Message nurses and ward sister in practice.
NOVÁKOVÁ, Jana
The ward sister round presents an integral part of the nursing profession. The ward sister round comprises a regular visit of the nurse directly at the patient´s bed. Its objective consists in determining and satisfying the unsaturated needs of patients, further in ensuring and providing a high quality and efficiency nursing care in a close link with medical care. Nursing handover can be divided into two main sections: written and oral handover. The oral handover takes place directly in the patients´/clients´ room under the use of nursing documentation. Its advantage consists in the direct involvement of the patient/client in the handover process. The written handover is then entered by the nurses into the Handover Book. The significance of my diploma work consists in increasing the nurses´ standard of knowledge related to the modernization of ward sister rounds and nursing handover as an integral part of the nursing profession.

Level of Quality Management and Safety Survey in Selected Hospitals in the Czech Republic.
MRÁZOVÁ, Iveta
Quality of care has become an important concept in present nursing. Accreditation is proper evidence and also the most efficient means to achieve high-quality care. Procedure of accreditation in the Czech Republic is most frequently administered at national level by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of the Czech Republic. The main objective of my thesis was to survey the setting of quality management and safety in selected hospitals in the Czech Republic. I used quantitative research and quantitative method {--} interviews and questionnaires in hospitals in České Budějovice, Český Krumlov, Písek, Prachatice, Tábor, Jindřichův Hradec from January to March in 2010. The qualitative part had the form of interviews with staff-nurses from above mentioned hospitals. For this part of work I set seven survey questions that had stemmed from the standards of accreditation of the Joint Commission on Accreditation. These questions referred to implementation of Programme of Quality Improvement and Safety of Provided Services, to the process of auditing, to the quality and safety data collecting, to the process of observing clients/patients´ satisfaction with nursing care, to the setting of report system of unusual and abnormal situations, to the setting of efficient system of complaints solving and to the standardization of health care. On the grounds of these interviews 9 hypotheses were set. These hypotheses were acknowledged in the quantitative survey among head nurses from above mentioned hospitals. 111 questionnaires were handed out, 82 questionnaires returned. The first hypothesis (proved) was: Head nurses play active parts in the Programme of Quality Improvement and Safety of Services Provided. The second hypothesis (not proved) was: Head nurses who perform the function of an auditor, have the certificate of accredited course. The third hypothesis (proved) is: The most frequent indicator of quality of nursing care is observation of patients´ satisfaction with provided care. The fourth hypothesis (proved) is: Head nurses have a form for reporting unusual/abnormal situations available. The fifth hypothesis (proved) is: Patients/clients have questionnaires available to express satisfaction with the care. The sixth hypothesis (proved) is: Corrective measures are taken at wards, on the grounds of patients/clients´ satisfaction with care. The seventh hypothesis (proved): Head nurses participate in preparation of nursing care standards. The eighth hypothesis (not proved) is: Head nurses engage nurses with advanced education in preparation of the standards. The results proved that only those nurses are engaged, who display interest, regardless of their education. The ninth hypothesis (proved) is: Nursing care provided at individual wards has a form of nursing process. Neither nursing process nor nursing documentation is used in one hospital only. The results of the survey will be provided to staff-nurses of the hospitals as a background for continuous quality improvement of provided care.

Determination of the number and qualification representation of nursing staff at standard departments of Nemocnice Písek, a.s.
MUŽÍKOVÁ, Eva
As the title of the thesis indicates, I addressed the number of the staff and their qualification representation at the individual departments of the hospital in Písek. I cooperated with head nurses as well as other nursing staff in the hospital and acquired information from them. The first hypothesis was that the number of the nursing staff work load at standard surgical departments corresponds with the recommendations of Karla Pochylá{\crq}s method. This hypothesis was not confirmed as the average number of staff at surgical departments was higher than the methodology states. The second hypothesis was that the number of the nursing staff work load at standard internal departments corresponds with the recommendations of Karla Pochylá{\crq}s method. The number of staff at internal departments was also higher than the recommendations of the method; neurology was the only department where the number of staff was lower than recommended. The second hypothesis also was not confirmed. The third hypothesis was that the number of the nursing staff work load at nursing beds corresponds with the recommendations of Karla Pochylá{\crq}s method. The number of the staff at nursing beds was higher than recommended by the method. This hypothesis was not confirmed. The fourth hypothesis was that the qualification representation of the nursing staff at standard surgical departments corresponds with the recommendations of Karla Pochylá{\crq}s method. This hypothesis was not confirmed. The fifth hypothesis was that the qualification representation of the nursing staff at standard internal departments does not correspond with the recommendations of Karla Pochylá{\crq}s method. This hypothesis was confirmed. The last, sixth hypothesis was that the qualification representation of nursing staff at nursing beds does not correspond with the recommendations of Karla Pochylá{\crq}s method and this hypothesis was also confirmed. I believe that the thesis can be used in practice as a template and groundwork for determining the correct number and qualification representation of nursing staff at various medical facilities.

