The thesis focuses on the specifics of speech therapy intervention in adults after stroke in the acute and subacute phase of the disease. The thesis is divided into two main parts, namely the theoretical part and the empirical part. The theoretical part of the thesis defines the concept of stroke and summarizes the knowledge in the field of etiology, symptomatology, diagnosis and prevention. It also defines the individual communication disorders associated with stroke (i.e. aphasia, dysarthria, dyspraxia, dysphagia and cognitive-communication disorders), their classification, aetiology, symptomatology, diagnosis and therapy. The empirical part of the thesis is focused on a qualitative research investigation, the main aim of which is to identify and describe the specifics of speech therapy intervention in people after stroke in the acute and subacute phase of the disease, when the patient is hospitalized in a hospital.

Pre-hospital and intensive care for patients after a stroke
KULHAVÝ, Jakub
The thesis is divided into two main parts (theoretical and empirical) and deals with prehospital and intensive care for patients with stroke. The thesis has a total of three objectives. The first objective was to map selected aspects of the process of providing prehospital emergency care to patients suspected of having an acute stroke. The second objective was to describe the course of intensive nursing care for patients after a stroke, and the third objective was to determine the differences in nursing care between patients with ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. The empirical part focused on studying medical and, primarily, nursing documentation. The obtained data were processed using a quantitative research method based on retrospective data analysis, which was then interpreted. The data was recorded in record sheets created specifically to adhere to the predetermined objectives and hypotheses. The contribution of the thesis is primarily its unusual approach to the issue, addressing at the same time both prehospital and intensive care for patients after both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. The results indicate that crucial aspects of prehospital care include correct and rapid diagnosis, assessment of vital functions, consultation of the condition of a patient with a stroke physician and rapid transportation to the nearest appropriate medical facility. The course of intensive care focuses primarily on continuous monitoring of vital functions and their potential stabilization combined with comprehensive nursing care, which depends on the level of self-sufficiency of a patient and includes all care for basic human needs, primarily aimed at restoring the patient's ability to manage basic daily activities. In summary, it could be said that patients with hemorrhagic stroke required more demanding and comprehensive nursing care compared to patients with ischemic stroke.
