Questions of present paliative care
Štrajtová, Mariana ; Žáčková, Hana (advisor) ; Ondrušová, Jiřina (referee)
In my thesis I analysed the definition of the term palliative care itself. I've analysed historical evolution of this field. I asked myself who palliative care is intended for. Next, I've dealt with practical questions which the relatives asks when taking caring of dying person. In the final part I've described the issues which comes with the development of palliative care in Czech Republic - interpretation of laws and a questions about availability of this care. A separate question, legal and ethnical, was so-called euthanasia. Second level of my thesis are interviews with workers in palliative care field. I was interested in their motivations, what did bring them to this unusual field. I was interested in how they deal with this stressful job. I was asking them about practical part of their work and their opinions on the current situation of palliative care.

Hospices and Care Based on Individual Needs of the Patient
SEKYRKOVÁ, Michaela
This diploma work deals with hospice and a quality of care given to the clients of the hospice, that fully covers complex needs, changing during a life limiting illness, taking in account the dignity of the human being to the very last moment of his life. This care is a promise for a man, that he won´t be alone in the burdensome moments of his life. There are a hospice management and various forms of hospice care in Czech Republic described in a theoretical part of the work. This chapter is to be a handbook for providing companionship to the dying person and is to draw our attention not only to the changing priorities of the dying person and to stages, that he is to go through, but to an irreplaceable role of a caregiver at his bed. In a practical part of this work there are investigated the attitudes of the caregivers in hospice and public to the process of dying of the human being. The founded results of the research show, that people finding themselves in a final stage of the life-limiting illness change their priorities; the spiritual needs become more important, especially to attain a peace with self, with other people; clients trusting in God long for consilience with God; the results of the research show however, that most public is not familiar enough with the problem of dying and death, and that there is generally low knowledge on how to provide companionship to the dying person.
