SMETANOVÁ, Denisa
The main goal of this thesis was to discover the specifics of nursing care caring for apallic syndrome patients as well as terminal patients. In connection with this objective, eight research questions were addressed, focusing on the selected specifics. The empirical portion of the bachelor thesis was achieved through a qualitative research done in the the form of semi-structured interview which was then divided into two parts. The first part targeted patients with apallic syndrome while the second part adressed terminal patients. An open coding method was used to process obtained results. The research group consisted of nurses from the intensit care unit, nurses from the hospice and ICU aftercare department, as well as the ARO department. The results of the research - analyzed and subsequently categorized - revealed interesting findings, and we came to a conclusion that it is extremely demanding, both physically and psychologically, to care for the two groups. It seems the analysis of the results is consistent with other studies, as we discovered that nurses identify the specifics of nursing care in patients with apalic syndrom, especially in the field of hygienic care, nutrition and communication. Terminal patients are also provided with peace, quiet and to die with dignity. The bachelor thesis was written to provide an overview of the specifics of patient care with apalic syndrome and terminal patients. The result of the research is an informational material that serves not only to educate nurses and family, but also the public.