Community care in psychiatry
BÍNOVÁ, Romana
Abstract Diploma thesis deals with the issue of community care in psychiatry and its objective is to describe the importance of a nurse in providing this care. Community psychiatric care is a very wide area of an intermediary patient assistance designed to help the patients in any areas of their lives. Although in the Czech Republic community care has not achieved the appropriate development yet, its benefits for patients are important now and its importance has been growing. In the theoretical part, after a brief introduction to community care issues, history, principles, but also community care connection with nursing care, are mentioned. Subsequently, attention is paid to particular areas of community care that are important for the mentally ill and the role of a nurse in these areas is described. The approach to the mentally ill, the issue of stigmatization and psychiatric care organizations are mentioned. In the theoretical are part, psychiatric illnesses that may occur in community care are also analyzed and it is explained how community care may be beneficial for psychiatric patients. In the practical part, the objective was to find out the level of psychiatric nurses´ awareness of community care and to determine if they see the sense of community care in psychiatry. Making a survey of community care in which nurses can be involved was another objective of the work. The nurses´ responses to the stated hypotheses were statistically analyzed within quantitative research. The purpose of hypotheses stated was to determine whether nurses with the work experience longer than ten years are more likely to believe that psychiatric care is more beneficial for patients than hospitalization., And also, if nurses with an education higher than secondary have better awareness of community services provision. Other hypotheses were focused on finding out whether nurses consider the most common community care services issue in the Czech Republic to be housing promotion and if nurses aged over thirty years are more aware of the nurses´ role importance in community care. None of those hypotheses were confirmed. The hypothesis assuming that nurses obtain more information on community care from the Internet and literature than at workshops was confirmed. Psychiatric nurses working in mental homes in the South Moravian region and the Vysočina region took part in this research. A component of the practical part is also an analysis of community services in these regions. In both the regions 13 civic associations and community centers were mapped.

Cooperation between nurses and physicians from the perspective of nursing management
KADLECOVÁ, Ivana
Cooperation of nurses and physicians from the perspective of nursing management Master's thesis was focused on the cooperation of nurses and physicians from the perspective of nursing management. Nursing care and nursing management has an irreplaceable role in health care. The world of medicine, nursing care and health care is an extremely complex organizational system, which is not surely represented only by physicians and nurses, but these, however, are still the dominant persons on the scene. The first objective of this thesis was to make a survey of cooperation between nurses and physicians during the nursing process in the care of patients from the perspective of nursing management in departments of surgery and internal medicine. The second objective was to identify problem areas in cooperation between nurses and physicians from the perspective of nursing management in departments of surgery and internal medicine, and the third objective was to find out the way the nursing management tackles problem situations in cooperation between nurses and physicians in departments of surgery and internal medicine. To meet these objectives four research questions were stated: 1. In what areas do nurses and physicians cooperate during the nursing process while providing care for patients from the perspective of nursing management in their respective departments? 2. How do nurses assess and perceive cooperation with physicians from the perspective of nursing management in their respective departments? 3. Are there problem areas in cooperation of nurses and physicians from the perspective of nursing management in their respective departments? 4. How does nursing management tackle problem situations in cooperation between nurses and physicians in their respective departments? The research was conducted in the hospital, where I was given information under the condition of anonymity of the respondents interviewed. The responders were chief nurses and senior staff nurses working in departments of surgery and internal medicine. The investigation conducted is a qualitative research. Interviews with the structure of questions to non-standardized interviews were conducted with the respondents according to question structures of the non-standardized interview. Subsequently, transcripts of interviews and data categorization in tables according to the Ritchie and Spencer´s framework analysis were made. The survey suggests the following conclusions. Nurses and physicians cooperate within the nursing process in providing care for patients from the perspective of nursing management in departments of surgery and internal medicine at the stage of problem solving. Nurses appreciate cooperation with physicians on the basis of mutual respect, but they still feel the prevailing dominance of physicians. From the perspective of nursing management there are problematic areas in cooperation between nurses and physicians. Nursing management tackles problem situation in cooperation between nurses and physicians by seeking common solutions. It will be possible to provide the health care facilities, where the research was conducted, with the outcomes of the research. Thinking about the possible improvement in mutual cooperation as early as during physicians´ and nurses´ studies, to introduce various measures to improve cooperation between nurses and physicians by organizing joint seminars and cultural events could lead to meeting the purpose. It is necessary to raise physicians´ awareness of nursing process and to carry out further research on this topic.

