BUCHOVÁ, Nikola
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the issue of elderly falls in a healthcare facility. The aim of this thesis was to map the causes of falls in the elderly. Furthermore, the aim was to identify risk factors, describe the consequences of falls, and identify nurses' preventive measures in preventing senior falls in a healthcare facility. The theoretical part describes aging, then the theoretical part mentions geriatric syndromes, different causes of falls and risk factors of falls. The next chapter describes falls prevention, where compensatory aids are included and described. The last chapter briefly described patient education in a healthcare facility. The second part of this thesis is the empirical part. The empirical part was prepared by means of qualitative research, using the method of semi-structured interview. In the research, 2 interviews were created, in one interview 12 questions were created for nurses and in the other interview 15 questions were created for hospitalised patients. Seven nurses and seven hospitalized patients participated in the interviews. Data were processed using open coding, by the pencil and paper method. Five categorization groups were created for the interviewed nurses and four categorization groups for the hospitalized patients. The results in the empirical section show that the most common causes of falls include inappropriate footwear, wet floors, poor lighting and poor use of guardrails (barriers). Risk factors most commonly include associated patient illnesses, age, change of environment, poor accessibility of signalling equipment and use of medication. Regarding sequelae after falls, hematomas, lacerations and pain were the most common. Preventive measures for nurses are most commonly signalling devices, grab rails in bathroom, handrails in corridors. Other preventive measures include, appropriate footwear, proper lighting, bed adjustments, and the use of bed rails (barriers).

Sochorová, Jana ; ing.arch. Lukáš Ležatka, Ph.D (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor) ; Berková, Petra (advisor)
Corner building is located in part of city Brno – Zidenice. Object is separate on two function parts – first one is the healthcare center with practitioner and specialist doctors offices, that part is situated in the first floor. Second part is the flats and the parking in the basement belong to those flats. Land lot has a shape of rectangle same as the building. Modul scheme of columns divides object into square parts. By gradually deleting these square parts created object into terraced apartment building. These terraces are pointed into the courtyard. Deleting one square part in first floor plan is made an atrium space accessible from waiting room of healthcare center. Terraces for each apartments in another floors are made by same way. Object makes private spaces for its users. Terraces are opened on east, north and west. Important and characteristic part of object is shape of fourth floor, where is wall bevelled inside. Point of this bevel is to make building optically smaller because of neighbouring buildings are lower than apartment house. In future we assume with increasing buildings. Next important part is irregularly arrangement of windows. Main function is to lighten room as much as possible, but even architectural expression of house. Irregular windows of different sizes are in some parts of house added with shiplap facade window system, which allows big format glass and ventilation. Behind these big windows is sliding patio doors.
