Nurse management of patients with visual impairment during admission and hospitalization
PRÁŠILOVÁ, Renáta
The present thesis focuses on managing the work of nurses caring for patients with visual impairment. Visually challenged patients constitute a particular group of patients with needs and demands different from those of sighted patients due to their visual impairment. The research aimed to investigate the experiences and knowledge of nurses providing care to patients with visual impairment and to identify the most frequent challenges and barriers that arise when delivering care. The empirical part of the thesis used qualitative research methods. Data was gathered using semi-structured interviews. Even though the research results cannot be generalised as they are specific to the research population, they revealed many very serious difficulties that nurses and patients have to deal with daily. The research also highlighted the underlying causes of these difficulties. Nurses have limited experience in treating patients with visual impairment. The lack of training programmes for this specific group of patients means that nurses do not know how to approach and communicate with them appropriately. The results of the present thesis may inspire the management of healthcare providers responsible for providing a safe environment for patients with visual impairments. The research results indicate a general deficiency in training programmes focusing on the care of the visually impaired.

BOLVÁRI, Eliška
The bachelor thesis deals with specifics of motor skills development of preschool children with visual impairment. The theoretical part describes the issues of visual impairment with a focus on the diagnoses that can occur in the children research group. Further discusses the options, how the children with a visual disability can be educated in preschool age. Subsequently, attention is focused on the specifics of development, first on cognitive domain, then on the motor domain. At the end of theoretical part is described the diagnostics of motor skills, especially MABC-2 tests, which is further used in practical part. Main goal of practical part of bachelor thesis was to create, provide and evaluate the effectivity of short intervetion programme for children with visual impairment, that also have weakened motor skills. Programme was compiled individualy, based on case study and input data from MABC-2 test for each children. Evaluation effectiveness of intervention programme was at the end verified by output results from same MABC-2 tests. Although the intervetion programme was assembled and based on individual needs, it´s possible to use it or to be inspired by it for further work with visualy impaired children. On the basis of results, when we´re designing a programme, it´s advisable to set a smaller number of development objectives and to profile more the programme to one part of motor development. At the same time it is important to focus on motivation of children and eventually adapt the programme to the child´s interests. These steps can play a big role in the effectiveness of programme.

The aim of the research is to describe how people reflect on their process of acceptance of sight loss and what areas have influenced this acceptance and what the differences are between male and female experiences in relation to their personality traits. Using qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews with three respondents, it became clear that the most significant change for respondents was a change in mindset and motivation to cope with the crisis situation. Furthermore, monitoring one's own progress towards self-sufficiency and the support of those around them proved to have a great influence on the acceptance process. Professional support and help also played a significant role. Furthermore, it was possible to observe differences in...

Nursing care for a child patient with visual ampairment - strabismus
ŽLIČAŘOVÁ, Tereza
This bachelor thesis deals with the nursing care of a pediatric patient with the visual impairment/ strabismus. The name of this visual defect is derived from the Greek word strabidzein - squint. The Czech name for this visual impairment is squint. If this defect is not detected and diagnosed early in a child's life, it can cause health complications later in his life. If treated late, it can cause health complications also in adulthood. The first aim of the bachelor thesis was to map the specifics of nursing care in a pediatric patient with this diagnosed defect, especially in hospitalized children. The second aim was to map the role of the nurse in the education of the pediatric patient with diagnosed visual impairment/ strabismus, especially in the preoperative and postoperative care of hospitalized children. The third aim was to map the impact of the disease on the psychological needs of pediatric patients with strabismus, both in hospitalised children and in families with children with strabismus. The final aim was to map the impact of the disease on the social needs of the pediatric patient with strabismus, also in the case of hospitalised children, as well as the impact on the social needs of the child's family. The research part of the study was created based on a qualitative investigation, using the method of interviewing families with children with strabismus and their parents and nurses working at the Eye Clinic of the Children's Hospital FN Brno. Data collection was carried out using in-depth interview technique. Data collection in families was conducted in person or online and in-depth interviews with nurses were conducted in person on the ward at the hospital. The results were processed using the pencil and paper method into categories and subcategories. The survey found that currently the approach in pre - and post-operative care is very individual and adapted to the needs of pediatric patients. Hospitalization of a pediatric patient with a legal representative or an attendant becomes a matter of course according to the possibilities of the department. In the course of our investigation, it was found that the specifics of nursing care are mostly related to the fact that the child cannot see, has one or both eyes covered after surgery. And medical staff becoming the "eyes" of the child and all care is then based on that. Furthermore, the roles of the nurse in the education of the pediatric patient were mapped, where it was found how important it is to educate the child according to his age, but it is also essential to educate the parents. And thanks to this, the whole hospitalization is usually calmer, because parents have enough information and the mutual cooperation between hospital staff and parents works. Furthermore, it was confirmed that young children with strabismus do not have problems with integration into the collective, neither does strabismus cause them problems in sports activities. However, no child in the interviews is doing the sport at a professional level, the possibility of restrictions cannot be assessed here. It has also been found that often the strabismus itself and its diagnosis are psychologically more difficult for parents to bear than for the children themselves. In the end, it was found that the children found it most difficult to use the occlusor among the compensatory aids. Here, further adaptation of this compensatory aid to the child is needed so that it is as suitable as possible and the treatment can be effective. The results obtained from the research can be used to create an educational leaflet for children and their parents motivating them to wear the occlusor and other compensatory aids for strabismus. The reason for this is that families were found to frequently refuse to wear an occlusor or glasses as a compensatory aid, or to take them off.
