Palliative care nursing vs. Student of Faculty of Health and Social Studies
LUDAČKOVÁ, Helena
This bachelor thesis deals with the issues of palliative care in relation to students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies, namely to students of the programme General Nurse and Nursing. The thesis intentionally does not detail specialized palliative care, the problems of hospices and further specialized facilities. Here the palliative care works well and a lot has been written about that. Nevertheless most of the students take their practical placements at hospital wards or are employed in hospitals. This is why the thesis mostly deals with general palliative care, which should be a part of every healthcare facility. Actually in the Czech Republic, like in other European countries, an acute hospital is the most frequent place of death (60%). In long-term care hospitals the percentage is 9%. The theoretical part deals with the world and Czech history of palliative care and its development up to these days. It briefly describes both the levels of palliative care, general and specialized, as they are recommended nowadays. The thesis also mentions competences of nurses in palliative care and some specific problems and needs of incurably ill patients. These needs are divided into physical, psychical, social and spiritual although they are sometimes strongly linked. The thesis had two goals. The first goal was to map the awareness of palliative care among students; the other goal was to find out what experience the students have with palliative care and what kind of feelings this topic evokes in them. Quantitative research was used in the research part, an anonymous questionnaire was chosen as the data collection technique. The respondents answered 30 questions. 12 questions were closed, 9 questions were open and 9 semi-closed. Students of the first to third years of the bachelor programme General Nurse, Nursing branch from full-time and combined courses, and students of master programme of Nursing, specialization Nursing in Selected Clinical Fields, also from both course types of both years were addressed.
