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.

The importance of basal stimulation in patients in vigilant coma on intensive care.
KUČEROVÁ, Soňa
The main aim of this work is, to explore how basal stimulation affects the process of coma vigil in patients, when carried out only by trained practitioners. And also, to explore how basal stimulation affects the process of coma vigil in patients, when carried out by family members with the assistance of practitioners. To achieve the aim, a qualitative research will be used in the form of case studies and interviews. The research team involves patients in coma vigil, family members and practitioners performing basal stimulation to affected patients. The purpose of this assignment is to prove that the involvement of family members in the process of basal stimulation significantly improves the effectiveness of the treatment. In our profession, we can often see patients with impairments of perception, movement or other disorders. While a human body is in a coma, it can still perceive emotions and other surrounding influences that affect the body. To improve the quality of care that these patients receive, the concept of basal stimulation serves as one of the alternatives of treatment. The implementation of this concept shows positive effects on the overall health of the client when in cooperation with family members. The results of this assignment may be used as a foundation when producing seminars and procedures that serve to educate the healthcare staff and families, in order to achieve the best results in a given issue.
