Possibilities of evaluating changes by women during the period of menopause and their effects on the quality of life
BELEŠOVÁ, Romana
Menopause is a period, which is perceived as a natural part of female lifecycle. The way how women experience this period is individual, it differs in the intensity of the experience which is influenced by a variety of factors. Among the most important factors belong the biological as well as genetic factors, lifestyle, family environment, relationships between people, job as well as ethnical and cultural influences. The above-mentioned factors contribute to the occurrence of symptoms and changes connected in the life of a female. Standardised tools that are used and helpful in the clinical practice should be reliable, sensitive, and specific to certain symptoms. The objective of this doctoral theses is to map the use of evaluating tools with women in the period of menopause, to analyse symptoms influencing the quality of life, to create educational program for women and to find out if education has an impact on the knowledge of women on the menopause issues. The research was carried out in combination of two research methods - quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative research was designed as a descriptive cross-sectional study. The design of the descriptive qualitative study was used for the qualitative research. For the methodology of the qualitative research the Standards for qualitative research were applied. For the quantitative research a research sample I was set up. It was composed of women with a permanent residence in the southbohemian region in the ages of 45-65. For these respondents three types of questionnaires were designed, the standardised WHOQOL-BREF, WHQ and the unstandardised questionnaire. The data analyses were executed via SASD programmes (Statistical data analyses) and SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). The qualitative research was realised in two phases. The first part of the research was carried out before the educational programme was realised and the second part took place 3 month after finishing the educational programme. For the purposes of the qualitative research analyses elements of embedded theory using open and axial coding were applied. There were two research samples that were subject to the qualitative study. The research sample II was composed of women in the ages 45-55. The research sample III composed of midwives working in the primary care. In midwifery in the clinical practice no measuring tools are used to evaluate the quality of life and health of women in menopause. Nowadays the evaluating scales are applied in research studies rather than in the clinical practice. In our quantitative study women evaluated the quality of life primarily as good. While evaluating the individual domains via the WHOQOL-BREF tool, women rated their physical condition the best and on the contrary the environment they live in the worst. When qualifying their health condition based on comparison of individual dimensions using the standardised WHQ tool, women mentioned the vasomotor symptoms as bothering and on the contrary, they rated anxieties/worries as not so bothering. In the qualitative part of the research women qualified the following symptoms as the most frequent: hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, corrupted sleep, gaining weight, mental and cognitive changes. Conclusion: In the framework of the study based on the results an educational brochure for women was created. The aim of this brochure is to provide information about the problematic of the menopause period, about the symptoms, about the diagnostics, about the therapy and about the regime precautions. At the same time as a part of the research an educational programme for women was prepared. This programme focused on climacteric symptoms, diagnoses, therapy and the use of regime precautions leading to relief from the menopause difficulties. In this field, midwives still play a significant role. Midwives should lead women to accept the positive approach to the issues of menopause period.

Kůtová, Kristýna ; Daďová, Klára (advisor) ; Pavlová, Ilona (referee)
Title: Quality of life in sitting volleyball players Objectives: The main goal of the thesis is to summarize and extend knowledge about sitting volleyball and to analyse quality of life in sitting volleyball players. Methods: For the analysis we have used standardized questionnaire from the World Health Organization in its short version named WHOQOL-BREF. 12 players (8 men, 4 women) with average age 40,6 years participated in the study. Results: The results of the questionnaire show, that quality of life in sitting volleyball players is better then quality of life of general population. We can deduce it from the fact, that their answers were better in three of four domains of the questionnaire (experiencing, social relations, surroundings). Only in the domain of physical health, sitting volleyball players showed worse results than general population, what could not be surprising due to their physical handicap. Keywords: paralympic sport, volleyball, resocialisation, amputation, WHOQOL- BREF

The relation between latent toxoplasmosis and schizophrenia
Sglundová, Markéta ; Flegr, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Holub, David (referee)
The relation between the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii and schizophrenia was studied and confirmed in several studies. There are proofs that latent toxoplasmosis deteriorates the course of schizophrenia. The goal of this study was to clarify whether there are differences between subjectively perceived quality of life of infected and non-infected psychiatric patients. We tested men and women from the PCP treated for the diagnosis of schizophrenia, who undertook serology blood tests for detection of anamnestic T. gondii antibodies. Patients also filled out two questionaires that assessed subjectively perceived quality of life - SOS-10 and WHOQOL-BREF. Patients filled out these questionaires twice, both at the start of the study before coming to psychiatric therapeutical institution and after one year. During the first testing were the questionaires filled out by 171 persons, after one year by 108 persons. Based on the results of these tests we found out that latent toxoplasmosis had a negative impact on subjectively perceived quality of life of schizophrenia patients, particularly on infected women. On the other hand, the quality of life of non-infected patients improved during one year. The effect of toxoplasmosis on quality of life was gender related, which could be explained by already...

The theory part focuses on the World Health organisation whose strategic aims of health care and standard of living are perceived holistically. The term standard of living is defined as well as the term educator. It includes all teachers at all types of schools, carers and teacher assistants.

The aim and the tasks together with the hypotheses are stated in the beginning of the research part. It is followed by the description of the method used, the definition of the target group and the research itself. The standardised questionnaire WHOQOL-BREF method was applied.

The results are compared with the general national average. It was shown that the standard of living of the target group (physical health, experience, and social relations), its perception and health contentedness are perceived as normal; the perception of the environment influence on standard of living decreased comparing it to the research of PhDr. Eva Dragomirecká?s team.
