Care for patient with infective endocarditis.
MARKOVÁ, Monika
The bachelor thesis deals with nursing care of a patient with infective endocarditis. Infective endocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart that affects the heart valves or their replacements. Valves with a defect or calcifications are most often affected, exceptionally also those with short-circuit defects. The patient usually develops a fever, fatigue, weight loss or chest pain. Treatment is with antibiotics and lasts approximately 4 to 6 weeks. In certain cases, patients are indicated for surgery, such as valve implantation. The aim of the empirical part was to find out the specifics of nursing care of patients with infective endocarditis. A qualitative research survey was chosen for processing. Research group A consisted of 11 patients with infective endocarditis and research group B consisted of 9 nurses working in the cardiology department. A semi-structured interview was created for data collection. For nurses, there were prepared questions focusing on information about infective endocarditis, specific care and the patient's needs during hospitalization. This was followed by questions for patients focused on their information about infective endocarditis, needs and feelings during long-term hospitalization. The results were divided into categories and then into subcategories based on the interviews. The results showed that nurses, considering the causes of invective endocarditis, often forget for nosocomial infections, rather they focus only on the causes of the patient him/herself. Patients with infective endocarditis have different care than other patients in the cardiology department. Nurses see a difference in length of hospital stay, antibiotics, rest, and number of examinations. They perceive the relationship formed with the patient during their hospital stay rather individually. Patients tolerate hospitalization itself well, and most often their family helps them to do so. Patients usually mentioned in their needs family and friends who they missed during hospitalization. They also mentioned privacy, pet or exercise. Regarding the patient's needs, the nurses focused more on practical activities such as sleep or hygiene assistance. Based on these results, information material on infective endocarditis was created. The informational material will serve for easier orientation during the disease for all patients with infective endocarditis.

SKALICKÁ, Jana
This bachelor thesis is dedicated to children with oncologic condition and possible of working with these children during hospitalization. I chose this topic after I had had personal experience with a serious illness of my son. I am looking into the matter as a parent, who zealously fought to keep the spirits of my child up in the depressive hospital environment. The practical part is divided into two explorative probes. In the first one I proceed from my own experience with the progress of my son´s disease and his hospitalization. The second part comprises suggestions of various activities for paediatric patients during hospitalization. The activities, which I describe in my thesis, could be used to promote a happier and more pleasant stay in the environment, in which the child does not feel comfortable.

Animal Assisted Activities at Children in Hospital
Jakubcová, Šárka ; Procházková, Jana (advisor) ; Valentová, Lidmila (referee)
The thesis titled "Use of animal assisted therapy for the hospitalized children" deals with the theoretical background of animal assisted therapy as a supporting method in complex rehabilitation and its practical use during the visits of volunteers with their dogs and its influence to the health of children in hospital care. In the available literature are often described the positive effects of the animal assisted therapy onto the mental and physical condition of the person, the impact on improving communication as well as other factors in the social life of the client. The main focuse of my work is whether these effects can be observed (noticed) even in the short term or even after a single visit of the dog. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, I have tried to describe this impact and possibly uncover additional benefits that can be attributed to the visits of the volunteers with a dog at pediatric hospital.
