The role of the nurse in the system of early search for critical ill patients
BOUŠOVÁ, Adéla
The diploma thesis is focused on the role of nurses in the system of early search for critically ill patients in intensive care units. The Czech healthcare system still does not place the emphasis on the system of early search for the critically ill as it should. Knowledge of the issue can improve the quality of health care and reduce the mortality of critically ill patients who suddenly enter a life-threatening condition, but with knowledge of the issue, a life-threatening condition could have been prevented. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis consists of five chapters and several subchapters. The first chapter focuses on the critically ill, the second chapter on the monitoring of the critically ill, the third chapter on technical equipment in intensive care, the fourth chapter on the role of nurses in intensive care and the last chapter deals with the system of early search for critically ill patients. Three goals were set for the diploma thesis, namely to map the roles of nurses, how nurses are involved and whether they are educated in the issue of early search for critically ill patients. The practical part was processed by a qualitative survey in the form of semi-structured interviews, which were analyzed in the form of "paper pencil" by the method of open coding. The practical part was divided into four categories and then into subcategories. For clarity and clarity, the categories and subcategories have been visualized in diagrams. Based on the set goals of the diploma thesis, three research questions were set. The first research question dealt with the roles represented by nurses in the system of early search for critically ill patients. The second research question was how nurses are involved in the system of early search for critically ill patients. The third research question deals with the way of lifelong education of nurses in the system of early search for critically ill patients. The set goals of the diploma thesis were met.
