Organization of the care and nursing process at the stroke center

This bachelor thesis deals with the organization of care and the nursing process at the stroke centre. The bachelor thesis is divided into a theoretical and research part. The theoretical part deals mainly with stroke, patient care at the stroke centre and associations after stroke. The main goal of the theoretical part was to describe a stroke, its treatment and nursing care by a nurse in a patient with stroke. The research part of the bachelor thesis is processed using qualitative research, for which two goals were set and one research question for each goal. The first goal of the research survey mapped the organization of care at the stroke centre. The first research question is related to this goal and examined the course of the organization of care in the stroke centre. The second set goal of the research survey was to determine the course of the nursing process at the stroke centre. To achieve the second goal, a second research question was set asking about the way the nursing process takes place at the stroke centre. Data collection was performed using semi-structured interviews with nurses working at the stroke centre. The research group consisted of six nurses. The interviews were recorded and then literally transcribed. The obtained data were processed using the coding method, the "pencil and paper" technique. The results were then categorized and evaluated. The research showed that we qualify care at the stroke centre as intensive, focusing on patients after stroke. With regard to ischemic stroke, the patient is hospitalized at a stroke centre with ongoing thrombolysis, which has been applied by the nurse at the emergency department after CT scan. In the case of hemorrhagic stroke, the patient is treated conservatively at the stroke centre. At the same time, we learned how the nursing process takes place in a patient after stroke who is hospitalized at a stroke centre. The results of the survey are used to create a basis for a seminar for nurses working at the stroke centre, which will serve to deepen their knowledge.
