Žďárská, Jana ; Čábelková, Alžběta (advisor) ; Uhlířová, Jaromíra (referee)
This bachelor thesis is aiming at creating a ADL (Activity of Daily Living) manual for people who suffered a stroke. Theoretical part is mainly focused on results of stroke that patients have to live with. It represents what occupational therapy is about and its irreplaceable role in the process of the patient's return to active life. It shows wide range of rehabilitation process and patient's difficulties with availability of complete materials with its issue. There are materials describing etiology, causes and results of stroke on the market, but not so many publications describing procedure how to deal with it and how to reach the highest level of patient's independence in normal life when it once happened. Practical part is represented by my own manual called ,,ADL manual for people after a stroke" with summary sheets included after each category of ADL. The manual contains use of common and also rare compensatory aids with instructions where to find details about those aids on the market. The manual was created with 30 different people who suffered stroke and use compensatory aids nowadays. Then the survey was made with these patients to express their opinions on the manual. Key words: Stroke Occupational Therapy personal ADL self-sufficiency instrumental ADL compensatory aids

The use of self-care deficit theory client CMP
PAULÍKOVÁ, Martina
Theory Stroke, a cerebrovascular disease, causes severe disability and failure of self-sufficiency for nearly of half of the patients. Nursing focuses on respecting the individuality of each patient, supports the return and consolidation of a good health, promotes self-sufficiency and searches for the needs of the patient. Conceptual model of D. E. Orem assumes the ability of each human to take care of self. Although partially, or not capable of self-care at all, it is necessary to fill up the deficit by nursing care. Objectives The first objective was to state the options to how to fill up the deficit of self-care by patienst after stroke. The second objective was to determine, whether the patient´s living environment has an impact the development of self-care. Research questions Q1: Does the home environment stimulate the acceleration of the return of self-care ability by patients after a stroke? Q2 : Does the respondent perceive the issue of own disability equaly as the surrounding? Q3 : Is it more beneficial for the patient to perform self-care with deficiency, or to receive perfect execution of it by others? Q4 : Does the patient perceive the subsequent therapy (physiotherapy, occupational therapy) as a faster way to return to sufficient self-care? The research part of the thesis was carried out by a qualitative survey, conducted as a individual semi-structured thematic interviews with respondents devided into two groups. One group consisted of patients after a stroke and a second group of caregivers. Total of 8 patients, 4 males and 4 females, were interviewed. The research was completed in three sessions, each at intervals of four to six weeks. The information received were processed by open coding method, analytical induction development of technology showdown and narrative analysis. Results Using data received from interviews with respondents it was possible to answer all the research questions. The first research question examined was, whether the home environment stimulates the acceleration of the return of self-care ability by patients after a stroke. According to interviews and objective evaluation, the domestic environment has improved overall condition and faster return to individual self-care. Although, aftercare provided enough nursing and rehabilitative care, patient very much appreciated mental stimulation given by the home environment. The second research question focused on whether the respondent perceives own disability equaly as the surrounding. The interviews showed most of the patients perceive their health and subsequent disabilities better than its surroundings. The third research question examined whether it is more beneficial for the patient to perform self-care with deficiency, or to receive perfect execution of it by others. The results indicated more benefits by performing own self-care, even with mistakes that encourage practising, thereby repeating and consolidating manners. Most of the respondents refused any help. The fourth research question focused on patient´s perception of the subsequent therapy (physiotherapy, occupational therapy) as a faster way to return to sufficient self-care. The interviews showed that the respondents did not realize the importance of aftercare, considered it to be routine and as a part of the treatment. Yet, increased physiotherapy activities results into a quicker adjustment of self-sufficiency. Conclusion The temporal evolution of self-sufficiency of patients after a stroke and the attitudes of caregivers are described in this thesis. The results are presented in a form of mental map. This might be used by the patients after stroke, nursing staff or official home caregivers and informal caregivers, as well.

The Work of the Nurse at the Stroke Unit
BROŽÁKOVÁ, Žaneta
The theme of the Bachelor degree work ?The Work of the Nurse at the Stroke Unit? was chosen as it deals with the interesting issue of the development of neurology medical branch which is closely connected with building ictus stroke units. These new units provide for modern treatment and nursing care in particular to patients suffering from the acute vascular cerebral accident ? stroke (ictus). The development of these units also supposes higher requirements for nurses both in the sphere of the theoretical knowledge and the practical skills. The theoretical part of the work deals with the general issue of ictus in the form of symptoms, diagnostics and treatment. Further, it informs us about the organization of the cerebral-vascular care in the Czech Republic and nurses´ competences in the selected nursing performances. Next, there is described the intervention of the nurse at the acute reception of the patient suffering from ictus and particularly the complex nursing care at the ictus/stroke unit accompanied with nursing diagnoses which occur at the patient suffering from ictus. The aim of the work was to find out specific features of the nurse´s work at the ictus unit from the nurse´s point of view and to map out nurse´s knowledge at the ictus unit from the nurse´s point of view. To accomplish both aims there were answered research questions. VO1: What nursing procedure is specific for the work of the nurse at the ictus unit? VO2: What nursing diagnoses are specific for patients at the ictus unit? VO3: What knowledge is required form the nurses working at the ictus unit? VO4: How does the nurse gain necessary knowledge for the work at the ictus unit? The practical part of the work provides a lot of information on the work of the nurse at the ictus unit from the nurse´s point of view. This detailed information was found out by means of the research investigation, the qualitative method in the form of interviews with nurses at the selected ictus units. The results of the research work are used for the compilation of the nursing standard of the care for the patient suffering from ictus during thrombolytic therapy. This standard provides nurses complex information and helps the patient to get high-quality and safe nursing care.
