Nosocomial infections, which do not often relate to the diseases are increasing nowadays. Clostridium difficile belongs to the frequent nosocomial infections and it is known as post-antibiotic colitis. The main reason of colitis is the usage of antibiotics, especially broad-spectrum antibiotics. The thesis is divided into the theoretical part and practical, as well. Theoretical part describes the division of the nosocomial infections, infection of the intestinal tract, anatomy, physiology of the intestines and infectious diarrhoeal diseases. The thesis is subsequently aimed to the clostridial infections and precautions against the spread of the disease. Practical part is aimed to the knowledge of the nurses, skills and attitude towards this issue.The thesis uses quantitative investigation and technique of the questionnaires, hidden observation of the nurses working on the selected wards and additional interviews with head nurses. The research was conducted in hospital in Tábor, a.s. The questionnaires were distributed on the surgery, orthopaedics, surgical JIP, ARO, ONP, infective ward, rehabilitative ward, TRN, cardio JIP, internal ward-cardio, internal ward-gastro. The thesis was formed from 143 questionnaires and 171 questionnaires were distributed. Hidden observation was made by head nurses from individual wards and it was logged to the relevant observation sheets.From existing findings we can say that there exist specifics of nursing care at the patient with the clostridium difficile. Among to these specifics we can cite the barrier nursing care where we can include the isolation of the patient, disinfection and hygiene of hands,using protectors, appropriate usage of laundries and infectious waste, location of the patient according to the epidemiological perpective and individualization of the tools for the patients. From another investigation ensue that the nurses keep barrier nursing care, superficial disinfecion, decontamination of the tools. From the results is evident that the nurses do not know the methods of the transmission of the clostridial infection. On the base of another investigations we have found out that the nurses do not know principles of the barrier nursing care. In conclusion is it possible to say that the nurses do not have so extensive information, that are essential for care for the patiens with clotridium difficile. In order to care for these patients in right way is neccessary to know principles of the barrier nursing care and keep them all. Keeping the principles of the barrier nursing care is crucial step in preventing the transmission nosocomial infections. The results will be provided to the officials of the individual hospital´s wards as an option of improvement in caring for the patiens with clostridial infection. The results were partially presented at a conference in Tabor´s hospital in May 2014. We recommend to re-train the staff of the hospital, which would be specifically aimed towards the principles of the barrier nursing care and towards the disinfection and decontamination in related to the nosocomial infections. On the base of these findings was made a proposal of the nursing care standard, which would specify and unite the care for the patiens with clostride infection. Subsequently, it would be apropriate to repeat the research in 1 2 years and than both researches compare together.
