ŠEDIVCOVÁ, Daniela
The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis is devoted to multicultural nursing, Roma ethnics, Romany history, Romany family, lifestyle and communication with patient from minority community. There are also topics such as pregnancy and childbirth, dying and death and, last but not least, Romany attitude towards health and disease. The practical part of the bachelor thesis is focused on Romany patients who have been hospitalized in various departments in the hospital and nurses from inpatient wards who provide nursing care during their hospitalization. For the research part of this bachelor thesis, a method of qualitative research was used, using semi-structured interviews with patients from minor community and also with nurses from the hospital. The aim of the thesis was to find out what are the specifics of nursing care for a Romany patient. One of the most important specifics of nursing care for a Romany patient is repeated education on ongoing treatment and nursing care and the need to place great emphasis on intelligible information during hospitalization. Another aim was to map out the most common problems encountered by Romany during hospitalization in the hospital, such as the feeling of limited freedom, separation from family and disturbed privacy. The third objective was to map out the problems encountered by nurses in nursing care of a Romany patient. Among the main problems mentioned, the nurses have encountered difficulties in adhering to the set rules of hospital facilities and insufficient or limited cooperation and communication with these patients. The obtained answers from the interviews of the interviewed nurses and Romany patients were classified into individual categories and subcategories. This bachelor thesis could raise awareness of this issue among healthcare professionals and improve the quality of nursing care for Romany patients during their hospitalization. The data and information obtained were summarized and processed in the information leaflet for nurses who treat patients from minor community.
