Operation specialization of perioperational nurse and her influence on the nurges regime.
ROUŠALOVÁ, Vladana
This bachelor{\crq}s thesis deals with the work load of perioperative nurses. It is performed in very specific conditions of operating rooms. The work of the nurses in operating rooms is indispensable. It is both mentally and physically tiring. They work under time pressure and at forced pace. Perioperative nurses have to be qualified theoretically, they have to know the instrumental technology, they must be manually skilled and, most of all, emotionally stable. All this reflects in the feelings and mental health of the nurses. The aim of this work was to study the lifestyle of perioperative nurses and find out whether they know the principles of healthy living and comply with them. We have further focused on the physical and mental strain of these nurse specialists. We were trying to learn whether perioperative nurses suffer from the burnout syndrome and how they relax. For the purposes of reaching the above goals, we have used a quantitative research in the form of questionnaires. We received the total of 142 questionnaires form perioperative nurses. The questionnaires have been processed in the form of descriptive statistics with the help of graphs and tables. The investigation shows that the nurses know the principles of healthy living but do not observe them. It confirmed the fact that perioperative nurses smoke and drink a lot of caffeine drinks. It was also revealed that nurses do not observe the drinking regime although they are aware of its importance for their health. In addition to their work, they have obligations towards their families. As such, they have very little time for themselves and they fail to rest and relax. The research shows that they do not observe the lunch breaks during their working hours. It is alarming that nurses working in operating rooms are often tired, do not sleep well and suffer from backaches and headaches. Their working environment is stressful. It is, however, good to hear that these nurses are interested to know what is new in their field of work and do not plan to change their jobs. The study shows that the profession of perioperative nurses affects the lifestyle of these specialist nurses.
