Self-sufficiency of NGOs in culture
Vyhnánková, Jana ; Boukal, Petr (advisor) ; Römerová, Eva (referee)
The master's thesis focuses on self-sufficiency of NGOs in culture, especially on NGOs in performing arts. The thesis aims to analyze the current status of self-sufficiency of NGOs doing performing arts in the Czech Republic. The research was conducted by means of electronic questionnaires sent to NGOs managers or financial employees. The research has shown that NGOs doing performing arts generate a relatively high level of own funds and they diversify their sources successfully. NGOs do not draw much money from the private sector but they use foreign funds a lot. There is still room for improvement in strategic planning of NGOs fundraising and marketing activities.

Expectations and Reality of Living in Nursing home in Planá nad Lužnicí
VOBORSKÁ, Dana
This bachelor thesis deals with an issue of seniors´ living in a nursing home, which is one of residential social services offered in the Czech Republic. The aim of the thesis is to identify in which aspects expectations of seniors before moving into the Nursing home in Planá nad Lužnicí differed from the reality of the life in this facility. Therefore the research aim is to find out what the expectations of local residents related to and to what extent they were met. The partial aim is to gain an overview about the fact whether the seniors before their arrival in the nursing home are sufficiently informed about the housing and services in this facility. In the theoretical part, first there are defined concepts of ageing and old age and there are described changes accompanying this period of life. Further there are presented social services for seniors provided in the Czech Republic. There is described an adaptation process and in the end of the theoretical part the Nursing home in Planá nad Lužnicí is presented. To get necessary information for the practical part of my thesis I used a qualitative research. I chose a method of interviewing, a technique of a narrative semi-controlled dialogue. From results of my investigation it is apparent that the seniors´ expectations before their arrival in the nursing home were associated not only with the reason of their removal, but also with the fact, what information about their future living was available. Through the research I found out that the vast majority of respondents had enough information about the nursing home. The respondents´ expectations were in most cases associated with a barrier-free environment and a possibility to use chosen nursing care operations. Then the research showed that respondents in the nursing home appreciate a comfortable barrier-free living in the pleasant surroundings. Respondents evaluate positively the nursing care as well as the staff, although some of them point out to financial demands of the housing and services provided. It is important for the respondents that they can continue to be engaged in their favourite activities and meet their friends here. The research shows that in some cases the reality of the housing in the Nursing home in Planá nad Lužnicí even exceeded the expectations associated with the moving into this facility. The findings gained through this thesis could serve as a feedback for the staff of the Nursing home in Planá nad Lužnicí. They also could contribute to increasing of a general awareness of the fact what seniors expect from their living in the nursing home and what the housing in such a facility can offer them.

Nursing care of patients with cataract
VESELÁ, Markéta
This Bachelor´s thesis focuses on caring for cataract patients. Cataract is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world and the surgery for its correction is the most common surgery in the developed countries. 80 % of all that people perceive comes to them through their eyes; that´s why deteorating vision may mean limited self-sufficiency or even a complete loss of thereof; patients may then find it difficult to look after themselves. This Bachelor´s thesis consists of both theoretical and practical components. The theoretical part is concerned with cataract as a disease; it establishes the definition of this illness, its kinds, diagnostics and treatment. A substantial part focuses on nursing care for cataracts, defining concepts such as self-sufficiency and its evaluation and assessing the functional degree of self-care. The practical part consists of a choice method of a quantitative and qualitative research. The quantitative research uses the method of a questionnaire for patients; a partly-structured interview with nurses was used as a means to achieve the aim of the qualitative research. The interviews, which took place in the Ophthalmology department in the hospital in České Budějovice and the Lexum European Eye Clinic are included in this thesis. This work had established two aims. The first one was to find out the specifics of nursing care for cataract patients. This aim was aided by 2 research questions. The first of them was: what are the specifics of nursing care for cataract patients? The second one was: do the nurses know what the specifics of nursing care for cataract patients are? The second main aim was to find out the differences in the patients? care for themselves before and after getting surgery for cataract. This aim was supplemented by Hypothesis 1: after having surgery to correct cataract, patients show higher level of self-sufficiency than before the operation. Hypothesis 1 was confirmed on the basis of the acquired results. In the case of a successful defense of this Bachelor´s thesis, the results will be published in a medical journal.

