Taking Care of Prostatectomy Patients Making Use of the Callisty Roy Nursing Programme
KRAMÁŘOVÁ, Iva
This diploma thesis deals with nursing care for prostatectomy patients using Callista Roy´s nursing programme. The situation, after prostate surgery, is a new life experience for men, that takes adaptation. Callista Roy, the author of Adaptation Model, was dealing with patient adaptation. The diploma thesis has set three aims. The first aim was to find out what interventions are used by nurses to support patient adaptation after prostatectomy in individual Callista Roy´s adaptation models. The second aim was to find out what stimuli nurses observe while providing prostatetomy patients with nursing care, and the third aim was to find out what problems prostatectomy patients face in individual adaptation modes. Three research questions were determined for these three aims. The diploma thesis contains two research files. The first research file are Urological Intensive Care Unit nurses and the other one are patients hospitalized at the Urological Standard Unit. Data was collected using qualitative research, methodology of questionnaires, interviewing technnique in prostatectomy patients at a hospital facility and nurses taking care of these patients. The survey is made complete by participant observation. The survey was carried out in February and March 2023. Nurse interview results have proven that nurses apply elements of the adaptation physiological mode when providing prostatectomy patients with nursing care. Patient interview results have proven they do not observe any problem in adapting to hospital environment nor in adapting to the state after having their prostate removed. The patient interview results have implicitly proven that they downplay the problems, and they would appreciate some help supporting their adaptation. The results of this diploma thesis may serve as a study material for healthcare field students. The diploma thesis may serve as inspiration for nurses supporting patient adaptation to carried-out prostatectomy.

The possibilities of application of the Roy and Neuman model in clinical practice in the 50+ generation.
HEJNOVÁ, Iveta
The 50+ generation has become an age group that is aging according to the statistical data and the number of individuals in this age category is rising. The aging process is accompanied by numerous physical, mental and social changes. As a consequence of these processes new and modified needs occur in these individuals, to which the provided care has to be adapted. We have linked this issue with conceptual models in nursing. This is because a conceptual model will help us integrate patient information into coherent and comprehensible blocks. An important goal of conceptual models is to simplify the work of nurses, who can see a patient as a whole thanks to them. We chose two models in relation to this issue, namely Calista Roy's model and Betty Neuman's model. We chose two research goals on the basis of the topic of the thesis. The first one was to map the knowledge of selected conceptual models among nurses. And the second goal was to find out the specifics of the nursing care in the 50+ group with the application of selected conceptual models from the point of view of nurses. We applied both, qualitative and quantitative methods to the research. Within the quantitative research we used a non-standardized questionnaire. In the qualitative part we applied the focus group method. Three hypotheses and one research question were set in relation to the research. We are able to confirm two of the three hypotheses. The statistical results have shown that the knowledge of the open-systems model and the adaptation model corresponds with the education of the respondents. Respondents with tertiary education show better knowledge of these models. On the other hand, no relation in taking the specifics in the satisfaction of the needs into account in the provision of nursing care in the 50+ generation was confirmed. A procedure for collection of the nursing anamnesis in the 50+ generation was created on the basis of the research. On the basis of this procedure we can enable healthcare staff to classify the patient information into logical systems and therefore to obtain a quality and comprehensive view of a patient. After the completion of the qualitative research we evaluated the proposals of our respondents for the theoretical as well as the practical part of the anamnesis collection. These respondents showed knowledge of the models. They most often criticized bad intelligibility or even redundancy of a question. Among benefits they named simplicity, reasonability and quality evaluation of the nursing care.

The Nurse from a Philosophical Perspective Based Upon the Authors of Selected Nursing Conceptual Models.
KÁPLOVÁ, Hana
This thesis deals with the theme of "The Nurse From a Philosophical Perspective of the Authors of Selected Nursing Conceptual Models". Nursing models contribute to the development of nursing as a separate scientific discipline. Their main contribution is the enrichment of the theoretical part, as well as the help with improving nursing practice in specific situations. In practice, nurses facilitate the planning of nursing care, understanding the problems and they also provide the initial criteria for evaluating the results that have been achieved. The aim of the thesis is to map the knowledge of selected conceptual models among nurses and to learn how they identify themselves with the major issues of the selected conceptual models. To achieve this, the method of quantitative research was chosen, in which three hypotheses there were created. Data collection was conducted by using questionnaires. With the first hypothesis, I wanted to acknowledge is the fact that those nurses with the university degree of education are familiar with the contents of following conceptual models: F. Nightingale, C. Roy and M. Gordon. Furthermore, I looked into the verification of the second hypothesis, which is: nurses with training other than a university degree of education are unaware of the contents of the listed conceptual models: F. Nightingale, C. Roy, J. M. Watson and M. Gordon. The third hypothesis is whether the nurses perceive the provision of nursing as an affectionate and self-sacrificing activity. The results of this research are processed through the use of graphs and tables. The results have indicated that there is a wide base of nursing and its interrelationship with the practice. To the main research results are part the knowledge of nurses of the selected conceptual models and their identification with the major components of above-mentioned conceptual models. Benefits of this work lie in the possibility of the utilization of the discovered knowledge for learning purposes, but it also indicates the possibility of the implementation this knowledge during the fulfillment of nursing interventions in the care of the patient.
