SUCHANOVÁ, Martina
Abstract Vaccination is an important part of medical prevention, particularly as prevention of some infectious diseases. A primary care nurse checks vaccination status and informs parents on vaccination terms. She is responsible for trouble-free course of vaccination. Apart from compulsory vaccination parents may have their children vaccinated against some diseases, which is non-compulsory and paid from private funds. The practical part of the thesis is a combination of quantitative and qualitative research. A questioning method, the questionnaire technique was chosen for the quantitative research, the research sample consisted of parents of children between 0 and 10 years of age. The 1st goal of the research was to map how well parents having 0-10 year old children were informed on compulsory and non-compulsory vaccination in České Budějovice. A hypothesis was set upon the chosen goal: Parents of 0-10 year old children are informed on compulsory and non-compulsory vaccination. The hypothesis was confirmed. The 2nd goal was to find out what the most frequent fears of vaccination were among parents of 0-10 year old children. The hypothesis formulated to this goal, that parents of 0-10 year old children were afraid of vaccination side effects was not confirmed. A half of the questioned parents have fears. The 3rd goal was to find whether parents were was interested in non-compulsory vaccination. The hypothesis set to this goal, that parents of 0-10 year old children are interested in non-compulsory vaccination was confirmed. The quantitative research employed a questioning method, the technique of depth interview with nurses working at paediatric surgeries in České Budějovice. The fourth goal was to map the role of a nurse in motivating parents to have their children vaccinated. A research question was based on the chosen goal: What is the role of a nurse in motivating parents to have their children vaccinated? I found from interviews with the nurses that a nurse motivates parents through information on vaccination, vaccination terms, on contradiction and adverse responses. She helps solve vaccination related problems. The bachelor thesis may improve knowledge among students, parents and nurses working at paediatric practitioner surgeries and among the public interested in vaccination.
