Education of mothers in the care of a child with cerebral palsy
KURÁŽOVÁ, Natálie
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of cerebral palsy and education of mothers in the care of children with this disease. The thesis focuses on the perception of the child's needs from the perspective of mothers and nurses, as well as the educational process that is carried out between the mother of a child with CP and the nurse who educates. The aim of the thesis was to find out how mothers and nurses perceive the needs of children with cerebral palsy and how the mother's education process takes place in the care of this specific child patient. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part describes the disease of cerebral palsy including definition, causes, diagnosis, forms, classification and treatment. Next, the ideal education by the nurse and the needs of the child are described. The practical part includes results obtained through semi-structured interviews with nurses and mothers of children with CP, recorded with a dictaphone on a mobile device and then transcribed for later analysis and categorization. Six categories were identified through categorisation: child's needs from the nurse's perspective, maternal education, communication of diagnosis, child's needs from the mother's perspective, education by the nurse and support for families of children with CP. The categories were then converted into diagrams. A total of six mothers of children with CP and six nurses who had already met children with CP participated in the research process. The results of the research revealed that the mothers' and nurses' perspectives on sufficient education differed. Mothers want individually tailored education even in post-hospitalization care, while nurses consider it sufficient to provide information related only to the current problem with which the child is hospitalized. Therefore, this work is an excellent basis to complement the studies of future paediatric nurses. The work serves to prevent negative experiences of mothers during the period of hospitalization with their child caused by ineffective and lack of education.

Education of mothers about breastfeeding at the general practitioner for children and adolescents.
BEŇOVÁ, Aneta
Introduction: This bachelor's thesis is concerned with maternal breastfeeding education in a general practitioner for children and adolescents. Breast milk is the most natural food for the baby if the mother has a proper lifestyle. It also contains all the essential vitamins, nutrients and minerals that a baby needs for healthy development. Breastfeeding is a complex process and mothers are discharged to the home environment very early, thus there is little time for education during hospitalization. After discharge from the hospital, the educational process about the newborn is passed on to the paediatric nurse and the paediatric and adolescent general practitioner, which includes breastfeeding. The aim of the education is that the mother is informed about both theoretical knowledge and appropriate practical practices about breastfeeding. Objectives: The first objective was to find out how nurses at the general practitioner for children and adolescents educate mothers about breastfeeding. The second aim was to find out how mothers are satisfied with the education provided by the nurse practitioner for children and adolescents. Results: The study revealed that nurses most often educate mothers using verbal, practical and written methods. Mothers are most often educated during preventive check-ups, in the nursing clinics or individually according to the mother's needs. Furthermore, the research showed that four mothers out of eleven were not satisfied with the education. Then, the research showed that re-education for mothers who have a second child is lacking or insufficient because nurses assume they already know everything, but two mothers were satisfied. The reassurance given to them by the nurses was sufficient. One mother was not re-educated and another mother of two was partially re-educated. Furthermore, the research shows that two first-time mothers were satisfied with the nurse's breastfeeding education and another mother who had her first child rated her education as sufficient. Conclusion: Our research shows that there are differences in the statements of the two research groups regarding maternal education by the nurse at the GP for children and adolescents. This issue should be further addressed to avoid negative experiences of nurse education about breastfeeding at the paediatric and adolescent GP, and to ensure that more mothers continue breastfeeding after discharge from hospital. This undergraduate thesis can contribute to improving maternal breastfeeding education by nurses at the GP for children and adolescents and the results will be presented at the Lactation League conference.

PETŘÍČKOVÁ, Jana
The bachelor thesis is focused on the care of children with type I diabetes mellitus by nuirses working in diabetes clinics. In the theoretical part, there are characteristics of diabetes mellitus, its classification causes, symptoms, diagnosis, complications, treatment, and also the specific needs of paediatric patients diagnosed with type I diabetes mellitus. The first aim of this bachelor thesis was to evaluete the current state of nursing care of paediatric patients with type I diabetes mellitus. The second aim was to find out and identify the specific needs of paediatric patients with type I diabetes mellitu. The third aim was to try to suggest improvements in nursing practices and strategies for paediatric patients with type I diabetes mellitus based on the findings. The pactical part of the bachelor thesis was elaborated by using a qualitative research method. We used a questionnaire method and a semi-structured interview technique to collect the data. The research file consisted of nine nurses working in the Children's Hospital in Brno in diabetes outpatient surgeries with different length of experience. After transcribing the interviews with the respondents verbatim, we analyzed the results by using open coding using the pencil and paper method, where we esstablished a total of seven categories: age of children with type I diabetes mellitus, initial symptoms of children with type I diabetes mellitus, education, violation of treatment regimen, improvement of treatment regimen, limitations of diabetes in personal life, and visit to the diabetes clinic. The results of the research are presented in the various tables and charts of the empirical part of this paper. The research shows that the most common age of children with type I diabetes mellitus is preschool age. Initial symptoms in children with type I diabetes mellitus were most commonly reported by the respondents as frequent urination, excessive thirst, abdominal pain, and lack of appetite. Only one respondent stated that she did not observe any symptoms. Insulin administration was the most frequently reported educational intervention. Within the treatment regimen violation, not applying insulin and improving the treatment regimen, educating the children resulted the most. Limitations of diabetes in personal life most of the respondents said that they do not have any limitations. According to the most frequent answers of the respondents, the visit to the diabetes clinic is regularly once in three months. We believe that the results of this bachelor thesis could be used as educational material in diabetes clinics for paediatric patients to extend information about proper diet and lifestyle.

