Sensory activation and its use in providing nursing care.
PROKEŠOVÁ, Simona
Sense activation in direct nursing care about elderly people offers a conceptual framework how to provide an individualized nursing care. From the demographical point of view seniors will be on the increase, in this case it is spoken about an insufficiently guaranteed way of providing services which make the life of seniors longer and improved. Contemporary services are adjusted for acute care and mainly managing of acute state of a client. Policy, which would lead to improve care in domestic environment and improvement of offered services in institutions, is a priority of the Czech Republic. The bachelor work is written as a teoretical one. The aim of this work is to describe a method of Sense activation in the context of realisation of nursing care and subsequently to compare this method in our country as well as in the countries where the method came into the existence. To carry out the aims, it was used the secondary analysis of data to present documents related to the topic. Sense activation plays a great potenciality in elderly care, overaged and demented people. This targeted group of people just loses sense of taste of life and their life goes in an incorrect direction. The aim is so that the old age would be at least high quality according to possibilities of each person. Nurses, who take care of these sick people, can help by this method to keep, restore abilities, competences of a working day, support and maintain the level of self-sufficiency of the patient. The work is divided in several chapters. The first chapter describes a current condition, whose part is to sketch the origin of the concept, specification of the term Sense activation, old age and ageing, dementia and Montessori project for seniors. The second chapter is an analytic part of the work where we describe a researched problem. We find a summary of the aim of the work in this chapter. It means the description of the method of Sense activation in nursing care and consequently a comparison of activation in the Czech Republic and Austria. In the last chapter we engage the evaluation of the results and recommendation for establishing the method in practice. The goal of Sense activation is to spread the method into most of sanitary facilities with nursing care. It is needed to bring a change from the management to all employees by the right way of widening. It is necessary to have a team cooperation. The main difference of the method in the Czech Republic and Austria is in the time of the effect. In Austria this method has begun to develop since 2008, it is more widespread and developed. Evaluation of results and recommendation for practice: Unfortunately the elements of activation appear unintentionally and unmanagedly in some old people´s homes. The main goal of Sense activation is to map its points, to describe, to teach and to employ by all nursing in most organisations with elderly care. If we manage to find thanks to this method the second and the last home by a client in his life, we will fulfil its aim. Conclusion: The contribution of this work is to understand the compact concept and how to improve the quality of seniors´ life and clients with the disease of dementia. Simultaneously it could be useful for the people who work with such clients and for organisations which have not met this successful method so far.
