Nurse education about thromboembolic disease about their risks and prevention.
HAVLOVÁ, Jitka
The bachelor thesis titled Nurse education about thromboembolic disease about their risks and prevention deals with patients' knowledge regarding the thromboembolic disease, education activities of nurses and determining the effectiveness of such education activities of nurses regarding thromboembolic disease. The theoretical part focuses on the anatomy of the vascular system and the heart as well as on the process of blood clotting. Furthermore, the theoretical part is devoted to the characteristics of thromboembolic disease, its symptoms and risk factors. The diagnosis, treatment and prevention of thromboembolic disease are also presented. Finally, the nursing care of patients with phlebothrombosis and pulmonary embolism and patient education are described. Three objectives were set for this bachelor thesis. The first objective was to map the patients' knowledge of thromboembolic disease, about its risks and prevention. The second objective aimed to map the educational activities of nurses in the context of thromboembolic disease. The third objective was to discover how nurses determine the effectiveness of educational activities about thromboembolic disease. Based on these, following three research questions were established: What do the patients know about thromboembolic disease, about its risks and prevention? What kind of educational activities do the nurses in the hospital do regarding the prevention of thromboembolic disease? How do nurses determine the effectiveness of educational activities about thromboembolic disease in the hospital? In order to obtain the results of the research investigation, two research sets were established. The first research set consisted of the nurses providing care and the second research set consisted of the patients. These patients were hospitalized in the ward where the nurses worked. The actual research investigation was conducted by meeting the nurses and patients in person using qualitative method and semi-structured interviews. All interviews were recorded with the consent of the persons on a mobile device voice recorder. The data collected from the interviews were processed and analyzed using the pencil-and-paper method. The main categories and sub-categories were created based on these data. Three and seven subcategories were established for nurses providing care. There were three categories and six established for the patients. The first research question asked was: What do the patients know about thromboembolic disease, about its risks and prevention? According to the research conducted, it was found that patients do not have enough information about thromboembolic disease and are not fully informed by nurses in the hospital about the symptoms of phlebothrombosis and pulmonary embolism, risk factors and preventive measures of thromboembolic disease. Within the second research question, it was asked: What kind of educational activities do the nurses in the hospital do regarding the prevention of thromboembolic disease? The research showed that nurses educate patients about the importance of exercise, any activity, the proper application of low molecular weight heparin before discharge to home treatment and the proper loading of compression bandages before surgery. Regarding the third research question, How do nurses determine the effectiveness of educational activities about thromboembolic disease in the hospital?, the investigation showed that the most important thing for nurses is communication with the physiotherapist, monitoring the patient at each room visit as well as obtaining the feedback from the patient after education on the correct application of low molecular weight heparin. Based on the results of the survey, an information leaflet on thromboembolic disease has been developed and will be provided to private practices or hospitals.

Good Death and Euthanasia from Antiquity to 30th of 20th century
KRATOCHVÍLOVÁ HAVLOVÁ, Jitka
The thesis provides a comprehensive view of the "good death" and euthanasia from antiquity to the 1930s. It describes the attitudes of physicians and other scholars in different historical periods. The research is based on published sources and literature. The author examines the phenomenon in general, compares published sources and makes a comparison of the phenomenon from a historical perspective. The first part describes basic terminology related to the topic. Death and dying are viewed from the historical and ethical points of view. The second part describes the individual historical periods from antiquity to the 1930s in terms of social and cultural changes. The emphasis is placed on the opinions of philosophers, scholars and doctors about good death and euthanasia. The general view on death and euthanasia is even better illustrated by the medical care of a given period, the development of medical science and medicine. The thesis presents a theoretical base from which information for practical research of the phenomenon of death can be drawn. The examined phenomenon could be equally important and challenging for the present.

Study of spatial activity of small mammals inhabit isolated forest draws in agricultural landscape with a focus on the use of surrounding food sources.
HAVLOVÁ, Jitka
Habitat fragmentation during 50s of 20th century caused decrease in food resource availibility for many small mammalian forest species. Despite all of the changes, those species managed to adapt to it - one of the adaptation mechanics has been migrating into agricultural areas. The main aim of this study was to describe the spatial activity of Apodemus sylvaticus and Myodes glaerolus inside two forst patches and compare it. My next aim was evaluate the significance of agricultural areas nearby the researched forest patches. One part of this was even the comparison of different marking techniques used for rodents in field. Data describing movement activity of researched species were collected using capture-mark-recapture (CMR) As expected the data differ - Greater mobility was found in A. sylvaticus, the M. glaerolus preffered to stay inside patches with larger vegetation cover. The raids into surrounding patches differed even in those two researched forest sites. In site "Samota" A. sylvaticus showed greater movement distance, however in "Hejtman" it were M. glaerolus expressing greater movement ability. Theirs movement were directed inside clover field. Both species of Samota site ventured into patches with dense plant cover, perhaps to minimise the risk of predation. The best method of marking proved to be the clipping the rodents ears with tags. As the next more efficient I would choose the ear-clipping.
