Patients' rights from the perspective of patients
ZRNOVÁ, Ivana
The bachelor thesis is dedicated to patients' rights including nursing. Patients have several rights that relate to their health care and privacy. These rights include the right to information about their health and treatment and freedom to choose their doctor and health care facility, the right to privacy and protection of personal data, the right to respect one's religious and cultural practices, the right to basic hygiene and privacy during hospitalisation, the right to fair and equal treatment without discrimination, and many others. These rights are protected by health care laws and regulations, and patients can request to have them respected if they are violated. It is important that patients are informed about their rights and that they are allowed to actively use them so that they can receive quality health care and respect for their rights. The aim of this thesis is to find out the awareness of patients about their rights and to find out the compliance of selected rights from the patient's perspective. The aim has been achieved through quantitative research which includes a questionnaire of my own design. The research was conducted in regional hospitals among patients who were fully oriented. The results of the research will be used by the management of health service delivery for optimization of health care and for health professionals and for the students of nursing.

The use of alcoholic disinfectants can cause skin manifestations and it is necessary to take care of the skin of the hands. Hygienic hand disinfection is a global topic and has been the subject of many studies. This thesis is enriched by a number of them. Health care-associated infections are closely related to hygienic hand disinfection. The theoretical part of the thesis also focuses on this. In the research part of the thesis, the data obtained by observation and subsequent interview technique are processed. The objectives of the thesis are to find out the problem areas of implementation of hygienic hand disinfection among general nurses, to find out the reasons for non-adherence to hygienic hand disinfection among general nurses and to find out the recommendations of general nurses for adherence to hygienic hand disinfection.

The role of the nurse in preventive care in the context of history
ŠAFRÁNKOVÁ, Tereza
The Diploma Thesis has a theoretical character and is prepared as a historical-analytical study. The aim of the thesis was to describe the development of preventive care and the development of the role of the nurse in preventive care in the Czech Republic based on the interpretation of texts available literature and resources through the method of textual hermeneutics. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to set four research questions: How did preventive care in the Czech Republic evolve? Which factors influenced the development of preventive care in the Czech Republic? How has the role of the nurse in preventive care in the Czech Republic evolved? How have the competencies of the nurse in preventive care in the Czech Republic changed? Through these research questions, have been achieved the following results. Preventive care in the Czech Republic has began to develop from the very beginning of civilization and has passed throught many changes over the history, in conformity with the development of scientific and technological knowledge, the development of society, the philosophy of life, and also in conformity with the development of medicine and nursing. However, some elements of preventive care that we may encountered in ancient times are still in place today, and current preventive care is based on them. The key factors influencing the development of preventive care and the role of the nurse in preventive care were: the emergence of the first civilizations and the gradual settlement of areas; the beginning of the spread of the first diseases and epidemics; the influence of religion and the church; socio-economic conditions at the time; wars; political situations and legislation of the time; the discovery of smallpox vaccination; prominent figures - F. Nightingale, N. I. Pirogov, H. Dunant, E. Jenner, whose actions contributed to the development of preventive care; and World Health Organization. The role of the nurse in preventive care has evolved along with nursing as well as medicine, which passed throught many changes over the history. In the area of preventive care, the role of the nurse changed here based on their education, increasing competences, as well as the need for preventive care at any given time. Nurses competences in preventive care passed throught a considerable transformation over the history. We can notice the same competences in the hisotry and present. We can say that the current competencies of a nurse in preventive care are based on the competencies which she had previously, but they are already modified to society's current needs. The reventive care has become an inseparable part of the nursing profession.
Nursing physical examination in surgical nursing care.
SRBOVÁ, Klára
Current Status: The physical examination is an essential component of patient assessment, contributing to accurate diagnosis. It encompasses techniques such as inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation, and digital rectal examination. Thesis Objectives: This study aims to delineate nursing actions in conducting physical examinations and highlight disparities in performing these assessments within surgical nursing settings. Methodology: A qualitative research method was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews. The interview cohort comprised 8 nurses working in various surgical wards. Furthermore, a quantitative survey, comprising open, semi-open, or closed questions, was selected and included 169 respondents practicing across diverse surgical units. Data collection was conducted online, and participant selection was guided by data saturation. Thesis Findings: Interviews underscored nurses' adeptness in conducting physical examinations and their awareness of nuances that vary across departments. Most respondents (42.6%) hailed from traditional surgical units. A significant portion held a bachelor's degree (45.6%), and the prevalent experience range within surgical wards was 0-10 years (56.8%). Notably, 73.4% of patient admissions involved collaborative data collection between nurses and physicians. During physical examinations, 85.2% of nurses helped, and 97.6% performed assessments within their respective units. Inspection, olfaction, and assessment of consciousness consistently fell under nursing purview. Palpation and auscultation were infrequently conducted by nurses, with digital rectal examinations being exceedingly rare. Physical examination by a nurse varies from one surgical department to another. A relationship between the palpation and consciousness examination and the surgical ward in which she works has been demonstrated. Physical examination by a nurse varies with length of experience. There was a relationship between palpation examination and length of experience in the surgical department. Physical examination varies with the age of nurses. A relationship between percusion and consciousness examinationand and the age of the nurse has been demonstrated. Conclusion: In summary, nursing-conducted physical examinations is performed by the nurse within the scope of her competence and align with departmental needs and resources, reflecting the specific care context. The findings emphasize the collaborative nature of patient assessment and shed light on areas where nursing participation may be enhanced.
