Vyhlídková, Petra ; Reichel, Jiří (advisor) ; Růžanská, Hana (referee)
Presented work analyzes the influence of educational attainment in comparison with other factors that enable women on maternity or parental leave in the Czech Republic to actively participate in the labour market using flexible working arrangements. There are subjective and objective factors that may influence decisions of women active in the labour market. The work describes in detail following: selected tools of the social politics, cultural influence, preferences of individual women, need of another income in the household or division of labour with the partner. These influences are examined on examples of particular women using a method of semistructured interviews in qualitative survey. This work is compared with statistical data and relevant results of existing surveys. An assumption of presented work is the fact, that women with a higher education are better equipped to use possible options of available flexible working arrangements. The results of this survey confirm the assumption to a certain level, however it points also to other factors that are at least of the same importance as the level of attained education.

The influence of stress in dialyzed patients of the level and role the nurse in this issue
JANOUŠKOVÁ, Jaroslava
Stress and stressful situations influence us throughout our whole lives. Great and longterm stress can cause many health complications. Dialysis alone is a great stress in dialyzed patients. To every day stress causing agents a number of restrictions is added in connection with dialysis. Especially the change of lifestyle has an impact on private life and the life of the whole family. Dialyzed patients suffer from an increased level of stress permanently. The nurse plays in important role in these situations as she gets in close contact with the patient. She can by means of communication and her attitude influence the process of treatment and the quality of the patient's life. The main goal of the research survey was to determine the influence of stress in dialyzed patients, what role the nurse plays in this issue, the importance of her attitude to dialyzed patients and whether the stress has also an impact on nurses. Qualitative research method was applied. Non-standardized interview with randomly chosen patients and nurses from the same hemodialysis center. The interviews were prepared in case reports. The research has shown that dialysis is a stress for patients and it influences to a certain degree their private lives as it has become an indispensable part of their lives for a long time. The quality of life of dialyzed patients is influenced not only by the process of treatment but also the family background and the attitude of nurses. A nurse is considered by most patients indispensable. The nurses are, according to patients, compliant, emphatic and sensitive. The research has further shown that nurses working with these patients are also influenced by their stress. Patients tend to pass their problems they do not what to deal with on their own on nurses and they expect help, which is an enormous stress on nurses as they realize dialysis is for these patients a lifelong issue. In order to provide quality care for dialyzed patients, it is necessary nurses stay emotionally uninvolved and still maintain a good feeling from a well done work. A self-possessed nurse can help a patient more that a workplace with top equipment and the best experts.
