Role of nurse in organ donation in pediatric patiens
Votavová, Kateřina ; Kulířová, Veronika (advisor) ; Hocková, Jana (referee)
The topic of my diploma thesis is the issue of nursing care in pediatric patients before consumption of organs at the resuscitation department. I consider this topic socially very topical because the number of transplant candidates on transplantation lists is constantly increasing. Since child transplant candidates are the most vulnerable group, I have focused on child organ donors. The theoretical part criticizes the concept of death and threat, including examination methods that lead to brain death. I present the activities of the Coordination Center of the Transplant and Coordi- nated Coordinator in a donor program that seeks to proliferate the transplant program. An important component is legal legislation and ethical aspects, which are an integral part of the donor system in the Czech Republic. Study materials I searched in the databases NLK, SVKKL, Medvik, Embase, PubMed, Wiley Online Library, Medscape. The research was conducted from the National Medical Library and from the Central Bohemian Library in Kladno. I got statistical data from web sources, especially from KST. Methodology: The choice of the case study best fulfills the requirements necessary to map the key moments of nursing care, which may play a role in the timely indication of a potential organ donor, as well as in considering...

Strategies for providing care within a selected endoscopic procedure
ŠAVRDOVÁ, Soňa
The diploma thesis deals with a strategy of providing care within the framework of a colonoscopy and gastroscopy procedure. The aim of this thesis is to find out what information is provided by the nurses to the patients during a colonoscopy and gastroscopy procedure, what communication techniques are used by the nurses within the framework of reducing the fear at the patients and what expectations the patients have from the nurses before the colonoscopy and gastroscopy procedure. Six research questions were established, which surveyed what information is provided by the nurses to the patients during the procedure, what communication techniques are used by the nurses within the framework of reducing the fear at the patients and what expectation the patients have from the nurses. Furthermore, they surveyed what kinds of problem have both the nurses and patients to solve and how the nurses secure the patients´ intimacy within the framework of the colonoscopy and gastroscopy procedure. In the theoretical part, the thesis is focused on the anatomy and physiology of the digestive system, progress of endoscopic devices, on endoscopy procedures and nursing process within the framework of the colonoscopy and gastroscopy procedure. And at last but not least, the security of the patient´s intimacy and a role of a nurse - communicator within the framework of the colonoscopy and gastroscopy procedure. To achieve the aim, the qualitative method of research construction was used with a method of an interview, face-to-face technique at the patients undergoing the colonoscopy and gastroscopy procedure and at the nurses providing these patients with nursing care. The research construction was supplemented with the nurses´ observation. The results from the obtained data led to the conclusion that the nurses ensure the patients´ intimacy properly, use the communication techniques for reducing the fear efficiently, provide the patients with information concerning the endoscopy procedure and that they rarely experienced any problems. Furthermore, the research construction revealed that a varied part of the patients never experienced any problems and their positive expectation from the nurses was fulfilled. The results of the research construction will be offered to the employees of the endoscopy department where the research was performed as a feedback for the approach to the patients within the framework of the colonoscopy and gastroscopy procedure.

Taking Care of Prostatectomy Patients Making Use of the Callisty Roy Nursing Programme
KRAMÁŘOVÁ, Iva
This diploma thesis deals with nursing care for prostatectomy patients using Callista Roy´s nursing programme. The situation, after prostate surgery, is a new life experience for men, that takes adaptation. Callista Roy, the author of Adaptation Model, was dealing with patient adaptation. The diploma thesis has set three aims. The first aim was to find out what interventions are used by nurses to support patient adaptation after prostatectomy in individual Callista Roy´s adaptation models. The second aim was to find out what stimuli nurses observe while providing prostatetomy patients with nursing care, and the third aim was to find out what problems prostatectomy patients face in individual adaptation modes. Three research questions were determined for these three aims. The diploma thesis contains two research files. The first research file are Urological Intensive Care Unit nurses and the other one are patients hospitalized at the Urological Standard Unit. Data was collected using qualitative research, methodology of questionnaires, interviewing technnique in prostatectomy patients at a hospital facility and nurses taking care of these patients. The survey is made complete by participant observation. The survey was carried out in February and March 2023. Nurse interview results have proven that nurses apply elements of the adaptation physiological mode when providing prostatectomy patients with nursing care. Patient interview results have proven they do not observe any problem in adapting to hospital environment nor in adapting to the state after having their prostate removed. The patient interview results have implicitly proven that they downplay the problems, and they would appreciate some help supporting their adaptation. The results of this diploma thesis may serve as a study material for healthcare field students. The diploma thesis may serve as inspiration for nurses supporting patient adaptation to carried-out prostatectomy.

