The conceptual models in nursing care provide healthcare workers with a comprehensive philosophical-theoretical framework for provision of care to both healthy and ill individuals. They also contribute to develop nursing as a self-standing scientific discipline, supply a common language, an opportunity to make communication more efficient, to improve the provided care, they constitute a tool to evaluate the intervention results and last but not least, they support the education and the development of practice. The Calliste Roy's model, developed in the 1970s already and called "Adaptation model", understands the human as a holistic being that is in permanent interaction with the internal and external environment. According to the Roy's model, nursing is aimed at influencing the individuals' health in health, but also in illness, and at achieving their efficient adaptive behaviour. Our goal consisted in finding out the particularities of nursing care in clinical and community practice in the 50+ generation, under application of Calliste Roy's Adaptation model. Six hypotheses were formulated in collection with the set goal. Quantitative investigation under use of a non-standardized questionnaire was performed in order to get the data needed for processing of the research part of the work. The results of the investigation allowed confirming five out of the six hypotheses set. It was proved that with increasing age, 50+ people experience serious changes at 26 of the changes under evaluation. However, it was not confirmed that the life changes of the 50+ generation directly depend on gender, as no statistically significant connection between all changes tested and the gender was proved. It further applies that with increasing age, the percentage of individuals assessing the attitude to changes as negative rises significantly. It was also found out that the attitude of men towards changes is significantly more positive than the women's attitude. With increasing age, it is more and more difficult for the respondents to adapt to changes in their lives. However, men state significantly more often to be able to adapt to changes without difficulties, while women state difficulties significantly more often. A recommendation for practice consists in applying Calliste Roy's Adaptation model not only to assess the needs of the 50+ generation, but primarily in applying modified nursing case history in practice to support comprehensive assessment of the patient/client. The work brings stimuli for further research investigations, among other things.

The thesis on Information Technology in Nursing Education focuses in the theoretical part on defining the history of nursing education and defines the differences with the education of the present, also points to legislative norms related to nursing education. It then describes the learning process and defines the concepts of online education and e-learning. Two objectives and two hypotheses have been identified within the research part of the thesis. The first objective was to determine the use of online education by general nurses. The second objective was to determine the use of e-learning by students of both daily and combined forms. Therefore, two hypotheses were set for these objectives: H1: Higher education nurses use online learning more than non-college nurses and also H2: Students in the combined form of study use e-learning more than full-time students. Hypotheses have been set for chi quadrate testing and are included in the thesis including an alternative and zero hypothesis. The data for the quantitative research of this diploma thesis was obtained through two non-standardized questionnaires. The first questionnaire focused on the use of eLearning in students of both the day and the combined form of study, and the second was designed to identify the use of online nursing education. Both questionnaires were structured and contained both open and closed questions. The questionnaire survey was anonymous. Respondents were addressed throughout the Czech Republic. It was a deliberate choice. The first questionnaire contained 29 questions and the return was 387 questionnaires, of which 4 questionnaires were excluded due to incomplete or incorrect filling. The second questionnaire contained 31 questions, returning 246 questionnaires, of which 6 questionnaires were excluded due to incomplete or incorrect filling. A quantitative research survey was conducted between March and April 2017. Both questionnaires were distributed only electronically through social networks in sister and healthcare groups and societies. The research has confirmed the hypothesis that students use e-learning for learning, and in particular, students from the combined form of study use it more than in full-time study. Nurses do not use online lessons, but college-educated nurses use it more than high school educated. Among the barriers to education, the two groups of respondents most often have the same items, namely lack of time, lack of motivation and lack of courses that the respondents would be interested in. For the benefit of eLearning and online learning, compared to traditional forms of education, both groups agree on the positive values of consensus. In terms of the positive aspects of these forms of education, the two groups again agree on the low financial demands of both forms, the benefits of home accessibility and the possibility of selecting a topic according to one another. The groups also agree with the limitations of the studied forms of education - they refer in particular to the focus of the courses on the theory and the inability to test the findings in practice.

At the beginning of the 21st century has the nurssing care been undergoing and constantly is undergoing some significant changes. These changes are related to the admission of the Czech Republic into the European Union, where healthcare is transformed and demands for professional training of nurses are increasing. Because of the indispensable position of general nurses in the health care system, it is essential that to create conditions for education to meet all the training requirements. Understanding students' stance in this area can help to plan practical lessons and can also reveal both the strengths and weaknesses of practical training in selected departments. The aim of the diploma thesis was to find out how students of the general nurse field perceive professional practical training in selected departments and which categories they most often mention in their essays. Following the set of objectives, the hypothesis and three research questions were established. For the empirical part of the diploma thesis was used the research method of content analysis of data in which a quantitative and qualitative approach was applied. In terms of quantitative data analysis, the technique of frequency analysis was chosen and, in order to achieve a deeper meaning of the content structure of the text, a qualitative content analysis of the data was used where the valency analysis technique was used. The results of the research show that the practical training significantly influences the nursing staff, the possibility to learn professional skills, the contribution of practical practical training, mentor nurse, patients / clients, communication at the workplace, the possibility of working with documentation and attendance at the visit and the number of students Practice. Other factors that affect student practical training are apprehensions and fear, stress and psychological difficulty of general nurse work, adherence to the principles of barrier nursing care, supervision, and burnout. The diploma thesis can help to improve the quality and planning of practical education in the bachelor study field general nurse and as a valuable feedback for the students. It can also be used as a basis for the elaboration of a specialized article and for further research.

