Ambulanssjukvården har på kort tid utvecklats från att vara en transportorganisation till en avancerad del av sjukvården. Utvecklingen av ambulanssjukvården innefattar den medicintekniska utrustningen, behandling, omvårdnad och personalens kompetens. Samtidigt har antalet utförda ambulansuppdrag ökat det senaste årtiondet.  Vad som ofta beskrivs som ett problem är felanvändning och överutnyttjande av ambulanser. Detta försvårar möjligheterna till god och säker vård. Därför har syftet med denna studie varit att lyfta fram allmänhetens kunskaper om ambulanssjukvården och dess organisation och kompetens samt vilka förväntningar allmänheten har på ambulanssjukvården.  Studien genomfördes som en enkätundersökning bestående av åtta slutna frågor. Studiedeltagarna rekryterades på olika allmänna platser i Uppsala län. Totalt deltog 70 personer i studien. Åldersspannet var 19 – 75 år. Resultatet visar att allmänheten har dåliga kunskaper om ambulanssjukvårdens organisation och kompetens. Förväntningarna på ambulanssjukvården är däremot höga. Slutsatsen är att behovet av ökad och bättre information till allmänheten om ambulanssjukvården och dess organisation är stort för att allmänhetens förväntningar ska stämma bättre överens med verkligheten. / Over a very short period of time, the emergency medical service system and its organization has evolved from being mainly about transportation into an integrated part of advanced medical care. The evolution of the emergency medical service system involves both medical care, treatment, nursing and the competence of the staff. The number of performed ambulancemissions has simultaneously increased during the last decade.  Misuse and overuse of the ambulance service is often described as a problem. This complicates the possibilities for good and safe medical care. The purpose of this study was to show what knowledge the lay public have about the competence and the organization of the emergency medical service system and what the lay public expectations about it are. The study was made using a questionnaire which consisted of eight closed questions. The participants where recruited from public areas at different places around Uppsala county. There where a total of 70 persons that participated in the study. The age span was 19 – 75 years old. The result shows that the lay public have poor knowledge of the organization and the competence of the emergency medical service system. On the other hand, the expectations is high. This study indicates that there is a need for more and better information to the lay public about the emergency medical service system so that the expectations is more in line with the reality.

This thesis analyses the awareness of Alzheimer's disease among the lay public. The theoretical part of the thesis is focused on definition of Alzheimer's disease, is dedicated to Alzheimer's disease in context of social work and in context of awareness. The research part itself includes goals, hypotheses, methodology and presents the results of the questionnaire survey. The final part includes discussion and the conclusion. The goal of the thesis was to find out the extent of awareness of Alzheimer's disease in Jihlava. For evaluation of extent of awareness the range of its evaluation was formed, on whose base a good extent of awareness was found out. The research group consisted of lay public of age 18-40 years in Jihlava. In total 384 respondents participated in this research. One of the goals was to propose some countermeasures to increase awareness of the disease among the public in Jihlava. One of the results of this thesis is a crossword giving useful information about Alzheimer's disease. Quantitative research strategy was applied for the survey. The date were collected using the method of questioning with technology of questionnaire survey and were processed in Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and SPSS programs. For testing of the stated hypotheses the Pearson's chi-squared test, Kruskal-Wallis test and correlation analysis were applied. The thesis points out the importance of awareness of Alzheimer's disease and provides overview of awareness of Alzheimer's disease among the lay public. At the same time it can serve as a source of information concerning this disease.

The diploma thesis consists of two parts: Theoretical and Empirical. The Theoretical Part explains the basic meaning of the expression Intensive Care, the types of Intensive Care, its history and provides a description of an intensive care workplace and the health personnel working in Intensive Care (their education and competence). The thesis also deals with patients in Intensive Care and their needs. The objective of the Empirical Part was to ascertain the Czech general public knowledge and attitudes towards Intensive Care, their experience with Intensive Care as a patient or a person close to the patient. The methodology of the Empirical Part consists in a survey using questionnaires among Czech general public. The questionnaire was answered by 259 respondents. On the basis of statistical evaluation of respondents' data made by a statistics computer program, we found out the Czech general public is able to define the notion of Intensive Care and those who had their own experience with an intensive care workplace described the setting of the place as positive, which was a surprising finding. However, we also found out the respondents of our survey still lack information, and they would, therefore, appreciate to receive an information leaflet whenever entering into contact with an intensive care...

