How social work has affected personal lives of social workers
KUKLOVÁ, Barbora
In this thesis characteristics of a social work, social worker, and low-threshold clubs are described. I focus on general incentives in the field of social work, which can participate in the influence on social work on the personal life. Those incentives are the role of the social worker, working conditions, important documents in the field of social work, supervision, the boundary between the social worker and the client, selfcare and other factors. In the main part of the thesis, I deal with three main psychological aspects such as personality, values and attitudes which can also contribute to the overlap of social work into personal life. At the end of the thesis, I describe positive psychology and the connection of positive psychology with social work. The last subchapter consists of analyzes of respondents' probes documented in the literature. The aim of the thesis is to find out how social work affects the personal life of social workers. I intentionally focus on selected general incentives and psychological aspects which can prevent a large overlap of social work in personal lives of workers. I conducted a research probe with five respondents from low-threshold clubs for the theoretical part of the thesis. I used the method of semi-structured interview to obtain the necessary data. I chose deliberately selected questions which led to the goal.

The level of self-care patients after leg amputation
HONZÁRKOVÁ, Klára
This thesis deals with the issue of patients after the amputation of the lower limb. Loss of the lower limb means a great change for the patient, not only in understanding the integrity of one's own body, one's own health, but also from a functional point of view. The theoretical part of the thesis presents the latest available knowledge about lower limb amputation and postoperative care for patients with this diagnosis. It also deals with self-care, based on Dorotheus Orem's theory of self-care deficit. The aim of the work was to determine the level of self-care of patients after amputation of the lower limb using some aspects of D. E. Orem's model. To find out in what systems D.E. Orem's nurses support patients after the amputation of the lower limb in self-care and how to help nurses care for these patients. The research part of the thesis was realized through a qualitative research survey. The technique of data collection was a semi-structured interview with patients with amputation of the lower limb and nurses who provide nursing care for such ill persons. The theoretical basis for the interview was the DE Oremové model, which was complemented by the ADL (Activity Daily Living), IADL (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale) and the analogue range of pain in the group of respondents - patients. The data obtained were processed in the form of transcripts of the interviews, which are supplemented by evaluation of individual scales. The output of the diploma thesis is a set of recommended measures and a proposal of a comprehensive information material on the amputation of the lower limb for patients, which the nurses should be available to their departments.

Canistherapy - as a part of nursing of elderly people in long term care
JENERÁLOVÁ, Marta
The present work deals with elderly people hospitalized in long term care departments (hereinafter referred to as LTC) where they often experience unpleasant feelings such as fear, anxiety or psychic lability. They can feel lonely, isolated, useless and incapable. In the theoretical part hereof the author has explained the term of canistherapy and its use in geriatrics. Next, the author has shed some more light on the relationship between a senior and a dog, the phenomenon of old age and aging, specific aspects of nursing in geriatrics. And also, the author has given an account of medical and social institutions which elderly people can use. The inquiry was carried out in the form of anonymous questionnaires with seniors hospitalized in LTC of the Třebíč Hospital and in LTC of the Havlíčkův Brod Hospital. This inquiry was then supplemented with moderated half-standardized interviews with hospitalized seniors in both LTC departments. The author set four goals in her work: Goal 1 is to chart the influence of canistherapy on progress in self-care of the sick seniors in LTC departments. Goal 2 is to chart the influence of canistherapy on progress in the hospitalization of seniors in LTC. Goal 3 is to find out the effects of canistherapy on nursing at the department with a canistherapy programme already going. And finally Goal 4 is to find out if seniors are aware of what canistherapy is about and if they are interested in introducing this therapy at their LTC department. These goals have been accomplished. Hypothesis No 1: ?Canistherapy leads to better self-care of the sick seniors in long term care departments,? has not been confirmed. Hypothesis No 2: ?Canistherapy leads to better results in the hospitalization of seniors in long term care departments,? has been confirmed. Hypothesis No 3: ?Canisthrapy has positive effects on nursing of the sick seniors at long term care departments with a canistherapy programme already going,? has not been confirmed. Hypothesis No 4: ?Seniors are aware of what canistherapy is about,? has been confirmed. Hypothesis No 5: ?Seniors are interested in introducing this therapy at their long term therapy department where it has not been introduced yet,? has been confirmed. The results of the present work have been passed over to the long term care departments where the inquiry took place. Containing valuable information, the results will help the LTC departments in their further work and as a motivation to other activities in long term care. Furthermore, the author has created an information brochure for nurses which has also been handed over to the LTC units where the inquiry took place.

Patient selfcare with nostrils-stomach tube
BLABOLILOVÁ, Alena
In the theoretical part anatomical sections of the digestive tract from the oral cavity to the small intestine are described. Possible indications for nasogastric probe placement, the method for placement and care of this invasive input are also discussed. A questionnaire investigation was conducted. With an agreement of the head nurse the questionnaire inquiry was carried out in the Jablonec nad Nisou hospital. 7 patients with a nasogastical probe and 47 nurses form surgical and internal departments took part in the investigation. Closed questionnaires were distributed to the respondents. We focused on patients´ experience concerning limitations caused by the probe, such as fluid and food intake, breathing, hygiene, sleeping, dressing, walking, contact with their neighbourhood, whether they feel ashamed and who helps them eliminate the deficit in these activities. We also assessed the attitude of nurses working in surgical and internal departments to the same activities in patients with a nasogastric probe. The opinions of nurses and patients were compared. The investigation aimed at the group of nurses was extended by questions about nursing standards for the care of patients with a nasogastric probe. Information obtained in this thesis will serve the hospital Jablonec nad Nisou management as a basis for evaluating suitability of recasting nursing standards relating to the care for patients with a nasogastric probe. It may also be a stimulus to organize professional seminars on the subject not only for nurses, but also for doctors in the future.
