Foreknowledge of Kindergarten Teachers in the Ceske Budejovice about CAN Syndrome
DIVOKÁ, Iva
This bachelor thesis concetrates on the problem of the CAN syndrome. I chose this topic to find out if the kindergarten teachers in České Budějovice are faced with this problem and if they have sufficient knowledge about it. The thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part has got four main chapters. The first chapter defines the Child Abuse and Neglect syndrome and looks into its history. The second chapter describes in detail the various forms of the CAN syndrome we can encounter. The third chapter concentrates on the consequences of child abuse. Here I describe the mental deprivation, the post-traumatic stress disorder and the trans-generational transfer. Prevention plays an important role, so the fourth chapter concentrates on it. I explain what constitutes primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. The goal of the practical part is to find out how informed the kindergarten teachers in České Budějovice are about the CAN syndrome; what is their attitude to this problem and how often do they encounter it. I also postulated a hypothesis, wherein I assume that a college educated person is more informed about the CAN syndrome than a person with high school education. The statistical evaluation has shown that to be the case. The hypothesis was evaluated using the chi quadrate test in Microsoft Excel. The practical part also describes my work method. The research used quantitative strategy. I gathered the needed data by questioning. I prepared my own questionnaire, fully anonymous, consisting of eleven questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of the CAN syndrome. The questionnaire consisted of closed, semi-closed and open questions. The data collecting took place in kindergartens in České Budějovice. 63 questionnaires were handed out, with a return of 84%. It is clear from the results that people with college education are more informed about the CAN syndrome than people with high school education. This became obvious mainly when the respondents were asked to define the syndrome. College educated people were also more familiar with the various forms of the syndrome. As for the attitude to the problem, no teacher with college education had said they would not inform anyone about such a situation, while someone with a high school education had. The thesis could be used by the teachers to gain more scientific information about the CAN syndrome. It could help them prevent violence on children or to recognize the problem sooner. The thesis could also be a good source of information for the general public.

Health and social impacts of violence against children and its prevention
KLEMENTOVÁ, Zuzana
The diploma thesis deals with health and social impacts of child abuse and its prevention from the perspective of social workers. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis draws on scholarly resources and explains basic terms related to the topic. The first part focuses on violence, victims of violence and abuse in general. The second part describes the CAN syndrome and its history. Moreover, it informs about general attitude towards abuse, maltreatment and neglect in the society. The next chapter concentrates on risk factors of abuse, maltreatment and neglect respectively. The following part addresses health and social impacts of child abuse and the role of social workers when working with child victims of violence. Next, it focuses on legislation that deals with child abuse and services designated to help abused, neglected and maltreated children. The last section of the theoretical part concentrates on child abuse prevention that includes prevention programs and National Strategy on Prevention of Violence against Children in the Czech Republic for the period 2008-2018. The main aim of the thesis was to determine health and social impacts of violence and child abuse prevention from the perspective of a social worker. Next, three following sub-goals were specified: to identify the consequences of child abuse, to determine opinions of social workers on prevention of violence against children and to establish social workers' suggestions for prevention. To fulfill the aforementioned objectives, three research questions were defined: What are the health and social impacts of child abuse from the perspective of social workers? What is the subjective opinion of social workers on child abuse prevention? What are the suggestions and recommendations of social workers for violence prevention? The practical part was conducted by means of qualitative research strategy. The data were collected by a survey method, specifically by a semi-structured interview. The data were analyzed using a clustering method. The research group consisted of five respondents who were selected intentionally. The research group was chosen from the Registry of social services providers. Altogether seven organizations working with abused, maltreated and neglected children were selected. A social worker from each of these seven organizations was contacted. Consequently, five social workers agreed to participate in the research. These social workers were from the Authority of Social and Legal Protection of Children and from other non-governmental organizations. Two other social workers refused to take part in the research. The interviews were always held in the social workers' workplace. The research survey showed that the most common health and social impacts of child abuse are self-harm, mental disorders, identification with the role of a bully and problems in the future relationships. Most respondents stated that prevention of violence against children is sufficient but they added that there is still room for improvement. One respondent said that the level of prevention is inadequate because the process is uncoordinated and coherent methodology as well as continuous approach to children is missing. Furthermore, the research established that the respondents think it is vital to improve child abuse prevention by developing comprehensive methodology and integrating this topic to the school curriculum. All in all, the thesis focuses on a widely discussed topic child abuse is a worldwide up-to-date problem since it occurs very frequently. The purpose of this diploma thesis could be to call attention of the society to child abuse and inform about its occurrence. Next, this thesis could also prove useful in the area of child abuse prevention since it might serve as an information source for experts who deal with prevention of violence against children. It may also motivate people to improve current prevention methods.

Endangered Child in Family
JÁCHIMOVÁ, Andrea
The bachelor thesis deals with the issues of neglected, tortured and abused children who grow up in non-functional families. The aim of the work is to describe types of families, mainly families not fulfilling their basic functions where children are neglected, tortured or sexually abused. On the basis of the studied professional literature I explain the issues connected with the CAN syndrome, what children are most prone to become victims and who abuses children and how the traumas they experience in their childhood influence these children in their further lives. In the practical part, using a case from my teaching experience, I describe a case of seven siblings who were growing up in a non-functional family, their behaviour, including its causes, and the further life stories of these children and how they were influenced by their childhood in a non-functional family.

Problems of nursing care for suspected CAN syndrome affected children
ZASADILOVÁ, Klára
The subject of this thesis is the Nursing Care of Children with Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect Syndrome (CAN). The child abuse and neglect syndrome is one of the most serious transgressions committed against children in today?s society. One of the most important steps is to reveal, or just suspect, CAN Syndrome and follow this up with comprehensive child care. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical sections. The theoretical section deals with a historic look at child care, the different forms of abuse and neglect, a clinical picture of CAN Syndrome, the examination of a child, nursing care, the role of a nurse, the treatment of CAN, and finally the incidence and prevention of CAN. Five objectives were laid down in the thesis. The first objective was to map the specific aspects of the nursing care of children suspected of having CAN Syndrome. Two research questions were posed regarding this objective: What are the aspects of the nursing care of children suspected of having CAN Syndrome? And the second research question: In which cases are nursing care of children suspected of having CAN Syndrome specific aspects adhered to? The second objective was to determine whether health care workers are able to recognise the indications of CAN Syndrome. The third objective was to assess the theoretical and practical knowledge of health care workers when treating children suspected of having CAN Syndrome. The last two objectives were to create a standard of nursing care for children suspected of having CAN Syndrome and to determine the frequency of the incidence of CAN Syndrome. Three hypotheses were set forth regarding the research objectives: H1 The informedness of paediatric nurses about CAN Syndrome is greater than the informedness of other health care workers, H2 The informedness of university-educated health care workers is greater than health care workers with a secondary school education, H3 The informedness of health care workers with more experience is greater than the informedness of health care workers with less. In order to achieve the laid down objectives, quantitative and qualitative research was conducted. The results of the research can be utilised as a source of information for health care workers for the further improvement of nursing care and as educational materials for the teaching of future health care workers. The output of this thesis is a nursing care standard, which according to the results of the research would be welcomed by a majority of the respondents and which would assist nursing staff in the diagnosis and care of a child with CAN syndrome.
