SPECIFIC FEATURES OF PSYCHOANALYTICAL NEEDS OF PATIENTS AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
MERUNKOVÁ, Michaela
The diseases of the vascular system are the most important cause of the death generally (up to 30% of the world-wide mortality). The myocardial infarction represents 13% of all the death cases due to cardiovascular illnesses. Men often suffer myocardial infarction already after 40th year of life, as for women, it appears after the climax. After the 60th year of age the myocardial infarction is equally frequent in case of both sexes. In the last years also the myocardial infarction in case of people younger than thirty-five years is not a rarity. In the bachelor{\crq}s thesis the method of quantitative research by the technique of questioning was applied. In the questionnaire, there are in total 30 questions. 17 of them were closed and 13 half-open. The questionnaires were distributed to patients of the cardio-surgical and cardiological ambulance of the Hospital in České Budějovice, a.s. during their first check after the myocardial infarction. In total 100 questionnaires were distributed and 86 questionnaires were applied for processing the data. The data collection was performed during January, February and March 2009. The thesis focused on specifics of the psychological and social needs of the patient after myocardial infarction. The target of the thesis was to find out where the patients after myocardial infarction look for social support (target 1). Determination of the most frequent problems of the patient after myocardial infarction (target 2). To find out moreover if the saturation of higher needs of patients after the surgical solution of myocardial infarction differs from that of the patients healed in a conservative way (target 3). Three hypotheses were determined based on these goals. First hypothesis: For the patients after myocardial infarction the most frequent support is their family. This hypothesis was confirmed by the research. The most respondents stated as the most important social support their wife or husband, other family members and last but not least a common-law husband or wife. Second hypothesis: The change of life style is among the most frequent problems of the patient after myocardial infarction. This hypothesis was confirmed by research. The change of the life style was stated by 56% of respondents as the most important problem. In spite of the sufficient education the patients have not enough motivation or firm will to change their hitherto life. Third hypothesis: The saturation of higher needs is achieved sooner in the group of patients healed in a conservative way than in the group of patients healed in a surgical way. It followed from the results of the research that the type of myocardial infarction healing may be reflected in the return of the patients into the normal life, however, it has no influence on the occurrence of the stress, fear, sadness and hopelessness after myocardial infarction. This hypothesis was refuted by the research. It follows from the results of the research that it would be suitable to continue the co-operation after the release for the home treatment. To help them to find a suitable way for the change of the lifestyle, to learn them to treat themselves carefully. To motivate for the co-operation not only them, but also their close surroundings, mainly the family. As the family is the most support for them and it could facilitate the deciding of patients in some items and to support them positively.
The comparison of communication skills of nurses with a deathward client in hospitals and hospice homes.
ADAMCOVÁ, Lenka
This Bachelor's work examines nurses' skills in communicating with terminally ill patients in hospital and hospice facilities. The aim of this work is to present a detailed overview of the communication skills of nurses treating dying patients in hospital and hospice facilities as well as to identify what approaches nurses working in hospital and hospice facilities are not taking when treating terminally ill patients and to identify the specific issues that nurses must deal with when treating terminally ill patients in hospital facilities. A method of quantitative research was used to obtain findings for this Bachelor's work, and questionnaires were used to collect data. The addressed respondents were medical staff treating patients at the Central Military Hospital in Prague as well as at the St. Agnes of Bohemia Hospice in Červený Kostelec, the St. Lazarus Hospice in Plzeň and the Hospice on the Holy Little Hill in Olomouc. A total of 129 questionnaires were distributed, and only 33 were not returned. Therefore, 74% of the respondents did complete and return the questionnaires. However, 12 questionnaires were excluded for being incomplete. A total of 85 questionnaires, 66% of the original number of questionnaires distributed, were used to process the data. Therefore, the answers of 85 respondents were used for the research. Four hypotheses were established: 1. The methods and the level of communication of nurses caring for terminally ill patients are influenced by education and awareness {--} this was confirmed; 2. The process of caring for terminally ill patients depends on the conditions for providing comprehensive treatment care in hospital departments and in hospital facilities {--} this was confirmed; 3. Nurses in hospital facilities lack sufficient education for communication with terminally ill patients, and the conditions for providing comprehensive care are insufficient as well {--} this was confirmed; 4. Nurses in hospice facilities are familiar with communication techniques and regularly use them when accompanying dying patients {--} this was confirmed. The results of the research will be provided to employees in management positions in the examined hospital facilities and two hospices in order to improve the quality of the care provided to terminally ill patients.
