The diploma thesis deals with health literacy of employees. Health literacy throughout the Czech Republic is very low. The diploma thesis has one goal: To map the health literacy of the employees. I chose three hypotheses in my research. Hypothesis 1: The expected health literacy of the staff of the selected teams is inadequate. Hypothesis 2: Women show higher levels of health literacy than men. Hypothesis 3: The level of health literacy depends on the level of education. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part defines the concept of health literacy, methods of development of health literacy, health promotion and prevention, including determinants of health and health of the population of the Czech Republic. Part of the work is also devoted to the work environment, risk factors and occupational medical care. The practical part was processed using the quantitative survey method using questionnaires. The data needed for the analysis were obtain from respondents from selected collectives who were informed about the anonymity of the questionnaire survey. The obtained data was processed in MS Excel and SPSS. The results of my work disproved all three hypotheses. Respondents in the research group are health literate, health literacy among the sexes is the same and health literacy is not dependent on the level of education. Work results can serve as a good source of information for the general public or employees and company employers.

The high rates of cervical cancer in Brazil justify the implementation of effective strategies to control this, which include actions to promote health, primary prevention, early detection, screening, treatment and palliative care. Despite the existence of the National Programme for Control of the CCU there was no reduction in the incidence and mortality of this disease in Brazil. The Family Health Strategy (FHS) has the potential to facilitate such control and, in this context, one should consider that nurses play a central role. The study aimed to know the general intervention strategies used by nurses FHS of Natal / RN in CCU control, and how specific: analyzing the knowledge of these nurses on the CCU, the actions developed in the ESF for the control of CCU and identify the difficulties faced by them to perform it. This is a descriptive exploratory quantitative developed through a structured interview guide with 106 nurses who have experience in controlling the CCU in FHS teams of Natal / RN. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistic s. The results pointed to actions taken in the FHS to control the CCU, collection of cervical cancer screening, health education activities, nursing consultation, referral of suspected cases for medical monitoring and active women with abnormal test result . The actions that were not mentioned by the nurses included: forming groups of prevention and health promotion; expand coverage of exams and office hours of consultations, establishment of alternatives to end the pent-up demand in the health units, participation in treatment or rehabilitation process users with the CCU; interventions for pain management, alliances and partnerships with schools, in dustry and the use of protocols. This study can be seen that the practice nurses partially shares to the CCU in Natal / RN. The participants of this study, when asked about the CCU, specifically for signs and symptoms of disease and risk factors in general showed important gaps. Difficulties such as lack of materials for collection of Pap smear; inadequate physical space in the Health Units; pent-up demand in the service, delay in arrival of the test results; obstacles in the actions of referral and counter-referral and cultural factors make the CCU control is compromised. It is believed in this research contributed to a reflection on the importance of the role of nurses in the development of the ESF control actions CCU, pointing out the factors that affect these. It is important to involve all nurses who comprise the ESF as knowledgeable of the risk factors, signs and symptoms, and existing tools for the early detection of cervical cancer in the pursuit of quality improvement actions to promote women`s health, contributing in planning future interventions that may reduce mortality from this disease in Natal / RN. / O c?ncer do colo do ?tero (CCU) ? a segunda neoplasia mais prevalente entre as mulheres brasileiras. Os elevados ?ndices de CCU no Brasil justificam a implementa??o de estrat?gias efetivas para o controle deste, que incluem a??es de promo??o ? sa?de; preven??o prim?ria; detec??o precoce; rastreamento; tratamento e cuidados paliativos. Apesar da exist?ncia do Programa Nacional de Controle do CCU n?o houve redu??o na incid?ncia e mortalidade dessa doen?a no Brasil. A Estrat?gia Sa?de da Fam?lia (ESF) apresenta potencialidades para promover esse controle e, neste contexto, deve-se considerar que os enfermeiros t?m papel central. O estudo teve por objetivo geral conhecer as estrat?gias de interven??o utilizadas por enfermeiros da ESF do munic?pio de Natal/RN no controle do CCU, e como espec?ficos: analisar o conhecimento desses enfermeiros sobre o CCU, descrever as a??es desenvolvidas na ESF para o controle do CCU e identificar as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos mesmos para realiz?-la. