The Use of Omaha System in Lactation Counselling
ČERNÁ, Simona
The thesis deals with the use of Omaha system in lactation counselling. At present time the care of newborns realized through general practitioners is minimal. Therefore, the connection of community nursing related to shorter time of hospitalization of both mother and her newborn child is vital. Lactation counselling is closely connected to the obligatory documentation of provided care. Omaha system is considered as a suitable standardized terminology for community nursing. The thesis dealt with the analysis of Omaha system, lactation counselling, the issue of breastfeeding as a whole and the legislation related to nursing documentation in the theoretical part. The main aim of the research is the implementation of Omaha system in lactation counselling. Three main goals were set in the thesis. The first one was to map the differences between the care provided by lactation counsellors with and without medical qualification. The second goal was to describe the way of administration of breastfeeding mothers by the counsellors. The third goal was to elaborate and evaluate the documentation according to Omaha system in the field of lactation counselling provided by counselors with a qualification. To achieve the goals of this thesis quantitative-qualitative method of data collection was used. The method of questioning through a non-standardized questionnaire was selected for quantitative research. The qualitative part of the research was based on the use of semi-structured in-depth interview method. The third part of the research is represented by the content analysis of Omaha system. The qualitative part of the research was processed with open coding method. The research question was answered through the analysis of the interviews. The respondents in this research are represented by lactation counselors. The first research file is represented by counselors both with and without qualification. The second research file includes counselors with medical qualification only. The questionnaire research was realized through an electronic questionnaire. The interviews were conducted with six lactation counselors with a medical qualification. The questionnaire research shows differences in the counselling provided by the counselors with and without a qualification which supports H1. The official documentation for counselling is used by a few respondents and mainly by the ones with a qualification. The good thing is that most counselors record data about mothers and breastfeeding. Next, it seems that the unofficial documentation of counselors includes problems and solutions description. The results show that H2 has not been supported. However, it is good that almost half of the respondents are interested in using a standardized documentation for counselling. Next, the counselors with a qualification do not use standardized taxonomy of nursing problems. The results show that only two counselors with a qualification have a contract with an insurance company. Most of them do not cooperate with a podiatrist or gynecologist. The most troubling issues for them are lack of time and missing contracts with an insurance company. Most of them think that longer hospitalization of mothers does not have a better effect on the quality of breastfeeding. Moreover, the interviews with the counselors with a medical qualification show that the newly created documentation of Omaha system has been processed thoroughly and clearly. They consider it more time demanding, which could be a problem because of the lack of time caused by the financial situation of mothers or because of insurance companies. The output of tis thesis is a newly created documentation for lactation counselors and lactation centers based on Omaha system which allows a more effective way of providing lactation counselling.

Psychological counselling centre for students of Health and Social Studies at the University of South Bohemia. Preparation of specialized service
CHUDÁ, Lenka
The thesis consists of theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part defines basic problems which students have to deal with and which can be resolved through psychological help. Furthermore, there is the definition of counselling and its application in the university environment. I also bring a brief history of university psychological counselling both abroad and in our country. An important part of this work is qualitative research in three selected specialized departments of universities, dealing with university students and staff. I performed the research by using semi-structured interviews with representatives of counselling. The fundamental part of the whole work (practical part) presents quantitative research, in which I will focus on results of the analysis, which covered 20% of the students of Health and Social Studies University of South Bohemia in the České Budějovice. Hypotheses were as follows: half of the respondents will wish the emergence of University psychological counselling in our faculty and more than 50% of students want to discuss within the counselling study problems. The first hypothesis was confirmed - 71% of respondents were positive with regard to the establishment of a specialized institute. The second assumption was not filled only 18% of respondents declared to discuss within the counselling study problems. However, quantitative research also brings some other interesting findings. 99% of respondents consider psychological help to be useful, although only a small portion of them have direct or indirect experience with its use. With this finding diverges very weak awareness of particular knowledge of university psychological counselling in České Budějovice. An interesting result is the relatively high number of respondents who would be willing to financially participate in the payment of consultation in the university counselling. The whole work brings not only important findings concerning opinions and attitudes of students who were questioned but also incentives to fulfil their potential.
