Povolanie sestra od čias Florence Nightingaleovej prešlo mnohými zmenami. V priebehu desaťročí sa nemenila len uniforma sestier, ale najmä náplň ich činnosti. Sestra je odborník a rovnocenný partner v zdravotníckom tíme. Je erudovaná a schopná kriticky myslieť a rozhodovať sa. Je nenahraditeľná v posudzovaní a uspokojovaní potrieb pacienta, je aktívna vo zvyšovaní jeho sebestačnosti či v edukácii.

Avšak vždy musí myslieť na to, že jej rozhodnutie sa už nedá vrátiť späť, veď ide o zdravie človeka, o jeho život.
Profesionálne skúsenosti s ošetrovaním chorých doma i v zahraničí, pedagogické a manažérske skúsenosti a najmä vplyv významných odborníkov z oblasti medicíny, s ktorými som spolupracovala, ma priviedli k poznaniu, že sestry by mali získať nielen veľa odborných vedomostí, ale musia nadobudnúť aj precízne zručnosti. A čo je nemenej dôležité, musia byť empatické a konať morálne. Potrebné je, aby sestra cítila osobnú zodpovednosť voči svojim pacientom a ich rodine, aby to bolo pre ňu motivujúce a aby vnímala potrebu ďalej odborne rásť.

The textbook provides a clear view of the importance of respiratory care, with an emphasis on prevention and treatment procedures. The introductory chapters present the anatomical and physiological principles of respiratory function necessary for understanding further contexts of the issue. Methods for facilitating expectoration of mucus and foreign bodies are explained. Great emphasis is placed on correct procedures for humidifying and warming the inhaled mixture, including the basics of aerosol therapy. This is an issue that is particularly important in invasive, but also non-invasive methods of ventilation therapy. The work also contains more detailed physical justifications for the explained principles. From a practical perspective, the chapters that draw attention to frequent errors in the use of humidification and aerosol technologies are also important. The texts are supplemented with many illustrative original images and explanations.

The textbook is intended primarily for doctors, nurses and physiotherapists working in the fields of anaesthesiology and intensive care, emergency medicine, in all workplaces that are dedicated to the treatment and care of patients with respiratory problems, such as pneumology, internal medicine, surgical units treating patients in the postoperative period. Last but not least, it is also an excellent supplementary study material for medical students, nursing students and paramedics.

It is expected that nurses and professionals working in healthcare will be able to perform various specialized procedures, or assist with selected procedures, skillfully, confidently, and safely.

The university textbook of Nursing Techniques guides students through the most commonly performed nursing activities, reflecting the latest knowledge from the profession, evidence-based practice, and professional guidelines. A significant aspect of this publication is its emphasis on patient individuality and involvement in the planning and implementation of procedures, as well as the prevention of complications and the consistent performance of nursing interventions in accordance with the latest professional and scientific knowledge.

The textbook is divided into twelve chapters. In the introductory chapters, the authors address the organization of the nursing unit and infection control in healthcare facilities. Further chapters are devoted to patient assessment, especially vital functions, nutritional care, preparation and administration of various forms of medication, collection of biological material, care of urinary and bowel elimination, nurse assistance during punctures, wound care, and electrocardiographic examination.

The main aim is to address primarily nursing students, but also students of general and dental medicine and selected healthcare disciplines. We believe that both students and professionals will find in this textbook a guide and a practical assistant.