The role of a nurse during a postoperative period supporting patient's independence after an amputation lower limb.
ZRZAVECKÝ, Martin
Having studied medical literature and having gained practical experience in taking care of patients with amputation in the Surgery Ward of the Hospital České Budějovice a.s., I decided to focus my bachelor thesis on: The role of nurses in promoting self-sufficiency in patients with amputation during postoperative period. Lower-extremity amputation can be defined as the removal of a peripheral body part resulting from an injury or surgical operation. Currently, road transport in particular accounts for a high accident frequency. Many young people experience the loss of a body part due to injuries. As a planned surgical procedure, amputation of the lower extremity is performed in order to relieve or eliminate pain or in order to prevent infection or metastases from spreading. Lower-extremity amputation changes the life quality of most people. Health professionals provide the care for amputations according to the standards and lead the patients towards gaining self-sufficiency. The qualitative research was aimed at: 1. mapping the role of nurses in promoting self-sufficiency in the patients with amputation during postoperative period, as viewed by both the nurses and the patients, and 2. determining the degree of successful practising self-sufficiency in the patients with amputation during postoperative period. The relevant research questions were set as follows: 1. What is the role of nurses in promoting self-sufficiency in the patients with lower-extremity amputation, as viewed by nurses? 2. What is the influence of nursing on the self-sufficiency of the patients with lower-extremity amputation? 3. How do nurses practise self-sufficiency in the patients with lower-extremity amputation during postoperative period? The qualitative research was based on the use of in-depth interviews with the nurses and patients. The research sample included patients with lower-extremity amputation and nurses of the Surgery and Traumatology Wards in the Hospital České Budějovice a.s.. As regards the promotion of self-sufficiency in the patients with lower-extremity amputation, the results indicate that the nurses from the Surgery and Traumatology Wards performed mainly activities aimed at satisfying patients´ physiological needs (hygiene, food and fluid intake, excretion, assistance in moving and in the need to be pain-free). Nurses of the Surgery Ward consider practising self-sufficiency in these patients more demanding in view of the patient´s age and the type of amputation related to a chronic disease. Patients believe that nursing care during the hospitalization has a significant influence on their self-sufficiency. The nurses of both the Surgery and Traumatology Wards consider practising self-sufficiency to be of great importance and can observe different effects as related to the patient´s age and the cause of amputation. Both the nurses and the patients agree that practising self-sufficiency includes hygiene, assistance with food intake and excretion, getting up from bed to assume vertical position, practising movability and managing pain. The investigation objectives were fulfilled and the obtained results may help nurses improve the quality of nursing, which will contribute to the improvement of the quality of life in the patients with amputation.

JIRKŮ, Lenka
Nowadays, cerebral apoplexy is no longer a disease that only attacks elderly people, but increasingly, persons at a productive age. The consequences of this didease are diverse and vary according to the affected person, both in extent and severity. This is why this disease fundamentally changes the way of life of both the diseased and their families.The teoretical part of my bachelor thesis is focussed on the disease itself. The reader of this thesis will learn more about the nature and the substance of this disease. This thesis describes the types of cerebral apoplexy, the risk factors, the diagnosis and the methods of treatment. If further describes the princilpes of methods for nursing people suffering cerebral apoplexy,emphasising their self-suffuciency, rehabilitation a rehabilitation targets.The socond part of my bachelor thesis was research work. The applied method was based on a survey in which two types of questionnaries were deployed, one for respondents working in inpatient wards in medical facilities and one for respomdents working as home carers. This part focussed on acquiring information and discovering differences in providing support to hemiplegic patients after cerebral apoplexy to help them to becouse self-suffucient in personal hygiene and to collaborate wiht a physiotherapist, both in an inpatient ward and during home care. The result should contribute to better nursing care provided to patients after cerebral apoplexy.

