Emotionality in the job of a nurse
HLACHOVÁ, Martina
The bachelor thesis of the title: "Emotionality in the job of a nurse" deals with the emotional company of a nurse which is part of experiencing in her assisting profession. In the course of every common and special day people experience a wide scale of various emotions not only in their everyday lives but also in their professions. The profession of a nurse belongs to an assisting profession and therefore in patients' eyes a nurse should be the one who has understanding for their problems during the illness and who helps to solve them with a great deal of tolerance and kindness. In her profession a nurse must fight with emotional tiredness, detritions and deformation leading to a state of cynicism which results in a simplified view of the ill and their problems. Next to their work, the mission of nurses is to be able to care well about the ill and never forget that a patient is first of all man, whose interests just they should protect. Literature mentions the fact that it is important to realize that a nurse does not work only for the ill ones, but particularly with them {--} which this thesis confirms. The theoretical part aims at emotionality as part of experiencing, emotions, at the job description of a nurse, her relation to the patient, empathy. Further it deals with various risks endangering the nurse from the psychological point of view, self-control and methods for mental health sustenance of a nurse. The second part of the thesis is a research part. The thesis has set two goals: the first goal is to determine how nurses react emotionally to patients' problems. The second goal is to determine which factors positively influence suitable nurses' emotional reactions to patients' problems. On the basis of these goals two research questions were set: 1)How do nurses emotionally react to patients' problems? and 2)Which factors positively influence suitable emotional reactions of nurses to patients' problems? To meet the goals of the thesis I used the method of a qualitative research survey. The survey is performed with the technique of non-standard dialogue which was provided by seven nurses working in the home for elderly people in Dobrá Voda.

Psychosocial load at work of nurses and social workers
KUŘÁTKOVÁ, Lucie
The Thesis deals with the questions of psychosocial load at work for nurses and social workers. The Thesis is divided into two sections. The theoretical part deals with definitions of terms like caring professions, load and stress, then load at work and psychosocial load. There is also a brief characteristic of the professions of a nurse and a social worker. The aim of the empiric part was to find out on a selected sample of respondents (i.e. nurses and social workers) how the respondents perceive the character of their psychosocial load at work and whether they are at risk of burnout syndrome, to find out whether nurses or social workers perceive the psychosocial load more intensely and whether there is a difference in the risk of burnout syndrome between them. A quantitative questioning method and questionnaire technique were applied on data collection and processing in the research part of the Thesis. An anonymous questionnaire was used for the investigation. The questionnaire preparation was based on a questionnaire provided by my thesis guide. The original questionnaire was more extensive and was only designed for nurses, which was why I had to select suitable items and add some special items applicable on nurses as well as social workers. The questionnaire consisted mainly of closed questions where the respondents chose from five answers the one best corresponding with their own opinion. I set 3 hypotheses before starting the research itself. The questionnaire answers were processed both, manually by means of the stroke method and by a statistic programme SPSS. Segment and bar graphs in Microsoft Office Excel were used for graphical interpretation of the results. After evaluation of the questionnaire research results I found out that the previously set hypothesis H1 suggesting that nurses and social workers perceive various elements of their psychosocial load differently, was confirmed, hypothesis H2 suggesting that nurses are more loaded by the work with patients/clients than social workers was not confirmed, and hypothesis H3 suggesting that nurses are at higher risk of burnout syndrome than social workers was confirmed. The results of my thesis may serve to inform general public as well as professionals on the problems in question. They may also serve as a possible incentive for managerial staff to pay higher attention to the problems of psychosocial load at work among caring professions at individual medical care facilities. The results may also serve as a base for further studies and research in the field.

Abuse of power against clients by professional staff in care facilities.
KUPSOVÁ, Jitka
The objective of my dissertation work titled ``Abuse of power against clients by professional staff in care facilities{\crqq} is to establish whether the ethical codes are observed in the social and health care institutions providing accommodation services to their clients. Another objective of the work is to find out whether the employers running these institutions take adequate measures to prevent the burnt-out syndrome in their employees. The theoretical part of the work deals with the philosophical and ethical aspects in the client-employee relationship, defines various forms of aggression, its root causes and symptoms as experienced among the staff caring for the clients. It also summarises legal aspects of human rights violations in caring homes. The research part of the work summarises the findings acquired in the field survey using the questionnaires filled in by the staff working in the social and health care institutions accommodating clients in the district of Tábor. It is focused on their opinions, expertise and willingness to adhere to the quality standards and code of ethics, on the quality and type of the relationship with their clients and the ability to cope with the everyday challenges posed by their jobs. It also tries to identify the quality of communication between the management and the employees, the level of satisfaction at work and the possible prevention of the burnt-out syndrome. The staff employed in the social and health care institutions should refrain from any type of aggression and should always prefer standard means of communication as an inherent part of their professional conduct. To improve the ability to deal with potential conflicts and also as a preventive measure the psychological and therapeutic training is recommended. The recommendation aimed at the employers includes the development of human resources, their professional and personal development based on life-long learning in order to improve the communication between the management and employees, prevent the exhaustion by work overload and support the relaxation and leisure time activities of the staff. The outcome of the dissertation could help to improve the quality of care provided by professionals in the institutions accommodating clients and it could also provide some useful ideas how to improve the performance of the assisting staff in these institutions.

