Patients awareness before endoscopic examination
BERNÁTOVÁ, Ivana
Abstract Patients awareness before endoscopic examination This baccalaureate thesis deals with informedness of patients prior endoscopic examinations. The theoretic part deals with the issues of informing and preparing endoscopic examinations. Generally, informedness is a broad issue that can be discussed in professional circles as well as by the laic public. As the patient is considered an active element of the treatment process nowadays, informedness has gained an important role. This work tried to explain endoscopic methods, to map preparation for individual endoscopic examinations, and to stress the importance of information and communication skills when providing such information. Two objectives were set down. The first one was to find out the details about informedness of patients prior endoscopic examinations. The other one was to find out what method is used to inform patients prior endoscopic examinations. Two hypotheses were set down in the practical part. The first hypothesis is based on the presumption of sufficient patient informedness and it was defined as follows: Patients are informed sufficiently prior endoscopic examinations. The other hypothesis was based on a presumption defined as follows: The most frequently used method of informing patients prior endoscopic examinations is oral explanation. To find out about the current situation, the quantitative method using an anonymous questionnaire was employed. Only one kind of questionnaire containing 25 questions was used. The questions were closed, semi-closed and one open. Introductory questions were informative ones, the others focused on informedness prior an endoscopic examination and on the methods of providing information. A hundred questions were distributed at preselected wards at Nemocnice Tábor, a. s. (Hospital Tábor). The research group consisted of patients at the surgical, internal and gynaecological departments. The results were processed into graphs showing the percentage of the distribution of the respondents{\crq} answers. The discussion was assessed and compared with professional literature. At the end of this thesis, the project summation results are presented as well as confirmed or unconfirmed hypotheses and possible proposals that may lead executive workers to consider what ways could be taken in the future to better patient informedness prior endoscopic examinations.

Specifice of nursing care for children undergoing endoscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract
HALÁMKOVÁ, Hana
Although it is not a new method endoscopy has undergone incredible development in recent years. The examination is however very unpleasant for a patient, which is why health care staff should be well trained, particularly for child patients. The aim of the thesis was to map the specifics of nursing care for children undergoing endoscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract. We approached the whole issue from the point of view of caring staff ? nurses. In the theoretical part we first described the gastrointestinal tract anatomy, endoscopy development and types of endoscopic examination. Then we dealt with the role of a nurse in the care for child patients undergoing these examinations. We formed three goals for the research. Goal 1: To find out how nurses prepare child patients for the individual endoscopic examinations. Goal 2: To verify whether nurses caring about a child patient undergoing gastrointestinal tract endoscopy are specifically trained. Goal 3 served as the output of the work: To elaborate recommendation for nurses preparing child patients for the individual endoscopic examinations. We chose quantitative research for collection of the necessary information. A questionnaire designed for nurses caring for child patients was the data collection technique. The questionnaire was anonymous, distributed at paediatric clinics of faculty hospitals of Moravian region. 104 questionnaires suitable for processing returned from 140 issued. The research has shown that nurses working at the clinics where the research was performed master the correct nursing care for child patients undergoing endoscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract. Nevertheless the fact that most information is gained upon practical experience, with low emphasis on initial and repeated training of nurses also results from the research. A recommendation was elaborated upon the gathered information in the form of a standard nursing procedure proposal.
