Attitudes of nurses to nursing care for terminally ill clients in the long term care Departments
SCHMIDOVÁ, Žaneta
Terminal phase means gradual and irreversible failure of vital functions and organs ending in death. This state directly precedes death. We can understand terminal stage as dying itself. "Nevertheless the term dying must in no case be reduced to terminal phase" (Kelnarová, 2007, p. 10). It is the most demanding phase for a nurse and the whole team caring about a dying patient (Theová, 2002).This thesis deals with mapping nursing care of clients at terminal stage and the possibilities of coping with the care of dying clients and their family members for nurses.The research part was elaborated in the form of qualitative research. The aim was to obtain high quality data to given topic. The technique of semi structured in-depth interview was chosen as the most suitable method. Each respondent was given a number. Lines were subsequently numbered to enable references. The data were analysed by the paper-and-pencil method and four categories were created. Ten subcategories were created within the given categories. The information obtained was processed in schemes. The interviews were performed from February to April 2014.The research sample consisted of six nurses working at a long-term care department. The nurses were intentionally chosen in various categories to get the most objective possible data. There was also one man working at the position of a nurse.The respondents' answers showed that nurses working at the long-term care department have basic knowledge of the issue, are able to get oriented in the problems of dying, the terminal stage length, are able to describe the frequency of meeting with a dying client. The nurses cope well with satisfying the needs of terminally ill clients, they do not omit any of the needs. The nurses are capable of having holistic approach to clients. They take the demands of the care about a dying client as a part of their work, they make no difference and care about a dying person as of any other client at their department. They describe their experience with the dying and their families, they only describe communication with a dying client and his/her family as problematic and sometimes they are not sure whether they act correctly and are afraid of hurting someone. They communicate with such a client and his/her family according to their best conscience and they hope that their approach is the right one. The research has also shown that the nurses are able to prevent the burnout syndrome, they understand that they have to care about themselves, they must like their work, have positive approach to life. They perceive burnout syndrome as a problem, they try to prevent it and if they feel symptoms of inconvenience and dissatisfaction with their job they try to find the better aspects and not to give up. Except for one respondent, who describes herself as burned out. This is however given by the respondent's personality itself.The research shows that nurses have sufficient knowledge of the problems of terminally ill clients at their department, that they are able to provide quality nursing care. They however admit that sometimes they are not completely sure whether they treat a client correctly not to hurt him/her in given situation. After this fact was discovered a brochure was prepared giving nurses instructions for general approach to dying clients and help them minimize negative impact on a client.

The influence of stress on the duality of life and the work efficiency of workers in the helping professions
KOVÁŘÍKOVÁ, Lenka
This bachelor thesis deals with the Impact of stress on the quality of life and work performance of staff in helping professions. Currently, the challenge is the omnipresence of stress factors in day-to-day life and the impact of stress on quality of life and our health. The bachelor thesis you are holding in your hands is an attempt of a compact view of stress and its impact on quality of life. The paper is devoted to a harmful stress that can suppress potential, negatively affect work performance and health status, as well as positive stress, which can positively affect the workload and develop creativity and motivation. The theoretical part of the thesis is focused on working with specialised literature on the basis of which describes the characteristics of stress, effects on health and mental balance in both work and personal life. In addition, I pay attention to individual causes of stress, reactions of the organism, their solutions and the effect on the human body and spirit. Finally, the thesis is devoted to stressors and typical stressful situations that can occur in an environment where the social worker or a worker in social services takes care of clients with special needs. Aim of the thesis focuses on mapping the stress load of staff in selected professional groups and its influence on performance and satisfaction in life. The second objective of my thesis is to find which efficient protective mechanisms and methods selected professional groups use to overcome stress and to maintain a standard quality of life. Before the actual research initiation, two basic research questions were defined: 1) Stress experienced by staff in helping professions has no impact on quality of life. 2) Stress experienced by staff in helping professions has no impact on work performance. The research part was processed in the form of quantitative research through questionnaire survey using two standardised questionnaires with closed questions, supplemented by age, sex and work position of the respondents. The group of respondents was compiled from various age and gender groups, who are social workers or social service workers with professional focus on disabled persons and work with clients requiring special approach to organisations operating in the territory of České Budějovice. A medium-sized observation sample (53 and 72 respondents) was processed in the research investigation. The objective of this thesis was achieved and both initially introduced hypotheses: "Stress experienced by staff in helping professions has no impact on quality of life" and the hypotheses "Stress experienced by staff in helping professions has no impact on work" were confirmed and at the same time can be defined (on the basis of the research) a hypothesis that the majority of surveyed respondents in the helping professions is exposed to multiple sources of stress, nevertheless symptoms of stress are not present at high levels, although methods for coping with stress are not fully adequate. Furthermore, it may be (with regard to quality of life of the chosen group of respondents) also defined a hypothesis that men and women maintain a standard quality of life despite the stress load in the profession. In conclusion, a view could be taken that even though workers in social services and social workers in the helping professions are exposed to stress they are able to work with stress and have mastered mechanisms to help fight against stress and handle the burden which is caused by stress. Despite knowledge of the mechanisms in the fight against stress, it is necessary that the these workers shall continue educating themselves in future and learn to resist stress and be resilient against its negative effects as each respondent has some stress management reserves.

