Postoperative nursing care in patients after minor urological procedures
VÁVROVÁ, Eliška
The diploma thesis deals with postoperative nursing care in patients after minor urological procedures. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part presents the importance of urology, endoscopy in urology, the nursing process in postoperative care after small urological procedures and teamwork as an integral part of the urology department. The practical part of the thesis was carried out by qualitative research, the technique of participant observation of nurses and the technique of data collection of semi-structured interview with patients. Six nurses working in the urology department participated in the participant observation. The interview was conducted with six patients after a small urological procedure until the theoretical sample was completely saturated. The analysis and processing of the data was carried out using the open coding method, using the "pen and paper" technique. Subsequently, the obtained codes were processed into individual categories and subcategories.Three goals were set in the diploma thesis. The first objective was to find out what is the role of the nurse in postoperative care in patients after minor urological procedures. Then to map the specifics of postoperative nursing care in patients after minor urological procedures. The third objective was to find out how patients perceive the care of nurses after minor urological procedures. The analysis of the data of the research showed that the role of nurses is an integral part of the provision of postoperative care after minor urological procedures. Their individual approach, expertise and empathy play a significant role in the postoperative recovery of patients. Improving communication between the nurse and the patient is also an important factor. The results suggest that patient susceptibility to minor urological procedures is associated with interpersonal skills and the ability to provide quality care, which significantly affects overall patient satisfaction.

Nurse management of patients with visual impairment during admission and hospitalization
PRÁŠILOVÁ, Renáta
The present thesis focuses on managing the work of nurses caring for patients with visual impairment. Visually challenged patients constitute a particular group of patients with needs and demands different from those of sighted patients due to their visual impairment. The research aimed to investigate the experiences and knowledge of nurses providing care to patients with visual impairment and to identify the most frequent challenges and barriers that arise when delivering care. The empirical part of the thesis used qualitative research methods. Data was gathered using semi-structured interviews. Even though the research results cannot be generalised as they are specific to the research population, they revealed many very serious difficulties that nurses and patients have to deal with daily. The research also highlighted the underlying causes of these difficulties. Nurses have limited experience in treating patients with visual impairment. The lack of training programmes for this specific group of patients means that nurses do not know how to approach and communicate with them appropriately. The results of the present thesis may inspire the management of healthcare providers responsible for providing a safe environment for patients with visual impairments. The research results indicate a general deficiency in training programmes focusing on the care of the visually impaired.

Dignity and ethics in the designated aspects of nursing applied in care homes for the elderly
HLINŠŤÁKOVÁ, Lucie
This thesis deals with the dignity and ethical aspects in the areas of communication with the elderly; dignified approach towards the clients during the hygienic care; and dignified approach towards the clients when serving meals and drinks in a specific care home with nursing. There were three objectives chosen for the purpose of the qualitative research of this thesis. The first objective focuses on monitoring how the dignity is maintained in communication with the elderly; the second objective focuses on monitoring how the dignity is maintained when providing hygienic care for the elderly; and the final objective focuses on monitoring how the dignity is maintained when providing the nutrition and drink scheme care for the elderly. There were three research questions established to meet the objectives of the qualitative research of this thesis. The first research question: "What elements of dignified communication are used by nurses during communication with the elderly?" The second research question: "What elements of dignified care are used by nurses when providing hygienic care?" The final third question: "What elements of dignified care are used by nurses when providing nutrition care for the elderly?" The thesis consists of two parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part defines the basis of dignity and ethics; as well as three other areas, such as the communication with the elderly, hygienic care and appropriate application of nourishment and drinking scheme. Data callected for the empirical part are based on the qualitative research using techniques of covert and overt observation followed by semi-structured interviews. Research respondent group consisted of five nurses previously chosen by the director of the care home with nursing. The research showed that the approach of nurses towards the clients was not always with dignity. The aim of the covert and overt observation was to understand whether the nurses were aware of their behaviour. The outcome of the empirical part show that nurses who did not treat the clients with dignity and ethically, were aware of their behaviour. The output of the diploma thesis is a forthcoming article describing particular issues and findings of the research in this thesis.

