The vision of midwifery students about midwife profession
BAUEROVÁ, Denisa
This bachelor's thesis is focused on the idea of midwifery students about the profession of midwife. The bachelor thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part provides information on the history and development of the midwife profession. The attention is paid to the teaching of midwifery and obstetrics, the current system of education of midwives and the current profession and competencies of midwives.The practical part of the bachelor's thesis was carried out using a qualitative research survey in the form of semi-structured individual interviews. The research group consisted of 9 midwifery students from České Budějovice, Pilsen and Jihlava. After informants approvals, the interviews were recorded on a dictaphone with their consent, literally transcribed and analyzed. To evaluate the data, three categories and six subcategories were determined.Based on the above goal of this thesis, we set one research question. This research question examined the views of midwifery students on the profession of midwife.The research survey on the ideas of midwifery students showed that all the interviewed students did not know what competencies the midwife had before entering the midwifery study program. The research investigation showed that only one informant does not want to practice the profession of midwife. This informant stated that the profession of midwife is very stressful for her. The research also found that only one informant wants to work as a community midwife. Other informants agreed that they do not want to practice the profession of community midwife due to the great responsibility for pregnant women, the fetus, postpartum women or newborns. Only three informants did not mention anything that would not suit them in the profession of midwife. The disadvantages concered to less work with children further excessive stress and twelve-hour shifts in a hospital and irregular work in the maternity ward. Most of the informants agreed that they are not members and do not want to be part of the organization for midwives in the future. During the elaboration of the bachelor's thesis, we obtained the opinions, attitudes and ideas of students regarding the profession of midwife. The findings can be used by applicants for the midwifery study program to obtain information about the profession of midwife. This work could also be used by university teachers who teach midwives to be informed about the attitudes or ideas of midwives.

Creating of local network of community midwives (Action research)
Zachová, Tereza ; Hájková Klíčová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Bosá, Monika (referee)
This thesis is based on action research which sits at the interface of midwifery and the management of health and social organizations. It maps the development of a local network of community midwives in Brno between 2021 and 2022. In the beginning, a Brno community midwife had a dream to work in a birthing house (midwifery unit). However, as this is currently impossible in the Czech Republic, she looked for different ways to work with her colleagues to provide accessible and quality care to women who demanded it. Thanks to a grant from the Brno-Centre district, five facilitated meetings of midwives were held. These meetings explored the motives and needs of midwives, the obstacles they face and their experiences in their practice. In this way, a service was being gradually designed that could provide women with individualised comprehensive support and care during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period, provided by midwives. Today, the original dream has taken concrete form - Nest. It is a (for now informal) group of midwives who meet regularly, have a defined common vision, shared values and principles of care, collect statistics from births, have regular supervision and gradually implement a system of substitution. They are becoming recognised among other professionals in their locality and...

Komunitní péče o ženu po porodu
HENDRYCH LORENZOVÁ, Eva
Introduction: Motherhood is a great life change for every woman, touching the physical, the psychical and spiritual planes of being. All these changes transform the perceived quality of life of a woman after childbirth. A qualified community midwife is a medical professional who is able to provide eruded and holistic health care to women after childbirth in their own community. Aim of work: the main objective of the empirical part of the work was to describe the importance of community care of women in postpartum period. Methodology: The empirical part of the dissertation thesis is built on Mixed-Method Design. We use the sequential combined research design of the QUAN + qual type. In the quantitative research survey, we set the main goal of describing the impact of community care of woman in postpartum period on their overall health and quality of life. The research file (N = 123) consisted of two groups of respondents. The group studied (with the community care of woman in postpartum period, N = 56) and the control group (without community care of woman in postpartum period, N = 67). We used 3 tools to gain research data: The MGI questionnaire, the MIFR Scale evaluation range and the own design questionnaire. The results of the research survey were statistically processed, the 0,05 significance level was used (5 %). The aim of the qualitative research survey was to describe in detail the experience of women with community care of woman in postpartum period. The qualitative research included 5 women having obtained community care of woman in postpartum period. These women were interviewed face to face by means of semi-structured interviews. Results and discussions: there was no statistically significant difference (p = 0,873) in the results of the state of health between women with community care of women in postpartum period and women without this care. There was no statistically significant difference (p = 0,539) in the results of breast-feeding at the end of the sixedage between women with community care of women in postpartum period and women without this care. The statistically significant link has been recognized between the recommendation of community care of woman in postpartum periodand the group of women who have benefited from repeatedly taken community care of woman in postpartum period (p <0.001). Most women who have benefited from community care of woman in postpartum period (58,9 %) were completely satisfied with this care, nothing else would need in care. Women in 45,7 % of replies reported that community care of woman in postpartum period helped them as psychological support. The results also brought alarming findings that 49.2 % of women who had not used this care did not know about this service! The resulting quality of life Index of women after childbirth reached an average value of 7,5 ? 1,38. Living area the relationship with its own mother has proved to be original compared to the other research studies and we propose to conduct further research investigations. A qualitative inquiry revealed that the community care provided by the midwife in the postpartum period was the most beneficial for women in terms of providing the so-called mother arms. Which means promoting, sharing, hearing and the respectful guiding through postpartum period. Conclusion: Dissertation provides a comprehensive view of the issue of community care of woman in postpartum period. The results of the work have shown that community care of woman in postpartum period is important to women. The used MGI and MIRF Scale questionnaires were considered to be helpful to midwives working in community.

Porodní a poporodní bolest
FILAUSOVÁ, Drahomíra
The objective of the work I am hereby presenting was to map pain by women during and after delivery with regards to age, number of births, attendance in prenatal courses and satisfaction of women in labour. The secondary objective was to find out the influence of interpersonal relationships during the hospitalization of the woman in labour and her perception of pain. Methodology: The set-up goals were accomplished through a quantitative research carried out in hospitals across the South Bohemian region with the use of a questionnaire consisting of two parts. The first part included a questionnaire of my own construction and the second part involved a standardized PCS questionnaire dealing with catastrophization of pain. The questionnaire was filled in by women after vaginal delivery with an interval of 48 - 72 hours after birth. Results: The testing sample involved 635 women giving birth in maternity hospitals in South Bohemian region. The average age of the respondents was 29,7. 49,1 % were primiparas and 50,9 % were women giving birth for the second or several times. The results of the research showed that the age of the woman in labour does not affect the perception of pain during the delivery, on the contrary the post-labour pain decreases with the increasing age of women in labour. Primiparas stated bigger pain than women who were giving births for several times. Undergoing the prenatal course did not prove any relationship with regards to pain during the labour. On the contrary the information they had gained in the prenatal course were proved to be beneficial for the evaluation of post-labour pain as respondents who participated in these courses stated lower level of pain in post-labour period. Statistically significant factors that respondents stated as the most helping in relieving pain, was the support of the midwife, communication with the midwife, staying in the shower, support of the doctor and communication with him/her, interpersonal relationships of the medical staff and the environment of the delivery room. The least satisfied with their delivery were women that used pharmacological treatment for reduction of pain. Women with lower stated labour pain described greater satisfaction with birth. The perception of pain during the delivery is influenced also with the interpersonal relationship at that given maternity hospital, on the contrary these relationships do not affect the evaluation of pain in the post-labour period. Conclusion: This thesis provides a view at the problematics of pain during and after delivery. The results of the research showed the important role of the midwife as well as the doctor's role in the process of care of woman in this uneasy period. The midwife not only evaluates the pain, but also offers the possibility of pain relieve and her behaviour can influence this pain.
