Caring for a child with a cochlear implant in the home environment.
LOVĚTÍNSKÁ, Michala
Cochlear implants have been used in the Czech Republic since 1993. The cochlear implant gives deaf individuals the opportunity to receive auditory sensations. Cochlear implantation is a procedure where the implant is inserted under the skin and connected to a series of electrodes that are inserted into the cochlea. This procedure is performed by a surgeon which is specializes in ear, nose and throat. After long - term rehabilitation, the individual is able to understand spoken language and can even make phone calls without reading. With a cochlear implant, most users canintegrate into main stream society, among the normal hearing population. Children go to mainstream school, play sports, and communicate with others, all with out the use of sign language. Cochlear implants are currently operated in the Czech Republic at the Motol Hospital in Prague, the St. Anne's Hospital in Brno and the Ostrava Hospital. The first aim was to find out and describe how the child experiences the cochlear implant fitting, the second aim was to find out what problems parents perceive after fitting the cochlear implant in a child, and the third aim was to find out what barriers parents perceive in caring for a child with cochlear implant. The research investigation was carried out by qualitative research, using the method of semi-structured interview. The research sample consisted of ten adult informants, specifically parents, and five child informants. Parents and children come from different regions of the Czech Republic. The interviews took place from February to March 2023. Subsequently, all responses from the interviews with parents of children with cochlear implants users were listed. The results of the responses are divided into categories and their subcategories. The analysis of the results shows that the perception of the cochlear implant is different in children. The research found a fourth group of children who react to the first programming by crying. It was found that the child's experience of CI programming can be influenced by parents. As such, barriers to caring for a child with a cochlear implant have not been identified. Rather, parents perceived shortcomings of the cochlear implant, such as the speech processor slipping off the child's head, difficulty in obtaining a helmet, and perceived sweat as a deficiency with CI. The results show that children's perception of cochlear implant fitting is very individual, depending on many factors. Parents can influence the child's perception by training individual sounds in the home environment. Problems following cochlear implant programming in a child should be minimal, with a chech-up by a clinical engineer. The difficulties perceived by parents in caring for a child with a cochlear implant do not come out as prominently as CI deficiencies. It is very important to treat the child individually. Each child has different characteristics and abilities. From the results of the research investigation, we want to provide comprehensive information for parents of children who experience hearing loss or deafness in their child, and their possible solution is a cochlear implant. The results of the bachelor thesis were presented before an expert jury at the student competition of the ZSF JČU in České Budějovice. Furthermore, the results will be published in a professional journal for nurses.

Nursing care of children hospitalized with respiratory diseases from the point of view of parents.
ŠÁTAVOVÁ, Iva
Current state: Respiratory diseases are commonly encountered during our lifetime. A very common group affected by this disease are most often children. Many authors state that this is because children do not have a sufficiently mature immune system and are also frequent participants in larger groups. In this paper, we focused on parents who experience hospitalization with their child, just because of respiratory illness. Objectives of the work: Two objectives were set for this thesis. The first objective focused on how nursing care is provided to their children with respiratory illness from the parents' perspective. The second objective was to map the parents' attitudes towards this nursing care for their hospitalized child. Methodology: Qualitative research method was chosen for the research investigation of this bachelor thesis. The technique of semi-structured interviews with parents of children hospitalized in the pediatric ward with respiratory disease was used for data collection. The dialogues were recorded using the "Dictate" function and then analysed using the open coding technique "pencil and paper". The size of research sample was determined based on the theoretical saturation of the collected data. Results: The results of the survey showed that parents of children hospitalized with respiratory disease are satisfied with the nursing care provided to their children. Parents are informed and educated on the children's wards about the provision of nursing care and are also actively involved in nursing care. In nursing care, each parent takes a supportive stance for their hospitalized child. Parents also strive to establish a calmer environment and conditions for their child while performing nursing activities.

