Nurse and her work in mission in the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic.
HORÁKOVÁ, Magdaléna
The occupation of nurse as we know it today started to take shape thanks to Florence Nightingale, who pioneered military nursing practice. The first military nurses, including Florence, served during the Crimean war. The modern military nurse has the same duties as her historical counterparts {--} to identify and satisfy the needs of soldiers. She participates on the prevention process, cares for soldier's health, helps to create optimal conditions for their healthy lifestyle and training and provides first-aid training to soldiers. Nurses also take part on medical provisioning, assessments of military service capability and epidemic prevention. This research work has been elaborated using qualitative research methods. Its goal is to map the competencies of nurses in the Czech Army. Data was collected by means of semi-structured dialogues with nurses that participated on a military mission abroad. The results of the research with military nurses are elaborated by means of case reports and a slightly modified Ritchie and Spencer framework analysis, which was used to compile the category tables and charts that summarize the main research results. Three research questions were established to achieve the goal. The main goals are to find out whether nurses on foreign missions have competencies according to Czech legislation, whether they provide care on foreign missions by means of a nursing process, and what the conditions are for acceptance to a foreign mission. The results are designated for medical professionals as well as the general public and may also serve for study purposes.
