GLÜCKSELIGOVÁ, Lenka
This thesis examines the motion mode and circadian typology of village children under younger school age. In the theoretical part I have summarized findings on circadian rhythms, sleep, its disorders and sleep hygiene. Other chapters deal with physical activity and its relationship to health. Attention is also paid to the characteristics of the younger school age period and its development in the physical and psychosocial context. Research part brings the latest results of a questionnaire survey, to which I have used "Questionnaire of living rhythms and sleep regime 9 - 15 years" (Krejčí, Harada, 2010) and "Time shot of the day" (Mužík, Bártová, 2010). In the thesis there are compared two companies of the younger school age children - boys and girls from the three selected village schools. At the inconsiderable group of children I have found out disrupting of circadian hygiene with limited quality of sleep especially at weekend, irregular slightly and unbalanced food and increased intensity of playing computer and display games, particularly at boys. In the area of physical activity there were not found out worrying deficiencies.

Position and Responsibilities of Parents in Relation to Mandatory Vaccination
FANFULOVÁ, Iveta
The BA thesis deals with the attitudes of parents to compulsory vaccination. The aim was to find out what the attitudes of parents to compulsory vaccination are in České Budějovice. The thesis is divided into two independent parts. A content analysis of relevant documents was used in the theoretical part which also explains and defines concepts associated with the above mentioned subject. The theoretical part is followed by research which was carried out by means of a survey, i.e. a semi-structured interview technique. At the same time, a method of observation, i.e. a technique of structured observation with pre-defined observed phenomena, was also employed. A total of 10 parents living in České Budějovice took part in the research. A main research question was set, and so were four subsidiary questions which were necessary for its answering and which focused on what experience parents had with compulsory vaccination, on the assessment of the current vaccination system, on the behaviour of parents in the case of a transfer to voluntary vaccination and on possible objections to compulsory vaccination. The results of the research show that a majority of the chosen parents has a positive attitude to compulsory vaccination and that most parents agree with preserving its compulsory character. At the same time they responded that if this vaccination were to become voluntary, they would nevertheless have their children vaccinated. The BA thesis and the results of its research can serve as a source of information for parents who are interested in the issue of compulsory vaccination.

Bone metastases
MELICHAROVÁ, Miroslava
This bachelor's thesis deals with the topic ?Bone metastases?. The topic is split into the theoretical and practical part. To understand better the whole topic, I describe in the theoretical part at first the general anatomy of the bone tissue, subsequently the structure and growth of bones. There are described individual types of bone shapes. Also the process of occurring metastases or primary tumors in surrounding tissue is described, way of spreading and growth of tumor cells in the bone tissue is specified. Moreover I specify the occurrence of bone metastases and their diagnostics. In the diagnostics we notice at first the clinical symptoms bringing the patient to the physician. Three targets were determined for this thesis. The first target was to find out the most frequent places of occurrence of bone metastases. The second target was to find out the most frequent diagnostic method. And the third goal was to find out the most frequently used type of treatment during the occurrence of bone metastases. Also research questions were postulated. Research question No. 1: Do the bone metastases occur most frequently in the parts of red bone marrow with a rich blood circulation? Research question 2: Are the bone metastases diagnosed more frequently at women? To acquire the results, the databases of patients of the hospital České Budějovice a.s. and the hospital Na Homolce in Prague, radio-diagnostics, radiotherapy wards and ward of nuclear medicine were used. In the radio-diagnostic ward in České Budějovice and in Prague it was necessary to go through the records of all the diagnosed patients who underwent X-ray, CT and MR examination in the years 2011, 2012 and the subsequent records of data of patients with described (by physicians) occurrence of meta-static process in skeleton. There are among the necessary recorded data: age, sex, primary diagnosis, location of bone metastases and the applied examination method. In the practical part of the bachelor's thesis, these data were processed in diagrams and subsequently answers to set targets and research questions were formulated. In the radio-therapeutic wards the records of patients with indication of palliative radiation for the year 2011, 2012 were checked and in case of finding a patient radiated by palliative method due to occurrence of bone metastases the information concerning the age, sex, primary diagnosis, location of bone metastases and the applied radiation method (targeted or half-body radiation) were recorded. The acquired information was processed into diagrams in the practical part of bachelor's thesis again. Unfortunately, from the department of nuclear medicine no information about the amount of performed bone scintigraphy for metastatic process in skeleton were acquired, only information about patients treated by radio-nuclides. The answer to the research questions 1, ?whether the most frequent place of bone metastases is the part of red bone marrow with a rich blood circulation? was given already in the information about the most frequent location of bone metastases, as in the adult age, the red bone marrow occurs most frequently in the vertebra bodies, pelvis bones, breast bone, rips, flat bone of scull and long bones, where the red bone marrow occurs in the joint ends and based on my research, the metastases were located most frequently in these places. The answer to the research question 2: ?Are the bone metastases diagnosed at women more frequently?? It followed from my research that more bone metastases were diagnosed at men. Also the information leaflet for lay public was elaborated to my bachelor thesis informing of symptoms, diagnostic methods and treatment of metastatic process in bones.

