Methodology: For processing the research part of the diploma thesis, a quantitative research construct and interviewing methods were used, techniques of data collecting by a form of half-structured interviews. Nurses employed at the surgery department participated in the research construct. Furthermore, there were patients included hospitalised at the surgery department at least two days and members of families who take care of the patient. All the interviews were evaluated by open coding through a method pencil-paper; the results processed by this method were categorised. To this part also an analysis of nursing documents of a given patient belongs. The nursing documents were analysed by means of secondary data analysis. Results: The role of a nurse is based on identification and following saturation of needs. During an evaluation of meeting needs, all the patients agreed with an overall positive evaluation. However, according to the nurses, these have not enough time for saturation the needs. A family participates mostly in psychological support, financial support, household functioning, necessary items delivery and following care in the care of a relative. It emerged during an analysis of nursing documents that the nurses did not re-evaluated patients´physical condition during a change of his/her health condition. Conclusion: To a complex evaluation and recording of the needs of patients in nursing documents a higher number of nurses in health institutions can contribute as well as introducing training courses and seminars focused on this topic.

Child adaptation in an international school
Králová, Adéla ; Burešová, Karolína (advisor) ; Kasíková, Hana (referee)
The goal of this work is to map an adaptation process, which children have to go through when coming to a foreign school in terms of different instructional language, curriculum and particularly sociocultural enviroment. The work is focused on a group of factors which influence the adaptation, e.g. child age, family role, community role, cultural differencies and support techniques used by schools to make the transition process for children smoother. The work also describes the cases when children have to face the adaptation process multiple times because of repeated moving to new countries and therefore repeated school changing. This trend is caused by migration and globalization and and is connected especially with international schools, which consider the successful adaptation process of its students as a key assumption for students' future success. The work also shows situation of bilingual children in terms of adaptation to a new school enviroment and specific problems of children who have never lived in their own culture or culture of their parents ("Third Culture Kid Theory"). One part of this work is a research held in American International School of Budapest which consists of 3 case studies of foreign students.
