The wound risks of nurses by injection needle at working process
REIDINGEROVÁ, Alena
To work in a field of medicine is a vocation in which we are helping other people to keep, to find and to maintain their health. In performing her job duties a nurse can be threatened by various risk factors. One of these factors is an injury caused by contaminated needle. This injury can consequently cause to transfer more than twenty different kinds of contagious germs, viruses, bacteria and moulds. Unfortunately there is a general tendency to underestimate and not report such thrusts. This happens despite the fact that every nurse is aware of the possible risks connected with injuries caused by contaminated needle. The injuries of medical workers represent a very relevant and up-to-date topic. And there are a growing body of literature monitoring injuries caused by needle, or by another sharp tool and general impact of it on society. In my Bachelor{\crq}s work I have chosen to address questions of thrust and needle injuries among nurses in the working process. The research included a participation of nurses from standard wards a from intensive care wards in the Hospital České Budějovice, a.s. All the collected information is based on direct observations and interviewing. The obtained data were compiled in the form of quantitative research analyses. In my research I have focused on frequency of needle caused injuries among the nurses. I have investigated whether the nurses know preventive procedures and, if so, they adhere to these safety principles. Particular results obtained from the questionnaire{\crq}s survey collected among the nurses were then compared in relation to different areas - within particular hospital wards, between the standard wards and the wards of intensive care. I have also evaluated the nurses as a whole. My hypothesis concerning the higher frequency of needle injuries among the nurses working in intensive cares wards were confirmed by my research. The number of injured nurses at the intensive cares wards was higher by 16% than among the nurses working in the standard wards. My second hypothesis assuming that nurses know all the preventive precautions regarding the needle injuries were disproved by my research results. The research has shown that nurses do not know the safety proceedings, as only 36% of the nurses were able to describe at least three such proceedings. My third hypothesis concerning nurses{\crq} adherence to the safety principles preventing them from such-like injuries were also questioned in my research. As a matter of fact, only 48% of nurses who know the basic safety proceedings always follow these guidelines. My fourth hypothesis addressing supposed differences (between nurses at intensive care unit and standard units) in adhering to the standard approaches in injecting peripheral venous cannula was also confirmed. The resulting difference between the adherences to the standard procedures between each particular unit is 4%. It is my intention to offer the results of my research to the management of the Hospital České Budějovice, but also to the nurses themselves in order for them to realize the risks of possible injuries caused by needles and to introduce security systems for manipulation with sharp tools used in common practice.

The role of primar nurse in prevention of obezity by children
PULZOVÁ, Alena
Obesity is ranked among the grave world health problems and its prevalence is still increasing. Children's obesity presents dangerous problem not only in advanced countries of the world. The Czech Republic is in the first place in Europe in distribution of children{\crq}s obesity. The fight against this disease is not apparently so difficult. Mostly it is enough only change our lifestyle painlessly, meal plan and do some sport activity. People who suffer from obesity should make an appointment with their doctor and discuss it too. On the other hand, much easier is to predate this disease and exactly in this case is really important the role of a nurse. The theoretic part of this work is focused on the actual state of children{\crq}s obesity. The next part is about division of children age, nutrition at this age, definition of the obesity, its causes and complications. The last part is focused on the role of a nurse in prevention, diagnostic and treatment of this illness. It was applied the form of checklists to quantitative research. Questions were destined for nurses in the primer care in České Budějovice, Strakonice, Prachatice, Jindřichův Hradec, Písek and in other smaller towns. The first aim of this work was find out what awareness of nurses in the primer care in prevention of children{\crq}s obesity is. The next aim was find out if nurses are actively participant in prevention of children{\crq}s obesity. Both of these aims were discharged. The first hypothesis should testify the awareness of nurses in the primer care in prevention of children{\crq}s obesity. The second hypothesis should testify that nurses are not actively participant in prevention of children{\crq}s obesity. Both of these hypothesis were discharged either. I have chosen the work on the topic: ``The role of the primer nurse in prevention of children{\crq}s obesity{\crqq} because recently this topic is very actual and also I am very interested if nurses really try to predate this disease by children.

Prevention of malignant melanoma of derm
ŠŤASTNOVÁ, Lenka
The occurrence of malignant melanoma is rising. This thesis deals with malignant melanoma and its prevention. The quantitative analysis is based on a questionnaire survey. The purpose of this thesis was to detect the differences in the malignant melanoma prevention approach of the medical personnel and the ``ordinary{\crqq} people, and to detect the differences in approach of the people without personal experience with malignant melanoma and the patients with this experience. All the hypotheses were proved. The medical personnel focus more on the prevention than the ``ordinary{\crqq} people (H1). The ``ordinary{\crqq} people sunbathe excessively (H2). Patients are more protective than ``ordinary{\crqq} people (H3). Patients avoid the sunbathing and sunburn (H4). People with personal experience with malignant melanoma visit regularly a dermatologist (H5). Conclusions demonstrate that the approach to the malignant melanoma prevention is influenced by the medical personnel qualification and the patients{\crq} personal experience. Nurses informed only 2 % of the ``ordinary{\crqq} people and 4 % of the patients. It is important to promote the prevention and to raise the importance of nurses.

