The nurse's work in the care of the patient in the terminal stage.
 LAŠKOVÁ, Vendula
The bachelor thesis submitted deals with the topic of palliative treatment of dying people. Its aim is to map the approaches used by nurses during palliative treatment of dying patients admitted either to hospitals for long-term patients (LDN) or to inpatient hospices. This work explores the differences in treatment and in meeting the requirements of these hospitals. Three research questions were identified in the present work: 1. "How does a nurse take care of patient's biological needs when he/she is effectively dying?" 2. "How does the nurse take care of patient 's psychological and spiritual requirements?" 3. "How does the nurse take care of patient's social needs?" The research part was conducted methodologically and qualitatively by using the technique of semi-structured interviews with nurses who work either in LDNs or in inpatient hospices. The interviews were steered on the basis of a prepared questionnaire. The research group consisted of a total of sixteen nurses. The interviews were recorded and subsequently typed. The gained data yielded evidence that was put it through the coding method (via "pencil and paper" technique) in order to obtained the categorized results. Based on the obtained information, the research shows the differences in terms of treatment provided in hospitals for long-term patients (LDN) and in inpatient hospices. Whereas LDN nurses are focused primarily on patients' biological needs, nurses in inpatient hospices, apart from providing the biological needs of patients, focus more on spiritual and psychosocial requirements. Another difference can be seen in the individual approach to patients provided adequately in inpatient hospice. This difference is justified by LDN nurses' saying that they have to look after a large number of patients while facing a lack of medical staff. Despite the difficult conditions, LDN nurses try to ensure that this lack of staff is not reflected in their work. Clearly, many of them take their work as a mission. The bachelor thesis can be a source of information for both nursing students and nurses. A brochure has been created that can help nurses work with patients who are terminally ill.
