Women's Experiences of Postnatal Care in Czech Maternity Hospitals
Vernerová, Karolína ; Hasmanová Marhánková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Slepičková, Lenka (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the issue of postnatal care in maternity hospitals in the Czech Republic as it is perceived by women who went through the medicalised obstetric birth in the past year. It examines in particular women's expectations concerning the care on the postnatal ward, their experiences of various aspects of care provided, the moments women highlight and the strategies they adopt in case of possible clashes of their own "non-expert" opinions with the regime of particular maternity hospital or "authoritative knowledge" of the staff. The aim of this thesis is to present the authentic experiences of postnatal care and to implant them into broader conceptual framework, especially considering the medical discourse and possible disciplinary techniques which are implemented to strengthen the authority of medical staff and to provide the opportunity for physical and social control of women.

Nursing care for newborns with most common inborn developmental defects
KALOUSOVÁ, Michaela
The topic of the bachelor thesis is the nursing care for newborns with most common inborn developmental defects. Inborn developmental defects undoubtedly represent a significant problem of the neonatal age. Children with inborn developmental defects make up 3,5-6 % from the total number of children born and only one third of the defects is found out in the neonatal age. Inborn developmental defects vary from insignificant deviations to defects threatening life. Although the care for newborns with inborn developmental defects is conferred on specialized neonatology workplaces it is very important for all those who provide the first treatment of the newborn baby to master the basic principles of this specific nursing care and to master among others also its theoretical part. The treatment of a newborn with a an inborn developmental defect is always specific for the particular defect and it is therefore vital to secure correctly the newborn baby's needs and to avoid all risks that could be caused by unprofessional treatment. On this basis the goal of the paper was set. It is the goal of my research to find out the level of theoretical preparedness of children's nurses and midwives for care for newborns with inborn developmental defects. To determine this goal two hypotheses were set on the basis of which was prepared an anonymous questionnaire aiming at finding out the theoretical preparation of children's nurses and midwives for the care for newborns with chosen inborn developmental defects (IDD). There where 35 questions in the questionnaire. The surveyed group were children's nurses and midwives working with newborns in chosen hospitals. In total 140 questionnaires where handed out of which 59 % where handed back. The interpretation of results is based on the number of 83 respondents. The research proper was carried out in 7 hospitals in different regions of the Czech Republic. The results of the research were, according to my opinion very good. The premise of the first hypothesis was that children's nurses and midwives are well prepared for the immediate postnatal care for newborns with IDD. This premise was confirmed. Almost all questions concerning the care for newborns and theoretical knowledge were answered correctly by more than 75 % of respondents. In many questions the correct answers varied between 80-100 %. The means of correct answers is 86 %. The premise of the second hypothesis was that children's nurses are better prepared for the immediate care for newborns than midwives. The total number of correct answers of children's nurses was 1485 (50,24 %) and the total number of correct answers of the midwives was 1471 (49,76 %), which cannot be considered a significant difference. The second hypothesis is therefore not considered confirmatory. The research has shown that the level of theoretical preparedness for care for newborns with IDD is very good in both the children's nurses and the midwives. However there are always areas where the knowledge could be further promoted.