The thematic content of the presented diploma thesis is the issue of the lifestyle of general nurses working in regularly or irregularly planned shifts at different times of the day. The disposition of such employment entails limited opportunities for adherence to healthy living. This fact is the subject of exploration mentioned and solved in this diploma thesis. The first theoretical part of the diploma thesis provides a theoretical explanation on how best to adhere to the principles of healthy lifestyle, how best to lay out diet, sleep, or leisure, and how to contribute to good physical and mental fitness. The second, empirical part works with specific information obtained through questionnaire research and quantitative methods using statistical methods. Discussion and conclusion of the diploma thesis evaluate questionnaire obtained information and compare it with foreign research.

Child care is one of the most important tasks important for the health of entire population. Many social structures are involved in comprehensive child care. The family is an irreplaceable part of society. However, in the health sector, pediatric represents the basic part of childcare, as a field of development of an individual. The largest volume of health services represents ambulatory primary care, ie General practitioner for children and adolescents in cooperation with a nurse. The nurse organizes and manages nursing care in pediatrics, takes care of healthy and sick children, and focuses on cooperations with families of the children. The main of the thesis was to find out what is the content of nursing care provided by a nurse in primary pediatric care. Among other things, we were also interested in the staffing of GPs for children and adolescents area and, last but not least, the possibilities of further education of nurses in this area. Then we have put five research questions. We gained the necessary data for processing the empirical part of this thesis through a semi-structured interview. Altogether, 15 interviews with respondents from the South Bohemian Region were analyzed. From the research data we were able to answer research questions. The research showed that the dominant activities of the nurse's work in the general practitioner's office for children and adolescents are preventive examinations, vaccinations, education, documentation, and good office practice. In addition, we found out that nurses do not have nursing documentation, most nurses do not perform patient care at home and do not recommend vaccination against rotavirus infections. Both pediatric and pediatric nursing carers they rated as being of a good quality, compared to the world. However, what they do not like is the current nursing education. We believe that this thesis could be very useful as a study material for medical students and also for the general public, as an outline of the nurse's work contents in GPs for children and adolescents.

The diploma thesis deals with the health literacy of the residents living in the homes for the elderly. The aim was to find out what is the seniors' level of health literacy, whether they are interested in raising it and whether they are able to participate in the care of their person and make decision about their health. The second objective of the thesis was to describe the role of the nurse in providing health literacy to the clients of the home for the elderly. In the theoretical part of the diploma thesis, we were dealing first with the concept of old age and aging for a comprehensive overview, and we summarized the concepts of health and illness in old age and issues of geriatric nursing and nursing care in homes for the elderly. We analyzed in detail individual areas of health literacy, the acquired knowledge was applied in the research section. The objectives were achieved through a qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews. The set for research was chosen on purpose. In the set, there were clients of retirement homes and nurses that works in these homes. The research part focused on the identification of seniors' health literacy took place in two stages, a cognitive function test was first performed with the selected seniors, and it was then followed by an in-depth interview with cognitively intact seniors. The data were processed using text coloring. In the research focused on seniors, there were created 4 categories with 9 subcategories and in the nurse's research, there were 3 categories with 7 subcategories. The research shows that the level of health literacy of the elderly population differs depending on the specific area of health literacy, but it can be summed up that the seniors generally have insufficient health literacy due to the abandonment of initiative and responsibility in the care of their person and decision-making about their health status to the medical staff. In order to increase their health literacy, education is needed especially in the effect of lifestyle on health, the preventive behaviour, the causes and the possible complications of the diseases and the side effects of the used drugs. In the second part of the research we found that the role of a nurse in the home for the elderly is not only irreplaceable in increasing the health literacy of seniors, but very time and psychologically demanding, therefore, it always does not reach the qualities that the nurses themselves would like.

