The use of TIME management in nursing practice
RATHOVÁ, Lenka
The bachelor thesis deals with the use of the TIME management concept in the practice of nursing. The theoretical part presents knowledge related to wound management, with the primary focus on the concept of TIME management and its use in nursing. In the empirical part, the first objective was to compare the knowledge of the TIME management concept in terms of the education of the nursing staff. The study's second objective was to find out the kind of experience nurses have in TIME management. The third and last objective was to map whether, an000d to what extent, TIME management is being used in selected wards. To meet the objectives, three hypotheses were formulated. The objectives were achieved through quantitative research using a non-standardized questionnaire. The research population included general nurses working in selected wards in the Klatovy hospital. The total number of respondents was 140. The results obtained verified that respondents with higher education more often declared knowledge of the rating scales (p = 0.006), reflecting the importance of educational background when preparing to provide effective care to non-healing wounds. When assessing the level of experience with TIME management, there were no significant changes in wound parameter scores, which related to respondents' length of experience. It was also found that the use of therapeutic methods in TIME management varied by type and specialization of the ward, which is primarily related to the frequency of the occurrence of non-healing wounds in a given workplace.
