Lifelong learning from the perspective of Czech nurses
MERTLÍKOVÁ, Renáta
Introduction: This bachelor's thesis focuses on the topic of lifelong learning from the perspective of Czech nurses. The theoretical part deals with the history of education, lifelong learning in the Czech Republic and abroad, motivation and barriers to the lifelong learning of nurses. Lifelong learning of nurses is one of the essential parts of nurses' general education, as there is a constant change in health care and nurses need to renew and consolidate their knowledge. In addition, the, lifelong learning of nurses is mandatory by law in the Czech Republic. Aim: The work aimed to find out what motivates Czech nurses the most for lifelong learning, whether the knowledge gained in the framework of lifelong learning is reflected in nursing practice, what factors limit nurses' lifelong learning and which forms of lifelong learning Czech nurses prefer. Methodology: A quantitative survey method was used for this work. The data were obtained using our semi-structured questionnaire distributed among 80 nurses at the Prachatice Hospital. However, the return was only 49 questionnaires. Results: Nurses are most motivated to lifelong learning by gaining new knowledge they can use in nursing practice (71.5 %). We also found that nurses' knowledge gained in lifelong learning is reflected in nursing practice (67.4 %). Regarding the factors that limit nurses' participation in lifelong learning, most nurses reported it as time-consuming (44.9 %). Lastly, we found that nurses do not prefer one single form of lifelong learning but more of them. These are professional seminars, specialization education, innovative and certified courses, training events and conferences. Conclusion: The benefit of this bachelor's thesis can be the inspiration and motivation of nurses for lifelong learning. Furthermore, the results can serve the health care employers to increase the motivation of nurses for further education or remove the barriers that stand in their way to further education.

The Progress of Nursing in the 21st Century from a Patient's Perspective
ČERNÁ, Barbora
Intoduction: Nursing is a human-oriented scientific discipline. Due to various world events, pivotal changes have occurred in this field. These changes have led to improvement in nursing care that is being provided in health facilities today. The Aim of the Thesis: The aim of the thesis was to determine changes to the field of nursing through the eyes of care recipients (i.e. patients) that happened during the 21st century. Furthermore, the goal was also to identify factors that influenced these changes and evaluate nursing care through the eyes of patients. Methodology: The thesis was carried out by means of a qualitative research survey in the form of semi-structured interviews with patients. The selection criteria for choosing an informant were residence in the South Bohemian Region and 18 years of age (or older). These informants were chosen by snowball sampling. The research survey included 20 informants. The interviews were recorded on an answering machine, literally transcribed and consequently analysed. Results: The thesis identified a total of 8 categories and 23 subcategories. The category of Scientific and Technological Progress was recognized as the central category. It is the driving force for most changes, including changes in education. The patients thought that the biggest change was modern equipment, new aids and devices in health facilities. They also mentioned innovations in the education of nurses and they agreed with the changes. The patients rated nursing care as a highly professional, expert and demanding field. They understood that more and more demands were being placed on the nurses. Moreover, the patients described the profession as prestigious, but also said that the public should be more informed about it. Conclusion: It is certain that nursing care will be influenced by further advances and innovations because science and technology cannot be stopped. In this context, the demands on nursing personnel will increase and the patients will be more demanding as well. Therefore, it is necessary to continue working on nursing care. However, it has to be taken into account how these changes and developments are perceived by the patients.

View of doctors on current nurses practise
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Petra
In this bachelor's thesis we will deal with key aspects of the work of a nurse from the point of view of medical staff and we will also investigate the opinions of physicians on the current system of Czech nursing education. The present time has high requirements on nurses, especially on the work of a nurse and higher education. Today is very often said that nurses should be equal partners with physicians in the care of patients and take a respected position in a multidisciplinary team. The work is divided into theoretical and empirical. In the theoretical part of the bachelor's thesis we will deal with the history of nursing, current nursing and we will also focus on the doctor nurse relationship. In the empirical part of the work we will examine the view of physicians on the issue of education and work of a nurse. For processing of the empirical part was chosen qualitative research together with the method of semi structured interview. The research group consists of 8 medical staff from various clinical fields. Based on the interviews, the results were divided into 2 large categories and 8 subcategories. Gained results showed that physicians perceive current education as complicated and too long, preferring to devise a better system that would precisely define and adjust questions of increasing competencies and the related education of nurses and length of study. Furthermore, doctors stated that university studies bring benefits in the form of obtaining a university degree and higher prestige of the profession. Physicians consider the work of a nurse to be essential and have the opinion that the nurse is an indispensable part of well provided care for patients. We also found out that the most common reasons that affect the emergence of a conflict situation between the nurse and the doctor are stress, overwork, mutual disrespect associated with inappropriate behavior and violation of the competencies of both parties. Based on the statements, we can also state that doctors consider the nurse as their partner in the field of professional patient care and they do not have problem with accepting proposals or recommendations from nurses.

Facts influencing attempt of nursing staff in patient orientation health care.
WALDSBERGEROVÁ, Marcela
The thesis presented consists of two parts: a theory and the empirical part. The theory is introduced with a brief survey of the history of the patient centred care followed with current trends in nursing. It is followed with the three key areas determining nursing care. The first one consists of the objective factors - the health care system. The second area is formed by the factors associated with the practical implementation of nursing. The third area is devoted to the role of the patient and his surroundings. Objective of the thesis: The mapping of the factors influencing patient-oriented care by the nursing staff and management in various health care institutions. Research group The research group consisted of 11 female respondents state-registered nurses, aged from 24 to 58 years of age. The respondents varied in their position, level of education, and specialization, and they worked in various health-care institutions. Among them, there were 6 registered nurses, 4 ward nurses, and 1 head nurse. The willingness to cooperate and the saturation of responses were principal in forming the research team in question. The way adopted for achieving of the objective A qualitative research method has been chosen to achieve the goal. The phenomenological focus of the work has led to the selection of the method. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews. The findings were further categorized and confronted with the source material to answer the research questions. Results The research confirms the nursing care is a complex phenomenon. The recently-adopted health care legislation shows a shift from the paternalistic concept of care on behalf of the right of the patient to self-determination. On the other hand, however, the principle of solidarity the basis of the health care system in the Czech Republic retains some paternalismus, and that can negatively affects the relationship of the patient to the nursing staff in some cases. The respondents are in agreement as to the notion of PCC but a single one respondent knows its concept. The possibility of putting the PCC in practice is hampered by a wide range of factors. According to the respondents, the major obstacle is the undernumerousness of the nursing staff, resulting in the omnipresent time stress. The excessive red-tape demands have been seen as the almost equally important factor, together with the lack of continuity of care, but also the fast-and-loose approach of some nurses. The evaluation of the cooperation between staff nurses at the bed and the nurses in senior positions differed. Staff nurses see the problem in cooperation with their superiors, lacking appreciation of their work. Management, i.e. head nurses and ward nurses are often seen as systemic obstacles. The research investigation also shows insufficient cooperation with the patient's family. Permanent changes in the nursing education concept are seen as a hindrance to the problem solution. Regretfully, the actual approach of a nurse often slides down from a vocation to a mere employment. Conclusion The problems identified in the healthcare system indicate a wide range of factors influencing the relations between the nursing staff and patients. Multidimensional patient care concepts and examples from our healthcare system illustrate how clinical, structural, and interpersonal factors can interact in the relations between nursing staff and patient. The PCC concept should enable any health-care provider to set ways to improvement the care rendered and to motivate the caring staff to adopting it.
