Hospice Movement in the World and in the Czech Republic.
MÍŠKOVÁ, Vendula
The bachelor thesis deals with the topic of the hospice movement across history and continents. This is a theoretical work using a search compilation of resources. It describes basic concepts such as hospice or palliative care, terminal stage of illness, dying, death and the stage of dying according to psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, which are very closely related to the topic. The main goal of this work is to create a comprehensive overview, not only of the origin and history of palliative hospice care in selected countries (Europe - Czech Republic, United States, Australia, People's Republic of China - specifically the Hong Kong region, Latin America - Chile and Argentina, Russia, Australia and Central Africa). Last but not least, there are types of hospice care, including the legislative entrenchment in the legal order of the Czech Republic. The bachelor thesis also focuses on the standards and principles of palliative care in the Czech Republic in comparison with other countries of selected continents. The Association of hospice palliative care providers unite hospices in the Czech Republic, so the work also focuses on the current list of its full members. There are also many myths about dying in a hospice, which is why I mention the most common misconceptions about living in a hospice. The content of the thesis also mentions the current process of approving euthanasia, which the Government of the Czech Republic is currently striving for.
