CARDOVÁ, Barbora
The master thesis focuses on the role of a pediatric nurse in the prevention of infectious gastroenteritis in the pediatric departments. In the theoretical part of the thesis the focus is paid to general information concerning gastroenteritis and preventive measures in case they occur in the pediatric departments. In the empirical part of the thesis three goals are set. 1. Evaluate the health literacy of pediatric nurses working in the maternity ward and pediatric department in the field of pediatric gastroenteritis. 2. To assess the health literacy of pediatric nurses working in pediatric departments in the field of preventive measures against the spread of gastroenteritis in maternity wards and pediatric departments. And the 3rd last goal was to determine the opinions of pediatric nurses working in primary care and in pediatric departments regarding the optional vaccination of children against rotavirus. This part of the thesis deals with the analysis of data obtained using a self-administrated questionnaire. Questionnaires were given in the Hradec Králové region to nurses working in the pediatric and maternity departments of four local hospitals and to nurses in primary care at general practitioners for children and adolescents. The return of properly completed questionnaires was a total of 146, of which 110 questionnaires were from inpatient departments and 36 questionnaires from primary care. The research has shown that nurses have knowledge in the field of gastroenteritis, but they are not 100% informed. In the area of preventive measures of the spread of gastroenteritis, both research groups of nurses are very well oriented, and additionally nurses from primary care have a more positive opinion regarding the vaccination against rotavirus than nurses from inpatient departments. The output of the master thesis is a educational material for nurses, focused on the prevention of transmission of infectious gastroenteritis in pediatric inpatient departments.

DROBERJAROVÁ, Pavla
Current situation: A healthy lifestyle at children and education about it are currently very important. Failure to do so often leads to various health problems. In the theoretical part, we focus on the division of school age, the concept of health literacy and health determinants. We also deal with the role of a nurse at a general practitioner for children and adolescents and education in the field of a HL. Objectives: 1. To find out the knowledge of school children about a HL. 2. To map the active participation of school-age children in a HL. 3. To map the share of nurses in GPChA in the education of a HL in school-age children. Methodology: Within the research part, a quantitative research survey was performed using non-standardized questionnaires and a qualitative research method was used semi-structured in-depth interviews. The questionnaires were designed for 2 groups of school-age children (younger and older), where 23 research questions were used. Interviews were conducted with nurses at the GPChA, who answered 21 questions. The research was done with children aged from 8 to 15 and nurses at GPChA in the Vysočina region. Research group: It consisted of 120 children (from 8 to 15 years) and 8 nurses in GPChA offices. Results: Research has shown that children's knowledge of a HL does not differ with age. The active participation of children in a HL differs between girls and boys. It showed that nurses at the GPChA participate very in children's raising to the HL. Thanks to frequent interviews of nurses with children and their parents, this situation can improve. Recommendations for practice: The results of the survey can be used for nurses working in the paediatrics ward, in GPChA offices, for children and their parents or pedagogical staff.

KUCHAŘOVÁ, Aneta
This bachelor's thesis deals with eating habits of children at primary-school age from practical nurse's point of view in general practitioner's office for children and youth. We set ourself three essential targets. The first target is: to chart the current situation of primary-school-aged children's eating habits. This target is focused on questionnaires containing basic information about their eating habits, water intake and physical activity. The second target is: to chart the current situation of primary-school-aged children's eating habits from practical nurse's point of view. We did a questionnaire survey with practical nurses in offices of general practitioners for children and youth. The last target highlights the practical nurse's function in children education of healthy diet. The theoretical part is focused on essential nutrients such as saccharides, fats, proteins, vitamins, trace elements, minerals, and water. You can find some childhood illnesses connected with eating in this part, where we concern ourselves with the problematics of overweight and obesity, eating disorder, food allergies, intolerances and absence of appetite. Furthermore, we concentrate on the practical nurse's role for general practitioner for children and youth, and we also deal with health support and healthy diet for primary-school-aged children. We are also interested in water intake and physical activity of these children, last but not least in practical nurse's education of nutrition. We evaluate the nutrition state of a child, percentile graphs, and principles for good nutrition in this part. The methods of quantitative and qualitative exploratory research were chosen in the practical part of the bachelor's thesis. The quantitative exploratory research was focused on primary-school-aged children. The questionnaires was filled in by children at a primary school. The exploratory company was created by 158 respondents. The questionnaires gave us detailed information about eating habits of the children and their regular eating. The eating habits of these children are miscellaneous and they are influenced in some measure by parents and others. Girls are more likely to eat regularly as emerged from the outcome. It also emerged that children consume more sweetened drinks with artificial colorings and they also like fast food. We focused the qualitative exploratory research on 8 practical nurses in general practitioner's offices for children and youth. The semi-structured interview was created by 19 questions. The interviews gave us detailed information about that, if children keep the principles for good nutrition and physical activity or not. It emerged that girls are more like to go to a doctor with the problem of overweight and obesity.