Nursing care of a patient with cardiometabolic syndrome
TUROŇOVÁ, Irena
Current status: Civilization diseases such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes mellitus have been known for a long period of time The aim of this thesis was to chart the awareness of patients and nurses in the field of cardiometabolic syndrome and at the same time find out how general nurse educates about it. Methodology: In this thesis there was used a quantitative research method in form of structured questionnaires. The questionnaires were formed for patients diagnosed with a cardiometabolic syndrome and for general nurses in general practiticioners´ offices and in inpatient wards. A total amount of 327 respondents included 220 patients and 107 general and practical nurses. The research took place in two hospitals in the Vysočina county and in several general practitioners´ offices. The selection of the research set was intentional. The size of the file was determined by data saturation. Results: We found that only 83 % of nurses educate in the inpatient ward, while in the general practitioner's office every nurse, so 100 %. Next what we found was that the length of practice has no effect on the general nurse's education in the general practitioner's office or in the inpatient department. The chi-square test confirmed it for us, the result of which was 61 %. It was investigated that the knowledge of risk factors for the disease cardiometabolic syndrome affects the length of the treatment. Again, we verified this thesis with the chi-square test, where the significance level was too low (p < 0,05) and the result was 0,20 %. Another finding was that the age of the patients has no affects on the knowledge of the risk factors of cardiometabolic syndrome, which is evidenced by the result of 16 % in the chi-square test. Conclusion: In conclusion it can be said that awareness among patients and non-medical health workers in the field of cardiometabolic syndrome is favourable but it is still necessary to educate them. The output of this thesis is the information material called "Education of a patient with cardiometabolic syndrome " which is determined for non-medical health workers who educate patients.

Social isolation of in-patients problems
GRIMM, Viktor
Abstract The presented diploma thesis explores the social isolation hospital and sanitary facility clients suffer from, raising a live issue to tackle. Research aims and questions: I framed three aims, including defining the needs of socially isolated hospital patients, assessing the impacts of social isolation on the patients, and analysing how to mitigate the feeling of loneliness. The goals involve three research questions: 'What are the needs of socially isolated hospital patients?' 'What are the impacts of social isolation on hospital patients?' and 'How can we mitigate social isolation of hospital patients?'. Research methods and sample: The empirical part involves a qualitative methodology - a semi-structured interview. The research sample comprises probands classified into three groups. They include nurses attending socially isolated patients, patients and their relatives. I addressed 17 probands within one hospital and sanitary facility in South Bohemian Region. The data analysis involved open coding - a paper-pencil survey, splitting the data into three main categories, each containing ten subgroups. Findings: The survey revealed that hospital or sanitary facility patients often feel lonely, unveiling critical psychosocial needs for alleviating these feelings. Nurses and relatives are highly instrumental in showing compassion, while family hospital visits are imperative to prevent social isolation. The findings also indicate that loneliness severely undermines patients' mental health. Contribution to practice: The study may contribute to educating students of health and social care and licensed practical nurses and informing the general public. As the thesis's outcome, I will hold a workshop with nurses to identify and deal with socially isolated patients.
