The influence of faith on the ethical approach to the client in the home for the elderly
BOUZEK MATTASOVÁ, Jindřiška
Pensioner care went through large changes and development during last decade. Thanks to ageing of the population more pensioners live long enough to get into health status when they are not able to live in their homes and only few families can provide proper care to their elderly relatives. I decided to evaluate what is the influence of the personel directly caring about the people needing help, the influence of managers of the facilities, and the influence of the founders with relation to their faith. I studied amount of treatises written on the subject, I was in contact with several facilities, and I performed a qualitative research in some selected facilities. I also consulted the topics with specialists. Some facts are very promising as now is more professionals involved in direct care, and facilities often offer richer personal programme than before. At the time being there are wider possibilities of spiritual care. The research shows that the basic ethical values are endangered because of the controversy with funding of the care. Funding deficiency is the reason of the low numbers of personnel in facilities. This is by my observation the core problem. In this situation is exceptionally important the stance of the founder and a management of the facility, even if they are not in a direct contact with the elderly person.
