Absence from work
Zahradníková, Michaela ; Kocianová, Renata (advisor) ; Krištofová, Zuzana (referee)
This thesis focuses on employees' incapacity to work as a factor that negatively affects the functioning of an organization. The resulting negative financial impact is felt not only at the level of specific organizations, but also can affect a country's macroeconomic performance. To be able to understand the issue of work absence, it is necessary to consider it in the context of a state's political and social situation. It is also essential to take into account legislative regulations regarding absenteeism that dictate the procedures required for both employees and employers. A serious problem associated with sick leave is the unauthorized absence of employees from work that results in significant burden on employers as well as hinders the macroeconomic functioning of the state. Although there are public institutions involved in activities for reducing absenteeism, the task of investigating the reasons for increased work absence is usually left up to the employer. That includes a responsibility to find and incorporate into the organization's policy an effective and appropriate solution for reducing work absence and stabilization of amount of absence. It is also important to avoid creating an environment that leads to so called "presenteeism," which is the presence of employees in the workplace...

The influence of complex spa treatments on the return to work process
FORST, Lukáš
The aim of this work is to find out the effectiveness of comprehensive spa treatment therapy focused on the musculoskeletal system. I tried to map out the influence of medical methodologies used in spa facilities, specifically in Berta Spa Třeboň, and patients´ return to work. In the past few years spa treatment is a frequently discussed topic not only because of the recent change in the list of indications. At present there are 35 spas in the Czech Republic which have to fulfill strict requirements to ensure maximum beneficial effect in rehabilitation, resocialization, prevention and supportive treatment. Lately many people are seeking spa facilities rather only for relaxation and so the spas are losing the primary purpose. Spas have mainly curative effect and are used as a prevention as well as a treatment. Spa treatment is or should also be the last treatment before the end of incapacity. Incapacity is a significant topic in the current health and social issues. The average incapacity/sick leave then becomes also an important economic factor.

Benefity veřejných výdajů na sport
Smrčková, Hana Marie ; Špecián, Petr (advisor) ; Chytilová, Helena (referee)
Participation in sport activities brings various benefits to the individuals involved as well as to the society as a whole. One of these benefits is a higher labour productivity following from a lower disease-induced absence rate and from the improved personal work characteristics. This thesis investigates the influence of public money spent in support of sport on labour productivity. The study is based on the data about these expenditures on the level of the Czech municipalities, whereas the expenditures on sport are aggregated over the municipalities belonging to each of the fourteen regions composing the Czech Republic. The performed regression analysis traces the influence of these expenditures on the disease-induced work incapacity rate in the respective region, which constitutes a proxy for labour productivity. The results of the analysis show that municipal expenditures on sport significantly decrease the disease-induced work incapacity: if municipalities in a region spend extra one hundred CZK per person on sport, the disease-induced work incapacity in the following year lowers by 0.064 to 0.083%.

Tick-born aseptic meningoencephalitis and recovery of the patients to everyday life
JAROŠOVÁ, Eva
Tick-born meningo-encephalitis is a severe viral infectious disorder of central nervous system with growing prevalence.The various symptoms are present not only in the acute phase of the disease but also during the recovery phase and are quite often the cause for long term job disability. In my assignment I aim to map the influence on the quality of life for patients with tick-born meningo-encephalitis and the impact on the physical health as well as on the psychological, social and spiritual area. The aim is also to find the time interval needed for the return to common daily activities in correlation to the patient status before the onset of the disease and also to course of the disease. Last but not least I want also to find if the patients were vaccinated and in case of negative answer the reason for not being vaccinated. In correlation to the research goals the following questions were defined: 1.Which area was the most impacted by the disease: physical health,psychological,social or spiritual? 2.How long is the interval needed to come back to common daily activities? Is one year enough and was the health status before disease onset important determinant for the recovery? 3.Were the patients aware of the possibility for vaccination and what was the reason for negative attitude to this option? In this bachelor assignment the qualitative research was chosen using the technique of semi structured interview. The meningo-encephalitis disease has a significant impact on the physical health and from the holistic point of view it affects also the psychological, social and spiritual area. The various areas like the job and occupation, family interactions and free time activities are changed for certain time period. This means a lot of difficulties and problems not only in the personal or social life but also of economical nature thus being potentially existential issue. Apparently most responders have changed the perception of their quality of life.
