Application of the element of basal stimulation in the nursing practice
WEISSOVÁ, Eva
Abstract The use of elements of the basal stimulation in nursing praxis The actual state Nowadays this concept belong among very accredited and very used concepts in nursing praxis and pedagogy in the countries of Europe. This concept deals with all areas of human needs and is used especially in taking care of premature infants, children and adults with intellect and somatic disability, people with different acute and chronic diseases, patients after brain injuries and clients with dementia. The aim of the concept is to organize the conditions of health care users in order to support their development, autonomy, and provide them with a chance to live their life in a highest possible quality. Objectives of the work: In this bachelor thesis there were stated two goals. The first objective of my work was to find out how the nurses orientate in the area of the basal stimulation. The second one was to find out how the nurses use the basal stimulation in different departments. The methodology: To gain and to process all the data needed for the empirical part we used qualitative research and we executed the semi-structured interview with the surveyed respondents on chosen departments. The research group consisted of 16 respondents. All of it were nurses working on internal, traumatology, and rehabilitation inpatient department of South bohemian region and nurses working at a Hospice of St. Lazarus in Pilsen. Results: After executing the analysis of the received data two main categories appeared. In the first category: "Orientation of nurses in application in area of basal stimulation elements in nursing praxis" appeared 8 subcategories of results of interviews with nurses. It was found out that nurses on the chosen departments know the term "basal stimulation", some elements of BS, but only 3 of them completed the course of basal stimulation. Within the second category "the use of basal stimulation by nurses on the chosen departments" appeared 5 subcategories. First half of the surveyed nurses do not apply elements of BS and the second half do apply only some of them. It implies that if all the nurses would have finished the course of BS they could have used the BS and significantly improve the nursing care with the application of the most appropriate elements of BS. The conclusion: The research implies that the medical staff is inadequately informed about the concept of BS. The results confirm that the concept is applied mainly by nurses who have finished the course of BS. Other nurses apply only some parts of it which they know from observing the educated medical staff applying the BS in their nursing praxis or thanks to the information they have from school or other sources. There is therefore no chance of quality provision of BS elements and correct education and communication with family which is very important when providing BS. Subsequently, there was created a summary of "Ten of the basal stimulation commandments".