Foreign language as a communication barrier in intensive care
Zachová, Eva ; Mellanová, Alena (advisor) ; Svobodová, Dita (referee)
This diploma thesis analyzes if there is communication barrier with foreign patients at the selected intensive care units. We dealt with question whether hospital employees perceive communication with foreigners as a problem or not and how can they solve the problem. The first (theoretical) part is devoted to the role of communication in nursing process and to the definition of term communication barrier. In next chapters we have analyzed the profile of multicultural nursing. Then we focus on the issues of cross-cultural communication and communication barriers in contact with foreigners and the most common causes and techniques used to deal with such situations. We pay great attention to prevention and potential solutions to barriers between cultures and ethnic groups. The motivation for the thesis was supposed effecto of communication gaps on health and higher psychological burden on staff, especially when one of the basic activities of nurses is to educate patients. Research interprets the information obtained from a self-designed questionnaire survey. Questionnaires were distributed to intensive care and resuscitation units in four hospitals in Prague. Statistical evaluation of the questionnaires either confirms or refuses the hypothesis that I set at the beginning of the research. According to...

Nursing Care Particularities in Children Admitted to Hospital with Autism
SCHÖNBAUEROVÁ, Andrea
The topic of the thesis is the Nursing Care Particularities in Children Admitted to Hospital with Autism. In the theoretical part is found the description of autism causes, clinical manifestation, diagnostics, basic therapeutic measures and nursing care in such children. The thesis has set three goals: Goal 1- finding out problems concerning the hospital admittance of an autistic child. Goal 2- determining the specific features of nursing care in children with autism. Goal 3- creating an informative brochure that would help nurses to gain basic information necessary to provide expert nursing care to autistic children. To gain these goals, a method of qualitative research and the technique of standardized interviews were used. In the frame of the research, two research samples were used. The first one consisted of nurses who work in children´s psychiatric wards and children´s neurologic wards. These nurses were chosen deliberately as they care about autistic children regularly and have a lot of experience in this branch. Altogether ten interviews were conducted and were recorded on the record keeping sheet and consequently processed. The other research sample were mothers of children in whom autism was diagnosed and who experienced hospital admittance either as a diagnostic stay or in connection with acute treatment. Also here ten interviews were conducted. After the completion of qualitative research answers to the set research questions were gained: Research question 1 finds out what are the specific features of nursing care in children with autism. On the basis of the research, it was concluded that nursing care in autistic children has some specific features such as communication, observing rituals, the necessity of a parent´s company, as well as the psychical burden both of children and staff. Research question 2 focused on finding what problems are connected with the hospital admittance of an autistic child. On the basis of the conducted interviews, it was concluded that the biggest problems concerning hospital admittance apply to children´s aggressivity, difficult adaptability to environment changes and problems that occur after the experienced admittance. Further on, it was concluded that also children´s individuality is a serious problem that has to be taken into consideration during nursing care. Research question 3 found out how nurses assess parent´s presence during the admittance of autistic children. All nurses perceive the parent´s presence highly positively. They see the most benefits in passing important information to nurses, accompanying the child during the whole period of admittance, helping with the adaptation to a new environment, providing the common daily care including spending free time and giving the child the feeling of safety and assurance. Research question 4 deals with nurses´ feelings when nursing autistic children. The provided information is individual. The research has found that nurses feel well, do not see problems and the work is routine for them. Negative feelings are influenced by circumstances concerning mood, tiredness or demanding communication with parents. Further, it was concluded that nurses feel insecurity in the period when they start working with autistic children or during the first contact with the child. With regard to high disorder prevalence in the population, it is essential for nurses to know basic information concerning autism and adopt the basis of nursing care in children with this disability type. In this connection, an information material was created that has to help nurses to acquire basic information necessary to provide expert care to autistic children.

The role of nurses in the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases
CICHROVÁ, Lenka
The thesis seeks to examine the role of nurses in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Today, CVD are one of the most frequent causes of death in adults worldwide. In Europe they are involved in up to 40% of deaths annually. These diseases affect the heart and blood vessels and can occur in several forms, such as ischemic heart disease, stroke or high blood pressure. Therefore, primary prevention is a vital part of nursing interventions. Prevention of CVD is closely linked to the awareness of risk factors. Hence, it should be aimed at proper handling of such factors or possible treatment. The work is composed of two parts, the first part being theoretical and the second practical. Two objectives were set for this thesis. Firstly, to map out the role of nurses in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases; secondly, to determine whether nurses in GP surgeries are involved in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The following research questions were defined: ?What is the main role of nurses in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases???How do nurses in GP surgeries engage in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases???Do nurses in GP surgeries use the SCORE risk charts??The qualitative research revealed that nurses are most often involved in the prevention of CVD as proper lifestyle educators and monitors of blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose. It was also found that nurses in GP surgeries engage in primary prevention of CVD. The thesis records interviews carried out with nurses, describing the interviews in the results. The most common and most interesting responses are given in tables. The results of the thesis can be used as a source of information on proper primary prevention of CVD in GP surgeries. This information was used to create guidelines for nurses on how to proceed in the primary prevention of CVD.

Evaluation of Entrepreneurial Opportunities in the Context of Entrepreneur's Experience and Opportunity Type
Vydláková, Pavlína ; Lukeš, Martin (advisor) ; Andera, Michal (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to find out how start-ups or beginning entrepreneurs evaluate business opportunities. More specifically, the intention is to reveal whether their assessment of business opportunities differs in some way depending on the type of opportunity. It was then examined how the assessment of business opportunities differs from the perspective of beginning versus experienced entrepreneurs. This comparison used the research results of Laboutka (2010), who examined the assessment of the opportunities of experienced entrepreneurs. The research method used was a qualitative research using case studies that reflect business opportunities. Based on the investigation it was found that beginning entrepreneurs mostly reflect personal feelings related to that product or segment in evaluating opportunities and the type of opportunity does not play a major role. When comparing beginning and experienced entrepreneurs, there were not identified any significant differences in their assessments.
