The psychical Load of Intensive Care Nurses
Svitáková, Hana ; Vachková, Eva (referee) ; Mellanová, Alena (advisor)
The profession of nurse is closely connected with very intensive psychical and physical load, especially in the intensive care units (ICU). The interesting, but very sad fact, is that the mortality in ICU units in Czech republic is about 20%. Dying of each patient is of course a very stressful situation for his relatives and also for attending doctors and nurses. These frequent stressful situations result often in psychical or physical burnout by nurses in ICU. The unpleasant consequence of burnout by nurses is very often the change of job. The target of this thesis is to map the psychical load of nurses in ICU in czech hospitals. The target was met. The hypothesis number 1 was confirmed by the research. The hypothesis 2, 3, 4, 5 weren't confirmed. This diploma thesis has two main parts - teoretical and practical. The practical part of this diploma thesis is the qualitative research, that was made by questionnairies, that were sent to nurses of ICU in czech hospitals. The total number of sent questionnairies was 257 - the number of answered and returned questionnairies was 210 (82%). These 210 questionnaries were used in this diploma thesis.

Jarošová, Jana ; Kulhavá, Miluše (advisor) ; Mellanová, Alena (referee)
The thesis is divided into two parts. A theoretical part and an empirical part. The theoretical part, describes physiological childbirth. Its partial phases, work of midwives and treatment for newborn child. Aromatherapy, homeopathy, acupuncture and acupressure are described as well. There is a note about a birth plan, childbirth at home and outpatient childbirth. Longer, empirical part was carried out by a method of guantitative research. It was supposed to discover what kinds of alternative methods were offered to women and which of them the women used. I was also interested, whether the women had their birth plan, who accompanied them to give birth and whether they were satisfied with the childbirthes. 11 I followed two samples - women in labour from Prague and women in labour from outside-Prague hospitals. In Prague, I guestioned women from Fakultní Thomayerova nemocnice, Fakultní nemocnice Bulovka and Fakultní nemocnice Motol. From outside-Prague hospitals, I chose : Městská nemocnice Neratovice, Nemocnice s poliklinikou Mělník. The other hospital does not want to be mentioned. Women who had Ceasarean section were not guestioned.

Further on there are general characteristics of the concept of anxiety and fear with their demonstrations and results.

The research project of my graduation work was focused at the detection of how far the primiparae experience fear and anxiety during pregnancy and what reasons and cause are indicated. We tried to find out if there are any correlations between fear and anxiety in pregnant women and if there is any possibility to estimate in advance which group of women would experience fear and anxiety more. We also tried to find out what helps the pregnant women to get rid of these fears and anxiety or how can these feelings be reduced and if there is any possibility to prevent these feelings. Next we wanted to know how the primiparae get the information about pregnancy and which information is considered most appropriate.
