Problems of communication barriers by patients with tracheotomy in intensive care units
 POLÍVKOVÁ, Eva
The thesis is aimed at the problems of communication barriers in patients with tracheotomy at intensive care units. Communication is the basis of nursing care and nursing process is based on partnership relation between a nurse and a patient. Everybody who wants to communicate sometimes faces problems, obstacles complicating his/her interpersonal communication. Recognition of these obstacles is the first step leading to their overcoming. Tracheostomy disqualifies the glottal function and patients are not able to communicate by means of speech. Such a situation is new for the patients and is also very stressing, which is why these patients have to be paid extra attention and these problems have to be dealt with. The aims of the work and the hypotheses were focused on the area of communication barriers, but also on adherence to the effective communication principles and alternative ways of communication. The goal was to find mutual dependence between the individual variables. Quantitative research extended by qualitative research was used for reaching the goals. An important relation was proven in hypothesis number two upon the results of statistic examination. The fact that the communication barriers perceived by a nurse depend on the character of the department where the nurse works was found. Some relation was also proven in hypothesis number eight, which examined dependence of alternative ways of communication on the character of the hospital department. No dependence relation was found in the other hypotheses. An analysis of results obtained from nurses and from patients showed us that nurses realize many more communication barriers in patients than patients themselves. A hypothesis expressing a relation between selection of an alternative communication method and the overall patient condition arose from the qualitative research.

The fundamentals of management, the three basic lines of health managers and their functions and roles are described first. Another section is devoted to the specifics of nursing care in the intensive care unit. The second part is focused on qualified nurses, their qualification, duties and the role, factors of satisfaction and difficulties of the care for patients in the intensive care unit. The last part deals with problems occurring in exercise of the nursing profession and with the assistance of a manager in dealing with these problems. Five objectives were established. Objective 1: To identify what nurses working in intensive care units need to be satisfied in their work. Objective 2: To map the form of support to the nursing team in the ICU from the perspective of managers. Objective 3: To point out possibilities of increase in job satisfaction of nurses working in intensive care units. Objective 4: To identify motivational factors for nurses working in intensive care units. Objective 5: To determine if there are obstacles preventing managers from supporting the nursing team. Qualitative research was selected to collect the data and 6 research questions were established. Research question No.1: What do nurses working in ICU need to be satisfied in their profession? Research question No.2: Do nurses working in ICU perceive any difference in position of a nurse working in an ICU and a nurse working in a standard unit? Another question No.3: What are the means used by the management to support the nursing team in ICU? Question No. 4: What are the possibilities of increasing work satisfaction of nurses working in ICU? Question No. 5: Which specific motivational factors are involved in satisfaction of nurses working in ICU? Research question No. 6: Which obstacles prevent managers from supporting the nursing team? Non-standardized interviews were conducted with 8 ward nurses and 12 nurses working in shifts who were employed in intensive care units of surgical or internal departments. Answers to the established research questions were formed based on analysis of the results. Results can be provided to managers in health care facilities and to nurses working in intensive care units.