Abstract The aim of the thesis: To determine most common causes of pertussis in childhood is the aim of this submitted research thesis. It also describes the possibilities of child prevention from the point of view of nurses. The other aims are description the specifics of nursing care for children with pertussis. Five research questions have been defined in relations to these objectives. The way of achieving the aim: The qualitative research method was chosen to achieve the objectives of the thesis. This method was implemented through in-depth interviews. On the basis of identified research questions, individual categories have been formulated in order to get answers to individual questions. For selection of communication partners the method of intentional selection was chosen. Research was realized at Jihlava Hospital in Children's Department. Anonymous interviewing was attended by a total of 20 communication partners. All of them have a nursing education and have performed nursing care for a child with a pertussis disease. In-depth interviews with parents were carried out in General Practitioner for children and adoration. Anonymous survey were agreed by 7 parents whose children suffered from pertussis. Scientific benefits of the thesis: This research study deals with the current issue of pertussis as an omitted infection. The scientific results of the research are intended for both the lay and professional public. The research study presents a complex and comprehensive overview of nursing care for children with pertussis. It will find use in both preventive care and also in taking care of the patient directly on the bed. Part of the scientific thesis is application into practice. The lessons learned and conclusions: Diseases of pertussis are most at risk for newborns and infants, for whom their parents pose a significant threat of infection without the parents becoming aware of it. One of the main measures is to vaccinate not only children but also parents and close relatives who come to close contact with the newborn. Parents are often unaware of adult vaccination in the prevention of childhood illness. Nursing care for a child with pertussis disease has its specificities in that it is highly contagious illness and can endanger the life of the child.

Current situation: Educated and qualified nurse can fully do her job, give a patient bio-psycho-social-spiritual needs and satisfy them. This can happen only if optimal conditions are given to her, which means the optimal number of nursing staff. The aim of the study was to set the optimal number of nursing staff at surgical department in the Hospital of the Vysočina region, which was chosen. A standardized methodology of Pochylá and Pochylý (1999 and 2008) was used. Methodology and the research complex: Quantitative-qualitative method was used in the research. Detailed interviews were used in the first part of the study while talking to nurses of the surgical department of the Hospital of the Vysočina region. In phase two, 26 special nursing procedures were selected and divided into four thematic parts. 520 measurements were made in total, average time of making each special nursing procedure was set. In phase three, average values of nursing one patient in 12 hours at surgical department were set. Daily shots of the procedures were being taken for 14 days (Monday-Sunday). Optimal numbers of nursing staff and their qualified substitution in the Hospital of the Vysočina region were set in the last stage of the research. Results: The research question and three hypotheses were answered by performing and processing the research. The result is that there are statistically major differences in average value of basic and special nursing. 21 patients in average were treated in the hospital in the first week of research. The average nursing time for this number of patients in 12 hours was 3585 minutes 1027 minutes of basic nursing care and 1718 minutes of special nursing procedures. In the second week of research, 24 patients were treated at the department in average. The average nursing time for this number of patients was 3647 minutes in 12 hours 1036 minutes of basic nursing care and 1675 minutes of special nursing procedures. Statistically major differences were confirmed even during special nursing procedures. The longest average time was measured while incoming of patients, transferring, discharging (14,31 minutes) and the shortest average time was measure while applicating medicine into body cavities (0,5 minutes). Based on the research we can say that the number of staff at selected department is for a 12-hour shift optimal. Recommended number of full-time employees is 5, the real number is 5,4. Conclusion and recommendation: The output of this thesis is recommendation for management of nursing care regarding the issue of getting and maintaining the optimal number of nursing staff.

Ischemic heart disease belongs to the most frequent diseases in developed countries. I have chosen this topic not only because I am interested in this issue but also because I work at emergency ward of internal medicine and majority of patients there suffer from this disease. There are two parts in my thesis {--} the theoretical and the research part. The theoretical part deals with heart anatomy and physiology, with epidemiology and aetiology, with risk factors, with classification, clinical picture, diagnostics, with treatment and prevention of ischemic heart disease. Further, the thesis survey educational process, roles, mission, function and competences of a nurse. The first objective of the thesis was to find out the awareness of nurses´ competences in the area of secondary preventive care in patients with ischemic heart disease. The second objective was to find out, whether nurses are able to apply their competences in the area of secondary preventive care in patients with ischemic heart disease. The third objective was to find out involvement of management (head nurses, departmental nurses, shift nurses) in the secondary preventive care in patients with ischemic heart disease. The fourth objective of the thesis was to find out whether nurses use their knowledge of secondary prevention in patients with ischemic heart disease. Four hypotheses were set for the above mentioned objectives. H1: Nurses are aware of their competences in the area of secondary preventive care in patients with IHD. H2: Nurses are able to apply their competences in the area of secondary preventive care in patients with IHD. H3: Shift nurses, motivated by head nurses, are more involved in the secondary prevention in patients with IHD. H4: Nurses use their knowledge in the area of secondary prevention in patients with IHD. A questionnaire was made up to achieve the objectives and to prove or to disprove the hypotheses of this research. The questionnaire contained 24 questions {--} closed and semi-closed. The research sample was formed from nurses from South Bohemian and central-Bohemian regions. 377 questionnaires were handed out. 242 questionnaires returned and 230 of them were applicable to the research. The first, second and fourth hypotheses were proved. Shift nurses are more involved in secondary prevention in patients with IHD, however, not on the basis of motivation by head nurses, thus, the fourth hypothesis was not proved. I also revealed that nurses do not have sufficient knowledge in the area of secondary preventive care in patients with IHD. On the grounds of these results we created mental maps on ischemic heart disease and its prevention. These maps might enhance nurses´ knowledge and improve the life of patients with ischemic heart disease.