LIŠKOVÁ, Radka
This diploma thesis deals with the theme: Self-reflection of students of schools with the health and social fields of study with respect to the selected field of study. The main objective of the diploma thesis was to find out how the students' view of the chosen field has been changing in the course of study. The theoretical part contains the definition and explanation of terms related to the researched topic. Qualitative methodology was chosen for the research part of thesis. Data were collected using the technique of semi-structured interview. The interviews focused on what influences contributed to the choice of field, whether any differences in the view of the chosen field and the studied issues appeared, and possible reflection of these changes. The research group consisted of ten female students of the "University of South Bohemia in Czech Budejovice", field of study "Rehabilitation - psychosocial care for disabled children, adults and seniors" in the continuing Master's program. The resulting data were analyzed through a process of open coding. It resulted from the research that the motive for selecting the field of study was primarily a desire to help and work with people and interest in problems. Selected field did not meet the expectations of the communication partners, and the majority of them regret their decision in choosing the field of study. The reason is mainly the unsuitable structure of subjects and low salaries in the profession. The advantage of field of study is gaining useful information and competence development. Completing the practical experience is evaluated as positive. A significant part of the communication partners do not feel ready for performance of the profession. Communication partners often changed their attitude to health and social issues in the negative direction. They most often changed their opinion on Roma people. Children and the senior citizens are the most popular target groups. On the contrary, the homeless persons and the Roma people are the least popular. During the study, the communication partners are aware of their shortcomings and risks associated with the profession. All are worried about the "burnout syndrome". Most of the communication partners currently believe that they will be good workers. The obtained results can help enrich the theoretical knowledge of self-reflection of students with regard to the chosen field of study.

The thesis focuses on the potential and benefits of pastoral care in perinatal child loss. Discussion of the main topic of the work is preceded by a definition of perinatal child loss, information on Dead Foetus Syndrome, an introduction to new-born palliative care at neonatal intensive and resuscitative care units, as well as a reference to the experience parents go through in the death of their own child. A brief introduction of the field of practical theology is followed by the characteristics of clinical pastoral care and the potentials for its practical application. Emphasis is placed on the fact that clinical pastoral care can benefit not only sick patients and their loved ones, but also healthcare workers who are often confronted with pain and suffering during the course of their work. This discussion is then followed by a brief mention of the three theological virtues (love, hope, and faith) that are an essential prerequisite to the efforts of pastoral workers. The topic is concluded with a chapter touching on eschatological perspectives, the importance of baptism, and hope for the salvation of children who pass away before having been baptised.
