Nurse from a minority society in the Czech healthcare
KARTÁKOVÁ, Nikola
This bachelor thesis will deal with the issue of nurses from minority groups. The theoretical part deals with transcultural nursing in general, but also with other important topics that are directly related to nurses from minorty groups. The empirical part has stated two aims. The first aim was to find out what issues nures from minority society face in Czech healthcare. The second aim was to find out what attitude the patients have towards a nurse from the minority society. Based on the set aims, four research questions have been posed. The first research question is trying to find out what issues does a nurse from the minority society notice within their workplace? The second question was what issues does a nurse from the minority society notice in relation to patients? The third research question asks how does the patient perceive the fact that they are being cared for by a minority society nurse? The last question was researching what communication issues does the patient perceive in communicating with a nurse from the minority society? To process the empirical part, a qualitative research method was chosen, specifically using semi-structured interviews that were carried out together with nurses coming from minority groups. They are individuals of different nationality or a different religion, working in Czech healthcare system. Further, interviews were being carried out with patients who experienced the care by nurses from minority groups. There were six informants in case of nurses, and five patients. In case of nurses, the main choice criterium was a different nationality or religion. In the category of patients, these had to be people who have at least once in their lives encountered the care by a nurse from a minority society. Based on acquired interviews, a data analysis was done and the results were further worked out into individual categories. The acquired results have proven that the main issue in the cooperation of nurses of a different nationality and Czech patients is difficult communication. Further, we have found out that foreign nurses are very happy in Czech healthcare and they do not notice any significant issues, except a language barrier. They only have pointed out documentation and machines as problematic, because they are not used to them. Further, it was discovered that patients perceive minority nurses rather positively and, again, besides difficult communication, they do not perceive any significant issues. Communication, however, is totally a basic feature of healthcare, and our research has discovered that if a nurse is unable to communicate efficiently, the patient is unhappy, they do not trust the nurse sufficiently and they may even refuse their care.

The Jehowah´s witnesses religious society in the context of current nursing
KOSMÁKOVÁ, Alena
Abstract This thesis focuses on the issue of transcultural nursing of the members of Jehovah's Witnesses Christian denomination. Nursing staff faces the rejection of certain medical treatments and problems in communication, respect, and mutual understanding. The theoretical part of the thesis provides a detailed description and analysis of the denomination, providing the details of its foundation, present state, and the influence of its teaching on their members. It reveals the lives and ways of the thinking of Jehovah's Witnesses. Ultimately, this knowledge is highly desirable for understanding their views, feelings and attitudes. It is essential that nursing staff have this knowledge and are able to use it effectively.The designated objectives of the thesis are to analyse the Jehovah's Witnesses Christian denomination in the context of present nursing, to describe the specific features of nursing with respect to patients who are members of the Jehovah's Witnesses Christian denomination, and to analyse potential problems and risks related to nursing members of the Jehovah's Witnesses Christian denomination. To reach the above objectives we have used qualitative research methods. We conducted interviews with 17 persons living in the Czech Republic and in Germany who work in health services. An interview with a former Jehovah's Witness is included in the annex.From our research it follows that there are conflicts of opinion, misunderstandings, disagreements, and negative emotions of the medical staff based on their experience. An important factor is the ward type. Our research has indicated there are more conflicts in highly-specialised wards compared to standard outpatient departments. The study results have indicated that it is necessary to include transcultural nursing generally into secondary nursing education

Satisfaction of patient's spiritual needs in healthcare facilities
MIKEŠOVÁ, Miroslava
This bachelor thesis is called "Satisfaction of patient´s spiritual needs in healtcare facilities.". In the theoretical part of this work I deal with the needs, their distribution, definition and also the needs of a sick person. In the next part of theory, I focused directly on the spiritual needs and the role of the nurse and other workers in accomplishing those needs. Also mentioned the most common religions in the world and religion in our country in the Czech Republic. The main goal of the bachelor´s thesis was to find out what possibilities patients have in satisfying spiritual needs in healthcare facilities. To this goal, two research questions have been identified, RQ1: How are the spiritual needs of patient´s in a particular healthcare facility accomplished?? And RQ2: To what extent do patients use possibilities to satisfy spiritual needs? To accomplish this this goal, we used a qualitative survey conducted in the form of semi-structured interviews with directors from various healthcare facilities. Seven interviews were conducted with directors as a part of this research. The research survey showed how directors of various healthcare facilities have a view of spiritual needs and also how they can define them. Satisfying spiritual needs is very common in hospice facilities. They encounter spiritual needs less or almost never in other facilities. Patients who require spiritual care can primarily use medical staff. The medical staff is then able to mediate a priest, a pastor, or last but not least a hospital chaplain. The output of this bachelor´s thesis is a professional article that will help medical staff, patients or students of medical disciplines to become more acquainted with spiritual needs and their possibilities in satisfaction.
