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.
