Nurse education about thromboembolic disease about their risks and prevention.
HAVLOVÁ, Jitka
The bachelor thesis titled Nurse education about thromboembolic disease about their risks and prevention deals with patients' knowledge regarding the thromboembolic disease, education activities of nurses and determining the effectiveness of such education activities of nurses regarding thromboembolic disease. The theoretical part focuses on the anatomy of the vascular system and the heart as well as on the process of blood clotting. Furthermore, the theoretical part is devoted to the characteristics of thromboembolic disease, its symptoms and risk factors. The diagnosis, treatment and prevention of thromboembolic disease are also presented. Finally, the nursing care of patients with phlebothrombosis and pulmonary embolism and patient education are described. Three objectives were set for this bachelor thesis. The first objective was to map the patients' knowledge of thromboembolic disease, about its risks and prevention. The second objective aimed to map the educational activities of nurses in the context of thromboembolic disease. The third objective was to discover how nurses determine the effectiveness of educational activities about thromboembolic disease. Based on these, following three research questions were established: What do the patients know about thromboembolic disease, about its risks and prevention? What kind of educational activities do the nurses in the hospital do regarding the prevention of thromboembolic disease? How do nurses determine the effectiveness of educational activities about thromboembolic disease in the hospital? In order to obtain the results of the research investigation, two research sets were established. The first research set consisted of the nurses providing care and the second research set consisted of the patients. These patients were hospitalized in the ward where the nurses worked. The actual research investigation was conducted by meeting the nurses and patients in person using qualitative method and semi-structured interviews. All interviews were recorded with the consent of the persons on a mobile device voice recorder. The data collected from the interviews were processed and analyzed using the pencil-and-paper method. The main categories and sub-categories were created based on these data. Three and seven subcategories were established for nurses providing care. There were three categories and six established for the patients. The first research question asked was: What do the patients know about thromboembolic disease, about its risks and prevention? According to the research conducted, it was found that patients do not have enough information about thromboembolic disease and are not fully informed by nurses in the hospital about the symptoms of phlebothrombosis and pulmonary embolism, risk factors and preventive measures of thromboembolic disease. Within the second research question, it was asked: What kind of educational activities do the nurses in the hospital do regarding the prevention of thromboembolic disease? The research showed that nurses educate patients about the importance of exercise, any activity, the proper application of low molecular weight heparin before discharge to home treatment and the proper loading of compression bandages before surgery. Regarding the third research question, How do nurses determine the effectiveness of educational activities about thromboembolic disease in the hospital?, the investigation showed that the most important thing for nurses is communication with the physiotherapist, monitoring the patient at each room visit as well as obtaining the feedback from the patient after education on the correct application of low molecular weight heparin. Based on the results of the survey, an information leaflet on thromboembolic disease has been developed and will be provided to private practices or hospitals.

Aggression in patiens with psychosis
Nichtová, Andrea ; Vevera, Jan (advisor) ; Papežová, Hana (referee) ; Končelíková, Dana (referee)
Most psychiatric patients do not behave aggressively, but they very often become victims of aggressive behaviour. However, in the practical part of this work, we focused on the phenomenon of aggressive behaviour in psychotic patients, and we address victimization of psychotic patients in the theoretical part because it is one of the most important predictors of aggressive behaviour not only in psychiatric patients but also in the general population. In the literature, we encounter three basic immediate causes of aggressive behaviour - psychotic, impulsive, and predatory (planned) - which we observed in hospital conditions. Specifically, we focused on impulsive behaviour in aggressive patients, given that it is assumed that psychotic patients have difficulties in this area. The aim of this study was to examine the immediate causes of aggressive behaviour and provide data from the Czech Republic on their prevalence. Another goal was to determine whether the factor structure in our work is consistent with the three hypothesized factors described by Nolan et al. Another goal was to explore impulsive behaviour in psychotic patients in light of the reported reduced impulse control and emotional dysregulation associated with the emergence of aggressive behaviour in psychotic patients. The study aimed to...

Fall prevention from the nurse's point of view
PAVELKOVÁ, Kateřina
The bachelor thesis focuses on fall prevention from the perspective of the general nurse. General nurses encounter falls very frequently with health care providers and should be able to act on this issue in both the prevention and management of a fall. This thesis consists of a theoretical and a research part. The theoretical part deals with the characteristics of falls and risk groups of patients and other internal and external risk factors that occupy an important role in this issue. It also discusses the role of the general nurse in fall prevention as an integral part of the practice of the profession. The thesis also deals with selected aspects of fall prevention and follow-up of fall occurrence and consequences in patients. It was also important to mention the scales used to assess falls or to reduce the risk of falls. For the research part of this bachelor's thesis, a qualitative data collection method was chosen by using the technique of semi-structured interviews conducted with general nurses of selected wards of internal type of health care providers. The aim of the research part was to find out how general nurses identify patient groups at risk for falls. Also, whether general nurses implement preventive measures for fall occurrence and how they proceed when a fall occurs. Last but not least, it was important to find out how general nurses proceed when a patient is discharged to home care.

