thesis is divided into theoretical and empiric part. In the first part I focus on the epilepsy itself. In the second part I describe the education, its kinds, methods, goals and phases. Furthermore, I describe the role of a nurse as an educator and the content of education of an epileptic patient. Quantitative and qualitative research solution was chosen. Quantitative researching was done with the use of data collecting technique of questionnaire for nurses working at the neurology ward. The results of quantitative research were presented in a chart and evaluated in discussion. Qualitative researching was made in the form of non-standardised interviews with clients suffering from epilepsy. There were two objectives set by this bachelor thesis. The first one was to map general nurses? knowledge of the methods of education of patients suffering from epilepsy. A hypothesis was set: "Nurses know the methods of education of patients with epilepsy." The second aim was to ascertain the knowledge of patients with epilepsy, educated by nurse, about the treatment regime and a research question was set: "What is the knowledge of patient with epilepsy about the treatment regime after he has been educated by the nurse?" After processing the results of questionnaire we can say that the hypothesis was confirmed. Nurses are well informed about the methods of education. But I think the nurses have little knowledge about education itself. There is certainly room for improvement. The results of quantitative research pointed out that many nurses are not engaged in educating clients with epilepsy. The interviews showed that the clients have knowledge about the treatment regime but is seems plain to them. As an output of this work, an informational material with basic information about treatment regime for patients with epilepsy was created (appendix 4). Furthermore, my work shows some examples of the structure of educational plan in nursing (appendix 1). It should serve the nurse as a source for education administration.

The first aim is to monitor, whether the academically educated students have the information about the epilepsy problems and primarily, whether they should lend the first aid to the epilepsy patients. The other aim was to find out the awareness of the epileptics of the regime measures connected to their diseases and whether these patients keep these measures. There were set two hypotheses. The first one was related to the awareness of the academically educated students of lending the first aid during and at the end of the epileptic seizures. The other one was focused on the awareness of the epileptics of the regime measures and whether they keep them. Both of the hypotheses were confirmed. Research was made in a quantitative way. The first group was formed of the epileptics older than 18 years, who were monitored in the neurological outpatients' department in the South Bohemia district. The other group was formed of the students of the Pedagogical Faculty of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice.

The education process for nurses in pediatric primary practice and parents of children with epilepsy
PICKOVÁ, Pavlína
The epilepsy occurs in the whole world without exception of age, race, geographical location and socio-economic structure. The incidence of epilepsy depends on age and influences each time the quality of life of the child and its next relatives. Our children and young people perceive, experience and evaluate their life usually from different points of view than adults including the parents. For this reason the main target of the nurse effort should be the education and involving the family into the process of healing. Also the preventive and educational care is connected with this. The target of thesis was to map if the education by the nurse concerning the regimen measures has influence on knowledge extent of the family of an epileptic child. The work focused, as for quantitative examination, on nurses in the surgeries of physicians for the children and young people (pediatrists) in South Bohemia. By the technology of the questionnaire the possibilities of provided primary and secondary care for children with epilepsy by the nurse and the scope of the co-operation of the nurse with the clubs of epileptics were mapped. Within the qualitative examination, based on the talks with parents of the children with epilepsy, the contribution of the knowledge of regimen measures handed on through the education by nurses in the primary pediatric care was examined. It follows from the results of the quantitative examination that the nurses in the outpatient departments of pediatrists do not devote attention to primary or secondary prevention of epilepsy and simultaneously they do not co-operate with the clubs of epileptics. It was impossible to verify all three hypotheses. It followed from the results of the quantitative examination that nurses in outpatient departments of physicians for children and young people do not sufficiently educate the parents of children with epilepsy. If the education by the nurse in the pediatric primary care has been performed, it was a contribution for parents each time. The results of the thesis lead us to reflection concerning the role of the nurse as educator and simultaneously as defender of the client- child in the outpatient departments of pediatrists. The results of the thesis: I would like to address the nurses in primary care, that they should assert themselves more, educate themselves and get involved into the care for children with epilepsy and hereby help to children to improve their childhood in the way necessary for their healthy growth and development.

Public prejudice to epileptics
DOUBKOVÁ, Ivana
Epilepsy, a paroxysmal brain illness, is not a disease that would prevent patients from living their lives fully and from achieving aims they set themselves. Even these days there is a great deal of prejudice and negative feeling when it comes to epilepsy. The present diploma thesis deals with the problem of prejudice and general public opinions towards people suffering from epilepsy in the region of České Budějovice (Budweis), Czechia. The thesis also handles the problem of respondents{\crq} awareness of epilepsy in that region. In the theoretical part of the thesis the author summed up all important knowledge about epilepsy from the medical point of view, focusing on the impact of the illness on each person{\crq}s social life. The objective of the present diploma thesis was to ascertain general public opinions on epileptics in the region of České Budějovice. A sub-goal was to ascertain general public awareness of epilepsy in the aforementioned region. In accordance with the set goals, the following hypotheses were formulated: ``The general public feel negative prejudice against epileptics.{\crq}q ``The general public does not have correct information on epilepsy.{\crq}q Both hypotheses have been confirmed. The research was a quantitative one. The author used the method of questioning, the questionnaire and semantic deferential techniques. Respondents were chosen from general population, aged 18 and older, living in the region of České Budějovice. The research has shown that ordinary people feel negative prejudice and have negative opinions in terms of epileptics. They often assume that epileptics are mentally ill, and not capable of working on a regular basis. Furthermore, the research has proved that the general public do not have correct information on epilepsy, particularly in the field of epileptic fits, first aid and the treatment. Public education ought to be oriented to primary and secondary school pupils and students because only thus young people can adopt positive thinking and opinions on epilepsy, and this may well survive when they grow older and be passed down to other generations.

ŠIŠKOVÁ, Lenka

Problems informedness of family members about offer of nursing to patients suffering from epilepsy
SCHWARZOVÁ, Blanka
The bachelor{\crq}s thesis titled ``The Issue of Family Members´ Awareness of Caring for Patients Suffering from Epilepsy{\crqq} deals with the field of knowledge and information that should be provided to members of families of patients suffering from epilepsy. For the thesis, goals and assumed hypotheses were defined; quantitative research was applied to verify them. Respondents from two selected workplaces took part in the research. The results of the research work show that close relatives of patients have certain basic knowledge of the disease, but the information they receive are not complete, not to say exhausting. There are areas, in which the patients and their family members tend to follow various prejudices and superstitions rather than scientific information, though they are expected to participate in caring for the patients. On the basis of the research, there was an attempt to define areas, in which respondents did not have enough important information, and to concentrate on them within more in-depth education of patients and their relatives.
