Bachelor thesis deals with the role of midwife in the care of a pregnant woman after assisted reproduction. The topic of assisted reproduction is nowadays very discussed, because the number of infertile couples increases, thus there is also a higher attendance of infertility centres. The bachelor thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. In the theoretical part I dealt with female infertility and male infertility. In the following chapters, I focused on assisted reproduction and its types. Last but not least, I dealt with the risks associated with assisted reproduction and its ethics. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to find out the attitudes of midwives towards assisted reproduction. To fulfil this aim, following research questions were developed: 1. How do midwives perceive assisted reproduction? 2. How do midwives approach the care for a pregnant woman after assisted reproduction? The research was conducted in March and April 2017. The qualitative research was carried out by means of semi-structured interview with midwives and unqualified public. The interviews were conducted with nine midwives who work at a nursing unit of risk pregnancy. The other respondents were four men and four women without professional education. Respondents were aged 27-54 years. Interviewed respondents work in Budweis, Prague, Ostrava and Brno. The research was conducted with respondents on the basis of their consent, by signing "Request for Co-operation Agreement". This request guarantees the midwives their anonymity and also handling the obtained information according to ethical standards. At the beginning of the interview, respondent's identification data were obtained. During the interview, respondents were asked about assisted reproduction issues. Specifically, the complications of assisted reproduction, assisted reproduction methods, midwives' attitudes to assisted reproduction and their opinions on embryo reduction. The interviews then led to the topic of care for a woman after an assisted reproduction and the care for women with OHSS. The opinions of midwives on the awareness of women and changing needs of women after assisted reproduction were also examined. The interviews were recorded on an audio device throughout their whole duration. The conversations were subsequently rewritten and analysed by the method of highlighting in the text. Based on the analyses obtained, two main categories and their sub-categories were set. The first main category Assisted reproduction was divided into three subcategories called Methods of assisted reproduction, Complications of assisted reproductions, and Attitudes of midwives towards the AR. The second main category Nursing care for a woman after AR was divided into three subcategories called Specifics in care for women after AR, Providing information for women after AR and Changed needs of women after AR.Midwives encounter assisted reproduction relatively often and perceive it positively. Midwives, who have personal experience with assisted reproduction (either by themselves, or friends, family), perceive it better than midwives who have encountered this problem only in their practice. Women who underwent AR are better acquainted with this issue than PA. On the contrary, men do not deal with assisted reproduction issues. Interviewed midwives have found out that women have altered needs after assisted reproduction, especially a sense of security and safety.. The research has shown that midwives are aware of the risks associated with assisted reproduction and are partly aware of the care for women after the AR. Respondents also think that women are well informed about AR issues after assisted reproduction.A research survey has shown that each midwife is a personality and can perceive the issue of assisted reproduction differently. Furthermore, from the research occurred, that women after AR tend more often to have complications throughout their pregnancy

Bachelor thesis deals with pregnancy in women with assisted reproduction. The topic of the bachelor's thesis is up-to-date because every year there is an increase in the number of infertile couples and thus higher attendance of infertility centers. The bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical part and practical part. In the theoretical part we will deal with infertility in women and infertility in men. In the following chapters, we focused on assisted reproduction and assisted reproduction types. Last but not least, we will address the risks associated with assisted reproduction and ethics. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to find the attitudes of midwives to assisted reproduction. To this end, research questions have been developed: 1. How midwives perceive assisted reproduction? 2. How do midwives approach the care of a pregnant woman after assisted reproduction? The research was conducted in March and April in 2017. The qualitative research was carried out by a semi-structured interview with midwives. The interviews were conducted with nine midwives who work on a nursing unit at risk of pregnancy. Midwives were aged 27-54 years old. Respondents interviewed work in Ceske Budejovice, Prague, Ostrava and Brno. The survey was conducted with respondents on the basis of their consent to the signing "Request for Co-operation Agreement". This request to midwives guarantees anonymity and treatment of information obtained according to ethical standards. At the beginning of the interview, we obtained the respondent identification data. During the interview, respondents were asked about assisted reproduction issues. Specifically, the complications of assisted reproduction, assisted reproduction methods, midwifery attitudes to assisted reproduction and obstetricians' opinions on embryo reduction. A midwife interview led to the care of a woman with assisted reproduction and the care of women with OHSS. The opinions of midwives on the changing needs of women for assisted reproduction were also examined. The interviews were recorded on an audio device throughout. The conversations were subsequently overwritten and analyzed by the dyeing method in the text. Based on the analyzes obtained, two main categories and their sub-categories were identified. The first main category Assisted Reproduction is divided into three subcategories called Methods, Complications, and Attitudes of Midwives to the AR. The second main category is nursing care, which is divided into three subcategories called Specifics in Care of AR, Women's Awareness and Changed Needs. Midwives often encounter assisted reproduction and perceive it positively. Midwives who have personal experience with assisted reproduction perceive it better than midwives who have encountered this problem only in their practice. Midwives have found that women have altered needs after assisted reproduction, especially a sense of security and safety. The research has shown that midwives are aware of the risks associated with assisted reproduction and are partly aware of the care of women after the AR. Respondents also think that women are well informed about AR issues after assisted reproduction. A research survey has shown that each midwife is a personality and can perceive the issue of assisted reproduction differently. The result of this bachelor's thesis can be presented at expert conferences or published in professional journals.

