The goal of this thesis is to collect the findings of occupational therapists and explain how occupational therapy impacts school results. The theoretical part acquaints laymen with the particulars of working as an occupational therapist and suggests the importance of occupational therapy. Dialogue and direct unstructured observation are used as research methods. This is a qualitative survey. Interviews focused mainly on the results of occupational therapy were conducted with professional occupational therapists as a part of the research. Four case studies oriented on younger children were fashioned next. Those studies combined occupational therapy and its influence with school results in children in Primary School. Interviews with occupational therapists, pedagogues and mothers were also part of the case studies. Based on our findings, occupational therapy can be acknowledged as very advantageous therapy with significant impact on school results in children in Primary School. Progress is especially obvious in fine motor skills, which are practised during occupational therapy, and its regular exercising improves the proficiency in children, especially while writing, drawing, painting or doing cut outs. Occupational therapy helps clients improve skills they find difficult to master and it should become an integral part of caring for mentally or physically handicapped children and contribute to achieving better school results.

The doctor and nurse cooperation in the center for patients undergoing a principal joint aloplasty
RAZIMOVÁ, Lada
Motoric system diseases belong to the most frequent ones in the present days. All age categories are affected. Congenital defects are included and also injuries, inflammations, degenerative illnesses and others. In the Czech republic are many centers gathering patients with the same diseases. However the centers for orthopedic patients are missing. The dissertation is divided into a theoretic and empiric parts. The theoretic one is focused generally on problems with joint replacements, rehabilitation and relation between a medic and a patient. The dissertation was targeted on: 1. To verify if the informing about the subsequent postop nursing care provided in the center for patients undergoing aloplasty comes up to a patient?s expectations and fulfils their needs. 2. To find out if hospital nurses perceive the difference in the patient engagement in the nursing care according to if he had visited the center before or not. 3. To reveal potential problems in the center running from the patient, nurse and doctor point of view. The research part of the dissertation was implemented with a combination of both qualitative and quantitative survey. For quantitative survey was chosen a method of questioning with a form technique for patients (after a hip or a knee aloplasty) in the Czech republic and Austria and also for nurses working in the orthopedic department and intensive care unit in the Pelhřimov hospital. Three hypotheses were established. 1. The given nursing care informations provided in the center for patients undergoing aloplasties fulfil the patient?s needs. 2. The hospital nurses assess a significant difference in the patient?s collaboration between those who had visited the center before and who had not. 3. In the center for patients waiting for aloplasty daily running there exist problems from the nurse?s point of view. As for the qualitative part of survey a method of questioning with the technique of a semistructured dialog with open questions was used. The research file was created by patients after principal joints aloplasties. In this part we have tried to answer three main questions. 1. What is the relationship between both hospital and the center nurse activities and the patient?s contentment in the sphere of his needs? 2. What sorts of informations for the patients in the center are missing? 3. The patients evaluate the informations provided in the center as orientational or as significant for easier postop care managing? The results of the research survey were analysed and taken in schemes. Patients suffer from disturbing their both physical and psychological needs and so the goal of collaboration is a satisfied and fully informed patient. From the results it is apparent that a nurse in the center closely cooperates with a hospital nurse. The survey revealed that the patients in the center are missing no informations. The patients are prepared for the operation, orient themselves in the related problems know what comes with the rehabilitation as an important part of the postop care. To be concluded: patients are prepared for easier postop care managing. On the basis of analysis of respondent?s answers it was found that the patients undergoing a principal joint aloplasty are sufficiently informed. Although hospital nurses and doctors sense the difference between a patient who had visited the center before and who had not the stimulus for subsequent survey could be how the patients perceive the differentness of info provided within the center and out of it. The survey results could be a stimulus for establishing new centers not only within Vysočina but also in Austria. In the relation with the dissertation results and on the basis of info provided in the center when the patients assessed the info as sufficient for them an informing prospectus was created. The dissertation could serve as an informational material for students not only in the nursing profession.

Position of occupational therapy in System of Rehabilitation
PULKERTOVÁ, Jindřiška
Rehabilitation is generally understood as a discipline solving mainly problems connected with motor system. However, the concept of rehabilitation is much larger. In fact, rehabilitation is the all-society system where restoration of moving functions is only one of goals on the way to one{\crq}s reintegration into society. There are a lot of professions within this system participating in the process. Occupational therapy is one of them. The main goal of the dissertation is to introduce occupational therapy as a profession, and highlight its range and position in the system of rehabilitation. The dissertation answers the question on what occupational therapy can offer to the people in need of rehabilitation and investigates wether and how occupational therapy intervention can contribute to the rehabilitation proccess. Further more, the dissertation compares the roles of the profession in Czech Republic and Europe and uses the findings to formulate new hypothesis which can be used for a future research. The main approach of our dissertation is qualitative investigation. We chose the type of case study and participant observation. All that was completed with technique of secondary data analysis. In case studies and according to the experience from the London hospital has been discovered that occupational therapy deals with all components participating in execution of human activities. Occupational therapy assesses and provides interventions to improve sensomotoric, cognitive and psychosocial functions. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life. The information obtained from trainee-ship on the Department of Occupational Therapy in London and data has charted and clarified position of occupational therapy. Main difference is in competency of the professionals. In Czech Republic competency are lower and more limited compared to the rest of Europe. Additionally, the number of occupational therapists is lower in our country than is an average in Europe. On the base of obtained information the new hypothesis has been made thereby both goals have been met.
