Qualitative research in the aplication of desinfection and sterilization of nursing unit
KARBÁČOVÁ, Marika
Abstract The thesis focuses on the application of disinfection and sterilization in the surgical unit. These methods are an integral part of nursing care and they prevent creation, transmission and spread of infection. The qualitative research was carried out in the surgical department in the Hospital Prachatice a.s.. The method used in the research is an unstandardized in-depth interview, in the second phase extended to a structured observation. There were set three objectives. Objective 1: to determine the ways of application of disinfection in the surgical unit, Objective 2: to determine the ways of application of sterilization in the surgical unit, Objective 3: to determine whether nurses observe the principles of disinfection and sterilization in the surgical unit. On the basis of these objectives, there were formed three research questions: What types of applications are used for disinfection in the surgical unit? What types of sterilization applications are used in the surgical unit? What principles of disinfection and sterilization are observed in the surgical unit? From the results of the in-depth interview and observation, it was discovered that physical and chemical disinfection is applied in the surgical unit. The employees use the services of central sterilization. In the surgical unit, there is not used any type of sterilization, except of the pre-sterilisation preparation. While disinfection, the employees follow the correct procedure, but they do not always use the correct amount of disinfectant. As the possibility of improvement, I would suggest to carry out training and remind that the recommended concentrations of disinfectants are sufficiently effective. There is no need to increase their amount hence it increases the financial costs of the surgical unit.

Female Sterilization as a Form of Permanent Contraception
LOŠKOVÁ, Lucie
Efforts to avoid an undesired conception have been known for, perhaps, as long as the history of the human kind. The development of new birth-control methods as such is not a new discovery. What is new, however, is the wide development of all methods conceivable and their use. One of such new methods is, among others, female sterilization. So far, this method has not been used widely in the Czech Republic. The rate of sterilized women here reaches a little less than 3%. Compared to other countries where sterilized women account for as many as one third of women, the Czech Republic falls behind. Still, this does not mean that Czech women are not interested in sterilization. The current situation in which sterilization is unpopular is, to a large measure, the consequence of obsolete regulations as well as poor knowledgeability of the subject among the lay public and insufficient promotion of the method. The theoretical section of my thesis provides a summary of known facts about female sterilization. It elaborates on preoperative and post-operative care of women concerned, complications, as well as any potential dissatisfaction with the method and later applications for in-vitro fertilization. The practical part of my thesis is divided into two subsections. First focuses on women?s (public?s) informedness about sterilization, the other elaborates on the knowledgeability and experience of nurses / midwives in selected hospitals providing female sterilization. To get insight into the issue and to achieve the below objectives, I performed my survey research in the form of quantitative analysis. Specifically, the research was carried out using two types of questionnaires when the first one was given to women hospitalized in gynecology departments and the other was handed out to nurses/midwives working there. My research was conducted at the České Budějovice Hospital and Tábor Hospital. My work had 4 objectives and 4 therewith related hypothesis. The first objective was to find out the level of women?s knowledge about sterilization as a form of permanent contraception. The hypothesis ensuing from the first objective is: Women are informed about sterilization as a method of permanent contraception. Another objective was to ascertain whether women would consider having a sterilization done in the future. The second hypothesis is: Women older than 35 years prefer sterilization to other contraception methods. The third objective was to establish whether women know the relevant legal prerequisites to have sterilization done. The third hypothesis assumes that women are aware of the legal prerequisites to have sterilization done. The last objective was to find out in what form, if any, nurses / midwives inform patients on the possibilities of sterilization. The fourth hypothesis assumes that nurses / midwives do not inform gynecology department patients on the possibilities of sterilization. All the above objectives were accomplished. Hypothesis 1 and hypothesis 4 were confirmed. Hypotheses 2 and 3 were not confirmed. This bachelor?s thesis may serve as a study material for other midwife class years as well as for nurses / midwives working in gynecology departments who might provide relevant information and support to women considering having the relevant surgery. Last but not least, my thesis could also be used as an educational material for the lay public in order to improve general awareness of the contraception methods available.

Setting up a unified methodology for hygiene, disinfection, and sterilization at UZ, RTG, CT, MR and AG departments.
HLOUŠEK, Jan
The presented bachelor´s thesis {\clq}qSetting up a unified methodology for hygiene, disinfection, and sterilization at UZ, RTG, CT, MR and AG departments`` focuses on an area closely relatedto the field of radiology. The hygiene of the radiology ward, disinfection, and sterilization are an inseparable part of the work of the radiological assistant. In my thesis I wanted to set up guidelines for newly established wards specializingin imaging methods in order to easily tackle this issue. Some of the findings of this work may be applied also at established wards, for instance for the broadening of the range of their action. The risk of contamination by nosocomial infections in medical facilities is very high, especially in radiology wards where various people with different infectious diseases come into contact with hospitalised patients and people treated at outpatient wards. Each imafing method has its specific requirements and various hygienic demands. The evolution of diagnostic methods, new technologies and materials prompts the growing of the quantity of invasive and diapeutic operations, which leads to substantially increased risks. Medical facilities are not safe places for patients. Approximately each eighth to ten patient is infected with a nosocomial infection during hospitalisation. This is why every radiological assistant should maximise the elimination of all hygienic and epidemiological risks related to the performance of his profession by strict adherence to hygienic standards. The motto of every medical professional at work should be {\clq}qPrimam non nocere`` {--} First, do no harm.

Mode of delivery in women with a history of caesarean section
PISKORZOVÁ, Martina
The thesis is focused on childbirth management in women with a history of Caesarean section. Two objectives were stated. The first one was to found out the childbirth management in women with previous Caesarean section. The second one was focused on the women{\crq}s demand for sterilization during Caesarean section. The objectives were accomplished. To meet the objectives, hypotheses were stated. It was presumed that in women with a history of Caesarean section another pregnancy would be terminated by another Caesarean section. This hypothesis was confirmed. The second hypothesis assumed the women{\crq}s demand for sterilization during Caesarean section. This hypothesis was not confirmed. The research was conducted by the quantitative method using retrospective analysis of data obtained in the perinatological centre in hospital in České Budějovice, a.s. in the period between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2008.

Plasma discharge generated by surfatron with frequency 2,45 GHz
HOUSER, František
This diploma thesis deals mainly with utilization of plasma in technological aplications. The introductory part is apllied to the theoretical description of plasma generated by the surfatron. This launcher works with the frequency of 2,45 GHz and it is able to excite the surface wave, that sustains plasma column in a quartz tube. Plasma generated by surfatron was used for modification of surface properties of polyethylen to change its surface energy. By changing of surface energy it was reached of higher hydrophilicity. Plasma generated by surfatron was diagnosed in detail during experiments in a continual regime as well as in a pulse one with a help of a single {--} probe and a double {--} probe Langmuir measurement. In this diploma thesis there is discussed influence of pressure, power and other experimental options.
