KUČEROVÁ, Zuzana
The bachelor thesis called "Health literacy of the population in the prevention of foodborne diseases" deals with diseases caused by food contaminated with microorganisms and their prevention. The theoretical part includes characteristics, distribution of foodborne diseases, definitions and detailed description of selected diseases. The next section describes the causes of foodborne infections and their classification into three groups: poor personal hygiene, multiplication of micro-organisms and contamination. Food safety and the importance of hygiene measures, guidelines and legal standards that need to be known in order to prevent these diseases are also described. The last part of the bachelor thesis defines the duties of food service workers. The subject of research of the practical part is the health literacy of workers in closed and open mass catering establishments who are involved in the preparation of food and therefore work in activities of epidemiological importance according to the Public Health Protection Act. The survey maps their knowledge of good hygiene practices in food preparation, distribution and storage. The second part of the practical part consists of the analysis of menus from selected establishments and their analysis in the NutriServis application. The results showed that health literacy in preventing foodborne infections is good. They are aware of epidemiologically relevant activities, terms and laws related to them. Again, these respondents have a good understanding of personal and operational hygiene, compliance with food preparation rules, and institutions dealing with, for example, emerging epidemics of alimentary diseases. The second part of the bachelor thesis focused on the evaluation of the weekly menu and the analysis of potential risks of foodborne illnesses. It was concluded that undercooked meat, meat products, eggs and unwashed fruit and vegetables could be the greatest risks.

Hrúziková, Petra ; Veselá, Lenka (referee) ; Janů, Valentýna (advisor)
The diploma thesis "Invisible Layers of Settling Dust" dissects the myth of cleanliness and dirt together with a parallel of civilization diseases and public health through the medium of household chores and cleaning. The space installation provides a way of thinking about the collective body as a plurality of identity - it counts on the variability of meanings, with processes of disconnecting and reconnecting the collective body always anew. Drawing from the philosophical concepts of many authors, this work offers one of the possibilities of their interpretation in an exhibition space, with its condition being the creation of a unique situation consisting of the presence of bodies shedding the coherence of their own identity and creating temporary micro-identities.

VRZÁKOVÁ, Karolína
Hygienic hand disinfection is one of the basic measures to prevent healthcare associated infections. The principles of hygienic hand disinfection are laid down by the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic. By following the procedures of hygienic hand disinfection, the health of not only the patients but also the healthcare personnel is protected. The issue of hygienic hand disinfection is often mentioned, but compliance can be a problematic aspect. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the issue of hygienic hand disinfection and related areas. This is the area of indications for hygienic hand disinfection and the procedure, which in practice may hide deficiencies. The thesis also mentions disinfectants and the topic of jewellery and nail treatment, which is also crucial in terms of the quality of the hygienic hand disinfection performed. The use of alcoholic disinfectants can cause skin manifestations and it is necessary to take care of the skin of the hands. Hygienic hand disinfection is a global topic and has been the subject of many studies. This thesis is enriched by a number of them. Health care-associated infections are closely related to hygienic hand disinfection. The theoretical part of the thesis also focuses on this. In the research part of the thesis, the data obtained by observation and subsequent interview technique are processed.

Nursing procedures as the essentials of respiratory tract in clinical praxis.
SVÁROVSKÁ, Tereza
The main goal of this bachelor thesis was a comprehensive mapping of airway care in clinical practice. Before entering practice, we must become nursing students and gain the appropriate knowledge and skills in care, so this research is focused not only on the hospital environment, but also on campus in teaching nursing procedures to teachers and students. The goals of the thesis were to map the Standards in nursing care of the respiratory tract, which can serve as a theoretical and practical basis for students and nursing staff. Another goal was to examine the theoretical teaching of students and, if necessary, to discover gaps in the teaching of respiratory care and to suggest improvements in teaching. The last stated goal of the research was to search for innovations that are used in respiratory care. The methods of semi-structured interview and non-participant observation were used in the quvalitative survey. The first research method involved a semi-structured interview has been addressing 3 groups of participants and adding subcategories to them. The first group of participants was consisted of nursing staff and the subcategory was focused on the characteristics of the research group of participants, who were selected from the internal medicine, infectious and surgical departments. The condition was to work with the AIRVO 2 device and the tracheostomy cannula. The research questions focused on the specifics of respiratory care. The introductory research question was set in such a way as to map the specific care of the nasal cavity in modern high-flow oxygen therapy using the AIRVO 2 device. This is confirmed by the results of nurses who do not know these specifics and are therefore not sufficiently trained about possible complications and their solutions. Another issue examined was the study of the Standards in the care of the oral cavity with an established tracheostomy cannula. The research has shown that most nurses motivate the self-sufficient patient to take care of themselves and contribute to the aids that the patient uses. This research with students showed that oral care in a patient with an established tracheostomy cannula is not taught at all. Means that reduce bacterial colonization in the oral cavity are little used. The third question focused on the time allocation for teaching nursing procedures focused on respiratory care. The research has shown that most participants perceive the time allowance as sufficient. Teaching is realized in 4-hour blocks. My research also included mapping the tools that students have available to teach this issue. Students and teachers presented selected aids, all aids were sufficient, except for the model of the Trachcare system at tracheostomy cannula, which lacks an outlet for airway lavage and flushing of the Trachcare system. According to research, It is perceive the AIRVO 2 medical device as an innovation, which reduces care costs, time and, most importantly, is easy to handle. The last question which was mapped the students' knowledge. All the research could serve not only as a support for students, but also for nurses in practice.