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo explorat?rio, quantitativo desenvolvido por meio de um roteiro de entrevista estruturada com 106 enfermeiros que t?m experi?ncia no controle do CCU nas equipes de ESF de Natal/RN. A an?lise dos dados foi realizada por meio da estat?stica descritiva. Os resultados apontaram como a??es desenvolvidas na ESF para o controle do CCU, coleta do exame citopatol?gico, atividades de educa??o em sa?de, consulta de enfermagem, encaminhamento de casos suspeitos para o acompanhamento m?dico e busca ativa de mulheres com o resultado do exame alterado. As a??es que n?o foram citadas pelos enfermeiros constam de: forma??o de grupos de preven??o e promo??o ? sa?de; amplia??o da cobertura dos exames e do hor?rio de atendimento das consultas; estabelecimento de alternativas para acabar com a demanda reprimida nas Unidades de Sa?de; participa??o no tratamento ou processo de reabilita??o de usu?rias com o CCU; interven??es para o manejo da dor; alian?as e parcerias com escolas, ind?strias e utiliza??o de protocolos de atendimento. Com este estudo pode-se perceber que os enfermeiros praticam parcialmente a??es para o CCU no munic?pio de Natal/RN. Os participantes deste estudo, quando questionados sobre o CCU, especificamente quanto aos sinais e sintomas da doen?a e os fatores de risco, de forma geral apresentaram lacunas importantes. Dificuldades, como falta de material para coleta do exame preventivo; espa?o f?sico inadequado nas Unidades de Sa?de; demanda reprimida no servi?o; atraso na chegada do resultado dos exames; entraves nas a??es de refer?ncia e contra-refer?ncia e fatores culturais fazem com que o controle do CCU seja comprometido. Acredita-se com esta investiga??o contribuiu para uma reflex?o sobre a import?ncia do papel dos enfermeiros da ESF no desenvolvimento das a??es de controle do CCU, apontando os fatores que interferem nestas. ? importante o envolvimento de todos os enfermeiros que comp?em a ESF como conhecedores dos fatores de risco, sinais e sintomas e dos instrumentos existentes para a detec??o precoce do CCU na busca da melhoria da qualidade das a??es de promo??o ? sa?de da mulher, contribuindo no planejamento de interven??es futuras que possam reduzir a mortalidade causada por esta doen?a no munic?pio de Natal/RN

Existentiell hälsa är ett relativt nytt begrepp i Sverige och handlar om vårt sätt attse på och förhålla oss till livet i stort. Trots vissa påvisade hälsoeffekter, harmöjligheten att träna den existentiella hälsan på arbetstid ännu inte nått sammastatus som möjligheten att träna och förbättra den fysiska och psykosocialahälsan.Studiens syfte var att undersöka erfarenheter och upplevda effekter av enarbetsplatsförlagd hälsointervention under en serie av åtta tillfällen, medutgångspunkt i den existentiella hälsoaspekten. Semistrukturerade intervjuergenomfördes med sex informanter som genomgått hälsointerventionen under detsenaste året. Studien är kvalitativ och materialet analyserades med den tolkandefenomenologiska analysmetoden (IPA). Fyra huvudteman identifierades varav detre första kopplas till erfarenheter och det sistnämnda till egenupplevda effekter:Att bli sedd och uppskattad; Vikten av delandet; Existentiell hälsa – en del av migoch Ett nytt förhållningssätt. Resultatet visar på mycket positiva erfarenheter avatt ha blivit sedd som människa mer än som arbetstagare samt en stark gemenskapmed övriga deltagare. Resultaten indikerar en ökad grad av öppenhet och tillit,både till sig själv och till sina kollegor, i takt med träffarna. Detta gav pågruppnivå en upplevd ökad effektivitet i dagliga arbetsuppgifter tack vareförbättrad samarbetsförmåga. På individnivå indikeras en upplevd ökad inrestyrka tack vare starkare självkänsla och integritet. Slutsatsen vi drar av studienär att gruppträning i existentiell hälsa är ett kompletterande verktyg i kampen förförbättrad hälsa, ökad arbetsglädje och effektivitet. / Existential health is a relatively new concept in Sweden and is about our way oflooking at and relating to life in general. Despite some proven health effects, theopportunity to exercise existential health during working hours has not yetreached the same status as the opportunity to exercise and improve physical andpsychosocial health.The purpose of the study was to investigate experiences and perceivedeffects of a workplace-based health intervention over a series of eight occasions,based on the existential health aspect. Semi-structured interviews were conductedwith six informants who had undergone the health intervention during the pastyear. The study is qualitative and the material was analyzed using the interpretivephenomenological analysis method (IPA). Four main themes were identified, ofwhich the first three are linked to experiences and the latter to self-perceivedeffects: Being seen and appreciated; The importance of sharing; Existential health- a part of me and A new approach. The results show very positive experiencesof having been seen as a human being more than as an employee and a strongcommunity with other participants. The results indicate an increased degree ofopenness and trust, both to oneself and to one's colleagues, during the meetings.At a group level, this resulted in a perceived increase in efficiency in daily tasksthanks to improved collaboration skills. At the individual level, a perceivedincreased inner strength is indicated thanks to stronger self-esteem and integrity.The conclusion we draw from the study is that group training based on existentialhealth is a complementary tool in the fight for improved health, increased jobsatisfaction and efficiency.
