Self-esteem and confidence of nurses a related to nursing practice
SLIPKOVÁ, Aneta
This thesis is focused on the current status of self-esteem and confidence of nurses while doing the nursing practice. To evaluate current status the general nurses were asked about importance, and if they have enough self-esteem and confidence while doing the nursing practice. Furthermore, I asked questions focused on the problematics of building self-esteem and confidence and how nurses care about their self-esteem and confidence. The thesis is made up of the empirical and theoretical part. Theoretical part is focused on the personalities of general nurses and their formation. Furthermore, this part is focused on factors which affect self-esteem and confidence of the nurses while doing the nursing practice and it also includes the research what the nurses do for their mental health in order for their self-esteem and confidence to be on the appropriate level for doing the nursing practice. The empirical part is made up of one objective. This objective is to determine if the nurses have enough self-esteem and confidence while doing the nursing practice. For the empirical part the technique of semi-structured interview was chosen. Gathered information were processed and divided into nine categories. The results of the research show, that general nurses can, in their own words, say what self-esteem and confidence is and are able to speak about the importance of self-esteem and confidence when doing the nursing practice. Self-esteem and confidence of the nurses is on appropriate level for doing the nursing practice, but their approach to their job is responsible and humble, both for new and experienced nurses. Their self-esteem and confidence while doing the nursing practice is affected by specific factors which are connected to their profession. To achieve the necessary level of self-esteem and confidence, their personal values in their personal life are also important. The research shown that while doing the nursing practice the nurses have more self-esteem and confidence than in their personal life, since they would not be able to do operations and the nursing practice in their best states of mind. Because of that in order for the nurses to have self-esteem and confidence on the appropriate level they should care about their mental health. The interviews shown that nurses try their best to care about their mental health, even though sometimes it is not possible due to high difficulty of their profession. This thesis helps to introduce the problematics of self-esteem and confidence of the general nurses at different departments. This includes personal opinions of nurses on the importance of self-esteem and confidence while doing the nursing practice, factors which affects these personal values and the importance of mental hygiene for doing the nursing practice.

This bachelor thesis deals with the self-esteem of university students with dyslexia and its comparison with the intact population of university students. Further it focuses on the difficulties university students with dyslexia suffer, but also on their strengths and positive attributes. The aim of the work was also to find out whether there is a relation between the self-esteem of reading and the global self-esteem of individuals with dyslexia. A total of 51 respondents participated in my research, 23 of which belonged to the experimental group of university students with dyslexia. In the research, 2 questionnaires were used, namely The Reader Self-Perception Scale 2 (RSPS2) and Self-Liking/Self-Competence Scale-Revised Version (SLCS-R). In addition to these methods, also 4 open questions were used. Results of the research have shown that university students with dyslexia have more negative reading self-esteem than university students without dyslexia, but the differences in global self- esteem between the two groups are not statistically significant. It has been shown that within the individuals with dyslexia there is no significant positive relation between the reading self-esteem and global self-esteem. The main finding of this work is that, despite the difficulties caused by learning...

Depressivity and self-esteem in adolescence
KŘÍŽ, Jakub
The aim of the study is to explore depressivity as one of the symptoms of depression, manifested by the actual disharmony in a person. The study was carried out on a sample of 442 Czech adolescents from grammar schools and high schools from two regions of the Czech Republic. A sub-objective was to explore how the level of depressivity and self-esteem are related and whether self-esteem differs among adolescents classified as depressive and non-depressive. For a section of the research, a quantitative design was selected and a battery of tests was created using the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). We have come to the following findings. The group consisted of 19% depressive respondents (84 individuals) of whom 3,6% were boys (16) and 15,4% (68) were girls. We have found that girls, boys and our entire study group are more depressive compared to normative groups from the Czech Republic and abroad. In the process of verifying the hypothesis, the inclination towards depressivity was found in the gender difference (girls have a greater tendency than boys), but the depressivity rate of only depressive individuals did not differ in relation to gender. The hypothesis of decreasing depressivity during late adolescence was not confirmed. We found that the level of self-esteem and general self-efficacy negatively correlated with the level of depressivity and that depressive individuals have, compared to non-depressive ones, lower self-esteem and general self-efficacy.

Orthorexia nervosa: pathological obsession with eating healthy food on adolescents
KLÁSKOVÁ, Aneta
This bachelor's thesis deals with the concept of orthorexia nervosa. Although it has become a current issue, orthorexia nervosa has been so far studied relatively little and is not very well-known within the Czech context. Orthorexia nervosa can be characterized as a pathological preoccupation with eating healthy food. It is being debated if it is a new eating disorder or a syndrome of one of the existing disorders, with expert views being different. Therefore, the theoretical part of the thesis specifies the concept and offers a closer look into its prevalence, causes, effects and treatment options. The theoretical part also deals with adolescence, eating disorders and specifically chosen Self concepts, such as self-esteem and self-efficacy. The research part of the thesis takes the form of quantitative design. The empirical objective of the thesis is to discover the relationship between orthorexia nervosa and eating disorders and the relationship between orthorexia nervosa, self-esteem and self-efficacy within a target group of adolescents. The sub-objective is to verify the potential difference in orthorexia nervosa prevalence in relation to sex and type of secondary school. The research sample consisted of 397 students at a secondary technical school and a grammar school aged from 15 to 20. The research has been based on the ORTO-15 questionnaire, Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and General Self-Efficacy Scale (DOVE). The findings have proved that within the sample there is a statistically significant positive relationship between orthorexia nervosa and abnormal attitudes to food such as dieting, bulimia and food preoccupation and oral control. A statistically significant relationship between orthorexia nervosa and the chosen Self concepts has not been found. The findings have also shown that the prevalence of orthorexia nervosa is statistically higher in females than males and in grammar school students compared to secondary technical school students.
