The Jehowah´s witnesses religious society in the context of current nursing
KOSMÁKOVÁ, Alena
Abstract This thesis focuses on the issue of transcultural nursing of the members of Jehovah's Witnesses Christian denomination. Nursing staff faces the rejection of certain medical treatments and problems in communication, respect, and mutual understanding. The theoretical part of the thesis provides a detailed description and analysis of the denomination, providing the details of its foundation, present state, and the influence of its teaching on their members. It reveals the lives and ways of the thinking of Jehovah's Witnesses. Ultimately, this knowledge is highly desirable for understanding their views, feelings and attitudes. It is essential that nursing staff have this knowledge and are able to use it effectively.The designated objectives of the thesis are to analyse the Jehovah's Witnesses Christian denomination in the context of present nursing, to describe the specific features of nursing with respect to patients who are members of the Jehovah's Witnesses Christian denomination, and to analyse potential problems and risks related to nursing members of the Jehovah's Witnesses Christian denomination. To reach the above objectives we have used qualitative research methods. We conducted interviews with 17 persons living in the Czech Republic and in Germany who work in health services. An interview with a former Jehovah's Witness is included in the annex.From our research it follows that there are conflicts of opinion, misunderstandings, disagreements, and negative emotions of the medical staff based on their experience. An important factor is the ward type. Our research has indicated there are more conflicts in highly-specialised wards compared to standard outpatient departments. The study results have indicated that it is necessary to include transcultural nursing generally into secondary nursing education

Satisfaction of patient's spiritual needs in healthcare facilities
MIKEŠOVÁ, Miroslava
This bachelor thesis is called "Satisfaction of patient´s spiritual needs in healtcare facilities.". In the theoretical part of this work I deal with the needs, their distribution, definition and also the needs of a sick person. In the next part of theory, I focused directly on the spiritual needs and the role of the nurse and other workers in accomplishing those needs. Also mentioned the most common religions in the world and religion in our country in the Czech Republic. The main goal of the bachelor´s thesis was to find out what possibilities patients have in satisfying spiritual needs in healthcare facilities. To this goal, two research questions have been identified, RQ1: How are the spiritual needs of patient´s in a particular healthcare facility accomplished?? And RQ2: To what extent do patients use possibilities to satisfy spiritual needs? To accomplish this this goal, we used a qualitative survey conducted in the form of semi-structured interviews with directors from various healthcare facilities. Seven interviews were conducted with directors as a part of this research. The research survey showed how directors of various healthcare facilities have a view of spiritual needs and also how they can define them. Satisfying spiritual needs is very common in hospice facilities. They encounter spiritual needs less or almost never in other facilities. Patients who require spiritual care can primarily use medical staff. The medical staff is then able to mediate a priest, a pastor, or last but not least a hospital chaplain. The output of this bachelor´s thesis is a professional article that will help medical staff, patients or students of medical disciplines to become more acquainted with spiritual needs and their possibilities in satisfaction.
