Pain assessment by a registered nurse - possibilities and reality
Nikolla, Margareta ; Otcová, Václava (advisor) ; Vojáčková, Anna (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of assessing the intensity of patient's pain from the perspective of the nurse. It describes what the nurse's options are and what the reality is in the end. The aim of the thesis was to find out, whether the nurses use the measuring scales, especially the one mentioned in the standards of the Central Military Hospital in Prague, where the thesis was written. The theoretical part focuses on the pain itself, its definition, physiology, treatment options and ways in which its intensity can be assessed. The practical part focuses more on how the nurses perceive pain and what methods they use for its evaluation. During the elaboration of the practical part, I used two methods, namely covert observation and structured interview. As I mentioned above, the practical part took place in the Central Military Hospital, so it adhered to its standards and the standards of the ward. The practical part also discusses the methods of pain assessment that nurses do and do not use and their justification. Assessing pain is the first step to starting the treatment and nurses have a big role here.
