Students of 1st and 2nd class of basic school - awareness of dog ethology.
PETŘÍKOVÁ, Šárka
ABSTRACT Nowadays, more and more often we hear about children who are attacked by dogs. The media constantly inform us about fighting breeds and their attacks on humans. Number of dogs in the household significantly increases and posibility of injury of the child by our four-legged partner is increasing too. This situation requires a solution. Media accused of assaulting an animal, unfortunately very often the culprit is not even a dog or child. Thesis on ?The awareness of pupils of first and second class ofthe first level of basic schools on the ethology of dogs ? is based on the author's practical experience with objective reality. The author herself, which is devoted to dogs more than 15 years, also tried to capture the degree of knowledge of school age children on the natural behavior of our four-legged domestic ?pets?. Through her own research, conducted by standardized questionnaires at selected basic schools in the South Bohemia region (in total 284 respondents) reveals the primary mistakes committed by these children in contact with their own or strange dog. The theoretical part is devoted to common cohabitation of children (or people) and dogs. Various chapters are focused on the historical evolution of domestic dog, the coexistence of humans and dogs, and communication sinals, which they use to interact among themselvest, but also on the impact of a dog on the psyche of the child. The research revealed significant gaps in knowledge regarding children's innate behavior of the dog. For this reason children can not adequately respond to a signal that is sent by a dog, so there can arise a hazardous situation between them. At the end of thesis the author proposes a practical solution that could serve as a basic for a new educational program aimed at preventiv injuries caused by dogs attack the children.

Hormonal treatment in women, prejudice and awareness
BUDÍNOVÁ, Eva
Hormonal treatment is an essential component in treatment of a modern woman. But yet it is disputed and perceived negatively in women owing to prejudice and poor awareness of the issue. The lack of information or information obtained from non-professional sources cause prejudice and the negative perception that is difficult to refute. The data were collected using a quantitative as well as qualitative examination. The quantitative research was made through an anonymous questionnaire in the gynecologist{\crq}s office of MUDr. Koubková in Tábor. The questionnaire gathered identification data and general knowledge on hormone therapy. 110 questionnaires were handed out and 95 were included in the questionnaire. The qualitative examination was carried out in the form of an interview with the nurses from the gynecologists´ offices in Tábor. The thesis gives a survey of the awareness of treatment and the reasons for its refusing, which was its main target. The five single goals that had been set were accomplished by the research results. Five hypotheses were stated. The first, second and third hypotheses were to confirm the premise that women tend to have a negative attitude towards hormonal treatment and they refuse hormonal treatment on account of prejudice. These hypotheses were confirmed. The negative attitudes and hormonal treatment refusal stem from the lack of information or the information obtained from wrong sources. Prejudice is caused by inaccurate information obtained from non-professionals. The fourth and fifth hypotheses were to confirm the presumption that highly educated women have a more positive approach to hormonal treatment than those with basic education, and that the education level has an influence on the attitude towards hormonal treatment, and that women of a lower age are more open to hormonal treatment than middle-aged or elderly women. These hypotheses were not confirmed. Four hypotheses were determined. Questions 1 and 2 examined the women{\crq}s problem taking hormone therapy. Questions 3 and 4 investigated the way a nurse participates in giving information on hormone therapy in the gynecologist{\crq}s office and the way this shortage of information can be made up. All of the questions were answered by the results of the research. The results of the research show that women, while seeking information, address their questions to physicians, but also to their friends, or check the Internet for information. Those who influence their decision making in the respect of hormonal treatment are their partners, friends, media and others. Women confirmed that they have lack of information and are interested in obtaining more information about hormonal treatment. Prejudice and the negative attitude to hormonal treatment originate from lack of information. Hormonal treatment is an indispensable part of the care for a modern healthy woman. It is necessary for women to have access to all the information available to prevent them from the influence of incorrect information and prejudice. The results of the research will be used to make health care personnel familiar with the questions of unawareness and the influence of prejudice on women so that the situation could improve in this respect.

The role of nurse about information of patients in ambulantion care in Hospital Ceske Budejovice
POSEKANÁ, Věra
Communication is an essential part of provided nursing and medical care. Nurses, who are able to communicate efficiently, can easier initiate changes in patients and these changes lead to the support of their health. Patients´ awareness is a current problem and a weak part of medical care. Nurses should provide information clearly, patiently and reasonably with respect to the circumstances and patient{\crq}s state. Despite the fact that the patient spends in the ambulatory department only for a short period of time and the nurse has only limited possibilities. More stress should be put on the content of information, which is provided to the patient after examination or before going home. Changes which would help improve outpatient care regard the whole system of medical care. There are limited possibilities how to solve this problem, but if every nurse were able to communicate correctly with the patient, eventually with his or her relatives, this might help the patient to overcome the first fright, anxiety or uncertainty. The objective of this Bachelor{\crq}s thesis was to find whether the nurse has sufficient time and possibilities to inform the patient according to the needs and current status in the area of ambulatory care. The second objective was to find whether patients feel that they are given necessary amount of information, which is necessary for success of the nursing care. In the research three hypotheses have been set: H1: The nurse in the ambulatory care does not have enough time to educate patient {--} has been verified; H2: The nurse in the ambulatory care does not have sufficient space to educate the patient {--} has been verified; H3: Patients would welcome more additional information from the nurse in the ambulatory department {--} has not been verified. The quantitative research was performed in a form data collection through the questionnaire. The objectives of this thesis were fulfilled. The research was made at Hospital in České Budějovice at ambulatory wards of selected departments. The results can provide information about satisfaction and dissatisfaction of patients and nurses with the current situation to the hospital{\crq}s management and can be used as a support for changes or improvements in particular departments.

