The use of the concept of basal stimulation in special primary school
SIEBENSTICHOVÁ, Pavla
This bachelor thesis deals with the application of the Basic Stimulation concept at special primary schools, i.e. schools serving for children suffering from serious forms of mental disability, in combination with potential other disabilities. The basic stimulation concept was created by the German special pedagogue Prof. Andreas Fröhlich in the 1970s, for the education of pupils suffering from serious mental or combined disabilities, at special schools. It was applied in nursing by Prof. Christel Binstein in the 1980s. In this area it also used in the Czech Republic for the first time at the beginning of this century, thanks to PhDr. Karolína Friedlová.The objective of this bachelor thesis was to find out in which way basic stimulation may be used at special primary schools and how it can be incorporated into the education programme. In accordance with this objective, my thesis contains a definition of the basic terms, a brief historical outline of the development of basic stimulation and its theoretical foundations, and subsequently the particular techniques that the concept makes use of. The most essential passage is the theoretical definition of possibilities of applying the concept in the special pedagogical practice, particularly at special primary schools. This part is completed with three case studies that present the real application possibilities of the basic stimulation concept at three special primary schools in scope of the whole Czech Republic.

Comparison of nursing care about apallic patients in domestic and institutional care from carer?s viewpoint
SOUSEDÍKOVÁ, Zuzana
As a result of urgent medicine acceleration and neurosurgery care improvement individuals that had minimum chance of life saving in the past survive brain insults. Increasing occurrence of people with apallic syndrome is a consequence of this progress. This thesis compares domestic and institutional care of apallic people. It examines whether the care quality and complexity are comparable. As the domestic care is more economical for the government it has to be supported in the times of insufficient funds for health care. Quantitative research technique of non-standardized interview was used for data collection. The research sample consisted of six healthcare workers and six family members caring for apallic patients. One respondent had a son in institutional care, however she took him temporarily to domestic care. Questions for healthcare staff and for caring family members were prepared separately. The results show that apallic patients in domestic care achieve substantially better results. The physical load is comparable, mental load is higher for family members. The basal stimulation, which is extremely important for apallic patients, is purposefully applied in institutional care only, as it is provided by trained staff there. The results of this work were presented at the 4th National Student Conference organized by the Faculty of Healthcare Studies of the Pardubice University. The data are published in the proceedings: SOUSEDÍKOVÁ, Zuzana. Comparison of nursing care about apallic patients in domestic and institutional care. In VI. National Student Scientific Conference of Bachelor and Master Programmes General Nurse, Midwife, Healthcare Rescuer, Nursing. Pardubice: Pardubice University, 2011. p. 18. ISBN 978-80-7395-391-1. The thesis will also be provided to the Cerebrum Association, which is going to publish it on its website and provide it to its clients, who are in touch with patients after brain injury. Distribution of this work among people having individuals with insulted brain around is the best way how to highlight the urgency of the problem.

Application of snoezelen as multisensory stimulation in children with heavy combined handicap
RICHTROVÁ, Lucie
Snoezelen is a therapeutic method based on complex involvement of senses. The target group is particularly formed by individuals with heavy combined handicap, within the whole age spectre from newborns to seniors. Snoezelen is provided in a specifically arranged room offering the individual pleasant environment and stimulating sensual impulses. A therapist has a function of a guide here; the individual him/herself defines how to spend the free time in the snoezelen. The aim of the thesis was to find the possibilities of snoezelen application in children with heavy combined handicap. The particular goal was to develop individual plans for exploitation of snoezelen focused on development of concentration of attention and communication abilities. The theoretical part thus includes specification of general conditions and principles of snoezelen application as a therapeutic method apart from definitions of the basic terms, detailed characteristics of snoezelen and a list of supportive methods. This knowledge was then applied to the theoretical part of the thesis. Case reports were used for verification of the theoretical outputs with regar to the target group characteristic and the individual specifics of therapeutic work. Combination of involved observation and document analysis was used for data collection. Three children with heavy combined handicap were chosen for the research sample. All the probands passed a three-month therapy in specific environment arranged according to snoezelen principles. The room met the conditions for development of attention concentration and communication abilities. However the children did not take use of the opportunity during two month of therapy. Only relaxation effect of snoezelen was seen in all of them, a shift in interaction with the environment, where the child actively influenced the snoezelen elements was found in one case. The results showed that the short time and low frequency of therapeutic sessions were probably the reasons of non fulfilment of the set goals with regard to the disability character and degree. The thesis may serve as informational material for persons or facilities interested in utilization of snoezelen and would like to use a multi-sensory room in practice.

