European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel or the European Advisory Board on issues of bedsores (EPUAP) leads and supports all European countries in their efforts to prevent and treat pressure sores. EPUAP working group has developed guidelines for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers. One of the important factors in providing the highest quality of nursing care is the ability of nurses to practically use the research results in the nursing process. This thesis deals with the effective use of the latest advances in the prevention of pressure sores and their treatment in the intensive care in Czech Republic. The main objective of this thesis is to explore the latest methods of prevention of pressure sores and care, according to Evidence-based practice principles EPUAP and analyze their practical implementation in selected intensive care wards. Quantitative research was conducted through an anonymous questionnaire in the population of nurses working in intensive care. The results of the research show that nurses working in intensive care, implement...

The place of research and Evidence Based Practice in nursing.
HRSTKOVÁ, Pavla
Nursing is a permanently developing field of activity. Research plays an irreplaceable role in this field. We moreover more and more often see the term Evidence Based Practice nowadays. However a lot of general nurses do not know that this term also relates to the field of nursing, where it is called Evidence Based Nursing. Quantitative research was chosen for this thesis. The research was performed in South Bohemian and Central Bohemian regions among general nurses with bachelor degree. The aim of the questionnaire research was to confirm or refute the hypotheses set for this thesis. The first goal of the thesis was to find out whether general nurses with bachelor degree were willing to participate in research in nursing. The second goal was to find out whether general nurses with bachelor degree had come across the term Evidence Based Practice. The third goal was focused on finding whether general nurses with bachelor degree knew the names of databases that might be used in planning nursing care based on evidence. The fourth goal was to find out whether general nurses with bachelor degree were willing to participate on application of research results to nursing practice. The fifth goal was to find out whether general nurses with bachelor degree had met with application of research results to nursing practice. The goals of the thesis have been met. Five hypotheses were set for achievement of the above goals. H1: General nurses with bachelor degree are willing to participate in research in nursing. H2: General nurses with bachelor degree are able to define the term Evidence Based Practice. H3: General nurses with bachelor degree know the names of databases they may use in planning nursing care based on evidence. H4: General nurses with bachelor degree are willing to participate in introduction and application of research results to nursing practice. H5: General nurses with bachelor degree meet application of research results to nursing practice. The first, second and fourth hypotheses were confirmed, the third and fifth ones were not confirmed. Although the issues of Evidence Based Practice appear more and more often in literature, and we might expect nurses with tertiary education to apply the practice based on evidence in nursing, there are still general nurses who have lack of information in this sphere. Nevertheless there are a lot of general nurses with tertiary education who would like to participate in research and application of the research results to nursing practice. A proposal for a whole-life educational course focused on application of Evidence Based Practice to nursing was elaborated upon the research results. The results may also be used in hospital seminars and in education of nursing students.
