Practicing of Canine Therapy in the Context of Physiotherapy
PORUBSKÁ, Ines
This bachelor thesis explores the practical application of canine therapy within physiotherapy practice and its impact on rehabilitation and therapeutic processes. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to explore how physiotherapists are involved in canine therapy and its process. A sub-objective was to find out what is the role of the physiotherapist during the practice of canine therapy and what are the benefits of this method from their perspective. In the theoretical part, I describe chapters such as canine therapy and its forms and methods of practice and what are its general objectives. I then describe physiotherapists and their job description and how the fields of canine therapy and physiotherapy are interrelated. The methodology consisted in the choice of qualitative research method, semi-structured interview technique and data processing was carried out by open coding method. I divided the results into categories and presented them using diagrams. The results show that physiotherapists are involved in guiding and handling the patient during canine therapy and are dedicated to the patient during canine therapy. In doing so, they use physiotherapy methods and participate in the consultation of goals. They perceive the benefits both physically and psychologically for different groups of clients. Members of the multidisciplinary team are also involved in the process, either for supervision, insight or to provide holistic care. The findings of this thesis could provide valuable information for physiotherapists and health and social service professionals when exploring the benefits and use of canine therapy as part of comprehensive rehabilitation care.

Rehabilitation nursing at the surgical department
RŮŽIČKOVÁ, Monika
This diploma thesis deals with the problem of rehabilitation nursing in surgical wards. The aim of the research was to find out whether nurses are perceived as part of a multidisciplinary team for rehabilitation care, also to what extent the documentation of rehabilitation care is effective, finally the investigation involved the patients experiences of the nurses involvement in rehabilitation care. The empirical part of the thesis was conducted using quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative method data collection was carried out using a standardized questionnaire consisting of seventeen questions for nurse practitioners, general nurses and nurses with a masters degree, from selected surgical wards. For the qualitative method, semi-structured interview technique was chosen and was conducted with patients from trauma and orthopedic intensive care units. Information from the interviews were coded and four categories were based on the analysis. The interviews were analyzed using the "pencil and paper method". The selection of informants was deliberate. The informants were from the Hospital České Budějovice within a maximum period after surgery being fourteen. The results of the quantitative research showed that there were communication gaps in the multidisciplinary team. Thus, the possible risk of errors by staff is increased, where patients may be harmed. Another bit of findings, based on the documentation, showed that nurses perceive the implementation of rehabilitation interventions as more of an evidence of improvement in the patient's condition than as unnecessary workload. Furthermore, as is statistically demonstrated in the third hypothesis, we found that nurses provide rehabilitation treatment based on the input of other health care professionals rather than from their own initiative. In the questionnaire survey, nurses most frequently reported that their physician encouraged them to provide rehabilitation treatment. In the qualitative research part of the thesis, we mapped patients' experiences with nurses' involvement in rehabilitation treatment. The interview revealed that the informants had difficulty distinguishing between the terms rehabilitation treatment and physiotherapy. What we also learned was that most informants are satisfied with the communication between them and the nurse staff, which is necessary in promoting self-sufficiency. The interview also showed that none of the patients were educated in the preoperative period and about self-sufficiency training or verticalization. Another insufficiency, which was found through the research was in the area of education about respiratory rehabilitation, where informants showed gaps in information about prevention of complications. The informants had positive responses in the area of pain reduction in rehabilitation treatment. It is evident from the responses that nurses pay attention to analgesic treatment of patients during rehabilitation treatment. Finally, we asked informants about compensatory aids. As a result, informants from orthopedic wards were better informed about compensatory aids than informants from trauma wards. This is probably due to longer preoperative preparation. Through the analysis of the empirical part of the thesis, it is obvious that although the nursing care in the selected wards is of a high standard, there are obvious deficiencies in rehabilitation care. Therefore, the results could be helpful in order to focus on the problems in rehabilitation care. This could help facilitate the actions of management and medical staff in the selected surgical wards to improve the quality of nursing care.

Multidisciplinary team and care of patients with Parkinson's disease
Svobodová, Martina ; Vrzáček, Petr (advisor) ; Lejsal, Matěj (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to map the needs of social service clients with Parkinson's disease. Based on the needs, the goal of the work is to design a multidisciplinary team, its composition and functioning. In the theoretical part, I deal with Parkinson's disease as such, diagnosis, course, treatment and its side effects. I am also involved in social services, especially those that specifically focus on clients with Parkinson's. This part concludes with chapters on participation and empowerment, patient organizations and the multidisciplinary team as such. The third part deals with the methodology of the research. I used combined research, specifically interviews, field research and a questionnaire. I describe here the data analysis and ethical aspects of the research. The results of the research show that a multidisciplinary team is a suitable variant of care to fulfill some of the clients' needs. Here, I observe where the view of the client himself and the caregivers on the client's needs differ from each other and where they are in harmony. Based on the research, I subsequently propose the composition of a multidisciplinary team and model its functioning. In the discussion, I try to look critically at my work and also to confront it with other works that focus on a similar topic. The conclusion...
