Specifics Nursing care of patients on chronic resuscitation drive
PETROUOVÁ, Tereza
The Bachelor paper subject: Specific aspects of care given to chronic patients of Resuscitation Unit. The Ward of Chronic & Intensive Care is a specialized unit providing quality care to patients long-term dependent on the breathing apparatus. Formulated for the paper were three objectives: (1) to explore special aspects of nursing care delivered to patients long-term treated in the Resuscitation Unit. With the results reviewed, the nurses were found to provide comprehensive well-aimed care to the patients as regards the aspects of hygiene, nutrition and excretion. Great emphasis was placed on communication with clients, their families and other close relatives. A proper method of such communication was chosen in consideration of individual features of each person and his or her communication capabilities. The entire medical team applied the concept of basal stimulation. Consequently, the first objective was met. (2) to map the difficulties encountered while providing care in the Unit. Most of the nurses found their work mentally exhausting. The second objective was achieved, too. (3) to examine demands imposed on nurses staffing the Unit. The nurses had to be responsible; properly educated; familiar with different elements of the basal stimulation; and capable of taking independent decisions, showing empathy, utilizing communication skills, and cooperating not only with the other staff members but, first and foremost, with the families and relatives of the clients. The third objective was thus accomplished.