Specifics Nursing care of patients on chronic resuscitation drive
PETROUOVÁ, Tereza
The Bachelor paper subject: Specific aspects of care given to chronic patients of Resuscitation Unit. The Ward of Chronic & Intensive Care is a specialized unit providing quality care to patients long-term dependent on the breathing apparatus. Formulated for the paper were three objectives: (1) to explore special aspects of nursing care delivered to patients long-term treated in the Resuscitation Unit. With the results reviewed, the nurses were found to provide comprehensive well-aimed care to the patients as regards the aspects of hygiene, nutrition and excretion. Great emphasis was placed on communication with clients, their families and other close relatives. A proper method of such communication was chosen in consideration of individual features of each person and his or her communication capabilities. The entire medical team applied the concept of basal stimulation. Consequently, the first objective was met. (2) to map the difficulties encountered while providing care in the Unit. Most of the nurses found their work mentally exhausting. The second objective was achieved, too. (3) to examine demands imposed on nurses staffing the Unit. The nurses had to be responsible; properly educated; familiar with different elements of the basal stimulation; and capable of taking independent decisions, showing empathy, utilizing communication skills, and cooperating not only with the other staff members but, first and foremost, with the families and relatives of the clients. The third objective was thus accomplished.

Effectiveness of cooperation family and health workers in care of apalic coma.
LIŠKOVÁ, Kristina
People can differ in their attitudes toward apalic syndrome patients. Health care staff, however, would always be professional. They deal with a human being, a person who can sense. This fact should form a framework for both health care professionals and patients´ families. Especially nurses should be very sensitive, calm and good-tempered so that they could take adequate care of apalic patients. The empiric part of the thesis was elaborated through qualitative and quantitative research survey. The qualitative method, an interview, was used in the first phase of the survey. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the family members of apalic patients and the nurses of health care facilities. Although the interviews for the family members and the nurses differed in some parts, they contained common identification questions and specific information. The interviews were anonymous and consisted of 16 questions for the family members and 10 questions for the nurses.

Utilization of the concept of Basal stimulation in the nursing process for apallic syndrome.
MÁŠOVÁ, Renata
The topic of this diploma paper is ``The Use of the Basal Stimulation Concept in Nursing Provided to Apalic Syndrome Patients{\crqq}. I have chosen this topic because I took part in a basal stimulation course and in order to describe the use of this concept in nursing. Basal stimulation is a programme for nursing. Thanks to its scientific basis and empathetic approach, basal stimulation is acquiring more and more sympathizers among nurses as well as physicians. It is a complex of nursing methods based on the use of appropriate stimuli instigating neural complexes. It has been proven that such impulses contribute to the regeneration of engrammes and facilitate overall rehabilitation of the patient. The concept of basal stimulation helps after craniocerebral injuries, cerebrovascular accidents, in comatose conditions and in apalic syndrome. The paper is divided into two sections. The first one is theoretical and it deals with the apalic syndrome and provides a detailed description of the basal stimulation concept. The other section, a practical one, provides the descriptions of individual case reports with a nursing plan based on the basal stimulation concept. The effects of this concept are assessed according to observations and questioning of nursing staff and family members. The observation of patients with the apalic syndrome has led us to conclude that the basal stimulation concept has very pleasing effects on the patients. This method has been incorporated into everyday nursing process and it should become a common standard in nursing. Frequently, the health state of such clients is stabilized for a long time and the prognosis is not favourable; the prevention of potential complications is mostly at play here. This scientific method has positive effects on such patients as seen by nursing staff as well as family members. It maintains the patient{\crq}s comfort, individual approach and a holistic being. The care for these seriously ill people is very physically and mentally demanding at common wards. Therefore, we think that it is necessary to establish specialized apalic units where such patients would receive individual care based on the basal stimulation concept. This care is practicable as much as possible in cooperation with family members and nursing staff providing all possible aids and background.

