Lifelong learning from the perspective of Czech nurses
MERTLÍKOVÁ, Renáta
Introduction: This bachelor's thesis focuses on the topic of lifelong learning from the perspective of Czech nurses. The theoretical part deals with the history of education, lifelong learning in the Czech Republic and abroad, motivation and barriers to the lifelong learning of nurses. Lifelong learning of nurses is one of the essential parts of nurses' general education, as there is a constant change in health care and nurses need to renew and consolidate their knowledge. In addition, the, lifelong learning of nurses is mandatory by law in the Czech Republic. Aim: The work aimed to find out what motivates Czech nurses the most for lifelong learning, whether the knowledge gained in the framework of lifelong learning is reflected in nursing practice, what factors limit nurses' lifelong learning and which forms of lifelong learning Czech nurses prefer. Methodology: A quantitative survey method was used for this work. The data were obtained using our semi-structured questionnaire distributed among 80 nurses at the Prachatice Hospital. However, the return was only 49 questionnaires. Results: Nurses are most motivated to lifelong learning by gaining new knowledge they can use in nursing practice (71.5 %). We also found that nurses' knowledge gained in lifelong learning is reflected in nursing practice (67.4 %). Regarding the factors that limit nurses' participation in lifelong learning, most nurses reported it as time-consuming (44.9 %). Lastly, we found that nurses do not prefer one single form of lifelong learning but more of them. These are professional seminars, specialization education, innovative and certified courses, training events and conferences. Conclusion: The benefit of this bachelor's thesis can be the inspiration and motivation of nurses for lifelong learning. Furthermore, the results can serve the health care employers to increase the motivation of nurses for further education or remove the barriers that stand in their way to further education.

Babilonová, Zuzana ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Beroušek, Petr (referee)
The thesis is focused on the professional migration of Czech nurses to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In the beginning I characterize migration theories that together with other chapters about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, healthcare systems of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Czech Republic create basis for the research that is presented in chapter 5. Objectives of the research, which is the crucial part of the thesis, are to reveal motivations of the Czech nurses that lead to migration to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, their imaginations and expectations bounded with work and life in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Also I would like to find out if the expectations were met and if they want to work and live in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on a longterm basis. Based on the results of the research, I conclude that Czech nurses do not want to stay in such country on a longterm basis especially due to big cultural differences between Saudi Arabian and Czech culture. At the end of the thesis I briefly characterize intercultural training that could help Czech nurses with their adaptation to Saudi Arabian culture.
