Modern nursing care is characterized by seeking, planning and satisfying needs of a healthy or an ill person. All this is performed by means of the nursing care process. The nursing care process is considered the basic scientific method of advanced nursing care leading to solution of problems. It has already become an inherent form of individual care planning. Thanks to the nursing care process a nurse has a holistic view of a patient and is able to provide quality care. Nursing care is provided in compliance with the nursing care process principles with regard to the specifics of geriatric care in senior homes. A senior home nurse takes into consideration the specifics of the individual phases of nursing care process in seniors. Senior homes provide residential services to people with lower self-sufficiency particularly caused by higher age and to those who need regular care in the field of self-sufficiency and personal care. Unfavourable social situation does not allow these people to live in their domestic environment. Complex care provided in senior homes substitutes for domestic environment. Seniors are also given health care provided by general nurses. The aim of the thesis was to examine nursing care process application in a senior home and the importance of the nursing care process from the point of view of senior home nurses. The following research questions were set: Which nursing care process phases are applied by nurses taking care about seniors in the senior home? How do senior home nurses feel the importance of nursing care process? Qualitative research by means of in-depth interview and questioning of nurses in a selected senior home in South Bohemia was chosen for collection of necessary information. The interviews were recorded and subsequently literally transcribed. The transcribed interviews were deeply analyzed by means of paper and pencil method by open coding. Four categories were created from the data analysis: Nursing care process, Nursing care process in practice, Nursing care process phases and Compilation of nursing care diagnosis and maintenance of nursing care documentation. Subcategories, where the core data are coded, are assigned to the individual categories, everything is illustrated by clear diagrams of the individual categories. The research shows that nurses have general knowledge of nursing care process. They were able to define nursing care process, to name its phases and to express their attitude to this method. They actively apply the process, but they say it is demanding for them from time and administration point of view. The fact that the knowledge of nursing care diagnosis is very poor among nurses is surprising. With regard to the limited awareness of nursing care diagnoses I propose a seminar explaining this issue. |
