The nurse's work from the public's point of view
HÁJKOVÁ, Markéta
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to map the view of the lay public on the profession of a nurse. The theoretical part refers about the development of nursing and the nursing profession throughout history. Furthermore, the work deals with the view of the nurse at present, describes her image and education of nurses at present, and also introduces us to the image of the nurse at the media, including factors that affects the view of the general public.3 hypotheses were used to explore the topic. H1: The perception of the role of nurses is influenced by the gender of the general public. H2: The perception of the prestige of the sisters is affected by the education of the general public. H3: The opinion of the general public on the profession of nurses is affected by the media image. To verify the hypothesis, a quantitative survey was demonstrated, by the form of a questionnaire for the general public. The complete number of returned compliant questionnaires was 195. The resulting data were further processed in the form of graphs or tables and the hypothesis was evaluated by the use of statistics. From the results of the survey, we found out that the lay public, during the first thinking about nurses, contemplates about help. However, we were interested in whether the perception of the role of nurses is influenced by the gender of the public, and due to differences in other elected answers, H1 was confirmed. We were also investigated whether the perception of the prestige of nurses is influenced by the education of the general public. Most of the respondents have a positive view of the prestige of the nurse profession. These respondents were mostly the ones with the highest secondary education with a high school diploma. There were also sufficiently represented other categories of educational attainment and after the evaluation of the data we found out, that the perception of the prestige of the nurses is not influenced by the education of the general public. H2 was therefore rejected. During the last hypothesis, we were interested in whether the public opinion on nurses is influenced by the media image. Most of the respondents think that the media does influence the public's view of nurses. H3 was therefore confirmed.
