Self-esteem and confidence of nurses a related to nursing practice
SLIPKOVÁ, Aneta
This thesis is focused on the current status of self-esteem and confidence of nurses while doing the nursing practice. To evaluate current status the general nurses were asked about importance, and if they have enough self-esteem and confidence while doing the nursing practice. Furthermore, I asked questions focused on the problematics of building self-esteem and confidence and how nurses care about their self-esteem and confidence. The thesis is made up of the empirical and theoretical part. Theoretical part is focused on the personalities of general nurses and their formation. Furthermore, this part is focused on factors which affect self-esteem and confidence of the nurses while doing the nursing practice and it also includes the research what the nurses do for their mental health in order for their self-esteem and confidence to be on the appropriate level for doing the nursing practice. The empirical part is made up of one objective. This objective is to determine if the nurses have enough self-esteem and confidence while doing the nursing practice. For the empirical part the technique of semi-structured interview was chosen. Gathered information were processed and divided into nine categories. The results of the research show, that general nurses can, in their own words, say what self-esteem and confidence is and are able to speak about the importance of self-esteem and confidence when doing the nursing practice. Self-esteem and confidence of the nurses is on appropriate level for doing the nursing practice, but their approach to their job is responsible and humble, both for new and experienced nurses. Their self-esteem and confidence while doing the nursing practice is affected by specific factors which are connected to their profession. To achieve the necessary level of self-esteem and confidence, their personal values in their personal life are also important. The research shown that while doing the nursing practice the nurses have more self-esteem and confidence than in their personal life, since they would not be able to do operations and the nursing practice in their best states of mind. Because of that in order for the nurses to have self-esteem and confidence on the appropriate level they should care about their mental health. The interviews shown that nurses try their best to care about their mental health, even though sometimes it is not possible due to high difficulty of their profession. This thesis helps to introduce the problematics of self-esteem and confidence of the general nurses at different departments. This includes personal opinions of nurses on the importance of self-esteem and confidence while doing the nursing practice, factors which affects these personal values and the importance of mental hygiene for doing the nursing practice.

Patient's perception of nursing practice provided by students of nursing.
ČÍŽKOVÁ, Marie
The topic of the thesis is "Patient's perception of nursing practice provided by students of nursing?. Nursing practice during the study is an important factor helping make a good nurse from a student. It is the combination of theory and practice in general nursing students which is essential for the educational process improvement. In nursing practice, it is important to interact with patients. Everything happens through interaction and communication, which is significant in terms of the professional conduct every medical staff member should learn during the study. This ability leads to the establishment and development of contacts with the patient and greatly affects the way the patient perceives the nurse. The aim of thesis is "To find out how the patient perceives the students performing nursing practice in hospital.? Therefore, the following hypotheses were stated: Hypothesis 1: "I assume the patients respect the students in nursing practice," which was confirmed, Hypothesis 2: "I assume that patients are scared of some nursing procedures provided by students,? cannot be confirmed, and Hypothesis 3: "I assume that younger patients are more critical to practicing students than older patients," cannot be confirmed. The second aim of the thesis is ?To find out how the patient perceives the students practicing in hospital?. This relates to Hypothesis 4: "I assume that patients are satisfied with the nursing students´ practice," which was confirmed. Another part of the thesis was answering the stated research questions. 1st research question was "What leads the patients to refuse a nursing procedure provided by students?" These were mainly the lack of the students´ experience, the patients´ distrust of the students and the patients´ pain and shame. 2nd research question was "Are the patients informed that there are students performing nursing practice in this ward?" 2 of 4 patients were informed about this fact. To obtain the necessary data both the qualitative and quantitative research were used. The qualitative research was carried out through non-standardized interviews. The quantitative research method was a questionnaire survey. The questionnaires were designed for patients at the departments where the general nursing students´ practice takes place. The questionnaire survey and non-standardized interviews were conducted in České Budějovice Hospital, plc.

The mentor position within in the nursing team, and her the cooperation with the shift nurses.
MAŘÍKOVÁ, Václava
Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the position of nursing mentor and her cooperation with shift nurses. The theoretical part of the thesis is divided into seven chapters, and focuses on the current nursing profession that is also interconnected with education and legislature. The work is further dealing with the role of the nursing mentor and her cooperation with the nursing team. Last but not least, the theoretical part is devoted to the important role of ethics and morality in the nursing profession that is undoubtedly of central importance. We are also addressing the Certified Course for Mentors that we regard as rather positive as one of the forms of lifelong education. The nurses completing the course will acquire new skills and knowledge, but also knowledge in the field of psychology, law, didactics and other fields. The role of a nurse-mentor is rather important as she can pass the acquired knowledge further and positively influence the students in this way over the course of professional training facilitating their adaptation when they start their professional career. It was the main objective of this work to map the current position of a nurse? mentor, what her experience is with cooperation with other shift nurses as part of practical education in the workplace, and whether the nurses direct and sufficiently motivate the students to become interested in the profession of general nurses or midwifes. The section on research employed two methods. The first method consisted in quantitative research in the form of questionnaires. We employed two questionnaires, one targeted the nurses-non-mentors, while the second was intended for nurses-mentors. As a second method, qualitative research was carried out using semi-structured interview conducted with selected head and ward (charge) nurses. Using the qualitative survey approach, we tested the following working hypotheses. H1: the general nurses know what the role of a nurse-mentor is in the health-care team, H2: the nurses-mentors motivate their students to raise their interest in the profession of general nurse, H3: the nurses-mentors are not always occupying leading positions, H4: the nurses-mentors are perceived positively by the shift nurses,
