The issue of acceptance of self-care about stoma after intestinal surgery.
MOCKOVÁ, Jana
Basic theoretical background: Stoma as a part of the surgical treatment of digestive tract diseases usually radically affects the life of the patient and his relatives. The patient has to face not only the severe diagnosis but also the result of the surgery concerning one of the most intimate human spheres. A significant part in the return to a full life is the acceptance of the stoma by the patient and his ability of being active when taking care of stoma. The theoretical part in the introduction describes the Theory of self-care deficit. The second part of the theoretical work summarizes basic information regarding the issue of derivation of intestinal stoma and the issue of acceptance of the changed body image and self-care. Objectives and hypotheses: The aim of this work is to find out differences in the acceptance of stoma and care for stoma among patients after intestinal surgery. To achieve the objective of the work, there were set three hypothesis. H1: Patients with a permanent stoma experience major changes in the psychosocial area than patients with temporary stoma. H2: In the postoperative period, women approach practising the stoma care differently than men. H3: Patients under 55 have more information about living with stoma than older patients. Methodology: The research part of the work has been carried out through quantitative research. The form of data gathering was an anonymous questionnaire. The only criterion of the selection of the respondents was the state of health after the intestinal surgery with the subsequent stoma. During the search of the respondents were addressed organizations joining the patients with stoma, stoma and proctologic ambulances of selected hospitals, hospices and homes for elderly people. The obtained data were processed by descriptive statistics in graphs by the help of Microsoft Office Excel 2010. Further on, the statistical evaluation of hypotheses was carried out. Hypotheses were tested by chi-square test in a PivotTable, the average values were compared by T-test. The chosen significance level was 5 %. Conclusion: The work provides a comprehensive look at the issue of acceptance of stoma self-care after intestinal surgery. Creating of stoma, regardless of age or sex of the patient and also regardless of its eventual duration radically influences the patient's life. This is necessary to remember all the time from the long lasting preoperative preparation to aftercare when the stoma patient should be provided by comprehensive care by nurses. The nurse should also help the patient to return to a normal life.

Nurse assistance in personal patient heath care education
ČERNÍKOVÁ, Jitka
The topic of my thesis is "Nurse Assistant in Patients Self-Care Education". Education in Nursing has certainly an irreplaceable position. Amputation means removing the peripheral portion of the body, mostly of a limb.Education is a very important element and an integral part of the nursing process, which aims to prevent the disease, teaching or restoration of health and plays a major role in improving the quality of life of the individual. Education of patients after lower limb amputation begins on the first day after surgery and ends with the release client for home care. An interaction between the nurse and the client after leg amputation is very important part of the education.To meet the client's effort to be educated is the responsibility of the nurse to try to gradually engage the client in education. If the client is unable to cooperate with the nurse, she tries to engage the client´s family into the education.Nursing care for patients after amputation of the lower limbs is extensive. In the early period after surgery, nurse teaches the client's breathing and then the fitness exercises. Nurses educate clients after leg amputation especially in the training of care stump, walking on crutches with help of another person, and then walk on crutches without the support of another person and in the final stage to walk with a prosthesis attached. The aim of this work was to identify methods of education of clients while practicing self-care. With this objective, related research question is "What are the educational methods used by clients during training while practicing self-care."

