The first goal was to find out, if the pregnant women are satisfied with the provided prenatal care. As following goal was to discover, if women are satisfied with the information given about the course of pregnancy and procedures performed in the prenatal advice bureau. Afterwards, two hypotheses were set towards the goals. The first hypothesis is: "The multiparous women are satisfied with the prenatal care more than primiparas." This hypothesis is not valid. The second set hypothesis is: "Women with secondary and lower education are more satisfied with the given information than women with higher vocational or higher education." This hypothesis is valid. The questionnaire survey emerged that 66,3 % of respondent are overall satified with the provided prenatal care. However, with the given information in basic area of care in the prenatal advice bureau were not always satisfied approximately 10 % of respondents. On the other hand, with the information about the procedures performed were satisfied 66,4 % of respondents. The results of research in this bachelor´s thesis can serve as feedback for providers of prenatal care in the Czech Republic in order to increase the satisfaction of their clients.

Pregnant woman in prenatal care
KRTIČKOVÁ, Michaela
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of care for pregnant women in prenatal care. The thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part provides a summary of information about pregnancy, including its signs, classification, risk, dating and changes in the maternal organism during pregnancy. Attention is paid to prenatal care, its history, goals, system and examinations within prenatal care. The final theoretical passage deals with the role of the midwife in prenatal care and the education of the midwife in the prenatal clinic. The practical part of the bachelor's thesis aimed to find out: 1) what is the level of awareness of pregnant women attending antenatal clinics by midwives and 2) how much they understand the information provided. The research itself was carried out by means of a qualitative research survey in the form of individual semi-structured interviews. The research survey took place from March to April 2020. The research group consisted of 13 pregnant women attending prenatal counseling centers in Broumov and České Budějovice. Interviews with participants were conducted with their express consents, were anonymous and marked T1 to T13. The interview contained 17 basic questions and other additional sub-questions. The interviews were recorded on an audio recording, from which a literal transcript was made. Three categories and seven subcategories were identified for data analysis. The research showed that most pregnant women are satisfied with the method of transmitting information from midwives, but they do not have enough information about the course of the pregnancy. Most participants reported dissatisfaction with the scope of information provided in antenatal clinics and the need to seek information from other sources. Participants would welcome better communication and greater awareness of the pregnancy process from both the midwife and the doctor. Research has shown that pregnant women do not have sufficient knowledge about pregnancy, lifestyle during pregnancy, changes in the body accompanying pregnancy, or the reasons for examinations performed during prenatal care. The bachelor thesis demonstrates the importance of sufficiently informing pregnant women about the issue of pregnancy and prenatal care. It emphasizes the importance of access and communication by medical staff for the effectiveness of prenatal care. The work should help to bring prenatal care closer to future pregnant women and can help midwives to improve the quality of prenatal care provided and to inform pregnant women more appropriately.

Pregnant in Lima: female body, social stratification and urban space
Přibyláková, Martina ; Brož, Luděk (advisor) ; Sokolová, Věra (referee) ; Hrešanová, Ema (referee)
How is the experience of pregnancy in a patriarchal society shaped by pregnant women's socioeconomic status? So far, qualitative studies have primarily focused on the effect of socioeconomic status in healthcare, and unintended conception in poor adolescents. Based on a 17-month comparative ethnography conducted in Lima, the hyper-stratified capital of Peru, this dissertation addresses experiences of women of different socioeconomic dispositions including conception, abortion, and (inter)personal lived pregnancy experience. The dissertation employs the concept of reproductive habitus to reflect on the differing classed and gendered dispositions in women of different socioeconomic statuses as an embodiment of institutions: the institution of patriarchy and healthcare institutions. The dissertation identifies status-related reproductive dispositions/differences in forming pregnancy experience in four areas: (i) in women's conception circumstances primarily in terms of pregnancy (non)intentionality, women's childbearing age span, relationship status (integrity), and male partner (non)abandonment (desertion). Socioeconomically differing conception circumstances produce psycho-physiologically different human subjects. (ii) Women's reproductive habitus is expressed in women's possibilities of safe...

The opinions of pregnant women of current possibilities of prenatal diagnosis.
DYKOVÁ, Iva
This bachelor thesis deals with the view of pregnant women on prenatal diagnosis. Prenatal screening includes many tests, where the aim is the versatile safety of pregnant women.The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis focuses on the pregnancy period which for most women is the most beautiful period during which the fetus develops in her organism.The purpose of prenatal care is primarily the consistent prevention of any possible pathological situations and timely capture of deviations from the normal course of gestation, with ensuring all available diagnostic and therapeutic measures. The goal of the prenatal diagnosis of congenital developmental defects is to detect congenital developmental defects as soon as possible and to help further approach strategy to pregnant women.Prenatal diagnosis is nowadays an integral part of prenatal care. It is subject to great demands in terms of safety and accuracy.The ethical viewpoint of prenatal diagnosis is just as important as technology by which testing and invasive performance tests are carried out. Prenatal genetic diagnosis has several important ethical issues. An important ethical procedure is proper information and consent of the pregnant woman to the testing, the interpretation of results, maintenance of privacy, medical confidentiality, the impossibility of abusing identified results, availability of further examinations and follow-up treatment at the highest level. The termination of gravidity in the event of statuses incompatible with life, or with permanent damage of the fetus, may be carried out solely at the request of the pregnant woman. The fundamental ethical issue is whether the fetus is regarded as an individual human being. Another dilemma resulting from this is whether a woman can take a decision for herself and the fetus, or whether the fetus is already a human being with its own rights.Furthermore, the theoretical work is devoted to the role of midwives in prenatal care. When providing care for pregnant women in the Czech Republic, the most commonly applied system is the close cooperation of the midwife with the physician. An integral part of the work of a midwife is the identification of anamnestic data by the nursing process method relating to pregnant women in the somatic, psychological, social, and also in the spiritual area. The objective of the bachelor thesis was to find out how pregnant women perceive testing carried out during pregnancy and how they experience situations where the invasive testing of congenital developmental defects of the fetus was recommended to them. The qualitative investigation using the interview method was used for the research investigation. An in-depth structured interview was selected for the data collection technique. The research group was composed of five pregnant women who had a positive screening to congenital developmental defects in I. or II. trimester and had to decide whether to undergo or not invasive testing to detect congenital developmental defects of the fetus. The research results have shown that women consider pregnancy screening tests as a compulsory part of the care for pregnant women. Women perceive non-invasive testing as safe and beneficial for both the fetus and the woman herself. Invasive testing is perceived by most of the women as beneficial despite all risks. During interviews we also met a woman who wouldn't accept any risks and therefore refused invasive testing. Despite the fact that every woman has the right to refuse such testing, this respondent noted how inappropriately most of the doctors and midwives were behaving towards her afterwards. The results also showed that women to whom invasive testing had been recommended experienced fear for the child and future pregnancy. According to the respondents, information in prenatal counselling proved to be clearly insufficient.
