Care for meth users in the USA
Pacák, Michaela ; Minařík, Jakub (advisor) ; Minařík, Gabriela (referee)
The aim of my theoretical bachelor thesis was to map the care of methamphetamine users in the United States. In the introduction to my work, I explained the basic general information that is known about methamphetamine. From its structure to the use of methamphetamine in pharmacology, including its side effects caused by its use. Related to this is its popularity, but also the problems in the USA. Subsequently, I mention its history of synthesis, but also the ways in which methamphetamine and its use in the United States have spread to the population. I also point out the differences in its use that result from different racial, ethnic, and other differences. In the next part of the work, I evaluate the financial barriers that often lead to problematic care for methamphetamine users in the USA and summarize the current treatment that is provided to these users. At the end of this work, I point out some possibilities of the latest and promising treatment approaches, and in the discussion. I state possible causes that lead not only to different care for these users in the USA and the Czech Republic, but also my own knowledge and experience with the US healthcare system. From this knowledge, I draw conclusions or possibilities that can lead to change and improve care for these users.

Hejhalová, Tereza ; Blažková, Veronika (advisor) ; Linková, Marie (referee)
The work is focused on the issue of hyperkinetic disorder. The theoretical part is a search of literature, which describes the basic concepts and principles for easy orientation in the topic. In the practical part of the work, the knowledge gained from the theoretical part was used. The practical part consists of an analysis of the school system, the scope of work of a teaching assistant and a case study of an eleven-year-old elementary school student who was diagnosed with ADHD. Thanks to the cooperation with the pupil's family and her class teacher in primary school, the opportunity arose to draw on their personal experience of working with the pupil. Both the child's mother and the class teacher provided their answers in semi-structured interviews. Thanks to this, information was obtained about the student's behavior in the school environment, at home and in the environment of her peers. The author's own interpretation thus works with the results of professional research as well as from the personal experiences of the two people most significantly involved in the education of the pupil and in the building of her intellect. The aim of the work was to create an insight into how to work with these students and to create for them the most effective environment for learning in the conditions of...

Pharmacotherapy at the ortopedic department from nurse´s perspektive
TOMÁNKOVÁ NOVÁKOVÁ, Monika
Attention should be paid to pharmacotherapy in the orthopedic department mainly because patients at this department make up a risky group, they are older and often tend to use more types of drugs at the same time. Nursing at the orthopedic department is both mentally and physically demanding. Nurses administer medication to patients throughout the whole day, that is why lack of certain medication may occur in this department, the same way they would with all routine procedures. Be it conscious or unconscious. The thesis sets its objective to map out the issue of pharmacotherapy in the orthopedic department. Further, to map out factors that may influence the origin of complications when administering medication to patients in the orthopedic deartment, and suggest improvements in the process of pharmacotherapy in the orthopedic department. A qualitative research via participant observation and semi-structured interviews carried out with the nurses and patients of the orthopedic department, was used. The results of this survey prove that nurses do have basic theoretical knowledge in the area of pharmacotherapy. At the same time certain shortcomings were discovered, i.e. this theoretical knowledge is not being applied in practice. Most surprising were the results in the area of patient identification before administering medication, this step not always being abode by the nurses as a part of medical error prevention. Quite on the contrary, it can be said, based on the results, that nurses do have excellent knowledge and skills in pain reduction. This is proven by both participant observation and the happiness of patients themselves. Partial results have been presented at a seminar in the orthopedic department, and they have been passed on to the management of this department. The resulting shortcomings have been used as aid material. The diploma thesis was written so as to serve as material of information to beginner or existing nurses at the orthopedic department as well.
