Christian Aspects of Palliative Care
Kosourová, Noemi ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Štica, Petr (referee)
In my work I deal with the issue of palliative care, which includes variables such as illness, pain, suffering and dying. The first part is focused on these facts, which the terminally ill meet in several variations over time, they consider the issues that affect the essence of their lives and are confronted with the reality. I tried to enlarge the general view around the patient and of his problems with the Christian view , ie the possibility to browse the desperate hope that exceeds life and death. For Christians this hope means Jesus Christ .For the patient to receive this hope there is the Christian Church. The second part of this work deals with specific help, such as companionship, which is the work of chaplains and other Christians, whether in volunteer work, or experts in any of the religious establishments. In conclusion, I try to approach the issue of euthanasia, which just highlights the need for human and compassionate palliative care.

Experiences of health workers with acupressure
ROUBÍČKOVÁ, Radka
The abstract of the diploma thesis is focused on the acupressure and its influence of backache of medical staff. We chose the theme of acupressure because it is a non-invasive treatment method which can be practiced by everyone in the comfort of the home and no aid is necessary to have, just the basic knowledge and training how to perform acupressure. Acupressure is not physically or time consuming and that is why it is considered as a suitable means as an additional treatment of pain and other health disorders. It can improve nursing care. The theoretical part deals with pain and pain of medical staff who are the highest risk group of backache in the lumbar region. The backache is the most frequent cause of incapacity for work. Furthermore, in the theoretical part we deal with acupressure, one of the methods of alternative medicine. For the processing of the theoretical part, we used the available foreign and Czech literary sources. The empirical part of the diploma thesis is a quantitative method. The results obtained from the research were processed in the overview tables and case reports. For the thesis we set two research objectives. The first objective was to find out the experience of medical staff with acupressure. The second objective was to verify the influence of the techniques of acupressure for backache of medical staff. On the basis of the aim two hypotheses were created. The first hypothesis should show whether the backache will be softened by application of the acupressure techniques. The second one shows whether there is the difference in approach of nurses and doctors to perform acupressure.

Obstacles in the lives for those with Von Hippel Lindau disease.
ŠEREDOVÁ, Eva
Morbus Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) is still an unkonwn term for many people. It refers to a genetic oncological desease affecting 1/39000 to 1/50000 persons. VHL is connected with a great deal of manifestation. It is a disease with a very unstable prognosis. Those diagnosed with VHL require medical care by a large number of specialists. However, an early detection may significantly improve the quality of patients´ life. The disease is manifestated by numerous negative side effects, which is the main topic of my bachelor thesis. The research deals with "Obstacles in the lives for those with Von Hippel Lindau disease." and identification of bio-psycho-social effects of the disease on the respondents and their families. Additionally, identification of negative factors that can influence the respondents´ lives. The research is based on four issues: What are the biological effects of the disease? What are the psychological effects of the disease? What are the social effects of the disease? What are the negative factors affecting the lives of respondents? The research part of the thesis results from a qualitative survey accompanied by the method of semistructured individual detailed interviews and case histories. The respondents of the survey are two women diagnosed with VHL, one of their close family members and a specialist taking care of the women the chief nurse of Ophalmology Department in Faculty Hospital in Brno. The survey was made in Jihlava and Brno. The answers recorded in pen and drafted in schemes in particular gave a comprehensive view of the most significant effects. The results showed that the disease can influence not only the biological aspect of patients diagnosed with VHL but also the social and mental one. The former mainly results from the variability of the disease. Both women account pain, dispepsia, pancreatic cysts and hemangioblastoma. Moreover, the respondent 1 reports progressive hamengioma retina resulting in the loss of eyesight and the respondent 2 serious DM and trombofilia. Naturally, these handicaps have effects on the social life of both respondents namely the loss of job. This refers to the respondent 1 due to the loss of her eyesight. Both report restraints in social activities, relationships and minimizing contacts with their friends. According to the survey results the mental effect is more or less the same for both the respondents, yet the least important. They mention mainly fears, hopelessness, determination and distrust. Other negative factors affecting the respondents´ lives are insecurity, isolation, lack of knowledge of the disease and stigma. The results showed the biological effect of the disease as the most significant followed by the social and psychological ones. The interviews proved that both laymen and professionals have inadequate knowledge about the disease which, in the Czech Republic, has very rarely been researched while foreign servers offer quite extensive studies on this issue. Especially in the US there are specialized clinics treating patients diagnosed with VHL which is, of course, a result of a large number of patients concentrated in this large territory. Thus, these factors enable patients be centred in specialized clinics. This bachelor thesis may be regarded as a comprehensive study of Von Hippel-Lindau disease. The output of the practical part is an information manual about this disease.

When the health care of the patient becomes
PALIČKOVÁ, Pavla
The theoretical part is divided into five further parts. The first part is focused on the concept of health, definition of health which was constantly changing and also characterization of four various views on the concept of health. The second part will explain the concept of disease, the burden of disease and nurse's and patient's attitudes toward the disease will be discussed. The third part contains characteristics of the patient, their role, personal qualities and their shift in how they experience of the disease and how they act. The fourth part is focused on the nurse as such. It describes the role of doctor, nurse and care worker in patient's position. The fifth and last part is dedicated to hospitalization. Here we can find relationship between a patient and a nurse in hospitalization. This goes with explaining the importance of conversation and its role during hospitalization. The last sub-chapter of this part covers adaptation to the hospital environment and concludes the theoretical part of this thesis.The aim of this work was to 1. Find out about the view of one's own experienced hospitalization. 2. Find out how nurse's personal qualities have been affected by hospitalization. 3. Find out whether the hospitalization has affected their further job performance.The research part of this thesis was carried out using the method of qualitative survey. Data were collected with the help of semi structured interview.In the beginning of the interview, each respondent was assured that her identity will remain anonymous and that all the information acquired will be used only for this bachelor thesis.The survey was carried out in the respondents' privacy.The research showed that hospitalization experience is different between nurses in the role of patient and "ordinary" patients.Nurses as patients have higher expectations for example towards nursing service or providing information on their health condition. That is given by their medical background. On the other hand, it turns out that their education prevents them from embracing the role of patient and ask more questions.We can therefore say that the nurse/patient is in a way a really demanding client for the medical staff. The research has revealed that it cannot be definitely stated that medical education has significant influence on providing information on health condition. The research has further shown that respondents had no issues with attractiveness and equipment of the department. Early waking up for taking the patients temperature was perceived as negative.The research shown that, in terms of providing assistance in self-care, the personnel was very helpful, attentive, kind and saw "no issues".Further part of the research investigation was to determine how the health nurse/patient's hospitalization affected them on a personal level. What changes affect the nurse's professional attitude towards the patient after having personal experience as a patient and how they will use the experience in their professional performance. The results show that the respondents are trying to contemplate on their hospitalization experience. The results have also shown that the respondents tend to change their attitude mostly on the basis of unprofessional attitude on the part of medical personnel.In spite of this fact, nine respondents managed not only to think about their professional weaknesses but were also able to make use of the negative hospitalization experience for further development and improvement as for their professional performance. This thesis provides an insight of a nurse in the role of patient in hospitalization focused on the behaviour of nurses and their carer's approach towards patients.As the results have shown that the most problematic part was obtaining and providing information, I propose a seminar focused on the topic of how to learn relevant communication skills.
