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.

Military nurses role during nursing care of civilian inhabitants and soldiers in foreign military operations
KRATOŠKOVÁ, Tereza
We have determined three research questions: 1. Do the injured and ill civil people perceive the difference in the care provided by a man or a woman? 2. Does the health care staff respect the religion of the Kosovan people? 3. Do the injured and ill soldiers perceive the difference in the care provided by a man or a woman? To obtain the answers we used the asking metod during the interview. We chose six groups of injured and sick people who were taken care of in Kosovo. In the first group there were soldiers of the Czech army- 7 men, in the second group there were 5 women. In the third group there were men from the military health care personnel- 7 men, the fourth group included military health care staff- 5 women. In the last two groups there were local Kosovans- 5 men and 5 women. Hypothesis were established on the basis of the analysis: H1: Injured and sick civil people feel the difference between a nurse man and a nurse woman. H2: The health care personnel respects the religion of the Kosovan people. H3: Wounded and ill soldiers perceive the difference between a male nurse and a female nurse. Results of this work can be used for the preparation of the soldiers before they go on a foreign mission or as study material in the nurses training and presentations. It can help to improve the health care during the foreign missions.
