The Sense of Professional Failure and Helplessness of Nurses Working in Palliative Care.
BENEŠ, Jiří
The thesis deals with the effects of professional failure and helplessness experienced by nurses working in palliative care. The objectives of this thesis were to find out whether nurses often suffer from the negative feelings, to examine the influence of the job on their personal lives, to identify the most common problems related to their jobs and to find out if they regret choosing this type of job. To achieve these objectives, the following questions were asked: What is the influence of palliative care environment on nurses' lives and personalities? What factors influence nurses' professional performance? Why did they choose this type of job? What are the most stressful situations they experience? Does the workload make them feel helpless? What helps the nurses cope with stressful situations? We used qualitative research methods and conducted half structured interviews with fifteen research participants; eight of them work in non-hospice palliative care and seven participants work in hospices. The research results showed that palliative care has an influence on nurses' personal lives to a large extent; however, not only in negative ways. The research participants find their jobs mentally demanding and hard to separate from personal lives but they do not regret choosing the job. The participants responded that they often feel helpless but not hopeless. The feeling of failure is rather rare and occurs only under specific conditions. The most common and serious problems the participants encounter were characterized as conflicts at work, work stress, patient´s worsening state of health or patient's death, communication with family of a patient who passed away, big responsibility, misunderstandings with patients or their families, taking care of confused or aggressive patients and of patients with persisting pain, death of a young patient, patient's inability to find reconciliation with their condition or patient's unawareness of their state of health. This thesis also outlines a close relationship between high demands of palliative care and burnout syndrome and could be used for further research on this topic. Simultaneously, the data received from the research participants provides an analysis of palliative care nurses' feelings and work satisfaction and will be communicated to the management of given facilities. The findings of this work could be also presented at a conference in the future.

Regulatory developments allowance for care
Pechan, Lubomír ; Zemanová, Jana (advisor) ; Koldinská, Kristina (referee)
The topic of this rigorous thesis is the development of regulatory social security of "helpless persons" - individuals suffering from long-term health problems that are severe and functionally debilitating enough to necessitate the care and assistance of another. I attempt to track the development of social security of the helpless from its beginnings shortly after the emergence of Czechoslovakia as an independent state in 1918 to the present day - a period of nearly one hundred years. My aim is to create an in-depth, exhaustive description of the development of the legal basis for the "helplessness allowance" (currently defined as carer's allowance), as well as to evaluate the consequences of the various changes to the law and their impact on the current state of the relevant legal framework. I believe that my readers will be interested in the opportunity to track how the legal basis of helplessness- or care dependence- related social security transfers has evolved from a brief, rather sparse chapter of the Social Security Code, one which was seen for many decades as little more than a necessary addendum to the code, into a self-contained, highly sophisticated area of social security law. This work should make clear the impulses and reasons for the emergence of important new and modified...

If an ethical reflection is to be competent, it is to cover psychological knowledge such as human needs, incentives and motives for acting. To conclude, ethical solutions a social worker should take into account in relation to a client are defined. These are human dignity, respect, autonomy, responsibility, dependency and vulnerability.
