Multidimensional view on the work of children's nurse in the emergency room of children's ward
PŘÍPLATOVÁ, Iveta
The work of nurses in the outpatient department belongs between discussed topics. The interplay and cooperation of all members of the medical team are especially important. Correct communication between all team members and communication with children and their accompaniment are also a matter of course. The aim of this diploma thesis is to map the work of a nurse in a comprehensive view in the outpatient area of the children's ward, the satisfaction of children and parents in the outpatient area of the children's ward and to suggest possible improvements for the outpatient sphere of the children's ward of České Budějovice a.s. The diploma thesis is processed by qualitatively quantitative investigation using semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and observations. The research group consisted of nurses, doctors, paediatric patients and their accompaniment at the children's ward, paramedics and the general public as well. The interviews were categorized and processed by the method of pencil and paper. Questionnaires were processed statistically. The hidden participating observation was focused on the collaboration and communication of nurses from outpatient department with other nurses, doctors, paramedics, children and their accompaniment; and it was also focused on the satisfaction of the children or their accompaniment at the outpatient department. The results of the work showed that the view of the work of the paediatric nurse is distorted both from the health care professionals and the general public, which means that the nurse is seen mainly as a nursing care provider. The results also showed the necessity of proper communication and knowledge of foreign languages. At the same time, the thesis was used to identify shortcomings or suggestions for changes in the paediatric outpatient department of the České Budějovice Hospital, including the satisfaction of patients and their accompaniment during visiting the department that depends on the time spent in the waiting room. Suggestions for improvement were drawn up, drafted and handed over to the children's ward management.

The issue of care for children with MCAP syndrome.
PŘÍPLATOVÁ, Iveta
For most of the people MCAP syndrome is an unknown term. It is actually an illness, where the gene is changed for unknown reasons, leading to macrocephaly and capillary malformations. The syndrome entails its own symptoms and complications, which are the focus of this paper and which are described below. The goal of the thesis was to find out the specifics of care for children with MCAP syndrome. Interviews and observations were conducted with two families of children with this syndrome. The interviews were made with the mothers of the children. The results of the interviews and observations are outlined in the text, which is divided into two parts. The life of the child, from birth to present day, is described in the first part of the text. All symptoms, signs and complications are also included in this part. The second part of the text deals with collection of data according to the model of Virginia Henderson. The result shows that even though some of the children's symptoms are mutual for both of them, every child is born also with different symptoms. Therefore every child is unique. The interviews showed that no one in the Czech Republic has ever had the experience with this syndrome and the level of awareness of the syndrome among the health care stuff is very small or none at all. There is also no Czech literature published on this topic in the Czech Republic. There can only be found foreign articles written in English language that are not intelligible for a big part of the population. This thesis can be a helpful manual for some other families that give birth to a child with this syndrome and it can further help to spread information of the illness also to all readers, who are interested in this topic. That is also the reason, why the article on the topic of MCAP syndrome is going to be published in a professional journal.
