Nurse and the Care for Patients from Different Cultures
MÁLKOVÁ, Lenka
Increased migration brings together more cultures, so there are more frequent encounters with these patients in healthcare. For these reasons, nursing staff should choose the right approach and focus on the patient's specific needs. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis deals with transcultural nursing, its history and basic concepts related to this issue. Attention is also paid to nurses' attitudes, patient needs and cultures' specifics. Two aids were set in the bachelor thesis, the first one was to map how nurses perceive a patient from different culture, the second one was to find out the most common problems occuring during practice. A qualitative survey using semi-structured interview with nurses working in hospital and outpatient care was used to determine the results. The results were then categorized into categories and subcategories by pencil and paper method. On the basis of the research, it was found that nurses try to perceive all patients in the same way. However, they realize that they sometimes encounter prejudices which they try to avoid. The issues related to the most common problems that nurses face were extensit. Nurses most often deal with communication difficulties, such as misunderstanding, language barriers, and disobeying all information from healthcare professional. In addition, problems with food, frequent, numerous and noisy visits, aggression, shame or fear of pain were also mentioned. In the case of believers, there were also mentioned problems with prayer rituals. The results of the bachelor thesis can be used for presentation at a professional conferenceor in a professional journal.

How to provide the satisfaction of patients` needs in a multicultural taking care from the nurses` point of view
ŠEBKOVÁ, Dana
Abstract The subject of research in this bachelor´ s thesis is to ascertain how the patients´ needs satisfaction is ensured in a multicultural nursing in view of nurses qualified in general nursing. The research was carried out in the hospital in Blansko by means of a questionnaire to be filled in willingly and anonymously. People of different nationalities, cultures, habits, and mentality have been coming to this country. Some of them come to work here and they want to build up a home, others come to spend their vacation only, to visit their relatives and friends, or they come to study. Each of them has different needs; they take care of their health in a different way; and they also perceive disease differently. A great bilateral problem is the language barrier and the communication closely related. The objective of the thesis was to find out what the greatest problem was in satisfying the foreigners´ needs in the hospital in Blansko; which of the foreigners were most frequently treated patients; and whether they had specific needs. The assumed hypotheses were determined as follows: 1. the greatest problem in satisfying the foreigners´ needs in the hospital in Blansko is the language barrier. 2. the most frequently treated foreigners in the hospital in Blansko are the Mongolians who have no specific needs. The nurses qualified in general nursing were provided with 140 questionnaires; thereof 115 were returned; 101 questionnaires were filled in correctly, and these were used for this quantitative research. Through the research investigation it was ascertained that the supposed hypothesis No. 1 was confirmed to state that the greatest problem in satisfying the foreigners´ needs in the hospital in Blansko was the language barrier and the associated communication (graphs 20 and 24). The assumed hypothesis No. 2 was confirmed; 26% of the respondent nurses replied that the most frequently treated foreigners in the hospital in Blansko were the Mongolians who had no specific needs (graphs 7 and 16). The investigation led to the ascertainment that the care of a foreigner is more demanding than that of a Czech patient especially due to the language barrier on both sides (graph 13). The foreigners´ satisfaction is not monitored in 56% (graph 17). The general results of the research show that the care of the foreigners in this country is at a standard level, while the language barrier remains the only and principal problem.

Military nurses role during nursing care of civilian inhabitants and soldiers in foreign military operations
KRATOŠKOVÁ, Tereza
We have determined three research questions: 1. Do the injured and ill civil people perceive the difference in the care provided by a man or a woman? 2. Does the health care staff respect the religion of the Kosovan people? 3. Do the injured and ill soldiers perceive the difference in the care provided by a man or a woman? To obtain the answers we used the asking metod during the interview. We chose six groups of injured and sick people who were taken care of in Kosovo. In the first group there were soldiers of the Czech army- 7 men, in the second group there were 5 women. In the third group there were men from the military health care personnel- 7 men, the fourth group included military health care staff- 5 women. In the last two groups there were local Kosovans- 5 men and 5 women. Hypothesis were established on the basis of the analysis: H1: Injured and sick civil people feel the difference between a nurse man and a nurse woman. H2: The health care personnel respects the religion of the Kosovan people. H3: Wounded and ill soldiers perceive the difference between a male nurse and a female nurse. Results of this work can be used for the preparation of the soldiers before they go on a foreign mission or as study material in the nurses training and presentations. It can help to improve the health care during the foreign missions.
