Religious Sisters in Nursing Practice
VACHALCOVÁ, Andrea
In my Bachelor{\crq}s Thesis I focused on some religious orders and congregations whose members work in healthcare facilities in the present day. Quantitative and qualitative research was determining the level of awareness and opinions of citizens concerning nursing care provided by religious sisters in the territory of Prague. The objective of the thesis was to establish in which way a patient perceived nursing care provided by religious sisters and whether he felt differences in the nursing care provided by religious sisters and ``secular{\crq}q nurses. Other objectives were to ascertain the level of awareness of the Prague secular public about religious sisters involved in nursing and what sort of information the registered ``secular{\crq}q nurses had about religious sisters. The intention of my work was to bring our almost entirely atheistic society some information about religious nursing activities in the territory of Prague and the possibilities of spiritual services in healthcare facilities. It has been established that patients in hospitals are interested in spiritual services and therefore it is possible to derive a recommendation for practice: within providing holistic care to intensify nurses{\crq} interventions in the area of the spiritual needs of the sick.
Specialities of nursing with representatives of Church - dignitary
ŠEVČÍKOVÁ, Kateřina
The main theme of our thesis was the Specificity of church representants´ treatment {--} church dignitaries. We set 3 targets: 1. to allocate the specificities when treating church dignitaries of various religious directions, 2. to describe daily schedule of various religious directions, 3. to find out, how much are the church representants of various religious directions satisfied with provided health care. We devided the thesis into two parts, theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part, nurses, but even general public, can get the basic information about five religions, whose representants we can meet in our hospitals: Roman catholic, protestant, orthodoxy, judaism, islam. Within our thesis we also deal with the treatment of nuns´ treatment. Chaptres are clearly ranged, in the inroduction we always mention short world history of the particular religion, then history in Bohemia, followed by brief history and important dogmas of the particular belief. At the end of each chapter we mention daily schedule of a church dignitary and specificity of his treatment. In the practical part, we discuss the results of our research. To obtain necessary information, we used two methods. By questionnaire method, we found out the nurses´ level of knowledge about mentioned religions and their opinion concerning the necessity of a specific attitude when treating church dignitaries. The level of their knowledge was satisfactory. Hypothesis, in which we supposed that the health personnel, taking care of church representants of various religious directions, do not make any difference between them and other patients, was not after statistic elaboration confirmed. To obtain information from church dignitaries we used a method of a standard interview. After evaluation of obtained information there were following hypothesis: church representants of various religious directions are satisfied with offered health care. Upon the results of this research we recommended to insert this theme, specificity of church representants´ treatment, to curriculum of health schools (for health assistants, nurses Bachelor and nurses Master). Then also impose this theme to programs of specific conferences, retraining courses or educational seminary, in order to inform even graduated nurses about this new disscused theme. It would be also convenient, if educational institutions used more often various offers from jewish or islamic fondations, which willingly offer conferences and closer approach to the particular religion. Nurses should be motivated to get new information about various religions in order to be generally more cultivated, which is indispensable for a nurse.
