How Much Is the Health of the Elderly in the Czech Republic
LEŠTINOVÁ, Jana
How Much Is the Health of the Elderly in the Czech Republic The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of the elderly and is focused above all on one specific aspect of this population group - on necessary, high costs of medicines, expenses spent on examinations by specialists, treatment at the medical emergency or high costs spent on hospitalization. The thesis called. How Much Is the Health of the Elderly in the Czech Republic summarizes the whole range of these aspects. This issue is a current topic because of demographic trends in the Czech Republic, where the number of the elderly has been increasing and will increase in future. Thus, potentially ill or chronically ill people who are dependent on health care and medical treatment. Another aspect of this issue is ongoing pension and healthcare reforms that result in further and more extent financial impacts on this low-income group of population. The work was divided into two basic parts. The theoretical part introduces the issue of health, health of the elderly and their specific needs. The practical part presents my own research carried out on the group of the elderly who live in their own homes or in the Care House in Třeboň. The main criterion was age (65 and more) and the place of residence (Třeboň and its surroundings).The method of quantitative research a questionnaire were applied. The data were collected by means of questioning and by the method of an anonymous questionnaire. The research sample consisted of 105 respondents. The objective was to find out whether the financial costs and expenses of the elderly living in their own homes differ from those of the elderly living in the Care House in Třeboň, whether the costs differ according to sex and whether the elderly spend more on nutritional supplements or on the medicines prescribed to them. I revealed by the research, among others, that despite the expectations, the elderly spend more financial means on necessary medicines, prescribed by a specialist which they have to take due to their health condition, than on nutritional supplements that are accompanied by massive advertising. In connection with incomes of the elderly I therefore believe, that the elderly do not buy the supplements in bulk due to the lack of financial means. I would like to address some research outputs in detail within the thesis, since this issue will involve an increasing number of people and in the meantime some key inputs such as the price of medicines, the price of hospital stay, examination fee etc. will change.

Health policy a state and its media image
ŠŮSOVÁ, Zuzana
Health policy comprises a sum of political activities affecting quality of life and health of people and social groups. The health policy exceeds activities of health-service institutions and covers intended manners of the public, private, public and voluntary organisations and individuals who impact the health. Among them e.g. WHO, one of the biggest and most important specialised institutions of UN. The health policy concentrates on personal, environmental and socioeconomic impact on health and on complicated and complex providing of health care. The long-range strategy of health improvement of the population of the Czech Republic ``Health for Everyone in the 21st Century{\crqq} is a rational and well structured model of complex societal care of health and its development; created by teams of prominent world experts in health policy and economics. In the Czech Republic the Health 21 programme has been applied as the National Action Plan on Health and Environment. Community programmes focused mainly on mapping of the situation in the Czech Republic and consequent continuing prevention. The single programmes are Healthy Town, Healthy School, Healthy Company and Healthy Hospital. Media represent both more and more important form of social, political and cultural life of present societies and condition of economic successfulness of many branches and their role of informant, vehicle of information and public opinion maker can be absolutely key element of propagation and explaining of health policy aspects.

Healthy Cities Project
HLUŠKOVÁ, Marie
Human life and maintainable advancement are still more combined and discusseable.Thus in this days much more attention is beeing concerntrated at the project titled as Healthy town.Under this title one can imagine a lot of its meanings.Someone might take it as injuries,others as clean parks, whereby the kids could play without any concern.As you notice, everyone under the title Healthy town is taking it differently, but altogerther it gives the same meaning as Healthy town. I have choosen this theme for its actuallity.This project Healthy town is completely dealing with the problems of the inhabitants,but does not forget for theire responsibilities and allows an active dialog amongst them and its leadership of the town.We should not forget, that healthy towns have got well worked out methods of public administration, which is well valued by the EU.This fact helps in requirements for grants from EU which is a privilege for healthy towns,which is the reality of today. In the theoritical part of the corrent state I have hilghlited the basic information of the WHO and its communual project Healthy town, which I have aquired through out my studies from special literatures, internet references,magayines,which I have listed in the used sources. In the practical part of the research I have added the information of the findings, which I have aquired wiith the help of my own findings.Initially I have conducted the secondary data analysis, which I have obtained from the database of the national net of healthy towns in CZ, Association of healthy towns in SR,of the Czech statistical office and Slovakian statistical office. Since the project Healthy town is part of the communal project is partially formed induvidually.As a result of this I have refered in the practical part of this work two case studyies of healthy towns,which serves as an exemplary of this project.
