The role of a nurse at client's home in self-monitoring.
ADAMČÁKOVÁ, Marta
The bachelor's thesis deals with the issue of the role of the nurse in monitoring at home. It deals with the correctness of performing home measurements in the patient's homes. This work points out the important activities of the nurse, leading to the improvement of the results of home measurements. The work provides a view of the nurse on activities in the field of self-monitoring, but also a view of the experiences, needs and expectations of patients. The theoretical part focuses on the definition of self-monitoring, its proper implementation, the need and the most common use in Czech medical practice, focused on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases. It defines and approaches the diseases that are most often associated with self-monitoring performed by the patient in the home environment. Interviews with nurses and patients revealed their view of the nurse's activities, leading to quality results, thanks to a well-performed home self-assessment of the patient. The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to map the activities and knowledge that are needed to fulfill the role of the nurse in self-monitoring in the patient's home environment. In order not to skew the results of the survey, patients were also invited to interviews. The survey showed that nurses working in specialized clinics perform their activities at the best level of all the nurses interviewed. The quality of the nurses from these outpatient clinics was confirmed by the knowledge and overview of the interviewed patients visiting specialized outpatient clinics. Furthermore, the research shows that nurses working in general practitioner surgeries do not sufficiently ensure the individual needs of the patient in the field of education, learning and information in the field of self-monitoring. Interviews with nurses from hospital wards and hospitalized patients have shown that nurses do not perform self-monitoring activities at home during the hospitalization of a patient diagnosed with hypertension or diabetes mellitus. These are activities such as education, providing information, measuring practice and more.

Berdár, Gabriel ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Čermák, Radim (referee)
This thesis deals with the topic of self-measurement and quantification of the human life with the help of smartphones, tablets, wearables and software applications. All these tools can help us to improve the quality of our life, if we know how to use these technologies and how to use the data that they provide us. In my work I analyzed current situation of the quantified self market with the variety number of parameters you can measure. Next I tried measuring a collecting data about myself and I tried to demonstrate that it really can be useful if you know how to use all the information these tools give you. And as a last part I did a survey among the public and the results were that self-measuring is not that common in Czech Republic but majority of respondents believe in the future of quantified self as well as many companies that invest in this field of technology.
