Monitoring of body temperature problems in health care in the ICU and ARD
 TŮMOVÁ, Pavlína
Monitoring of physiological functions is one of the most important nursing treatments practised at Intensive Care Units or Anaesthetic Resuscitation Departments . Following up of body temperature belongs among the physiological functions monitored at the intensive care whereas the temperature?s duly measured results represent an unsustainable component in order to determine diagnosis and subsequent prognosis. It was the Bachelor Thesis objective to discover how well nurses orientate themselves in the problem area of body temperature monitoring. A research investigation was performed applying a quantitative method. The investigative file was created by generally trained nurses who work at ICUs and ARDs in six medical facilities of West Bohemian Region. In total 150 questionnaires were distributed after the research investigation had been approved by head nurses or managing nurses for attending care. Total number of duly filled questionnaires was 120 ones which were processed and thus this number was stated as 100 %. It resulted from nurses? answers in the questionnaires they perceived the body temperature measuring as automatic, routine part of their daily work at which technical skill, ability of every nurse and knowledge how to handle particular tools or aids are important prerequisites. The first goal was set to find out whether nurses understand the importance of correct monitoring of body temperature at ARDs and JCUs. The nurses indicated right values of body temperature and any ups and downs weren?t indifferent to them. It was the second goal to understand measuring techniques the nurses apply, which was fulfilled and the result thereof was reflected in the theoretical part in which all techniques of measurements are described. The third goal was to discover an availability of suitable tools and aids to monitor the body temperature. The fourth goal was set to find out whether nurses dispose of an elaborated standard to monitor the body temperature. The fifth goal was to discover whether nurses were able to use accurately any available tools and aids for body temperature monitoring. The above goals were met. The last, sixth goal was to find out if nurses were supported by their managements at purchasing new tools and aids. It was found out the nurses needed motivation to attend lectures aimed at the theme of body temperature monitoring and if those lectures would be prepared in an interesting way they will benefit from.
