Position and function of general nurses at senior homes
HYNKOVÁ, Miroslava
Social residential facilities are obliged to provide their clients with nursing and rehabilitation care. They are however not obliged to provide the care through their own competent healthcare staff. This is why provision of nursing care to users of senior homes by general nurses is a frequently discussed topic, particularly because of nursing care funding. Founders of residential social services more and more often reduce the numbers of healthcare staff and substitute them with cheaper workforce, social service workers. However as Malíková (2011) says such a social service would not be complex and complete without quality nursing care. A general nurse in a senior home can only provide medical care to the extent specified by a physician, who duly and completely enters the required care into a special form. Only health problems may be the reason for indication of medical care. The present structure of users of numerous senior homes would definitely deserve the status of healthcare facility, as the health condition of seniors often corresponds to the long-term treatment hospital. The work of a nurse in such facilities is very responsible and demanding as a physician that might assess a change in health condition of a client and solve acute changes is not permanently present in a senior home. A nurse is usually the only healthcare staff member and at the highest position. However a nurse can only measure physiological functions and perform basic examination of a client within her competence without presence of a physician. She evaluates the situation upon this base and has to decide on further proceeding. She bears responsibility for her decisions. Recognition of symptoms and assessment of situation requires a lot of knowledge and experience. The goal of the thesis was to find how the position and function of a general nurse in a senior home is perceived by physicians, general nurses, seniors and the general public and whether a general nurse is irreplaceable in the care of seniors in residential social services. Four research questions were set for these goals. How does a physician perceive the role of general nurses in a senior home? How do general nurses perceive the role of general nurses in a senior home? How do representatives of the general public perceive the role of general nurses in a senior home? What is the importance of a general nurse for seniors in provision of medical care? Qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interview was chosen for data collection. Before each interview the respondents were assured that their anonymity would be preserved and that all the information obtained would only be used for the purposes of this bachelor thesis. The research was conducted in March ? April 2013. Physicians and nurses providing medical care to users of senior homes perceive the position of a nurse in the healthcare team as necessary and irreplaceable. For the general public the nursing and medical care in a senior house is a commonplace. There is still the model from the times when general nurses and attendants worked in senior homes in the awareness of the public. In fact they are not interested in who provides the care, but mainly how. Worsened health condition and subsequent worsened self sufficiency is the reason why seniors go to senior homes. They do not think about who will care about them in the senior home, but they expect that nurses and attendants. They trust the nurses that provide them with care and have the feeling of safety and security that in the case of sudden health condition change qualified medical care will be provided to them at their presence. The information obtained from this bachelor thesis might be useful for managements of social care providers and officers of health insurers in deciding whether healthcare staff is necessary in this sphere of social services or not.

Nursing process and its significance to seniors according the perspective of retirement home nurses
FRÜHAUFOVÁ, Hana
Modern nursing care is characterized by seeking, planning and satisfying needs of a healthy or an ill person. All this is performed by means of the nursing care process. The nursing care process is considered the basic scientific method of advanced nursing care leading to solution of problems. It has already become an inherent form of individual care planning. Thanks to the nursing care process a nurse has a holistic view of a patient and is able to provide quality care. Nursing care is provided in compliance with the nursing care process principles with regard to the specifics of geriatric care in senior homes. A senior home nurse takes into consideration the specifics of the individual phases of nursing care process in seniors. Senior homes provide residential services to people with lower self-sufficiency particularly caused by higher age and to those who need regular care in the field of self-sufficiency and personal care. Unfavourable social situation does not allow these people to live in their domestic environment. Complex care provided in senior homes substitutes for domestic environment. Seniors are also given health care provided by general nurses. The aim of the thesis was to examine nursing care process application in a senior home and the importance of the nursing care process from the point of view of senior home nurses. The following research questions were set: Which nursing care process phases are applied by nurses taking care about seniors in the senior home? How do senior home nurses feel the importance of nursing care process? Qualitative research by means of in-depth interview and questioning of nurses in a selected senior home in South Bohemia was chosen for collection of necessary information. The interviews were recorded and subsequently literally transcribed. The transcribed interviews were deeply analyzed by means of paper and pencil method by open coding. Four categories were created from the data analysis: Nursing care process, Nursing care process in practice, Nursing care process phases and Compilation of nursing care diagnosis and maintenance of nursing care documentation. Subcategories, where the core data are coded, are assigned to the individual categories, everything is illustrated by clear diagrams of the individual categories. The research shows that nurses have general knowledge of nursing care process. They were able to define nursing care process, to name its phases and to express their attitude to this method. They actively apply the process, but they say it is demanding for them from time and administration point of view. The fact that the knowledge of nursing care diagnosis is very poor among nurses is surprising. With regard to the limited awareness of nursing care diagnoses I propose a seminar explaining this issue.

The possibilities of free-time activities for people living in senior homes or homes with special regime in Pilsen
ŠOTOVÁ PŘÍVĚTIVÁ, Tereza
In my bachelor thesis I dealt with the current state of activation activities offered in retirement homes and homes with special regime in the city of Pilsen and changing trends within five years. Especially, my interest was focused on getting to know the difference of the socially therapeutic and activation activities among the homes, but I also wanted to find out whether the official offer of each home, which is mentioned in publicly available documents and sources, differs from the leisure activities provided in reality. The target of my work was the mutual comparison of offers of leisure activities, which are provided by Pilsner homes, and the survey of interest in these activation activities of the users of social service. The method of quality survey was used for accomplishing the thesis. An analysis of socially therapeutic and leisure activities was carried out as well as a secondary analysis of activity materials. The information was collected from a survey company in the form of questioning with the help of regulated individual interviews prepared in advance and followingly described in situational tretises.

The care of seniors in the field day care of the Regional charity Třeboň
BROŽOVÁ, Alena
Our population is aging, people are living longer. There are a growing number of seniors who are non self-sufficient due to their age and need help from others. Since their families may not always be able to take care of them, these people need adequate social services. This thesis deals with two groups of seniors that use two social services available in a small town. The first group contains seniors living in their homes ? in-home care clients, the second group are Senior Home residents. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part consists of four sections, the first deals with the aging of population in the Czech Republic, the second deals with the care for seniors, the third describes aspects of seniors´ lives and the fourth section defines the Home Care for seniors and the Senior Home in Třeboň. The objective of the thesis was to compare aspects of life of these two services users. To collect data, the strategy of qualitative research was used and the following techniques were chosen: participant observation, semi-conducted interview and personal documents analysis. In the discussion, the author compares the results of her work with the views of other authors dealing with senior issues. This thesis can be used as information material for both the mentioned workplaces, as well as for students and, last but not least, for seniors who are deciding which service to choose.
