A number of programmes for the lifelong education are being established at universities within the framework of the lifelong education transformation. The programme mentioned here can serve by way of example.
The target of the communication is evaluation of the contents of the courses and finding the feedback obtained via the students.
Eight short-term thematic educational courses aimed at the lifelong education were compiled and prepared and, based on results of processing and feedback acquired via the participants, the contents of the themes were evaluated.
One hundred and thirty six participants took part in the evaluation and each course was separately evaluated. The educational themes prepared were positively evaluated by the participants. The participants of the education were satisfied with the level of educational materials as well as technical provisions. The courses New trends in nursing care in perinatology and paediatrics, Communication in nursing, Multicultural nursing and Theoretical aspects in nursing enjoyed the best appreciation. In the themes named New trends in nursing care for acute conditions, New trends in nursing care for adults and seniors, Management of healthcare and nursing services and Nursing process and human needs, it would be suitable to incorporate certain comments noticed in feedback questionnaires.
It was demonstrated that the courses should be furthermore implemented and extended with focusing on comments of participants. Based on the evaluation of project results, it will be possible to use the method and training materials not only for the education of new professionals within the framework of the profession of general nurse, but also to employ this know-how for training of adequate target groups in other regions of the Czech Republic. The educational courses formed in this way can be implemented in further education of general nurses throughout the Czech Republic in the form of short-term thematic courses, which will be offered after completing the project to those interesting in the lifelong education at the Faculty of Health and Social Education, the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice.
