Nursing care provided to clients of the Jewish religion in the Czech Republic and Austria
VEJVALKOVÁ, Eva
The main aim of the thesis was to find out the possibilities of providing nursing care to Jewish clients in CZ and Austria, to make a comparison of providing nursing care in both countries and also to find out knowledge of nurses concerning the care of clients with Jewish religion. We put four research questions and this: What are the specifics of nursing care of clients with Jewish religion? What are the differences in the care of clients with Jewish religion between the Czech Republic and Austria? What kind of possibilities of nursing care have in their disposal clients with Jewish religion in the Czech Republic and in Austria? What knowledge have sisters caring for a client with Jewish religion? Qualitative investigation was carried out. It had a form of a personalized non-standardized interview and an analysis of Internet sources. Research sample consisted of 4 nurses from the Czech Republic and Austria. Resource analysis was carried out from the website. Interviews were recorded on a tape recorder and afterwards were overwritten. Interviews with Austrian colleagues were translated in advance. Interviews constitute the basis from which categorization was created, by using the framework of analysis, which was also illustrated by diagrams. The source analysis together with an interview with a nurse from the Austrian institution was illustrated in the diagram too. From the results it is clear that all nurses from the Czech Republic as well as from Austria are aware of the specifics of nursing care of a Jewish client. Differences of the care of clients with Jewish religion between the Czech Republic and Austria are dependent primarily on the knowledge of nurses. Austrian sisters proved that their knowledge is deeper, more accurate and more specific, which is reflected on nursing care. Czech nurses have in comparison with Austrian ones just basic knowledge. This fact can´t cover the nursing care in holistic approach. he results indicate that institutions for clients with Jewish religion are both in the Czech Republic and in Austria. The Austrian one has in comparison to the Czech one a long tradition and many times larger capacity. It should be noted that in the Austrian institution not only clients with Jewish religion are hospitalized. The observance of Jewish traditions and customs is a matter of course in both institutions. Surprisingly, despite the multicultural nursing in the study plan, which the Austrian nurses did not attended, their knowledge was a lot better than of their Czech colleagues. Nowadays a holistic approach is required and without such knowledge it cannot be fulfilled appropriately. This thesis should point out at the necessity of nurses´ education in the multicultural nursing issues.