FELENDOVÁ, Eliška
The issue of burn-out syndrome is a frequently discussed topic at present time. This topic relates to all professions, however, helping people are affected most. Social workers active in social {--} legal protection of children at municipal authorities with extended activities meet difficult life situations of the other people every day. The aim of my thesis is to make a survey of burn-out syndrome incurrence and information rate and of prevention of social workers in field at the social {--} legal protection authority in South Bohemia. The results of the survey revealed that social workers in field have sufficient knowledge of the burn-out syndrome as well as of its prevention. However, they feel subjectively in danger with the burn-out syndrome anyway. Social work in field is considered very stressful and increasing paperwork is the most frequent reason for insufficient direct work with families.

The measure information about the osteoporosis problems by women at the age below forty years
KRÝDLOVÁ, Michaela
Abstract Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease, a disease of the bones of the body, which is characterized by a lowered amount of skeletal minerals, decrease of bone density and a changed microstructure of the bones. The effect of these changes is a lowered quality of skeletal tissues and an elevated risk of bone fractures. This risk, being very high, is directly threatening to the patient. Anybody can suffer from osteoporosis, but there are certain groups, much more at risk. The group most often affected by osteoporosis, are women in post-climacteric period of life, i.e. several years past their climacterium. The main factors causing this disease are age, gender, genetics, lack of physical activity, malnourishment, use of harmful substances (smoking, coffee, alcohol), use of some medications, certain endocrinological diseases and diseases of the digestive system, etc. Fundamental significance for prevention and treatment is an adjustment of life-style with sufficient physical activity, correct nutrition, avoiding of harmful substances such as smoking, alcohol and coffee. Regular use of vitamins and minerals as well as regular check-ups may help to prevent the disease. For this study a questionnaire was chosen for data collecting. The questionnaire created for this work included 17 closed and 8 semi-open questions. The total number of 120 questionnaires were distributed, of these 113 were returned, of which 12 were excluded for incompletelesness. The recovery of questionnaires was calculated to 84.2%. The researched group included 101 women between ages 18{--}40 from České Budějovice. The aim of the bachelor work has been accomplished. Hypothesis H1 was proved and H2 disproved. The results will be used as a basis for a seminar about problems with osteoporosis and its prevention intended for non-professionals.

Is pregnancy a disease?
KOUPALOVÁ, Martina
Pregnancy is a natural period in life of a woman. A woman usually becomes pregnant when being healthy and in a good psychical state, and looking forward to a positive (i.e. good) result together with her family. The Czech idiom ``a woman is in a different state{\crqq} is both fitting and incorrect. It is correct, as far as the physical and psychical changes affecting the pregnant woman are concerned; however, the idiom does not describe the degree and the dynamics of the changes. Pregnancy is not a state. It is a special process which, despite being physiological, is sometimes considered to be rather a disease, particularly when the physiological changes to the mother{\crq}s organism that accompany her pregnancy become highlighted. The objective of this thesis was to ascertain what the attitude of women themselves to their physiological pregnancy was. At the beginning, three hypotheses were determined. The first hypothesis is: ``Pregnant women feel manifestations of physiological changes of their organisms.{\crqq} The second hypothesis is: ``Pregnant women are sufficiently aware of the methods how to prevent or mitigate negative manifestations of pregnancy changes (that accompany pregnancy with a physiological course).{\crqq} The third hypothesis is: ``Pregnant women do not understand pregnancy with a physiological course as a disease.{\crqq} The first hypothesis was confirmed by the research {--} women understand physiological changes of the mother{\crq}s organism and their manifestations. The second hypothesis was also confirmed {--} the research revealed that pregnant women have sufficient information how to prevent or mitigate negative manifestations of physiological changes of the mother{\crq}s organism. Also the third hypothesis was confirmed {--} pregnant women really do not understand their pregnancy with a physiological course as a disease. The research was conducted following the quantitative method using questionnaires. I selected this method since it provides a large number of empirical data in a relatively short period of time while allowing the informants to remain anonymous. The questionnaires were distributed in gynaecological surgeries in České Budějovice and at the gynaecological-midwifery outpatient clinic in Tábor in February and March 2007. The total of 108 filled-in questionnaires was processed. The thesis will be utilized within the scope of education at the University of South Bohemia and will be published in the Internet. Pregnant women do not understand physiological pregnancy as a disease, even despite negative manifestations of physiological changes of the mother{\crq}s organism. This is a pleasing result of my thesis. Any pregnancy may become a risky or even a pathological process (for this reason, it is advisable to undertake the basic prenatal care), but if this is not the case, then pregnancy should be one of the most beautiful and happiest periods in the life of a woman and she should enjoy and understand it this way.
