VELIMSKÁ, Dana
The theme of the Bachelor Degree Work Nursing Care and Communication with the Patient in the Operating Theatre was chosen to map out the issue of the current level of the nursing care and communication with the patient in the environment which is for most of them stressful and makes increased demands both on the nursing care and on communication too. Nowadays this theme is very topical as patients´ participation in their treatment come to the fore and their awareness of the types of treatment and carried out surgeries is generally being increased. The proper communication level undoubtedly influences the patient´s state. The theoretical part of the work deals with the environment of the operating theatre and the nursing care provided by the anaesthetic nurse. Further it deals with the kinds of communication and its significance for the patient. The practical part contains the results of the quantitative research on the anaesthetic nurses providing nursing care in the operating theatre who also communicate with the patient in the operating theatre most of all. Further there are described results of the qualitative research on patients having experience with the stay in the operating theatre. The Bachelor Degree Work contains much information about particular characteristics of the nursing care in the operating theatre. It reveals hidden reserves in communication with the patient in this environment. It refers to the most often patients´ problems in communication with the operating team. It maps out the knowledge level of the anaesthetic nurses in the sphere of the nursing care and communication. There have been set several aims, hypotheses and research questions to write this work.
