Bezpečná ošetřovatelská péče / Safe Nursing Care

Patients{\crq} safety is a global problem and we are increasingly thinking about the possibilities of improving the quality of care provided. This is a priority for all health care providers, including nurses. We must not forget the patients and their close family because they are our partners and the nurses should seek to ensure that the patients themselves are actively involved in the care of their health and play an important role in preventing some unwanted errors. The theoretical part of the thesis is devoted to a detailed analysis of the concept of safety and safe care and the associated negatives. The goal of the thesis was to determine which resources are used to maintain the level of safe nursing care by nurses with specialized training. Six hypotheses were determined. The quantitative survey technique was used to achieve the objectives of this thesis and to verify the hypotheses. The group consisted of nurses from all over the Czech Republic in the month of February 2010 studying on a specialized training course of the NCO/ NZO (National Center of Nursing/ Non- medical health disciplines) in Brno. The results imply that the nurses interviewed do not use enough resources to help reduce the risk of errors leading to an increase in the level of safe nursing care. The proposed measures are intended to increase the use of resources for maintaining the level of safe nursing care which is a clearly dependent on the awareness of their existence. This also strongly urges management to make more use of various resources and inform all medical staff not only nurses about new procedures and analyses carried out on a regular basis. Managers should conduct a regular and detailed analysis of past errors or incidents to establish the risk of error and take steps to minimize such unwanted events. The results of the survey will be provided to the professional public, published in professional journals and can serve as a basis for comparing other survey research.
