Halámková, Miriam ; Martinek, Michael (advisor) ; Heryán, Ladislav (referee)
The aim of this thesis titled "The use of the Bible in pastoral work with ill people" is to explore the ways how this fundamental book of Christianity can be used in pastoral work with ill people. In the first chapter, there are defined general pastoral care, its meaning and the care of ill people. Futhermore, the ill person as an object on which is this care focused, his needs and some specifics of conversation with such a person and also a person accompanying the ill as the one who provides the care. The second chapter deals with the pastoral theme in the Bible. In the times of the Old Testament the shepherd was one of the most inferior professions. Nevertheless, it is given as an example for the behavior of the spiritual leader to the people of whom he cares about. In some books of the Bible there is described how a shepherd should behave to his flock. In the New Testament then it is spoken of Jesus Christ as the good shepherd who takes care of his sheep, which represent individuals in the church. The chapter provides some inspirations in Christ's behavior for today's pastoral work with ill people. The third chapter is devoted to a description of the selected options of the use of the Bible in pastoral work with the sick. These include personal approach to accompanying to it, reading stories, but...

Search for the meaning of suffering in the life and work of Blessed John Paul II.
Spišák, Róbert ; Ryšková, Mireia (referee) ; Ventura, Václav (referee)
Search for the meaning of suffering in the life and work of bl. John Paul II. During his long pontificate, John Paul II. commented on many current problems, but he perceived the matter of suffering in the most sensitive way. He boldly criticized all that is threatening to a man or brings pain. On the other hand, he strongly emphasized, that life in suffering is meaningful. What brought him to this conclusion? Which life events aided him in this search? How did he develop on his personal spiritual way, where he found meaning in suffering and thus became an authentic teacher in this area? The answers are proposed in this thesis, which is divided into three chapters: From a childhood to a priesthood; From the Priest Ordination to the Roman Pontificate; The Pontificate - the Pope "speaking" and "silent". The author advances chronologically and applies hagiographic-personalistic approach, which takes into account particular life events of a man and takes interest in his spiritual growth. Already in his childhood and an early manhood, Karol Wojtyla was greatly tried by suffering. This is shown in quite a detail in the first chapter. First it is death of his mother and then unexpected death of his brother Edmund. In both cases the most significant issue for Wojtyla is his father's attitude, who is seeking...

Nursing process in patients with hemodialysis
STACHOVÁ, Klára
Chronic kidney disease is often symptomless and painless. It is often late for some patients when they realize that there is something wrong with their bodies, namely the kidney function. Kidney failure causes a complex metabolic failure and water and electrolyte imbalance. Unfortunately this phenomenon is irreversible and a lot of the patients have to undergo hemodialytic therapy, which only substitutes the function of the kidneys but does not treat the kidneys. However dialytic technology is nearly at the perfection level at present. Nevertheless dialysis brings the risk of numerous complications for the patient. The dialysis principle is based on blood cleaning by means of a dialytic apparatus. Life rescue is the patient's priority so he/she has to visit a hemodialysis centre several times a week. The hemodialytic therapy is particularly physically and psychically demanding for the patient and his/her close relatives. This therapy significantly affects the patient's life. It has a substantial influence on patient's lifestyle and values. The therapy is accompanied by various treatment and nursing recommendations adherence to a diet with significant limitation of liquids, regular intake of medicines, stress regulation etc. from physicians and the healthcare staff. The aim of the bachelor thesis called "Nursing Process in Patients with Hemodialysis" was to map the problems of the nursing process in a hemodialysed patient on the base of specialized literature. The topic is elaborated theoretically by the review and synthesis method. The information was obtained from Czech and foreign specialized literature as well as from journals specialized in this issue. Hemodialysis is one of the most demanding elimination treatment methods of long-term character. Nursing care plays a very important role on hemodialysis. It must be effective, of high quality and particularly continuous as the patient only visits the hemodialysis centre on some days of a week. The nursing care has an irreplaceable role in healthcare. The patient before, during and after hemodialysis depends on quality nursing care provided by a nurse. Nursing process based on knowing the patient and active identification of his/her needs is a characteristic feature of modern nursing care. It stresses elaborate continuity, complexity and individuality of the patient, the sequence of the care and satisfaction of needs in partial steps of the nursing process. The nursing process requires continuous interaction between the nurse and the patient. Flexibility, currency, modification and repeated evaluation of the process are advantageous not only for nurses but also for the patients and often leads to timely solution of problems and satisfaction of patient's needs. The theoretical work reveals that hemodialysis is very closely related to the nursing process and contributes to patient's substantial satisfaction. It points out the importance of planning and preparation of nursing diagnoses. A feedback, not only for a nurse, but also for the patient for possible changes or preparation of a new care plan is also an important aspect of preparation of the nursing care plan. The obtained information on the nursing process in a hemodialysed patient are dealt with by the individual chapters of this bachelor thesis. This bachelor thesis is a guide in planning the nursing process and focusing on the most important problems during hemodialytic therapy not only for experienced nurses but also for tertiary school students. It also contributes to recognition of the necessity to create and apply the nursing process in the care of hemodialysed patients. A comprehensive view of the issue in question is the result. This study material for tertiary school students is the result of careful and thorough study of specialized literature.