The nurses´ turnover into other professions on the labour market
SOVOVÁ, Zuzana
The profession of general nurse is very demanding. The International Labour Organisation and World Health Organisation believe it to be one of the riskiest jobs. Having completed difficult studies nurses often leave their jobs for other positions due to insufficient financial reward which is inadequate to the physical and mental load. The issue of lack of nurses emerged in the Czech Republic as early as before 2004. This situation worsened after the country{\crq}s association with the European Union because nurses began to use the free movement of persons on the labour market. They find work in more attractive industries which are not so demanding in personal and working life. Workers cannot keep up with a pace of work for a long time, unless their mental and physical health is properly looked after. Overloading often results in dissatisfaction and fluctuations. This diploma thesis maps the level of general nurses' departures to other professions on the labour market, which are listed in particular. The survey carried out is quantitative. It employs the method of enquiring persons by means of anonymous questionnaires. The results entail that the level of fluctuations shows a rising tendency. This is caused mainly by low financial remuneration and the impact upon the family and personal life. Possible solutions may include higher salary, higher social respect, saturation of the lack of personnel, application of fundraising, supervisions or employee benefits. It is essential to emphasise the prevention during professional studies. I have chosen the topic of general nurses{\crq} fluctuations mainly because it is a highly charged issue and because I felt that it was necessary to point out a problem that I experienced myself. As modern nursing care is developing, the demands for medical staff are increasing; unfortunately this is not in proportion to the amount of prevention devoted to the issue of workload. I attempted to outline the causes of nurses{\crq} fluctuations and mention also possible ways of preventing the outflow of nurses from this strenuous, yet beautiful and socially irreplaceable job.

In theoretical part I dealt with a question what is the mason for a person to perform helping professions.This job is of considerable attraction that can be the reason why an employee can perform this exhausting work even at lower financial evaluation than what is offered at some other professions. Important is that helping is undoubtedly meaningful activity for lots of people. Helping person concerns important life questions and problems of real people. The aim of practical part is monitoring of satisfaction in people working at state( Libnič Home and Empatie Centre) and non-state (Arpida Centre) institution including system of burn-out prevention. Supposed hypotheses: 1. Workers of monitored centers are despite of their lower financial evaluation satisfied with their jobs. 2. Motivation for choice of helping professions are the same both in state and non-state institutions. 3. Workers of monitored centres are informed on rules of psychohygiene in performing the helping professions. The research confirmed first and third hypotheses. The second hypothesis was not confirmed. In order to prove the hypotheses I used a form of quantitative questioning. The data collection proceeded with questioning method, technique of questionnaire.

The problems of the motivation of altruistic behaviour in helping professions
HŮDOVÁ, Jana
Diploma thesis deals with altruistic behaviour of the professionals, such as teachers, nurses and doctors, who provide helping service. The work focuses not only on the professional part of the care but also on human care and feeling towards patients. Two proposed hypothesis were tested. The hypothesis H1: strictly brought up people working in the helping profession lead their patients to the passive dependency. The hypothesis H2: religiously brought up people working in the helping profession feel to be blame more often than the other people. A special questionnaire, containing 25 questions, was designed. Each of the questions offered various variants of answers which had to be mutually inconsistent. The questions can be divided into groups: one of them characterized the composition of the respondents, four served for the hypothesis testing and the rest of the questions enabled to fine distinguish various characteristics of the respondents and to mask the purpose of the questions. In the group of 97 respondents prevailed women in the age below 45 years of the nursery profession who practiced 1 to 20 years. Most of them were atheists. In the group of religious people prevailed the Catholics. The professional software EXCEL 3 was used to test both hypothesis and the special logic calculus was developed to make the answer evaluation easier. The output/input controls of the entering data were also used to find the occasional mistakes. The hypothesis was proved if more then 70 percent of the premises responded to the presumptive implications. Based on this criterion the hypothesis H1 was proved while the hypothesis was not approved.

Social role: Nurse
SMYČKOVÁ, Iva
We elaborated our work named ``Social role: Nurse{\crqq} on the basis of a theoretical part by making a research among nurses and laics, both from the hospitalised and not hospitalised part of the general public. We concluded from the obtained results that the society{\crq}s evaluation of nurses is mainly positive; nurses are highly regarded not only by their patients but also by the public that is not hospitalised at the moment. When asking how respondents view the status and image of nurses we encountered a more positive assessment from the public than from the nurses themselves. Therefore we assume that nurses view themselves in the eye of the society worse than they are perceived in reality.
