Nurse in the course of time and her social and professional status.
ŘEZNÍČKOVÁ, Pavlína
The profession of a nurse has been formed for a long time and this process still continues. At first, it was laic care, then charity care which was later transformed into organized therapeutic care. The quality of therapeutic care has been increasing thanks to the expert knowledge of the people who provided this care. Historical development helps the understanding and setting of the main factors of progress in the nursing profession. The nursing profession is still gaining importance which is connected with the permanent growth of qualification. For this bachelor thesis 3 goals were set: 1) To analyse the available literature about nurses' social and professional status over history. 2) To chart nurses' social and professional status over history. 3) To create an informational material about nurses' social and professional status over history. This bachelor thesis is theoretical. It was made by secondary data analysis method. It was necessary to study a great amount of specialized Czech and English literature, qualification theses, expert articles and internet databases. The output and the benefit of the thesis is the informational material that is intended for the laics and the experts as well. It also clarifies the development of the nurse profession and its social status in countries other than our own

Florence Nightingale versus nurse 21st century
SKOPCOVÁ, Tereza
The bachelor thesis called Florence Nightingale versus a nurse of the 21st century is worked out mainly on a theoretical level. It has an informational character which goal is understandable and logical interpretation of Florence Nightingale and a nurse of the 21st century. We did not focus only on the most important character of the nursing in history but also on the development of the profession of a nurse from the medieval up to presence, status of women in society in chosen periods and on modification of moral values and assumptions which differ nurses through the centuries. To gain all the information, it was needed to study Czech and foreign reference literature. I have worked with technical magazines, for example a universal magazine Kontakt, the magazine Nurse and the magazine Florence. While I was writing the thesis I also used the information gained through reference foreign databases PubMed, Scopus and EBSCO. This bachelor thesis should clarify the phenomenon of the development of the nurse profession. It should be understandable for general public and should create a real view on nurses in the history and in the new millennium. It is also dedicated to future nurses not only to realize the historical milestones of nursing but as a teaching aid for the subject: The nursing theory. Every educated nurse should orientate in history of the nursing profession to appreciate the effort of all known and unknown characters of the nursing history. The thesis provides the general overview about the development of the nursing profession during the last thousand years. We tried to show that the development, especially the development of the nursing profession, was determined mainly by the status of women in the society and moral values of the given society.

Teambuilding in nursing practice
PÍŽOVÁ, Markéta
This thesis deals with teambuilding in connection with management of changes in clinical practice and in manager practice. The executives in nursing are registered nurse managers, bearers of changes in quality of nursing care. Courses of teambuilding are a part of educational programmes for development of managerial skills of nurses. Teambuilding means both, team education or building of a team, and training focused on support of mutual confidence and team cooperation. A combination of methods of qualitative and quantitative research was chosen to elaborate the empiric part of the paper. The objective of a qualitative part was to find out, how much are the teambuilding courses used in practice and what is the benefit of the courses for the team. The data were obtained by means of a half-standardized interview with 6 respondents who took part in the teambuilding course. Three hypotheses were set on the basis of these interviews. These hypotheses became then a background for the second stage of the research by means of quantitative method. The objectives of quantitative research were to survey nurse managers´ awareness of possibilities of team education, to find out whether the nurses are interested in courses and to reveal obstacles in realization of teambuilding courses in medical facilities. By means of questionnaires for ordinary nurses and for nurse managers we achieved the objectives. The hypothesis about the awareness of nurse managers of the course was not proved. The second hypothesis about the interest of ordinary nurses in teambuilding courses was not proved either. The lack of financial resources was mentioned as the most frequent obstacle for realization of the course. During the collection of the data for the research in management in nursing, a lack of publishing activities of nurse managers was revealed. A lot of interesting information was obtained thanks to the interviews with nurse managers. Publishing of the experience of sister managers with leading and managing nursing teams would become significant contribution and inspiration for other nurses in practice.
