The literary statement of mentally ill individuals as a testimony of a fight for normality (its ethical aspect)
VEDRALOVÁ, Aneta
Goal of this bachelor thesis is to describe dominant ethical aspects of a return of a mentally ill person back to normal life and to point out by this the importance of social support in the process of recovery. As a specific of this thesis I consider a fact that my source of data were not just semi-structured interviews but also the content analysis of books written by two women, who have personal experience with psychotic form of illness. To result effective achievement of a main research goal, the thesis is divided into two parts, into theoretical part and into empirical part. The theoretical part is a vast treatise about schizophrenic disease written in a way so the reader would better experience life from the point of view of a mentally ill person. It includes the description of schizophrenia, its possible manifestations, social impacts, treatment or prognosis. In addition to that, a part dedicated to the treatment of schizophrenia describes a type of treatment that is not very often used in the Czech Republic called narrative therapy. Another equally important section of the theoretical part is the treatise about stigma of mental illness and its possible elimination by activities of anti-stigmatizing nature. Theory is then finished by outlining the issue of normality. The empirical part of my bachelor thesis is trying to reach set goal with the help of qualitative strategy. It is happening through the analysis of loose transcription of two semi-structured interviews, but also through the content analysis of two books. One of them is called Ve stínech za zrcadlem aneb o životě s psychózou which was written by Markéta Bednářová, and the other one is called Homo psychoticus written by Markéta Dohnalová. It is clear from the research that mentally ill individual must (besides the disease itself) fight with the negative attitude of society, that treats him discriminatory, while he is trying to get back to his normal functioning. For example, mentally ill people have problems to keep a job, or even to find one that suits their abilities and possibilities. Successful recovery is also sometimes prevented by the treatment of schizophrenia, which is quite a paradox. The ill people are not willing to use medicine with soothing and other undesirable effects which sadly often leads to relapse and repeated hospitalization. Another problem to successful return can also be family. It is important for the ill individual to return back to stable and safe environment which serves as a protection and prevention from possible relapse of the disease. The ill individual is often hindrance to himself. Self-stigmatization goes hand in hand with the loss of self-confidence, with the change of identity and with the consequent stagnation in the label of mental illness. It comes to the internalization of prejudices, which the society holds against people ill with schizophrenia and the ill individual gives up all efforts on his full integration back to the society. In a fight against stigmatization and primarily self-stigmatization, it seems to be effective to reveal one's diagnosis and to talk about it openly. This is what Markéta Bednářová and Markéta Dohnalová, who both believe that writing a book about a fight against their disease is an effective form of autotherapy and also a bridge to mental health, did. This bachelor thesis could arouse further interest about therapy for people ill with schizophrenia through writing of their life story, and it could also serve as an accompanying material while teaching social work with the intention to describe the concepts of stigmatization of mental illness to students. And beside that it can evoke further interest in support of social services which try to ease the return of an ill individual back to the society. And finally, this bachelor theses itself could be a bearer of anti-stigmatizing influence.

Transformation of adult children's relationships to their mother suffering from dementia
PECNOVÁ, Iveta
The relationship between mother and child is significantly influenced by the development of the personality of the two participants. In the event that the mother suffers dementia that changes her personality, her decline can be assumed to be accompanied by a transformation in interfamilial relationships. This baccalaureate thesis presents the specific life situations of two generations connected by a maternal bond. Attention is first focused on the sick mother, whose illness is detailed in the theoretical portion of the paper. The research also focuses on the family and the experiences of its members. The children gradually adapt to their roles of caregivers while coping with many difficulties and their own suffering. The practical part of the paper examines how the relationship is experienced from the point of view of the adult child. The chosen qualitative study method maps the experiences of children and their mother's transformation. The group being studied consists of eight participants, whose mothers are hospitalized in a gerontopsychiatric unit due to the advanced stage of their disease. The data was gathered through unstructured interviews and then analyzed using the "case card" method. An analysis of the testimonies of daughters and sons of seriously ill women made it possible to describe how the children's roles changed in the relationship and how they perceived their mothers' illnesses. The children notice that the mutational emotional relationship changed as a result of the onset of their mothers' dementia. The results also show that children experienced strong feelings of guilt about their mothers' situations.

