The thesis deals with the application of NIC, NOC classifications in patients with stoma. Every nurse uses a classification system of health care which describes activities or interventions done by nurses as a part of planning phase of nursing process in connection with creation of nursing care plan. These classifications also focus on developement of nursing care objectives and evaluating of the effect of nursing care results. Due to these classifications, the nursing care results are mesurable. In the theoretical part of the thesis, we focus on classification systems of nursing care, then on GIT diseases which lead to insertion of stoma, its care, care of patients with stoma and last but not least, on nursing documentation. Several objectives were set to meet the main target of the thesis. Firstly, to map nurses' opinion on nursing classifications; secondly, to find out which NOC indicators are usually judged by nurses in the care of patients with stoma; thirdly, to find out which activities are usually used by nurses in the care of patients with stoma; fourthly, to check up on application of NIC, NOC classification in the care of patients with stoma. The qualitative reserch was hold in two phases. In the first phase of the qualitative research, a nursing documentation was created on the basis of NIC and NOC classification related to care of the patients with stoma. In the second phase of the qualitative research, we interviewed ten nurses who had worked with the particular nursing documentation.

The main objective of the thesis was ascertaining of realization of the Nursing Care Concept issued by the Ministry of Health in 2004, in Czech hospitals. To achieve results a quantitative research method was used. While collecting data we used a questioning method, by means of questionnaires. The questionnaires were intended for staff nurses/deputies of nursing care in Czech hospitals. As a research sample we chose hospitals in the Czech Republic which provide acute ward (bed) care. The found out data should clarify what is the actual status of realization of the Nursing Care Concept in Czech hospitals.
