SŮVOVÁ, Nikola
This bachelor thesis deals with the visiting field service as part of the work of a nurse in an adult general practitioner's office. The visiting field service is relevant for elderly patients, patients with chronic diseases, disabled patients or patients in recovery. It carries with it a host of benefits, keeping the family together, keeping the patient in a home-like environment, providing infusion therapy, and performing wound dressings. The visiting field service provided by a nurse from an adult general practitioner's office is quicker than home care, the nurse communicates directly with the physician who assigns the appointments. The aim of this thesis is to determine the awareness of patients from adult general practitioners' offices of the possibility of using a visiting field service by a nurse in the home setting. And to find out the benefits of a visiting nurse outreach service and the perceptions of patients from adult general practitioners' offices. In this bachelor thesis, quantitative research is used, interview method is used and self-administered questionnaire is used as a technique. The research findings show that there is little awareness of the visiting outreach service. However, patients who have used the visiting field service evaluate it positively and perceive it as beneficial to their health condition. The practical output of this thesis is an information leaflet to raise patient awareness of the outreach service and to encourage patients to enquire about the service with their general practitioner.
