Considering the permanently increasing resistance of infectious diseases, bacteria and viruses, it is necessary to acquaint our students with inovations in the field of treating patients with the help of barrier nursing. It is very beneficial for the students to familiarize how the other EU states advance in this field and thus decrease the potential risk of infection transmission to patients. This project arose on the grounds of all partnership organizations needs analysis. The aim of this project is quality improvement and intensification of specific nursing activities as well as acquiring new skills in the field of barrier nursing. Another goal is the possibility and recommendation of quality barrier nursing examples transmission, adopting new creative and inovative methods in treating patients with barrier nursing and their application in tuition of nursing and in specialized practice, familiarization with new tuition and study materials of partnership organizations concerning barrier nursing, personal growth and motivation of lerners and teachers in practice, improvement of language skills, acquiring personal experience with tuition at foreign school, forming links of international collaboration and intercultural relations (mutual collaboration on future projects, getting new contacts).The project is aimed to the target group of secondary nursing school students, whose task will be to find out in the medical institutions inovations and news in the field of barrier nursing. The criterion for selection of students will be the study branch. The concerned students would be the from the 3rd year of study of the branch Medical assistant. The students of all schools that could be concerned will be informed about the possibility of taking part in the educational stay through the school websites, notice on the main noticeboard, informative leaflets and personal meeting of the applicants with the project manager. Students will be informed, that criteria for applicants selection will be the study results, technical knowledge, language skills, motivation, social adaptability and maturity, general study prerequsites, which can be defined as a specific study potential. The students´ task will be to find out inovations and news in the field of barrier nursing right in the medical institutions.Each partnership organization will prepare a work group (6 learners and 2 accompanying teachers). The group will gather necessary information and transfer it to its home organization. The planned journeys are: Czech group to Slovenia, Slovenian group to Turkey, Turkish group to the Czech republic. Each work stay will take 5 work days + 2 days for travelling. Each group will have a task to fill in the necessary information into the portfolio (according to the manual formerly prepared). The portfolio will include three main parts: 1. protective aids 2.desinsection 2. sterilization.

They will also carry out the PDF handbook for the whole organization accompanied with photographs from the stay, everything will be put in the portfolio. Finally, there will be carried out a handbook in English for all 3 organizations containing 9 presentations and 9 articles – 3 for using protective aids (Czech, Slovenian, Turkish), 3 for desinsection (Cz, Sl, Tu) and 3 for strilization (Cz, Slo, Tur). At the end there will be a short 3 days meeting in the Czech republic (two participants from each partnership organization), where the final version of portfolio will be agreed on.Results of the students´ findings will be elaborated into portfolio (electronic, in English), they will be compared and displayed on the school websites to be freely accessible for interested persons after finishing the project.

Due to our school´s experience with former projects we addressed two of our current partners with an offer to cooperation on creation of the project, that would deal with barrier nursing care. In the project participated: Secondary Nursing School of Prague, as a grant recipient, Srednja Zdravstvena Sola Ljubljana (Slovenia) and Gumushacikoy Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi (Turkey) – all of the three organisations are secondary nursing schools. We agreed on this topic with regard to the fact, that it is the fun damental principle of treating patients and in case of a proper practise of barrier nursing care the transfer of infectious diseases doesn´t occur. We supposed, that the comparison of accesses to this issue in particular countries would bring new knowledge, which would be transferred into practice. The project wth title Comparison of Barrier Nursing in Medical Facilities in Slovenia, Turkey and the Czech republic was approved by the national agency and realized in the period October 2016 – February 2018. The main goals set for the project were the quality improvement and deepening of specific nursing activities and acquisition of new skills in the field of barrier nursing care abroad, adoption of new, creative methods in the process of treating patients with the help of barrier nursing care and their application in tuition of nursing and practical training, improvement of language skills, acquisition of personal experience with tuition at foreign schools and acquisition of skills for publishing ans presentation activities, creation of linkages for international cooperation and intercultural relations. We managed to accomplish the set goals. At the beginning of the project, there was a teleconference of all of the participating organisations. The first educational activity was held in November 2016 in Ljubljaba (Slovenia) at the partner secondary nursing school, where the Czech republic sent its work group. The second educational activity wasn´t held due to the safety situation in Turkey in January 2016, but as agreed with the national agency, the Slovenian group joined the Turkish group and all of the partners met in June 2017 in the Czech Republic. The information, necessary for creation of the portfolio, was handed over during the joint meeting at our school. The third, respectively second educational activity, was actually held in the Czech Republic, where both partnership groups arrived. On 19th October 2017 there was held an international project meeting of representatives of all three partnership organisations. The purpose of this meeting was an agreement for working of evaluation materials, Exchange of acquired skills and experience, comparison of results and assessment of the project. Together with the project partners was created a portfolio, which was completed by each group with information, acquired in visited medical and social facilities and partnership schools. Each group worked out three presentations about barrier nursing care in the particular visited countries. Topic of the presentations are: 1. Protective tools, 2. Disinfection, 3. Sterilisation. An article has been worked out for each presentation. Finally, there was worked out a PDF handbook for all of the participating organisations in English language. Our school has bought the Derma Lite Check Box device, which reveals imperfection after hygienic hands disinfection with the help of UV radiation. It is used during lessons of nursing in tuition of barrier nursing. The portfolio was placed on the web sites of all of the participating schools and sent to selected secondary nursing schools for utilizing of the project results. Project results were presented in the classes of specialized subject classes and in classes of English as well as at the subject commitees for teachers. On 15th November, there was held a conference with the title Nursing in the Czech Republic and Abroad, where the project results were presented in front of students and teachers of our school. There was also worked out a compilation for the konference, which included an article for the presentation, performed at the konference. At the contact seminar, organised by national agency, was presented the management and results of the project in front of about 60 participants of all European and non-European countries. The project was also promoted at the Schola Pragensis fair. All activities, which took place within the project were recorded in the annuals of the schools. Results of the project are presented to the applicants of the study during the school „Open Days“ by the management of the school. The project was promoted on the Facebook pages of participating schools and also at the event called My Erasmus, which was prepared by the organisation „Dům zahraniční spolupráce". The event was also supported by students, who participated in educational activities within the project and who could transfer their own experience with projects financed by EU.
