Attitudes of nurses in clinical workplaces towards nursing students
BOBKOVÁ, Veronika
The attitudes of nurses in clinical workplaces towards nursing students is important for quality teaching in students' practice, so in this work we will deal with this topic. Satisfaction on both sides, both on the part of nurses and on the part of the students in their practice in the clinical environment, is important. For this reason, we try to find out the most common problems in research and find solutions for them or specify the ideas of nurses and students. Main aim of thesis is to find out which attitude to the students of nursing care have nurses at clinical workplaces and to describe factors that influence the stand of nurses to those students at clinical workplaces while performing nursing care training. Five hypotheses have been set up. Quantitave survey has been used as the methodology of the thesis. Non-standardized questionnaires for nurses and students have been used. The questionnaires have been compiled based on studied resources, experience and knowledge resulting from clinical work experience. Questionnaire research of nurses was taking place 14. 1. 2022 to 11. 3. 2022. Students questionnaire research was taking place also from 14. 1. 2022 to 24. 3. 2022 from the reason of delay of returnability of questionnaires. The results suggest that the attitude of nurses in clinical workplaces towards nursing students is not different depending on the length of the nurses' practice, nor on the highest level of education attained. The attitude of nurses at clinical workplaces towards nursing students differs according to the workplace where the student's internship takes place. Factors that influence the attitude of nurses at clinical workplaces towards nursing students do not differ according to the clinical workplace, but differ according to the year in which the student is studying.

Research of nursing in the context of historical development
ŠVANCÁROVÁ, Kristina
The Diploma Thesis "Research of nursing in the context of historical development" has a theoretical character. Its aim is to analyze the historical development of nursing research as an essential part of the nursing profession. The work is adapted as a historical - analytical study of available sources and documents with subsequent interpretation of texts through the method of textual hermeneutics. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to set two research questions: What period events influenced nursing research in the historical context? What development has nursing research seen from a historical perspective? The work is divided into five chapters entitled From Prehistory to the Modern Age, Florence Nightingale Period, Interwar and War Periods in the Context of Nursing Research, Postwar Periods and Nursing Research, Nursing Research Today. Among crucial events that influenced the development of research in nursing there are Human evolution (script), the influence of religion, wars, Theresian and Josephine reforms and the emancipation movement as well as the formation of education institution (universities), organizations and development of publications. At least but not last there are other important influences such as established political and economic reforms, Bolton's law, the Kellog program, the Advisory Committee's report, the possibility of travel (internships), the adoption of the Bologna Process and technical progress (internet, PC). The research went hand in hand with education, which also affects the level of nursing care. When speaking of the second research question, it can be stated that the first research can be traced back to prehistoric times, through sources of human knowledge, nursing care needs, nursing education, work needs and requirements, nurses' health and safety, motivation, nurses' roles or community nursing. In the period of time, research activity has led to the establishment of research centers and training faculties, research educational programs, research plans (prevention, digitalization, chronically ill), international cooperation and the achievement of their own terminology, classification and methodology. For the time being is nursing research defined by ethical and legal principles, based on EBN and financed from public resources.

Cultural competences of home care nurses
RÁSOCHOVÁ, Marie
The diploma thesis themed as the "Cultural Competences of Nurses in Home Care Agencies" is aimed at mapping a level of cultural competences of nurses in home care agencies. On basis of the objective stipulated in advance, two research questions were formed: What is the extent of cultural competences of nurses and what the nurses' particular cultural challenges exist in such home care agencies? Qualitative research methodology was applied in the empirical part of the diploma thesis. Data collection was performed using a semi-structured interview which was created in collaboration with a group of researchers participating in the Project Research Grant No. GAJU 046/2021/S. The research file consisted of eleven (11) nurses working in home care agencies. The interview acquired were processed by means of coding resulting in five (5) categories and 16 sub-categories generated. It is apparent from the research results that nurses in home care provide patients with a highly individualized care which fully meets conditions set up by the cultural competence care. Simultaneously, certain weaknesses were detected standing ahead of nurses as a form of challenges. For instance, it is a language barrier and an interpreter being engaged in the patients' care in home care, quality improvement of lifelong education and training for nurses in home care and an inclusion of the critical reflexion in the nurses' jobs. It was also disclosed that nurses are challenged by the technical handling of their work in home environment of their patients. In terms of the results, it is evident that medical facilities are facing with the challenge of how to increase the efficiency of information transfer within individual subjects of the care provision, and thus to improve possibilities of nurses' preparation for their clients' visits. The diploma thesis can be exploited to intensify the quality and efficiency in the care for clients originated from diverse cultures, and moreover as the grounds for further research activities and progress and development in nursing.

Mission, calling, service and their place in nursing
JEHLÍKOVÁ, Aneta
This diploma thesis is concerned with defining the terms of mission, calling, service, and searching for connections between them and nursing. In the theoretical part, we try to search for these terms and determine their meanings through historical and current literature. The empirical part of the thesis is based on qualitative research. Semi structured interviews were conducted with six medical high school students of the practical nurse program, with five university students of the general nurse program, with general nurses that were divided into two groups: those who had finished the medical school before 2004, and those who were studying the medical high school as medical assistants. The last groups for interviews were members of the Sisters of Mercy congregation of St. Borromeo. The main aim of the thesis is to find out how terms of mission, calling, and service are imagined by nurses, how these terms manifest themselves in today's nursing, and how actual they are in nursing today. Answers to these research questions arise from experience of general nurses, as well as students, and reflect their views on the research terms of mission, calling, and service. Empirical inquiry reveals that general nurses and students have a good idea of what terms of mission, calling, and service are. Among descriptions of these terms, the answers of the Sisters of Mercy of St. Borromeo are the most differentiated. General nurses divert from the profession as defined by Florence Nightingale, and they still attribute nurses the same virtues as she was imagining. Today, in nursing, the researched terms mission, calling, and service appear at least in the meaning we elaborate on here and have an archaic impression. Instead of these terms, words such as empathy or compassion are being used in today's nursing, and these words are attributed to a flawless general nurse by students and general nurses. General nurses and students agree that the researched terms perish in today's nursing, yet they still perceive that a general nurse should consider her profession as a mission, and all but three informants consider their current or future profession as a mission.

RENGEROVÁ, Nikol
This bachelor´s thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on tracheal anatomy, types of tracheostomy cannulas with a description of individual parts and puts a big emphasis on the latest knowledge in nursing care. The purpose of the theoretical part was to describe the experience of a nurse taking care of patients in a standard and intensive care unit. A research was realized through semi-structure interview with nurses who work on follow - up intensive care, departement of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation, departement of Otorhinolaryngology. An informants were selected by the Snowball Sampling method and through a social group on Facebook. The theoretical saturation was achieved with a number of 10 informants. The obtained data showed that the metal type of cannula is a domain of a standard unit. On the other hand, plastic cannulas are used in the intensive care unit. It was further found out that the selected standard departement uses an open suctioning and other units use a closed suctioning. From the empirical part we know that the nurses taking care of peristomal skin are using different materials and substances and not everyone is doing the tracheostomy cannula sterilization. The nurses match in inhalation and humidification in the care of respiratory system, however the way of deliver differs. The method of preparation of aids and patient´s position during the tracheostomy cannula exchange differs, same as the process of decannulation. In the question of where the nurses gained the experience in taking care of patients with tracheostomy tube, we got almost an uniform answer, which was the practise in the departement. This bachelor´s thesis provides information about complex care of patient with tracheostomy tube and it compares the care on the standard and intensive departement. An output of the thesis is a brochure with a title "How to take care of a tracheostomy cannula?"
