Selected nursing services in the context of Evidence Based Nursing
KRATOCHVÍLOVÁ, Gabriela
The thesis deals with the issue of selected nursing processes in the context of Evidence Based Nursing. The process in question is the care of central venous entry and peripherally placed central entry in relation to the incidence and prevention of central line associated infections. One of the aims of this paper is to map and analyse information on central line entry care. Other objectives are to determine which central line entry care is most effective in relation to infection incidence and to provide an overview of the interventions provided in central line care that are absolutely necessary and essential. The thesis is divided into several chapters which are structured around Evidence Based Nursing. The chapter describing the current state of the art outlines Evidence Based Nursing, invasive admissions and catheter infection. Chapters dealing with the education of general nurses in relation to central line nursing competency are presented, the area of infection and its prevention, the site and method of central line insertion, the type and characteristics of the central line catheter, dressing and draping techniques, disinfection, and the issue of flushing and needleless entry are discussed. The last chapter reviews education, care training and training in the care of central venous accesses. The information sources were searched from all over the Word in scientific databases. Several recommendations for practice have been established based on the development of this thesis. The thesis can be used as educational material and be an inspiration in the issues of different practices and education in this field.
The place of research and Evidence Based Practice in nursing.
HRSTKOVÁ, Pavla
Nursing is a permanently developing field of activity. Research plays an irreplaceable role in this field. We moreover more and more often see the term Evidence Based Practice nowadays. However a lot of general nurses do not know that this term also relates to the field of nursing, where it is called Evidence Based Nursing. Quantitative research was chosen for this thesis. The research was performed in South Bohemian and Central Bohemian regions among general nurses with bachelor degree. The aim of the questionnaire research was to confirm or refute the hypotheses set for this thesis. The first goal of the thesis was to find out whether general nurses with bachelor degree were willing to participate in research in nursing. The second goal was to find out whether general nurses with bachelor degree had come across the term Evidence Based Practice. The third goal was focused on finding whether general nurses with bachelor degree knew the names of databases that might be used in planning nursing care based on evidence. The fourth goal was to find out whether general nurses with bachelor degree were willing to participate on application of research results to nursing practice. The fifth goal was to find out whether general nurses with bachelor degree had met with application of research results to nursing practice. The goals of the thesis have been met. Five hypotheses were set for achievement of the above goals. H1: General nurses with bachelor degree are willing to participate in research in nursing. H2: General nurses with bachelor degree are able to define the term Evidence Based Practice. H3: General nurses with bachelor degree know the names of databases they may use in planning nursing care based on evidence. H4: General nurses with bachelor degree are willing to participate in introduction and application of research results to nursing practice. H5: General nurses with bachelor degree meet application of research results to nursing practice. The first, second and fourth hypotheses were confirmed, the third and fifth ones were not confirmed. Although the issues of Evidence Based Practice appear more and more often in literature, and we might expect nurses with tertiary education to apply the practice based on evidence in nursing, there are still general nurses who have lack of information in this sphere. Nevertheless there are a lot of general nurses with tertiary education who would like to participate in research and application of the research results to nursing practice. A proposal for a whole-life educational course focused on application of Evidence Based Practice to nursing was elaborated upon the research results. The results may also be used in hospital seminars and in education of nursing students.
