Lifestyle changing of the nurses working at ICU
JENERÁLOVÁ, Andrea
In our work, we have been working on changing of the lifestyle of nurses working at ICU. The aim of the work was to find out whether the nursing class at the ICU had an impact on their lifestyle. The thesis is divided into two parts. In the theoretical part, we have focused on the lifestyle characteristics, which included healthy nutrition, drinking regime, physical activity, sleeping and stress factors. We also characterized the ICU, the competence of the nurses at the ICU and their education. The research part is realized in the form of a qualitative approach, by using a semi-structured interview. For the research section, we have chosen three following research questions. What kind of lifestyle do nurses working at ICU have? Did the nurses change their lifestyle after joining the ICU? In which aspects and how did nurses significantly change their lifestyle after entering the ICU? The research sample consists of eight probands who have previously worked at the standard department and are currently working on ICUs. Probands were selected for internal ICU, surgical ICU, urological ICU and traumatic ICU in one of the hospitals in the South Bohemian Region. During the interview, we have been comparing the nurses' lifestyle at the standard department and the ICU. The results of the research showed that nurses have a poor quality of life. They eat irregularly, have poor sleep, which is born on the basis of interchange, they also have a lack of physical activity, because they have no time for it and they are tired after their work. Furthermore, the results of the research showed that nurses´ conditions (after their arrival to ICU) have been improved by eating aspects and their regularity, less stress situations and a better workplace atmosphere. Other aspects mentioned in the theoretical part were not significantly altered.