CMP (STROKE) - ALGORITHM OF EXAMINATION METHODS
MACKOVÁ, Pavlína
The bachelor thesis on CMP (stroke) - algorithm of examination methods deals with the disease of stroke, its definition, methods of examination, possible treatment and students' knowledge about this disease. The main objective of this study was to learn about the algorithm of examination methods in stroke and to find out the awareness of the respondents about this topic. The research question was: What is the awareness of the respondents about the process of examination and diagnosis of CMP? The thesis is divided into a theoretical section and a practical section. The first part focuses on the current state. Here the vascular supply to the brain, stroke, algorithm of examination methods and treatment of stroke are covered. Overall, the thesis is divided into six main chapters. The practical part deals with the questionnaire survey. The research purpose of this thesis was fulfilled by means of a questionnaire survey among Radiology Assisting students and Public Protection students with a focus on CBRNE. The questionnaire developed was the same for both groups of students. It was a standardized questionnaire with a choice of one answer each time. The resulting answers were then evaluated in clear graphs. The results of the conducted survey can offer us students' perspectives on anatomical knowledge of the brain, basic information about stroke, selected types of stroke examinations and stroke treatment. In addition, results from Radiology Assisting students and results from Public Protection students with a CBRNE focus can be compared to each other. The results can show us where students make the most mistakes and what information they know instead. Thus, the work can serve as a study material for students of all medical disciplines.

Male breast cancer
PEŠLOVÁ, Lucie
The topic of this bachelor's thesis is carcinoma in men's breasts. Breast's carcinoma belongs to one of the most tumour disease of women. Tumours of mammary gland could affect even men, even though it is relatively rare. Approximate ratio of women and men tumour in breasts is 100:1. Due to its rareness in men population, significant part of the patients does not even realise that they could be affected by breast carcinoma. This type of ignorance could be the reason of late diagnosis of the disease and even a worse prognosis. The first part of the bachelor's thesis is focused on theoretical information with a description of a breast's anatomy, a brief overview of tumorous diseases and its classification and dividing. Subsequently it pays attention to high-risk factors, particular machinery used for detecting of the disease. It also includes the therapy of breast carcinoma itself including specific information about radiotherapy. The theoretical section is constructed from specialized publications, articles, and internet websites by literary research. The practical part of the bachelor's thesis has two main goals. First of them is to find out the exact rate of men awareness about breast carcinoma with directing it on their knowledge of possible occurrence of this illness in men's population and potential symptoms and treatment. An anonymous form with 21 questions was made to find out the results needed for this thesis. In this questionnaire 58 men have participated in total. The second aim of the thesis was to preform an analysis of the number of men and women, whom was breast carcinoma detected in the period from January 2017 till December 2021. Gained data was afterwards compared with literature, which states the approximate ratio between men and women breast disease 100:1. The data for the practical part comes from computer database of 3 oncological centres, which are Oncological department Hospital České Budějovice a. s., Oncological clinic University Hospital in Prague and Oncological department Hospital Jihlava a. s. File included 30 male patients and 4075 female patients in total.

Selected aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic in healthcare professionals
POLAN, Martin
The diploma thesis focused on the question of what impact the COVID-19 disease pandemic had on healthcare workers. The theoretical part compares the available literature and provides the necessary information about the causative agent of this viral disease. Furthermore, stress, its causes, risk factors, manifestations and methods of its management are described. The biggest space here is devoted to the burnout syndrome. The aim of the research part was to find out to what extent burnout syndrome occurs in health workers and what factors influence it. The research was carried out in selected departments in the Hospital České Budějovice, a.s., specifically in the Internal Medicine Department, Anesthesiology-resuscitation Department, Emergency Department, Infectious Diseases Department and Department of Hospital Hygiene and Epidemiology. The necessary data were obtained in the form of quantitative research, through the standardized questionnaire "Maslach Burnout Inventory." These results were evaluated and statistically verified in order to confirm or refute the hypotheses. As a result, well over 50 % of healthcare workers experienced worsening symptoms of burnout during the pandemic. The connection between a certain factor and the presence of burnout syndrome was statistically proven only for the factor of village size, where people from villages with a population of up to 3,000 showed a lower rate of burnout than people from villages with a higher number of inhabitants.
