Knowledge of the rights and obligations of patients in the provision of nursing care in primary health care
NOVÁKOVÁ, Lenka
This thesis deals with patients' rights in the provision of nursing care in primary health care and in particular patients' knowledge of them. The previously regular paternalistic relationship between doctor and patient is now replaced by a partnership approach, where the patient is a participant in the decision-making process as regards of his/her treatment. For this reason, it is essential that sufficient information are given to patient in order to make decisions and also in order to know and understand their rights. As primary health care tends to be the first point of contact between the patient and the health system, it is important that patients are made aware of their rights at this level of care. This paper aims to investigate the extent of patients' knowledge of patients' rights, whether familiarity with rights varies with the age of respondents and whether knowledge differs between men and women. A quantitative research design was used to meet the objectives of this thesis and a survey method in the form of a non-standardised anonymous questionnaire addressed to patients was used to carry out the research. The research was carried out in the registering health care providers for adults, i.e. in general practitioners' offices in the Tábor region. The hypothesis predicting a difference between men and women in knowledge of patient rights was not supported by the research, while the hypothesis predicting a difference in awareness of patient rights in different age categories was supported. The results of the empirical investigation revealed that knowledge of patients' rights was at a fairly satisfactory level, but only 12 % of respondents reported that primary care was the place where they had been introduced to the Patients' Rights document. We believe it is important that there is a change in this area and that primary care equips patients with knowledge of their rights before they progress to higher levels of the healthcare system.

Evaluation of the status and changes the availability of the primary health care of Czechia in GIS
Hořínek, Jan ; Štych, Přemysl (advisor) ; Brůha, Lukáš (referee)
This work is focused on evaluation the status and changes in the availability of primary health care in the Czech Republic. Primary health care in this case is divided into four groups according to specialty and surveyed the availability of the population from the whole republic to these doctors and at the same time the validity of the law which sets the availability of primary health care within 35 minutes. In the first part, individual theoretical parts, which are related to the topic and content of the work, are analysed. The next section describes the collection of used data. Another methodical part deals with data editing and processing. The last part contains the results and the evaluation which are illustrated in graphs as well as described. The graphical output is composed of maps (attachment) that show the local availability of the population to primary health care. The results provide not only the current state of primary health care, but also some estimates, how local availability can evolve over the coming years. The overall results are summarized in the conclusion. Keywords: primary health care, accessibility, network analysis, road network, GIS