The role of nurse in education of patients with implanted intravenous port catheter
VODIČKOVÁ, Petra
Intravenous port catheter is a special type of central intravenous catheter ensuring a reliable, safe and longterm access into the central vein by means of hypodermic injection. In recent years the intravenous port catheters have become common part of treatment and they are mainly used in patients suffering from oncological malignities for repeated doses of chemotherapy and pain killing medicine. Intravenous port catheters are also applied in other chronic states when a quality and reliable vein access is necessary. The care for intravenous port catheters is very special and the attitude of the nurse plays an important role. It is important to include the patient in the care for the intravenous port catheter, communicate with him/her effectively and to provide him with sufficient information. Thus a good cooperation between the patient and the nurse can be ensured the result of which is a fully functional intravenous port catheter with a long use. This paper deals with the role of the nurse in educating patients with an intravenous port catheter. It is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part contains information on the intravenous port catheter and education of patients. The practical part consists of a qualitative research. The method of individual, partially prepared interviews with patients with intravenous port catheter was applied to data collecting. Three research questions were set: 1. Are patients with an intravenous port catheter interested in receiving information on this system? 2. Are patients with an intravenous port catheter interested in receiving printed information material? 3. Is printed information material beneficiary for patients? 12 patients made up the research file. The research was carried out at the haematological-oncological department of the University Hospital in Pilsen. The first goal of the paper was to find out what information patients with an intravenous port catheter need. The second goal was preparation of a printed education material for the patients based on the information found out. The third goal was to find out whether the prepared information material is a help to the patients. These goals were fulfilled. Based on the information from the first group patients an information leaflet was prepared. This leaflet was then applied to educate the second group patients. Patients acquainted with the leaflet and the information it provided were satisfied. Patients consider the benefit of the leaflet in that they can check the needed information and that they can write down in the leaflet questions for the nurse and write down notes. The analysis of the interviews has also shown that patients wish to complete information in the leaflet by a discussion with the nurse. The role the nurse is irreplaceable and the most effective method is to use the printed material together with a discussion. The results of this paper shall be applied in the work of nurses to provide quality information to patients with an intravenous port catheter.
The differencis of nurse treatment by Patients with TEP(total hip replecament) and with CCEP(cerviko capital replecament).
BUKÁČKOVÁ, Kristýna
This bachelor thesis focuses on the differences in nursing care of patients after TEP (total endoprosthesis) and after CCEP (cervical-capital endoprosthesis). The reason that led me to deal with this subject was the fact that I consider the knowledge of this matter as well as observing its principles by nurses for necessary. The objective of the thesis was to find out whether nurses know the difference in the nursing care of patients after TEP and CCEP, and whether they observe the differences in the nursing care. These objectives were fulfilled in the bachelor thesis. Two hypotheses were laid down. Hypothesis 1: Nurses know the difference in nursing care of patients after TEP and CCEP. Hypothesis 2: Nurses observe the difference in nursing care of patients after TEP and CCEP. The hypotheses were confirmed. The theoretical part of the thesis is focused on the anatomy and physiology of the hip bone and the historical development of endoprostheses. Further, the subject of the TEP and CCEP is dealt with here. It contains descriptions of the differences in the nursery care that nurses should put a lot of emphasis on and observe them. In the research part, the quantitative investigation by means of the questioning method, in the form of a questionnaire, and the qualitative research by means of the method of participating hidden observation, were chosen to verify the hypotheses. In practice, this thesis may be used in seminars, in which even the results of investigations may be dealt with, thus increasing the quality of the nursing care of patients after TEP (total endoprosthesis) and CCEP (cervical-capital endoprosthesis).
