Qualitative research in the aplication of desinfection and sterilization of nursing unit
KARBÁČOVÁ, Marika
Abstract The thesis focuses on the application of disinfection and sterilization in the surgical unit. These methods are an integral part of nursing care and they prevent creation, transmission and spread of infection. The qualitative research was carried out in the surgical department in the Hospital Prachatice a.s.. The method used in the research is an unstandardized in-depth interview, in the second phase extended to a structured observation. There were set three objectives. Objective 1: to determine the ways of application of disinfection in the surgical unit, Objective 2: to determine the ways of application of sterilization in the surgical unit, Objective 3: to determine whether nurses observe the principles of disinfection and sterilization in the surgical unit. On the basis of these objectives, there were formed three research questions: What types of applications are used for disinfection in the surgical unit? What types of sterilization applications are used in the surgical unit? What principles of disinfection and sterilization are observed in the surgical unit? From the results of the in-depth interview and observation, it was discovered that physical and chemical disinfection is applied in the surgical unit. The employees use the services of central sterilization. In the surgical unit, there is not used any type of sterilization, except of the pre-sterilisation preparation. While disinfection, the employees follow the correct procedure, but they do not always use the correct amount of disinfectant. As the possibility of improvement, I would suggest to carry out training and remind that the recommended concentrations of disinfectants are sufficiently effective. There is no need to increase their amount hence it increases the financial costs of the surgical unit.

The Risks of Working as a Nurse
GENGELOVÁ, Gabriela
The work of nurses in health care is often physically and psychologically demanding. Some inpatient departments have specific labor conditions and from them come risks. Nurses are continuously exposed to the risk of injury, infection, but also stress caused by their work. These labor-related risks can cause disorders on health or cause labor-related diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce workload, stress, psycho-social risks and pay special attention to preventive measures and keep sanitary-epidemiological behavior. This Bachelor thesis called ?Risks of Nurse´s Labor? is divided into two parts. The theoretical part strives to summarize the risks of a nurse?s work focusing on preventive measures related to particular risks. Results of this survey are processed in the research part of this thesis. During the survey I used a quantitative method of data collection ? by using a questionnaire. The research file was created by nurses working in Internal and Neurological departments and a Residential facility for chronically ill patients in the Hospital České Budějovice, a.s. and in the University Hospital in Plzeň. In the Bachelor´s thesis 2 objectives and 3 related hypotheses have been set. The objectives were fulfilled and hypotheses were either verified or rejected. The author was trying to find out what nurses regard as the highest risks in clinically focused workplaces and what preventive measures are applied with respect to perceived risks. From the results come out that nurses regard being stung by an infected needle as the highest risk in the workplace. Preventive measures are applied in a limited scope.

Self-health and safety protection in the case of a mass incidence of health damage
KAMENICKÁ, Nikola
The topic of my thesis is Self-health and safety protection in the case of a mass incidence of health damage. The objective of my work was to briefly outline emergency events to which a mass incidence of health damage is considered to belong. Basic activities of medical rescue workers at the scene of such an accident are described to show the potential risks posed on rescue workers in this situation. The thesis also includes an overview of commonly used protective equipment and basic safety instructions. The goal of this study was to determine the level of abidance by principles of safety and health protection in the case of a mass incidence of health damage. Another objective was to review the awareness of risks the rescue worker profession involves in the case of a mass incidence of health damage and to compare the abidance by principles of safety and health protection between medical rescue workers and general nurses in anesthetic-resuscitation department. On the basis of these objectives hypotheses were stated. The quantitative data collection method was used to meet the purpose. The research was conducted through the questionnaire technique in the České Budějovice region. The obtained data were turned into graphs. The values were subsequently converted into percentages and placed below the charts as commentaries. In general, it is possible to say that medical rescue workers as well as general nurses abide by principles of safety measures and know the possibilities of self-protection. However, the research has shown that age has no significant effect on safety measures compliance and education does not significantly effects safety measures compliance. The obtained data show that the safety and health measures are complied with more by medical rescue workers than general nurses in Anesthesiology-resuscitation department, although there are only small percentage differences.
