Expectations of mothers hospitalized at childbed ward, in newborn-care area

Bachelor{\crq}s thesis entitled ``Expectations of mothers hospitalized in the maternity ward in the field of newborn care{\crqq} has a research nature. The work is divided into two parts {--} a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part has seven main chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the psychomotor development of the newborn. The second chapter is devoted to newborn care in the labour ward. The third and fourth chapters are devoted to nursing care in the newborn ward and to the needs of a newborn. The fifth and sixth chapters are devoted to breastfeeding and formula milk. The last chapter is devoted to discharge and care at home. The practical part is devoted to research. The aim of the work was to map out expectations of mothers hospitalized in the maternity ward in the field of newborn care and to find out the level of satisfaction with the nursing care of the newborn among mothers after childbirth. In order to prove or reject the hypotheses, I used a questionnaire with 16 questions. 115 questionnaires were handed out, 105 were returned. The rate of return was 91%. The results were translated in to graphs. The sample for the questionnaire research consisted of mothers on the third day after childbirth hospitalized under the rooming-in system; there were 100 mothers in the end sample. In the first hypothesis I presumed that mothers expect to gain basic information {--}especially practical - on providing basic needs in the care of the newborn. On the basis of processing the data obtained it was found that mothers prefer individual theoretical discussions with practical examples. The first hypothesis was therefore rejected. In the second hypothesis I presumed that mothers are satisfied with the provided nursing care of the newborn. The second hypothesis was proven; mothers are satisfied with nursing care provided. I would like to inform the nurses in the newborn ward about the results of my research
