Possibility interference interest in vaccination against curse encephalitic in focus infection
VOBORSKÁ, Eliška
This diploma thesis addresses the topic of informing people of tick-borne encephalitis and vaccination against this disease. Our diploma thesis has four objectives in total. The first objective was to ascertain how many of the respondents were vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis. The second and the third objectives were to demonstrate the reasons of vaccinated and unvaccinated respondents. The fourth objective was to analyze the attitudes of the respondents to publicization of the tick-borne encephalitis issue. As an infection with the natural focus, the disease is caused by a tick-borne encephalitis virus belonging among flaviviruses. The carrier is a sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus). Ticks live as parasites on reservoir animals, such as small rodents, ungulates and domestic animals. The clinical picture of the disease has mostly two stages and the symptomatologic form affects in particular adults and seniors. South Bohemia is a significant focus of tick-borne encephalitis with the sickness rate considerably exceeding the average of the Czech Republic. The most efficient prevention of the disease is vaccination. Two vaccines have been registered in the Czech Republic at present, namely FSME-Immun of Baxter and Encepur of Novartis. Both the vaccines are intended for children from 1 year of age. The basic vaccination scheme consists of 3 doses and the vaccinated person needs to be revaccinated every 3-5 years. It follows from the questionnaire research that 49 % of the total number of 136 respondents are vaccinated. As expected, the most frequent reason for vaccination (65 %) is the fear of becoming infected with tick-borne encephalitis. Other reasons are the interventions of the surrounding persons persuading the person to become vaccinated (19 %) and the financial contribution of the health insurance company or the employer (16 %). 35 % of the unvaccinated respondents do not plan to become vaccinated in the future. Approximately 40 % of the unvaccinated respondents feel that they do not need the vaccination or do not trust vaccination as such. 42 % of the unvaccinated persons would agree to vaccination if they received a financial contribution of the health insurance company or the employer, but nothing at all would convince 35 % of the unvaccinated respondents. It follows from the research that most respondents are satisfied with the quantity and the content of the information about tick-borne encephalitis. They do not think that anything should be changed in the system of informing of the disease. This thesis contributes to monitoring the trends in thinking of the public, and will eventuate in the finding which way the education of people about tick-borne encephalitis should be directed.

Analysis of interest of medical workers in vaccination against influenza in the hospital Rudolfa and Stefanie in Benešov.
ZEMANOVÁ, Irena
This diploma thesis is focused on analyzing the interest of health professionals in vaccination against influenza in the Hospital of Rudolf and Stefanie in Benešov. The thesis is divided into a theoretical part and an empirical part. The theoretical part processes, in a complex way, the available knowledge about the history of influenza epidemiology and disease prevention with the emphasis on vaccination. The processing of this part used monographic publications, scientific articles from professional journals and electronic resources. In the empirical part, the opinions and attitudes of health workers to vaccination against influenza were analyzed. The research group consisted of health professionals from the Hospital of Rudolf and Stefanie in Benešov. In my thesis, I set two objectives. The first objective was to map the interest of health professionals in vaccination against influenza. The other objective was to find the main reason for the lack of interest in such vaccination. This part was processed using quantitative research. Using charts, I evaluated statistically the data which was obtained in a questionnaire survey. At the end of this section, the obtained results were discussed and some measures were proposed. The main proposal to address the identified deficiencies is to train health professionals and inform them about potential health consequences of influenza for their patients and for themselves.

