Activating programs for long-term hospitalized patients
 HLAVÁČOVÁ, Lucie
In general, it is very important for a human being to stay active. During any kind of hospitalization, activities that anyone is used to from their home environment or lifestyle may get interrupted or halted completely. It is crucial to return these activities back to the life and activation programs were designed to help us with this task. The aim of this paper is to map the current usage of activation programs and the needs of any individual patient. The paper further focuses on the benefits of these programs and also on the general requirements of possible providers of activation programs. The research used qualitative methodology and information was obtained via semi-structured interviews. These interviews were conducted with ten nurses working at the Long-term Care Department of a hospital located in South Bohemian region and with ten selected patients from the same department. Research shows that activation programs are rarely used in every day operations. Currently, this issue is even more accented due to the world-wide epidemiological situation. The hospital is unable to offer all the special activation programs the patients need. The research itself provides comprehensive overview of the advantages stemming from using activation programs for both patients and the nursing staff. The final result of our research is a new concept of activation techniques. This concept would take into consideration patients' own interest an his/her physical strengths to allow them to select an appropriate activity. These would be offered by the nursing staff who would participate in any selected activity with the patient. All exercises would be simple enough and with low physical requirements for the nurse to be able to add these activities to the regular working schedule. We would suggested the following examples of activities: targeted conversations on a specific topic favored by the patient, reading, watching television, singing, painting and drawing, simple crafting and short strolls. The nurse would be properly trained and educated in providing support during the activity. Example information brochure with possible activation techniques is attached in the appendices section of this written work. The brochure will also be presented to the head nursing staff of the Long-term Care Department.