Natural emergency events endanger mankind since ever. Jilemnice - municipality with extended competence - is located in Podkrkonoší. This town should be prepared for any unexpected event. Every season brings risk, especially in this "close to mountain" area. Town is endangered by snowstorms in the winter and subsequently floods, caused by melting snow in the spring. We can´t stop it, we can only minimize effects. Information / knowledge is the most important aspect for proper and prompt decision, that affects our life, health and property. Studying and preparing the theoretical part was basic task for realizing the goal of his thesis. Theory consists of natural emergency events typology and principles of proper behavior. Below short area description of municipality with extended competence called Jilemnice. According to information found during theoretical preparation, questionaire was created and consequently introduced to the respondents - adult inhabitants of Jilemnice. Participants were chosen in quota sampling in conjunction with local authonomy specialist. We chose 100 laymen, split into 50 men and 50 women. There were two hypotheses set to reach the goal of my work - basic (H) and partial (H1) formulated below: H) Adult Jilemnice´s inhabitants (laics) knowledge matches Gaussian distribution. H1) There is only [alpha]= 0,05 statistic difference between men´s and women´s knowledge, when talking about natural events problem. Hypothesis and its partial hypothesis were determined per descriptive and mathematical statistics, through following steps: formulation, scaling, measuring, elementary statistical processing. Then within nonparametical testing 7 identical density intervals were defined. [chí2] test / good accordance test using [chí2]teor and [chí2]exp comparison, second normality test inclusive integral calculation was selected (using u variable, primitive function F(ui) and statistical tables) to validate/disprove the hypothesis. Double-selection test was used to disprove partial hypothesis, per empiric argument [mí1]=O1 or [sigma2] and external theoretical data [mí2] and [sigma2] comaprison. Basic hypothesis was proved and accepted. Adults in Jilemnice are informed as presumed, knowledge matches Gaussian/normal distribution. Partial hypothesis wasn´t proved. We expected difference between men and women knowledge in natural emergency event occurence and best practice of treatment. This is surprise according to the first premise.

The thesis deals with the comprehensive care for a person with Alzheimer`s disease. As the population gets old, also the number of people with Alzheimer{\crq}s disease has been growing. Pursuant the survey, approx. 5 % population in the age of 65 years suffers from the middle up to high degree of dementia; thereof the Alzheimer{\crq}s disease represents 50{--}60 %. Its frequency roughly doubles every five years. Alzheimer{\crq}s disease is approximately the fourth most frequent cause of all the death cases. The main goals is to find out the extent of knowledge of lay public about Alzheimer{\crq}s disease in the South Bohemian region. Hereby we mean the information about the care, possibilities of healing, symptoms and prevention of Alzheimer{\crq}s disease. In connection with these goals the H1 hypothesis was postulated: The lay public was informed of Alzheimer{\crq}s disease. For achieving the given goal, the method of questioning, the technology of the questionnaire was used. 280 questionnaires were distributed among the persons older than 18 years and they were returned in 86 %. In total, 241 questionnaires were filled in, thereof 230 were filled in correctly and also evaluated. As the most important questions for confirming or not confirming the hypothesis the author determined questions concerning the knowledge of the AD treatment, AD symptoms, knowledge of facilities, consulting centre as well as other activities for the people with AD, occurrence of AD and forms of treatment. It followed from the results that H1 hypothesis was not confirmed. Two partial targets were postulated for the given issue for the completeness sake. The first partial target was to describe the medically social issue of Alzheimer{\crq}s disease including its impact on all the spheres of the life of man: i.e. biological, psychological as well as social spheres. The second partial goal concerned the survey of services for persons with Alzheimer{\crq}s disease and their families in the South Bohemian Region. This thesis may be utilized in future as source of information about Alzheimer{\crq}s disease for the students of Faculty of Health and Social Studies in České Budějovice and for persons from the lay public who would like to learn more of Alzheimer{\crq}s disease.
