Use of NIC, NOC classification of patients after spinal surgery
MACHOVÁ, Karolina
Generally, the main topic of the thesis is the use of NIC and NOC classification of patients after a spinal surgery. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with a trauma of the spine as well as a non-traumatic affection of the spine and its symptoms, diagnostics, and treatment. Further, it focuses on nursing care of patients before and after a spine surgery. Firstly, general terms of the nursing care, such as control of vital functions, are analysed. The next part is devoted to the specifics of nursing care with respect to every segment of the spine after surgery. The next chapter of the theoretical part of the thesis describes the nursing process with emphasis on every phase thereof, and related medical documentation with its use and rules. Moreover, the respective chapter deals with the nursing diagnoses NANDA, NIC and NOC classifications and Alliance 3N. The first goal of the thesis was to find out what knowledge nurses have regarding nursing care for patients after spinal surgery. My research has revealed that the majority of nurses are well-oriented in nursing care for patient after spinal surgery, despite some of nurses' lack of knowledge. The second goal set for this thesis was to determine what are the benefits of NIC, NOC classifications for providing nursing care for patients after spinal surgery. According to the results of my research, we can conclude that most nurses consider the classification of NIC and NOC in practice rather unhelpful. This piece of information also answers the established research question: Is NIC and NOC classification according to nurses beneficial in practice? Furthermore, the following two goals: to find out what NIC interventions nurses use by patients after spinal surgery. To find out what goals of NOC classification are typically used by nurses, are contained in Tables 3-10. The result of the research question, what do nurses think about the NIC and NOC classification, showed mostly negative opinions. For another research question: How satisfied are nurses with the created nursing documentation with respect to nursing care for patients after spinal surgery, we found out that most nurses are rather dissatisfied with the submitted nursing documentation. Furthermore, two hypotheses were established: H1: Knowledge of the principles of nursing care for patients after spinal surgery are affected by the experience, was rejected. H2: Knowledge of the principles of nursing care for patients after spinal surgery are affected by education, was also rejected. Despite the fact, that NIC and NOC classifications are not used in health care services in the Czech Republic, many nurses knew them. Because of the fact that many nurses have rather negative attitude with respect to the classifications, we can assume that if the classifications were adapted to the conditions of the Czech healthcare system and there would be certain changes such as simplification or shortening of content, nurses might have a more positive approach to the classifications. Therefore, NIC and NOC classification could be part of the nursing standards of practice, as they are verified tools for providing nursing care.

Usage of NIC and NOC clasifications on patients with complete artificial hip joint.
KULHÁNKOVÁ, Barbora
Abstract The theoretical part of the thesis entitled The Use of NIC and NOC Classifications at Patients with the Total Hip Arthroplasty deals with the problem of the total hip replacement, educating patients before surgery and the regime which must be observed by the patient during the hospitalization and when being discharged from the hospital to home nursing. Further, the nurse has been described as a provider of rehabilitation nursing cooperating with the physiotherapist. The thesis is concerned with the nursing process, it preoccupies with the terminology in the health care, the issue of NANDA, NIC and NOC classifications and the Alliance 3N. Three goals of the thesis were defined: 1. to find out what types of NIC activities are typically used by nurses within the care of patients with total hip replacement. 2. to verify the application of NIC an NOC classifications in the care of patients with total hip replacement. 3. to investigate what sorts of the NOC indicators are typically used by the nurses in the care of patients with total hip replacement. The combination of the quantitative and qualitative research is applied. The four hypotheses were determined in the frame of the quantitative survey: 1. Nursing diagnoses are assessed as not being beneficial by the nurses. 2. Ensuring of tools facilitating the movement is a commonly preferred kind of an intervention by the nurses. 3. The knowledge of NIC and NOC terms is influenced by the previous education. 4. The satisfaction of the nurses with the nursing documentation is influenced by the length of practice. Data was collected by means of the questionnaires. One research query was established for the qualitative research: 1. What is the standpoint of the nurses on the NIC and NOC classifications in the care of the patient with total hip replacement? Data was collected by means of the formed nursing documentation based on the NIC and NOC classifications. The semi-structured interviews were used, as well. H1 remained unconfirmed. H2, H3 and H4 were not statistically validated. The NIC and NOC classifications are generally classified as not being beneficial for the nursing practice by the nurses.

