Cooperation of nursing staff with the ostomy nurse
HÁLOVÁ, Kateřina
The bachelor thesis is focused on cooperation between stoma nurses and general nurses, their procedures in the education of stoma patients, and nursing problems related to stomas. The bachelor thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical part and research part. The theoretical part contains characteristics of a stoma nurse, stoma, stoma indications, complications and appropriate stoma care. It also defines cooperation among healthcare staff, and education of ostomates. The research part is focused on cooperation between stoma nurses and general nurses, education of ostomates, and the most common nursing problems related to stomas. Two objectives were set for the research part, namely: To explore cooperation between nursing staff and stoma nurses. To identify the most common nursing problems encountered by stoma nurses in the education of nurses. This part had the form of a qualitative research survey using semi-structured interviews. Interviews were taken with two research sets. The first set consisted of three stoma nurses and the other one of four general nurses. After theoretical saturation was reached, the information was processed in the form of open coding and was subsequently categorized into seven categories. The results show that cooperation between stoma nurses and general nurses in taking care of ostomates is very common. In most cases such cooperation involves professional help in dealing with complications, provision of stoma care supplies, or patient education. Concerning the second objective, it has been found out that the most common problem in the education of nurses is poorly cut holes in ostomy bags and subsequent occurrence of complications. It has also been found out that stoma nurses try to educate staff in accordance with their nursing procedures so that the education of patients is of the highest quality possible. The findings were used to create an information material for nurses and students of nursing professions.

Svitáková, Jana ; Hošťálková, Monika (advisor) ; Mrákava, Vlastimil (referee)
General nurses in their proffesion provide nursing care to patients of different age groups. Quite frequently represented group are seniors. This fact is due to the increase in life expectancy, medical advances and polymorbidity of seniors, which is often the cause of their hospitalization. Nursing care for seniors is particularly challenging due to the occurence of many geriatric symptoms, restriction of cognitive functions and inabillity to self care. Much more difficult situation occurs, if the state of geriatric patient requires care in ARO (Department of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation) or ICU (Intensive Care Unit). Identification of problem areas in intensive nursing care for seniors leads to infer the possible measures for practice. In terms of this thesis quantitative research was carried out using a questionnaire survey. Research group consisted of general nurses from departments of intensive care, thus professional intesive care units (ICU) and department of anesthesiology and resuscitation. Out of the total number of 120 distributed questionnaires (100 %) returned 94 usable questionnaires (78,33 %). Realization of research survey was conducted in February 2012. The thesis consists of two parts, the practical and theoretical. The main objective was to map the problem of providing nursing...
