Application of the Kathryn Barnard nursing care model to the physically handicapped child
STRNADOVÁ, Eva
Physical disability/physical handicap is an affection that is manifested by either temporary or permanent problems in motor diathesis of children. Physically disabled children may suffer from physical disability either from their birth or may acquire physical disability in the course of their lives. These problems may act in a negative manner on children perception and feeling and the same holds good for their near relatives. Problems come into existence in parent-physically handicapped child interrelation. The nursing model of Ms. Kathryn Barnard focuses on mutual interaction between parents and their children. In her model Ms. Kathryn Barnard points out the importance of the aforementioned parent-physically handicapped child interrelationship. On the basis of evaluation of the parent-child interactions based on three main factors: a child, mother, environment, a general child development is determined. The parent-child interaction affects a child development, child{\crq}s health, growth and development of a child. The aim of nursing care is to assist in finding a proper way of parent- physically disabled child interaction so that the nursing care may act on general development of a child in a positive manner. In this diploma work the following goal has been set: to find out and identify the most important problems existing in the parent-physically disabled child relation, and to evaluate possibilities of nursing care in solving problems arising at the parent-physically disabled child interaction. For the purpose of meeting these goals the following research questions has been established: What are the most important problems in the parent-physically handicapped child interaction? How can nursing care help in the parent-physically handicapped child interaction? What is the proper procedure for the nursing care of a physically disabled child and his/her close relatives? After carrying out research examinations the answers to the above-specified questions are as follows: 1. The most important problems lying in the parent-physically disabled child interaction are as follows: parent to reconcile himself/herself with his/her child's diagnosis, more frequent occurrence of stress situations, excessive emotional ties of the physically handicapped child with his/her nursing personnel. 2. The nurse can help by means of nursing process in an active manner solve the above-specified problems in interrelation between parent-physically handicapped children. On the basis of information having been gained by the study of professional literature and pieces of information obtained from the answers of the parents of physically disabled children a nursing documentation has been made in accordance with the Kathryn Barnard interaction model as well as nursing care standard of physically handicapped children. By finishing it both the third and fourth aims have been accomplished. Nurses providing care for physically disabled children have used the nursing documentation and it has proved useful and nursing personnel declared it satisfactory. The nursing documentation and the standard should help nurses in providing quality nursing care of physically handicapped children.

Comprehensiveness and completeness of managing of nursing documentation in selected medical institution
ZÁMOSTNÁ, Barbora
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic ``Complexity and completeness of keeping nursing care documentation in a selected medical facility``. The thesis is drafted in the theoretical part and empirical part. The objective of the empirical part of the investigation was to survey the complexity and completeness of keeping nursing care documentation in a selected medical facility. In accordance with the objective, we set two hypotheses. H1: Nurses keep nursing care documentation in accordance with the applicable standard. A H2: Nurses in surgery units keep nursing care documentation more complexly than nurses in internal departments. To collect data we chose the quantitative method of research by means of nursing care audit. The research sample consisted of 60 pieces of nursing care documentation, 30 pieces of documentation in a surgery unit and 30 pieces of documentation in the internal department of the Tábor Hospital, a.s. The overall success rate in the audit ``Complexity of keeping nursing care documentation{\crqq} was 99.73 per cent in the internal department and 91.12 per cent in the surgery department. At the same time, no audit index results have dropped below 76 per cent in the entire set (60 pieces of documentation), and below 53 per cent in partial sets (30 pieces of documentation). H1 hypothesis: Nurses keep nursing care documentation in accordance with the applicable standard, has been, on the grounds of the results obtained, confirmed. The overall success rate of the audit of the nursing care documentation in the internal department was almost by 8.5 per cent higher than that in the surgery department. For that reason, it is possible to make the conclusion that the H2 hypothesis: Nurses in surgery units keep nursing care documentation more complexly than nurses in internal departments, has not been confirmed. In the final discussion, results from the conducted audit in the two departments were summed up and, subsequently compared with literature. Practical use was set in the final part. The results of the bachelor thesis were given at the disposal of the staff nurse of the Tábor Hospital, a.s., to conduct improvement in keeping documentation or to conduct subsequent audits. Last but not least, a local standard for keeping nursing care documentation as the basis for drawing up a new standard in individual departments of the team of nursing care, was drafted and subsequently submitted.
