Nursing care for paediatric patient after orthopaedical surgeries
WEISSOVÁ, Eva
Abstract Current situation Current range of orthopaedics is not only surgery of musculoskeletal system, but it also deals with diagnostics of congenital defects, injuries, illnesses, metabolism disorders and their after-effects on musculoskeletal system. A paediatric nurse plays a key role in taking care of a paediatric patient after an orthopaedical surgery. She helps children to overcome an unpleasant situation and tries to minimize physical and psychological complications. Cooperation with child's family is essential. Child's pain, suffering and fear can be moderated by proper nursing care. Aim of the work We determined three aims in this diploma thesis. The first aim was to map children awareness before orthopaedical surgeries and during hospitalization. The second aim was to analyse satisfaction of parents during hospitalization. The third aim was to assess the importance of psychological pre-surgery preparation of children and hospitalization of parents in overall perception of child's hospitalization. Methodology A quantitative research by means of a paper and electronical survey was used for the empirical part. The research group was made up of 104 respondents, it means 52 parents and 52 children. Those were parents and children from two selected hospitals and from general public. The surveys were processed statistically afterwards. A descriptive analysis of all the questions was used and four determined hypotheses were tested. Results It was found out that most of the children felt sufficiently informed before and during the hospitalization. It could be claimed that better awareness of a nurse means better feeling of child's sufficient awareness. Furthermore, we found out from the results that most of the parents were sufficiently informed by the nurse and that their overall satisfaction depends on children awareness provided by the nurse. Based on results, nurse education in the area of children care and manipulation with children during hospitalization is very important and leads to satisfaction of both children and parents. Based on other results, a child's hospitalization with a parent is very important because 97% of children said that they were calmer because of the presence of a parent. We can claim this about parents as well, because the presence of a parent is perceived by parents themselves as a very important factor improving the perception of a stay at a hospital. Hospitalization of a parent with a child depends on the age of the child, in which case a child at the age of 5 and less was always hospitalized with a parent. Moreover, it was found that compared to the presence of a parent, parents claim the psychological preparation (talking in form of play or with the help of a therapist) has slightly more important point. That was confirmed by the children as well. We can obviously see from the response that they stand the hospitalization better if they are prepared for the surgery. Conclusion The research has shown that most of the children felt informed enough during the hospitalization and before the surgery. I find the psychological preparation of children for a surgery very important. That was also confirmed both by the children and parents, who consider the psychological preparation to be one of the most important factors. The hospitalization of a parent with a child depends on the age of the children. We trust that this work could serve as a study material for paediatric nurses working at corresponding postoperative departments, besides other things as a study material for students of medical subjects. This diploma thesis can describe given illness or the care of a child after an orthopaedic surgery to both parents and children.

Importance of enzymatic solutions (Enzymel) in postoperative treatment of upper respiratory tract wounds
Šimurdová, Marcela ; Tomová, Šárka (advisor) ; Nikodemová, Hana (referee)
Bakalářská práce Význam Enzymelu v pooperačním ošetřování ran v horních cestách dýchacích 1 Abstract Healing surgical wounds in upper respiratory tract is often difficult and painful due to constant presence of food (contamination), movements during talking and continuous presence of aggressive saliva. Most of the surgery clinics use natural solutions especially chamomile to accelerate healing and to remove patient's postoperative problems. Gel Enzymel parodont, which contains proteolytic enzymes and its application limits bacteria production and accelerates healing of the surgical wounds, hasn't been used in a clinical treatment in surgical ORL yet and its effects on healing haven't been studied. The theoretical part of this study is focused on a brief introduction of selected surgical procedures in upper respiratory tract and the corresponding nursing process including a summary of possible complications in the postoperative period. The empirical part of the thesis contains a summary of the results of non-standardized questionnaire survey, which was conducted on selected patients of the ORL (ENT) Clinic of Motol University Hospital. Using a surrogate survey of a selected group of patients (80 in total), data were obtained to compare the effectiveness of the investigated agents, especially in the area of...

