Intensity of nursing work on the oncological department.
TŮMOVÁ, Lucie
This Bachelor thesis deals with working demands of nurses employed in oncology departments. Because of being in continuous contact with people (patients, their families or colleagues) nurses working in these departments should be empathetic, kind, patient and helpful. The theoretical part of this thesis focuses on general characteristics of oncological departments, description of nursing specifics, available oncological treatment, the role of nurses in palliative treatment and issues of burnout syndrom. The theoretical part presents the results of semi-structured interviews conducted with nurses working in oncology departments at "Ceské Budějovice Hospital" and "Na Bulovce Hospital". Based on the dialaogues were the case reports which later became the basis for category tables. The results show that nurses perceive their work as difficult, mostly from the psychological aspect. The oncology nurses have to face terminally ill people, dying and death on a daily basis. They are exposed to risks of cytostatic agents. They may often suffer from tiredness which can lead to disruption of social, physical and psychical wellfare and even to the burnout. Influenced by these factors the nurses often feel stressed and are not often familiar with how this stress can be prevented or tackled. A brochure based on the obtained information has therefore been compiled for nurses with the aim to inform them about these issues.

Stressful factors affecting on patients in oncology ward
DOVALILOVÁ, Ljuba
The target of the thesis was to map stressful factors which are affecting on patients in oncology ward. First I had to study literature about cancer and what can be stressful for patients. Cancer is a class of diseases or disorders characterized by uncontrolled division of cells. Cells are spread by direct growth into adjacent tissue through invasion, or by implantation into distant sites by metastasis (where cancer cells are transported through the bloodstream or lymphatic system). Cancer may affect people at all ages, but risk tends to increase with age. It is one of the principal causes of death in developed countries. Sequels of cancer affect bio-psycho-social field of human. Patients have to be operated, have had hard therapy and some of patients have to stay many weeks in oncology ward. Patients go through difficult psychological periods and their families also. For everybody it is stressful term and after treatment patients are feared of relapse cancer. After treatment some of patients go back in their jobs and some of them have disability allowance or old age pension. After literature review about cancer I started with my research. I was attending oncology ward in the Hospital České Budějovice for 2 months. I talked with patients and assessed stressful factors. I chose 20 patients, 10 men and 10 women all sorts of age. By the results there has been confirmed one hypothesis. Hypothesis 1: Women with neoplasia have more stressful factors than men with neoplasia. Second hypothesis, I could not confirm because in my research, there was a few patients with higher education. Hypotesis 2: By patients with neoplasia, which have lower education, decreasing number of stressful factors. After research I determined Hypothesis 3: By patients with neoplasia, with growing age, decreasing number of stressful factors. I suppose that the target of the thesis has been reached.
