Diseases of nervous system caused by professional overloading of locomotor apparatus
Kozák, Šimon ; Hrnčíř, Evžen (advisor)
Results have shown that as far as overload diseases in the Czech Republic are concerned, the situation is far from satisfactory. The biggest number of such cases was registered in 1996-2000. In this period, incidence of overload diseases reached on average 350 cases a year. The highest occurrence was recorded in 1997, with 477 cases. In subsequent years (2000-2004) there was a fall and on average 280 cases were registered annually. In 2005, the incidence of overload diseases rose again to over 300 cases a year. I am of the view that the variation of overload diseases is caused by a number of reasons. Behaviour of individual employees is one of the main ones. As I have said, forced reduction of staff in many companies during the past years has increased their fears of the loss of job, which has led to the dissimulation of many health defects. One can see a seeming fall in the incidence of professional diseases due to overload diseases in general. One has also to take into account the problem that is in the background. Not all cases are really registered. As a result, we do not know whether the incidence in 2000-2004 was higher than in the previous years or perhaps similar. It seems likely that real numbers of recorded overload diseases do not correspond to the real number of afflicted persons. Due to this,...

Pain of Thermally Traumatized
Baron Aloisdóttir, Lara Dina ; Kozák, Šimon (advisor) ; Kulhavá, Miluše (referee)
The presented work deals with the issue of non-pharmacological pain relief in patients with thermal trauma. Burn pain is considered to be one of the worst, unlike common surgical pain due to numerous surgical procedures and often large dressing changes. The basis of pain treatment is pharmacotherapy, but an important part are also non-pharmacological methods that can be applied by nurses. The main goal of the study was to find out which available and easy-to-use non- pharmacological methods of pain relief are the most effective according to burn patients. The partial goals were evaluating the impact of fear and anxiety on pain and the question of whether patients' pain is adequately managed. The author's questionnaire, which was partly based on a survey conducted among the patients themselves, was used for the research. A total of 98.3% of respondents gave a positive evaluation of the adequacy of analgesia. Apart from analgesics, the following methods were then identified as the most effective: undisturbed sleep, relief position, rest, close people visits and interviews with the caring staff. The research confirmed that apart from quality sleep human contact is the most important for pain relief. In addition to relieving pain, it also affects the mental state of patients and helps reduce the...
