Aim of the thesis An aim was set for the survey: To map human life dignity in hospital bed. Methods of reaching the aim The aim was reached through qualitative and quantitative questionnaire construction. In the qualitative part of the research construction, a half structured interview was applied. Ten general nurses were questioned in the Subsequent Care Department and the same number of informants in the Internal Department. The interviews were coded by "pencil and paper" method. In the quantitative questionnaire construction, non-standardized questionnaires were applied. These questionnaires were printed. The respondents were patients hospitalized in the Subsequent Care Department and patients in the Internal Department. For statistical verification of hypotheses, Chi-squared Test was applied. Scientific contributions of the thesis Respecting human dignity or dignified approach to patients in hospital facilities is essential part of nursing care. Medical personnel should have basic theoretical knowledge that enable them to respect human dignity in its practical sense. This thesis is suitable as a motivating material especially for nurses, who should bring the patients comfort without a feeling of undignified dealing. Furthemore, it can be used as informative material for the public, especially for patients, or can be presented at special seminars. Gained knowledge, conclusion Based on qualitative questionnaire construction it appears that general nurses have knowledge of dignified approach towards patients. From quantitative survey is obvious that dignity of patients in the Subsequent Care Department as well in Internal Department is respected satisfactorily, however there are some flaws which concern for example suitable introduction of the personnel or lack of information before the medical service or during it. |
