PAVLÍČKOVÁ, Eva
The aim of this work is to investigate the task of a hospital nurse in providing a nursing care by sick persons. The work comprises a theoretical as well as a research part. The theoretical part is concerned with data on the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, on its epidemiology, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, clinical symptoms, diagnostics, sectioning the stages of the disease, treatment and an educational programme for COPD patients. Further, we have focused on the roles of hospital nurses and their education. From the psychological point of view, the role of a hospital nurse represents the position of an individual in certain social system. Said role is characterized above all by the characteristics as the emotional neutrality, the ability to provide a patient the feeling of security and the appreciation of his problems. The term education embraces a process of training and education. The health education represents a process of training and education, the aim of which is the health. The education is a lifelong process which develops the personality by virtue of formal authorities, informal ambient and professionals. It represents a continuous system process. The education conduces to the acquirement of new items of information, the improvement of proficiency. In the bachelor work quantitative and qualitative methods of the data collection through the use of an interrogation technique by question forms presented to hospital nurses working with COPD patients, as well as the qualitative interrogation data collection technique by means of a semistructured discussion were used. The research interrogations were carried out in the Hospital Písek, AG and in the Hospital České Budějovice, AG. The quantitative research interrogations were carried out in the Hospital Písek, AG and in the Hospital České Budějovice, AG. In the interrogations participated 100 hospital nurses working in the standard internal medical departments and the pneumology department. For the qualitative research interrogation 5 COPD patients were selected. The discussions were conducted in the pneumology department. In the bachelor work one aim was determined. The aim of the work was to investigate the task of a hospital nurse in providing a nursing care by COPD patients. In the work 2 hypothesis were determined. 1. The most common role of the hospital nurse is the provider of a nursing care. 2. The role of an educator nurse is more frequent than the role of an advocate nurse. Both hypothesis were confirmed. Further, 2 research questions were determined. What is the most common role of a hospital nurse by COPD patients? Has the role of an educator a practical efficiency by the COPD patients? The both research questions were answered. The aim of the bachelor work was thus accomplished. The bachelor work could be used by seminars in pneumology departments or internal medical departments. The work can also serve as the efficiency assessment of activities practised by the COPD patients and for the remedy of their imperfections.
