Mental health care for nurses working in the anesthesiology and resuscitation department
FORMÁNKOVÁ, Kateřina
The thesis focuses on mental health care among the Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation department nurses. Two goals were set. The first goal was to find out what means the nurses use to take care of their own mental health. The other goal was to map what elements the nurses find the most stressful. Five research questions were defined in order to accomplish these goals. The empirical part is in the form of a qualitative research survey using a semi-structured interview, which consisted of 12 questions. The focus group consisted of 10 nurses working at the inpatient section of the department of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation. Acquired information was subsequently analysed and categorized. The nurses prevent the everyday stress by looking after their mental health and spending time with their family and close friends. The nurses' active relaxation consists of going for walks, trips or sport. Passive relaxation includes reading, watching movies, playing games, going shopping, sauna, good food, looking after themselves or going abroad. Some nurses are trying to pay attention to healthy lifestyle as they find it important. They most often experience mental workload when admitting a patient because of the burden of responsibility, time pressure and work overload. They also attribute the strenuousness of their occupation to them being constantly vigilant, ready to react quickly, decision making, improvisation and taking care of restless patients.What the nurses find particularly emotinally demanding is communication with the families of their patients and looking after young patients. They further prevent workload by using teamwork, being in a good mood and joking in the workplace. The interviewed nurses expressed their overall satisfaction with their work but at the same time they mentioned the need of hiring more staff and financial contribution for sports activities.
