Esential principles affecting quality provided by nursing care in nurses at home care agencies

The name this work is The Basic Principles that Affect the Nursing Care of Nurses in the Home Care Agencies. Its target was to find out whether observing the basic principles of a complex home care can, according to nurses, affect the quality of the nursing care. The above principles are: a principle of the support of the society health renewal, a principle of human rights observance, a principle of procedure standardization, a principle of the continuous education of the team members, a principle of ethical aspects and a principle of complexness. Within this work we focused mainly on the last three principles. There is the history of the home care in the present state, its developement and forms of such care, the individual principles have been analysed and the most important ones have been described in detail. A non-standard questionnaire has been used for the research, intended for nurses in the home care agencies. It has been distributed mainly in South Bohemian region and a few questionnaires also in the West Bohemian region. The research showed that all the set hypotheses have been confirmed. The nurses agree that the continuous education, standards application and observation of ethical principles affect the quality of the nursing care. This work can be used as a basis for teaching the communal nursing in all types of communal institutions, which deal with such problems. Further it can serve as a source of interesting information for nurses, who start working in home care agencies. It can also be used for presentations in seminars or conferences for nurses
