The needs satisfaction of children hospitalized in psychiatric hospital.
BLAŽKOVÁ, Eva
This thesis deals with the issue of meeting the needs of pediatric patients who have experienced hospitalization in one of the medical institutions providing pediatric psychiatric care. Development in childhood and adolescence is considered to be very complex, not only because of developmental changes. We can witness for ourselves the impact on our mental health of not having some of the basic or higher needs of life met. In the childhood period, the limitation of saturation of some of the needs is even more accentuated, and we therefore encounter situations where this lack of saturation can lead to the development of mental illness. These are then forced to be dealt with by hospitalisation in one of the psychiatric hospitals in the Czech Republic. These hospitalisations are often repeated, and the child patient spends a large part of its time in the facility. It is therefore important that during the hospitalization, he or she is supported by a medical team, of which nurses are an essential part, who will actively try to identify his or her needs and help him or her to meet them, and who will be empathetic and assertive throughout the time present. The aim of this study was to describe the satisfaction of bio-psycho-social needs of hospitalized pediatric patients, from the perspective of nursing staff, and from the perspective of pediatric patients themselves. This issue should continue to be addressed in order to prevent negative experiences with hospitalizations and thus to form a negative image towards health care. This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part, theoretical, deals with the history of psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry, the training of psychiatric nurses, mental illness in childhood, the division of childhood, the life needs of the child and the nursing process of the child with psychiatric illness. The second part, the practical part, consists of the results obtained from semi-structured interviews that were recorded with an electric tape recorder and then transcribed and categorized. Consequently, 5 categories emerged: the Physiological Needs, the Need for Safety and Security, the Need for Love and Belonging, the Need for Recognition and Self-esteem and the category Need for Self-Realization. Each of these categories was then divided into several subcategories, according to the informants' responses, and translated into tables and charts. Five paediatric patients and 3 nurses working in one of the child and adolescent psychiatry departments participated in the research survey. The results of our investigation showed that there are frequent disagreements and differing opinions in the claims of the two research groups. This suggests that this issue should continue to be addressed. This would prevent negative experiences of hospital admissions, reduce traumatic experiences, and thereby mitigate the formation of a negative image towards healthcare and establish healthier patient-person relationships.

Needs analysis of Generation Z in relation to the construction labour market
Juránková, Radka ; Pitronová, Almíra (referee) ; Pelčák, Svatopluk (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the analysis of the needs of generation Z in relation to the labor market in the construction industry. Currently, one of the biggest problems in the construction industry is the lack of labor on the market. This is largely due to the fact that the construction industry, by its very nature, does not have the opportunity to provide employees with other benefits like other industries (e.g. Home Office, etc.). The goal of the work is to find out what the Z generation's work preferences and requirements are, so that future employers can prepare for how the demands of the upcoming generations will change. And with the help of this knowledge, create a more favorable working environment and thus make work in the construction industry more attractive so that interest in working in this field increases.

Pain management in the recovery room of the anesthesiology department
FRÜHAUFOVÁ, Tereza
The diploma thesis is focused on the issue of patients experiencing postoperative pain in a Post Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU). The thesis is aimed at three basic goals. The first one is focused on the analysis of the pain a patient experiences in a PACU. The second goal is the in-depth comparison of the pain the patients experience after various surgeries and the third goal is to get the feedback on the nurses' approach to the pain assessment. The theoretical part of this thesis is focused on the detailed explanation and the division of pain, treatment of pain and the function and the equipment of a PACU. The research part of this thesis was carried out in the form of quantitative research. A form with 22 questions, which was targeted on nurses working at the PACU, was used for the data acquisition. The questions were aimed at obtaining detailed data related to the evaluation of postoperative pain, but also at obtaining the information regarding staffing in particular hospitals. 183 nurses working in 79 hospitals filled out the form. There was also monitoring of pain carried out with 83 patients in the PACU in the Military University Hospital Prague. The patients experienced various types of surgeries. The results could help to find suitable strategies of evaluating and postoperative pain treatment in the PACU. During the research, it became obvious that patients who underwent neurosurgical operations of the spine experience the most intense pain. On the contrary, patients who underwent urological surgeries experience the least intense pain According to nurses'opinion the most important factors in evaluating patient's pain are the verbal expression of the patients and the change of physiological functions. Neither the lenght of practice nor the education has statistically a significant influence on the final evaluation of patient's pain. The experienced nurses with long-term practice predominate in the PACU. Based on the information given by nurses, it is safe to assume that the current treatment of postoperative pain is sufficient. It's rather rare for a patient to have strong pain after running out of options in analgetic treatment. It's worth noting that there are significant differences in the staffing of the PACU across hospitals.

Social Needs of Single Mothers in Tábor
MATOUŠKOVÁ, Sára
This bachelor's thesis deals with the social needs of single mothers in Tabor. The aim of this thesis was to map out the social needs of single mothers in Tabor - to find out what social needs single mothers have and to identify key problems in fulfilling these needs. Two research questions were established: 1. What are the needs of single mothers? 2. What are the key problems in fulfilling their social needs? To achieve this goal, a qualitative research strategy was chosen, using the method of questioning and the technique of semi-structured interviews. The research sample, which was selected by purposive sampling, consisted of single mothers living in the city of Tabor. Interviews were conducted with a total of 6 communication partners. The information obtained was then processed using open coding in the Atlas.ti program. Two categories were created from the processed data. The research results showed that the communication partners have several social needs on which they agree. These include the need for social contact, social support, financial autonomy, and safety and security. The results also revealed that communication partners often share the problems that prevent them from fulfilling their needs. The main problems are lack of time, balancing work and family life, and finances. The results also present forms of help that communication partners believe could aid in the easier fulfilment of their social needs. The results of this bachelor's thesis can be used as informational material for social workers or social service organizations. The bachelor's thesis could also help with improving public awareness about this topic.