The use of self-care deficit theory client CMP
PAULÍKOVÁ, Martina
Theory Stroke, a cerebrovascular disease, causes severe disability and failure of self-sufficiency for nearly of half of the patients. Nursing focuses on respecting the individuality of each patient, supports the return and consolidation of a good health, promotes self-sufficiency and searches for the needs of the patient. Conceptual model of D. E. Orem assumes the ability of each human to take care of self. Although partially, or not capable of self-care at all, it is necessary to fill up the deficit by nursing care. Objectives The first objective was to state the options to how to fill up the deficit of self-care by patienst after stroke. The second objective was to determine, whether the patient´s living environment has an impact the development of self-care. Research questions Q1: Does the home environment stimulate the acceleration of the return of self-care ability by patients after a stroke? Q2 : Does the respondent perceive the issue of own disability equaly as the surrounding? Q3 : Is it more beneficial for the patient to perform self-care with deficiency, or to receive perfect execution of it by others? Q4 : Does the patient perceive the subsequent therapy (physiotherapy, occupational therapy) as a faster way to return to sufficient self-care? The research part of the thesis was carried out by a qualitative survey, conducted as a individual semi-structured thematic interviews with respondents devided into two groups. One group consisted of patients after a stroke and a second group of caregivers. Total of 8 patients, 4 males and 4 females, were interviewed. The research was completed in three sessions, each at intervals of four to six weeks. The information received were processed by open coding method, analytical induction development of technology showdown and narrative analysis. Results Using data received from interviews with respondents it was possible to answer all the research questions. The first research question examined was, whether the home environment stimulates the acceleration of the return of self-care ability by patients after a stroke. According to interviews and objective evaluation, the domestic environment has improved overall condition and faster return to individual self-care. Although, aftercare provided enough nursing and rehabilitative care, patient very much appreciated mental stimulation given by the home environment. The second research question focused on whether the respondent perceives own disability equaly as the surrounding. The interviews showed most of the patients perceive their health and subsequent disabilities better than its surroundings. The third research question examined whether it is more beneficial for the patient to perform self-care with deficiency, or to receive perfect execution of it by others. The results indicated more benefits by performing own self-care, even with mistakes that encourage practising, thereby repeating and consolidating manners. Most of the respondents refused any help. The fourth research question focused on patient´s perception of the subsequent therapy (physiotherapy, occupational therapy) as a faster way to return to sufficient self-care. The interviews showed that the respondents did not realize the importance of aftercare, considered it to be routine and as a part of the treatment. Yet, increased physiotherapy activities results into a quicker adjustment of self-sufficiency. Conclusion The temporal evolution of self-sufficiency of patients after a stroke and the attitudes of caregivers are described in this thesis. The results are presented in a form of mental map. This might be used by the patients after stroke, nursing staff or official home caregivers and informal caregivers, as well.

Verification of knowledge about self-management in patients with heart failure
VOJTĚCHOVÁ, Veronika
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a disease with increasing incidence, which requires an adequate and costly management. Repeated hospitalisations due to decompensated CHF contribute to disease progression and herald dismal prognosis. An important goal of heart failure clinics is reduction in number of hospitalizations due to decompensated CHF. The main approaches to reach this aim seem to be effective diagnostics and treatment of CHF, and importantly, education of patients and their families. We aimed to evaluate knowledge of CHF patients regarding self-care in secondary prevention of CHF. We constructed three hypotheses and three research questions to reach the goal of the project. The theoretical part described recommended life-style interventions, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic CHF management, and specifically, the role of nurses in education of patients with CHF. The practical part described the methods of analysis, the study group and the process of evaluation. To fulfil the study goal, we performed collection of data using qualitative and quantitative methods of research. The qualitative part of the research project included a non-standardized questionnaire for patients with CHF. A total of 260 questionnaires were distributed in six heart failure clinics. 183 completed questionnaires were returned and analysed. The obtained data were evaluated using descriptive statistical methods. Pearson´s chi-test and Student´s t-test were applied to test the hypotheses. Collection of qualitative data was performed using the technique of a semi-structured interview based on pre-prepared questions. The study respondents included general nurses from out-patient heart failure clinics. Six of nine contacted nurse respondents agreed to participate. Answers were recorded on Dictaphone. Data were analysed using the method of "card display". The quantitative part tested the following hypotheses: 1. CHF patients know symptoms and signs of decompensated CHF. 2. CHF patients follow the life-style recommendations. 3. CHF patients perform daily self-monitoring of their weight, blood pressure and pulse. Our study revealed insufficient knowledge of patients regarding symptoms of possible CHF decompensation. This finding was alarming because suboptimal knowledge of symptoms of decompensated CHF may cause inadequate response of the patient and may delay initiation of treatment. Assessment of compliance with life-style measures revealed that most patients did not use tobacco products and had a limited alcohol consumption. Most individuals reported a regular use of heart failure medication and knew the timing of the next follow-up in their heart failure clinic. Life-style measures included also some dietary restrictions modified by the current nutritional status. Respondents preferred recommended food over inappropriate foodstuffs, however, they did not follow neither the salt restriction nor the optimal frequency of meals. Most respondents did not report a regular exercise A significant ignorance was found in the process of self-monitoring. Most respondents did not monitor their body weight, blood pressure and pulse. The qualitative assessment evaluated the following questions: 1. Do we educate the CHF patients appropriately? 2. Are we able as nurses to pass correct information to CHF patients? 3. How is the process of education implemented in practice? Based on the above mentioned methods, we found that the process of education is a domain of doctors. Nurses have only a limited role in education of CHF patients...

