Christian Aspects of Palliative Care
Kosourová, Noemi ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Štica, Petr (referee)
In my work I deal with the issue of palliative care, which includes variables such as illness, pain, suffering and dying. The first part is focused on these facts, which the terminally ill meet in several variations over time, they consider the issues that affect the essence of their lives and are confronted with the reality. I tried to enlarge the general view around the patient and of his problems with the Christian view , ie the possibility to browse the desperate hope that exceeds life and death. For Christians this hope means Jesus Christ .For the patient to receive this hope there is the Christian Church. The second part of this work deals with specific help, such as companionship, which is the work of chaplains and other Christians, whether in volunteer work, or experts in any of the religious establishments. In conclusion, I try to approach the issue of euthanasia, which just highlights the need for human and compassionate palliative care.

Taking care of family members of a dying client in a home for the eldelrly.
ZIMOVÁ, Eva
People usually die in hospitals, at subsequent care departments and in retirement homes nowadays. Ill people die alone outside the comfort of their homes and in the care of professionals, who are strangers for them. Dying has become an institutionalized process. Dying is first of all a process that consists of three known periods of different length, which are linked together the pre finem, in finem and post finem periods. They are described in chapter 2. Chapter 3 describes the mental response stages according to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in the usual order as the mostly occur. The fourth chapter mentions the needs of the dying and the role of a nurse in their satisfaction. Communication with family members is probably the most demanding activity for a nurse. Communication and its principles is dealt with by the fifth chapter. The sixth chapter describes the phases of grief according to Kubíčková (2001), but also the uncomplicated and complicated grief. The assistance to the family is described in the seventh chapter. A subchapter is also dedicated to counselling for the bereaved.The load on nurses in relation to dying is mentioned at the end of chapter eight. The last, ninth chapter describes a retirement home and the services it provides. The first goal was to examine the readiness of healthcare staff to communicate with the family members of dying clients. The second goal was to find the spheres in which the family members of a dying client need advice. The third goal was to examine the services provided to the family members of a dying client by a retirement home. The research questions:How are general nurses able to cope with communication with the family of a dying patient?What topics do general nurses avoid in communication with the family of a dying patient?What advice are general nurses able to give to the bereaved?What possibilities do retirement homes have to ensure dying with dignity?What services do retirement homes provide?Qualitative research in the form of semi structured interviews was chosen for elaboration of the empiric part of the thesis. The interviews were based on prepared questions and sub questions for general nurses from two retirement homes. One of them is in the South Bohemia Region and the other in the Central Bohemia Region. The sample consisted of eight general nurses. The interviews were recorded in written and then processed into individual categories. The names of the facilities are not mentioned to ensure anonymity. The thesis gives an insight into two addressed retirement homes in different regions. The research has brought the view on the care of family members and valuable comparison of the provided services and the possibilities of the homes. Communication with the family is in some situations unpleasant and stressing for a nurse, however it is frequent and inevitable. The research shows that informing of worsened state and client's death is most unpleasant and stressing. General nurses should be better aware of the phases of dying according to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and they should realize that the family members go through the same phases. We have also found that if family members are not offered assistance and support, they usually do not ask for it. Both the homes are trying to create the environment for dying with dignity according to their possibilities. They offer unlimited visits, spiritual services and also the possibility of the last goodbye, however it is not offered automatically. The choice of funeral service is on the other hand always offered at the death notification.There are differences between the two homes in the environment where the care of the death body is taken, where the last goodbye is held and the inheritance passed. One home has the possibility to care about the deceased in a dedicated room, where also the last goodbye and inheritance passing is held. The other home does not have this possibility.

Palliative care nursing vs. Student of Faculty of Health and Social Studies
LUDAČKOVÁ, Helena
This bachelor thesis deals with the issues of palliative care in relation to students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies, namely to students of the programme General Nurse and Nursing. The thesis intentionally does not detail specialized palliative care, the problems of hospices and further specialized facilities. Here the palliative care works well and a lot has been written about that. Nevertheless most of the students take their practical placements at hospital wards or are employed in hospitals. This is why the thesis mostly deals with general palliative care, which should be a part of every healthcare facility. Actually in the Czech Republic, like in other European countries, an acute hospital is the most frequent place of death (60%). In long-term care hospitals the percentage is 9%. The theoretical part deals with the world and Czech history of palliative care and its development up to these days. It briefly describes both the levels of palliative care, general and specialized, as they are recommended nowadays. The thesis also mentions competences of nurses in palliative care and some specific problems and needs of incurably ill patients. These needs are divided into physical, psychical, social and spiritual although they are sometimes strongly linked. The thesis had two goals. The first goal was to map the awareness of palliative care among students; the other goal was to find out what experience the students have with palliative care and what kind of feelings this topic evokes in them. Quantitative research was used in the research part, an anonymous questionnaire was chosen as the data collection technique. The respondents answered 30 questions. 12 questions were closed, 9 questions were open and 9 semi-closed. Students of the first to third years of the bachelor programme General Nurse, Nursing branch from full-time and combined courses, and students of master programme of Nursing, specialization Nursing in Selected Clinical Fields, also from both course types of both years were addressed.
