Ensuring comfort and safety for newborns and infants
JELÍNKOVÁ, Karolína
The bachelor thesis focuses on a specific issue concerning comfort and safety establishment for newborns and infants. Comfort and safety is the key component of newborn and infant care. This bachelor thesis focuses on paediatric nurses´ and mothers´ perspective on the comfort and the safety ensurement of the newborn and the infant, furthermore focuses on the education of mothers provided in this field by the paediatric nurse and on the way by which comfort and safety of the newborn and the infant is ensured by the mother in the home environment. Four objectives were set in the bachelor thesis. The first objective was to describe the perspective of pediatric nurses on ensuring comfort and safety in newborns and infants. The second objective was to determine the way how to educate mothers in the field of providing comfort and safety to newborns and infants. The third objective was to describe the mothers' perspective on ensuring comfort and safety of newborns and infants and the last objective chosen was to find out the method of ensuring comfort and safety of newborns and infants by mothers in the home environment. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis defines the concepts of the neonatal and the infant period, and follows up basic human needs, particularly the need of security and safety and the need of love and together belonging. The theoretical part also describes possibilities of comfort and safety ensurement of newborns and infants, such as skin to skin contact, bonding, newborn bathing including skin care, proper handling, safe sleep, and finally the use of baby massage, aromatherapy and swaddling. The research part of the thesis was based on qualitative survey, using an interview method. The data collection was done using in-depth interview technique with pediatric nurses and mothers of newborns and infants. Data analysis was done using pencil paper method. Subsequently, categories of in-depth interviews were created separately for paediatric nurses and mothers. Five categories were created for the baby nurses: Providing the Need for Security and Safety from the Baby Nurses' Perspective, The way of the Baby Nurse Education Conduct, Content of the Education, Use of Alternative Methods in the Child Care from the Baby Nurses' Perspective and Preparation for the Child Care. For mothers, five categories were also created, which include: Providing the Need of Security and Safety from the Mothers' Perspective, The Education, The Sleep, Use of Alternative Methods in the Child Care from the Mothers' Perspective, and The Layette Set. Corresponding sub-categories were then created for the categories. The research revealed that paediatric nurses just as mothers had the same perspective on providing comfort and security for the newborn and infant. They agreed that it is necessary that mother and baby are to be in constant contact, including cuddling, caressing and talking to the baby, generally speaking to be the loving mother. The research survey also showed us that mothers are not sufficiently educated in the area of handling the newborn and infant and in safe sleeping. Based on the results of the research, two educational leaflets were developed containing the principles of proper handling and safe sleep for newborn and infant.

Manipulace a handling novorozence pro správný psychomotorický vývoj
HYŠKOVÁ, Anna
This bachelor thesis deals with how to handle and hold a newborn to ensure the baby's proper psychomotor development. It addresses the influence of the way of handling and holding a newborn on the baby's development and how parents should handle and hold their newborn properly. It explores the most frequent mistakes parents make when handling and holding a newborn. The theoretical part defines the term "newborn" and their "psychomotor development". It includes a description of general handling and holding guidelines, including proper and improper methods. Handling with equipment is also covered in this section. The practical part consists of a semi-structured interview and practical training and includes an assessment of the parents' performance. The research sample included 17 parents and 12 newborns. The parents were trained in how to correctly hold their baby, focusing on the smoothness, quality and safety of holding. Handling and holding included: lifting and lowering a newborn, position for burping, carrying on the side and up curled up in a ball, the "tiger in the tree" position and curled-up position, prone position, sleeping position and method of changing the diaper. During the final inspection after 5 to 8 weeks the trained methods were evaluated, and the development of the baby's predilection head posture was assessed. The thesis highlights the most common mistakes parents make when handling and holding a newborn. It can therefore be used to eliminate the mistakes both by the public, mainly parents, and by professionals, e.g. by prenatal course instructors. The thesis can also be used as a basis for a more detailed study on the topic and for compiling more extensive training materials for prenatal course education.

Prevention of sudden unexpected postnatal collapse of the newborn from the perspective of pregnant women and delivery room nursing staff caring for the newborn
MAŘINCOVÁ, Lucie
SUPC can occur in any newborn regardless of gender. Most often, this collapse occurs in the first two hours of a newborn's life during the so-called skin-to-skin contact that takes place immediately after birth in the delivery room. If the nursing staff caring for the newborn in the delivery room monitor the newborn's physiological functions throughout the skin-to-skin contact and educate the parents about the safe conduct of skin-to-skin contact in the delivery room and the subsequent care of the newborn, the incidence of this collapse can be greatly reduced. In the theoretical part of the thesis, we describe the latest knowledge about SUPC, anatomy of postpartum adaptation, first treatment of the newborn, possible causes of SUPC, risk factors from both the newborn and the mother. Furthermore, we discuss education by the pediatric nurse in the prevention of SUPC and last but not least we describe cardiopulmonary resuscitation of the newborn. The practical part is an evaluation of the research investigation, which included two research samples. The research itself was conducted both qualitatively and quantitatively. The aim of the qualitative investigation was to describe the roles of delivery room nursing staff in the prevention of SUPC. The aim of the quantitative investigation was to map pregnant women's awareness of SUPC and neonatal first aid.