Are nurses taking care of their health?
SMRŽOVÁ, Michaela
This bachelor thesis dealt with a question whether nurses care for their own health. The definition of health is clear. World Health Organisation defined health as a state of a complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of illness or injury in 1948. Hamplová (2015) says that perceiving health only as the absence of illness or injury is incomplete and it does not correspond with miscellany of the term. It is very important to care for our health and not to neglect the care due to the number of the factors influenced by health. Caring for health should be important for every person and it should be more important for sanitationist. This thesis consists of a theoretic part and a research. The theoretic part defines health, its determinants, focuses on lifestyle. It also characterises nurse, her work with or without specialization. Next two chapters deal with care for physical health, manipulation with patients and preventive medical check-ups. The end of the theoretic part deals with care for mental health and prevention of burnout syndrome. The second part of the thesis is a research. We chose a representative sample of ten nurses who work for one-shift or two-shifts and we compared their healthcare. According to the provided answers, we found that sisters often take care of health by trying to follow the diet and movement, while the area care about the psyche of the slightly stagnant. A very positive result in our work was that the sisters except for small exceptions to comply with in a large range of prevention, compliance with hygiene in the area of employment, which include disinfection, sterilization and waste sorting. The method of the research is a quantitative research which included structured interviews with partly structuralised questions.

Mumps among adolescents and young adults.
BÖHMOVÁ, Monika
Objectives of the work The aim of the work was to determine the course of mumps in adolescents and young adults and to map the specifics of nursing care in adolescents and young adults from the point of view of nurses of general practitioners. The following research questions have been chosen: What was the course of mumps in adolescents and young adults? What are the specifics of nursing care in adolescents and young adults from the point of view of nurses of general practitioners? Methods used To supply the necessary information was elected qualitative research using in-depth interviews with patients who have had mumps and nurses working with general practitioners for adults or children and adolescents. Interviews were captured by a recorder, recorded on the phone or written, and processed by direct transcription. Results The rewritten interviews were subjected to detailed analysis by open coding, using the paper and pencil method. From the data analysis, a total of six categories were formed, divided into two groups: Nurse interviews and Interviews with patients with mumps. Categories from interviews with nurses are: Vaccination, Measures in mumps, Mumps course according to nurses. The categories of interviews with mumps patients are: Collaboration with medical staff, Patient information and vaccine used, and Mumps course in patients with mumps. The individual categories are assigned subcategories, which are encoded to important information and all are included and illustrated in the various schemes. Conclusion From interviews with respondents, we found out how mumps had progressed by adolescents and young adults. It was found that half the respondents had more serious complications, but without lasting consequences, just in one case, the hearing remained impaired, the other serious complications after the cure disappeared. For nurses the result showed what are the specifics of nursing care in adolescents and young adults from the point of view of nurses practitioners. In the main issue, all nurses were oriented correctly. We have found that nurses have a minimum of experience with this disease because they have encountered it sporadically in their practice, and they know it only theoretically, although the incidence of mumps has increased in recent years and nurses should gain more experience. This finding may result in insufficient awareness of compliance with all treatment measures. The results obtained suggest that it would be advisable for doctors and their nurses who did not experience this disease to attend an education seminar focused on mumps, their symptoms, treatment, possible complications and anti-epidemic measures, with which the nursing care of mumps is related.

A comparison of nureses' attitudes to education in the Czech Republic and Slovakia
Bradáčová, Mária ; Janečková, Hana (advisor) ; Svobodová, Hana (referee)
Bakalářská práce "Porovnávání postojů sester ke vzdělávání v České republice a na Slovensku" prezentuje vývoj vzdělávání sester na Slovensku a v České republice po roce 1990 a analyzuje postoje sester z obou zemí k současnému systému vzdělávání. Práce je rozdělena do šesti kapitol. V teoretické části popisujeme proces změn ve vzdělávání sester po roce 1990 v obou zemích až po současný stav pregraduálního a postgraduálního vzdělávání sester. Cílem empirické části bylo zjistit názory sester z praxe na současné vzdělávání na Slovensku a v České republice a zároveň porovnat jejich postoje. Výzkum jsme realizovali v Nemocnici na Bulovce v Praze a v Univerzitní nemocnici Louisa Pasteura v Košicích, na anesteziologicko-resuscitačních odděleních a na chirurgických odděleních. Podle výsledků dotazníkového šetření hodnotí sestry obou zemí kvalifikační přípravu sester po transformaci vzdělávání spíše nespokojeně až velmi nespokojeně a řešení této problematiky shodně vidí v lepším finančním ohodnocení, zkrácení doby studia a diferenciaci kompetencí v praxi podle dosaženého vzdělání. Na základě výzkumu navrhujeme zvýšit povědomí sester o potřebě současného systému vzdělávání, samotný vzdělávací proces by se měl zaměřit především na zvýšení úrovně praktické přípravy absolventů a mělo by se ponechat jen...
