Perception of risk factors for atherosclerosis from the perspective of a patient after acute myocardial infarction
SAMCOVÁ, Tereza
This bachelor thesis focuses on examining the perception of atherosclerosis risk factors from the perspective of patients after acute myocardial infarction. The theoretical part delves into the characteristics of atherosclerosis and its associated risk factors. It also addresses myocardial infarction, including its pathophysiology, treatment procedures, and nursing care for patients post-MI.The practical part sets two main objectives. The first objective is to map the perception of atherosclerosis risk factors among patients post-MI, while the second objective is to assess whether these patients have changed their behavior regarding atherosclerosis risk factors. To achieve these goals, qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews was conducted with 13 patients who were at least one month post-MI. The research took place in a cardiology outpatient clinic in České Budějovice.The research indicates that the majority of patients are aware of atherosclerosis risk factors and strive to follow preventive measures. Additionally, it is evident that all patients post-MI have exhibited some degree of behavior change concerning atherosclerosis risk factors.These findings could serve as a basis for developing educational programs aimed at preventing atherosclerosis in patients post-MI, thereby contributing to the overall improvement of their health status and quality of life.

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.

The research group consisted of eleven nurses. The data was processed via open coding by method of pen and paper. The analysis of the data subsequently created three categories and eight subcategories. Results The results of the research imply that according to the nurses the most important specific of nursing care of oncology patients in terminal stage is adequate usage of painkilling medication to minimize the suffering and improving the quality of life. The next important specific is the need of patient to be in touch with his or her close people.

Communication of nurses with hearing impaired patient on covid units
RAUŠOVÁ, Ilona
Introduction: For nurses, communication is a basic instrument in the nursing process. During the Covid-19 pandemic, nurses were obliged to wear protective equipment to prevent the spread of the disease. Protective equipment, especially masks, have a negative impact on nurse - patient communication. They dampen the volume of spoken speech, prevent reading and recognition of facial expressions. Nurses had to deal with these communication barriers while maintaining the nursing standards. Purpose of this work: The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to find out the specifics when communicating with a hearing-impaired patient. Methodology:The empirical part of this thesis was processed using the method of qualitative research analysis. To collect data, a semi-structured interview was used with nurses who worked at a covid-19 unit during the Covid-19 pandemic. The conversations took place in the period from March to May 2023. The conversations were recorded with the participants consent on a mobile phone by the use of the application Záznamník (recorder). The interviews were written afterwards in text, using the Microsoft Word program. Written data were then analyzed by the method of open coding, using the "pencil and paper"technique. The data obtained were divided into three categories, which were subsequently divided into subcategories. For better illustration, the individual categories and subcategories were drawn up in clear diagrams and described in detail. Results:The work results were divided into three categories, which are: hearing-impaired patient, barriers to nursing care and nurses' communication with hearing-impaired patients. Both categories are divided to the period before the Covid-19 pandemic, the period during the pandemic and the period after the end of the pandemic. Research indicates that the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the nurses' approach towards barrier nursing care and nurses have gained invaluable experience in the sense of communication with hearing impaired patients. They learned to improvise and use all available communication tools. They shared information, advice and psychological support with each other. Conclusion: This work documents the view of nurses on barrier nursing care and their influence on communication with hearing-impaired patients. The research showed that nurses overcame the communication barriers and were able to maintain the standards of nursing care. They adapted to demanding conditions, learned to use simple tools which made it easier for them to communicate with hearing-impaired patients. They deepened their mutual cooperation. At the same time, it revealed that most nurses coped with these problems based on their intuition. For nurses, this experience created the need for professional training in the field of communication with hearing-impaired patients. The work provides an overall view of the issue of communication in the nursing process when using protective equipment. It presents tools that can help overcome the communication barrier. The results may help other nurses in practice.
