Income to the hospital, needs of the patient and nursing care
ROSOLOVÁ, Tereza
The bachelor thesis Admittance to hospital, patient?s needs and nursing care is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part.The theoretical part analyses what needs are and their classification, nursing care and its methods, outpatient and inpatient admittance from the point of view of a patient and from the point of view of nurses. These facts are compared between a surgery and an internal medicine ward. These problems form the central topics of this thesis.The practical part involves qualitative methods, namely the techniques of non standardized interview and observation by means of a record sheet both in patients and nurses specialized in surgery and internal medicine.First we prepared 20 questions focused on our topic, which were applied to 10 respondents, 5 surgical and 5 internal. A half of the questions dealt with patients that were waiting for or had already passed primary admittance to the surgical or internal ward of the České Budějovice Hospital. The second half of the questions was focused on the problems of inpatient admittance, which the patients had passed. 2 of the questions were given to nurses that took care about the patient at both, the admission office and the ward.The aim of the thesis was to find out what information the patients have when they are admitted to hospital. The second aim was to map the time interval between admittance at the admission office and laying the patient on the bed. The third aim was to map what needs were not saturated after admittance of a patient to the ward. The fourth aim was to map what problems nurses met most often in acceptance of a patient to the ward in terms of the nursing care they provided.The research among the respondents has shown that most patients do not have any specific information on admittance. The time interval between admittance at the admission office and laying the patient on the bed seems to be acceptable, although it usually took an hour or more. As for the needs, all the patients except for two had their needs saturated. The problems nurses face at acceptance are mostly with aggressive patients, alcohol influence, poor communication with family, signing a negative discharge, poor communication with admission nurses and communication barriers.
