History and development of intensive care
KADLECOVÁ, Eva
The thesis deals with the history and development of intensive care with emphasis on the Czech lands. Its aim is to describe the historical development of intensive care and nursing in the Czech lands with an emphasis on aspects (such as new techniques, devices, etc.) that have determined this process. The core of the thesis consists of three main chapters. The first one establishes the basic premises of the work, focusing on the definition of intensive care, the history of medicine, and nursing. The second main chapter analyzes the beginnings of intensive care in an international context, emphasizing the influence of Florence Nightingale on the emergence of intensive care and the reflection of her work in the Czech lands. The third chapter describes the history and development of intensive care and nursing in the Czech lands, with this exposition being divided into chronologically arranged subchapters. The thesis is primarily based on historical sources (primarily contemporary publications and journal articles reflecting the discourse of the time) and professional literature. The communist Czechoslovakia period is reflected as an important period when contact between Czechoslovak medicine and Western knowledge was significantly limited, and intensive care as well as nursing were heavily ideologically conditioned, leading to lagging behind the West in many aspects.

Florence Nightingale versus nurse 21st century
SKOPCOVÁ, Tereza
The bachelor thesis called Florence Nightingale versus a nurse of the 21st century is worked out mainly on a theoretical level. It has an informational character which goal is understandable and logical interpretation of Florence Nightingale and a nurse of the 21st century. We did not focus only on the most important character of the nursing in history but also on the development of the profession of a nurse from the medieval up to presence, status of women in society in chosen periods and on modification of moral values and assumptions which differ nurses through the centuries. To gain all the information, it was needed to study Czech and foreign reference literature. I have worked with technical magazines, for example a universal magazine Kontakt, the magazine Nurse and the magazine Florence. While I was writing the thesis I also used the information gained through reference foreign databases PubMed, Scopus and EBSCO. This bachelor thesis should clarify the phenomenon of the development of the nurse profession. It should be understandable for general public and should create a real view on nurses in the history and in the new millennium. It is also dedicated to future nurses not only to realize the historical milestones of nursing but as a teaching aid for the subject: The nursing theory. Every educated nurse should orientate in history of the nursing profession to appreciate the effort of all known and unknown characters of the nursing history. The thesis provides the general overview about the development of the nursing profession during the last thousand years. We tried to show that the development, especially the development of the nursing profession, was determined mainly by the status of women in the society and moral values of the given society.

Nursing practices internal medicine in context with the development.
POSPÍŠILOVÁ, Eva
Nursing methods are understood as a collection of knowledge and instructions about how to perform nursing in order to achieve the most effective nursing care. It's not a set of fixed rules. Their development relies on the development of medicine and technology. They are in accordance with medicinal and technological knowledge. The goal of this thesis is to map the development of certain nursing methods in internal departments from the second half of the 19th century to the present day. It has been a qualitative research carried out by studying and analyzing written documents. This thesis was based on searching, sorting and consequent processing of historical archived publications and contemporary professional sources related to this topic. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the history of nursing. It contains a brief description of the beginning of nursing along with the factors which have influenced nursing. Foundations of modern nursing have formed thanks to Florence Nightingale, who also influenced the development of nursing in the Czech lands. The history of Czech nursing is mostly concentrated around the period of the world wars. The second part is dedicated to specific nursing activities concerning healthy living spaces, rooms for patients, patients? beds and their modifications, care of patients? hygiene and monitoring the vital functions. The timeframe begins at the first half of the 19th century due to the establishment of real nursing professions at that time. Individual stages are ten years long. They indicate complex development of specific nursing methods from their beginnings to the present day. Mapping the historical development of certain nursing methods can contribute to the modern nurse's work. Past knowledge can help them to avoid mistakes and use of outdated methods. My thesis may also lead to a reflection of current methods, which may be replaced by more advanced ones.

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.