MIKEŠOVÁ, Barbora
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterised by serious brain illness that causes unprovoked, repeating seizures. The seizure is characterised as excessive and abnormal electric activity in an individual s brain. Epilepsy is caused by various factors, among them for example genetic factors, birth defects, traumatic brain injuries, surgery, undertaken stress, infection or other illnesses and it can appear at any age. Seizures manifestation can vary in type, development, cause and treatment. A suitably indicated treatment and appropriately educated parents about epilepsy issues and lifestyle measures are the basis for an optimal child s participation in a common group without major restrictions. The aim of this thesis was to find out how the medical personnel is devoted to education of parents and a child with epilepsy diagnosis and in the same time to find out the extent of parents knowledge of suitable treatment and lifestyle measures related to this diagnosis. For the research construct, qualitative research was selected, using a half-structured interview, particularly an interviewing method. In the frame of better quality of result processing, the interviews were recorded on a dictaphone and then re-written exactly and analysed. The results were analysed through a pencil and paper method that uses coding. There were 5 fields categorised: Content of education from the side of medical personnel, Implementation of education from the side of medical personnel, Parents knowledge about lifestyle measures, Sources of information concerning lifestyle measures from the side of parents with a child with epilepsy and educational activities from the point of view of children nurses concerning lifestyle measures. The individual categories are formed by further sub-categories, in which the resulting data are represented systematically. The results are provided in a clear way in individual tables and charts of the practical part of this thesis. From the research emerged that the medical personnel is devoted significantly to parents education and their children with epilepsy in the field of diagnosis, treatment, lifestyle and first aid. However, it was interesting to discover that this education is provided mostly by a doctor, lifestyle measures including, while a nurse provides only additional education in this field. From the results also emerged that the medical personnel try to select suitable educational environment and time intervals according to needs of children as patients and their parents. The parents also have general information about the epilepsy issue and lifestyle measures. It turned out that the parents have enough information concerning medicamentous first aid and the way of given medicaments delivery, but we encounter unfamiliarity of a time border of this medicament's delivery. Parent's ignorance was also discovered in general first aid principles. From the research also emerged that the information about common issues in the field of lifestyle measures was looked for by the parents most frequently outside the hospital environment, that is in the surroundings and on the internet. We decided to form an educational plan based on the results, that can be used as a model base for practical usage by nursing personnel. The educational plan concerns the education about lifestyle measures and first aid during a seizure.

Coping with Stress of Parents with Autism Spectrum Disorder Children
BAUEROVÁ, Denisa
The topic of my work is how to manage the long-term challenges for parents with a child suffering from an autistic spectrum disorder. The main aim of my Bachelor's work is to show and chart the possibilities offered to parents in the České Budějovice area as they try to deal with the related stresses and burdens. My aim is also to document the social service institutions and activities available to these parents. Qualitative research was used to fulfill these aims. The chosen research sample for this strategy were the parents with children who have an autistic spectrum disorder, living in the České Budějovice area, or using social services there. Communicative partners were chosen and the snowball sampling technique was used. Data was acquired using direct questioning and structured conversation. The data was then evaluated by open coding and interpretative phenomenal analysis. It is clear from the results that the parents use a support structure whereby they share the burden among family members and friends, and use the help of specialists in psychiatry. They also receive social security payments to consolidate and enhance the economic security of the family. It was also found that half of the parents cooperate with different organizations offering help to children with these needs. Another aspect that was clear from the results was that the families were fully informed about the different institutions and organizations that were available to help people with autistic spectrum disorder, including their families. This has been documented in the theoretical part of this work. The research showed that parents noticed the high occupancy in these institutions for people with PAS problems. Half of them would be really happy to see an increased capacity in these institutions, and to also create other organisations aimed at helping people. This work and its results can be used as an information source for people and institutions who care for, and are interested in, people with autistic spectrum disorders and their families. It could also be used as a general education resource for this area.

LABURDA, Michal
This bachelor's thesis focus on the experience of children whose parents have gone through or are going through the process of gender reassignment and at the same time focuses on the parents themselves who have undergone or are undergoing the process of gender reassignment. The aim of the work was to map how children experience the gender reassignment of parents, especially how they feel about this situation, whether the relationship between the child and the parent has changed and also what difficulties they face due to the change of parents. A partial goal was also to find out what assumptions of transgender parents themselves about the experience of their children in relation to their transition. Data collection was performed using semi-structured interviews. These data were then analyzed using content analysis and processed in the form of case studies. The results show that most children did not experience their parent´s sex change negatively. However, they faced a number of difficulties, which greatly affected their experience.
