Primary and secondary prevention of breast cancer in women
WEISSOVÁ, Veronika
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in female population in the Czech Republic. In 2002 the Czech Republic joined most European countries and launched nation-wide mammography screening, enabling women to attend regular preventive examinations when they reach 45 years of age. In January 2014 they started to address women to invite them for preventive breast cancer examinations, as part of a nationwide information campaign. Mortality of this cancer has been decreasing in recent years, which can be explained by the increasing quality of treatment and earlier detection of the disease. Therefore, knowledge of primary and secondary prevention is very important. The theoretical part briefly describes the anatomy of female breasts, defines a malignant tumor, as well as epidemiological aspects of breast cancer. Another chapter is about prevention itself. In the secondary prevention I describe self-examination of breasts and the history and nature of mammography screening. I also present organizations implementing preventive programs aimed at breast cancer. The practical part includes research results, which were obtained through quantitative research questionnaires. The research group consisted of women who live in the Ústí region. The questionnaire consisted of 27 questions and was answered by a group of 150 women between 18 and 44 years old and 150 women over 45 years. I handed out these questionnaires in Ústí healthcare center and I also created an electronic questionnaire which I sent across social networks. Out of the 150 (100 %) questionnaires distributed in Ústí healthcare center, I got only 60 back and 58 of them were sufficiently completed for the needs of the research, the return was only 38.7 %. I received the remaining 242 questionnaires electronically. The aim of the study was to explore the awareness of risk factors of breast cancer of women in the Ústí Region and also to find out whether women in the Ústí region carried out self-examination of breasts and if women over 45 attended regular mammography screening. Based on my research aim I set out four hypotheses. Hypothesis 1: Women in the Ústí region are informed about the risk factors of breast cancer. Hypothesis 2: Women at the age of 18 to 44 in the Usti region are more informed about the risk factors of breast cancer than women in the age group over 45. Hypothesis 3: The difference in the frequency of breast self-examination among women in the age group 18 to 44 is statistically more significant than in women in the over 45 age group. Hypothesis 4: Attending mammography examination of women over 45 in the Ústí region rises according to their level of education. The results of testing my hypotheses show that women in the Ústí region are not informed about the risk factors of breast cancer. I assumed that awareness is higher among women in the 18 to 44 age group, but even this hypothesis wasn't proven. Awareness of risk factors is on the same level in category of 18 to 44 years as in women over 45 years of age. Regarding breast self-examination, women in the above 45 years old age group carry out self-examination more often than women 18 to 44 years old. Even the last hypothesis was not confirmed, attendance of mammography doesn't appear to depend on the education of women. Awareness of women needs to increase, especially in case of risk factors of breast cancer. Awareness increase could be achieved by greater information campaign on television, in newspapers, in businesses with high numbers of working women, or in secondary and higher education through various public lectures. Over 90% of women attend Mammography screening according to my research, which are laudable results. The fact that the actual self-examination of breasts isn't carried out at all by more than half of the women in the age group 18 to 44 is serious. This work could serve as teaching or study material to improve general knowledge of this topic.

Comparison of knowledge of Secondary Hotel School students in České Budějovice and Teplice on hygiene and sanitary requirements in catering services
WEISSOVÁ, Veronika
Students of secondary hotel schools are the most likely candidates to work in catering services because of their professional specialization. Graduates may work in the hospitality or hotel industry and are qualified for a job in catering and should be able to ensure compliance in hygiene, health and safety at work. This work is focused on students of the secondary hotel schools and their awareness of hygiene requirements in food services. The work is divided into two parts. The theoretical part defines catering service, its features and types. It also includes the legislation relating to hygiene requirements in food industry, describes the spatial requirements for businesses, personal and operational hygiene and the HACCP system. The work also briefly describes different ways of food preparation and possibilities to influence health safety and the most common foodborne infections in catering services caused by failing to comply with correct manufacturing and hygiene principles. This work describes sanitation (disinfection, insect and rodent control) and the performance of state health supervision of food hygiene. The practical part includes research results which were obtained by a quantitative questionnaire method. Questionnaires were distributed amongst students of third and fourth (the final) years of secondary hotel schools in České Budějovice and Teplice. Each questionnaire contained 25 closed questions; the data collection was conducted anonymously. 106 of the 110 distributed questionnaires were returned from the Secondary Hotel School in České Budějovice. 99 questionnaires were sufficiently filled in to meet the research needs, making the return of 90%. In the Secondary Hotel School in Teplice, 98 of the 100 distributed questionnaires returned, 96 were sufficiently filled in, making the return of 96%. The aim of this work was to determine the level of awareness of the hygiene requirements in food service at secondary hotel schools in Teplice and České Budějovice. Based on the objectives of the work I set two hypotheses. Hypothesis 1: Students of secondary hotel schools in Teplice and České Budějovice are not informed about hygiene requirements in food services. Hypothesis 2: Students of secondary hotel schools in Teplice and České Budějovice who are interested in working in catering services are informed about hygiene requirements for food services more than students who are not interested in such work. After testing the two hypotheses it is evident from the results that the students of secondary hotel schools in Teplice and České Budějovice are not informed about hygiene requirements in food services and that students of secondary hotel schools in České Budějovice and Teplice who are interested in working in catering services are more informed about the hygiene requirements than students who do not intend to work in the field. Based on these findings, it is important to educate students of secondary hotel schools continually, especially about the foodborne disease issues and also, to motivate them to work in catering services, because there are more than 50% of students who do not want to advance towards working in the industry at both schools. There was almost no difference between the knowledge of students in secondary hotel schools in Teplice or České Budějovice. Students of the Secondary Hotel School in České Budějovice were slightly better an the number of correctly answered questions. Only one question, concerning the E-coli outbreak in Germany, was correctly answered by most students in Teplice. This work could serve as a teaching resource improving knowledge in this field. The outcome of this work is a flyer for the secondary hotel schools students.
