RACEK, Otakar
In my work, I deal with the topic of spiritual needs of hospitalized patients. The research was carried out with the help of semi-structured interviews with nine informants who have a certain relationship to spirituality. The aim of the research part of the bachelor's thesis was to find out what spiritual needs hospitalized patients have, to further compare the fulfillment of spiritual needs in religious and non-religious patients, and also to find out whether the Covid-19 pandemic affects the spiritual needs of patients and the possibilities of their fulfillment. In the theoretical part, emphasis is placed on the irreplaceability of spirituality in the holistic concept of patient care. Furthermore, technical terms are explained in order to better orient oneself in the issue. After that, the theoretical part of the work is oriented towards the spiritual care provided by chaplains or health workers - how they can provide spiritual support to sick people. In the work, space is also devoted to historical spiritual care. At the end of the theoretical part of the work describing the stages of spiritual development. In the practical part of the work, I analyze interviews with chaplains, nurses and patients in the area of spiritual needs for the assigned research questions. I notice how familiar the chaplains, nurses and patients are in the area of fulfilling spiritual needs. This work can be used in teaching as an illustrative example of the spiritual needs of patients. It can also help healthcare professionals to indicate spiritual care. The research revealed what patients' spiritual needs are, whether they differ depending on their religiosity, and also that the Covid-19 disease has caused an increased interest in fulfilling patients' spiritual needs.

JEHLÍKOVÁ, Aneta
The theoretical part of this bachelor thesis is primarily concerned with topics of spiritual needs and spiritual care. The first chapter inquires into the holistic concept and the needs of people with illnesses. What is the need and what are the main characteristics of particular basic needs is described there. The second chapter engages in the spiritual care, but there are also other terms mentioned; the pastoral care or the hospital chaplain, for instance. The past of the spiritual care is not omitted either, as it reaches into the remote history. The last chapter is concerned with departments of aftercare and longterm care and these terms are explained there. Information about nurses' work at such departments is provided, as well. The research part of the thesis addresses the research aim that is defined in this way: To learn how nurses at departments of consecutive and long-term care perceive the idea of spiritual need, if they recognize particular spiritual needs and how they react to them. To learn the overall spiritual needs standard and organization at individual departments. Methodologically, because of the research aim, qualitative research design has been chosen and the data has been collected through semi-structured interviews, individually with respondents. The research uncovered that nurses have a basic awareness of spiritual care and spiritual needs but they still miss some knowledge. For example, many nurses believe that spiritual care serves only to believing patients. Another finding reveals that nurses are able to rightly react on spiritual needs of the patient and they agree on the process of spiritual needs' fulfilment. The thesis offers a complex insight into nurses' view of spiritual care. The output of the thesis is an information material for nurses and patients.

Vačkářová, Zuzana ; Havrdová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Hajný, Martin (referee)
Professional supervision realized in terms of tripartite contract by trained supervisor is a part of care improvement in helping professions. Although pastoral supervision is manifesting many similarities to supervision in helping professions, a difference can be found in the emphasis on its spiritual and theological richness. There is no concept of such perceived supervision in the Czech Republic. This led to the need for mapping the situation of supervision provided to healthcare chaplains in the Czech Republic and for inquiries as to whether the provided supervision comply with the parameters of professional supervision. Spiritually centered holistic pastoral care, which is presented in their work, comes from biblical sources. Thus, spiritual dimension of human existence is firmly founded in the prior understanding of the healthcare chaplain (pastoral worker) and communication is realized in a specific language within specific discourse. Supervision provided to healthcare chaplains should, therefore, react to these circumstances and reflect them. The second phase of the research is concerned with the possible specifics and demands on the supervisor which lead from it. Key words: supervision, pastoral supervision, clinical pastoral care, spirituality, religiosity, spiritually centered holistic...
