KAUCKÁ, Eva
In my degree paper I am dealing with the difference in the nutrition of seniors coming from the natural home environment and those living in retirement homes, especially from the view of quality and quantity of their diet. The theoretical part is focused on basic information of a well-balanced diet of seniors and the specifics thereof. I also mention the importance of drinking regimen there. Recommended daily intakeand resources of individual nutrients are of high importance, too. In old age, diet must be adapted to the current state of health. As a rule, light meals, easily digestible are selected. The practical part presents the results of the research aimed at the above mentioned issues. The information was obtained with the health of questionnaires and retirement home{\crq}s menus. The respondents were divided into two groups according to their place of living. The first group contained the seniors from the natural home environment, the second included seniors from retirement homes.

According to the results of the questionnaires only the second part of the second hypothesis was confirmed, while the first hypothesis and the first part of second hypothesis were not confirmed.

Ageing has a significent impact on the social status of a person. The typical attribute of old age is polymorbidity. The aged often suffer from chronic ailment that go together with pains. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage. Nociception is the physiological event that is accompanied by pain. Nonpharmaceutical therapies affect human mind and thus help to ease pain. These techniques enhance the quality of life and make life more comfortable. The aim of my thesis was to make a survey of nonpharmaceutical inhibition of perception of pain at the nursing process in seniors staying at retirement homes or nursing homes. Using a method of questionnaires as a quantitative research, I focused on the question of using alternative, nonpharmaceutical method of pain management after the previous assessment of a patient´s condition. To different medical care facilities, 120 questionnaires were handed out. The 85 questionnaires that were filled in correctly were used for evaluation . The respondents were selected at random {--} 41 nurses from homes for seniors and 44 nurses working in long-term care facilities. From the Hvizdal retirement home I received only 13 questionnares I could assess and from the Maj retirement home only 16 nurses handed in the questionnaires filled in correctly. I was given 12 correctly filled questionnaires from the retirement home in Jicin and 28 from the Gerontcentre in Hostinne. The total number of 85 correctly filled questionnaires is completed by those 16 from nurses working in the long-term care facility in Lomnice nad Popelkou. The objective of my thesis has been achieved. The hypothesis H I {--} nurses working with seniors in medical care facilites use nonpharmaceutical therapies after the previous assessment of a patient´s condition {--} was confirmed. The hypothesis H II {--} nurses use nonphamaceutical therapies without the previous assessment of a patient´s condition {--}was not confirmed.

The need of lifelong education health care workers for assuring the nursing care in residential homes
MARTINOVSKÁ, Jaroslava
This paper is concerned with life-long learning during nursing practice in retirement homes. New advancements in the medical field foster the need for continual improvement of knowledge of nurses who work in these homes. Nurses play essential role in these institutions, and that is why they, their opinions, and their options have been chosen as a target for research. Theoretical part of this paper has been concerned with overall characteristics of the nursing profession; developments in nurse's education; characteristics and needs of aged people; and overall nurse-client relationship in retirement homes. The goal of the research was to find out opinions about, and options of life-long learning of medical workers in these institutions. Before the actual research, two hypotheses have been stated: H1 - retirement-home nursing staff must be educated on continuous basis; and H2 - retirement-homes do not offer such education. The actual research has been carried out through questionnaires, and standardised interviews. The research has revealed that the nursing staff is in need of life-long learning, and that retirement home institutions are satisfied with this fact, and support their nurses in the pursuit for education. Thus, hypothesis 1 has been confirmed; hypothesis 2 has not been confirmed. Based on the conclusive evidence of this research, some improvements have been proposed to nurses, and to management staff in the relevant retirement-homes.
