The mentor position within in the nursing team, and her the cooperation with the shift nurses.
MAŘÍKOVÁ, Václava
Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the position of nursing mentor and her cooperation with shift nurses. The theoretical part of the thesis is divided into seven chapters, and focuses on the current nursing profession that is also interconnected with education and legislature. The work is further dealing with the role of the nursing mentor and her cooperation with the nursing team. Last but not least, the theoretical part is devoted to the important role of ethics and morality in the nursing profession that is undoubtedly of central importance. We are also addressing the Certified Course for Mentors that we regard as rather positive as one of the forms of lifelong education. The nurses completing the course will acquire new skills and knowledge, but also knowledge in the field of psychology, law, didactics and other fields. The role of a nurse-mentor is rather important as she can pass the acquired knowledge further and positively influence the students in this way over the course of professional training facilitating their adaptation when they start their professional career. It was the main objective of this work to map the current position of a nurse? mentor, what her experience is with cooperation with other shift nurses as part of practical education in the workplace, and whether the nurses direct and sufficiently motivate the students to become interested in the profession of general nurses or midwifes. The section on research employed two methods. The first method consisted in quantitative research in the form of questionnaires. We employed two questionnaires, one targeted the nurses-non-mentors, while the second was intended for nurses-mentors. As a second method, qualitative research was carried out using semi-structured interview conducted with selected head and ward (charge) nurses. Using the qualitative survey approach, we tested the following working hypotheses. H1: the general nurses know what the role of a nurse-mentor is in the health-care team, H2: the nurses-mentors motivate their students to raise their interest in the profession of general nurse, H3: the nurses-mentors are not always occupying leading positions, H4: the nurses-mentors are perceived positively by the shift nurses,

Cooperation of psychiatric nurses with families of the mentally ill
DUGOVIČOVÁ, Ladislava
I was inspired to choose this diploma thesis by reading an article written by an anxious family member of a person suffering from a mental illness. The stigma of a mentally ill patient does not affect only the patient themselves, it also extends to psychiatrists and nursing staff who work with these people, but it also affects their families and close relatives. For them mental illness is a burden from the psychological as well as social perspective; there are changes in family roles, the emotional climate is influenced too. The theoretical part focuses on the cooperation of nurses, families and a multidisciplinary team. It also deals with the personality of the nurse in psychiatric care, psychiatric rehabilitation limitations, communication and education in psychiatry. It also deals with the family of a mentally ill person and forms of support provided to families. The objective of this thesis was to determine whether psychiatric nurses involve families of the mentally ill in nursing care. The secondary objective was to determine whether the families of the mentally ill are aware of all the possibilities of psychiatric treatment in all areas of care. These objectives have been met. A quantitative research, the techniques of a questionnaire and a standardized interview were chosen for this work. The first research set consisted of 212 nurses working in psychiatric care; the second research set consisted of 33 families. Based on the results, it was found that nurses do not have time to educate families during their shifts. The nurses encourage families to participate actively in caring for their relatives and they have no problems in communicating with the families. Furthermore, the results indicate that families do have access to information and they are satisfied with the information from healthcare professionals; families use the information provided in the care of their relatives. Six hypotheses were set to obtain the research objectives, of which 5 hypotheses have been confirmed and a hypothesis has been refuted. This work also included an educational lesson that can help non-medical professionals to orientate in education. An educational lesson on ``Appropriate behaviour of family members of the mentally ill{\crqq}, which can be used in educating families, was prepared for family members.

