The awareness of nurses working in anestesiology-resuscitation wards and intensive care units about competences determined in regulation No. 424/2004 Coll.
MARTÍNKOVÁ, Petra
This paper investigates the competences of nurses on staff of the anesthesiology & resuscitation departments and the intensive care units as such competences are defined in Decree 424/2004 Coll. The paper has been split into two sections: theoretical and practical. The theoretical section looks into the roles and competencies assigned to the non-specialized nurses and to those who have completed a specialism course, specifically the "intensive-care general nurses", and describes the kinds of patients hospitalized at the mentioned departments. The paper aimed (1) to examine the extent to which the nurses were informed on their competencies following from Decree 424/2004 Coll. and (2) to find out how consistent the nurses were in adhering to what the Decree required. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted at the Brno Faculty Hospital, the Pilsen-Lochotín Faculty Hospital, and the St. Anne Faculty Hospital in Brno; moreover, the questionnaires were distributed among the nurses also using an internet social network. At the early stage of the work the authors formulated two hypotheses: (1) the nurses are not familiar with all their competencies; and (2) the nurses fail to observe the competencies following from the Decree specified above. With the questionnaires answered and the answers evaluated, both the hypotheses proved to be true. The nurses were found not familiar with all their competencies and not performing all that the Decree allowed. We believe the paper could be instrumental in enhancing the vocational education of nurses and, consequently, in could improve the quality of nursing care provided at the anesthesiology & resuscitation departments and the intensive care units.

Cooperation between nurses and physicians from the perspective of nursing management
KADLECOVÁ, Ivana
Cooperation of nurses and physicians from the perspective of nursing management Master's thesis was focused on the cooperation of nurses and physicians from the perspective of nursing management. Nursing care and nursing management has an irreplaceable role in health care. The world of medicine, nursing care and health care is an extremely complex organizational system, which is not surely represented only by physicians and nurses, but these, however, are still the dominant persons on the scene. The first objective of this thesis was to make a survey of cooperation between nurses and physicians during the nursing process in the care of patients from the perspective of nursing management in departments of surgery and internal medicine. The second objective was to identify problem areas in cooperation between nurses and physicians from the perspective of nursing management in departments of surgery and internal medicine, and the third objective was to find out the way the nursing management tackles problem situations in cooperation between nurses and physicians in departments of surgery and internal medicine. To meet these objectives four research questions were stated: 1. In what areas do nurses and physicians cooperate during the nursing process while providing care for patients from the perspective of nursing management in their respective departments? 2. How do nurses assess and perceive cooperation with physicians from the perspective of nursing management in their respective departments? 3. Are there problem areas in cooperation of nurses and physicians from the perspective of nursing management in their respective departments? 4. How does nursing management tackle problem situations in cooperation between nurses and physicians in their respective departments? The research was conducted in the hospital, where I was given information under the condition of anonymity of the respondents interviewed. The responders were chief nurses and senior staff nurses working in departments of surgery and internal medicine. The investigation conducted is a qualitative research. Interviews with the structure of questions to non-standardized interviews were conducted with the respondents according to question structures of the non-standardized interview. Subsequently, transcripts of interviews and data categorization in tables according to the Ritchie and Spencer´s framework analysis were made. The survey suggests the following conclusions. Nurses and physicians cooperate within the nursing process in providing care for patients from the perspective of nursing management in departments of surgery and internal medicine at the stage of problem solving. Nurses appreciate cooperation with physicians on the basis of mutual respect, but they still feel the prevailing dominance of physicians. From the perspective of nursing management there are problematic areas in cooperation between nurses and physicians. Nursing management tackles problem situation in cooperation between nurses and physicians by seeking common solutions. It will be possible to provide the health care facilities, where the research was conducted, with the outcomes of the research. Thinking about the possible improvement in mutual cooperation as early as during physicians´ and nurses´ studies, to introduce various measures to improve cooperation between nurses and physicians by organizing joint seminars and cultural events could lead to meeting the purpose. It is necessary to raise physicians´ awareness of nursing process and to carry out further research on this topic.

Safe Nursing Care
HAVELKOVÁ, Hana
Patients{\crq} safety is a global problem and we are increasingly thinking about the possibilities of improving the quality of care provided. This is a priority for all health care providers, including nurses. We must not forget the patients and their close family because they are our partners and the nurses should seek to ensure that the patients themselves are actively involved in the care of their health and play an important role in preventing some unwanted errors. The theoretical part of the thesis is devoted to a detailed analysis of the concept of safety and safe care and the associated negatives. The goal of the thesis was to determine which resources are used to maintain the level of safe nursing care by nurses with specialized training. Six hypotheses were determined. The quantitative survey technique was used to achieve the objectives of this thesis and to verify the hypotheses. The group consisted of nurses from all over the Czech Republic in the month of February 2010 studying on a specialized training course of the NCO/ NZO (National Center of Nursing/ Non- medical health disciplines) in Brno. The results imply that the nurses interviewed do not use enough resources to help reduce the risk of errors leading to an increase in the level of safe nursing care. The proposed measures are intended to increase the use of resources for maintaining the level of safe nursing care which is a clearly dependent on the awareness of their existence. This also strongly urges management to make more use of various resources and inform all medical staff not only nurses about new procedures and analyses carried out on a regular basis. Managers should conduct a regular and detailed analysis of past errors or incidents to establish the risk of error and take steps to minimize such unwanted events. The results of the survey will be provided to the professional public, published in professional journals and can serve as a basis for comparing other survey research.
