Issues of mandatory and voluntary vaccination in children
DOLEŽALOVÁ, Anna
Current status: Vaccination is an integral part of infectious disease prevention. Vaccination against nine infectious diseases is currently compulsory in the Czech Republic. The activities of the paediatric nurse include not only the correct preparation and administration of the vaccine to the child, but also the education of parents and children about vaccination. The aim of the work was to find out what knowledge parents have about the vaccination system for children, to describe the experience of nurses with parents' attitude towards vaccination of their children and to determine the duties of a pediatric nurse in preparing and administering vaccines to children. Methodology: A combined qualitative-quantitative method was chosen for the research investigation. Quantitative research was conducted using non-standardized questionnaires. The questionnaires were distributed to parents in the offices of general practitioners for children and adolescents and were also available on social platforms that bring parents together. A total of 152 questionnaires were obtained and subsequently processed. The qualitative part of the study was carried out using a semi-structured interview technique with nurses at the paediatric and adolescent GP practices. The size of the research population was determined by the theoretical saturation of the data. A total of ten interviews were conducted with nurses in selected general practitioners for children and adolescents practices in České Budějovice and Dačice. The selection of informants and respondents was deliberate. Results: The quantitative part of the study showed that parents' knowledge of the child vaccination system in the Czech Republic was statistically significantly related to their education (p<0.001) and the number of their children (p=0.006). There was no relationship between knowledge and age of respondents (p = 0.197). The qualitative research investigation confirmed that nurses have sufficient knowledge about their responsibilities in vaccinating children. The experience of nurses, with the attitude of parents towards vaccination of their children, is that most parents agree to vaccination. Their reasons include their child's health and the fact that parents do not want to deal with complications at the child's older age (inability to attend preschool, summer camps, etc.). According to the nurses' experience, the reasons for parents not wanting to give consent to vaccinate their children include fear of side effects after vaccination and their general rejection of the authorities. Conclusion and recommendations for practice: Therefore, education of parents about vaccination in primary preventive care by the nurse and physician is very important. An integral part of parent education in primary care by the nurse practitioner is to refute any false information about vaccination and to communicate only the true facts.

ŠVONCOVÁ, Adéla
The bachelor thesis deals with the topic of Open Therapy of Autism (O.T.A.), a therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder. The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to find out parents' satisfaction with the results of O.T.A. therapy for their children. In view of the aim, qualitative research was chosen, which was conducted in the Prague area with parents of children with autism spectrum disorder who attend O.T.A. therapy. How satisfied are parents with the outcome of O.T.A. for their children? The most appropriate method to obtain data was a semi-structured interview with parents who attend the Autism Therapy Centre in Prague. The main benefit may be for parents who are considering therapy, as the work provides real experiences of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder. Furthermore, the work can be beneficial for the Autism Therapy Centre as feedback on their work - what to keep, what to continue or, on the contrary, what to improve. The results showed that parents of children with autism spectrum disorders are satisfied with the therapy and its results. In conclusion, they all agreed that their children had made progress since entering the therapeutic process, especially in the areas of communication and managing emotions. The most frequently cited disadvantages were frequently mentioned financial difficulty of the therapy and the poor local accessibility, as most parents have to commute to the therapy, which is associated with time consuming. All parents want to continue the therapy.

The bachelor's thesis examines the impact of parental divorce experienced during childhood on young adults. Its aim was to determine whether young adults perceive the effects of their parents' divorce even with temporal distance into their early adulthood. If so, what are these effects and what do they believe causes them? The thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part presents the theoretical framework, drawing from professional literature by both Czech and international authors. It focuses on family dynamics, divorce, children's reactions, and the influences to which they are subjected during marital dissolution. The second part focuses on the research methodology. It introduces the research objectives, main research questions, sample description, methods, research data, their summary, and comparison in the discussion.

Krejčí, Simona ; Janoušková, Anežka (advisor) ; Dvořák, Jan (referee)
Deciding on alternate care Abstract The aim of my master thesis on the topic "Deciding on alternate care" is to analyse the decision- making of courts and the criteria that influence the assignment of a child to alternate care in the Czech Republic. The aim is not only to assess to what extent these factors and criteria are in the interest of the child, but also to what extent they must be fulfilled in order for this institution to be used with regard to the needs of the children themselves. At the same time, I also discuss the biggest problems that accompany alternate care. This thesis is divided into seven parts. In the first part, I define the basic concepts related to alternate care and also discuss the forms of post-divorce child care. The forms of post- divorce care are sole custody of one parent, joint custody, alternate custody and entrustment to another person. In the second part I describe the development of alternate care in the Czech Republic. In the third part, I focus on selected case law of the Constitutional Court, which specifically concerns alternate care and its pitfalls. The case law of the Constitutional Court is very important in this respect. In the fourth part, I describe in depth the so-called four-stage test of suitability, which was formulated by the Constitutional Court in order...