Care of adolescents before and after operation of phimosis using classification systems NANDA, NIC and NOC
KOŽÍŠKOVÁ, Zlata
This thesis focuses on the issue of nursing care for adolescent boys who have undergone phimosis surgery. The nursing care is then evaluated according to the NANDA, NIC and NOC classification systems. The theoretical part deals with topics such as adolescence, phimosisa disease of the external genitalia of a man, preoperative and postoperative care for boys with phimosis, and the classification taxonomy of the NANDA, NIC and NOC classification systems, which represent the comprehensive standardized, but still evolving, nursing language. Available Czech and foreign literary sources were used for the compilation of the theoretical part of the stated subject. The empirical part of the thesis was processed using qualitative and quantitative research methods: content analyzes, modelling, thought experiment, structured and semi-structured interviews, and qualitative data analysis. Four objectives were defined. The way adolescent boys perceive and experience the bio-psycho-social aspects of the problems that the pre-op and post-op period brings, has been assessed using the NANDA, NIC and NOC classification systems. There were 46.66% of respondents with higher education, 53.34% of respondents with secondary education, and eight adolescent boys who had received phimosis surgery, all of whom contributed to the assessment. It was found that adolescent boys initially addressed their physician regarding the phimosis problem, because they had a sense of trust and anonymity, but also to some degree because of necessity. It is surprising that young men with this type of personal problem rather speak to their mothers. When it comes to peer relationships, the boys confide the problem to their peers, but they do not ask them for help in this area. The boys named the internet as the main source of information. The following assessments were made using the Fehring methods for determining the weighted scores. Out of 13 nursing diagnoses within the NNN classification systems there were 112 major and minor characteristics (41.18%) selected by the university educated respondents, 80 major and minor characteristics (29,41%) selected by by the secondary school educated respondents, and nine major and minor characteristics (3.31%) were selected by the adolescent boys. Out of the 15 nursing interventions published in the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), 203 major and minor characteristics (55.31%) were chosen by the university educated respondents and 235 major and minor characteristics (64.03%) were chosen by the secondary school educated respondents. Out of the 11 expected nursing outcomes published in the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC), 39 major and minor characteristics (15.42%) were selected by the university educated respondents, while 34 major and minor characteristics (13.44%) were selected by the secondary school educated respondents. By implementing the NANDA, NIC and NOC classification systems in nursing care one can expect to find solutions that help the professionals in nursing care to apply the nursing process effectively, and that allow nursing care to focus more on the individual needs of patients and to be improved in all areas.

OBERFALCEROVÁ, Eva
The thesis deals with the application of NIC, NOC classifications in cases of patients with chest drainage. Nurses use nursing classification, nursing process and nursing documentation for their work to make the patient care more effective. Several objectives were set to meet the main target of the thesis. Firstly, to map nursing care specifics of patients with chest drainage; secondly, to map nurses' knowledge of chest drainage care; thirdly, to map nurses' satisfaction with nursing documentation; fourthly, to find out which NIC activities are usually used by nurses in the care of patients with chest drainage; fifthly, to find out which NOC indicators are usually judged by nurses in the care of patients with chest drainage; sixthly, to find out the benefits of NIC, NOC classification in the care of patients with chest drainage. For the practical part of the thesis, the combination of qualitative and quantitative research was chosen. The quantitative research was conducted by a survey. The studied group consisted of 152 nurses. For the quantitative research, we set up the following hypothesis. H1 - the care of patients with chest drainage depands on particular department. H2 - nurses' knowledge of chest drainage care depands on particular department. H3 - nurses' satisfaction with nursing documentation depends on their education. The qualitative reserch was hold in two phases. In the first phase, a nursing documentation was created on the basis of NIC and NOC classification related to care of chest tubes. In the second phase of the qualitative research, we used a semi-structured interview to interview ten nurse who had worked with the particular nursing documentation and who had met the criteria for the selection of experts acording to Fehring . Several research questions were set for the qualitative research. What do the nurses think about the particular nursing documentation?

Nursing process in newborn with hyperbilirubinemia
SEKALOVÁ, Monika
The thesis deals with Nursing process with neonates diagnosed with hyperbilirubinemia. The theoretical part focuses on the physiological and premature new-born babies, anatomy and physiology of blood, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia problems, nursing process and NANDA and NIC classification systems. The practical part contains research results. Qualitative method was used for the research and it was carried out at the neonatal department in Nemocnice Ceske Budejovice, a.s. (Ceske Budejovice Hospital). The first objective was to determine the specifics of nursing care for full-term new-borns and premature new-borns diagnosed with hyperbilirubinemia. It was found that the specifics were mainly in monitoring of the physiological functions, measurement frequency of transcutaneous bilirubinometry, in positioning the new-born during phototherapy, in the prescribed temperature inside the incubator and in children's diets. All information necessary was collected through interviews with nurses, from documentation content analysis and by observation. Based on the information, case studies were developed. The research sample consisted of two new-born babies diagnosed with hyperbilirubinemia. The second objective of the thesis was to determine nurses´ position when using NANDA classification systems to diagnose Neonatal jaundice and NIC Phototherapy: new-born. It was found that nurses would change some defining characteristics and related factors to diagnose Neonatal jaundice (00194) as well asinterventions from NIC Phototherapy: new-born (6924). Most of them agreed that they would not like to use these classifications during care of the new-borns. Information was collected using structured interviews with three neonatal nurses and two midwives. The results could be used to improve nursing care for neonates diagnosed with hyperbilirubinemia.