Promotion of self-sufficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in selected daily activities at the home environment
TÜRKOVÁ, Věra
Promotion of self-sufficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in selected daily activities at the home environment The topic of my bachelor thesis is promotion of self-sufficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease the main symptom of which is damage of mainly small joints, muscles, ligaments, but it may also manifest itself in internal organs of the body. This leads to significant motion limitation and thus greatly deteriorates the quality of life and self-sufficiency of affected people. Since it is women who suffer from this disease most, we concentrated on the area of cooking, eating and personal hygiene. The role of nurses is to lead patients to self-sufficiency. There are more possibilities how to provide the patients with limited self-sufficiency with support, but the thesis is focused on the aids to promote self-sufficiency in cooking, eating and personal hygiene. To carry out the research survey we stated six goals. The first goal was to find out what aids to promote self-sufficiency the patients with rheumatoid arthritis have at their disposition for cooking food and eating. The second objective was to determine what aids to promote self-sufficiency the patients with rheumatoid arthritis have at their disposition in the area of personal hygiene. The third objective was to determine what aids to promote self-sufficiency the patients with rheumatoid arthritis miss in the area of cooking and eating. The fourth goal was to find out what aids to promote self-sufficiency the patients with rheumatoid arthritis miss in the area of personal hygiene. The fifth objective was to create a brochure to promote self-sufficiency of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in cooking, eating and personal hygiene. The sixth goal was to apply the booklet on patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The goals of the thesis were met. At the turn of February and March 2011 the qualitative research survey was conducted. For data collection the method of questioning, the non-standardized interview technique was used. Using pre-prepared questions we interviewed the respondents with rheumatoid arthritis who are treated on an outpatient basis. Based on information and available aids mapping, a booklet to promote self-sufficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis was created and subsequently tested. The research group consisted of six respondents suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. The respondents were selected according to predetermined criteria, which were the suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, disease stages II., III., IV, when self-sufficiency is strongly influenced and monocyclic, polycyclic and progressive course of rheumatoid arthritis is present. The research sample for an inquiry was selected by the same criteria, and it consisted of 10 respondents. The thesis revealed which specific aids are available to patients with rheumatoid arthritis and which are missing. Based on obtained information and the aids mapped, a booklet to promote self-sufficiency of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the area of cooking, eating and personal hygiene was created. We believe that steps to improve self-sufficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the areas of cooking, eating and personal hygiene at home environment involve the booklet provision to outpatient and inpatient departments of rheumatology. To address the widest possible population of rheumatics with damaged self-sufficiency and on the basis of positive responses to the booklet, we accepted the offer to publish a series article about promotion of self-sufficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the magazine ?REVMATIK?. In our opinion, positive contribution could also be organization of an information seminar on aids to promote self-sufficiency for patients and nurses in rheumatology units and for members of the Rheumatism - league and students of ZSF.

Rheumatoid arthritis versus ankylosing spondylitis from the view of dependence to social network
JELENOVÁ, Michaela
The number of rheumatic diseases has been increasing in Europe. It is estimated that currently up to a quarter of Europeans suffer from some type of rheumatism. Rheumatoid arthritis and Bechterew's disease (ankylosing spondylitis) are chronic diseases manifested by pain, stiffness, inflammation of joints and the back. The theoretical section is divided into two parts; the first part defines rheumatoid arthritis and Bechterew's disease from the health point of view. The second part is devoted to the social area that is often neglected. The aim of the practical section of the thesis is to reveal how rheumatoid arthritis differs from Bechterew's disease in terms of the use of social assistance, as well as employability or participation in social life. For the data collection, qualitative research methods and interviewing techniques were used. The addressed respondents were patients of rheumatology consulting rooms of the Medipont Plus Ltd., who were divided into two groups ? patients with rheumatoid arthritis and those with Bechterew's disease. The research has shown that persons suffering form rheumatoid arthritis are more likely to get a disability pension than those with Bechterew's disease and they also more often use social contributions, most frequently the extra benefits for people with disabilities ? ZTP cards. This is related to a lower work capability in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared to those with Bechterew's disease. The research results are influenced by the age of the respondents, the length of the illness, the difference in the roles of men and women and last but not least, by personality characteristics. The research has proved that patients suffering from rheumatic diseases as well as those suffering from Bechterew's disease and undergoing biological treatment are more self-sufficient due to this modern treatment. It has also been found that the respondents who are not fully self-sufficient are not informed about the possibilities to get social benefits and contributions and do not know where to get this information. The thesis could provide an impetus for the strategy when rheumatic diseases are not considered only a medical issue, because these diseases significantly influence the lives of the people affected and thus become a serious psychosocial issue.