I have chosen the topic ?Knowledge of non-professional public in the field of reproductive health? for my bachelor thesis because I am thoroughly interested in this field, and that I find it an increasingly topical question. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with anatomy of reproductive organs, infertility issues, irregularities and pathologies in pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, inflammatory gynaecologic diseases and other negative influences on reproductive health. The remaining part of the theory is represented by prevention in the field of reproductive health and the role of midwives in this field. Nursing care in this field deals in particular with education, and for this reason, the midwife - educator is also mentioned here. The objective of this bachelor thesis is to find out what level of knowledge the non-professional public have in the field of reproductive health and, further, whether the non-professional public are interested in extending their knowledge in this field. The further, partial objectives were to compare the knowledge between women and men, as well as to find out whether people look after their reproductive health. To compile the practical part of the bachelor thesis I used the method of the quantitative research. The collection of data was conducted by means of questionnaires. The questionnaire was anonymous and consisted of 25 questions, which were closed, semi-closed and open. The research set for the quantitative research was made up of the non-professional public. They were women and men from the Region of South Bohemia in the age category of 18 ? 60 years, with a various level of education. The total set consisted of 95 (100 per cent) respondents. The result of the quantitative research has shown that the knowledge of the non-professional public in the field of reproductive health can be considered satisfactory. The comparison of knowledge in women and men has proved a slightly better knowledge in women. We have further found out that the non-professional public are interested in extending their knowledge in this field. Despite the fact that people possess knowledge in the field of reproductive health, as has been proved by this research, they do not behave in accordance with their knowledge. A number of individuals do not look after their health. Looking for instruments to motivate people to take better care of their health would exceed the scope of this thesis, and thus it remains for further researchers.

Infertility is the inability to achieve a pregnancy. WHO classify infertility into two groups. Primary infertility is the term used to describe a couple that has never been able to conceive a pregnancy, after at least 1 year of unprotected intercourse. Secondary infertility describes couples who have previously been pregnant at least once, but have not been able to achieve another pregnancy. Causes of infertility include a wide range of physical as well as emotional factors. Approximately 30 - 40% of all infertility is due to a "male" factor such as retrograde ejaculation, impotence hormone deficiency, environmental pollutants, scarring from sexually transmitted disease, or decreased sperm count. A "female" factor -- scarring from sexually transmitted disease or endometriosis, ovulation dysfunction, poor nutrition, hormone imbalance, ovarian cysts, pelvic infection, tumor or transport system abnormality from the cervix through the fallopian tubes -- is responsible for 40 - 50% of infertility in couples. The remaining 10 -30% of infertility cases may be caused by contributing factors from both partners, or no cause can be identified. This dissertation has two main goals. The first goal is to describe how a couple face up to their problems with infertility. The second goal is that this dissertation can be used as a study material for social and medical employees. This dessertation is based on a qualitative research. I used a method CAMI {--} communication through the use of computer. The observational goup were people disccusing at www.neplodnost.cz.
