Motivation sources of mental health support in preadolescents - girls
MACOUNOVÁ, Iva
The bachelor thesis deals with the motivation sources supporting mental health in pre-adolescent girls. The theoretical part of the work includes findings on health as a whole and from several different points of view. An independent chapter is dedicated to the definition of the term mental health and its determiners, focusing mainly on sleep. The major part of the theoritical section of the work deals with the characteristics of pre-adolescent girls and a description of the changes in this stage of development. The research section is concerned with the results and data obtained from the intervention programme, which was created in cooperation with Eliška Šindelirová and subsequently applied to the 6th and 8th forms of primary school. The programme was aimed at mapping the state of sleeping habits among pre-adolescent girls and the subsequent motivation and support of correct sleeping habits. All the results which were possible to obtain within the frame of the entire intervention programme are presented in the research section. It was proved that pre-adolescent girls don{\crq}t follow the sleep regime appropriate to their age, but computer games are not the reason for the lower sleep quotas. Based on the results, we recomend the inclusion of the topics of sleep problems within hours of health education curriculum in primary schools.

Sleep disturbances in old age.
VÁLOVÁ, Hana
The topics of the thesis are sleep disturbances concerning old age. Sleep is the basic human need, accompanying our life from pre-natal period to death. It is a natural and essential part of our life; it is of cardinal importance for the comfort of each human being. It is a necessary condition for keeping and maintaining physical and psychical health. The absence of sleep leads to serious disturbances. The sleep and its need are individual; it develops in the course of life, but gradually the number of sleep disturbances increases. In opposition to traditional opinions that an old person needs less sleep, it was found out that the total need of sleep does not change much. The observations proved that some old people sleep more than in their young age. In the theoretical part, sleep, its significance, the need of sleep, particular phases and factors influencing it are defined. Further, the disturbances of sleep, their causes, division and treatment are described. It deals with the sleep of the elderly and the role of a nurse supporting and making good quality sleep during the nursing process. Three objectives were stated. The first was to find out sleep habits of the elderly hospitalized in the Hospital Písek, Inc., the second mapped the disturbances of sleep in the clients-the elderly in the Hospital Písek, Inc. The third found out whether the hospitalized clients-the elderly have good conditions for the inducing of sleep. Three hypotheses were stated. The first: ``Clients have sleep habits``. The second supposed that: ``The most frequents sleep disturbances in clients-the elderly is the early waking up. The third hypothesis: ``Clients-the elderly have good conditions for the inducing of sleep``. Quantitative research was chosen to reach the objectives of the thesis and proving the hypotheses. The data collection was carried out by the method of a questionnaire on clients-the elderly in in-patient wards in the Hospital Písek, Inc. After the elaboration of the research part and following assessment it was found out that the first hypothesis-the presence of sleep habits, and the third hypothesis-good conditions for the inducing of sleep, were proved, but the second hypothesis-early waking up, was disproved. Although the results of the research are relatively optimistic, it is surely important to devote further attention to the problems of sleep disturbances in the elderly because sleep is not that natural and obvious for many of them. The person who does not sleep has not enough power, energy and is not able to manage routine daily activities or resist some illnesses. Problems appear in the individual with sleep disturbances and also in the people who are in contact with this individual.

HRMOVÁ, Eliška
The actual observations from this work could be used in the process of teaching: for example in the subjects as health education. The basic necessity is knowledge and categorization of the circadian rhythms which largely affect our general life and behavior. This issue includes the basic natural questions like sleeping process. Although the knowledge about sleep is applied in various spheres its importance is enormous. In common civilian life we deal with the meaning, disorders and the influence upon activity and well-being. Application of these facts in primary education will set up natural approach to health and performance by preadolescents, adolescents and adults. This work is focused on the analysis of the circadian rhythm and sleep schedule of the Czech and Japanese preadolescents and adolescents. I apply the qualitative research. The main tool of the data collection is the questionnaire of daily routines and sleep rhythms. The result of this work is to identify bad habits in non-sleep mode, the associated poor sleep hygiene, and irregular in catering especially for the younger girls in preadolescence age.

