This thesis focuses on the forms and methods of support for individuals with mental illness aimed at helping them to return to normal life. The individual chapters of the thesis deal with the historical milestones of the emergence of psychiatry, the classification of mental illness and quality of life issues. Therefore, the most used therapeutic methods and strategies of working with clients are defined in the text, which lead to the adoption of appropriate daily habits, improvement of mental health and thus quality of life. The work also focuses on interdisciplinary cooperation, which, in addition to medicine, permeates other disciplines, namely psychology, social work and special education. The topic of my research is timely as an increasing number of people with mental illness are seeking professional help. Therefore, all team members should have sufficient knowledge of the symptomatology and nature of each psychiatric diagnosis. In order for interdisciplinary collaboration to be meaningful, the competencies of the individual professionals must be clearly defined. This creates an interconnected set of services aimed at making the person's integration into society and everyday life as easy as possible.

A general nurse may, without clinical supervision, administer medicinal products with the exception of intravenous injections (IV) or infusions in newborns and children under 3 years of age and with the exception of radiopharmaceuticals. This activity is regulated in Decree No. 55/2011 Coll. by Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic. The preparation and administration of the medicinal product is an integral part of the everyday practice of a l nurse; however, the dimensions of this procedure are very broad, and it does not start and end with the administration of the prescribed medicinal product. In the wider context, this is a multi-disciplinary process, in which other health professionals can participate with their well-founded roles. Determining individual roles and collaboration in the multi-disciplinary team composed of a doctor, a nurse and a clinical pharmacist has an effect on the correct pharmacological treatment of the patient. Of all professions, nurses spend time with patients. 40 % of their time administering medications; therefore, they play a key role in the reduction of medication errors. (Miller et all, 2016). The aim of the research is to analyze the current role of the nurse in the administration of medicinal products from the perspective of a clinical pharmacist. The research...

Early care is a field social service, which provides necessary help and support to parents with a handicapped child. It offers the family many options and, besides other things, valuable advice about the correct early care of a child with a disability. Early care is very important and it needs to be provided within a multidisciplinary team of experts. Nevertheless, cooperation with doctors and with especially paediatricians is not ideal and sometimes, unfortunately, not even real.Qualitative research was chosen to achieve the aims of this diploma thesis. As a method of data collection, the method of questioning was chosen, which took place with individual informants using semi-structured interviews. The data were processed by the technique of grounded theory using three-step coding and determination of grounded statements. The data, which complements the whole empirical part of the diploma thesis, were graphically represented in the ATLAS.ti software programme. The analysis of the data revealed that early care workers consider cooperation in coordinated rehabilitation to be an important part of their professional activities. The results revealed that there are a total of seven early care providers in the South Bohemian Region who have different experiences of cooperation with individual professionals, doctors, and paediatricians. The biggest problem of early care is a difficult establishment of cooperation with paediatricians, who do not refer their patients' parents to the use of early care services. On the contrary, some early care workers revealed that there are also collaborations with medics that are very good and beneficial. Within the bounds of coordinated rehabilitation, early care also cooperates with other entities with which they have very well-established cooperation.This diploma thesis may serve as an informative material not only for early care providers but also for the paediatricians themselves, other health professionals, professionals, or other entities.

This thesis is called Coordinated rehabilitation of clients from selected wards of the Hospital in Ostrov. The aim of the thesis was to compare course and schedule of the coordinated system applied on the clients from selected hospital wards in Ostrov Hospital. Secondary goal was to survey services provided within the frame of the coordinated system of rehabilitation in Ostrov Hospital. In theoretic part of work was performed author?s knowledge of special scientific literature. Notion Coordinated rehabilitation was defined as well as its incorporation within legal regulations. Furthermore International Classification of functional abilities, disabilities and health were referred to briefly.Last subchapter of the theoretical section was dedicated to the introduction of the Ostrov. Observational part was compiled by using method of the qualitative research. Selected technique of the data collection was documentary analysis, survey and questionnaire. Author worked with health documentation of the three clients that was transformed into three casuistries. Those are listed in the chapter Results.Author had asked clients for their permission to be mentioned and published in her work and she received from all casuistic clients their advance agreement in written form. Last supplementary method of the data collection was knowledge questionnaire. This was compiled on the basis of the theoretical part of this work and distributed among staff of the above mentioned wards where the clients were hospitalized. The aim of the research was to answer question, whether single units of the coordinated rehabilitation system applied on the clients from selected wards of the Ostrov hospital are well interconnected? Author?s detailed statement is listed in chapter called Discussion, where she associates herself with theories of specialized publications on Coordinated rehabilitation system written by other authors. During the research phase author came to the conclusion, that both medical and social elements of the Coordinated rehabilitation system work perfectly.Both elements were linked together. However they lacked continuity, contingency or client awareness in the area of working and pedagogical rehabilitation. In neither of casuistries was applied this elementary unit of the Coordinated rehabilitation system. Author?s presupposition was intensified by partial unfamiliarity of the staff with pedagogical and working rehabilitation. For example in question no. 11 where 43 % of the interviewees declared that the only job opportunity available for the handicapped people is protected workshop and protected job for the disabled people.This fact resulted from the knowledge questionnaire given to the staff of Ostrov hospital. Hence functionality and connectivity of the system was primarily influenced by the cooperation of the individual specialists who are part of the client?s multidisciplinary team. Secondly the efficiency of the provided care resulted from the cooperation of the individual clients. This work can be used for educational purposes of individual staff in Ostrov hospital, alternatively in other health centres. Additionally it can be used as valuable source of information for students of health and social care studies, helping health workers, but also for non-professional laic public.

The thesis deals with the issues of nursing care in trauma centres in the Czech Republic. Injuries requiring complex and multidisciplinary treatment apart from surgery therapy are still more frequent nowadays. This is why trauma centres have been established in the Czech Republic. Their establishment increases demands for caring staff of non-physician fields. These increasing demands are of mental and physical character and of course demands for further education.

Hypothesis 2: Nurses working in trauma centres cooperate with nurses from other clinical branches on provision of nursing care. Hypothesis 3: Nurses working in trauma centres get education not only in traumatology, but also in further clinical fields. Hypothesis 4: Nurses working in trauma centres cope with mental stress. Hypothesis 5: Nurses working in trauma centres cope with physical stress. Quantitative research in the form of questionnaires was applied on confirmation or refutation of the hypotheses. The research sample consisted of nurses working in trauma centres in the Czech Republic. Upon evaluation of the results hypotheses 1, 2 and 5 were confirmed and hypotheses 3 and 4 were refuted.
