Current practice and ways of the supervision use in nursing
VAŇKOVÁ, Milena
The thesis named "Current practice and possible ways of implementing clinical supervision in nursing" is the first doctoral dissertation establishing the concept of supervision in the Czech nursing environment. Itscentralresearch questionis as follows: How do nurses and university educators in nursing construct, interpret and practically apply theconcept ofclinical supervision and the supervisor's role in the context of nursing education at specific institutions of tertiary education and clinical nursing practice in the Czech Republic? The author draws on international theoretical literature and local empiricalevidence.Her qualitative research took the form of 26 semi-structured interviews with academic nursingeducators from the entire Czech Republic. In justified cases those are supplemented with qualitative data obtained through the study of legislative, policy and strategic documents in nursing and health care, including publicly available information and sources on clinical supervision, in order torefine the resulting picture of her interpretation of current clinical supervision practice in Czech nursing. A shift to the constructivist paradigm enabled one to conceive the term "clinical supervision" mainly in relation to learning, training and professional development of supervisees, also in the context of transformation of education and supervision not only of nurses but also of supervisors themselves in the Czech Republic. The author also focuses on the philosophical and theoretical foundations of clinical supervision and application of the postmodern approach in egalitarian clinical supervision. The empirical part of this dissertation is based on the qualitative research conducted. The author gradually presents her results as individual categoriesand relations between them that ensued from the analysed data in the process of open coding. The author draws a link between the category of implementation of clinical supervision in the context of nurses' professional education andexternal conditions, the environment and a broader professional and social-cultural context. Clinical supervision in nursing is constructed mainly as a unidisciplinaryconcept and a part of the nursing profession. The university nursing educatoris typically constructed as a role professional, but there is also an ongoing process ofdiversification, stratification, profiling and professionalization of non-academic nursing educators. Based on a content analysis of documents and post-modern philosophical-theoretical foundations and strategies of legitimizingclinical supervision, the author views the concept of clinical supervision in nursing as socially constructedand discursively legitimated. The author also defines the limitations of her research that arise from the choice of a qualitative research design. In the conclusion she outlines some future trends of clinical supervision in particular educational institutions that can be interesting and inspiring not only for supervisors but also for teachers of supervision themselves. Based on the results of her empirical analysis the author emphasises the need to integrate the theory and practice of education, clinical supervision and nursing. A comprehensive structure and methodology of system-wide implementation of clinical supervision, based on the situation of clinical nursing practice and supervision needs in the Czech Republic,should in future formthe basis of innovation of existing university programmes in nursing and approaches to the education and training of supervisors, as well as the subject of new research in clinical supervision.

KUČEROVÁ, Lucie
Volunteering is currently establishing its place in the life of the general public in the Czech Republic. More and more students take part in volunteering programs. Volunteering has many positive sides for the organizations that involve volunteers in their activities as well as for their clients and it enriches the lives of volunteers themselves. In the theoretical part of her work the author describes volunteering in the Czech Republic in the past and present. She investigates volunteering, the preparation of volunteers, their professional preparation during their studies and their supervision at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. The aim of the work is to map out the influence of active volunteering on the professional lives of the students of ZSF JU (Health and Social Department, University of South Bohemia). The next aim is to establish what students know about the possibilities of volunteering, what percentage of students are active volunteers and if they relate volunteering to their professional development. The research method was asking questions, the technique was a questionnaire and a managed interview. The respondents were students of full-time studies at ZSF JU studying the following subjects: Rehabilitation and Psycho Social Care of Handicapped Children, Adults and Old Age People (both bachelor and master studies) and Prevention and Rehabilitation of Social Pathology. The results of the research show that students are aware of the positive influence of volunteering on their professional development. They know the benefits of volunteering with regards to using knowledge obtained at school, learning new procedures and gaining new knowledge. The hypothesis ``Students of ZSF JU are not aware of benefits of volunteering for their professional development{\crqq} was rejected. The hypothesis ``Taking part in volunteering programs helps students gain new skills{\crqq} was proved. The results of the research can be used as information and study material for the support of volunteering at and outside of ZSF JU. It can also help raise awareness of individual programs at ZSF JU and on the opportunities volunteering gives students.
