Visitors are not forced to do activities; on the contrary, they may apply their own will and practise everything they like and what is enjoyable for them. The Bachelor thesis focuses on the use of Snoezelen room for geriatric clients. There are plenty of workplaces for child clients in the Czech Republic that tend to use Snoezelen room. However, there are only few workplaces dealing with Snoezelen for geriatric population, even though the method is utilized by this clientele abroad pretty often. The theoretical part of this paper summarises the area of Snoezelen and dementi, which abounds in old age quite frequently, as well. Moreover this section describes basal stimulation, which has extensive effect on people suffering from dementia and last but not least a link between the Snoezelen room and basal stimulation is mentioned here. The practical part analyses contemporary state and evaluates answers to the question: "How can a Snoezelen room be arranged and...

Abstarct (v angličtině) This Thesis "Levels of care for patients with Dementia in various medical facilities" is about the care of patients with Alzheimer's disease and Senile dementia. Aim of the Thesis is to find the differences between state and private institutes.Thesis deals with the issue of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Senile dementia (SD) and describes care in these institutions. It is focused on nursing staff care and friendly relationship with patients and an emphasis on creating a family environment, suitable communication and activation methods. In the research part of Thesis attempts to map the specialised institutes of AD and SD in the Central Bohemian region. At the same time we find the method of interview and observation of care options for patients with AD and SD. From research resulted better level of care in terms of relationship with patients and family environment, in the state institutions because of a greater number of nursing staff on the number of patients. Communication and family environment is not enough to create in the large institutes, rather focused on the mode of care.

Kasl, Zdeněk ; Jirásková, Naďa (advisor) ; Pašta, Jiří (referee) ; Skorkovská, Šárka (referee)
Retinal nerve fiber layer measurement in patients with Alzheimer's disease The current ophthalmologist's possibilities in diagnostics of Alzheimer's disease Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia syndrome and mild cognitive impairment. To enroll the disease most securely there are used so called biomarkers using evidence of changed brain metabolism by pozitron emission tomography (PET) and in cerebrospinal fluid or the brain's structure magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These methods are expensive, organisationally and temporally challenging and burdening for the patients. According to that reasons we are still seeking for alternative attitudes suitable for early diagnosis. The evaluation of thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) which is well accessible to examination through optical aparatus of the eye could be one of the options. The aim of our work was to present current knowledges about Alzheimer's disease targeting relations of Alzheimer's disease and an ophthalmological finding. In the next part of this paper we introduce the retinal nerve fiber layer measurement by optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a potential diagnostics method by screening of patients with Alzheimer's disease and to present our results measured in our cohort of patients. The studied cohort...