PLECEROVÁ, Jana
The objectives of the work The objective of this work has been set as the mapping of degree of patient's contentment/ rate of patient's satisfaction in view of the nurse's approach within the scope of the post-thoracic operation care and the evaluation/ assessment whether the needs of the aforementioned patients have been satisfied. Another objective of the research enquiry has been set as finding out the level of the nurse's awareness regarding the ways and possibilities of the subsequent care. Methodology For the purpose of the research enquiry the form of qualitative research has been chosen and adopted, which has been applied and performed by means of using a method of interviewing i.e. putting questions which have been prepared beforehand, well in advance. Research array of patients consisted of 10 patients from one hospital (which is not going to be specified in this work) as well as 8 nurses whose job was to take care of the post-operative patients/ the post-thoracic operation patients. The results of the research have been processed by applying the method of open coding, pencil-paper method. Assets and Benefits of this Work The research enquiry has showed certain level of absence of desirable knowledge as well as ignorance of the staff taking care of the patients regarding the ways of subsequent care. Nurses should be educated about the possibilities of home care, hospice care as an integral part of their profession. The results gained by research enquiry process could be presented at seminars, conferences aimed at the subsequent care.

Rebcová, Adéla ; Kordulová, Pavla (advisor) ; Chvojková, Kateřina (referee)
(v AJ) Transplantation medicine has undergone considerable development over the last twenty years. Organs Transplantation has become a routine part of treatment and often the only option for patients with severe kidney damage. Due to the development of immunosuppressive drugs and the improvement of surgical techniques, the outcomes of kidney transplants have greatly improved in recent years. The bachelor thesis describes the issue of nursing care for patients after kidney transplantation. In the theoretical part of the thesis I describe the issue of treatment of renal failure. I also focus on the period before the transplant itself and after the transplant. I can't forget to mention the professional organizations dealing with this issue, so I also provide a short overview of transplantation centres' in the Czech Republic. At the end of this section I present a very important part namely, patient education. Each patient needs to know what regimen in the homecare environment is to be followed so that transplantation is successful. The thesis I worked out on the basis of searching for relevant sources on the topic. I used resources from the National Medical Library, where I was made a literature search, through Medlain, from the Pub Med, Embase and Web of Science databases. The information were...

Lomozová, Lenka ; Burišková, Klára (advisor) ; Pucholtová, Romana (referee)
Creating conditions for the effective healthcare provision in cooperation with the patient is one of the main missions of today's healthcare. A cardiac surgery is a difficult life situation for patients. Being informed, as the basic premise for the patient to become an active part of the entire healing process. The main aim of my thesis was to evaluate the awareness of patients who underwent a cardiac surgery, to map the problematic areas and to propose solutions. A combination of qualitative and quantitative method was used for the research. The qualitative part was carried out by means of semi-structured interviews with three interviewees. The quantitative part had the form of the questionnaire presented to 52 respondents. The results of both researches have been analyzed. The results show that the patients seem to have been provided with adequate information at the clinic. Impact of patients' awareness on their cooperation with healthcare professionals was proven, in particular in rehabilitation. A medical doctor remains the main source of information for patients, but they often seek to obtain additional information from other sources. The use of multiple sources and different forms of information seems to be advisable. I identified the groups of patients requiring a specific approach when...

