The perception of health and illness in the lay public in the Vysočina region
NETOPILÍKOVÁ, Lenka
Introduction: The subjective perception of health and diseases is a factor affecting health condition of every one of us. Many times, in health facilities we meet with laymen who do not know the definitions of health, diseases and often they also do not know which factors damage their health. That can result in trivialization of the problems or overuse of medical services. Objectives of the thesis: The thesis aims to find out how does the lay audience in the Vysočina Region perceive health and disease, what it does for its health and how would it describe health promoting and health threating behavior. Methodology: For fulfilling the objectives the qualitative form of the research using semi-structured interview with twenty informants from lay audience was utilized. The selection of informants was intentional on the basis of preset criteria. It was ten men and women of various age categories. The gathered data were then literally rewritten and analyzed. Results: It turns out that perception of health and disease is highly individual, and many factors play a role in it. Many times, the idea of informants diverge from available literature. The difference in perception is apparent even in determination of the boundary between health and disease. The results shown that people who underwent some mild illness in the past and now they are in good health do not feel healthy. On the other hand, informants suffering from chronic disease do feel healthy. From the perspective of perceived risk factors which could damage health the informants mostly mentioned environment in which the individual grows up. It was also found out that most people do not do the maximum for their health and that they do realize their shortcomings. Conclusion: Knowledge of perceiving health and disease appears as very substantial due to need of education and prevention. In this regard it is mainly beneficial for offices of general practitioners which are in primary care and very often educate and inform their patients in the area of health and healthy lifestyle.

Perception health and illness by the Roma minority.
MLEJNKOVÁ, Silvie
The Roma minority differs from the majority society mainly by its history, characteristics, traditions and customs, but especially by its perception, which is reflected in the approach to health and illness. It is important to have at least a minimum of knowledge about other cultures, because we also meet such patients in healthcare facilities. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis entitled Perception health and illness by the Roma minority is devoted to history, but also the present. Attention is also devoted to the characteristics, definition health and illness, to which the factors are also related that affect health and illness. Perception health and illness also have an influence on the provision of nursing care. It was discussed with in the last chapter of the bachelor thesis. In total, three goals were set, namely to describe how Romany perceive health, the second goal was to describe how Romany perceive the illness and the last third goal was to describe how attitude towards health and illness affect the Romany access to the prevention. The practical part of the bachelor thesis was then processed using a qualitative research survey, specifically through semi-structured interviews with the Romany aged 18 to 50 years living in the South Bohemian region. A total of 10 interviews were conducted with the Romany members. The information obtained was further analysed in the form pencil and paper, then classified into categories and subcategories. The research showed that the Roma minority perceives health as a value that occupies a very high place in the value system. But it was not in the first place. The first place was taken by the family. Despite the fact that the Roma value health well, the attitude towards maintaining it is negligible. Their unhealthy lifestyle often did not correspond to statements about the value of health. The Romany most often associate the disease with pain, which limits them in their daily activities, and therefore often use a large number of analgesics. Surprising results were obtained in the part of prevention, where without one informant all went to the regular preventive inspections. The results can be used in a professional article or in teaching, for example in the education to health.

The environmental aspects of health
MIČANOVÁ, Pavlína
The topic of this thesis is The environmental aspects of health. This paper focuses on the impact of the environment on human health. A human being is constantly being exposed to many external environmental factors, which have a certain impact on one's health and can sometimes cause various diseases. The influence of the environment is a\very broad topic, which I tried to summarize and unify in an understandable manner, and then describe the most important influences of the surrounding environment. This paper is divided into two main parts. The first part targets environmental influences and the second deals with social influences. The environmental influences are then devided into three main chapters: physical, chemical and biological influences. The physical influences include the influence of radiation, the effect of sound, noise and vibration, the effect of weather and the effect of the geopathogenic zones. Regarding the chemical influences, I discussed air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution and waste. In the chapter on biological influences, I described viruses, prions, bacteria, parasites and mycotoxins. The second part deals with social influences where I focused on the topic of environmental stress. One of the goals of this paper was to study and to place into a system the real health risks and dangers originating from the environment. Another goal was to draw attention to the possible risks of environmental stress caused by the study conditions at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. This thesis can serve as an enrichment or an addition to the already existing works on the effects of the environment on humans.
