Nursing care for alcohol-intoxicated patients in the traumatology unit
VRCHLAVSKÁ, Aneta
The thesis addresses the issue of nursing care for patients intoxicated with alcohol in the trauma centre, while being divided into two parts, meaning theoretical and practical. The theoretical part focused on defining the field of traumatology, injuries, ethyl alcohol, and the connection between injuries and alcohol. It also provided a description of patient care in traumatology, the specifics of nursing care for alcohol-intoxicated patients, and communication with intoxicated patients, including communication with aggressive patients. The aim of the research part of the thesis was to describe the specifics of nursing care for alcohol-intoxicated patients and to evaluate the communication between the patient and the nurse. Qualitative research was chosen for the research part. Data collection took place through written and verbal methods in the form of semi-structured interviews in early April. Data analysis was conducted using the pen-and-paper method. Subsequently, the data were organized into a system of open coding, comprising three categories and twelve subcategories. The research sample consisted of ten general nurses working in the trauma centre, six in the standard ward, and four nurses in the intensive care unit. The results indicated that except for one nurse, the surveyed nurses regularly encounter patients intoxicated with alcohol in their workplaces. According to the statements of the informants, the most common types of traumas associated with alcohol intoxication include falls, traffic accidents, suicides, assaults, visits to catering establishments or work in construction. Furthermore, the interviews revealed that the surveyed nurses perceive differences in nursing care and communication with patients who have trauma unrelated to intoxication and vice versa. They find the approach to intoxicated patients more demanding in this regard. In the interviews, the nurses mentioned the frequent practice of dealing with aggressive, uncooperative patients. Some nurses admitted that their personal attitudes towards intoxicated patients often influence their approach to these patients. It also emerged from the interviews that the surveyed nurses are not offered any further education in this area. The obtained results provided insights into the specifics of the issue, indicating potential communication shortcomings with patients for correction. The thesis will serve as a resource for creating simulation training scenarios (Appendix 1) to educate general nurses working in the trauma centre.

Nurses' approach to patients with dementia in general hospital wards
VAN HORIK, Nina
This bachelor thesis focuses on the approach of nurses to patients with dementia in standard wards. The thesis consists of a theoretical and an empirical part. The theoretical part contains the definition of the term dementia, distionction of individual types and stages, distinction of symptoms, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapy. Furthermore, it deals with communication and attitudes towards patients with dementia and problematic behaviour stemming from the disease. In the empirical part of the thesis, the aim was to identify general nurses' approaches to patients with dementia, the factors that may influence their approach, and then compare approaches of nurses with each other. A quantative method using a non-standardised questionnaire was chosen to conduct the research. The questionnaire was used to examine the approach of nurses to patients with dementia and to their awareness of specific and modern methods used in the care of patients with dementia. The responses of respondents from four types of standard wards were then statistically analysed. The results show that neither the length of practice nor the highest educational attainment affects the approach of nurses to patients with dementia, on the contrary, what affects their approach is the type of ward. It was also found that the use of modern methods does not depend on the education of the nurses, but again on the type of ward. The results of the investigation highlight the divergent approaches of nurses to patients with dementia and what factors may influence the approach. The result of the thesis can be used to develop a seminar to inform about modern methods in the care of patients with dementia and how to communicate and treat the patients.

Setting the Communication within an Organization from the Perspective of the Organization's Management and Individual Workers
BICEROVÁ, Markéta
The diploma thesis deals with the topic of communication settings in organizations and summarizes its settings in three arbitrarily selected organizations. The diploma thesis has two goals: to find out how communication is set up between management and individual workers in organizations and to map whether and how supervision takes place and how they help in setting up communication between workers. The research is carried out using a qualitative research strategy using a semi-structured interview. An arbitrary selection method is chosen for the selection of the research set. The research team consists of 11 employees, of whom two employees are in the position of the director of the organization and one is in the position of service manager. The analysis of the results is done by open coding and axial coding, and a paradigmatic model is created. The obtained data is processed in the Canva program. Data analysis shows how employees perceive the communication settings in the organization in which they work, what benefit they have for the employees of the organization and whether they help to improve communication between them. Employees of organizations perceive communication as very important; they continuously work on the quality of communication and try to improve it. They perceive supervision as an integral part of the high-quality operation of the organization and at the same time they perceive that supervision helps both in improving internal and external communication, as well as preventing burnout and contributing to the psychological well-being of all employees. The diploma thesis contains a subjective evaluation of the quality of communication between workers, evaluation, and benefits of supervision, which can serve as feedback for organizations in which the issue of internal communication or the issue of supervision is addressed.

The role of the nurse in perioperative nursing care.
RŮŽIČKOVÁ, Anna
The bachelor thesis focuses on the importance of nurses in nursing care during the perioperative phase, which is one of the main parts of the surgical process. The aim of this thesis is to explore the roles of perioperative nurses and to clarify the motivation for their profession. The data was collected by questionnaire method, semi-structured interview technique. The research sample consisted of ten perioperative nurses working in central operating rooms. The results of the interviews showed that the instrumental nurses carefully prepare for each surgical procedure, ensure hand hygiene and disinfection, prepare the necessary instruments and assist in the preparation of the operating team. During the operation, they administer the instruments, assist the surgeon and check the progress of the procedure. After the operation, they check the instruments and clean up. The circulating nurses are involved in preparing instruments and supplies, checking the patient's condition, assisting with drape fitting and providing documentation. They work with the team during the procedure, completing paperwork and replenishing supplies. After the procedure, they check documentation, perform housekeeping, and ensure that instruments are dispatched for sterilization. The sterilization nurse position has been moved from the operating room to the central sterilization area, which is part of the central operating rooms and specializes in sterilizing and disinfecting surgical instruments and supplies. Nurses defined motivation in terms of positive factors (teamwork, safe surgery, high nursing proficiency, successful outcome, modern equipment, and the opportunity to help patients) and negative factors (sudden complications, stress, long standing procedures, excessive paperwork, negative physician reactions, and burnout syndrome). The survey also revealed that a love of the field, a passion for patient care, and the opportunity to help others are essential for doing this work. The results of the research point to the possibility of implementing a structured mentoring programme in perioperative care, through regular meetings and mutual sharing of experiences, to enable nurses to act as mentors to younger colleagues. The aim is to promote a supportive working environment and professional development. The work has the potential to motivate and inspire students in their choice of future careers and can contribute to the optimization and coordination of work in the operating room through practical recommendations and suggestions.
