Sarvašová, Ivana ; Lukáčik, Ivan
Arboretum and botanical gardens are scientific and educational institutions that are closely connected with the development of science and the needs of practice. They are specific by the focus of the plant collections, the architectural solution, the location within the residential unit, region, etc. Arboretum Borová hora is a research and pedagogical workplace of the Technical University in Zvolen. The collections use primarily for pedagogical, scientific research and educational work in the field of dendrology and other biological disciplines. In contrast to other similar facilities, mainly autochthonous trees species grow here, which once grew in the forests of Slovakia, in their wide intra-species and geographical variability. Arboretum Borová hora has with a high probability changed the potential values of the landscape during its more than 55-year duration, especially in relation to the residence and their contacts with the landscape. The landscape character, natural components and characteristics of the arboretum are currently perceived as added value, which is used not only primary education, science and research of the faculties of the Technical University in Zvolen, but also environmental education of the general public in an experiential form.

The needs of patients in the dialysis program and the role of the nurse in this issue
CHYTRÁČKOVÁ, Aneta
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the needs of patients in a dialysis program and the role of the nurse in this issue. Two objectives were established for this bachelor's thesis: To map the needs of patients in a dialysis program, and to determine the role of the nurse in patients undergoing dialysis. The work is divided into a theoretical and empirical part. In the theoretical part, the anatomy of the kidneys is briefly described, as well as the reasons for kidney failure. Subsequently, various elimination methods are described and explained, along with nutritional and exercise measures. The transplantation procedure is also briefly described. Attention is paid to the needs of patients, nursing care, and education. The empirical part was processed using qualitative research through semi-structured interviews focused on patients undergoing dialysis and nurses working in the dialysis center. The research sample consisted of 13 patients and 9 nurses. To achieve the set objectives, five research questions were created: What are the bio-psycho-social-spiritual needs of patients in a dialysis program? How does dialysis treatment affect patients' lives? What is the level of patient education before starting dialysis treatment? What is the role of the nurse in satisfying the needs of patients in a dialysis program? What is the role of the nurse in providing information to patients in a dialysis program? Our research has shown that dialysis generally has a negative impact on the quality of life of most of our respondents. Respondents are most negatively affected by thirst, the time demands of dialysis, poor sleep quality, changes in social needs, and overall fatigue after dialysis. Additionally, our research has shown that nurses in the dialysis center primarily fill the role of provider of nursing care, educator, and advisor who also provides emotional support. The results of the research serve as informational material for patients in the predialysis program and as potential recommendations for nurses working in dialysis centers.

Education as a part of modern nursing in patients with heart failure
CHÁROVÁ, Martina
Introduction: The submitted bachelor's thesis deals with the issue of education of patients with heart failure syndrome. The theoretical part mainly contains a brief insight into the anatomy and physiology of the heart, which is followed by a detailed description of the heart failure syndrome, its division according to various criteria, types of its diagnosis, clinical symptoms, its consequences and methods of treatment. The theoretical part also contains the theoretical basis with an emphasis on modern methods of patient education in general, including special procedures for the education of patients with heart failure syndrome. The theoretical part on education also discusses, among other things, the possibilities of using information and communication technologies in patient education and the involvement of the aforementioned technologies in the care of patients with heart failure and in their treatment, i.e. the use of a remote version of education, monitoring and implementation of treatment. Target: The empirical part of the work deals with the influence of education on the awareness of patients with heart failure and the level of their knowledge about the said disease. The methodology: To carry out the research, a special questionnaire was created, through which data was obtained documenting the level and quality of currently conducted education of patients regularly visiting heart failure clinics, the extent of their knowledge about the mentioned disease, and the respondents' satisfaction with the content of the education and the methods of its implementation. Since the created hypotheses following the established research questions work significantly with the gender of the respondents, the aforementioned questionnaire contained a question regarding the gender of each individual respondent. The results: The answers of the respondents, obtained from several specialized workplaces, were subsequently subjected to statistical investigation. The results of the evaluation show that the gender of the respondents does not significantly affect the degree of their education and does not play a fundamental role in the evaluation of how satisfied the patients are with the education provided. Conclusion: On the basis of the obtained results, graphs were prepared, illustrating in detail the evaluation of the respondents' answers to the individual parts of the created questionnaire. The results of the work can serve as study material for any health professional or student who shows a deeper interest in this issue.