The role of the nurse by patient with Holter transmitted home
ČEČKOVÁ, Monika
Diseases of the cardiovascular system rank among the most frequent causes of death. This thesis called ``The role of the nurse taking care of patients with the Holter monitor when they are discharged home`` deals with this non-invasive examination of the cardiovascular system. Timely diagnostics is of high importance to show a number of diseases. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with diseases of the cardiovascular system. The diseases mentioned include: the syncope, arrhythmia, ischemic heart disease and hypertension. Further, it deals with the non-invasive examination by means of the Holter monitor, which is connected with the diseases mentioned before. This is followed by informing the patient in connection with this examination, communication skills of the medical staff with the patient and the education in this non-invasive examination. The practical part of the thesis lays down three objectives. The first objective was to find out whether patients with the Holter monitor, when being discharged home, have sufficient information on this examination. The second objective focused on nurses, and finding out the way nurses view their role as the educator of the patients with the Holter monitor. The third objective was to find out whether patients were afraid of this examination. Next, three hypotheses were set up. The first hypothesis supposed that nurses working in outpatient and inpatient cardiac care facilities had enough information on the electrocardiograph monitoring and blood pressure by means of the Holter monitor. The second hypothesis supposed patients with the Holter monitor, when being discharged home had sufficient information on this examination. The third hypothesis supposed that nurses educated patients with the Holter monitor on discharging them home. All objectives were fulfilled and hypotheses confirmed. To fulfil the objectives and confirm the hypotheses, I used the quantitative method. To collect data I used a questionnaire for patients and another one for nurses. The research set consisted of nurses working in selected outpatient facilities of the Kardiologie Medipont s.r.o. and Kardioecho s.r.o. in České Budějovice and in selected inpatient cardiac care facilities. Further, a questionnaire investigation with patients with the Holter monitor from the same health care facilities as the nurses. 80 questionnaires were handed out to patients and 80 questionnaires to the nurses. 53 questionnaires were given back by the patients and 39 questionnaires by the nurses. This thesis could acquaint the public and medical staffs with the prevention and symptoms of cardiovascular diseases, thus attracting their attention to the importance of timely diagnostics and treatment. Further, it could be of beneficial to inform the health care facilities the survey was conducted in, with the results. Nurses have a lot of roles during their work. Their role as the educator, which undoubtedly ranks among them, is essential in the diagnostics by the Holter monitor.
Demans put on nurses work when providing nursing care on hemodialysis department.
KADLEČKOVÁ, Aneta
Abstrakt In our Bachelor Diploma Work we dealt with the problems of the difficult of the work of nurses in the department of haemodialysis. We have chosen this topic because of the growing higher demands made on the nurses. It can be said that the profession of a nurse is very demanding, they are even jeopardized both by the psychological and physical influences. Because of that there are several advices the nurses should know and observe them. The professional literature encourages the nurses in the department of haemodialysis to find at lest a short moment to learn how to rest and to relax. Unfortunately it is not like that in reality. In the theoretical part we focused on the haemodialysis characteristics, on its indications, contra-indications, on the nursing care in this department and naturally on the psychological and physical impacts on the nurses in the department of haemodialysis. For the research investigation I used a semi-structured discussion. It contained 21 questions, the nurses had to answer. The data collection took place during March 2009. The total numer of enquired nurses was 16. The topic was based on the three targets. To find out what demands have been made on the treatment care for the patiens in the department of haemodialysis, to find out, what impact the care has on nurses in the department of haemodialysis and to find out whether the nurses in the department of haemodialysis suffer from the burn-out syndrome. Based on my Bachelor Diploma Work we would like to organize a seminary for the nurses, working in the department of haemodialysis, focused on the burn-out syndrome and correct relaxation.
Measure attendant stress on Neurology Department of Hospital in České Budějovice, a.s.