Problem of knowledge of a patient indicated for colonoscopy
ČERNÁ, Miroslava
The colonoscopic examination is no only a diagnostic method, but also a therapeutic method applied in gastroenterology. The colonoscopic examination is performed by the flexible endoscope and it is possible to examine the whole mucous membrane of the large intestine and to perform here also minor surgical operations. The necessity for the colonoscopic examination is as perfect as possible defecation of intestines, however, also this depends on the sufficient knowledge of the patient of the examination performance and preparation. This examination is quite stressing and strenuous for the patients. The target of the thesis was to find out the difference in knowledge of clients indicated for colonoscopy within hospitalization and clients coming as outpatients. 2 hypotheses were postulated: Hypothesis 1: {\clqq}The scope of information of dietary measures before colonoscopy provided to hospitalized clients is different than the scope of information provided to ambulatory clients``. The hypothesis 2: {\clqq}The scope of information about the procedure of the examination before the colonoscopy provided to hospitalized clients is different than the scope of information provided to ambulatory clients``. The method of questioning - technology of a questionnaire was applied to the collection of data. The questionnaire was completely anonymous and was determined for patients indicated to colonoscopic examination. The questionnaire included 22 closed and half-closed questions. 130 questionnaires were distributed in the gastro-enterologic ward in the Hospital of České Budějovice a.s. After returning the questionnaires and elimination of the incompletely filled in and empty questionnaires, the examined group consisted of 106 respondents, thereof 53 were ambulatory respondents and 53 hospitalized respondents. The target of the thesis was achieved. It followed from the results that both hypotheses were confirmed, there is really a certain difference in knowledge before the colonoscopic examination between the ambulatory and hospitalized respondents. In both hypotheses, the ambulatory respondents were informed better. This bachelor´s thesis points out the importance of giving the information to the patients and of co-operation between the patient, nurse and physician. To improve the knowledge of patients indicated for colonoscopy I created the draft of a leaflet, summarizing information the patient should know before this examination. The results of this thesis will be provided to the head and management of gastro-enterologic ward of the Hospital České Budějovice a.s. Its topic could be of help to the medical staff in better informing the patients.

Comprehensive care of person with Alzheimer's disease
ŘEHOŘOVÁ, Andrea
The thesis deals with the comprehensive care for a person with Alzheimer`s disease. As the population gets old, also the number of people with Alzheimer{\crq}s disease has been growing. Pursuant the survey, approx. 5 % population in the age of 65 years suffers from the middle up to high degree of dementia; thereof the Alzheimer{\crq}s disease represents 50{--}60 %. Its frequency roughly doubles every five years. Alzheimer{\crq}s disease is approximately the fourth most frequent cause of all the death cases. The main goals is to find out the extent of knowledge of lay public about Alzheimer{\crq}s disease in the South Bohemian region. Hereby we mean the information about the care, possibilities of healing, symptoms and prevention of Alzheimer{\crq}s disease. In connection with these goals the H1 hypothesis was postulated: The lay public was informed of Alzheimer{\crq}s disease. For achieving the given goal, the method of questioning, the technology of the questionnaire was used. 280 questionnaires were distributed among the persons older than 18 years and they were returned in 86 %. In total, 241 questionnaires were filled in, thereof 230 were filled in correctly and also evaluated. As the most important questions for confirming or not confirming the hypothesis the author determined questions concerning the knowledge of the AD treatment, AD symptoms, knowledge of facilities, consulting centre as well as other activities for the people with AD, occurrence of AD and forms of treatment. It followed from the results that H1 hypothesis was not confirmed. Two partial targets were postulated for the given issue for the completeness sake. The first partial target was to describe the medically social issue of Alzheimer{\crq}s disease including its impact on all the spheres of the life of man: i.e. biological, psychological as well as social spheres. The second partial goal concerned the survey of services for persons with Alzheimer{\crq}s disease and their families in the South Bohemian Region. This thesis may be utilized in future as source of information about Alzheimer{\crq}s disease for the students of Faculty of Health and Social Studies in České Budějovice and for persons from the lay public who would like to learn more of Alzheimer{\crq}s disease.

