The importance of health services for caring families
PRACHAŘOVÁ, Eva
This thesis deals with the topic of informal care linked with health care services. Many people are not aware of the variety of fields that can be classified as health care services and where to find these services outside of hospitals and surgeries. Often people have to look for information in the moment when they need to start caring for someone else which is usually difficult for them. One part of the thesis focuses on informal care, who carries it out, what it involves. The main goal of the practical part of the thesis is to identify the significance of health care services for caring families. To discover this goal two research questions were set: 1. Why does a member of a family become an informal carer? 2. Why do caring families utilize health care services for a non self-sufficient member of a family? In order to accomplish the goal, qualitative strategy was used, in particular the method of questioning. During the interviews, the semi-structured form was used. The acquired data were then processed using the method of creating clusters. On the basis of the acquired results I believe that the goal of the thesis has been fulfilled. Caring families seek out and utilize health care services when they need to add professional acts to their care. The example of such situation would be if a non self-sufficient person would have to be moved into a hospital or a housing facility (such as a retirement home) where formal care is carried out on a common basis. Families also seek out health care services if they need to stabilize or improve the health condition of the person they care for.

Prachařová, Eva ; Chlebek, Jakub (advisor) ; Chocholouš, Petr (referee)
DIPLOMA THESIS Purification of phlorizin from Malus domestica Borkh.by solid-phase extraction and semi-preparative high-performance liquid chromatography Eva Prachařová Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Botany The aim of this diploma thesis was to find the best conditions for purification of a flavonoid extract from leaves of Malus domestica Borkh., and obtaining the purest fraction of phlorizin. Phlorizin may be used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2 in the future, it has the ability to reduce glycemia by reducing the absorption of glucose in the small intestine and by increasing urinary glucose excretion. The first step was to find an SPE cartridge with a suitable sorbent and a suitable eluent for solid phase extraction. The DPA-6S cartridge and 100% methanol as an eluentwerefound to be the most suitable for SPE. The next step was to find the best possible conditions for semi-preparative HPLC using an ACE 5 C18 column (5 μm, C18, 150 x 10 mm i.d., 150 mm length). The mobile phase consisted of 1% (v/v) acetic acid in water (solvent A) and ethanol 100% (v/v) (solvent B), and a linear gradient elution was used (10-100% B), 0-60 min, the flow: 1mL/min. This method resulted in the 91.05% purity of phlorizin. Keywords: phlorizin, SPE,...

Approach of social work focused on mentally challenged clients.
PRACHAŘOVÁ, Eva
Inmy bachelor I focus on client-oriented approach in social work with clients with mental disabilities. In addition to theoretical knowledge I mapthe use and the knowledge of this approach by social workers in the South BohemianRegion and the South Moravian Region. The aim and purpose of the thesis was to inform public, students of social work and students of related fields of study about the possibilities of approaches that are used to clients with mental disabilities in social services. The aim of practical part was to describe an approach focused on the client and its use within work with clients with mental disabilities in organizations providing social services. To determine this goal there were defined two research questions: 1) In what extent do social workers use the client-orientedapproach to individuals with mental disabilities in organizations providing social services in the South Bohemian and South Moravian Region? 2) What are the main characteristics of the client-oriented approach to the use for work with clients with mental disabilities? In the thesis I focused on the understanding and the application of the approach used by social workers in the South Moravian and the South Bohemian Region. The research used a qualitative research strategy, using methods of questioning techniques and semi-structured interview. The sample consisted of six social workers from the organizations of the South Bohemian Region and seven social workers of the South Moravian Region that work with people with mental disabilities. Of the organizations were, I always chose only one social worker from the organization. Collected data were analysed by the method of clustering. The results showed that social workers used the client-oriented approach with the working with people with mental disabilities only in unique cases. It was revealed that a total of ten informants applied in their work with clients some theoretical approach of social work. However, only three communication partners based on client-oriented approach and these three were from the South Bohemian Region. From the testimony I noticed thatinformants from the South Bohemian Regionare better informed of the theoretical approach oriented. In the second region - South Moravian Region, social workers rather based on the experience with the target group of mentally handicapped people than from any theoretical approach. I also focused on mapping information about the approaches of Carl Rogers, primarily client-oriented approach informants who don't use approaches of Carl Rogers were interviewed. Eight out of eight surveyed knew the name of Carl Rogers and his approach focused on client or they have ever heard about it. Then I investigated whether the informants are familiar with important concepts of the approach. I mapped that eight out of eight informants are familiar with empathy and use it in their work. However, congruence is known only by one out of eight respondents and this informant was from South Bohemian Region, who does not use it in practice. Unconditional positive acceptance was known for all eleven respondents, three out of seven from the South Moravian Region and four out of four from the South Bohemian region applied it in their practice. This bachelor thesis can be used as information material for the general public and students of social work and related fields of study. Approach focused on client is known but only little used within the working with people with mental disabilities in social services, so this work can be also used as an initiative serving the greater interest of future social workers on this approach.