Coping strategies in children´s fear and pain in relation to nursing care
PROCHÁZKOVÁ, Zuzana
For the nurse, taking care of hospitalized children is important not only pediatric nursing knowledge, personal and social preconditions, but also the theoretical and practical competency of methods and techniques, which are used for identification and effective influencing of pain and fear. The aim of this thesis was to identify the main sources of fear of the hospitalized preschool and young school age children and to find out the effective methods and principles of the cooperation with children, alternatively with their accompanying parents in order to moderate the fear of the small patient. Then the thesis tried to chart the nursing diagnostic and evaluation procedure of the pain and get the most used nursing methods of non-pharmacological pain relief. To obtain the necessary data, the qualitative research was used with a semi-structured interview as a research instrument. The first research group consisted of 12 nurses, the second group consisted of 12 children ´s patients of preschool and young school age. The majority of the asked nurses thinks, that children´s patients are afraid especially of non-familiar environment, then of the awaited pain and of the solitude without parents. However, the most patients said, that they were afraid especially of pain, then of non-familiar environment, restriction of their needs, hostile attitude of the medical staff and of the other neighbouring patients. They were also frightened of the death and of the darkness. Most reported nurses mean, that the most effective solution of the children ´s fear is the friendly attitude of the medics. They also mentioned the fact of taking the focus off the fear and the presence of the parents is also beneficial. The nurses ´ answers were in conformity with patients opinion in two fields - friendly attitude of the medics and taking the focus off the fear. Then the children mentioned abiding of their specifics in connection to falling asleep and the demand of beying treated by the same sister or by few same sisters. All respondents also talked about the benefit of parents presence. Regarding the principles of the cooperation, nurses answered the importance of united medical procedures, especially the proper way of information transfer. Then the respondents nurses mentioned the psychical and emotional support for children and their accompaniments, the atmosphere of confidence and the value of well done education. Also the need of calm, silence and privacy was stated. Unlike nurses, children and their parents regarding to principles of the cooperation prefer the psychical and emotional support, then the importance of enough information was mentioned. The fourth research question bears on the methods used for children pain monitoring. The nurses said, that the intentional interview with the patients or with the parents was used as a main technique, that was stated by patients as well. Research question number five said: What are the most used nursing methods of non-pharmacological pain relief at children? Most responded nurses mentioned the distraction of children attention from the painful incentive, then the importance of physical methods, relief position and purposeful preparation for the unpleasant intervention. Nurses also named the helpful contribution of the parents, relaxing exercises and the method of imagination. Regarding the pain treatment, it was noted, that all patients prefered the analgesic therapy. Then they quoted the distraction of their attention from the painful incentive, the friendly attitude of the medics, using the ice compress and the relief position. In the pain acute phase, children required mostly calm, comfort and privacy. All children also considered the presence of parents as very helpful. The theoretical and empirical part of the thesis are suitable for being studied by nurses taking care of children and it can be helpful for nursing quality improvement at children ´s wards in hospitals.

Self-sufficiency of home care clients
MOTYČÁKOVÁ, Barbora
The topic of this bachelor thesis is the self-sufficiency of home care clients. This thesis focuses on the importance of home care agencies and their influence on the self-sufficiency of the clients in the home environment. The aim is to find out to what extent the nurses of the home care agencies intervene to help clients achieve self-sufficiency. To reach the aim of my work and gather information, I prepared questionnaires for clients of home care agencies and for professional public. The theoretical part focuses mainly on the clarifying of the term "home care" and also the client and his or her self-sufficiency. The practical part is based upon the findings of the questionnaires completed by the nurses of the home care agencies and the clients. Hereby it is also possible to prove the hypothesis, whether the nurses test the self-sufficiency of their home care clients, if they utilise compensatory aids for the clients and also if they involve the other members of the clients´ families to support the clients´ self-sufficiency. On the basis of available information resources and available literature, I attempted to carry out a current analysis of the environment. The obtained data are evaluated and presented in charts.