The extent of awareness of canistherapy in the České Budějovice
PILÁTOVÁ, Kateřina
Abstract With the advancement of civilization, people are becoming more and more distant from nature and animals. That creates a subconscious longing in people to create substitute connections with nature. Canis-therapy, as a form of zoo-therapy, is a supporting rehabilitation method based on the contact of man and a dog and their positive interaction. The focus is especially on solving psychological, emotional and socio-interactive problems. The effect on physical health is secondary and is more about motivation. The main aim of this work was a complex monitoring of awareness of the problems of canis-therapy in České Budějovice among the students of individual departments of the University of South Bohemia and the professionals from selected health and care institutions. The outcomes of the practical part of the bachelors work are the results from the quantitative research where the method of asking questions was used; the technique was a standardised questionnaire. The research sample consisted of 150 students of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice and 45 professional staff from health and care institutions in České Budějovice. The working hypotheses presumed that the awareness of the problems of canis-therapy among the respondents will be low. In line with this hypothesis, unfamiliarity with conditions for practicing canis-therapy was presumed. The author attempted to find out if those who receive this type of zoo-therapy are aware of the providers of this so far unofficially approved social service. The data collected in the research clearly proved that more than two thirds of all respondents know the problems in question; however they are not clear on the conditions of the provision of this service. These results gave an impulse to practically focus on improving awareness of the conditions and practice of canis-therapy among professionals and general public alike through lectures, publications or leaflets. This work should also be used as informative and study material for starting and professional canis-therapy teams alike as it can help them develop their current position and especially improve their attitude to canis-therapy.

The Public Attitude towards Preventive Oncology Examinations
KAULICHOVÁ, Markéta
The Public Attitude towards Preventive Oncology Examinations The object of this paper is to find out how laic and health professional public uses the potential of preventive oncology examinations and to uncover the barriers in use of these programs from the point of view of the laic and professional public. The public attitude towards preventive oncology examinations is more important these days as the incidence of oncology diseases is growing. Prevention is considered the principal in modern medicine, also from an economic point of view. The attitude of society towards its health is one of problematic public health areas, the attitude of self-responsibility and the underestimated meaning of primary prevention. Moreover, there is a psychological problem related to oncological diseases: the fear of positive findings and the fear of the disease itself which is traditionally connected with incurability, cruel pain and inevitable death. This notion is no longer true. A dictatorial doctor{\crq}s approach to patients in the past has been replaced with cooperative and more equal relation, where the patient takes part in decision making. However, doctors are too busy to find the proper way and proper extent of informing the patient or these doctors often underestimate the importance of a good way of giving this kind of information. This thesis presents current preventive care offered in the Czech Republic and it shows the negative bias towards cancer which is a stumbling block to a more successful fight against oncology diseases. This research was undertaken amongst laic and health public. Quantitative data collection was used in the form of questionnaires. The research file is made up of men and women over 18 years, with or without health occupation. The hypothesis was not proven that laic public use preventive oncology examinations more than health public. The laics use these programs less mostly due to lack of awareness about them. One of the most common obstacles in using preventive programs is the misunderstanding of prevention itself, when people contact a doctor only when they have problems. The results have also shown that laics are not satisfied with the activity of doctors in informing them and that laic public search for information is done less actively. This thesis can be used as a foundation for further discussion about problems of informing the public about preventive programs and for future education of health personnel within oncology matters.

Awareness children of dealing with dogs.
CHLOPČÍKOVÁ, Marie
Children´s awareness of dealing with dogs starts to gain importance nowadays. More often we meet the problems of injuries caused in children by our best animal fellows.This situation needs to be solved. Problem cannot be seen only in accused animal. In most cases neither dog nor child is the deliquent. The main cause of a conflict between, in other way, harmonious coexistence of both partners seems to be children´s ignorance of behaviour, body speech and complex responsible attitude towards dogs. However,they cannot learn these basic rules themselves. Theoretical part of the thesis devotes attention to general outline of child {--} dog relation. Separate chapters are focused not only on psychological and social development of both arbiters, but also on their mutual impact, behaviour, care, communication and cooperation. At the same time, the thesis outlines the problems of dog bite-related injuries in children of our or foreign latitude. Last but not least it underlines the need of prevention and measures which could reduce or generally eliminate the rise of dramatic situations between a dog and a child. The main aim of this work was to chart awareness (informedness) of middle school- aged children of treating, care, behaviour and communication with dogs. Further presumption is to find out the knowledge differences in children who have dogs and those who haven´t. The output of practical part of the thesis are the results of quantitative research. There was used a method of questioning {--} technique standard questionnaire for children within the range of 3.-5. class of basic school. Research specimen represents pupils´ knowledge of four basic schools, in total 200 respondents. From the point of regional representation there were children of South Bohemia and Olomouc regions. According to the research there is evident absence in knowledge of dogs´ body speech and consequently the safety of mutual contact that represent the main problem in arising of risk situation between a child and a dog company. Therefore it is important to devote them more attention in future.