Vaccination Rate of Adults against Tick-borne Meningoencephalitis in České Budějovice
VOBORSKÁ, Eliška
The aim of this thesis was to map vaccination rate against tick-borne encephalitis in adults in the town of České Budějovice, the town in the focus of infection. Tick-borne encephalitis is a very malign and dangerous neurodegenerative disease. At the beginning there appear only inconspicuous flu-like symptoms. It is transmitted either by infected ticks or by eating products made from non-pasteurized milk of infected animals (goats, sheep). People living in areas with higher occurrence of ticks infected by one of the diseases (tick-borne encephalitis, borreliosis, ehrlichiois) should pay attention to prevention. In case of tick-borne encephalitis vaccination is possible. It is recommended during winter months, when ticks are not active. This precaution is done in cold weather so that in spring when ticks are active, the body has sufficient amount of antibodies against tick-borne encephalitis. During warm months it is possible to apply accelerated scheme of vaccination so that the body produces antibodies quicker, however, their survival is rather shorter. My research was carried out by means of questionnaires which were filled in by the group of randomly chosen inhabitants of České Budějovice. The form of processing was the method of quantitative research. The questionnaires were processed by the form of descriptive study. Total number of returned questionnaires was 541 (77%). The generation until 29 (68%) had the highest distribution; this age category has the highest vaccination rate (56%). The total proportion of vaccinated against non-vaccinated is 49% to 51 %. On the contrary, the lowest vaccination rate is in generations of 70 years old and older people, where 1 of 18 is vaccinated (5.5 %). In women, who created 76 % of examined sample, the vaccination rate makes up 53 % and in men, who took 24 %, there were 35 % vaccinated. The next aim of my thesis was to monitor attitudes of inhabitants to vaccination. We found out that in non-vaccinated inhabitants the main reason was opinion that vaccination is not necessary (43 %), the next was finance (20%) and further some other reasons, for example laziness. In vaccinated inhabitants the most common reason was the fear of infection and further persuasion by another person (24 %). The third place is occupied by the stay in risky environment (18 %).

Influenza and its etiological agens - virus of many faces
KUČEROVÁ, Olga
This thesis deals with the problem of influenza and other respiratory infections. Influenza is one of the most common infectious diseases, which affect 10 % of population each year and during pandemics even 40-50 %. It is often mistaken with common respiratory infections, which mostly have a mild course. This thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. Theoretical part describes the history of influenza and mentions previous pandemics of flu. Further it contains epidemiological characteristics of influenza, deals with vaccination against this disease and we can also find there the explanation of terms such as epidemics, pandemics or between pandemic periods. The thesis contains main differences between influenza and other respiratory infections. The last chapter is composed of brief information of bird flu. In practical part the following aim and hypotheses were stated. The aim of the thesis was to find out the South Moravian region inhabitants´ informedness of differences between influenza and other respiratory infections. I stated two hypotheses. The first hypothesis presumes that the population is interested in the problem of respiratory infections and influenza. The second hypothesis reads: Population does not have true information of differences between influenza and other respiratory infections. To process this thesis I used quantitative research which was carried out by the method of questioning using the questionnaires. It is the most used means of data collection because it enables to provide a big amount of empirical data in a relatively short time. The questionnaire contained 18 questions. I distributed 130 questionnaires, but I could include only 109 complete questionnaires in the research. All results were processed in the form of graphs. After data evaluation both my hypotheses were proved. First hypothesis proved that people are interested in given problem; however women are more interested than men. The second hypothesis was also proved. The research proved unfamiliarity with the differences between influenza and other respiratory infections.

Epidemiological problem of herpetic infections
BERÁNKOVÁ, Jana
The aim of the thesis is to characterise particular viruses or perhaps define their epidemiological importance and prospects of prevention. The work deals with an overwiew and characteristics of herpetic viruses. Common characteristics is compiled and some possible preventive measures are given. Some of them are analysed in particular, e.g.vaccination against varicella virus. The empiric part of the work contains a list of all herpetic diseases reportes in the regions of South Bohemia and Karlovy Vary between 2002 and 2006 so we can match data of two different regions of the Czech Republic. As there are differences in the number of those diseases the situation is analysed in details. I also present possible reasons for fewer reports in the region of Karlovy Vary and some measures for improving the situation. A final summary of herpetic viruses from a high-quality basis for understanding herpetic problems. It can also be used a a source material for further theses or education.

Vaccination in the face of healthy lifestyle
MERKLOVÁ, Simona
In my bachelor study I am engaged in a connection between a vaccination and a health lifestyle. In a theoretical part I devote to the obligatory vaccination and its importance for human health. Further I think about a question, if the vaccination is safe and if it is all right that the vaccination is obligatory. I describe also diseases, which can threaten us, if we are not immunized. In a practical part I concentrate on college students with a specialization called Education into health and their relation to the vaccanation. I am interested mainly in their knowledge of this problem and I want to know their opinion on the vaccanation.
