It is an invasive method thanks to which we can image the coronary arteries of the heart and find places that are narrowed or closed. The thesis was focused on informing patients who were to undergo this procedure. The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to map the awareness of patients before coronary angiography. To find out how the information was conveyed and what effect it had on the patient's sense of security.

The research of my bachelor's thesis was processed using a qualitative method with semi-structured interview. The interview consisted of twenty questions. The research sample consisted of patients who were admitted for coronary angiography. The data that was obtained was further processed using coding and the "pencil and paper" method.The resulting investigation revealed that patients are sufficiently informed about coronary angiography.

The issue of permanent urinary catheter exchange in men - outpatient care vs. home health care
CAHOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor's thesis addresses the issue of exchanging a permanent urinary catheter in men - outpatient care vs. home health care. The theoretical part of this work focuses on the catheterization process, proper nursing care of the urinary catheter, and also mentions the most common complications arising from catheter insertion. A significant portion also focuses on home care and education. The objective was to map the exchange of the permanent urinary catheter and to identify differences in the exchange process between a urological clinic and home care, and lastly, to compare patient experiences with both forms of exchange. A qualitative research method was used, employing semi-structured interviews. Four nurses from home care and four from a urological clinic were interviewed, as well as four patients from home care and four from the urological clinic. Three objectives were set, each associated with one research question. The research questions investigated specifics in catheter exchange and nursing care for the urinary catheter both in the urological clinic and in home care. The last research question examined the roles of nurses in this procedure. The research results show a difference in the thoroughness of nurses. Nurses from the urological clinic do not adhere to the proper guidelines during catheterization of the bladder. Patient education occurs in both the urological clinic and home care, but nurses from home care educate patients better and more frequently than nurses from urology. Education should focus more on catheter movement to prevent complications. Patients are satisfied with both forms of exchange, but it is clear that home care is not only more advantageous for the patients but also easier for hospitals. The output of the work is a basis for improving deficiencies in performance, but can also serve as motivation for expanding collaboration between hospitals and home care.

Education of diabetic patient after total pancreatectomy
BAKOVÁ, Terezie
This bachelor thesis titled "Diabetic patient education after total pancreatectomy" addresses the impact on quality of life of patients with new-onset diabetes after total pancreatectomy. It also deals with the process of education for these patients by general nurses and licensed practical nurses.The aim of this thesis was to map the education of patients after total pancreatectomy. To achieve this aim, a qualitative investigation was used, conducted using semi-structured interviews. The interviews were conducted with five patients after total pancreatectomy and six nurses who educate these patients. Three research questions were established to answer the stated aim. The questions investigated how education by licensed practical nurses and general nurses takes place in patients after total pancreatectomy. They also investigated what limitations occur in patients after the procedure. The problems encountered by patients in adhering to the treatment regimen were also investigated.The results of the research investigation indicate that nurses most often carry out education in an individual way, and they agree on the topics they include in the education. Education is mainly carried out in the areas of insulin administration, self-monitoring and prevention of complications. Results of other data indicate that insulin administration, compliance of dietary measures, and glucose fluctuations are the most common problems in patients' adherence to their treatment regimen. Digestive disorders, fatigue, changes in eating habits, and limitations in social life are considered the greatest limitations. The research also found that there are no leaflets available signeted for patients after total pancreatectomy. The results of this bachelor thesis may serve to inform future patients before undergoing total pancreatectomy, to provide information about the consequences and impact of this procedure on quality of life. They could also inform licensed practical nurses and general nurses about the problems and shortcomings experienced by patients after total pancreatectomy, and they could positively influence education in these areas.