The incidence of musculoskeletal disorders in sport horses
ŠTĚRBA, Jakub
The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of locomotive organs disorders in sports horses. The locomotive organs condition is one of the determining factors of horse{\crq}s performance, thus it is also very important economical factor. The occurrence of the disorders is important not only for the given individual, but it can be used e.g. as the genetic information or the indicator of breeding management. The results of 151 horses in the age from 3 to 24 years were observed. Total of 10 radiographic images were evaluated in each horse. With respect to frequency and importance, following disorders were emphasized: occurrence and degree of modifications of navicular bone (navicular syndrome) and hock joint (bone spavin). Others modifications were observed on a smaller range. The results showed that only 11% of horses were free of any disorder. 89% of horses had at least one of the disorders, whereas 83% of them showed the disorder of navicular bone and 52% of them showed the disorder of bone spavin.

Comparison of circadian typology and circadian rhythms of female pubescents - sportsmen and nonsportsmen
FIŠEROVÁ, Monika
Circadian rhythm is biorhythm. This rhythm influences activity of some organs and releasing of hormones. Effective alternation of activity and resting in organism is influenced too. Highest body temperature of human body is physiologically in evenings, in association with activity. Preference of evening typology in sportsmen can have negative impact for shortening of sleeping time and forming of sleep deprivation. This condition may cause quicker incidence of civilizing disease and diseases occurred in elderly, including psychological problems. There are compared two groups of girls in pubescent age, from 9 to 15 years old - sportsmen and nonsportsmen in this thesis. The main aim is to find out, if the sportsmen group is more evening typology. "Questionnaire of life rhythms and sleeping habits 9 - 15 years" (KREJČÍ, HARADA, 2010) was used in this study. There were collected 35 questionnaires from both groups. Evaluation was done by arithmetic mean and statistical tests were figured at University of Kochi by dr. Takeuchi, Japan. Girls of both groups don't show significant difference in morning or evening typology, but GS insignificantly show inclination for morning typology. GS eats regularly and has regular breakfasts. Girls of GS insignificantly showed worse results in mental health, than control group (KS). But better sleep quality showed GS. BMI was lower in GS. My prediction, that GS is tent to evening typology was not validated. Morning life style of the people with morning typology is more contributive for health. Duration of sleep of the girls of both groups is not sufficient in this age. Girls of GS sleep shorter time than KS. Program of intervention aimed to improve sleeping hygiene would be profitable for GS.

Observance of sleep hygiene among nurses and students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies
CHMELÍKOVÁ, Petra
Currently, due to a hasty lifestyle, sleep hygiene is a very frequent topic. Inappropriate sleep hygiene often causes insomnia and other sleep disorders. The survey shows that the nurses working in the hospital do not observe sleep hygiene rules whereas the students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies do. The most frequent factor preventing the nurses from the observance of the rules of sleep hygiene is the three-shift operation. The most common fault interfering with sleep hygiene rules among the students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies are bad thoughts before they fall asleep. The objectives of the thesis were fulfilled. Three hypotheses were proved, only one hypothesis was disproved.

The need of sleep by patients with cardiovascular disease in ICU
KABEŠOVÁ, Jitka
Lately, attention has been focused on sleep problems. Poor quality sleep, insomnia or intentional sleep shortening are risk factors for cardiovascular disease development, overweight, diabetes and mental disorders. During hospitalization in the ICU the sleep quality in patients usually worsens not only because the disease itself but also owing to other factors, such as fear, anxiety, lack of information on the disease, unfamiliar environment or noisy monitors. The theoretical part is divided into five basic chapters as follows: sleep characteristics, the issue of sleep, cardiovascular disease, meeting sleep needs in patients in the cardiologic Intensive Care Unit and the intervention of a nurse in meeting sleep needs in the sleep laboratory. I set two objectives in my thesis: The first objective: to learn if sleep needs in patients in the cardiologic Intensive Care Unit are met. The second objective: to identify factors influencing the fulfilment of sleep needs in patients in the cardiologic Intensive Care Unit. Two hypotheses were suggested: The hypothesis I: sleep needs in patients hospitalized in the cardiologic Intensive Care Unit are not met, The hypothesis II: the most percieved factor influencing sleep in patients in the cardiologic Intensive Care Unit was the change of environment. To achieve the objectives I used the questionnaire method. The research set included patients hospitalized in the cardiologic Intensive Care Unit in the České Budějovice hospital, Inc. The obtained data analysis shows that sleep needs in patients hospitalized in the cardiologic Intensive Care Unit are not met. The most stressful factors are: the change of environment, monitor noisiness, lights switched on at night, uncomfortable beds and anxiety. The hypotheses were confirmed. The objectives of my thesis were accomplished. In the closing part of my thesis I suggest some solutions to improve patients´ feelings and meet their sleep needs, such as dim lights at night, turned down monitoring apparatuses alarm, patients activation during the day, a calming dialogue with the patient, bed making and airing the room before night. I also enclose some attachments treating the issue of sleep needs.

