SRBOVÁ, Klára
Current situation: Suicide is one of the main problems in the public health field. This thesis focuses on the role of a nurse in the care of suicidal patients. The theoretical framework concentrates on the origination of this particular situation, the risk factors, how to prevent suicidal behaviors, how the nurse manages this conduct and monitors the state of the patient, how to create a safe environment and how to intervene in a crisis situation. Objectives of the thesis: First, to study the different responsibilities of the nurse in the duty of care of suicidal inpatients in the psychiatric wing under maximum safety. Second, to explore the diverse security restrictions used during the treatment of this type of patients. Methodology: The research is based on a survey of eighteen questions in which all the participants had the opportunity to answer to open questions. These eighteen questions are also divided into eight categories and, at the same time, these eight are classified into different subcategories. Analysis of the collected data was processed using the pencil-paper method, the so called coding. Research group: Thirteen nurses selected from the psychiatric wing under maximum safety. Results of the thesis: From this investigation could be assumed that the role of a nurse in the care of suicidal patients is a crucial factor. The medical treatment is not enough, but it is important to include the family circle. The conditions are not always optimum. Recommendations include focusing on the development of education and awareness, also medical management so that nurses can devote time to the patient with these problems, and a technical equipment such as a surveillance system, which is not always available for every medical center. Practical use: The present final thesis could be used as a case of study for nurses and nursing students. The results could be published in scientific magazines and conferences.

This bachelor thesis on the topic: ''The suicidal patient from the point of view of a paramedic'' consists of two parts: first part is theoretical, the second part presents conducted research. The content of the theoretical part is an introduction to suicidal issues, namely the characteristics of suicide, an introduction to history and possible causes of suicidal behavior with a special focus on depression or schizophrenia, possible symptoms of suicidal behavior, suicide stages and types of execution, distribution of suicide by age, communication with a suicide patient and the work of medical rescue service at the scene of a suicidal patient's event. For the research section several aims were set. The first aim is to map what knowledge rescuers have on the suicide issues of their patients. Based on this aim, two research question is formulated as follows: ''How are suicide issues perceived and managed by rescuers in the pre-hospital emergency care?'' Second research question asks: ''What specifities does rerequire solving suicide issues druing pre-hospital emergency care provided by rescuers?'' In other to obtain the necessary data, a method of qualitative research was selected and conducted, consisting of semi-structured interviews with eight medical rescuers, of which four were professionally active at the South Bohemian Health Rescue Service, namely from the regional centres of České Budějovice, Jindřichův Hradec, Písek and four other medical rescuers professionally operating in the Vysočina region, specifically from Humpolec and Pelhřimov. Respondents answered a total of 20 questions, which were then divided into 10 categories. Research has confirmed existence of basic education standard about the problem of suicide, and that it is sufficient for proper conduct of the profession of medical rescue. However, there are some shortcomings in the education of rescuers who deals with a suicidal patient. As this is a very important knowledge gap, I consider it necessary to supplement education about the care of suicide patient.
