BABKA, Jakub
Currently, nursing is mostly taken as a profession for women with the title generel nurse. According to the Law of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic Nr. 96/2004 Sb. Is the man who successfully completed degree course nurse, would be called a general attendant. Therefore was for processing selected work entitled Problems of general nursing in health care. In the theoretical part of it is elaborated in detail their involvement in the care of patients from past to present. Next, there are mentioned competence of general attendant in the theoretical part, nursing as an independent science and syndrome of burnout. The aim of the work was to determine patients satisfaction with general attendant, to determine which departments give priority general nurses and identify problems of general attendants. Based on it, they were established four hypotheses and one research question. H I: General attendants better handle physically demanding work than the nurses. H II: Patients give priority general attendants to general nurses in wards for male patients. H III: General attendants in urgent wards more often then in the standard wards work. H IV: Patients perceive positively general attendants in the hospital. Research question: What problems have general attendants? Investigation was carried out by means of questionnaires and interviews. Questionnaires were addressed to patients, in the wards where general attendants work, in hospital in Písek, Prachatice, České Budějovice and Český Krumlov. Interview were made with 11 general attendants working in different wards of chosen hospitals. The questionnaire showed results that the general attendants better handle physically demanding work in a hospital and he is perceived positively. It follows that the hypothesis number 1 and 4 were confirmed. Interviews with general attendants pointed out that the general nurse works on the department of emergency care more frequently that on the standard wards. This confirms our hypothesis H3. It is obvious that the biggest problem is the designation of men in the field of general nurse as a general nurse. This designation is considered degrading. Other problems include dissatisfaction with the financial rewards and administration. We can draw following conlusions and hypotheses: 1) The biggest perceived problem is a general indication of the nursing profession, 2) general attendants are dissatisfied with their financial rewards; 3) General administrative work abstains general attendants of exercise of their profession. Work should help in resolution and answer of problem of general attendants, open wider and fruitful discussion. If it is possible.
