The care for physiological newborns in the period of postpartum adaptation from the point of view of parents and pediatric nurses.
MUSELOVÁ, Jitka
The bachelor thesis deals with the care of physiological newborns in the period of postpartum adaptation from the perspective of parents and nurses. The work is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes the care of physiological newborns in postpartum adaptation, the physiology of postpartum adaptation of the newborn, the role of nurses and birth plans. The practical part includes the processing and evaluation of the results obtained in the research survey. Two goals were set for the bachelor thesis. The first goal was to describe the key and most frequently discussed points of care for newborns in the delivery room and partly in the area of physiological newborns. The second goal was to identify those parts of care that are most often a source of discrepancies between the perception of parents and health professionals. A semi-structured interview was chosen to meet these objectives. The interview contained 42 questions and was conducted with ten participants. Five pediatric nurses working in the neonatology ward and 5 mothers hospitalized after giving birth at the sextuplet station were selected. Based on the results, it was found that the most common points discussed in newborn care are mainly communication about overall care and procedures. Mothers sometimes have specific wishes regarding decontamination of the conjunctival sac and the form of vitamin K administration to the newborn. The most common discrepancy was found in these points, and despite these the most common points, the examination of the newborn on the mother's chest is mentioned. Mothers sometimes have specific wishes regarding decontamination of the conjunctival sac or administration of vitamin K to newborns, and these areas of care are most often discussed. The research found that the most common source of disagreement between the idea of parents and health professionals is the lack of valid information about the overall care of the newborn.

The effect of addictive substance abuse during pregnancy on newborn
Novotná, Michaela ; Břízová, Vlastimila (advisor) ; Lorenz, Andrea (referee)
The theoretical part of the thesis deals with addictions in pregnancy and its consequences on the newborn. Addiction is the ever-emerging problem. The usage of substances is no exception in a population of pregnant women. The most commonly used substances are both socially tolerated alcohol and nicotine. Despite lower numbers there also addiction to heroin, marijuana and meth. Usage affects not only the woman but also her unborn child. Newborn babies are born with low birth weight, withdrawal syndromes, congenital developmental defects and are also at risk of death. Everything is depending on the substance and the amount used by a pregnant woman. These women and their children require a special and comprehensive care. In the practical part we deal with the degree of the mother's awareness of the consequences of substance abuse. Research was conducted using a questionnaire which women fill voluntarily and anonymously. Correctly filled 100% of the returned questionnaires (103). As we expected in our hypotheses, the most commonly used addictive substance between the respondents was nicotine, which have taken a maximum of 5 cigarettes per day. Furthermore, the questionnaire has confirmed the hypothesis that more than 50% of women have knowledge about the negative effects of substance abuse in pregnancy...

The first minutes of the life physiological newborn in the mother's eyes
PRŮCHOVÁ, Kateřina
The first minutes of life of newborn individuals and the way they spend them are very important moments. A new human is born to this world from the long-familiar environment which provided them with great security and now they are coming into a totally different environment. Our objective is to make this transition as natural as possible. The most important is to let mother and newborn together as much as possible. This way we give them feeling of safety and security, the newborn will be able to listen to the mother´s heart beat and their first mutual glances occur. We can negatively influenced those moments either if we interfere their course too much by doing procedures which could be postponed off the immediate post-delivery period or if we are not able to offer the environment which is plesant for mother and newborn. In the research part of this thesis I used a qualitative research method. The aim of the study was to describe current nursing practices for physiological newborn after birth in a delivery room and compare them with the recommended practices in this area. The objectives of this thesis were accomplished, after interview analysing I described mothers´views on the topic and compared the process of a nursing care at the first treatment of a newborn in a delivery room with recommendations for this area. The survey was conducted in a medical facility (Hospital České Budějovice a.s.) where the care provided corresponds to valid standards for nursing care in neonatology. Although the care provided is in absolute accordance with the recommendations, mothers themselves in interviews in lesser or greater extent reflected a certain need of empathy from the side of the staff, more support especially in case of primapara, and this concerns not only them but also partners who accompany women at deliveries and who meet unfamiliar situations and gain new experiences.
