Quality of life of children after oncological treatment
LUNDÁKOVÁ, Magdaléna
Cancer in childhood age comprises less than 1% of all diagnosed cancer cases. But is significant, because the childhood cancer is second in mortality, just after accidents. A theoretical part of the study characterizes childhood cancer and its treatment and introduces the term "quality of life". Two goals are set in this work. The first objective is to map the "quality of life" in cancer survivals. The second objective is to analyze how "the attitude towards life" is changed after cancer treatment and whether it differs from healthy children. In this thesis, a quantitative research was used. The standardized SF - 36 questionnaire "on quality of life conditioned by health" and the socio - demographic questionnaire WP 6 - socio - demographic data were used. Three hypotheses were established. H1: "Childhood cancer survivals appreciate their health more than children who did not go through any cancer treatment." H2: "Childhood cancer survivals suffer from cognitive disabilities in comparison to children who did not go through cancer treatment." H3: "Childhood cancer survivals have a more positive relationship to themselves than children who did not go through cancer treatment." The results of this research reveal that young cancer survivors have a similar quality of life as their healthy peers. This thesis should approach the quality of life of children after cancer treatment. The study will be presented at a Professional conference.

Injuries of children at home
POCHYLÁ, Petra
The theoretical part of this thesis is oriented at an actual issue of accidents involving children in home environment, their prevention and a correct provision of first aid by a non-professional at these types of selected accidents. The practical part of this thesis was led by a qualitative form of research, a method of a semicontrolled interview. The interview given was led by chosen caring people, who gave first aid to children with a home environment injury. The whole process of the interview was recorded at a digital record book and then rewritten to a text form, with the approval of the respondents. The respondents were chosen on the basis of a survey. The final information from the interviews were analyzed and subsequently summarized into results. Six respondents were registered into the research part. Six basic questions were given to the respondents. The questions were chosen to find out information about an injured child, an injury character, a procedure of caring person while giving first aid, or other professional care and permanent effects. While preparing the research part, I was expecting that most of the respondents would manage to give first aid, however, according to the results, half of the parents didn't know how to deal with giving first aid. Non- professional first aid, provided at the right time and done correctly, is one of the basic and essential steps to reverse the injured person back into the normal quality of life. This is why, all people should be able to give first aid without special equipment and tools. The aim of my thesis was to monitor the process of the caring person while giving first aid for selected accidents involving children in home environment. I gave myself one fundamental research question: What was the process of the caring person while giving first aid for accidents involving children in home environment? At the final evaluation and comparison of my results, I achieved the results, in most examined facts, which are presented in other different studies dealing with similar issues- children's injuries and giving first aid for accidents involving children.

SKALICKÁ, Terezie
This work refers to the questions of dying and death during the baroque epoche and is mainly focused on children?s age. It reflects the view of death and dying, conception of good death, notions of eternal life and the funeral ceremony. Within the context of infant age it ? above all ? inquires into infantile mortality, the connection between breast-feeding and the measure of mortality and the importance of baptism. It appears from demographic research on family and draws attention to the relation between the high measure of natality and mortality. It tries to find out causes of infant mortality ? population undernourishment, absence of medical care, easy spread of contagious diseases, wars and demographic crises, female condition and employment. It also inquires into the parents? attitude towards children and their death, and tries to disclose their intellectual and emotional life, whereto the analysis of memoirs by Alžběta Lidmila from Lisov helps distinctively. In relation to mortality it also doesn?t pass the situation of natural children.
