The disparity of nursing care of the dying in the nursing home for the elderly and the home environment.
VRUBLOVÁ, Zdeňka
More than one hundred thousand people die every year in the Czech Republic. Almost three quarters of them die in hospitals. However, a large percentage of people would like to die at home. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to map the differences of nursing care provided to the dying at home and in a retirement home. In connection with this goal, we have identified four research questions. The first one focused on the particularities nurses in nursing homes see nursing care for the dying. This was followed by a second question that dealt with the particularities of nursing care at home. The third and fourth questions concerned nursing problems dying at the home and retirement home. The empirical part of the work was elaborated using the methods of qualitative research; the data collection was carried out using the technique of a semi-structured interview. The basis for the interview was a total of 41 questions, which in some cases were supplemented by supplementary questions. The obtained results were then processed using the pencil-paper method. The research group consisted of five general nurses working in a retirement home and six nurses working in home care. On the basis of the findings, it can be said that the results of this work show some differences in the provision of care to the dying between the home for the elderly and the home environment. However, these differences do not relate to activities resulting from the nursing process, but to the basic, especially the emotional-intimate function of the family, different conditions for dying and cooperation with the family. On the other hand, it should be noted that nursing problems and dying needs are expressed in both facilities in the same way. The results of the work can serve as a basis for a presentation at a professional nursing training seminar.
