FIŠAROVÁ, Aneta
Supporting the parents of premature babies lies in providing them with the chance to take care of their children, be responsible for the care and obtain some knowledge on the children?s condition. Owing to the developments in the medical care, the premature babies have nowadays ever better prospects for life. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the premature new-born baby, taking care of it and involving parents in this care. Furthermore, the relationship from the parents towards the children is described as well as the organizations helping parents. Three objectives and related questions were determined. The thesis aimed to monitor the awareness of the hospital attendants of the reserves in supporting a family with a premature and seriously ill new-born baby in specialized medical facilities, to find out the priorities of the parents in this area and to compare both views. The quantitative survey method was chosen for the practical part. The survey was carried out using a non-standard dialogue with ten respondents. Five of them (R1 ? R2) were mothers hospitalized at the neonatology ward in České Budějovice Hospital with their children. The other five respondents (R6 - R10) ranked from medical workers, specifically nurses working at the neonatology ward in České Budějovice Hospital. The information gained from the conversation were processed and further analysed. All the objectives were met. The medical workers see reserves in early support of both parents, as well as making sure that the partner is not neglected. A suggestion was put forward in order to increase the capacity of rooms for mothers with children. The priority for the parents is to see their children as soon as possible after their birth, to be close to them and to have a sufficient amount of information. Kangaroo mother care and stories from other parents are equally important to them. The partner unambiguously represents the largest support. It was suggested that the hospital must provide a lactation counsellor and a psychologist acquainted with the question. Having compared both views it can be implied that the views of the parents and hospital attendants correspond.