Nursing care for alcohol-intoxicated patients in the traumatology unit
VRCHLAVSKÁ, Aneta
The thesis addresses the issue of nursing care for patients intoxicated with alcohol in the trauma centre, while being divided into two parts, meaning theoretical and practical. The theoretical part focused on defining the field of traumatology, injuries, ethyl alcohol, and the connection between injuries and alcohol. It also provided a description of patient care in traumatology, the specifics of nursing care for alcohol-intoxicated patients, and communication with intoxicated patients, including communication with aggressive patients. The aim of the research part of the thesis was to describe the specifics of nursing care for alcohol-intoxicated patients and to evaluate the communication between the patient and the nurse. Qualitative research was chosen for the research part. Data collection took place through written and verbal methods in the form of semi-structured interviews in early April. Data analysis was conducted using the pen-and-paper method. Subsequently, the data were organized into a system of open coding, comprising three categories and twelve subcategories. The research sample consisted of ten general nurses working in the trauma centre, six in the standard ward, and four nurses in the intensive care unit. The results indicated that except for one nurse, the surveyed nurses regularly encounter patients intoxicated with alcohol in their workplaces. According to the statements of the informants, the most common types of traumas associated with alcohol intoxication include falls, traffic accidents, suicides, assaults, visits to catering establishments or work in construction. Furthermore, the interviews revealed that the surveyed nurses perceive differences in nursing care and communication with patients who have trauma unrelated to intoxication and vice versa. They find the approach to intoxicated patients more demanding in this regard. In the interviews, the nurses mentioned the frequent practice of dealing with aggressive, uncooperative patients. Some nurses admitted that their personal attitudes towards intoxicated patients often influence their approach to these patients. It also emerged from the interviews that the surveyed nurses are not offered any further education in this area. The obtained results provided insights into the specifics of the issue, indicating potential communication shortcomings with patients for correction. The thesis will serve as a resource for creating simulation training scenarios (Appendix 1) to educate general nurses working in the trauma centre.

Nurses' approach to patients with dementia in general hospital wards
VAN HORIK, Nina
This bachelor thesis focuses on the approach of nurses to patients with dementia in standard wards. The thesis consists of a theoretical and an empirical part. The theoretical part contains the definition of the term dementia, distionction of individual types and stages, distinction of symptoms, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapy. Furthermore, it deals with communication and attitudes towards patients with dementia and problematic behaviour stemming from the disease. In the empirical part of the thesis, the aim was to identify general nurses' approaches to patients with dementia, the factors that may influence their approach, and then compare approaches of nurses with each other. A quantative method using a non-standardised questionnaire was chosen to conduct the research. The questionnaire was used to examine the approach of nurses to patients with dementia and to their awareness of specific and modern methods used in the care of patients with dementia. The responses of respondents from four types of standard wards were then statistically analysed. The results show that neither the length of practice nor the highest educational attainment affects the approach of nurses to patients with dementia, on the contrary, what affects their approach is the type of ward. It was also found that the use of modern methods does not depend on the education of the nurses, but again on the type of ward. The results of the investigation highlight the divergent approaches of nurses to patients with dementia and what factors may influence the approach. The result of the thesis can be used to develop a seminar to inform about modern methods in the care of patients with dementia and how to communicate and treat the patients.

Setting the Communication within an Organization from the Perspective of the Organization's Management and Individual Workers
BICEROVÁ, Markéta
The diploma thesis deals with the topic of communication settings in organizations and summarizes its settings in three arbitrarily selected organizations. The diploma thesis has two goals: to find out how communication is set up between management and individual workers in organizations and to map whether and how supervision takes place and how they help in setting up communication between workers. The research is carried out using a qualitative research strategy using a semi-structured interview. An arbitrary selection method is chosen for the selection of the research set. The research team consists of 11 employees, of whom two employees are in the position of the director of the organization and one is in the position of service manager. The analysis of the results is done by open coding and axial coding, and a paradigmatic model is created. The obtained data is processed in the Canva program. Data analysis shows how employees perceive the communication settings in the organization in which they work, what benefit they have for the employees of the organization and whether they help to improve communication between them. Employees of organizations perceive communication as very important; they continuously work on the quality of communication and try to improve it. They perceive supervision as an integral part of the high-quality operation of the organization and at the same time they perceive that supervision helps both in improving internal and external communication, as well as preventing burnout and contributing to the psychological well-being of all employees. The diploma thesis contains a subjective evaluation of the quality of communication between workers, evaluation, and benefits of supervision, which can serve as feedback for organizations in which the issue of internal communication or the issue of supervision is addressed.
