Measuring scales as a part of modern nursing of a patient with brain injury.
 MAROVÁ, Markéta
My diploma thesis deals with measuring scales, which are a part of modern nursing care of a patient with a brain injury. The aim of my work was to find out how nurses use measuring scales, to analyze difficult areas of the patient throughout the disease by using measuring scales, to observe in which way measuring scales help patients and in which way they help nurses. We laid down four investigative questions to fulfill these goals: In which way do the nurses work with measuring scales? Which are difficult areas of the patient with brain injury during his disease? In which way do the measuring scales help patients? In which way do these help nurses? The research part of my work was implemented in the form of quality approach through semi-structured approach and case study. The research sample consists of twenty probands - fifteen nurses meeting patients with brain injuries within their work and five patiens with brain injuries. Results of the research investigation show that nurses use measuring scales during their work nearly all the time of patients hospitalization. Majority of them already became acquainted with measuring scales during their studies, at least theoretically. These nurses would appreciate learning how to use them more practically. Superiors require using measuring scales by nurses. It is proved that nurses use very similar measuring scales at their departments with minor exceptions. Nurses responding in our research in majority of cases do not use special measuring scales for patients with brain injuries and their awareness of these is minimal. They agree Glasgow Coma Scale is considered to be the most important one. My research revealed minor deficiences in work with measuring scales. It also showed many problems which patients with brain injuries must deal with.The results of my research also show that measuring scales can help both nurses and patients in many ways.