The needs of patients in the dialysis program and the role of the nurse in this issue
CHYTRÁČKOVÁ, Aneta
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the needs of patients in a dialysis program and the role of the nurse in this issue. Two objectives were established for this bachelor's thesis: To map the needs of patients in a dialysis program, and to determine the role of the nurse in patients undergoing dialysis. The work is divided into a theoretical and empirical part. In the theoretical part, the anatomy of the kidneys is briefly described, as well as the reasons for kidney failure. Subsequently, various elimination methods are described and explained, along with nutritional and exercise measures. The transplantation procedure is also briefly described. Attention is paid to the needs of patients, nursing care, and education. The empirical part was processed using qualitative research through semi-structured interviews focused on patients undergoing dialysis and nurses working in the dialysis center. The research sample consisted of 13 patients and 9 nurses. To achieve the set objectives, five research questions were created: What are the bio-psycho-social-spiritual needs of patients in a dialysis program? How does dialysis treatment affect patients' lives? What is the level of patient education before starting dialysis treatment? What is the role of the nurse in satisfying the needs of patients in a dialysis program? What is the role of the nurse in providing information to patients in a dialysis program? Our research has shown that dialysis generally has a negative impact on the quality of life of most of our respondents. Respondents are most negatively affected by thirst, the time demands of dialysis, poor sleep quality, changes in social needs, and overall fatigue after dialysis. Additionally, our research has shown that nurses in the dialysis center primarily fill the role of provider of nursing care, educator, and advisor who also provides emotional support. The results of the research serve as informational material for patients in the predialysis program and as potential recommendations for nurses working in dialysis centers.

Needs of patients and carers in palliative care
Oktábcová, Marie ; Mádlová, Ivana (advisor) ; Javůrková, Alena (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the needs of patients and caregivers in palliative care. The theoretical part defines the concept of palliative care, the forms of its provision and the specifics of the work of a nurse in palliative care. A separate chapter is devoted to needs and their evaluation. The aim of the work is to use a standardized questionnaire IPOS (Integrate Palliative Outcome Scale) to find out what are the differences in perceptions of needs between patients and their caring family members, as well as between patients and caring professionals - general nurses. It was found that the needs of patients are assessed by their caregivers differently from patients themselves. The biggest discrepancy between the assessment of patient's needs and caring family members were on the area of physical needs, specifically in the question of pain or dryness in the mouth. The biggest discrepancy between the evaluation of patients and nurses was in the psychological needs, in particular the level of depression. Professionals have evaluated the palliative patient needs better than caring family members. However, none of the nurses and families answers to the standardized questionnaire were 100% in agreement with patient responses. Use of a measuring tool to assess the needs of patients in the palliative...

The changing needs of women during pregnancy
VAŇKOVÁ, Támar
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of changing needs during pregnancy. It is divided into a theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes pregnancy and the impact it has on a woman's needs. The thesis delves into different aspects of needs according to 11 functional health patterns by Marjory Gordon. The goal of the practical part was to find out how pregnant women deal with the changes to their needs. Two research questions were posed, the first: Which of the needs do the women feel is the most difficult to fulfill?, and the second: Who do the women most frequently turn to when it comes to issues about fulfilling their needs? Data was obtained through qualitative research which took place in March 2022. The research was carried out through semistructured in-depth interviews. Ten pregnant women took part in the research. Their age range was 25-37. For women F3, F4, F5, F7, F8 it was their first pregnancy. For women F1 and F2 it was their second pregnancy, and for women F6, F9, F10 it was their third time being pregnant. The interviews were recorded using a mobile phone and consequently transcribed using a pen and paper method. The research shows that the needs women find the most difficult to fulfill were the need for rest and sexual need. F2, F5, and F7 had problem with excretion. For F7 it was difficult to realize that she was more irritable during pregnancy. For F4 and F6 it was difficult to deal with the changes in needs during pregnancy because they affected the women's relationships with the outside world. The research further shows that the women most often used the internet to search for information. Apart from that, in case of problems F3, F4, F8 a F9 would turn to their family and friends. Another source was literature and the woman's occupation - F7 is a midwife. The women also sought information with their gynecologists, and lastly they would use their own knowledge from previous pregnancies. F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F8, F9 and F10 accepted the changes to their needs. The women expected the changes, viewed them as natural and as a part of pregnancy. However, F7 could not accept the fact that pregnancy affected her behavior and made her more irritable. She consulted this change with her psychotherapist. Other ways of dealing with the changing needs were to look for information about pregnancy and to share the changes with loved ones or professionals (a psychotherapist, gynecologist, midwife). The women also took measures which helped them deal with certain needs. For example, due to constipation F2 increased her fiber intake and drank more water. The benefit of this thesis is the possibility of presenting the acquired data at seminars for midwives.
