View of sexually transmitted diseases in case of assisting professions
STŘÍTESKÁ, Lucie
Name of the dissertation is:``View of sexually transmitted diseases in case of assisting professions``. I decided to deal with sexually transmitted diseases because the number of these diseases is relatively high and numbers of newly ill people keep increasing. This opinion is confirmed by the fact that, for example, number of HIV positive individuals in the Czech Republic slightly exceeded 100 in the year 1990 whereas the number HIV positive individuals was 1,344 in the year 2009, i.e. 19 years later. Considering also the fact that this disease is an incurable one and treatment of this disease is demanding on the ill people from thein mental as well as physical aspekt and considering also the total effect for society, it is very important indeed to pay attention on this issue. Theoretical part divides sexually transmitted diseases according the often used division in classic generál diseases. They include inguinal granuloma, gonorrhoea, soft chancre, syphilis and venereal lymphogranuloma. Another diseases which include HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, genital herpes, infections caused by the virus Human papillom, scabies or pubic louses were dealt with only marginally. The last chapter is focused on assisting professions. The goal of the work was to look at the issue from the point of view of assisting professions staff. To find out whether they are interested in the issue, what is their awareness, etc. This goal has been met. Conversations, for example, revealed that employees who are in everyday contact with people who live risky way of living (drug addicts, homeless people, etc.) are better aware of issue concering sexually transmitted diseases than respondents who work with children or seniors. None of the respondents underwent any additional training in this issue. The selected methodology was represented by quality research and the selected method was represented by partially controlled interview with six selected representatives from assisting professions. The overall knowledge will be used not only to find out but also the to complete or correct information on the issue for employees in assisting professions. Information on the issue can be further disseminated among clients via these professionals within primary prevention.

Evaluation of using contraconception for prevention against sexually transmitted diseases in adolescents of age from 15 to 18 years in České Budějovice.
DRAHOŇOVSKÁ, Kateřina
The issue of sexually transmitted diseases is not only a matter of health but also a social one and it poses a major problem especially for teenagers and young adults, who start their sexual life, because sexually transmitted diseases and their complications can permanently damage the reproductive health. Adolescents{\crq} sexual behaviour differs from the sexual behaviour of previous generations in many aspects. The trend now is, among others, shifting the age of sexual life initiation to lower ages than ever before. Therefore, it is important that young people know the risks threatening them in connection with sexual life initiation and how they can prevent them. This paper maps the attitudes of adolescents to the issue of sexually transmitted diseases and to contraception. The theoretical part deals with the characteristics of adolescence, the history, occurrence and description of various sexually transmitted diseases and their prevention with a focus on sex education and proper condom use, and it presents a comprehensive overview of this issue. This project work was realized in the form of a quantitative research, using a questionnaire survey, and the examined sample consisted of 200 secondary school students aged 15 to 18 years. As a partial method, a secondary analysis has been applied to the statistical data concerning the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases in adolescents aged 15-18 years in České Budějovice between 1999 and 2008. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the use of contraception to prevent sexually transmitted diseases among adolescents aged 15 to 18 years in České Budějovice, and this objective has been achieved. Practical use of this paper is in providing the text as a teaching material for the Faculty of Health and Social Studies and for publication in professional journals; the data obtained will be provided to the directors of the participating schools as a basis for the implementation of sex education and primary prevention programmes.
