Knowledge and skills of nurses about modern way of treating non-healing wounds in pediatric patients
Nešporová, Julie ; Nikodemová, Hana (advisor) ; Zámečníková, Kateřina (referee)
The bachelor's thesis "The knowledge and skills of nurses using modern ways to treat non- healing wounds in paediatric patients" deals with issues of difficult non-healing wounds occurring in children, their origin, their development and treatment. The goal of this thesis was to assess how much knowledge and skills nurses have in the field of professional treatment of wounds in children and its eventual measures to make an improvement of the patient's condition. The theoretical part brings an overview of reasons why wounds develop, their healing and current products that are used in the medical field for treatment. The empirical part summarizes the results of my own research and compares the results with other studies. To implement this thesis a questionnaire was made and distributed to selected wards in the Motol University Hospital. Into the study were included 71 fully completed questionnaires. After assessing the results a 100% success rate wasn't achieved by any nurse that partook in the study but it's obvious, they have certain knowledge about the matter. In conclusion, we accepted that this is a rare issue in paediatrics which needs to be researched further and correct procedures for nurses in practice need to be finalized.
Specifics of nutrition for non-healing wounds in hospitalization care
RANŠOVÁ, Radka
This BA thesis deals with specifics of nutrition for non-healing wounds in hospitalization care. Defining the terms "nutrition in hospitals" and "clinical nutrition and its most significant aspects" was the theoretical background for the empirical part of the thesis. Since clinical nutrition is a very broad field, the theoretical part was only focused on the most significant aspects which characterize the specifics of nutrition for non-healing wounds in hospitalization care. Furthermore, the theoretical part of the thesis focuses on description of skin anatomy and physiology to enable full understanding of the consequences of skin integrity damage. The scope of nutritional support also depends on the type and size of the wound, which are described in the theoretical part. The empirical part compares nutritional care of two patients with a vast devastating wound. Both case studies describe the extent and process of nutritional intervention, which can be used as a methodological plan of nutritional care. In nutritional intervention special attention is given to the education of the patient and his family members regarding the patient's nutrition. The aim of these education processes is to prove or disprove a general expert assumption about the effects of education and support of the patient's family members on the patient's treatment and cooperation.
