Specifics of nursing care for clients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Romana
The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is characterized by the restriction of air flow in the bronchi. It is a combination of two diseases: chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema. Because the symptoms of both diseases blend, the joint name ?chronic obstructive pulmonary disease? is used. It is a neutrophil inflammation that causes irreversible changes. The most common cause of the disease is smoking tobacco products.The aim of this bachelor?s work is to determine the specifics of nursing and refer to the specific needs of patients. If nurses should provide high-quality care, they must be aware of these specifics when treating patients with this particular disease. The role of the nurses in this area is very important as they must approach patients individually. The nurses provide specific nursing care and educate patients. The theoretical part of the work focuses on the characteristics of the disease, its causes, treatment or prevention and nursing activities performed by nurses. The practical part of the work was processed in the form of qualitative research by means of a semi-structured interview. The research sample was represented by patients from pulmonary hospitals and pulmonary departments of hospitals in the Plzeň region and the Central Bohemian region. In total, eight respondents participated in the research. According to interviews, case reports were executed based on which categorized tables were executed with the most interesting data.It arises from the results that the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease brings various problems, and a patient and nurse must be able to solve them and be aware of them. Further, it is obvious that informedness of patients, and the wider public, could be more detailed because this disease stands on the first place in the list of civilization diseases and there are increasingly more patients with this disease. Thus, a brochure was executed based on the results with the aim to provide information about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.This information brochure can be used for study purposes or for patients with this disease.

The study of radioactivity and radiation problems and their comprehension by laical public
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Romana
Radiation and radioactivity {--} these words awaken a sense of insecurity, unknowingness and sometimes even major concerns in many of people. On the other hand, only few people really have the right and sufficient information on this topic that is considered very important but also complicated and hard to understand. In my opinion, the majority of the public has no access to professional information on use of ionizing radiation and radioactivity. Therefore, they have insufficient knowledge of the topic and this fact results in concerns and fear of radiation that the public may hold. The hypothesis whether the amateur public is mainly afraid of medical sources of radiation, was determined for research in my bachelor thesis. Furthermore, I set several sub-hypotheses in order to gain a general picture of the points at issue and eliminate any ambiguous results. Moreover, the quantitative form of research was selected in order to reach the targets and verify the hypotheses. A questionnaire was used as a technique for collecting data. Members of the amateur public {--} patients of the hospital Mulačova nemocnice s r.o. in Pilsen {--} were selected as the statistical set for the purpose of the questionnaire survey. The objective of the thesis was to establish the concerns connected with various types of use of radioactivity and ionizing radiation, provide the objective and coherent perspective of the level of the amateur public{\crq}s awareness in this field, and propose the most effective way of presentation of information in order to spread the general awareness based on the data acquired and statistically processed. I would like to provide my bachelor thesis as a source of information to the general public. Furthermore, I would like to offer the results of this thesis to organizations dealing with these points at issue and as a course material for students of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice.