The attitude of nurses to hospitalized children from the point of the view of their dependets
CÍZLEROVÁ, Barbora
Lack of time, lack of staff, unwillingness of nurses, poor communication and cooperation of nurses with family members, and non-satisfaction of a child{\crq}s needs are the faults of nurses that affect their approach to the hospitalized children. These alarming facts are connected with hospitalization of children and, as a matter of course, influence the way a child feels in hospital, the way the parents look on hospitalization of their child, and the way the parents of a child regard the approach of nurses to their children during hospitalization in hospital. The objective of the thesis was to ascertain an opinion of a family member about the nurses{\crq} approach to the hospitalized children, and whether family members approve or disapprove the nurses{\crq} approach. The objective of the thesis has been attained. Three hypotheses were raised in the thesis. The first hypothesis ascertained whether a family member hospitalized with a child is more satisfied with the nurses{\crq} approach than a family member not hospitalized with a child. This was the sole hypothesis that has not been confirmed. The second hypothesis was to confirm that family members were informed about the nursing care of the hospitalized child. This hypothesis has been confirmed and revealed that despite occurrence of communication and awareness faults the parents often show initiative so they have the information they want to know and they need. The third hypothesis was to verify whether family members of a child were satisfied with the nurses{\crq} approach to the hospitalized child. The last hypothesis has also been confirmed. The data for the research were collected by means of a quantitative research. Family members were provided with anonymous questionnaires. The research set were family members of children hospitalized in hospitals Nemocnice České Budějovice, a.s., Nemocnice Tábor, a.s. and in one of the hospitals in the capital city of Prague in the period from February to March 2010. This bachelor thesis could make nurses think and try to remedy the faults occurring in their approach to the hospitalized children. Together with the questionnaire focused on satisfaction with the nursing care, used by individual child wards for feedback purposes, the thesis may be used to identify deficiencies and faults and to facilitate their remedy.

Cooperation students ZSF with members Screws League like double - sided contribution.
SVATOŠOVÁ, Iveta
The theoretical part of this bachelor thesis is divided into five chapters: Rheuma League (RL), Most Common Rheumatic Disorders in RL members, Investigational Methods in Rheumatology, Comprehensive Therapy of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and Education as Part of the Cooperation. Three objectives have been formulated. Objective 1: to map the cooperation of ZSF undergraduates as part of their academic training with RL members. Objective 2: to map the benefit of the cooperation as part of academic training for ZSF undergraduates and RL members. Objective 3: to point out further potentialities of cooperation between ZSF undergraduates and RL members. This work was conducted in the form of a qualitative investigation (survey) and framed 4 research questions: 1. What are the methods of cooperation between ZSF undergraduates and RL members as part of academic training? 2. What is the contribution of the cooperation with RL members as part of academic training for a ZSF undergraduate? 3. What is the perception by RL members of their participation in the academic training? 4. What further potentialities does the cooperation of undergraduates of ZSF with RL members have? The research (survey) was implemented using the polling method, the technique of non-standardized interviews. The interviews were conducted with ZSF undergraduates and selected Rheuma League members in České Budějovice. Based on the analysis of responses given by the undergraduates and RL members answers to the 4 research questions were obtained. Answer to question 1: The cooperation of undergraduates with RL members consists in the participation of RL members in tuition classes, examination of diseased joints by the students, in discussions on health problems, compensation aids, findings obtained in the investigated patients related to their disease. Answer to question 2: For a ZSF undergraduate, the cooperation with a RL member results in enrichment of her or his knowledge, passing on experience, verification of the undergraduate's practical knowledge obtained so far on the locomotion apparatus, obtaining feedback and realization of the patients' needs. Answer to question 3: RL members perceive their participation in the academic training process as obtaining new information and mental (emotional) support. Answer to question 4: Potential fields of future cooperation of the undergraduates with Rheuma League members include the cooperation as part of the academic training process in various fields of study, but also cooperation with students in other fields of study, more intense personal encounters, and field trips. The results of the survey show that it would be beneficial to organize the so-called Rheuma Days for patients with rheumatism, health care workers and lay public, and to open a new education center for patients with rheumatism patronized by ZSF JU.