Nursig care about newborn within the perioperation care.
BENEŠOVÁ, Nikola
The topic of the thesis Nursing Care of Newborns in the Process of Perioperative Care deals with specific and distinct features of such care from the viewpoint of nursing. The main objective was to specify all tasks of nurses in the process of perioperative care and the procedures they use. Last but not least, we focused on how the nursing care differs with regard to the age of newborns. The selected research method was qualitative research using semi-structured interviews with nurses from perinatology centers. The research covered 10 respondents with various levels of education and lengths of practical experience. Nurses most frequently understand the term of perioperative care as the care provided before, during and after a surgery. Most of them actually perform preparation of the child before the surgery and then they provide postoperative care. Only 2 out of the 10 respondents are directly involved in the surgery procedure and thus accompany the newborns throughout the entire process of perioperative care. The care provided before the surgery most often includes identification of the child, checking of its vital functions, involvement in blood collection, including intravenous cannulation, administration of prescribed medication, preparation of the surgical site and communication with the parents. Children are most frequently accompanied by their mothers and nurses need to communicate with them. Nurses transport the child to the operating room, hand the child over and subsequently take it back after the surgery. They also record all those activities in the medical files and in some cases they check signed informed consents. Intraoperative care consists mainly of monitoring of the newborn, assisting to the physician in airway management - intubation and during the entire surgery procedure. The most common surgical procedures performed in children are hernia, bowel and heart surgeries. The nurses also generally mentioned surgeries of developmental disorders. After the surgery nurses usually move the child to the neonatology intensive care unit which is equipped with a ventilator, incubator and all types of medication. They regularly check and record child´s vital functions, monitor the surgical wound and its proximity, intake and excretion, they provide nutrition etc. Nurses also assess the pain, most frequently using the NIPS scale, and they educate the parents. Post-surgery complications occur only sporadically and they include infections, bleeding or abstinence syndrome after administration of opiates. The collected data have shown only one difference relating to the age of newborns who underwent a surgery. Specifically, certain surgeries, e.g. of necrotic enterocolitis, are performed more frequently on less mature newborns. In general, most of the surgeries are performed on prematurely born neonates and extremely immature neonates. When asked what they would like to change or improve in the perioperative care from the nursing point of view the nurses primarily mentioned more contacts between the mother and child and consistent compliance with aseptic procedures. The responding nurses were mostly content, they praised the highly specialized care and the good cooperation between the nursing team and the medical team which consists of pediatricians and specialists. Results of those teams thus contribute to continually decreasing mortality rate of high-risk and pathological newborns and to better quality of life of those children after the surgery.

Specificity in the provision of nursing care before and after thyroid surgery.
HAUSEROVÁ, Kateřina
After diabetes mellitus we encounter thyroid disease as the most common disease of the endocrine glands. The most common diseases of endocrine glands are inflammations, tumors, struma or thyroid enlargement, thyroid hyperfunction and hypofunction. Indications for surgery are among others malignant and benign thyroid diseases. In the postoperative care both general and specific principles are applied, which are conformed to the condition of the patient, the type of surgery and the surgeon requirements. Providing the right nursing care should also help the prevention of possible postoperative complications. The bachelor thesis named "Special features in providing nursing care before and after thyroid surgery" is divided into two parts, theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis deals with thyroid anatomy and physiology and its surroundings, its need for iodine, it describes individual thyroid diseases, thyroid disease diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, it also deals with the nursing care before and after thyroid surgery, the emergence of possible complications and last but not least it deals with home care after the patient is discharged from hospital. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to detect the pecularities of providing nursing care before and after thyroid surgery and to determine regime measures and the knowledge of these in patients after thyroid surgery at the surgical department. Research questions were created to achieve the objectives. Q1: What are the pecularities of the nursing care before thyroid surgery? Q2: What are the pecularities of the nursing care after thyroid surgery? Q3: What are the regime measures in patients after thyroid surgery? Q3: What knowledge do the patients have about the regime measures after thyroid surgery? To obtain necessary data a semistructured interview method was used. To process this thesis a qualitative research was carried out. Semi-structured interviews were used as a technique for data collection. Categorization was compiled on the basis of interviews. A research survey was carried out in the surgical ward, where there are patients with thyroid disease. The research showed that the nurses are aware of care principles and they are sufficiently informed about treating a patient with thyroid disease. The interview showed the principles of nursing care, which should be followed throughout the whole period of hospitalization of patients with thyroid disease. In the interviews the nurses emphasized the differences in providing nursing care in a patient before and after thyroid surgery. Furthermore the research showed that nurses would be in favour of further training seminars that would deal with the given issue, about treating a patient with thyroid disease. Awarness and knowledge of the regime measures was also recognized in patients after thyroid surgery. Based on the data obtained from the interviews with patients, those report that their awareness and also knowledge of regime measures after thyroid surgery is minimal and insufficient. The result of the bachelor thesis was to determine the principles of care for patients with thyroid disease. Principles of nursing care were detected in patients before and after thyroid surgery. Furthermore, regime measures were identified in patients after thyroid surgery and also the knowledge of those regime measures in patients after thyroid disease. This bachelor thesis outlines the pecularities in nursing care of patiens with thyroid disease, policy of regime measures after a patient's discharge from hospital and keeping to those is among others a condition for early patients recovery and his return to a normal life. Based on the findings of the research and of available sources a flier will be created about the principles of nursing care for patients after thyroid surgery. The bachelor thesis will also serve as
