Health literacy employees
RŮTHOVÁ, Kateřina
The diploma thesis deals with health literacy of employees. Health literacy throughout the Czech Republic is very low. The diploma thesis has one goal: To map the health literacy of the employees. I chose three hypotheses in my research. Hypothesis 1: The expected health literacy of the staff of the selected teams is inadequate. Hypothesis 2: Women show higher levels of health literacy than men. Hypothesis 3: The level of health literacy depends on the level of education. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part defines the concept of health literacy, methods of development of health literacy, health promotion and prevention, including determinants of health and health of the population of the Czech Republic. Part of the work is also devoted to the work environment, risk factors and occupational medical care. The practical part was processed using the quantitative survey method using questionnaires. The data needed for the analysis were obtain from respondents from selected collectives who were informed about the anonymity of the questionnaire survey. The obtained data was processed in MS Excel and SPSS. The results of my work disproved all three hypotheses. Respondents in the research group are health literate, health literacy among the sexes is the same and health literacy is not dependent on the level of education. Work results can serve as a good source of information for the general public or employees and company employers.

Health Promotion in the Workplace in Concrete Conditions of a Textile Producing Company
PRŮCHOVÁ, Pavla
I prepared my thesis on Health Support at Workplaces under Particular Conditions of a Textile Factory. The main objective was to determine the company management?s activities in the field of health support. The second objective was to map the information provided to the staff on health support at the workplace, and the third objective was to propose the concept of a specific preventive programme. When preparing the concept of the preventive programme for the textile company I co-operated with the company management and with the company doctor. The reference group was represented by women employed in a textile plant in South Bohemia who worked in different workshops producing car seat covers, housing and children?s clothing. The work described in this thesis was carried out as quantitative research. For data collection I used anonymous questionnaires and the results of this research were plotted on graphs. The thesis is divided into a theoretical part and an empirical part. The theoretical part mainly deals with health support at the workplace, with an analysis of health risks at work including the impact of physical factors. At the beginning of the empirical part I set the goals and set out three hypotheses. Having analysed the collected data I found that H1, H2 and H3 were confirmed. The empirical section includes a description of the research technique which shows that more than 50 per cent of employees of the textile factory are overweight, then that there is a greater occurrence of health problems in the departments of sewing and embroidery machines and many women also had no idea of the meaning of health support at the workplace. According to the results it is possible to say that the textile company does not organize any physical activities or rehabilitative exercises for their employees. Based on the information I would recommend organizing sports courses, providing healthy canteen meals, reducing stress at the workplace and introducing dust extractors in order to reduce dust at the workplace. This thesis may bring the company better working comfort and help to improve the employees? health. The proposed preventive programme can also be a manual for employers in the textile plant in the field of health support at the workplace.

Problems of Occupational Dermatoses
BĚHOUNKOVÁ, Markéta
For my bachelor thesis, I have decided to deal with the theme {\clqq}Problems of Occupational Dermatoses``. I find the issue interesting but a little bit demanding on the processing and including all the necessary details. The aim of my work is to map occu-rence of occupational dermatosis in {\clqq}the centre of occupational deseases`` of Occupatio-nal Therapy Ward in České Budějovice Hospital and to accept and practically realize precautionary measures to decrease or avoid occurance of new occupational dermatosis cases. The hypotheses were concerned with comparing statistics of occupational derma-tosis cases reported in {\clqq}the centre of occupational deseases`` in České Budějovice and its congruity with developments of nation-wide statistics, and also precaution of occupati-onal dermatosis in a chosen copany. To research the first file, I have used a secondary data analysis and National health registry of occupational deseases statistics; for the second file, the method of quantitative reasearch was used and finally I used questio-naire for the data acquisition technique. The research was divided into two parts: the first file was comprised of occupational dermatosis data acquired in National health registry of occupational deseases, the second file was formed by employees of a com-pany producing spare parts for automobile industry. The results of the research were processed into charts and diagrams. The chosen aims were fulfilled, the process of acquiring datas was also not problematic, but there were some problems with gathering information from addressed respondents. The hypotheses were not confirmed {--} occu-pational dermatosis statistics of {\clqq}the centre of occupational deseases`` in České Budějo-vice differ from nation-wide statistics and so the precaution of occupational dermatosis is insufficient.
