The importance of basal stimulation in patient care in the Department of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation
MARKOVÁ, Aneta
The bachelor thesis includes the use of the concept of basal stimulation at the Anesthesiology and resuscitation ward and the specifics of nursing care of the patient in this ward. It deals with the application of the concept of basal stimulation in the Department of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation. The concept of basal stimulation was developed by educator Andreas Fröhlich in the 20th century during his research project as a doctoral student. He proved that the most important thing is the stimulation of the so-called basal senses. This concept serves to support human perception and communication. It is based on scientific knowledge of the neurophysiological development of the child. The concept was first applied in the care of children with severe congenital disabilities. It is now being applied in palliative and intensive care, social services and psychiatric nursing. The aim of this study is to find out what elements of basal Stimulation are used in different hospitals in the ARO in the nursing care of the patient. For the research investigation, the ARO at the Pelhřimov Hospital and the České Budějovice Hospital were selected. For the practical part, two research questions were set. The first one describes the importance of basal stimulation in patient care in ARO and the second question deals with the applied elements of BS in Hospital Pelhřimov and Hospital České Budějovice. According to the data analysis, two categories and seven subcategories were created. From the research survey it was found that all respondents perceived the importance of basal stimulation applied in ARO very positively, and they try to apply this concept in their nursing care of patients. In the research investigation, it was found that the respondents agree on most of the applied elements and the most used element is the initiating touch.

Nursing care for women after breast gland operations
EISENWORTOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor's thesis, entitled "Nursing care for women after breast gland operations," investigates the provision of care to women following oncological diseases. The research draws on interviews with nurses who deliver this care, focusing on those employed in surgical departments, oncology clinics, and general practitioners' clinics for adults. The theoretical framework of the thesis concentrates on nursing care post-surgery and the ensuing convalescent care, incorporating anatomical basics and preoperative care into its scope. The objectives of the study were to ascertain the role of the nurse in patient care following breast surgery, to identify specific aspects of postoperative care, and to define the nurse's role during the convalescence period. The empirical section of the thesis employs qualitative research methods, specifically semi-structured interviews with nurses working in the aforementioned departments. Ten nurses participated in this study: five from surgical departments, three from oncology clinics, and two from a general practitioner's clinic. Findings reveal the processes involved in nursing care, detailing preoperative, postoperative, and long-term care from the perspective of nurses. Further insights were gained into the educational activities performed by nurses and the psychological aspects of patient care, as reported by the nurses. The study also highlights current shortcomings in patient care and explores potential future alternatives. Recommendations for future practice emphasize the importance for nurses to engage with emerging knowledge in the care of patients with oncological conditions.

When the general nurse is a man...
Tomášková, Vanda ; Růžička, Michal (advisor) ; Bosá, Monika (referee)
In the upcoming years, the healthcare and social system in the Czech Republic is expected to encounter a significant surge in the deficit of general nurses due to the anticipated retirements. One of the strategies that could help mitigate the impacts of the expected shortage of healthcare professionals in this area of expertise is to attract more men to pursue careers in nursing. This thesis examines the subject of integration of men into teams predominantly composed of women in intensive care units. The aim of the thesis is to determine how alterations in the gender composition of initially exclusively female teams impact the processes related to group dynamics. Interim objectives included finding a suitable strategy to facilitate men's entry into teams predominantly composed of women, as well as identifying the abilities and skills through which men could improve the current provision of nursing care. With information obtained in this manner, we should be able to implement appropriate measures that support not just the recruitment but also the retention of new employees. The key challenge in this area will be to guarantee transparency and equal conditions for both women and men who will choose to work in this area of expertise. Keywords: gender, gender stereotypes, group dynamics, human...

Patients' rights from the perspective of patients
ZRNOVÁ, Ivana
The bachelor thesis is dedicated to patients' rights including nursing. Patients have several rights that relate to their health care and privacy. These rights include the right to information about their health and treatment and freedom to choose their doctor and health care facility, the right to privacy and protection of personal data, the right to respect one's religious and cultural practices, the right to basic hygiene and privacy during hospitalisation, the right to fair and equal treatment without discrimination, and many others. These rights are protected by health care laws and regulations, and patients can request to have them respected if they are violated. It is important that patients are informed about their rights and that they are allowed to actively use them so that they can receive quality health care and respect for their rights. The aim of this thesis is to find out the awareness of patients about their rights and to find out the compliance of selected rights from the patient's perspective. The aim has been achieved through quantitative research which includes a questionnaire of my own design. The research was conducted in regional hospitals among patients who were fully oriented. The results of the research will be used by the management of health service delivery for optimization of health care and for health professionals and for the students of nursing.

