The diploma thesis deals with the identification of risks which threaten students in the fields of Radiology Assistant, General Nurse and Paramedic. The aim of the thesis is to map the knowledge of risks during providing health care in students of selected fields at the Faculty of Health and Social Studies at the University of South Bohemia. Four hypotheses were set in the thesis. Hypothesis no. 1 saying that there are statistically significant differences in risk knowledge between students of the first and last year of individual fields of health care. Hypothesis no. 2 that there are statistically significant differences in stress perception as a risk-enhancing factor between paramedics and general nurses. Hypothesis no. 3 states that there is a statistically significant difference in the knowledge of the risk of ionizing radiation between radiological assistants and general nurses and hypothesis no. 4 that paramedics will call their future occupation more risky than general nurses. To achieve the objectives and verify the hypotheses, a questionnaire was prepared, a questionnaire survey was conducted and everything was evaluated using graphic and statistical methods. The questionnaire contained 23 questions and the research sample consisted of 105 respondents from the studied fields. The results show that hypothesis no. 1 was confirmed in the fields of Radiology Assistant and Paramedic and rejected by the General Nurse. Hypothesis no. 2 was also confirmed. Hypothesis no. 3 was rejected and hypothesis no. 4 was also rejected. The contribution of the thesis is a complex picture of the knowledge of risks during providing health care in the studied fields.

Self-esteem and confidence of nurses a related to nursing practice
SLIPKOVÁ, Aneta
This thesis is focused on the current status of self-esteem and confidence of nurses while doing the nursing practice. To evaluate current status the general nurses were asked about importance, and if they have enough self-esteem and confidence while doing the nursing practice. Furthermore, I asked questions focused on the problematics of building self-esteem and confidence and how nurses care about their self-esteem and confidence. The thesis is made up of the empirical and theoretical part. Theoretical part is focused on the personalities of general nurses and their formation. Furthermore, this part is focused on factors which affect self-esteem and confidence of the nurses while doing the nursing practice and it also includes the research what the nurses do for their mental health in order for their self-esteem and confidence to be on the appropriate level for doing the nursing practice. The empirical part is made up of one objective. This objective is to determine if the nurses have enough self-esteem and confidence while doing the nursing practice. For the empirical part the technique of semi-structured interview was chosen. Gathered information were processed and divided into nine categories. The results of the research show, that general nurses can, in their own words, say what self-esteem and confidence is and are able to speak about the importance of self-esteem and confidence when doing the nursing practice. Self-esteem and confidence of the nurses is on appropriate level for doing the nursing practice, but their approach to their job is responsible and humble, both for new and experienced nurses. Their self-esteem and confidence while doing the nursing practice is affected by specific factors which are connected to their profession. To achieve the necessary level of self-esteem and confidence, their personal values in their personal life are also important. The research shown that while doing the nursing practice the nurses have more self-esteem and confidence than in their personal life, since they would not be able to do operations and the nursing practice in their best states of mind. Because of that in order for the nurses to have self-esteem and confidence on the appropriate level they should care about their mental health. The interviews shown that nurses try their best to care about their mental health, even though sometimes it is not possible due to high difficulty of their profession. This thesis helps to introduce the problematics of self-esteem and confidence of the general nurses at different departments. This includes personal opinions of nurses on the importance of self-esteem and confidence while doing the nursing practice, factors which affects these personal values and the importance of mental hygiene for doing the nursing practice.

Bendová, Šárka ; Lejsal, Matěj (advisor) ; Čajko Eibicht, Monika (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the process of learning, knowledge management and the concept of learning organization as strategic directions in the field of education, learning and development of employees. The theoretical part describes knowledge management as an essential part of the management of a successfully functioning and continuously developing organization, which is exposed to increasing pressure of competition, demanding clients and economic burden. In this case the setting of corporate culture towards the learning organization is equally important. Since the organization set up in this direction has created a suitable environment for the effective development of knowledge, skills and experience, not only in the classical form of lifelong learning, which is given in case of the general nurses by legislation, but above all the creation, development and transfer of knowledge between individuals and the team is emphasized. In the practical part, first the selected organization is analyzed including analysis of fulfilling the criteria of the learning organization followed by the qualitative research devoted in the first stage to mapping the system of education and development of the employees in the organization and in the second phase to finding the attitudes of the nurses within a...

Cooperation of nurse and physiotherapist for patients after leg amputation
MAROVÁ, Markéta
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of cooperation between nurse and physiotherapist for patient after amputation of a leg. The aim of my thesis was to find out how nurses involve in rehabilitation therapy of a patient after a leg amputation. What this cooperation consists of and what potential problems may occur. We chose three following questions to fulfill our aims: What manners do the nurses involve in rehabilitation therapy by patients after a leg amputation? What does this cooperation between nurses and physiotherapists include? What potential problems may occur in cooperation between a nurse and a physiotherapist at a patient after a leg amputation? Investigation part of my thesis was implemented in a form of qualitative approach using half- structured interview and direct participating observation. My research sample consisted of fifteen probands five nurses, two of them working at a surgical ward, two of them at a traumatology department and one of them at a rehabilitation department as well as five physiotherapists, two of them working at a surgical ward, two at a traumatology department and one of them at a rehabilitation department. The rest of these probands are patients after a leg amputation. Results of my research show that cooperation of nurses and physiotherapists takes place. But it is not complex and effective. Nurses get involved in activation of patients, transmission of information to physiotherapists on patient´s condition and consultation of patient´s positioning. According to our results cooperation among sisters and physiotherapists consists of communication between each nurse and physiotherapist, their mutual agreement and situation awareness. Our research points out that transmission of information happens, but It is not regular and sometimes it is very hectic, therefore some important pieces of information are not transmitted. This makes an obstacle in effective communication between a nurse and a physiotherapist. According to our research results besides insufficient transmission of information there also exist problems in cooperation caused by a lack of staff, a lack of time, unwillingness of cooperators and unsatisfactory communication.
