I selected the topic of the diploma thesis ``Cooperation between a nurse working at a children{\crq}s ward and an anaesthetic nurse in care of a child patient in pre-operation, per-operation and post-operation periods{\crqq} because I am very interested in the work of nurses and in preparation of children and their parents in these periods. These entire periods and the associated activities are very demanding and burdening for all the involved parties. The cooperation and communication between the anaesthetic nurse and the children{\crq}s nurse is crucial for the child to cope with the period. The objective of the diploma thesis was to ascertain the opinions of anaesthetic and children{\crq}s nurses on their cooperation, and to find out whether the cooperation between anaesthetic and children{\crq}s nurses influences satisfaction of a child{\crq}s needs in the concerned periods. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis addresses paediatrics and segmentation of childhood, anaesthesiology and the specifics of childhood, children surgery and nursing care of children in three operation periods in general terms. The practical part is divided into a quantitative and a qualitative subpart. The quantitative subpart is focused on cooperation between anaesthetic nurses and nurses working at the children{\crq}s ward, and uses the data collected by means of a questionnaire, while the qualitative subpart ascertains whether the cooperation between nurses has an influence on the needs of children in the concerned periods, and uses the data obtained from observation of children and interviews of nurses. The summary of the results revealed that hypothesis 1 ``Anaesthetic nurses and nurses working at a children{\crq}s ward cooperate in the pre-operation period{\crqq} was confirmed. Hypothesis 2 ``Anaesthetic nurses and nurses working at a children{\crq}s ward cooperate in the post-operation period{\crqq} was confirmed. Hypothesis 3 ``Anaesthetic nurses are interested in improvement of cooperation with nurses working at a children{\crq}s ward{\crqq} was confirmed. Hypothesis 4 ``Nurses working at a children{\crq}s ward are interested in improvement of cooperation with anaesthetic nurses{\crqq} was confirmed. The qualitative subpart revealed that cooperation between nurses influenced satisfaction of a child{\crq}s needs in the concerned periods. The findings of this diploma thesis may be used by children{\crq}s and anaesthetic nurses or by other persons interested in this issue for the sake of better preparation of a child for the operation period, better satisfaction of a child{\crq}s needs in the concerned period, and provision of more comprehensive care in the period in general.
