Nursing Care for seniors after hip joint fracture at after care Unit
JORDÁKOVÁ, Jitka
A femoral neck fracture is the most frequent injury among seniors. The solution is very demanding because of the senior polymorbidity. The treatment depends on the patient's overall condition whether the surgical or the conservative approach is applied. The aim of the work was to examine the specifics of the nursing care for a patient with a femoral neck fracture at a subsequent care department, further possibilities of subsequent care after the release from the subsequent care department and the quality of cooperation with the patient's family at the subsequent care department. Four research questions were set to achieve the goals. What specific activities do nurses apply to the nursing care for a patient with femoral neck fracture at a subsequent care department? What are the risks for a senior patient with femoral neck fracture? What are the possibilities of the further care for a patient after the release from the subsequent care department? What are the important areas of the cooperation with the family of a patient with the femoral neck fracture? Qualitative research was applied to the bachelor thesis preparation and the data collection was performed by means of semi structured interviews with nurses from the subsequent care department. The research results have shown that the nursing care for patients after the femoral neck fracture requires individual adaptation to each patient according to his/her condition, with the focus on the complex care, the risks or possible complications. It was also found out that the further possibilities of the care after patient release are dealt with by a social worker, who helps the patient's family find a social facility for the patient or provides information on possible home care. It was also found out that the cooperation with the patient's family is an individual matter and depends on the family relations. A multidisciplinary seminar focused on the issue of the nursing care for patients after the femoral neck fracture (Annex 1) is the output of the bachelor thesis.
