The main goal of this diploma thesis is to reflect the hospital spiritual care in Czech Republic nowadays and to compare it with its beginnings. The theoretical part maintains holistic approach to human being and emphasizes spiritual needs as a basis for hospital spiritual care. It also gives an overview of recent forms of hospital spiritual care in Czech Republic. The research part examines the patients' opinions and experience of spiritual care during their stay in hospitals. Questionnaire-based survey was done in seven Prague hospitals with 237 patients (96 of them used the chaplain service, 141 did not). The short interviews with Prague chaplains and patients regarding spiritual care complete the work. Research findings result in non-answered (and maybe non-answerable) questions: Can hospital chaplains quit their church membership and affiliation and not to serve to the church evangelization Mission? Is it possible to be "a spiritual, but non religious" chaplain and not to lose the chaplain identity? Is it - in general - possible to distinguish "spirituality" from "religiosity"?

Integrating spiritual and religious needs in the nursing process in Tábor hospital corp.
PETERKOVÁ, Blanka
During an illness, spiritual and pastoral needs play an important role, although their saturation is not yet accorded such importance as is the case in meeting biological, psychological or social needs. The first objective of the work was to determine how spiritual and pastoral care is integrated into the nursing process at the wards of Nemocnice Tábor, a. s. (Tábor Hospital). The second objective was to determine the satisfaction of clients/patients with the provision of such care. A qualitative research study was conducted based on semi-standardized interviews with nurses and clients of Tábor Hospital, and also with the clergymen and pastoral assistants who provide spiritual care in the hospital. The research sample consisted of 10 ward nurses, 10 hospitalized clients, 2 hospital chaplains and 2 pastoral assistants. The investigation revealed that the spiritual and pastoral care is incorporated in Tábor Hospital in the form of religious services, providing sacraments, conversations of clergymen and pastoral assistants with clients. Nurses are involved rather in the emotional support of clients and they do not basically saturate their spiritual needs, especially in consideration of their work load as well as their unfamiliarity with this issue. Clients are not satisfied with the providing of spiritual and pastoral care, because such care is not provided to them, particularly on the part of nurses.

The Spiritual Care in Hospitals in the South Bohemia region
HRUBÁ, Jitka
Spiritual Care in Hospitals in the South Bohemian Region In contemporary holistic perspective, we see man as an integrated unity existing and functioning in four dimensions. These are biological, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions. All these spheres create a whole; they are inseparable and they influence each other. Therefore, caring for the ill can be characterized as a combination of these aspects {--} taking care of his biological needs, assistance in his social needs, identification and fulfilling of his psychological needs and help in meeting his spiritual needs. Spiritual needs are inherent in man{\crq}s nature and so it would be erroneous to suppose that they are present and pronounced only in people who are believers. The intensity of the urge to satisfy these needs changes during life. Research done on this topic has revealed that this kind of need intensifies in old age and illness. In some countries, it is already common that hospitals employ spiritual workers or hospital chaplains. In the Czech Republic, there has been a discussion going on regarding the introduction of the hospital chaplain function and several hospitals have one already. The goal of this work is to present an overview of the offer and ways of providing spiritual care in the individual hospitals in the South Bohemian region and to find out whether the offer of spiritual care in these hospitals corresponds with the needs and interest of the patients. The work should also find out what kind of spiritual assistance the patients are interested in {--} whether they would welcome if the hospitals employed their own chaplains or if regular visit of a clergyman suffice, and also, who should perform the role of the hospital chaplain {--} whether a clergyman or a qualified layman. The hypotheses will be verified through a quantitative research. To find out the intensity and kind of interest of patients in satisfying their spiritual needs and to ascertain the level of their satisfaction with offered services, a method of questionning will be used. The research will be conducted through a standardized questionnaire and a guided interview with patients who are unable to fill it in. Possible ways of satisfying spiritual needs will be assessed by the method of questionning through guided interviews with head nurses in the individual hospitals in the South Bohemian region.
