The role of paediatric nurse in prevention of the CAN syndrome
KROUŽKOVÁ, Aneta
Abstract Current state: CAN (Child Abuse and Neglect) syndrome can be characterized as physical and psychological abuse, sexual abuse and neglect of a child. The most common perpetrators of such treatment are parents or family members. Domestic violence and bullying are also part of CAN syndrome. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate trends in the number of reported cases of violence against children in the Czech Republic within the observed period of 2012-2021, to describe parents' knowledge of the abused and neglected child syndrome, to describe parents' knowledge of the Shaken Baby Syndrome, to describe the role of paediatric nurses in the prevention of the abused and neglected child syndrome and to describe the role of paediatric nurses in the prevention of the Shaken Baby Syndrome. Methodology: A combination of a qualitative-quantitative research strategy was chosen for the empirical part of the thesis. For the quantitative data collection, the method chosen was secondary analysis of documents from the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs from the period 2012-2021. For the second part of the quantitative research, a questionnaire survey method was used using a non-standardized structured questionnaire. The data collection was partly carried out in the practitioners' offices for children and adolescents, and partly collected on the internet through forums for parents. A total of 212 questionnaires were collected. The method of semi-structured interviews was chosen for qualitative data collection. The research file consisted of six nurses working at practitioners' offices for children and adolescents. Results: In the period of 2012-2021, a total of 84 897 cases of abused and neglected children were reported to the register of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (100%). Neglect was the most frequent form of CAN syndrome (72%). 11.2% children suffering from CAN syndrome were mentally abused, 10.2% were sexually abused including children in prostitution and children used for pornography, 7.6% were physically abused. The representation of girls and boys was almost equal, with 51.5% of girls and 48.5 % of boys. The most abused and neglected age group of children were children aged 6-15 (55%). Statistical testing did not confirm the hypothesis that the number of reported cases of violence against children increased significantly in the period of 2015-2021 (p<0.830). A total of 212 parents participated in the survey and 43.9% of the respondents had experienced some form of CAN syndrome. According to the parents surveyed, the most at-risk groups of people who are at higher risk of child abuse, neglect or exploitation include: alcohol addicts; substance abusers; or sexual deviants. According to the respondents, the most frequent perpetrators of sexual abuse were stepfathers (87.7%) or uncles (66.0%). According to the respondents, symptoms of physical abuse include: bruises of different ages, change in the child's behaviour , burns, fractures or stab wounds. According to respondents, symptoms of child sexual abuse include: anal injuries, genital bleeding, behavioural changes, increased anxiety or aggression. Parents were most likely to agree with the statement that shaking their infant resulted in brain injury (4.4 ? 0.9), brain haemorrhage, death of the infant, or retinal haemorrhage. Parents' knowledge of Abused, Abused and Neglected Child Syndrome and Shaken Baby Syndrome did not vary significantly with their education (p<277) or age (p<406). Based on the interviews with primary care nurses, it can be concluded that the role of nurses in the prevention of CAN syndrome is to seek out children at risk for CAN syndrome and educate parents about Shaken Baby Syndrome. On the basis of the theoretical and empirical part, an informative material was designed CAN "syndrome" for parents and nurses in general practitioners' offices for children and adolescents.