Income to the hospital, needs of the patient and nursing care
ROSOLOVÁ, Tereza
The bachelor thesis Admittance to hospital, patient?s needs and nursing care is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part.The theoretical part analyses what needs are and their classification, nursing care and its methods, outpatient and inpatient admittance from the point of view of a patient and from the point of view of nurses. These facts are compared between a surgery and an internal medicine ward. These problems form the central topics of this thesis.The practical part involves qualitative methods, namely the techniques of non standardized interview and observation by means of a record sheet both in patients and nurses specialized in surgery and internal medicine.First we prepared 20 questions focused on our topic, which were applied to 10 respondents, 5 surgical and 5 internal. A half of the questions dealt with patients that were waiting for or had already passed primary admittance to the surgical or internal ward of the České Budějovice Hospital. The second half of the questions was focused on the problems of inpatient admittance, which the patients had passed. 2 of the questions were given to nurses that took care about the patient at both, the admission office and the ward.The aim of the thesis was to find out what information the patients have when they are admitted to hospital. The second aim was to map the time interval between admittance at the admission office and laying the patient on the bed. The third aim was to map what needs were not saturated after admittance of a patient to the ward. The fourth aim was to map what problems nurses met most often in acceptance of a patient to the ward in terms of the nursing care they provided.The research among the respondents has shown that most patients do not have any specific information on admittance. The time interval between admittance at the admission office and laying the patient on the bed seems to be acceptable, although it usually took an hour or more. As for the needs, all the patients except for two had their needs saturated. The problems nurses face at acceptance are mostly with aggressive patients, alcohol influence, poor communication with family, signing a negative discharge, poor communication with admission nurses and communication barriers.

Creation of a center for patients with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis
ŠTOKROVÁ, Veronika
The name of this bachelor thesis is: Establishing a centre for people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, system, inflammatory illness of joints that results in destructions and deformities of joints. It is a characteristic feature of this illness symmetrically that it affects more joints at the same time, which are, in the majority of cases, small joints. Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory illness of joints which is accompanied by psoriasis. Psoriatic arthritis affects mainly distal interphalangeal joints of the hands, which makes it basically different from the rheumatoid arthritis. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part dealt with rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, priority needs of people suffering from these troubles, and a possible centre for these patients. The empirical part of my thesis was compiled in the form of qualitative research. The technique of collecting data was a semi-structured interview, which was conducted with 8 respondents suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, and 5 nurses working at rheumatologic surgeries. The interviews with the particular respondents and nurses were processed into case histories. The most interesting data were processed in the form of categorising tables. The thesis aimed at the following: to find out whether people suffering from these diseases are interested in establishing a centre for clients suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, to underline the benefits of such a centre for people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, to underline possibilities of activities held at the centre for people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, and to underline possibilities of involving nurses at the centre for people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. We posed the following research questions: How much are people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis interested in establishing the centre? What do people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis view the benefits of the centre in? What are the possibilities of involving nurses at the centre for people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis? Which activities can be realised at the centre? The results of the research examination show that people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis are interested in establishing a centre. They view the benefits of the centre especially in seeing and testing compensation aids, and another benefit for them would be attending expert seminars held by a physician in cooperation with a nurse or, under circumstances, with students. The nurse in the centre would deal with the education, and another possible activity could be holding seminars or cooperation with a physician in basic examinations. The activities that can be realised in the centre are exercises under professional supervision of a physiotherapist, visiting a physician, testing compensation aids or making use of professional advice by an occupational therapist. The results of my bachelor thesis can serve as a foundation for creating a centre for people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis.

Use of NIC and NOC nursing care in the standard units
VACULČÍKOVÁ, Jitka
The thesis is focused on the up-to-date issues of application of NIC and NOC to nursing care at standard wards. Implementation of unified nursing language is a great challenge for Czech nursing. Application of unified professional terminology and standardized electronic data improves effectiveness of cooperation between health care staff from different facilities and develops nursing statistic registers, which are useful for development of research in nursing care and substantially improve the quality of nursing care in heath care facilities. This thesis is a part of research grant project implemented by the Department of Nursing of the Faculty of Health Care and Social Studies of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, GAJU JU 079/2010/S, called Application of conceptual model and classification systems to nursing documentation. In the theoretical part we map the basic theses, principles and novelties of development, classification systems, particularly from foreign literature. We set four basic goals before the research, focused on application of classification systems to standard departments, on the aspects affecting introduction of classification systems to standard departments, elaboration of proposals and solution of application of classification systems and verification of application of classification systems to standard departments. The research was implemented in cooperation with the following South Bohemian workplaces: České Budějovice Hospital, Český Krumlov Hospital, Jindřichův Hradec Hospital, Prachatice Hospital, Strakonice Hospital, Tábor Hospital, and Písek Hospital. The empiric part was based on qualitative-quantitative method. We chose the techniques of document content analysis and semi structured interview. The quantitative research was based on questionnaire research. We examined the diagnostic-nursing management from selected documents from the involved hospitals by means of content analysis. We conducted interviews with head nurses and we particularly focused on the spheres of nursing documentation topics and diagnostic classification systems. Three research questions were linked to the interviews. The interviews were interpreted in the form of thought maps. The questionnaire research was designed for general nurses from standard surgical and internal wards. Four hypotheses were related to the questionnaire research. The quantitative data were processed in statistic form; we used frequency tables and also worked with the chi-square test of compliance. A basic nursing diagnostic module according to NANDA-I, NIC and NOC, which has been presented to nurses ? professionals from practice ? for testing is the output of the thesis. Nursing specialists were informed on the content analysis results at the 3rd South Bohemian Conference of non doctoral health care workers in České Budějovice.
