The realization of educational program at patient with diagnosis of cardiac infarction
MATUCHOVÁ, Mária
This Bachelor´s work deals with educational programmes for patients with recognised myocardial infarction. Even if the circulatory system mortality rate has been decreasing steadily, it remains quite high compared to other EU states. Thousands of people can be successfuly treated thanks to developing diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities. On the other hand, no treatment is effective enough without active clients´ cooperation. Higher attention, however, should be paid to the prevention. Medical and nursing staff care is to focus on patients´ treatment and their education so that they could cooperate actively in realisation, prevention and treatment processes. A client can get basic pieces of information during his stay in hospital and he takes them up again while being a client of out-patient cardiologic departments. Usually, educational process is not organised very well which provides bad or no continuity of medical and nursing care. The aim of this research survey has been to find out the sources which the clients use for getting information, and what attention is paid to educational programmes. The hypotheses assumed at the beginning are as follows: Clients are mostly informed by nurses and find most information in magazines and brochures. Clients, with a prevailing number of women, realise the educational programme. The research survey has had theses findings.The first two hypotheses has been disproved while the other two were proved. Clients get most information verbally which means that they prefer personal communication. Concerning the other two hypotheses, the educational programme is observed by most patients with a prevailing number of women. So the hypotheses has been proved. The findings obtained from this Bachelor´s work are very useful because the education of cardiac patients within and outside health care facilities can significantly help reduce the number of myocardial infarction patients.

Methods of elastic bandage application in nursing practice
KAŇKOVÁ, Jana
The bachelor thesis deals with methods of elastic bandage application in nursing practice. The theoretical part deals with the anatomy or venous and lymphatic system. It also focuses on examinations of venous and lymphatic system in which elastic bandage application is an integral part of the procedure. The thesis refers to roles of a nurse in elastic bandage application and to roles of bandage in nursing practice. Three objectives were set for the thesis. The first objective was to identify methods used by nurses in elastic bandage application. The second objective was to find out what information about elastic bandage application is available to the nurses. The third objective was to propose input documents for development of a manual for practical application of elastic bandage. All the objectives set for the thesis have been met. The thesis establishes four hypotheses. The hypothesis No. 1 ``Nurses prefer ear-shaped turns in application of elastic bandage`` has been confirmed. The hypothesis No. 2 ``Nurses are able to explain the difference between short-stretch and long-stretch bandages`` has not been confirmed. The hypothesis No. 3 ``Nurses understand the potential complications from incorrect application of elastic bandage`` has been confirmed. The survey used a questionnaire containing 26 questions. The questionnaire contained closed, half-closed and open questions. The data were collected in March 2009 in the hospital in České Budějovice. 110 questionnaires were distributed in total and 98 questionnaires were returned. 5 questionnaires were eliminated due to incompleteness. The total number of evaluated questionnaires was 93, which means the success rate 89.1 %. To meet one of the objectives of this thesis a manual has been developed for application of elastic bandage, which should improve the quality of knowledge among the nurses. The manual should also help the nurses to improve their skills in elastic bandage application.

A nurse and physical examination of a client/patient
BENEDIKTOVÁ, Martina
My thesis deals with physical examination of the patient by a nurse and its right technique. Physical examination generally follows the taking of the medical history - an account of the symptoms as experienced by the patient - in internal and surgical wards. It becomes part of the medical record. The theoretical part describes the complete physical examination and gives its definition. Physical examination is focused on the somatic condition of the patient. A systematic examination generally starts at the head and finishes at the extremities. The main organ systems are investigated by inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation and per rectum examination. For physical examination a nurse uses her senses - sight, hearing, touch, sometimes also smell. My thesis examines the right technique of physical examination and why this examination should be carried out by a nurse. I also wanted to give reason why the physical examination should become a common part of the nursing process.
