The aim of the research is to describe how people reflect on their process of acceptance of sight loss and what areas have influenced this acceptance and what the differences are between male and female experiences in relation to their personality traits. Using qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews with three respondents, it became clear that the most significant change for respondents was a change in mindset and motivation to cope with the crisis situation. Furthermore, monitoring one's own progress towards self-sufficiency and the support of those around them proved to have a great influence on the acceptance process.

Quality of patients life with heart failure in the working age
Škaroupková, Petra ; Tomová, Šárka (advisor) ; Bratová, Andrea (referee)
Heart failure (HF) constitutes a serious health and social problem. The number of patients with HF continues to increase and it concerns not only the elderly, but increasingly also young people in the working age. In the Czech Republic, the incidence of HF is reported in the range of 0.4 to even 4 % of the whole population. Every year, there are 0.4 % new patients diagnosed with the disease. In order to effectively meet the bio-psycho-social needs of HF patients, we should know the impact of the disease on these needs. To determine the negative effect of HF on patients' lives we used the standardized Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. The aim of this thesis was to identify the relationship between certain areas of patient quality of life and the degree of heart failure, and then to transfer our findings into the nursing practice. Obtained results showed that the degree of HF according to NYHA (the New York Heart Association functional classification) affects all aspects of the life's quality. The analysis of obtained data revealed that there is no difference in perception of the negative effects of HF between men and women. Moreover, we demonstrated that even the age does not have any significant impact on the perception of negative sensations caused by heart failure. The average...

Comparative analysis of working age population mortality in selected developed countries
Straka, Jakub ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Rybová, Kristýna (referee)
Comparative analysis of working age population mortality in selected developed countries Abstract The main aim of this thesis was to analyze trends in mortality situation of working-age population (20-64 years old) in 31 developed countries in period 1995-2010 and to find similarities and differences between them. Temporary life expectancy was used as an indicator which summarizes the intensity of mortality in productive age. One-dimensional and two-dimensional decomposition revealed the contributions of individual age groups and selected nine major groups causes of death defined by ICD to the difference in temporary life expectancy values between 1995 and 2010 in five selected countries. An analysis of the development of this indicator has shown that there has been a prolongation of life span in working age in all surveyed countries and differences in mortality rates between countries decreased. Major cause of this trend was probably reduction of the mortality rate in the middle-aged population, mainly of external causes, in the 20-54 age group in countries with lower life expectancy rates. However, to verify this hypothesis, it would be necessary to analyze other developed countries with a higher level of mortality in working age population than Bulgaria and Lithuania. Countries with higher temporary life...
