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.
