Comparison of holistic nursing care in Czech Republic and Thailand from the perspective of local students
WALTEROVÁ, Markéta
This bachelor's paper aims to map and compare holistic nursing care in the Czech Republic and Thailand as students of the nursing programme have experienced it during the internship in Thailand. In the theoretical part of the paper, we learn the definition of holism, holistic nursing care, a person's needs and how to satisfy them, and how nursing care's theoretical items help fulfil those needs. In the empirical part of the thesis, we did qualitative research with the help of semistructured interviews. We texted with Thai students, and we recorded Czech students during our conversation and then transcribed it. In both cases, we used open coding and worked with a pencil and a paper copy of the transcript. We divided the results of our research into five categories. In the first category, we evaluated the knowledge of holistic nursing care and showed students' subjective attitude. The second category studied the Czech approach to holistic nursing care, socio-cultural and religious standards influencing the care. And the third category examined the Thai approach to holistic nursing care. In the fourth category, we compared the most significant differences in holistic nursing care in the Czech Republic and Thailand. The last category introduced the possibilities of how providing holistic nursing care in Thailand can be an inspiration for the Czech Republic. This paper paid attention to the different application of holism to nursing care in countries with a distinct culture. As we have experienced in the internship in Thailand, the Czech medical system can draw inspiration from improving satisfying our patients' needs.
