General Public Awareness about Vaccination before Going Abroad
 BROMOVÁ, Martina
This thesis deals with attitude of Czech travellers towards prevention of infectious diseases that can affect them during their stays in overseas destinations. The main objective of this work is to investigate awareness and interest of travellers in vaccination before going abroad. The theoretical part is focused on principles of good preparation for going abroad and also on infectious diseases that can complicate the stay abroad. The focus of the theoretical part is epidemiological characteristics of selected infectious diseases which pose a risk for travellers particularly in areas of Asia, South America and Africa. The practical part involves quantitative research carried out with 104 people, who in 2010 travelled overseas. Research covers information on infectious diseases, on risks connected with stays overseas and on the use of recommended preventive measures. For data collection I applied the method of questioning, the technique of a questionnaire. The research was indirect, via emails. The objective of the thesis was, above all, to highlight the need and importance to ensure quality information for citizens travelling overseas about possibilities of prevention of selected diseases through vaccination and the use of prophylactic medication and about the necessity of good hygiene in the above mentioned areas. The output of the thesis might be used as a basis for targeted focus on education of public through the cooperation of specialists with media or travel agencies. At the same time the thesis might be used as study material for both lay persons and as a basis for further research.
