KRÁLOVÁ, Iveta
The theoretical part describes sleep as a physiological process and its individual stages, the most frequent sleep disorders and sleeplessness. In addition, this part accentuates the diagnostics and examination of sleep disorders, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment and the Ten Rules of Sleep Hygiene. Two objectives were set in the practical part. The first objective was to ascertain how the clients of the retirement home run by the subsidised organisation Domov pro seniory Třebíč - Manž. Curieových, p.o. were informed about sleep disorders, in particular about their causes and treatment and the sleep hygiene. The second objective was to ascertain what the sleep environment of the clients looked like. The objectives were attained through qualitative research. The selected questioning method involved the technique of a semi-directed interview with ten clients and ten nurses. The research was conducted from 3 January to 14 January 2011. After the processing and evaluation of case studies it has been ascertained that nine of ten clients are not informed about sleep disorders. Five of ten clients are not informed about the causes of sleep disorders. Seven of ten clients are not informed about the treatment of sleep disorders and ten clients do not know the Ten Rules of Sleep Hygiene. The research has shown that ten clients are satisfied with the sleep environment and the temperature in the sleeping room. Nine of ten clients are satisfied with their bed and sufficient darkness for sleep. Based on the semi-directed interviews it has been ascertained that six of ten nurses are informed about sleep disorders. Ten nurses know the causes and treatment of sleep disorders. Nine of ten nurses know the Ten Rules of Sleep Hygiene. Ten nurses think that the clients have sufficient darkness for sleep and are satisfied with their bed. This bachelor thesis will serve as a feedback for the retirement home, allow extension of both the lay and expert public awareness of the given issue and may be useful for the students of assisting professions.