Finally, the theoretical part deals with the concept of education, educational methods, goals, and the relationship between the midwife and the educated women. The practical part of the thesis aimed to determine, how midwives educate women in the preoperative period. Qualitative research was conducted using anonymous semi-structured interviews. The research was carried out from February to March 2023 and data was collected from gynecology units in hospitals in České Budějovice, Liberec, and Jablonec nad Nisou. Two research samples were used: the first sample consisted of midwives who educate women in the preoperative period, and the second consisted of women who underwent gynecological surgery. Interviews with the informants were conducted with their expressed consent and were anonymous. The interviews were recorded on audio. The interviews consisted of eight basic questions and additional follow-up questions for midwives, and ten basic questions and additional follow-up questions for women. The acquired data were transcribed and subsequently analyzed using color coding. To evaluate the data, main categories and subcategories were established and included in the research section of the bachelor thesis. The first research sample consists of main categories (Education, Process of Education in the Preoperative Period) that contain subcategories (Importance of Education, Development of an Educational Plan, Education in the Preoperative Period, Women's Cooperation during Education, Feedback from Women after Education). In the second research sample, there are main categories (Education, Behavior of woman), which are further divided into subcategories (Process of Education, Change in Women's Attitude after Education, Perception of Education from the Midwife Assistant). The first research question aimed to investigate how women evaluate the knowledge they acquire. Informants Ž2, Ž3, Ž4, Ž5 were very satisfied with their education as a midwife and considered the acquired knowledge to be sufficient. The information was communicated to them clearly. However, informant Ž1 who received education from a midwife was dissatisfied. Informant Ž1 did not receive education in the preoperative period, which had a negative impact on her mental state. The overall communication between her and the midwife was also problematic. The second research question focused on how midwife educate women in the preoperative period. In the preoperative period, most of informants stated that they first educate about the functioning of the department, its equipment, and spaces. All informants further described how their education in the preoperative period proceeded. The education provided by all midwives was consistent and included all necessary aspects. The education of midwives included information regarding nutrition, elimination, hygiene, sleep, and pre-medication.

The practical part aimed to discover upper-secondary and tertiary education students' opinions about reproductive health. Further, two hypotheses were determined, which were formulated as follows. Hypothesis n. 1: The tertiary students perceive the need for reproductive health education from a midwife more than upper-secondary students. Hypothesis n. 2: Women perceive the need for reproductive health education more than men. Qualitative data collection was chosen on which the questionnaire was based. The questionnaire contained 41 questions (31 closed, 8 mid-closed, and 2 open ones). It was spread in online form through Google Forms application.

The research sample was composed of students between the age of 17 to 27 from numerous regions of the Czech Republic. Fisher exact test was used for data analyses of the formulated hypotesis. The level of significance was stated as follows alpha = 5 % (0.05). H1 was not confirmed. It was proven that interest in reproductive health education is not dependent on students´ education; either upper secondary or tercially education degree. Also, it was not confirmed that the reproductive health education is required to be performed by midwife. H2 was confirmed. Based on the analysis was proven that women require reproductive health education to be performed by midwife more than men. According to 87 % (182) respondents of our survey the reproductive health education should be included in upper-secondary and tertiary education but 5 % (11) of respondents would not include it at all and 8 % (17) was not sure. The survey has shown that the ideal learner should be an externally educated person in reproductive health. This person would suit 78.5 % (124) of respondents, 8.2 % (13) of students would like to have a doctor for education in this topic. However, 6,3 % (9) of students would like to have teacher from their school and only for 5.1 % (9) of students the midwife would be suitable. The rest of the students, 1.9 % (3) would like to have somebody else. The Bachelor thesis and the survey could be used for purpose of educational plans and materials in topic of reproductive health education for students.

Life of a patient after surgical treatment for malignant tumors of skin
KOLDOVÁ, Miroslava
Abstract: This thesis deals with lives of patients after surgical treatment for malignant skin tumours.The goal of the thesis: To find out how patients perceive their lives after surgical treatment for malignant skin tumours. To find out how patients are informed on regimen measures after surgical treatment for malignant skin tumours.Methodology and the sample set: Research questions were set on the basis of the chosen goals. How do patients perceive their lives after a surgical excision of a malignant skin tumour? How are patients informed on regimen measures after surgical treatment for malignant skin tumours? I chose a qualitative research strategy for the accomplishment of my survey, where the technique of semi-structured interviews was used for the data collection. The sample set consisted of 12 patients, who had undergone surgical treatment for malignant skin tumours. The patients were intentionally addressed by means of Facebook. The obtained information was processed by means of the paper-and-pencil method. Results: The survey has revealed that in their today's lives the patients feel limitation within the protection against the sun's UV radiation, which hampers them from their activities to the fullest. Their life values have changed and the perception of their own bodies deviated, they moreover fight permanent fear from the disease relapse. We have also found out that patients are insufficiently informed on regime measures, which is often caused by lack of time, empathy and willingness to give information on the side of healthcare staff. The ascertainment of these facts led me to preparation of an informational leaflet, which, apart from being useful for patients, can also serve as a complementary source of information for healthcare staff. Recommendations for the practice: I recommend that the issue of providing information and education in the care about patients with malignant skin disease should be included in the education for nurses. Recommendation of mutual cooperation with patients' family members is suitable.
