What patients need and what they miss from nurses.
KŘÍŽ, Miroslav
Human needs accompany a person throughout the entire life. They can be characterized as a property of the organism, which gives an impulse to perform certain activities or search for a certain conditions necessary for life. Needs have a direct effect on the person's mental aspect. If a person fails to satisfy his or her needs, mental well-being is disrupted. The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to find out in which area of nursing care patients feel a deficit. It was focused on the needs of patients hospitalized in the standard inpatient ward, who are not satisfied with the nurses to a sufficient extent or quality. The work deals with the care provided and whether it corresponds with the ideas of patients, whether it meets their expectations, and what shortcomings they encountered during their hospitalization. The basis of the work is the theoretical part, in which we described the patient's personality and their approach to health and illness. We characterized the profession of a nurse and the prerequisites for its performance. We focused on the relationship between a nurse and a patient, their mutual communication and cooperation. We have defined human needs, their division, satisfaction and barriers that complicate their fulfilment. We also talked about the care provided in inpatient wards, which is performed by the nursing process method. In the research part of the bachelor thesis we used a qualitative method of data collection. Through a semi-structured interview, we obtained information from patients hospitalized in the inpatient department of the hospital. The data obtained were processed by the pencil-paper coding method. The results of the interviews showed that a large number of nurses provide care to a sufficient extent and of appropriate quality. They actively seek and satisfy the needs of patients with helpfulness and tact. The informants find the nurses' care to be of good quality and observe that its level is constantly improving. They appreciate that a smile is often seen on faces of many nurses. Deficiencies were found in the care of immobile patients who were not provided with fully adequate care. In elderly patients, there isn't always enough time provided for the performance of required procedure. Some nurses cannot communicate properly with patients. They show signs of superiority and lesser self-control abilities. All informants talk about the high workload of nurses who work in small numbers, which leads to time pressure and failure to perform all the procedures needed to provide quality care. Informants see the main source of problems in the low number of nurses. This work could be a lesson for nurses who are in direct contact with patients. Many of them provide their care based on a medical diagnosis, doctor's instructions, or learned routine. But it is important to realize that nursing care is a wide range of activities that are based on what the person being cared for needs.

The need of confidence and safety at selected pediatric departments
ŠKRAŇKOVÁ, Jana
Hospitalization means a lot of changes for a child. A child does not feel well, is isolated from home, friends, and comes to a new unknown environment full of white coats, fear, and different illnesses. After coming to hospital, a child loses the feeling of safety and is afraid. Fulfilling the child´s needs of certainty and safety is crucial for the child´s healthy development that is why the thesis deals with this topic. The aim of the thesis is to map to what extend the needs of safety and certainty of children are fulfilled in chosen departments. The thesis aims to find out in what way the asked children adapt to the hospital environment and to map the nurses´ approach to the children in the context of fulfilling the needs of safety and certainty as well. In the theoretical part, classification of children´s needs is described and the needs of certainty and safety are characterized. This part deals with adaptation of a child to the hospital environment and cooperation with the family, the role of parents during child´s hospitalisation, and the issue of hospitalism. For the empirical part, qualitative research was chosen via a method of semi-structured interviews with hospitalized children and nurses. The research sample was created by 17 children of younger school age and 6 nurses in the same ratio from three children´s department of Motol University Hospital. When interviewing children, we were finding out how they feel at hospital, what they experience, if they have visitors, if they are not afraid, and how they are informed about the diagnosis, check-ups, and the length of hospitalization. We were interviewing nurses about ensuring the needs of certainty and safety, decreasing fear and pain, common hospitalization of parents and children, and preparation of children for check-ups. On the basis of the analysis of results, we made a conclusion that the needs of safety and certainty are fulfilled to a great extend at children. Children generally adapt to the hospital environment well. Nurses treat them with love and try to devote themselves to them, encourage them and substitute their parents if they are not hospitalized with them. We think, however, that they do no devote enough time to psychosocial anamnesis and that is why an adaptation questionnaire was created which will serve nurses after admitting a child to hospitalization.

Parkinson´s disease - enforced life transformation
OLTOVÁ, Eliška
The main goal of this thesis was to map the changes in the life of people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. To shed light on this topic, three research questions were designated: How does the Parkinson's disease influence the biological site of the individual? How does the Parkinson's disease influence the mental site of the individual? How does the Parkinson's disease influence the social site of the individual? The empirical part of this bachelor thesis was conducted by a method of qualitative research investigation, which was conducted by a technique of semi-structured interview. Each interview was separated into four different parts. The first part was focused on the basic information about the interviewee. The second part was focused on the impact of the disease on the biological site of the individual. The third part was dedicated to unravelling the impact of the disease on the mental site of the individual and the fourth part was revolving around the impact of the disease to the social site of the individual. The researched group consisted of people with Parkinson's disease, who are attending the Parkinson's club in České Budějovice. The obtained results were processed with the method of open coding, utilizing the technique "pen-paper". The results are presented in separate categories, which are further divided into a specific number of subcategories. The first category focuses on the impact of the disease on the biological needs and involves subcategories focused on the first signs of the disease, the mobility, self-sufficiency, sleep and eating. The second category concentrates on the impact of the disease on the mental needs and is composed of subcategories looking at the adaptation to the disease, the mood, life values and priorities. The third category focuses on the impact of the disease on the social needs and involves subcategories focused on the free time activities, the vocational life, the family relationships, the relationships with friends and on the economic situation. Based on the obtained results, it is possible to state that the Parkinson's disease is not only a physical illness, as it strongly affects the mental and social site of the patient as well. This work brings a unified view on the topic of Parkinson's disease and its impact on the everyday life of the patient. This work can be used by anyone, who wants to obtain more thorough idea on the ordinary life of the patient diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and his/her needs.
