The use of elements of the Basal stimulation concept in long-term intensive nursing care department
 KAFKOVÁ, Tereza
The bachelor thesis is focused on the use of the elements of the Basal stimulation concept in a long-term intensive care unit. The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to find out how nurses incorporate the concept of Basal stimulation into the care of patients on the LTINC unit. To achieve this aim, one research question was set, "How do nurses incorporate the concept of Basal stimulation into the care of patients on the LTINC unit?" The data collection technique was semi-structured interviews and overt non-participant observation. The research population consisted of 5 nurses working in the long-term intensive care unit of a selected hospital in the Vysočina Region. Based on the analysis of the interview data, 4 categories and 3 subcategories were created. The data collected by observation was divided into 6 categories. From the results of our work, it is clear that the nurses who formed our research population incorporate elements of the Basal stimulation concept into the care of patients hospitalized in the LTINC unit in every contact with them. The most used elements of this concept on this ward are the initial touch, addressing, positioning, placing patients in vibrating and conventional chairs and the use of the patient's favourite toilet aids. Patients most often respond to initial touch combined with addressing and their initial reactions include eye fixation, general calming and reduction of spasticity. Recommendations for practice: We recommend to include only 4 types of selected scents into the care of patients using olfactory stimulation.
