History and development of intensive care
KADLECOVÁ, Eva
The thesis deals with the history and development of intensive care with emphasis on the Czech lands. Its aim is to describe the historical development of intensive care and nursing in the Czech lands with an emphasis on aspects (such as new techniques, devices, etc.) that have determined this process. The core of the thesis consists of three main chapters. The first one establishes the basic premises of the work, focusing on the definition of intensive care, the history of medicine, and nursing. The second main chapter analyzes the beginnings of intensive care in an international context, emphasizing the influence of Florence Nightingale on the emergence of intensive care and the reflection of her work in the Czech lands. The third chapter describes the history and development of intensive care and nursing in the Czech lands, with this exposition being divided into chronologically arranged subchapters. The thesis is primarily based on historical sources (primarily contemporary publications and journal articles reflecting the discourse of the time) and professional literature. The communist Czechoslovakia period is reflected as an important period when contact between Czechoslovak medicine and Western knowledge was significantly limited, and intensive care as well as nursing were heavily ideologically conditioned, leading to lagging behind the West in many aspects.

Man in management of nursing
ROTHSCHEDL, Radek
This bachelor thesis focuses on men working in managerial positions in nursing. In management in general, there is an equalization of the ratio of men to women in managerial positions. In nursing, as a female-dominated field, this trend is significantly slower. The aim of this study was to map the opinion of middle-level non-medical health care staff about men in nursing managerial positions. The second aim of the present work was to find out how men working in these positions perceive themselves. The research was conducted by means of a questionnaire survey with mid-level NPs and interviews with men in nursing managerial positions.

The importance of basal stimulation in patient care in the Department of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation
MARKOVÁ, Aneta
The bachelor thesis includes the use of the concept of basal stimulation at the Anesthesiology and resuscitation ward and the specifics of nursing care of the patient in this ward. It deals with the application of the concept of basal stimulation in the Department of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation. The concept of basal stimulation was developed by educator Andreas Fröhlich in the 20th century during his research project as a doctoral student. He proved that the most important thing is the stimulation of the so-called basal senses. This concept serves to support human perception and communication. It is based on scientific knowledge of the neurophysiological development of the child. The concept was first applied in the care of children with severe congenital disabilities. It is now being applied in palliative and intensive care, social services and psychiatric nursing. The aim of this study is to find out what elements of basal Stimulation are used in different hospitals in the ARO in the nursing care of the patient. For the research investigation, the ARO at the Pelhřimov Hospital and the České Budějovice Hospital were selected. For the practical part, two research questions were set. The first one describes the importance of basal stimulation in patient care in ARO and the second question deals with the applied elements of BS in Hospital Pelhřimov and Hospital České Budějovice. According to the data analysis, two categories and seven subcategories were created. From the research survey it was found that all respondents perceived the importance of basal stimulation applied in ARO very positively, and they try to apply this concept in their nursing care of patients. In the research investigation, it was found that the respondents agree on most of the applied elements and the most used element is the initiating touch.

The needs of transplanted patients after a re-enrollment in a long-term dialysis program
DUŠKOVÁ, Denisa
Introduction: In this bachelor thesis, the needs of transplanted patients re-entering a long-term dialysis program were examined. The unsatisfied needs of such patients may lead to a deterioration in their health. It is therefore important to perceive the patient's desires and wishes. The issues addressed in this thesis can contribute to a better understanding of the patient´s needs not only by the nursing staff, but also by the patient's family and his surroundings. Objective and research questions: The main objective of this study was to identify the specific needs of these patients. Answers were sought to the questions such as what the specific needs are, how the needs changed before transplantation and after re-entering the dialysis, which needs are not met adequately, and which ones are the most important for the patients. Methods: The data were obtained through qualitative research in the form of a semi structured interview at a selected dialysis center in the South Bohemian Region. The data were processed by the coding method using the ATLAS.ti statistical program. Subsequently, 5 categories were identified with their subcategories. Results: From the resulting data it was found that patients most desire the need for sleep and rest, being pain-free, leading a normal life, and receiving sufficient support from family. However, inadequate satisfaction in the area of sleep does not prevent patients from engaging in a form of physical activity, which positively affects their mental well being. It was also noted that the most important aspect for patients during dialysis is a calm and uncomplicated process. Conclusion: Despite the results of this research, it is necessary to consider a person as an individual being whose needs may differ from the majority.

Chronic constipation in the elderly as a nursing problem
BRÁVKOVÁ, Sabina
The aim of the bachelor's thesis titled "Chronic Constipation in the Elderly as a Nursing Problem" was to explore the methods chosen by patients with chronic constipation for bowel evacuation and where they seek information regarding prevention and treatment of chronic constipation. Additionally, the study investigated who educates patients in this regard. The research objectives were achieved through formulated research questions and semi-structured interviews. In the theoretical part of the bachelor's thesis, we focused on describing constipation, its classification, causes, risk factors, and common symptoms. I also discussed proper diagnosis of chronic constipation and the selection of suitable therapies, which can be either non-pharmacological or pharmacological. Currently, alternative approaches for treating and preventing chronic constipation are well-known. The final section of the thesis is dedicated to geriatrics and gerontology. The practical part of the bachelor's thesis involved qualitative research investigations and interviews with nine clients. The interviews were transcribed, and data has been categorised. The research investigation provided information into methods for preventing and treating chronic constipation. Notably, there were contributions in both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. Clients often employ their own alternative methods to aid with bowel evacuation. The research concludes that clients lack sufficient information, and they struggle to find reliable sources. Furthermore, there is a shortage of healthcare professionals who can adequately educate them. Based on the results of the bachelor thesis, a leaflet for patients suffering from chronic constipation was created.

A View on Reflection in Nursing and Social Work Education
Čajko Eibicht, Monika ; Lorenz, Walter (advisor) ; Brnula, Peter (referee) ; Vacková, Jitka (referee)
In times of dynamic social changes and uncertainty, reflective practice becomes crucial for social work and nursing. This dissertation examines the epistemological foundations and the multidimensional nature of reflection within professional education from various theoretical perspectives tested through original empirical findings, which aim to prevent the reduction of reflection to a mere technique and instead promote dialogue, interdisciplinary cooperation, and participatory methods. Drawing on phenomenological and critical constructivist approaches deepens the understanding of educators' individual and collective experiences and reflective practices. The structure of the thesis corresponds to three empirical phases. The first phase investigates the characteristics of reflection and its developmental potential using SRIS and PHLMS questionnaires. The second phase, encompassing reflexive thematic analysis of interviews, addresses educators' views on reflection and their methods of promoting reflectivity among students. In the third phase, the work employs Q methodology to process and analyze various perspectives on reflection among educators. This method, still underutilized in the Czech context, allows for a deeper examination of the subjective aspects of educational practice. The participation...
