Study programmes

According to Věstník MZČR No 6/2021, nursing is an independent discipline of science. As one of few fields, it perceives the human in a very complex way and employs knowledge and methods derived from medical sciences, humanities, physical, biological and behavioural sciences, theory of management, leadership and theory of education. Therefore, nursing is a multidisciplinary field, building on the knowledge and practice of other fields, as well as employing interconnection between particular disciplines. The field of nursing possesses its own theoretical base, which is further developed. The nursing team, as part of the team of health care professionals, performs necessary activities leading to high-quality and safe care of the patient.
The objective of implementation of the study programme is training the students to perform the activities that are done by a general nurse within the professional competence without indication and in compliance with the diagnosis established by the doctor, on the base of the indication and under the doctor’s professional supervision. The contents of the study programme include theoretical knowledge in sciences that nursing is based on. Further, selected social disciplines that enable to better understand behaviour of both well and sick people, changes in the society, and also the relation between a person’s health state and their physical as well as social environment, and that also facilitate creation of professional competences and personal qualities of the students. The students will also learn about selected research methods used in nursing. Another important component of the education is the practical training, whose aim is mastering the nursing procedures, skills of planning, providing and evaluating the health care, dealing with both well and sick clients, and working in a team.
