Sampling of biological material in outpatient health care facilities viewed by a nurse.
SRBOVÁ, Kateřina
Sampling of biological material is one of the most frequent duties of nurses working in outpatient health care facilities. The nurse takes biological samples daily and has to respond to possible problems. Sampling of biological material is an important component of the patient´s examination and therefore it must be carried out correctly and properly. The quality of the procedure is affected by the nurse´s experience, skills and knowledge. It is important for a nurse working in an outpatient health care facility to master the sampling technique so that patients were satisfied and the samples did not get devaluated. The objective of my research was to give an account of the most frequent problems occuring when samples of biological material are taken in outpatient health care facilities, and to find out if nurses give patients enough information before the procedure. I set three hypotheses: the H I - nurse do not use protective aids while taking samples of biological material, the H II {--} nurse do not follow the recommended standards, the H III {--} nurse do not inform patients about preparations before taking samples of biological material. To achieve the objective and to verify the hypotheses the questionnaire method was used. Questionnaires were addressed both to patients and nurses. The research sample included 103 outpatients and 73 nurses from outpatient health care facilities in the South Bohemian and the Central Bohemian regions. The obtained data analysis showed that the H I {--} nurse do not use protective aids while taking samples of biological material {--} was not confirmed. H II {--} nurse do no follow the recommended standards {--} was not confirmed. The H III {--} nurse do not inform patients about preparations before taking samples of biological material {--} was not confirmed either. The results of my research reflect the fact that the most common problem is communication between a nurse and the patient. But there is more to be improved - patients education, the fixed placement of aids and the early transportation of samples to laboratories. I would like to make use of these conclusions and pass them over not only to nurses who took part in the research but also to the hospital managements. I intend to give a presentation on my research conclusions to nurses working in outpatient health care facilities.
