SCHRIMPFOVÁ, Pavla
The Bachelor?s Thesis was focused on co-operation of nurses with selected support groups. Four objectives were set. Objective 1: To find out the nurses? awareness of any support groups. Objective 2: To find out if the nurses co-operate with the support groups. Objective 3: To point out to the nurses? collaboration with the support groups. Objective 4: the selected support groups representatives? opinion on their co-operation with the nurses. A quantitative and qualitative investigation was chosen for the purpose of data gathering. The quantity examination was done by questioning method using a way of questionnaire, the quality one was carried out by questioning method using a way of non-standardized dialogue. Two hypotheses and 2 research questions were defined. Hypothesis 1: the nurses are informed about the existence of support groups, it was confirmed. Hypothesis 2: the nurses co-operate with the support groups, it wasn?t confirmed. Research question 1: How do the selected support groups? representatives perceive present co-operation with the nurses? Answer: The nurses? collaboration with support groups differs from according to a particular support group. Representatives of Diabetic Union of the Czech Republic, Local Unit Plzeň evaluate their collaboration with nurses to be ideal. The nurses do lecturing for the Union, they conduct special discussions and take part in meetings in which they provide blood pressure, glycaemia, cholesterol measuring with concerned people. Further, the nurses participate in a Dia-Club operating, they act educationally in re-conditional stays offering sick people any contacts to the Diabetic Union, the Dia-Club and hand over any information brochures. The Breast Carcinoma Patient Association?s representatives - MAMMA HELP CENTRE Plzeň state the nurses don?t collaborate with them at all. Representatives of ILCO Colostomy Patients Association Tábor point out to a fact that only one specialised nurse collaborates with them, she provides contacts, lectures in the colostomy club, she ensures and hands over compensating aids and conducts chatting. Research question 2: What conception do the selected support groups? representatives have as to possibilities of further co-operation with nurses? Answer: The representatives of Diabetic Union of the CR, Local Unit Plzeň wouldn?t change their present co-operation anyhow. The representatives of MAMMA HELP CENTRE Plzeň state the nurses should provide contacts and information about the association; they should show interest in its activity, visit the centre, do lecturing for sick people here and participate in events arranged by the association. The representatives of ILCO colostomy patients Association Tábor state the nurses should provide information about the association with sick people; they should show interest in its activity, participate in arranged events and be engaged more. There is a recommendation for actual setting to create an information leaflet listing of patients? organisations whim them the support groups are effective and this leaflet should be provided with hospital facilities Hospital České Budějovice a.s. and Faculty Hospital Plzeň. Another occasion to make use of gained information might be a seminar arrangement for nurses within life long learning.