KAVKOVÁ, Darja
The present is a time rife with change, and healthcare is no exception. The aim is to provide the best quality healthcare at the lowest possible cost and with as few staff as possible so as to allow clients to recover quickly and ensure that they are satisfied with the services they have been provided with. České Budějovice Hospital is currently the fourth largest hospital in the Czech Republic. It provides medical care to the whole of South Bohemia. The Neurological Ward is situated in the internal pavilion of the hospital{\crq}s Upper complex. It provides 36 beds for seriously ill patients. Where patients are ill, the hospital tries to nurse them back to health as quickly as possible, while ensuring that they are self-sufficient and alleviating the after-effects of their illness. The standard of medical staff{\crq}s qualifications is rising to match the increased demands on the quality of care provided. In order to maintain standards a nurse needs not only to be skilful, but also well-educated and able to work independently. In this research I set three goals, from which there arose three hypotheses. In order to determine the workload and performance of the nurses on the Neurological Ward of České Budějovice Hospital I used two methods from the authors Karla and Otakar Pochylý. The method of quantifying nursing care to determine the number of nursing staff is based on three basic areas: assessment of the self-sufficiency of patients, a point rating for special nursing care, and daily one-off ratings which encompass all other activities. The ``new method{\crqq} is used to determine the number of nursing staff and the amount of workload. The research was carried out from 23.2.2009 to 20.3.2009, i.e. for 20 working days. The research set comprised the nurses on the morning eight-hour shift. After having assessed the results I came to the conclusion that the first two methods proved true, but the third did not, although this is disputable. In practical terms this research can be used as a general source of information about nursing workload, nurses{\crq} performance, and the number of people missing from the Neurological Ward. However, it should be followed up by more detailed long-term research which would eventually lead to modification of the staffing situation on the Neurological Ward.
Problems of treating of sicks with the compartment syndrom on crus injuries
WICHTOVÁ, Zdeňka
Compartment syndrome is a syndrome of clinical signs that arise due to the increased blood pressure within a confined space. For some time, this pressure increase is balanced by the flexibility of fascia. But when the mechanism becomes exhausted, the development of ischemia occurs and the compartment syndrome turns up. The treatment is aimed at saving the extremity and the patient. The role of a nurse is to closely observe the patient´s overall condition and clinical symptoms of the compartment syndrome, to carry out auxiliary examinations, to assist in taking the intrafascial pressure in the affected part of the body and to take part in the demanding treatment of the complication. A nurse is in a constant contact with the patient, provides him/her with education and support and notifies the doctor of all alterations in the patient´s condition. The objective of the thesis was to learn if nurses are informed enough on the causation of the compartment syndrome on the crus injury. The other objective was to find out if nurses are familiar with the specifics of the care for patients with the compartment syndrome on the crus injury. Three hypotheses were stated: H I: Nurses have knowledge of causes of the compartment syndrome on the crus injury. This hypothesis was confirmed. H II: Nurses are not able to recognize the onset of the compartment syndrome on the crus injury on due time. This hypothesis was rejected. H III: Nurses have knowledge of specifics of the nursing care in patients with the compartment syndrome on the crus injury. The research was conducted by the quantitative method. The data necessary to achieve the objectives were gathered by the questionnaire method. The research was anonymous and it was voluntary to fill in the questionnaires. The research was conducted in the České Budějovice hospital in the Orthopaedic unit and in the Department of Accident and Plastic Surgery. The findings of the research may be useful to medical staff members in practice or in workshops.
Military nurses role during nursing care of civilian inhabitants and soldiers in foreign military operations
KRATOŠKOVÁ, Tereza
We have determined three research questions: 1. Do the injured and ill civil people perceive the difference in the care provided by a man or a woman? 2. Does the health care staff respect the religion of the Kosovan people? 3. Do the injured and ill soldiers perceive the difference in the care provided by a man or a woman? To obtain the answers we used the asking metod during the interview. We chose six groups of injured and sick people who were taken care of in Kosovo. In the first group there were soldiers of the Czech army- 7 men, in the second group there were 5 women. In the third group there were men from the military health care personnel- 7 men, the fourth group included military health care staff- 5 women. In the last two groups there were local Kosovans- 5 men and 5 women. Hypothesis were established on the basis of the analysis: H1: Injured and sick civil people feel the difference between a nurse man and a nurse woman. H2: The health care personnel respects the religion of the Kosovan people. H3: Wounded and ill soldiers perceive the difference between a male nurse and a female nurse. Results of this work can be used for the preparation of the soldiers before they go on a foreign mission or as study material in the nurses training and presentations. It can help to improve the health care during the foreign missions.