The educational role of the nurse working in primary care
MARKOVÁ, Monika
The thesis focuses on the educational role of the nurse working in primary care. Education is the upbringing and training of an individual, the aim of which is to change their behaviour, attitudes, actions and beliefs. Primary care is comprehensive and coordinated care. It is a set of activities that focus mainly on prevention, health promotion, but also on treatment, therapy and examination. High demands are placed on the primary care nurse in terms of the proper and smooth running of the practice, administration or performance of procedures. The first aim of this thesis was to find out how nurses working in primary care educate and motivate their patients to make lifestyle changes. The second aim was to find out in which areas the nurse most frequently educates. The practical part of the thesis is developed through qualitative research. The research population consists of twelve nurses working in practices of adult general practitioners. The data was collected using a semi-structured interview. The nurses were asked 33 questions that focused on patient education. Based on the interviews and the data collected, the results were open coded into six categories. From the results of the research, it was found that nurses working in primary care do not follow any educational process or have any educational plan, rather they draw from their own experience. It was also found that the nurses do not have enough time for the patient nor a proper educational environment in which to conduct education. According to the results, it was found that nurses most frequently educate patients on issues such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, preventive vaccinations, or elevated levels of cholesterol. The current issue, as of the month of March 2024, when the data collection was conducted, was the educational activities of nurses focused on the issue of whooping cough. Based on the findings, a material for a seminar for nurses working in practices of general practitioners was developed. The seminar focuses on the implementation of effective patient education by a nurse working in an adult general practitioner's office.

The issue of permanent urinary catheter exchange in men - outpatient care vs. home health care
CAHOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor's thesis addresses the issue of exchanging a permanent urinary catheter in men - outpatient care vs. home health care. The theoretical part of this work focuses on the catheterization process, proper nursing care of the urinary catheter, and also mentions the most common complications arising from catheter insertion. A significant portion also focuses on home care and education. The objective was to map the exchange of the permanent urinary catheter and to identify differences in the exchange process between a urological clinic and home care, and lastly, to compare patient experiences with both forms of exchange. A qualitative research method was used, employing semi-structured interviews. Four nurses from home care and four from a urological clinic were interviewed, as well as four patients from home care and four from the urological clinic. Three objectives were set, each associated with one research question. The research questions investigated specifics in catheter exchange and nursing care for the urinary catheter both in the urological clinic and in home care. The last research question examined the roles of nurses in this procedure. The research results show a difference in the thoroughness of nurses. Nurses from the urological clinic do not adhere to the proper guidelines during catheterization of the bladder. Patient education occurs in both the urological clinic and home care, but nurses from home care educate patients better and more frequently than nurses from urology. Education should focus more on catheter movement to prevent complications. Patients are satisfied with both forms of exchange, but it is clear that home care is not only more advantageous for the patients but also easier for hospitals. The output of the work is a basis for improving deficiencies in performance, but can also serve as motivation for expanding collaboration between hospitals and home care.

Education of diabetic patient after total pancreatectomy
BAKOVÁ, Terezie
This bachelor thesis titled "Diabetic patient education after total pancreatectomy" addresses the impact on quality of life of patients with new-onset diabetes after total pancreatectomy. It also deals with the process of education for these patients by general nurses and licensed practical nurses.The aim of this thesis was to map the education of patients after total pancreatectomy. To achieve this aim, a qualitative investigation was used, conducted using semi-structured interviews. The interviews were conducted with five patients after total pancreatectomy and six nurses who educate these patients. Three research questions were established to answer the stated aim. The questions investigated how education by licensed practical nurses and general nurses takes place in patients after total pancreatectomy. They also investigated what limitations occur in patients after the procedure. The problems encountered by patients in adhering to the treatment regimen were also investigated.The results of the research investigation indicate that nurses most often carry out education in an individual way, and they agree on the topics they include in the education. Education is mainly carried out in the areas of insulin administration, self-monitoring and prevention of complications. Results of other data indicate that insulin administration, compliance of dietary measures, and glucose fluctuations are the most common problems in patients' adherence to their treatment regimen. Digestive disorders, fatigue, changes in eating habits, and limitations in social life are considered the greatest limitations. The research also found that there are no leaflets available signeted for patients after total pancreatectomy. The results of this bachelor thesis may serve to inform future patients before undergoing total pancreatectomy, to provide information about the consequences and impact of this procedure on quality of life. They could also inform licensed practical nurses and general nurses about the problems and shortcomings experienced by patients after total pancreatectomy, and they could positively influence education in these areas.
