In the conclusion of the theoretical part of the thesis the problems of education and competence of nurses in psychiatric care are introduced, marginally mentioning the Turku declaration. The aim of the work The main aim of the thesis is to investigate the awareness of nurses working in psychiatric care of the clinical supervision options. The task of the second objective is to find out the opinion on supervision of nurses working in psychiatric care. The third objective is focused on means to assist nurses working in psychiatric care in their personal development and growth within their practices. The purpose of the fourth objective is to find experience with supervision of nurses working in psychiatric care. The methods used Qualitative investigation was chosen for the empirical part of the thesis. The method used for data collection was in the form of semi-structured interview. The interviews with the respondents were taken down using a voice recorder and transcribed, qualitative data was then analyzed by pencil and paper encoding technique and semantically organized into 27. groups of categorization. The selection of a research sample was intentional, consisting of twelve nurses working in psychiatric care in the Czech Republic. Results The research focused on nurses who do not have personal experience with supervision revealed that they have certain awareness of the supervisory process, however not quite sufficient to be able to describe the nature and function of supervision in its entirety. Their knowledge is rather theoretical. They understood supervision as help to solve disharmonious relationships in the workplace, as well as it could improve communication skills of the nurses, it would also assist in dealing with crisis intervention and prevent burnout syndrome. The results regarding nurses who do not participate in the supervisory process clearly indicated that they have insufficient support and the opportunity for both their professional and personal growth in their workplace, while this important could be solved by supervision. The research, which covered only nurses who have had personal experience with supervision and regularly participate in it, showed that their knowledge and skills related to the supervision process are quite sufficient to be able to understand and use supervision practically in the whole range. These nurses sees supervision as a benefit that would allow them not only to understood themselves, but also to learn how to manage challenging situations that are a part of their profession. Supervision gives them confidence, provides support and teaches them to deal with people who are part of their work process. Supervision has become a tool for preventing burnout and showed them how to use their own potential effectively. Conclusion This thesis is focused on the use of supervision in psychiatric nursing. Working with mentally challenged patients is very demanding, therefore supervision plays its justified role there. If you do not know yourself and you are not able to solve your own problems, you can never effectively and comprehensively address the problems of others, who are often desperately waiting for your help. The results will be presented at professional seminars designed not only to nurses working in psychiatric care.

RŮŽIČKOVÁ, Michaela
Abstract In our company the emphasis in the field of nursing care has increasingly been focused on preservation of a patient`s dignity and intimacy. In daily activities in a pacient the privacy and intimacy the patient may be affected which causes different reactions of such a patient. One might say that even after the routine procedure such as total hip replacement it is very important that the patient has enough privacy. The aims of this study were to assess how the intimacy in the postoperative care is ensured in patients undergoing total hip replacement at the intensive care units and to find out the level of knowledge of the nurses as for adherence to intimacy after total hip replacement. The research group consisted of patients who were hospitalized at the intensive care and standard units in the Hospital České Budějovice, a.s. (PLC), Faculty Hospital Olomouc and Military Hospital Olomouc. The second research group consisted of the nurses who worked at the intensive care and standard units in the Hospital České Budějovice, a.s. (PLC), the Hospital Šumperk, a.s., Faculty Hospital Olomouc and Military Hospital Olomouc. The research investigation was performed by the method using two ananymous questionnaires. The first defined hypothesis was confirmed. The patients at the intensive care units are more satisfield as for their intimacy compared to the patients at the standard units. The second hypothesis was also confirmed. The nurses have not enough time to ensure intimacy of the patient after total hip replacement. The third hypothesis was confirmed. The nurses have enough information of how to take care of the intimacy in the postoperative period. The fourth hypothesis was not confirmed. The nurses at the intensive care unit do not care about the intimacy with a higher interest compared to the nurses at the standard unit. The findings of this investigation show that the patients after total hip replacement at the intensive care unit are more satisfield with the provision of intimacy in the postoperative care compared to patients at the standard unit. Although the nurses do not have enough equipment to ensure the intimacy of a patient in the postoperative care, they know how to take care of intimacy in the postoperative care.