The role of a nurse in preventing CAN syndrome
KADEŘÁVKOVÁ, Adéla
Abstract Current State: CAN (Child Abuse and Neglect) Syndrome is defined as physical and mental abuse, sexual abuse and neglect of a child. CAN syndrome is the result of an intentional activity of parents or other adults towards a child, the most extreme form of which is killing the child. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate the trends of CAN syndrome occurences in the Czech Republic within the observed period of 2008-2018, to describe nursing care for children suffering from the CAN syndrome, and to evaluate the role of nurses within the area of preventing this syndrome. Methodology: A combination of a qualitative and quantitative research strategy was chosen for the empiric part of the thesis. To collect data for the quantitative research the method of secondary analysis of MLSA documentation from the period of 2008-2018 was chosen. 79 340 cases of maltreated children were analysed. To collect data for the qualitative research, the method of semi-structured interviews was used. The research file consisted of nurses working at a paediatric clinic at a chosen hospital in Prague (10 nurses) and nurses working at practitioners´ offices for children and adolescents (5 nurses). The size of the research file was given by theoretical data saturation. Results: In the period of 2008-2018, 79 340 abused and neglected children were reported to the MLSA. The most frequent form of CAN Syndrome was neglect (65.8 %). 12.6 % children suffering from CAN Syndrome were mentally abused, 12% were sexually abused, and 9.6 % children were physically abused. Proportion of boys and girls was relatively balanced (48 % boys, and 52 % girls). The most numerous group of abused children according to their age were children aged 6-15 (56%). Statistical testing has proved the hypothesis that in the period of 2008-2018, there was a statistically significant growth in the number of children with the CAN Syndrome diagnosis (p<0,001). Addressed nurses came into contact with this syndrome within their practice, they were well educated within the area of symptoms, differentiation between individual forms of CAN, diagnosis, and risk factors leading to the CAN Syndrome. Nurses in both, primary as well as inpatient care play a significant role in preventing the CAN Syndrome. Nevertheless, as the interviews have proven, they do not educate all of the parents about this syndrome, they only do so in risk groups of parents and children. Conclusion and Recommendations for Praxis: The quantitative study that evaluated the statistical data coming from MLSA, has confirmed a significant growth the number of children suffering from the CAN Syndrome for the last ten years. Due to this fact, it is necessary to put greater emphasis on the CAN Syndrome prevention. Based on the results of the study and general recommendations, further recommendations for the management of nursing care have been designed, dealing specifically with the issues of prevention and nursing care after children suffering from the CAN Syndrome.

The forms of CAN syndrom - overview work
MARTÍNEK, Daniel
The presented bachelor thesis is written in the form of a review study. The main goal is to summarize the available scientific studies, research and information from the literature, both Czech and English, from 1992 to 2021, concerning the CAN syndrome. The content includes works from domestic and foreign literature. Scientific studies come from the scientific database Scopus, Research gate and JSTOR. Expert articles were obtained through Google Scholar. Sources that were available in Czech or English are used also from the book literature. It turned out that there are many studies and professional texts in this area abroad and, with a few deviations, they coincide in their content with the Czech ones. Based on the studied literature, the most common forms of CAN syndrome are defined, which are dealt with in the first half of the work. The professional articles included the consequences of these forms of CAN syndrome, signs of how to recognize these forms of the syndrome of an abused, mistreated and neglected child, as well as a description of their various forms. In addition to physical injuries, the main problem with CAN syndrome was the uncertain relationship with parents, which then affects children throughout their lives. Furthermore, the literature describes the forms of CAN syndrome, which they names as special and as new. These are incorporated in the work as three forms of the syndrome, which were in some literature marked as the classic ones. The first part of the theoretical work also processes statistical data that the sources contained. They showed that this syndrome is a relatively large problem both abroad and in the Czech Republic. Another area that appears in the literature is the therapy of CAN syndrome and a list of institutions that address this issue. The conclusions of this work can serve as a basis for education in the field of CAN syndrome, which is, as evidenced by published studies, a serious problem both in our country and all around the world.

Corporal punishment in raising children
BARTOŠOVÁ, Olga
The bachelor's thesis provides a comprehensive view of the issue of corporal punishment of children in the Czech Republic, even in the historical context. This topic has recently been widely discussed worldwide, and is timeless at the same time. In our republic, corporal punishment is still widely used as an educational tool. The question is when the Czech Republic will be ready to pass a law banning the use of corporal punishment. The work consists of two parts. The theoretical part explains important definitions such as upbringing, rewards, punishments and the possible consequences of inappropriate use of physical punishments. The practical part solves, in the form of quantitative research, the use of physical punishments in the upbringing of children of pedagogically educated respondents. I chose an electronic questionnaire as a method of data collection. The data were processed and converted into tables and graphs. It has established seven research questions that I try to find answers to.
