Popis: The main aim of this bachelor thesis was to research the way how non-medical healthcare professionals carry out the nursing process at the practitioner's office. To fulfill this aim, the following research question was set: 1) "How is the nursing process at the practitioner's office realized by non-medical healthcare professionals?" Three key goals were set. The key goal G2 was to find out, how are the individual phases of the nursing process carried out at the practitioner's office, with a related research question RQ2: "How do the individual phases of the nursing process at the practitioner's office work?". Other key goal, G3, aims to map out the documentation of the nursing process at the practitioner's office. The research question for this goal, RQ3, was: "How are the individual phases of the nursing process documented?". The last key goal, G4, focuses on the evaluation of further possibilities of the nursing process in the primary care. For this assessment serves the research question RQ4: "How can the nurses realize the nursing process in the primary care to a further extent?" The research part of the thesis was conducted in the form of a qualitative research with the method of half-structured interview. The interviews with the nurses were realized according to questions which were prepared in advance. The research set consists of six nurses, who work in a practitioner's office. The interviews were recorded as an audio file and then rewritten to a text form. The results of the research were processed by the coding method and the technique "pencil-paper". The results were mapped out into four categories and then into sub-categories. The nurses in a practitioner's office carry out the nursing process. All the individual phases of the nursing process are in fact executed, apart from its second phase (setting the nursing diagnosis), which serves as an orientation for the nurse, the decision about the extent of interest in a patient was in the competence of each nurse. The documentation of the individual phases of the nursing process is conducted based on the cooperation of the practitioner and the nurse. For the realization of an extended nursing process in the primary care are important factors such as having more time for a patient, having more experience with the method of the nursing process, also the ability to provide enough healthcare staff and last but not least also more focus on the nursing problems of the patient. This bachelor thesis enables a current view on the realization of the nursing process in the practitioner's office. The found results could be published and raise an interest of the professional public in a new point of view on the implementation of nursing process in the primary care.
