Mumps among adolescents and young adults.
BÖHMOVÁ, Monika
Objectives of the work The aim of the work was to determine the course of mumps in adolescents and young adults and to map the specifics of nursing care in adolescents and young adults from the point of view of nurses of general practitioners. The following research questions have been chosen: What was the course of mumps in adolescents and young adults? What are the specifics of nursing care in adolescents and young adults from the point of view of nurses of general practitioners? Methods used To supply the necessary information was elected qualitative research using in-depth interviews with patients who have had mumps and nurses working with general practitioners for adults or children and adolescents. Interviews were captured by a recorder, recorded on the phone or written, and processed by direct transcription. Results The rewritten interviews were subjected to detailed analysis by open coding, using the paper and pencil method. From the data analysis, a total of six categories were formed, divided into two groups: Nurse interviews and Interviews with patients with mumps. Categories from interviews with nurses are: Vaccination, Measures in mumps, Mumps course according to nurses. The categories of interviews with mumps patients are: Collaboration with medical staff, Patient information and vaccine used, and Mumps course in patients with mumps. The individual categories are assigned subcategories, which are encoded to important information and all are included and illustrated in the various schemes. Conclusion From interviews with respondents, we found out how mumps had progressed by adolescents and young adults. It was found that half the respondents had more serious complications, but without lasting consequences, just in one case, the hearing remained impaired, the other serious complications after the cure disappeared. For nurses the result showed what are the specifics of nursing care in adolescents and young adults from the point of view of nurses practitioners. In the main issue, all nurses were oriented correctly. We have found that nurses have a minimum of experience with this disease because they have encountered it sporadically in their practice, and they know it only theoretically, although the incidence of mumps has increased in recent years and nurses should gain more experience. This finding may result in insufficient awareness of compliance with all treatment measures. The results obtained suggest that it would be advisable for doctors and their nurses who did not experience this disease to attend an education seminar focused on mumps, their symptoms, treatment, possible complications and anti-epidemic measures, with which the nursing care of mumps is related.

A comparison of nureses' attitudes to education in the Czech Republic and Slovakia
Bradáčová, Mária ; Janečková, Hana (advisor) ; Svobodová, Hana (referee)
Bakalářská práce "Porovnávání postojů sester ke vzdělávání v České republice a na Slovensku" prezentuje vývoj vzdělávání sester na Slovensku a v České republice po roce 1990 a analyzuje postoje sester z obou zemí k současnému systému vzdělávání. Práce je rozdělena do šesti kapitol. V teoretické části popisujeme proces změn ve vzdělávání sester po roce 1990 v obou zemích až po současný stav pregraduálního a postgraduálního vzdělávání sester. Cílem empirické části bylo zjistit názory sester z praxe na současné vzdělávání na Slovensku a v České republice a zároveň porovnat jejich postoje. Výzkum jsme realizovali v Nemocnici na Bulovce v Praze a v Univerzitní nemocnici Louisa Pasteura v Košicích, na anesteziologicko-resuscitačních odděleních a na chirurgických odděleních. Podle výsledků dotazníkového šetření hodnotí sestry obou zemí kvalifikační přípravu sester po transformaci vzdělávání spíše nespokojeně až velmi nespokojeně a řešení této problematiky shodně vidí v lepším finančním ohodnocení, zkrácení doby studia a diferenciaci kompetencí v praxi podle dosaženého vzdělání. Na základě výzkumu navrhujeme zvýšit povědomí sester o potřebě současného systému vzdělávání, samotný vzdělávací proces by se měl zaměřit především na zvýšení úrovně praktické přípravy absolventů a mělo by se ponechat jen...

Nutrition and drinking regime of nurses on selected wards
Neradová, Anna ; Lukášová Jeřábková, Lenka (advisor) ; Kulhavá, Miluše (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with eating and drinking regime of nurses on selected Wards. I chose this topic because I think it is very actual and it is important to talk about it. Nursing job is very demanding in many ways. The shift work is very hard and it can significantly interfers into life quality of nurses. Disruption of the cirkadial rhythm can result in sleeping disorders and many serious diseases. It is very often that to those difficulties contributes nutrition and eating regime. The chosen example of nurses were working in days and nights shifts. The main goal of this study was to survey the eating and drinking habits of nurses working two shifts. The partial goals of this research were to find out the dietary conditions of nurses working two shifts, to determine whether if there is any increase / decrease in body weight (more than five kilograms) from taking up the present job, if sisters in two shifts eat regularly five recommended doses. Then to determine how many nurses from the research sample suffer from digestive and dyspeptic difficulties and to find out if they drink recommended amount of fluids during their work. The research was conducted within the framework of an unnamed hospital in Prague. The data were collected using non-standardized anonymous questionnaire of our own...

Occupational regulation and its influence on the labor market: evidence from reforms in the Czech Republic
Ptáčníková, Marie ; Pertold-Gebicka, Barbara (advisor) ; Gok, Ugur (referee)
This thesis examines the impact of a 2004 reform that increased educational requirements for a regulated profession, namely nurses, on earnings level for both waged and salaried employees, and employment within nurse profession in the Czech Republic. Recently, a reform in the opposite direction regarding educational requirements for general nurses is in the approval process. It makes this analysis relevant. Similar country-based studies contracted by the European Commission regarding occupational regulation show mixed results, what additionally motivates this study. To identify effects of the reform a linear probability model and a difference-in-differences analysis were used. Empirical results suggest a negative effect on nurses' salaries with respect to doctors. In the case of wages, the effect appears to be fluctuating. As for the employment, a decrease in the probability of pursuing a nurse profession was identified for the years following the reform, but mostly insignificant. In general, this thesis shows that the reform had slightly negative short-term effect on nurses' earnings and employment levels. Due to few after-reform yearly observations it is challenging to make long-term conclusions.

Continuing Professional Development of Nurses: a public policy perspective.
Syrovátková, Tereza ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with a topic of continuing professional development of nurses in the Czech Republic. The text is divided into two mutually connected dimensions. The first one focuses on a nurse as a stakeholder with certain motivations, strategies, and attitudes. The second dimension discusses the existing system of continuing professional development for nurses in terms of its implementation, form, as well as dysfunctional elements, and future challenges. The thesis shows a connection between the above dimensions. The formalised system of continuing professional development is supposed to affect nursing profession. At the same time, nurses are expected to be involved in the decision-making process. These assumptions are faced with the reality in the thesis. A qualitative study among nurses and experts leads to a conclusion that the current system does not fulfil nurses' both professional (in terms of quality and relevance of the education provided) and personal (financial and time burden) needs. Thus it hardly achieves its original goals. Should the system be changed, the nurses must engage in the decision-making process, which they currently do not. The continuing professional development might serve as one of the solutions to the insufficient political participation of nurses. Despite...
