Antidekubital care and the differencies in nursing of dekubits in selected retiremens homes.
STEJSKALOVÁ, Petra
Population aging is the most characteristic feature of the demographic development of the Czech Republic and other developed countries in Europe. This demographic development will continue in the years to come. It will be enhanced by aging of members of the populous age-group and afterwards in particular by the increasing life expectancy. A large number of clients of retirement homes are immobile and incline to decubitus development. The objective of my work was to find differences in anti-decubitus equipment used in selected retirement homes and to ascertain awareness of nurses working in those facilities in respect of modern means to treat decubitus. I obtained the information by a questioning method, using a questionnaire completed by nurses working in retirement homes in the Region of South Bohemia; for comparison, the questionnaire was completed by nurses from a retirement home in the Region of Central Bohemia. A directed interview with selected seniors was also used. The results of the work may be used for analysis of different approaches, as far as usage of wound healing means is concerned, and for possible creation of a comprehensive conception in the field of application.

Methods of handling of rather less self-sufficient and non-self-sufficient clients in residential houses for elderly persons in the Region of South Bohemia
ČÁPOVÁ, Pavlína
Handling of clients is an integral part of everyday work of most of nurses. It constitutes also the largest physical load for nurses. Correctly conducted handling of a client and usage of handling aids reduces both the physical load for nurses and the risks of nurses{\crq} injuries sustained in relation with handling. As far as clients are concerned, the risks connected with handling are reduced and the comfort of the nursing care is increased then. Handling includes positioning, shifting, lifting to chairs and verticalisation. Correct handling of a client allows prevention of the complications resulting from immobility and thus also maintenance and even renewal of a client{\crq}s self-sufficiency. The bachelor thesis themed ``Methods of handling of rather less self-sufficient and non-self-sufficient clients in residential houses for elderly persons in the Region of South Bohemia{\crqq} has a research character. It is divided into two parts {--} a theoretical and a practical one. The theoretical part is focused on old-age, self-sufficiency, immobility and handling of clients. The practical part consists of a quantitative research conducted by a questionnaire method, in which we attempt to confirm the raised hypotheses. H1: Nursing staff has no practical experience in the area of handling of clients. H2: Residential houses for elderly persons are not sufficiently equipped with handling aids. H3: Nursing staff in residential houses for elderly persons does not require changes in the established manner of handling of clients. Nurses in residential houses for elderly persons in the Region of South Bohemia obtained 150 questionnaires, of which 126 were returned, i.e. 84 %. The final set of regularly filled out questionnaires for the research consisted of 108 questionnaires. The objective of the thesis is to ascertain the level of knowledge and practical experience of nurses in the area of handling of clients, and to ascertain and compare the manners of utilization of technical aids and equipment facilitating handling in residential houses for elderly persons in the Region of South Bohemia. The results of the thesis should redound to more regardful, comfortable and considerate handling of rather less and non-self-sufficient clients in residential houses for elderly persons, and facilitate the work of nursing staff in terms of their own health.