When the health care of the patient becomes
PALIČKOVÁ, Pavla
The theoretical part is divided into five further parts. The first part is focused on the concept of health, definition of health which was constantly changing and also characterization of four various views on the concept of health. The second part will explain the concept of disease, the burden of disease and nurse's and patient's attitudes toward the disease will be discussed. The third part contains characteristics of the patient, their role, personal qualities and their shift in how they experience of the disease and how they act. The fourth part is focused on the nurse as such. It describes the role of doctor, nurse and care worker in patient's position. The fifth and last part is dedicated to hospitalization. Here we can find relationship between a patient and a nurse in hospitalization. This goes with explaining the importance of conversation and its role during hospitalization. The last sub-chapter of this part covers adaptation to the hospital environment and concludes the theoretical part of this thesis.The aim of this work was to 1. Find out about the view of one's own experienced hospitalization. 2. Find out how nurse's personal qualities have been affected by hospitalization. 3. Find out whether the hospitalization has affected their further job performance.The research part of this thesis was carried out using the method of qualitative survey. Data were collected with the help of semi structured interview.In the beginning of the interview, each respondent was assured that her identity will remain anonymous and that all the information acquired will be used only for this bachelor thesis.The survey was carried out in the respondents' privacy.The research showed that hospitalization experience is different between nurses in the role of patient and "ordinary" patients.Nurses as patients have higher expectations for example towards nursing service or providing information on their health condition. That is given by their medical background. On the other hand, it turns out that their education prevents them from embracing the role of patient and ask more questions.We can therefore say that the nurse/patient is in a way a really demanding client for the medical staff. The research has revealed that it cannot be definitely stated that medical education has significant influence on providing information on health condition. The research has further shown that respondents had no issues with attractiveness and equipment of the department. Early waking up for taking the patients temperature was perceived as negative.The research shown that, in terms of providing assistance in self-care, the personnel was very helpful, attentive, kind and saw "no issues".Further part of the research investigation was to determine how the health nurse/patient's hospitalization affected them on a personal level. What changes affect the nurse's professional attitude towards the patient after having personal experience as a patient and how they will use the experience in their professional performance. The results show that the respondents are trying to contemplate on their hospitalization experience. The results have also shown that the respondents tend to change their attitude mostly on the basis of unprofessional attitude on the part of medical personnel.In spite of this fact, nine respondents managed not only to think about their professional weaknesses but were also able to make use of the negative hospitalization experience for further development and improvement as for their professional performance. This thesis provides an insight of a nurse in the role of patient in hospitalization focused on the behaviour of nurses and their carer's approach towards patients.As the results have shown that the most problematic part was obtaining and providing information, I propose a seminar focused on the topic of how to learn relevant communication skills.

This part also defines fertilization, implantation, implantation of the fetus, fetal development, pregnancy diagnosis, pregnancy changes and the role of midwives in prenatal counseling in 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Furthermore, the theoretical part focuses on the high risk pregnancy and its risk factors. One particular chapter describes hospitalization of woman in the department for high risk pregnancy that deals with pre-term birth, multiple pregnancies, bleeding during pregnancy, irregular positions of the fetus, disease affecting pregnant woman and midwifery care for women with high risk pregnancy. The theoretical part is concluded by the description of woman´s needs during hospitalization in the department for high risk pregnancy. The goal of this bachelor thesis is to find out if high risk pregnancy affect the needs of women during hospitalization. The research question was: How do high risk pregnancies affect the needs of women during hospitalization? It was used qualitative research and semi-structured interview for the research. The interview served for data collection and contained pre-prepared sets of questions. Interviews took place in the department for high risk pregnancy during the period of March and April 2015. The respondents were a total of ten women hospitalized in the department for high risk pregnancy in the hospital in České Budějovice. Interviews with respondents were held in calm predetermined locations. All respondents agreed to participate in the research, the agreement was carried out in writing, and were familiarized with the fact that all the information is collected for this bachelor thesis. The data was analyzed by coloring the text and creating its categories and subcategories. Direct speech is used to present the results of the interviews that are marked in italics in text. Two categories and subcategories were set. First category is called Information and its aim was to collect information given by women in the department for high risk pregnancy. This category includes the following subcategories: Source of information and Satisfaction of information. These subcategories inform us about sources and satisfaction with the information. Second category is called Needs and is preoccupied with the needs of women. This category includes three subcategories: Physiological Needs, Social Needs and "Psychological Needs" that deal with physiological, social and psychological needs. The research showed that hospitalization of women in the department for high risk pregnancy influenced especially bowel movement, sleep, rest, activity and nutrition. Some respondents were not satisfied with their state of health and with results of examination realized by doctors. On the other hand, the majority of respondents were satisfied with the information provided by midwives. Concerning another subcategory dealing with needs, all respondents said that their contact with friends and family was limited. For this reason, they tried to communicate with mobile phones and computers. In addition, hospitalization also affected their family life as they could not take care of older children and look after the household. Psychological condition was very important during hospitalization. Women felt worried about their state of health and the health of their unborn child. Respondents stated that their biggest psychological support was provided by their partner, husband, family, friends, and also midwives. This bachelor thesis can serve as informational source for midwives who work in the department for high risk pregnancy or as educational text for the public.
