Master thesis is dealing with the influence of sport activity at burnout among nurses working in intensive care and resuscitation. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and the empirical part. In the theoretical part we deal with burnout, its risk factors, symptoms and preventive measures. Other chapters are devoted to sports, primarily focused on the influence of sports activities on psychological stress and burnout. We also describe the possibilities of introducing sport activities to the workplaces. The main goal of our work is to determine whether there exists a relationship between sport activity and the risk of burnout. The research was carried out with the use of a quantitative questionnaire survey, which consisted of two parts. The first part contained questions related to burnout and was conducted using a validated MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory) questionnaire. The second part contained questions related to the leisure sports activities of nurses. Within Všeobecná fakultní nemocnice in Prague, Malvazinky rehabilitation clinic, hospital Mělník, Tanvald, Sedlčany and Neratovice were distributed 298 questionnaires to the nurses working on the resuscitation or intensive care departments.

<p>The comprehensive aim of the dissertation is to examine how ideas about mental hygiene have been elaborated and debated within the context of Swedish welfare. The dissertation is a compilation of four articles where issues of mental hygiene are examined in detail through an analysis of texts. In addition, a theoretical and methodological framework and a discussion of the concepts of mental health and normality are asserted to the dissertation. The subjects of research are (1) the launching of the movement in USA in the early twentieth, and the autobiographical narrative "A Mind That Found Itself" (Beers 1908), (2) the conception and the evolution of the movement in Sweden, (3) the psychosocial training within the education of social workers between the years 1939 –1989, and (4) the debate about the Mental health Campaign in 1969. The issues of mental hygiene and mental health discussed in the articles are elaborated in relation to the academic disciplines of Sociology of Health and Illness and the History of Public Health. The theoretical approach of these disciplines proceeds from a post-structural and social constructivist perspective of knowledge and language, a perspective also used in the interpretation of the textual materials. The section where the research methods are presented, consists of a description of how the textual materials have been selected and treated in relation to the theoretical and methodological standpoints.</p><p>The outcome of the investigation of the autobiographical book</p><p>"A Mind That Found Itself" (Beers 1908) in relation to the launching of the movement in the USA, is that the monomyth-character of the story supported an image of victory and hope, important for the movements aims to improve the reputation of psychiatry. Concerning the launching of the mental hygiene movement in Sweden two important conditions stands out as the course behind the rather hesitant start: the dominant position of custodial care and the antagonistic attitude towards psychoanalytical theories. The study of the psychosocial training of social workers showed how the skills of the clinical gaze were taught to the students by the technique of case-writing. The study of the Mental Health campaign in 1969 showed important divergences concerning the opinions of normality. Since the individual anatomy in the welfare system in Sweden is organised through the individuals position within the labour market, the issues of mental health and allied opinions of normality also contained the risks of exclusion. In conclusion, a comprehensive reflection concerning the results of the studies, is that the concept of mental hygiene, due to the mix of psychiatric and social knowledge, mediated shifting ideas about normality.</p>

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Afirmar a sociedade brasileira nos quadros da modernidade foi o anseio de intelectuais de campos variados no contexto das décadas iniciais do século XX. Neste cenário, a educação era considerada uma via possível para promover mudanças de hábitos, conformando a população a partir dos referenciais modernos. Se a escola assumiu papel de destaque por ser um espaço a partir do qual seria possível educar a infância, a importância de outras instâncias educativas também era considerada, dentre as quais, destacamos a família, pensada como espaço fundamental de socialização. A educação ministrada no espaço privado deveria, no entanto, ser consoante com os ideais preconizados à época, para isso fazia-se necessário intervir sobre ele, educando os agentes do seu interior. Neste estudo, analisamos as ações encaminhadas pelo Serviço de Ortofrenia e Higiene Mental (SOHM), que funcionou no Rio de Janeiro, então Distrito Federal, no período de 1934 a 1939. Este Serviço, chefiado por Arthur Ramos, visava prevenir e corrigir os problemas dos escolares, considerando as relações culturais e sociais importantes para uma compreensão global destes indivíduos. Como as relações familiares e o espaço doméstico eram aspectos a serem conhecidos e modificados quando necessário e, como os pais eram chamados a colaborar com as ações do Serviço de formas diversas, buscamos analisar estratégias variadas destinadas a intervir no espaço doméstico, focalizando as prescrições voltadas a este e alguns aspectos da dinâmica estabelecida nas relações entre as famílias e a escola, através do SOHM. / Affirm the Brazilian society in the tables of modernity was the desire of intellectuals from various fields in the context of the early decades of the twentieth century. In this scenario, education was considered a possible way to promote changes in habits, shaping the population from modern references. If the school has taken a prominent role to be a place from which you could educate the children, the importance of other educational institutions were also considered, among which we highlight the family, thought of as fundamental space for socializing. The education given in private should, however, be consonant with the ideals advocated at the time, for that it was necessary to intervene in it, educating agents inside. In this study, we analyzed the actions directed by the Office of Ortofrenia and Mental Hygiene (SOHM), who worked in Rio de Janeiro, then the Federal District, in the period 1934-1939. This service, led by Arthur Ramos, aimed at preventing and correcting the problems of school, considering the cultural and social relations are important for a global understanding of these individuals. As family relationships and domestic space were aspects to be known and modified as needed and as parents were asked to help with the actions of service in various forms, we analyze various strategies designed to intervene in the domestic space, focusing on the requirements aimed at this and some practical aspects of the relationship established between families and school through the SOHM.

The main contribution of this work is the attempt to inform the public about these issues and to propose a possible solution for mainly problematic working conditions in the Czech Republic.

Impulse to write master's thesis was effort to use knowledge from book "7 habits of highly effective people" by Stephen Covey in practice in company Green Ways. Experiment was chosen as method of research. The goal of master's thesis was verifying hypothesis that certain volume of (non)work activities should lead to better work results in concrete amount. Experimental stimulus as (non)work activities influenced experimental group (10 people from company Green Ways) but did not infulenced control group (another 10 people from company Green Ways). Research lasted from the 2nd September till 3rd November 2013. As conclusion it was realised that hypothesis was not confirmed. This certain volume of activities did not lead to supposed work results (quantitative results). As people from experimental group are concerned, side effect of research for them were different findings from (non)work topics (qualitative results of survey).
