Struktura pracovních a manažerských činností zdravotních sester v řídících funkcích

Thesis deals with structure of working and managerial activities of department and head nurses in Czech hospitals. As the managers in the first line and middle level they have a huge influence on the total level and quality of nursing health care. Therefore their level of managerial activities is very important. The aim of the thesis is to create and apply a methodology of monitoring of the work structure independent on the founder, hospital size and department/clinic orientation. For these reasons, the author cooperated with the Faculty hospital of St. Anna in Brno, Faculty hospital Brno, Army hospital Brno, Faculty hospital Ostrava, Hospital Trebic and Hospital Znojmo. There is used auto screening method, in the thesis. Measurements were proceeded for all department nurses and head nurses in Hospital Znojmo and Army hospital Brno. In order to achieve the aim of the thesis there were used the above-mentioned auto screening method and analysis of internal hospital documents, questionnaire research and interviews. The questionnaires were filled-in before beginning the auto screening and they investigated own estimation of working time consumptions of department and head nurses. Results were compared with statistical results of auto screening. The statistical results, proposals and recommendations were given to the deputy-managers for health care. In praxis we can often hear the statement, that nurses in the Czech Republic are overloaded with administrative tasks. The analysis of structure of working and managerial activities should either confirm or falsify this statement. The hypotheses were postulated to confirm or falsify correlation of variable load of administrative/managerial activities with the variables number of subordinates, total length of health care praxis or praxis in a managerial function