The use of evaluation methods in the practical nursing care.
KUBÁTOVÁ, Jitka
The aim of this study was to survey evaluation and measurement techniques that are used in practice. I have chosen this topic because demands on individual work of nurses are increasing and evaluation techniques and rating scales may help nurses in their work.Through the quantitative survey using questionnaires, opinions of 354 nurses at the bedside, and 61 nurse managers from 22 hospitals in the Czech Republic were surveyed. We wanted to identify the most common scales used in our hospitals and to find the reason why those specific scales are used. What problems nurses find in evaluation by scales, or what benefits the scales bring about. The respondents were also asked questions relating to risk management and the use of scales in this field. If prevention is the primary objective by which nurses try to anticipate more serious complications, what benefits the system brings to patients. The results of the investigation could be a clue to the efficient use of scales in practice and suggestions for managerial decisions when choosing suitable, acceptable parameters that will meet patients´ as well as medical staff members´ requirements.

Nursing and medicin - partners proffesion
PAVLÍKOVÁ, Lenka
Abstract The relation between nursing and medicine has been undergoing a number of changes in recent years. Optimization of synergy and competences between healthcare professions is one of the priorities of the healthcare system development. This research addresses the issue whether nursing and medical professions are partner professions in healthcare of clients. The objective of the thesis was to ascertain whether nursing and medical professions can be declared as partner professions in healthcare. This objective was fulfilled through a quantitative research using the method of a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire contained 17 questions for doctors and 18 questions for nurses. The respondents of this questionnaire survey were 132 nurses and 97 doctors. The data were processed by means of descriptive statistics using charts. It follows from the data analysis that nursing and medicine cannot be regarded as partner professions yet. According to nurses and doctors, the partner relation between these two professions is of crucial importance for client care. Higher education and professionalism of nurses contributes to improvement of mutual relations. The research has revealed that it is necessary to continue addressing this issue. Within the research we explored several areas that, as we believe, are closely connected with this issue, and we based the research on its theoretical part. This thesis is beneficial by exploring the opinions of nurses and doctors on the relations between nursing and medicine, and by ascertaining their opinions on the effect of the partnership between these two professions on quality improvement of client care. We also investigated whether nurses and doctors believe that higher education and professionalism of nurses contributed to improvement of the relation between nursing and medicine. It is apparent from the research that nurses and doctors realize that partnership between nursing and medicine is of fundamental significance for care of clients. If they endeavour to trust each other, communicate effectively and show mutual respect, nursing and medicine will become partner professions. The research may initiate drawing attention to problems in relations between nursing and medicine, and may provide guidance to finding the solution. It may also stimulate nurses, doctors, students of nursing and medical branches, and managements of healthcare facilities to think about the issue.

Nursing care and compensation aids and their usage in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis
RAZIMOVÁ, Lada
The present thesis deals with the issues related to rheumatoid arthritis, the nursing needs of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, the roles of a nurse while taking care of such patients, the collaboration of the nurse with physiotherapist, ergotherapist, and use of compensation aids by the patients while conducting private or self-service activities. The thesis has 4 defined goals. Goal 1: To find out whether the patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis are familiar with compensation aids. Goal 2: To identify the areas of self-care where the patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis need to use the compensation aids. Goal 3: To determine the availability of compensation aids for the patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Goal 4: To find out whether the patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis do have information about the compensation aids in hygienic care. All goals were met. Based on the goals, 4 hypotheses were defined. H 1: Patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis are familiar with compensation aids. This hypothesis has been confirmed. H 2: Patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis use compensation aids most often in hygienic care. This hypothesis has not been confirmed. H 3: Compensation aids for patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis are easily available. This hypothesis has been confirmed. H 4: Patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis have all the necessary information about compensation aids used in hygienic care. This hypothesis has been confirmed too. The survey was carried out at rheumatology clinics and at the League against Rheumatism. The data were collected in a quantitative research using the method of interview and the technique of questionnaire. All in all, 170 questionnaires were distributed among the patients. The research group contained 131 respondents. Analyzing the respondents{\crq} answers, it was found out that the patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis are familiar with the compensation aids in hygienic care, defecating, catering, dressing, walking, and such aids are affordable and available to them. Most patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis do not need or do not use such aids. Following the outcome of the thesis and the issues related, an information leaflet came into existence and is distributed to the patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis in order to provide them with useful information or links. The leaflet distribution through rheumatology clinics seems to be very efficient. The outcome of the thesis is to give more background information to the clients of the League against Rheumatism. Subsequently, the thesis might serve as an additional material for students in nursing training.
