Research Background:
Jan Pospíchal's scientific and creative focus stems from cardiology nursing, where he focused on assessing the quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease during his doctoral studies in Nursing (PhD 2018). Since 2013, he has been teaching cardiology and intensive care in bachelor's and master's degree programmes and conducting research in the field of nursing at the Department of Clinical Disciplines, Faculty of Health Studies, University of Pardubice. At the same time, he works at the Medical Rescue Service of the Pardubice Region.
His research focuses on nursing care in cardiology and intensive care. The main focus is on assessing the knowledge of professionals and undergraduate students in the field of cardiology.
Jan Pospíchal is currently a member of the scientific team led by Mgr. Vít Blanař, Ph.D., who is working on the improvement of nutritional care in nursing. He focuses in particular on the possibilities of early diagnosis of energy or protein-energy malnutrition, evaluation of nursing interventions in the context of nutritional care and assessment of nurses' and non-medical health workers' knowledge about malnutrition. New research directions include linking nutritional assessment of geriatric patients with taste testing using taste foils developed by another research team at the FZS UPCE and nutritional assessment in specific patient groups. Changes in taste have been demonstrated in geriatric inpatients, which may be related to reduced food intake or an undesirable preference for certain foods. This fact opens new research directions concerning food modification in relation to patients' taste preferences.
