The issues of anorexia nervosa in childhood
ROUBÍKOVÁ, Alice
Anorexia Nervosa is being described as an extreme starving. According to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, it is a disease caused by an intentional weight loss, when the patient avoids most of the meals and uses other ways to lose his weight, for example induced vomiting, using laxatives, diuretics, excessive physical activity. Anorexia Nervosa means not only a physical illness, mostly a psychological disease. Anorexia Nervosa starts usually in the childhood, when children are at the age of 14-18, but can appear later as well. It is usual when there come some complicated situations and events and the child can?t deal with them. Sources say that the Anti-Anorexia programs are connected with the nursery and the elementary schools, but unfortunately the reality is quite different. All the same, many of the therapies prepared for the treatment of this disease, are not even being used. And I know this due to my own experiences. In this work I have been trying to chart the foreign and the Czech literature, magazines and newspaper, brochures and other internet-sources professional as well as the general, for their authenticity, and of course, most of them were the book sources. I wrote this thesis named ?The Issue of Anorexia Nervosa in Childhood? using a theoretical form of writing, and it shall introduce you to this illness from its beginning, through its symptoms, prevention, treatment to the nursing care, which is very important as well as it is very difficult. It shall also familiarize you with the opinions and the thoughts of the patients themselves. This work is concerned with the issues of Anorexia Nervosa in children. Anorexia Nervosa, as an eating disorder, is still in spite of the mortality numbers an overlooked problem moving the human society all over the world. And yet, it is right the society of the last years contributing on the rise of the numbers of disordered children, who are younger and younger. They find out, with the speed of the world?s progress, that almost everything they want they can have in a little while, and so the girls longing for the extremely thin body happen to become the ?victims? of this disorder without sensing the danger of their drastic methods to reach their ?goal? as quick as possible leading more and more often to the worse ? death. But it is only if their surroundings don?t strike immediately and the children don?t get the medical care and monitoring, or they themselves don?t ty to find the help, which still happens to be the most rare. The causes of this desease are certainly not common for everyone. It depends on the surroundings of the patients, genetic predispositions ? as for the obesity ? and their mental condition. There are many studies discussing the prevention of Anorexia Nervosa, but it is not so certain which influence of today?s society has the greatest part on causing this disease. I suppose this is one of the signs of the deceitfulness of this disease. The main attention is directed to the medical care for the girls affected by the Anorexia Nervosa itself. After the hospitalization there must be the summary of the objectives of the care set, for example reaching and accepting the healthy body weight, changing the patients? self-evaluation, changing their attitude to food and catering, reorganizing their problematic attitude and behaviour in the following life and taking of a responsible approach for solving their own problems. Then the pharmacotherapy is very important for the patients to get either, antidepressants or neuroleptics, or rarely anxiolytics. Some certain sources state the absolute inefficacy of the pharmacies during the treatment for Anorexia Nervosa.

Informedness of High school and Gymnasium students in Žatec and Louny about eating disorders
PROKŮPKOVÁ, Šárka
This thesis deals with students´ awareness about eating disorders and partly about their eating habits. It is focused mainly on children and early adolescents. The theoretical part describes the basic types of eating disorders, which are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorders, but also the less frequent drunkorexia, bigorexia and orthorexia. It also deals with history, prevalence and incidence of the eating disorders. Risk factors that may affect the development or the course of eating disorders are mentioned as well. The second half of the theoretical part deals with energetic balance, briefly describes the Body Mass Index, health complications, clinical practice, treatment and therapy. The conclusion of the theory section is devoted to the issue of eating disorders in childhood and early adolescence - definition and diagnosis, somatic aspects, therapy, school education and consequences in adulthood. In the practical part, I used the findings obtained from anonymous questionnaires filled in by students of Secondary vocational schools and Grammar schools in Žatec and Louny. The results are presented in well-arranged graphs. The bachelor study shows an insufficient awareness of students, despite they might be directly affected by eating disorders. Prevention is very important and therefore this should not be underestimated in this respect. Children and adolescents at their age often experiment with food and do not realize that this may have fatal consequences for them.