Air Rescue Service and its coordination with the ground based rescue personnel
NOVOTNÁ, Pavla
The Air Rescue Service is now an integral part of the Emergency Medical Service in the Czech Republic. At present the number of primary interventions in which the two components have to cooperate has been increasing. As most cases are serious, life-threatening events, it is crucial for the two components to create a collaborative unit. Therefore it is necessary to ensure an excellent level of communication and cooperation between them. This can be achieved only if both partners know, employ and respect certain rules of the partner´s cooperation. In the theoretical part the thesis deals with history and activities of the Air Rescue Service and its cooperation with the ground based component. The objective of my thesis was to survey and evaluate the level of communication and cooperation between the Air Rescue Service crews, the ground based components of the Emergency Medical Service and the Emergency Command Centre. Quantitative research was conducted through the use of questionnaires. The questionnaires were distributed to selected Emergency Medical Service and Air Rescue Service centers in the South Bohemian region and the Vysočina region. The questionnaires were addressed only to paramedics. The outcomes of the research prove that paramedics consider the communication level and the level of cooperation between the ground based components, the Air Rescue Service and the Emergency Command Centre to be adequate. It was also found that if an error occurs in communication, in the majority of cases human failure is responsible. I hope the findings of my thesis can help paramedics get an overview of this topic, or supplement their knowledge of this issue

Issues associated with hospitalization of children with parents staying with them
ŽÁKOVÁ, Lucie
I chose the topic of my thesis-the problems of child´s hospitalization with parents at children´s ward, because ill children and in hospital should not stay alone. The care should be focused on their psychic and also on their parents who are afraid and worried about their child. In the theoretical part of my work the branch paediatrics is mentioned first, followed partly by history of children medicine and nursing. Contemporary system of children´s care is described and developmental periods of children are mentioned in short. Then concepts like health, illness, coping with illness in different age periods continue. Further chapters are devoted to the family of ill child, preparation for hospitalization and nursing process in child at the ward. Practical part is focused on parent´s and nurses´ opinion on the problems, their opinions whether they prefer hospitalization together with parent or just short-time visits of a child who is hospitalized. The data were investigated with the help of two kinds of questionnaires. The first one was established for nurses working at the ward, the other one was for parents or company of hospitalized children. It was found out that Hypothesis I:{\crqq}Parents prefer hospitalization with the child{\crqq} was confirmed. But Hypothesis II:``Nurses prefer in child´s hospitalization just short visits of parents{\crqq} was not confirmed because nurses prefer common hospitalization of parents and their children to short-time visits. The results of this thesis can be used both by children stations and other people who are interested in the problems.

The conditions for formation and development of clusters in the food-processing industry in the South Bohemian region
ŘEZÁČOVÁ, Eva
Apart from definitions of clusters from various sources, the composition and practical functioning of a cluster had to be evaluated. Each cluster is composed of four basic elements first, a core of the cluster containing highly specialised geographically close companies operating in the given branch of industry, second, supporting businesses, i.e. specialists in their branch with links to the core of the cluster (such as banks, accountants, lawyers, forwarders, growers, etc,), third, the so-called soft infrastructure formed usually by public organisations such as universities, research institutions, parks, branch education, etc., and fourth, the technical infrastructure covering specialised establishments integrated into the cluster, state and private infrastucture. One of the answers to the question why clusters should be promoted is a list of advantages of a businness´s membership in a cluster. The advantages include access to information, a high level of communication between the members, cooperation, education and training opportunities, accessibility of consultancy, joint marketing, enhanced productivity, innovation and consequently, better competitiveness. In view of the aforesaid, benefits that might arise from the membership of universities and public institutions in clusters were analysed. The production of food products and drinks is a branch that is connected with agriculture. The following branches are the most significant from nine production branches, they recover almost 2/3 of production in the Czech republik (according to revenue): - Production of other food products {--} baker´s products and pastry, sugar, candy and others - Production of meat and meat products, inluding poultry - Production of drinks In surroundings of South-bohemia locality the structure of the significance in branches is different. These branches have a high part on economic activities in this branch: - Working and packing of fish and fish products - Milk production, production of milk products and ice cream - Production of feedstuffs Analyses shown were made from data obtained from the Czech Statistical Office and CzechInvest. Localization coefficient that is 1,426 is higher than 1 which means that the unemployment in food branch in the locality is higher than the average unemployment in the same branch in the Czech republic. This branch is significant for this locality and it is necessary to attend this and to envolve this.