Implementation of the basal stimulation concept in old people homes in the South-Bohemiam Region.
VESELÁ, Jaroslava
The theme for the bachelor work is the implementation of the conception of the basal stimulation in the retirements homes in the South Bohemian region. At present, the age average of seniors in all types of social care establishments is increasing, especially in residential establishments. To reach the quality of the provided care, it is necessary for all members of the nursing stuff to be informed of the problems and to manage the process of taking control of these problems and to solve them One of the most demanding tasks of the nursing care is to meet the needs of the client and to understand the style of communication. The basal stimulation is a conception that helps to meet the needs of all clients. It derives benefit from previous firmly footed life habits, customs and experiences of the client. The aim of the work is to find out, if the nursing team is making use of the basal stimulation conception in the retirement homes of the South Bohemian region. In the work, two hypothesis have been pointed: Hypothesis 1: In the retirement homes of the South Bohemian Region, the basal stimulation conception in the nurse care with seniors is not being used. Hypothesis 2: According the subjective opinion of the nurses, the basal stimulation conception is not being used for reasons of absence of nursing stuff in the retirement homes. To gain the information, a quantity investigation was used with a method of questioning, with a questionnaire given to the nursing stuff of seven selected retirement homes in the South Bohemian region Through the analysis of collected data subsequently processed into graphic charts and schemes, the first pointed out hypothesis was disproved and the second hypothesis was affirmed. In two selected retirement homes, the basal stimulation conception is used. When treating seniors, the method most frequently used is the positioning with bead aids. I believe that the investigation is also a practical contribution for the reason of the exchange of information about the existence of the basal stimulation conception to the nursing stuff who have not yet been informed about it, I hope that the basal stimulation will gain a basic position among the established methods of nursing care and will become a great contribution for the patient as well as for the whole nursing team.

Basal stimulation of children
TLAMSOVÁ, Alena
ABSTRACT Basal stimulation of children Basal stimulation concept is an inherent part of life of people with physical or mental disability. It is a contribution for patients who experience any perception problems but also within a care for premature infants. The basal stimulation concept has currently been in the period of implementation and putting into practice. Various medical and social facilities have currently been operating with this concept in the Czech Republic. Through a qualitative investigation using a non-standard interview we tried to find out, whether the basal stimulation has any contribution for child{\crq}s development. There were chosen two objectives: O1: To find out the contribution of basal stimulation for child{\crq}s development from the view of general and children{\crq}s nurses. O2: To find out the contribution of basal stimulation for child{\crq}s development in the view of a family. The objectives were fulfilled. During the investigation we addressed eight general and children{\crq}s nurses. Three nurses have been working at the neonatal and children{\crq}s department of Nemocnice Písek, Joint Stock Company. Other two nurses have been working at the neonatal department of Nemocnice České Budějovice, Joint Stock Company. The remaining three nurses have been working in Světluška, the public beneficial organisation and the children{\crq}s social welfare institution in České Budějovice. Other research sample were parents of four children experiencing basal stimulation. It ensued from the result analysis that general and children{\crq}s nurses think that basal stimulation has a contribution for child{\crq}s development and can see changes of perception and behaviour after involving basal stimulation in care. It further ensued from the results that also parents think that basal stimulation has a contribution for child{\crq}s development and can also see changes of perception and behaviour after basal stimulation has been involved within care.

Basal stimulation and kinaesthetics and their integration into the the care of seniors with specific problems
POLICHRONOVOVÁ, Lenka
Summary In my bachelor's thesis I focus on an integration of a stimulatory care into daily activities of seniors with heavy motoric, cognitive or perceptional changes by the means of the concept Basal stimulation and by the means of the concept Kinaesthetic mobilisation. In a theoretical part I describe an old age with manifestations of involution, I marginally mention a neurorehabilitation, nursing in order to point out a penetration of rehabilitation into the care which is directed to therapeutic aim in a nursing way. Subsequently I deal with both concepts, with individual stimulations and with kinaesthetic principles of mobilization. In a practical part there was a qualitative research applied. A data sampling was implemented by the way of a secondary analysis of documents and by a method of observation. An observation was implemented both as involved and neutral one. There was an instrumental method of casuistics applied to describe an integration of concepts into the care. The diversity of sample was the main criterion at choice. There were 4 males and 2 females in the age range 53{--}95 years old in a set. The objective of work no. 1 was to create an integrated image of the possibilities of integration and of utilization of elements from a concept of basal stimulation and kinaesthetic mobilisation in the care of seniors with specific problems. The objective no. 2 was to support a theory that an interconnection of a concept of basal stimulation and kinaesthetics leads to the development of perceptiveness and to improvement of skills and capabilities. The objective no. 3 presupposes that concepts of basal stimulation and kinaesthetics contribute to a support of overall perception and to improvement of the quality of life of seniors with a somatic, sensoric and mental affection. The objective no. 4 was to find out whether the concepts are a suitable communicational and educational form in a fundamental nursing care in order to achieve a higher level of self-service and mobility. All the objectives were achieved in my opinion. An importance of rehabilitation and psychosocial educational care even in old age ensued from an elaboration of a theoretical part. By the way of evaluation of a practical part I came to my personal opinion that a stimulation care has a positive effect even in a developmental stage of an old age. The thesis could become a source of information at introduction of concepts into practice; it could be conducive for family members when taking care of their close relatives or eventually as a basis for the purposes of study of these problems.
