KRÁLOVÁ, Michaela
Abstract The title of the Bachelor´s thesis is "The nurse and her work in the prison service of the Czech Republic. The nurse´s work always starts from the patient´s needs and shall provide the patient with the feeling of surety. The nurse´s work is focused not only on the nursing care but also on the support of the health and healthy living standard. It is a set of measures and particular activities which the nurse carries out, is qualified to carry them out and is responsible for them. The nursing care depends entirely upon the patient's condition and the surroundings where the patient is found. It is beneficial for the nurse working in the prison service to have experience in more nursing specialisations as her work is large-scale and the nursing care is not just focused on one body organ and its associated complications. The main objective was to map out the specifics of the work of the nurse working in the prison service of the Czech Republic whether within outpatient or inpatient wards. We were interested in what had motivated the nurses to work in the prison service of the Czech Republic, what her duties were and how the nursing care was carried out in the prison service of the Czech Republic. The research was done using qualitative research methods. The selected research technique was a semi-structured interview, which was developed based on valid standards and legislation and according to specialized literature related to the problems of the prison service of the Czech Republic. The results of the interviews were analysed by means of casuistries which then became the base for categorised charts and graphs. The research sample composed of six respondents who work as a general nurse in the prison service of the Czech Republic. By means of the research, we found out that the interviewed nurses work in compliance with valid standards and legislation. The nursing care is carried out in the form of a nursing process and the work of the interviewed nurses working in the prison service of the Czech Republic has its own specifics and differs especially in the approach to the prisoner/patient and in the communication with him/her. The most frequent specific facts of the work of the interviewed nurses were accompanying the prison service officers whether accompanying the respondents or a prisoner/patient, day-and-night locking, more administrative work. The motivation of the nurses to work in the prison service appeared to be an interesting salary, new experience and curiosity. The job description of the interviewed nurses in the prison service of the Czech Republic is defined by a given specialisation of a particular facility and internal rules of the facility where the interviewed nurses work. The thesis concluded that the interviewed nurses working in the prison service of the Czech Republic have got a different and specific job which is mainly influenced by the structure of the patients and the surroundings where the patients are located. It is a mentally-demanding job. In practice the results of the research could be used at the specialised conference for non-medical professions in healthcare or published in a specialised journal of health care.
