The role of the nurse in the developement of self-sufficiency of geriatric patient.
MÁLOVÁ, Dominika
The aim of this thesis is to describe the role of the nurse in the development of the self-sufficiency of the geriatric patient in the health care facility and in the residential social facilities. In connection with this objective, the main hypothesis has been established: Nurses working in a health care facility perceive the importance of developing self-sufficiency differently than nurses working in social care facilities. The empirical part of the thesis was elaborated using a quantitative research survey, which was carried out using a questionnaire of author´s own design. The questionnaire included questions about nursing perceptions and attitudes to maintain and develop the self-sufficiency of a patient/senior-age client in a hospital and social care facility. The first part was focused on basic identification data, the second part dealt with how sisters perceive the maintenance and development of seniors' self-sufficiency. The next part was to find out how nurses are self-serving in a self-sufficient patient. Further, the questionnaire examined the nurses' efforts to use compensatory aids and their opinion of working with other specialists. The obtained results were processed in MS Excel using graphs and statistical testing. The research group consisted of nurses working in hospital facilities and social care facilities in the South Bohemian Region. The results of the thesis are divided into 5 areas, where the view and attitude of nurses working in individual facilities for the development of self-sufficiency of the patient / client of the senior age is compared. Further, they describe the opinions of the sisters on: the perception of the importance of the development of seniors' self-sufficiency, the influence of self-sufficiency on the quality of the senior´s life, the performance of self-care for the seniors and the use of compensatory aids in maintaining and developing their self-sufficiency. The work provides a general view of the patient/seniors in the field of maintaining and developing self-sufficiency. The results can be used by nurses in practice as well as students of non-medical health care disciplines. It also provides evidence of the importance of maintaining and developing self-sufficiency in providing comprehensive care and improving the quality of life of seniors. The work can be the basis for further research.