Nursing care for patient with polytrauma
SKLÁŘOVÁ, Lucie
Multiple traumas mean a present injury of at least two body systems. The patient with the multiple traumas is, because of the threatening failure of one or more organs, alternatively systems, placed on the intensive care unit. The nursing of the patient is therefore systematic, continual and its part is the monitoring of the conditions and saturation of basic needs. The nursing care on the intensive care unit is dependent on their health conditions and it permanently changes. A nurse usually takes over the whole care of the patient and they are dependent on her. Therefore the nurse must know all the patient´s needs and provide them regard to their self-sufficiency. Self-sufficiency is the level of independence during the daily routine. To its evaluation we use Barthel test of basic daily activities. In literature the word self-care is used as an identical term. The empiric part of the bachelor thesis is focused on self-sufficiency, self-care of a patient and activation of the nurses. The goal of the research is to find out the difference in the amount of care for a patient with multiple traumas on the Intensive care unit and a standard ward in connection with the level of self-care. To fulfil the goals three research questions were set. The research questions are: How do the nurses judge the self-sufficiency of a patient with multiple traumas on the intensive care unit and a standard ward? How do they provide the nursing care at a patient with multiple traumas in a standard ward? How do they provide the nursing care at a patient with multiple traumas on the intensive care unit? The qualitative research with the help of semi-structured interview was used to answer the questions and fulfil the goals. The research was taken on the traumatologic intensive care unit and in the standard ward. 5 respondents and one patient were from the intensive care unit and other 5 respondents and two patients were from the standard ward. The answers for the first research question were identical at all respondents. The evaluation of the patient´s self-sufficiency is according to Barthel test. The answers of most respondents point at the fact that the test in not practical and suitable. The results of the second and third research question can be comprehended in one conclusion. Regarding the fact, that the nurses from the intensive care unit and the standard ward made comments in the same way. The nursing care is always provided regarding the self-sufficiency of a patient. They support a patient mentally to make him more self-independent. They use different accessible tools for practice. With the help of the research questions we reached the goals. We found out that the difference in the extent of provided care is in the amount of activities which are done by nurses for the patient on the intensive care unit and in the standard ward. The nurses provide a patient with more activities logically on the intensive care unit. It is due to the conditions of a patient which are acute at the beginning. Even though, the nurses try to activate a patient as much as possible. By contrast, the nurses in a standard ward have the chance to increase patient´s self-sufficiency in more activities. They endeavour patients to be self-sufficient in hygiene, catering, walking and excretion. In these activities patients should be helped by physiotherapists. As it is agreed by the nurses from the intensive care unit as well as the nurses from the standard ward, this approach does not really work and so the only ones who activate a patient are the nurses and hospital attendants. The work should serve the nurses to clarify the importance of multiple traumas and deepen their knowledge of discussed problems.
