Religious Sisters in Nursing Practice
VACHALCOVÁ, Andrea
In my Bachelor{\crq}s Thesis I focused on some religious orders and congregations whose members work in healthcare facilities in the present day. Quantitative and qualitative research was determining the level of awareness and opinions of citizens concerning nursing care provided by religious sisters in the territory of Prague. The objective of the thesis was to establish in which way a patient perceived nursing care provided by religious sisters and whether he felt differences in the nursing care provided by religious sisters and ``secular{\crq}q nurses. Other objectives were to ascertain the level of awareness of the Prague secular public about religious sisters involved in nursing and what sort of information the registered ``secular{\crq}q nurses had about religious sisters. The intention of my work was to bring our almost entirely atheistic society some information about religious nursing activities in the territory of Prague and the possibilities of spiritual services in healthcare facilities. It has been established that patients in hospitals are interested in spiritual services and therefore it is possible to derive a recommendation for practice: within providing holistic care to intensify nurses{\crq} interventions in the area of the spiritual needs of the sick.
