The need for intimacy of male patients 65+
BAMBÁSKOVÁ, Diana
This work focuses on the issue of intimacy among patients aged 65 and over in a hospital setting. The aim was to examine the specifics of intimacy needs, perceptions of intimacy maintenance, and healthcare professionals' approach to these needs. The theoretical part addressed definitions and delineations of basic concepts such as need, intimacy, human dignity, ethics, mandatory confidentiality, and patient rights. The empirical part was conducted through qualitative research, involving interviews with patients aged 65 and over and healthcare professionals. The results confirmed that men in this age group exhibit a high sensitivity to maintaining their privacy and dignity during hospitalization. They also showed a willingness to communicate with healthcare professionals about their intimacy needs. It was found that individual intimacy needs vary greatly and depend on patients' personal preferences, health status, and lifestyle. The conclusions underscore the importance of providing individualized care that respects these differences and highlight the need for further exploration of this issue.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE IN CZECH AND BRITISH HEALTH CARE
SÝKOROVÁ, Michaela
The topic of this bachelor thesis is Comprehensive Care in the Czech and British Health Systems. We put the finger on the social policy of the Czech Republic and Great Britain, in two historically and culturally different countries. The aim was to map out and clarify basic concepts, principles, possibilities of solution and obstacles to comprehension care. This area of social policy is closely related to each of us, and therefore it is the most discussed topic. For this reason, it is important to know the basic facts and comparation within other countries which can help us in shaping our own strategy. The theoretical part deals with the historical development of the social policy of the two countries, with their importance, organizations, their determinants and models (especially in health and social areas). It also touches the current situation in the area of rehabilitation (basic concepts, transformation of meaning, legal anchoring, change of paradigm) from the point of view of the Czech Republic and Great Britain. To achieve the goals of my work, I chose a qualitative research strategy. After analyzing one case, specifically post-stroke patients, I created several questions for respondents. These sets of questions concerned post-health care, which could improve, simplify, or improve the situation of a patient in a given situation. My respondents were health and social workers from the Czech Republic and Great Britain. I acquired it through a method of deliberate choice. We used a semi-structured interview for data collection. The results of the observations were divided into six parts characterizing not only the overall view of healthcare professionals and social workers on the coordination of care and unified information, but also possible barriers and obstacles. The results are compared to each other. These comparison makes possible to assess the strengths and weaknesses of comprehensive care in the both countries. The most noticeable difference is evident in the coordination of health and social care; according to the results, it can be said that it does not work in the Czech Republic, Great Britain uses this institute quite commonly without any significant difficulties. In practice, it would be possible to use the knowledge gained by the research as a basis for the decision making of managers in the health and social sphere.

Comprehensive care for seniors in hospital
HRÁDKOVÁ, Lenka
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of Comprehensive care for seniors in hospital. The conception of this thesis is theoretically-empirical. The theoretical part is focused on the characteristics of old-age and changes that accompany it, on the concept of comprehensive care, workers who participate in complex care and comprehensive care in hospital reception and hospitalization. Subsequently, it is oriented towards peculiarities concerning communication with seniors, the nurse´s role in satisfying seniors´ needs, the family as a part of care for seniors, and senior health-care in hospital facilities. The empirical part includes a research which was done via a qualitative approach, a questioning method, a semi-structured observation technique with nurses and seniors in the Aftercare Ward. The information obtained was noted in written form, and subsequently rewritten and organized, via a pen-paper method into categorizing groups. In relation to the research, three aims were chosen. The first aim was to find out how nurses conceive comprehensive senior care. The second aim was to find out how comprehensive senior care is being fulfilled by the nurses. The third aim was to find out what aspects of care offered by nurses are missed by the seniors. Six research questions which were being answered during the research were added to these aims. The research has shown that nurses have proven comprehension and knowledge of the terms ´comprehensive care´ and ´multidisciplinary team´. Comprehensive care is implemented by nurses already when receiving introducing the patient with the ward in regard to their health condition. Further on, they take the patients´ anamnesis from them, and they evaluate their health condition via evaluating tools which are being updated and further evaluated during the hospitalization. It was found out that nurses emphasize ensuring biological, psychological and social needs. Aspects of comprehensive senior care which are being missed by nurses have emerged from the nurses´ and patients´ interviews. Nurses do not sufficiently fulfill the autonomy need, and in social needs it would be suitable for nurses to lay out more time for communication with patients. The research has further proven that spiritual needs are not being fulfilled. The seniors´ answers were different from those of the nurses, and the results prove clearly that these needs are not being fulfilled by the nurses. Having been asked about what aspects in care the seniors are missing, they answered that they were happy in the ward. They agreed to the nurses´ results, saying that they would welcome a greater emphasis on keeping privacy, and complete room equipment. They equally agreed on the insufficient staff numbers.

PFLEGROVÁ, Petra
This work deals with the idea of dying patients in the terminal stage at home. In the theoretical part I describe the concepts relating to the care for the dying and dying itself, as well as the potential risk of marginalization, which is associated with dying. Furthermore, the mention of palliative care in the form of a mobile hospice, with its multidisciplinary team that should try as far as possible to avoid marginalization. There is also the issue of euthanasia, in contrast with the use of palliative care. Hospices are the last topic in the theoretical part, the history and current state of hospice fieldwork. In the practical part I try to determine through research if and how mobile hospice avoid marginalization. Another aim of the research was to map the motives of the workers in hospice care, identify their goals and the problems they must overcome.
