Perceptions of health care in South Bohemia
KRÁTKÁ, Edita
This thesis deals with the perceptions of health care in healthcare facilities in South Bohemia as seen by the public. The theoretical part defines health care and health; it also informs about the quality of health care and its evaluation. It deals with health services, healthcare policy and reforms in this sector. It describes the current legislation, part which is international treaties or laws. As an example of a treaty, the thesis mentions Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and the Dignity of the Human Being with regard to the application of biology and medicine, or the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms. The section about laws mentions particularly Act No. 20/1966 Coll. on Public Health Care. In protecting the rights of patients, the Code of Patients? Rights plays an important role in. An essential part of theory is also the system of healthcare facilities, health services, healthcare professionals and the rights and obligations of various actors in the provision of health care. The objective of the thesis was to map client satisfaction with health care provided in healthcare facilities of South Bohemia. The research part, preceded by a preliminary study, was conducted by means of a quantitative questionnaire survey. The basic research group consisted of persons from the general public living in South Bohemia. In the end, two out of three hypotheses were conformed. They are: (1) health care in South Bohemia was perceived positively by the clients of healthcare facilities and (2) women perceive health care in South Bohemia more critically than men. The third hypothesis, the one that was not confirmed, showed that the clients of healthcare facilities in South Bohemia have not noticed any improvement of health care during the last five years. With regard to the outcome of the third hypothesis, a question can be brought forward as to whether health care is developing in the right direction. Therefore, it would be appropriate to pay more attention to this issue. The results can be published in professional journals and they can serve as inspiration for healthcare professionals. They may also contribute to public awareness of health care and health services in South Bohemia.

Regulatory fees in healthcare from the perspective of the public
KOLLÁROVÁ, Iva
Part of the Czech healthcare system is public health insurance and health care is paid to beneficiaries from its funds. From 1.1.2008 a new system of regulatory fees and annual protective limit forms its part. Regulatory fees were introduced by Act No. 261/2007 Coll. about stabilizing public budgets, which amended many laws, in this case also the Act No. 48/1997 Coll., about public health insurance. The reason for their introduction should be reduction of inefficiency of health care and, consequently, reduction of health care costs, reduction of misuse of health services, as well as increase in revenues of medical facilities. Funds saved should be used to improve medical care, to treat sick people and to finance expensive medical services. The objective of my thesis was to make a survey of public opinion on the introduction of regulatory fees. In the theoretical part I briefly described basic concepts relating to public health service, health policy, insurance and in detail I mentioned functioning of regulatory fees and the annual protection limit. In the practical part I used quantitative research, method of interviewing, data collection was performed using the questionnaire technique and then also secondary analysis of data. For the research section one statistical sample was established {--} the public of South Bohemia. Based on available literature I stated 2 hypotheses, both of which were confirmed by the research. Research pointed at the diversity of views and perception of regulatory fees among citizens. Citizens´ awareness certainly also affects the issue of regulatory fees, and the awareness, as revealed in the survey, has been improving compared to previous years. Regulatory fees in health care in the Czech Republic have become a most discussed topic. But this step is only the first step, unfortunately still unpopular with many people, and it should lead to step-by-step implementation of planned changes in health care. I think that compared to previous years an increasing number of citizens understand the purpose of regulatory fees and they realize that modern medicine is very expensive and that from the current health insurance system it is not always possible to grant all care to everyone. In my opinion, the introduction of regulatory fees is a very important step for our health care, but it will be necessary to improve some legal details and gain greater public trust so that the purpose that these fees should have would be reached. The thesis could serve as an information brochure, study material, or respondents´ views and the research findings could be used in other studies for comparison.

Ethic principles in work of a nurse and a social worker - deuces and differences
BARTIZALOVÁ, Alice
Abstract Ethical principles in the work of nurse and social worker {--} concordances and differences Social and health care includes certain values that should be observed by social workers and nurses. Particular personality features and skills each professional worker should have are necessary to observe them. They include e.g. empathy, cooperation ability, professionalism etc. Those features lead to the relationship to ethical codes and observance of the principles contained in them. Ethical principles of health and social care are very important for correct development of the social worker-client and nurse-patient relationships. The goal of the research was to ascertain what ethical principles are included in ethical codes of social workers and nurses. It was investigated which principles were identical and which are different and whether such different principles could be used in the other profession. The goal was also to find out the awareness of social workers and nurses on ethical codes, their contents, on the applicability into practice and last but not least also the opinion on the ethical code of the other profession. The results of both parts of the research were compared to each other. Qualitative research, method of document analysis and questioning in form of semi-controlled interviews were used to achieve the results. The purpose of this work was to detect identical and different principles of social and health care. Several common principles observed identically both by social workers and by nurses were detected. The interview part showed different principles or principles included only in the code of one profession. Some different principles would be applicable for the other profession. This work points out what the view of social workers and nurses on those principles is. Some of their views were identical, some answers were completely individual. The goal of the work was met. More detailed analysis of documents and interviews with a greater number of respondents would be needed to confirm or disprove the hypotheses expressed in the Discussion part.
