Svitáková, Hana ; Mellanová, Alena (advisor) ; Vachková, Eva (referee)
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. This research was made in january and february in 2010. The results of the research will be used in the future in czech hospitals in case of their concern. When...

Possibilities of managing the situacion when first aid´s crew is attacked
SVITÁKOVÁ, Hana
Abstract Currently media more and more often inform about various attacks, violence, criminal acts or aggression. These are basically types of interpersonal relationships with that we live daily. We may observe such negative aspects of human behaviour even on professional level. That concerns in particular activities of so called assistance jobs. Assistant jobs include but are not limited to services of ambulance providing daily pre-hospitalization emergency health care to patients in acute situations. Number of rescuers who were attacked and injured is increasing. Problematic situation at the place of their response is often not suitably solved by ambulance staff and that makes it difficult to provide good quality care to patients. A quantitative research has been conducted within this Bachelor essay. Data was collected based on responses to questions. The quantitative research has been performed in form of a questionnaire. The subjects of research were ambulance rescuers, response nurses, doctors and ambulance drivers of South Bohemian Ambulance. The research has been performed in April 2008. The Bachelor essay includes two sections, one practical and one theoretical. The purpose of the essay was to map the issue of ambulance crew attacks. The objective has been achieved. The following three hypotheses have been formulated. Hypothesis No. 1: Health rescuers feel to be threatened by patients/clients more than ambulance drivers. This hypothesis has not been confirmed. Hypothesis No. 2: Ambulance doctors feel to be threatened by patients/clients less than health rescuers. This hypothesis has not been confirmed. Hypothesis No. 3: Health rescuers have better self defence skills than nurses working at ambulance. This hypothesis has not been confirmed. Results of the above research are to be published at www.zzsjck.cz. The will form a base for implementation of self defence courses in cooperation with Faculty of Health and Social Studies of South Bohemian University in České Budějovice.
