Application of the ?vaccination? nursing standard in primary child care Vaccination is a topic having been discussed since the very beginning. It is one of the most important parts of prevention of infectious diseases. Thanks to vaccination we only know some infectious diseases from historical resources nowadays. The vaccination history is not really long, however vaccination has helped save a lot of children lives. Despite undisputable benefit of vaccination there are still more opponents of vaccination, whose arguments are very often groundless or taken out of context. Diseases that had been nearly eradicated thanks to vaccination have spread in countries where some vaccination ended. This is why vaccination is so important. There are a lot of vaccines on the market nowadays, new vaccination substances still appear and compulsory and no-compulsory vaccination is being changed with gradual scientific development. My thesis presents a complex outline of information on children vaccination and vaccination procedures. The aim of the thesis was to explore the present situation and vaccination procedures applied by practitioners for children and adolescents. Another aim was to develop a nursing standard for children vaccination and to check its practical applicability. To meet these goals the thesis is divided into a theoretical part including structured information on children vaccination and vaccination procedures in the past and at present. The practical pat of the thesis is focused on quantitative examination of the present situation, vaccination procedures and collection of information on novelties in vaccination in surgeries of practitioners for children and adolescents. The data were collected by means of a questionnaire, which was distributed to 130 surgeries of practitioners for children and adolescents in Vysočina and South Bohemia regions. 93 of the 130 questionnaires were suitable for processing. The practical part then contains an audit and an inquiry about the elaborated nursing standard performed in 6 surgeries of practitioners for children and adolescents. The questionnaire and the inquiry were anonymous. Both the set goals were met. The results show that there are differences both in vaccination procedures and in approach to children vaccination in the individual surgeries of practitioners for children and adolescents. The research results also point out that information on vaccination is sufficient, however unclear. The result of the audit and the inquiry showed that the elaborated standard is practically applicable and is beneficial for nurses. These result confirm that a nurse always participates in vaccination process, which is why it is important for her to be informed enough on children vaccination and related activities and to be able to perform vaccination as well as related administration. The thesis may be useful in my opinion as it contains complex and structured information on children vaccination. This is why it may be used both in a surgery of a practitioner for children and adolescents and for educational purposes. Of course with consideration to vaccination related amendments of the Ministry of Health Care.
