KOLÁŘOVÁ, Markéta
This Bachelor's Thesis deals with the issue of the difficulty, or level of physical and psychological demand, of nurses at standard level internal hospital wards. The internal ward is one of the basic wards included in hospital care. It is here that patients with internal organ ailments are hospitalized, and treatment lies in a conservative approach. The work of nurses at a standard level internal ward consists in providing quality health and nursing care. The nurse knows all the illnesses that occur here as well as their treatment and complications. She is also expected to be empathic and patient. Because she is in daily communication with doctors, patients, and their families, she must know all the principles of assertive communication. The job description of the nurse includes satisfying the needs of patients, participating in diagnostic operations, fulfilling the orders of the doctor, and preparing nursing documentation. The sister does not always witness a happy ending to each treatment. All these factors place a burden on the entire organism from both a psychological and physical standpoint. The objective of this Bachelor's Thesis is to map out the difficulty of the work of nurses at a standard level internal ward. To achieve this objective, qualitative research investigation was carried out using a semi-structured interview. The research base was formed by nurses from the internal wards of the hospital in České Budějovice (Nemocnice České Budějovice a. s.) and the Jindřichův Hradec hospital (Nemocnice Jindřichův Hradec a. s.). The interviews with the respondents were transcribed into case reports and further processed into categorization tables. The results clearly show that the work of nurses at standard level internal wards is very difficult and demanding from both the physical and the psychological side. The case reports and tables also show another piece of important information ? signs of ?burn-out? syndrome and the influence of stress on the work of the nurses, relaxation techniques of the nurses, satisfaction with financial compensation, and much more. On the basis of the results, an informational brochure for nurses was drawn up that includes relaxation techniques such as autogenous training, meditation, and yoga.
