KUBROVÁ, Lucie
The subject of this bachelor thesis is delivery plan, its formulation and testing at the Gynaecological and Obstetrical Clinic in Plzen (GPK FN Plzen). Most women presently show active interest in pregnancy and delivery. They often imagine in advance the progress of childbirth, the behaviour of the maternity hospital staff towards them and the options offered by the hospital to delivering mothers. The delivery plan will provide to this type of women the progress of delivery most convenient for them. They may note their requests and desires in it concerning the progress of childbirth, its individual parts and potential alternatives. Thus the pregnant woman gets control over its coming delivery and may think the individual delivery parts over and prepare for them. The GPK FN clinic in Plzen does not dispose with its own delivery plan to offer to mothers-to-be within its offer of services to the pregnant. That is why this bachelor thesis will represent an asset both for the Plzen clinic of gynaecology and obstetrics GPK FN and for the mothers who decide to give birth to their child here. The theoretical part of this thesis includes chapters explaining the notion of the delivery plan and its individual parts. Further chapters briefly describe the progress of childbirth and the options of care of the delivering mothers in the course of the individual sages of delivery. The purpose of the present thesis was to find out which areas of the delivery plan are considered relevant by the pregnant women who have decided to give birth to their baby at the GPK FN clinic in Plzen and which parts of the plan are considered most important by the healthcare staff working at the GPK FN clinic in Plzen. Another objective of the thesis was to formulate the optimum delivery plan meeting the demands of both the delivering mothers and the staff of the GPK FN in Plzen and to find out the response of the healthcare staff of the GPK FN Plzen and the pregnant women to the use of the formulated delivery plan in practice. The theme was processed on the basis of a combination of qualitative and quantitative research. The needed information was obtained by means of post-structured interviews with open questions and a questionnaire with open questions, yes-no questions and semi-open questions. The subjects of the qualitative research included male and female obstetricians working at the delivery ward of the GPK FN Plzen, midwives assisting deliveries at the GPK FN Plzen, pregnant women hospitalised at the Risk Pregnancy Department of the GPK FN Plzen and mothers after delivery (in their puerperium) hospitalised at the Puerperium Department of the GPK FN Plzen. The research further included private gynaecologists of the Plzen {--} city district and gynaecologists of the IVF centre, and midwives working in the advisory centres of the private gynaecological surgeries in Plzen {--} city and in the IVF centre in Plzen. On the basis of the first part of the research the following research questions were formulated: ``What areas of the delivery plan are considered relevant by the pregnant women who have decided to give birth to their baby at the GPK FN clinic in Plzen{\crqq}, ``What areas of the delivery plan are considered relevant by the staff of the GPK FN in Plzen``, ``What should the optimum delivery plan look like to be usable for deliveries at the GPK FN in Plzen``. The second part of the research included evaluation of the following hypotheses: ``Pregnant women consider important for the delivery plan to include criteria assuring progress of their childbirth according to their desires``, ``The healthcare staff of the GPK FN Plzen takes a positive approach to the formulated delivery plan``, ``Pregnant women are interested in application of the delivery plan to their childbirth at the GPK FN in Plzen``.