Problems of morning waking up patients in the hospital and it´s influence on a patient
BERÁNKOVÁ, Barbora
The thesis deals with problems of morning waking up of patients in the ward and its influence on a patient. Morning waking up of patients is a situation faced by everyone who find themselves in a hospital {--} both a hospital employee and a patient. It is an everyday activity, although it may be one of great problems for hospitalized patients. The first aim of my thesis was to find out how morning waking up is perceived by patients hospitalized in a standard hospital ward. The second aim was to identify negative factors connected with morning waking up of patients hospitalized in a standard hospital ward. The third aim was to learn whether nurses working in a standard hospital ward respect the needs of their patients concerning morning waking up. The aims were fulfilled with the help of a questionnaire. A group monitored was formed by patients of an internal ward block. Three hypotheses were determined for these aims. Hypothesis one confirms that hospitalized patients are satisfied with morning waking up in a standard ward. Hypothesis two confirms that the most frequent factor concerning morning waking up with patients hospitalized in a standard ward is the time of waking them up. Hypothesis three confirms that nurses working in a standard ward respect the patient´s needs concerning morning waking up. The results will be handed over to senior executives of the ward where the research was carried out. They will have an opportunity to consider the problem of morning waking up of patients in their ward and, as the case may be, they can improve the situation.

Sleep disturbances of clients in old people´s homes
HADAČOVÁ, Jana
Abstract This bachelor work entitled ``Sleep disorders with clients in senior homes{\crqq} has been chosen in order to study the development of sleep in elderly. Sleep is an integral part of our lives, and our need for sleep changes with increasing age. We sleep not only to rest and regenerate our strenth, but also in order to maintain mental and physical health. The need of sleep is very individual and depends among other things on daily activity, age and the overall condition of the organism. The character of sleeping changes with increasing age and it is difficult to decide in individual cases whether the actual problems are normal or already pathological. The quality of sleep is negatively affected by factors such as greef, loneliness, enxiety or change of environment. The elderly generally tend to retire to rest earlier in the day, they however take longer to fall asleep, often wake up during the night, rise early but on the other hand nap during the day. For better classification of sleep disorders, a new version of the International Classification of Sleep Disorders {--} ICSD, was conducted in 1990, in colaboration with several associations and organisations researching these disorders. Sleeping disorders can, according to the international classification, be devided into primary disorders, such as dyssomnia and parasomnia, and secondary disorders connected to somatic or mental ilnesses. The causes of sleep disorder can vary greatly and therefore the diagnostics must be thorough. Here, nurses also greatly participate to the diagnostics. This research was conducted in order to find out what types of sleep disorders clients of senior homes suffer from, whether they are informed about the topics and how suitable their sleeping environment is. The hypothesis that clients in senior homes suffer from sleeping disorders has been proved. The hypothesis that client are informed about the problem has been proved as well, but with a very small difference from the opposite hypothesis. The hypothesis about the lack of knowledge for methods for obtaining quality sleep has been proved, while the hypothesis that client have suitable environment for sleeping has been disproved. The role of nurses is very important here, as they are always close by. They should be involved in the problems the clients have and they should try solving them by other methods than pharmacologically. Nurses should be sufficiently informed about the sleeping disorder problem and know how to use the knowledge in practical situations. Sleep is after all important for a total regeneration of the body and for regaining vitality.