Principles of preparation and administration of selected Medicaments in the Intensive Care
ZÁRUBA, Petr
According to the European Union, medication errors are among the most common adverse events connected with the provision of healthcare services. The safety of nursing care is a basic indicator of the quality of health care providers. One of the basic activities of general nurses is the preparation and administration of medicines, during which, especially in intensive care, even the slightest non-compliance can harm the patient. When preparing and administering medicines it is therefore essential that general nurses consistently follow safety regulations, internal guidelines of health care providers, recommendations of the World Health Organization and national nursing standards, which can effectively prevent potential errors. In clinical practice general nurses may not adhere to these measures for a variety of reasons, so it is important to establish and analyse them. In the theoretical part, the legislative framework for the preparation and administration of medicines in the Czech Republic is defined. This part also describes general principles of handling medicines connected with the problem of medication errors in the context of the quality of health services and defines forms of medicines and their application methods. The practical part of the paper sets out to determine what knowledge nurses working in intensive care have, whether they apply this knowledge in their work process and whether they observe failings of their colleagues relating to the preparation and administration of medicines. With this in mind, four hypotheses and six research questions were established. A quantitative method, non-standardised questionnaire technique was used to collect data. After the quantitative method, the method of qualitative investigation by observation and the technique of an in-depth semi-structured interview were conducted. The research population comprised non-medical health care workers (general nurses and paramedics) working in anaesthesiology-resuscitation departments and intensive care units of district-type hospitals. The quantitative data was processed using descriptive statistics with tables and graphs, while the qualitative data was processed using charts and diagrams.

The use of restraints in internal branch departments in Hospitals of the South Bohemia Region
RŮŽIČKOVÁ, Monika
This Bachelor thesis is both theoretical and practical. The first part of the theory focuses on an aggressive patient, the causes of aggression, expression, prevention, treatment and access to an aggressive patient. It also mentions aggression in hospitals. In the second part, the theme is restrictive devices, which are often used precisely in aggressive patients. It discusses in more detail the types of restraints, the principles in their use, the laws governing them, the documentation and the nursing care of the patient under restriction. Research goals: In this bachelor's thesis, 3 goals were set. The first was to map the nurses' experience with restrictive devices in practice. The second aim was to explore the nurses' attitude to these means. The third aim was to identify what shortcomings nurses saw in the issue of the use of restraints. Research questions: Three research questions were identified on the objectives of the work. 1. What experience do general nurses have in the use of restraints? 2. What is the general nurse's position on restraints? 3. Do general nurses perceive any shortcomings in the use of restraints? Methods: A qualitative research strategy was used in the practical part. The data collection took place through semi-structured interviews conducted with general nurses in the internal departments of hospitals of the South Bohemia Region. The selection of informace was deliberate, with a total of 12. Results: Using the pencil paper method of data analysis, we created 3 categories of questions and 21 subcategories. All nurses have experience of using curtsies and medication from their practice. The frequency of their use varies according to the ward they work in. Almost half of the nurses had a bad experience concerning the improper use of restrictive medication. Nurses' attitudes are slightly more positive positive mainly due to patient and staff protection. From the nurses' perspective, the positives outweigh the negatives when it comes to restrictive measures. Half of the nurses expressed that they were aware of the shortcomings of this issue. The most frequently mentioned was the lack of availability of orderlies or security guards on the ward.

POSTLOVÁ, Kristina
The bachelor thesis discusses the time frame of the work of general nurses in a standard workplace. The theoretical part describes information about the practice of the profession and education in the field of general nursing (conditions for the practice of the profession, qualification, specialization and lifelong education). Furthermore, the specifics of the profession of a general nurse are described, including competencies, the nursing care provided by general nurses is defined, and the documentation of health service providers, which is maintained by general nurses, is also presented. The next part of the bachelor's thesis deals with the analysis of work in nursing, presents its methodology (time frame of the working day, observation, interview), which will be used for the development of the research part of the work. The tools used to measure the workload of general nurses in a standard workplace are also compared with the same tools used in intensive care units. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to find out what activities a general nurse performs during a shift, including the time-consuming nature of these activities, and the subsequent mapping of work optimization topics proposed by observed general nurses at a standard workplace. The research part is implemented using a qualitative research method, where the research sample consists of general nurses from a selected standard workplace. Using a semi-structured observation of a time frame of the work of general nurses, time data is collected about the time used for individual activities performed. Through a semi-structured interview, general nurses' suggestions for optimizing work at a standard workplace in terms of time are ascertained.
