Work determinants of nurses in homes for the elderly people.
KUBALOVÁ, Daniela
The bachelor's thesis is devoted to the issue of the determinants of the work of nurses in homes for the elderly. Determinants are factors that affect the mental and physical burden of nurses when caring for the elderly in a residential facility. A home for the elderly is a residential facility intended for seniors with reduced self-sufficiency. Here, seniors require regular help from another person to provide for their needs. The nurse is an indispensable part of the medical team that cares for the elderly in these facilities. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to map the most frequent determinants of the work of nurses in homes for the elderly. The practical part was processed using a qualitative research survey. The research sample consisted of 10 general nurses working in a given home for the elderly in a standard ward and a ward with a special regime. Data for the work were obtained using semi-structured interviews. The results of the research showed that the interviewed nurses are influenced by a whole range of determinants, where some determinants have a negative and some positive effect. Nurses consider the work team, motivation and work environment to be the determinants that influence them the most. A positive finding was that the work in the home fulfills the nurses, and the care of the elderly is satisfying. Nurses perceive frequent overwork of the staff as a negative. These findings can be used by the management of individual facilities to sufficiently motivate existing general nurses.
