Problematics of Nursing Care about Foreigners During Hospitalization.
VÍTKOVÁ, Aneta
This bachelor thesis deals with the problematics of nursing care of foreigners during hospitalization. The choice of this topic is based on more frequent encounters of health professionals with patients from other cultures. This fact is largely impacted by migration, where foreigners travel to Czech Republic for work, and also for the quality of Czech healthcare. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to comprehensively map the problematics of nursing care of foreigners and to point out the challenges or areas that could be improved in terms of quality care for foreigners. The empirical part of this bachelor thesis contained qualitative and quantitative research survey. For quantitative research survey we chose non-standardized questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 26 questions and it was distributed among nurses at surgical and orthopedic departments and at the surgical or orthopedic ICU of hospitals in the Vysočina region. A total of 102 respondents participated in the questionnaire survey. The obtained data were processed in MS Excel using pivot tables and graphs. For qualitative research survey we chose observation. This research survey took place in the surgical department, where foreign patients often commute for planned procedures. The results of the questionnaire survey clearly do not indicate that nurses with longer experience have more knowledge in the field of nursing care of foreigners. For example, it was found that almost half of the research group does not know the specifics of other cultures. However, they are able to deal with possible language barriers. From the observation we can highlight the communication of nurses with patients. The communication of nurses and their use of interpreter took place without major difficulties. Furthermore, the nurses passed on the necessary information to each other and were able to provide appropriate care to the patients. This bachelor thesis can be used a basis for further educational materials and thus contribute to the process of improving nursing care of foreigners.

Trávníčková, Monika ; Tollarová, Blanka (advisor) ; Hnilicová, Helena (referee)
The thesis deals with pregnancy and childbirth among Roma women in the context of transcultural care. In the theoretical part, three main topics relevant to the subject of the thesis are addressed: (i) transcultural care and its development both abroad and in the Czech Republic, (ii) the Roma way of life with a special focus on those aspects affecting the way of perceiving and experiencing the pregnancy and childbirth by Roma women, and (iii) recent trends in providing care to pregnant and labouring women. The empirical part includes a qualitative research into how Roma women perceive and experience pregnancy and childbirth, and what characteristics from the perspective of midwives make them different from the majority society women. Using qualitative research based on interviews with Roma women and midwives I gained valuable data upon which I have identified cultural differences which may affect Roma women's access to prenatal care, the manner of pregnancy planning, and the perception of pregnancy or parturition itself. Based on these findings, I have analysed the applicability of the transcultural care model to Roma women. The main objective is to help midwives to better understand different situations they may encounter during the caregiving Roma women. Key words: culture, transcultural care,...

Peculiarities of nursing care of clients of the Jewish denomination
JÍLKOVÁ, Veronika
Judaism, that is dealt with in a lot of publications, is a religion scattered all over the world. In the history of all countries you can find mention of a Jewish locality, ghetto, some famous Jew, or a court case with Jews. Jews were persecuted for centuries, and nearly everybody remembers World War II and the Holocaust. Globalization brings migration and multicultural society. To provide clients with efficient nursing care, it is necessary to ensure good professional readiness of nurses for transcultural nursing. The dissertation deals with the peculiarities of nursing care of clients of the Jewish denomination. For the research part techniques of quality research were used {--} semi-standardized survey interview and content data analyse. The research set consisted of 11 clients from Domov sociální péče Hagibor in Prague (care home), and there were 37 files of medical documentation at our disposal. At the very beginning of the research we set 3 aims. Do hospitalized clients of the Jewish denomination require specific nursing care? Are there differences in providing specific nursing care for clients of the Jewish orthodox or conservative type? Are there differences in the care for clients of the Jewish denomination between the terminal stage hospital and the facility for clients of the Jewish denomination? Based on the aims we set the research questions. We fulfilled the aims, and the research questions were answered during the research. Based on the done research we set these hypotheses: Hypothesis 1. When providing nursing care, it is important to know the type of Judaism a client professes. Hypothesis 2: Jews prefer vegetarian meals in medical facilities. Hypothesis 3: Practising Jews refuse hospitalization in a hospital during important feasts unless their life is in danger. Hypothesis 4: There are differences in providig nursing care for Orthodox Jew clients comparing with care for clients of conservative type. Hypothesis 5: There are differences between the care for clients of Jewish denominations in the terminal stage hospital and in a facility for clients of Jewish denomination. The dissertation brings surprising and interesting research results, which were processed into the model of culture friendly-adjusted care of Joyce Newman Giger and Ruth Davidhizar, and a standard nursing care process for a client of Jewish denomination was developed.

The possibility to apply the Leininger's model within the nursing care for homeless people
VLKOVÁ, Ludmila
The possibility to apply the Leininger's model within the nursing care for homeless people The thesis deals with the lifestyle of homeless people and subsequently also with the issue of nursing care for these people; such a care is a specific one due to their lifestyle. Next, the thesis works with the model by Madeleine Leininger, as well as with the model of Joyce Newman Giger and Ruth Davidhizar, which belongs to transcultural nursing sphere and is understood as the way how to overcome differences between the nursing subculture and homeless people subculture within the nursing process. Within the scope of the thesis, we have decided to research the possibility to apply the Leininger's model within the nursing care for homeless people, from the nurses' point of view, using the quantitative method, and the questionnaire technique. For the research purposes were set 5 goals: 1st Goal ? to find out what is the attitude of nurses to homeless people. 2nd Goal ? to inquire information from nurses related to the facts how is going the nursing care for homeless people. 3rd Goal ? to research, whether nurses from the selected hospitals may use the Leininger's model when nursing the homeless people. 4th Goal ? to make sure ourselves whether nurses are aware of the differences resulting from the lifestyle of homeless people. 5th Goal ? to search where, according to the opinion of nurses, are the homeless people going when leaving hospital to be ?home-nursed?. The goals were met. Hypothesis 1 ? that nurses appraise negatively the lifestyle of homeless people ? was proved. Hypothesis 2 ? that nursing care for homeless people is performed in the same way as in case of other clients ? was not proved. Hypothesis 3 ? that nurses of higher than secondary education do know the Leininger's model ? was proved. Hypothesis 4 ? that nurses consider the application of Leininger's model within the nursing care for homeless people useful ? was proved. Hypothesis 5 ? that nurses take into consideration differences in lifestyle of homeless people ? was proved. Hypothesis 6 ? that nurses do not know where the homeless people go when leaving hospitals to be ?home-nursed? ? was not proved. Analysing the gathered information there also resulted another Hypothesis 7 ? that nurses prefer application of the model by Joyce Newman Giger and Ruth Davidhizar prior to using the model by Madeleine Leininger within the nursing care for the homeless people; such a hypothesis was proved. However, I recommend a check of the hypothesis in the course of more goal-directed research. The output of the thesis related to the practice is the possibility to apply the found out findings in the nursing care for homeless people to minimize possible conflicts, as well as their application for the purposes of more respectable and purposeful work with the homeless people, which could be without any frustration feelings related to the given nursing care.
