The job of a nurse in hospice care.
HERZOGOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor thesis deals with hospice care and focuses on the work of a nurse in the field of hospice care. Hospice care is a comprehensive form of health, psychological and social care that is provided to all patients who suffer from an incurable disease or are in the terminal stage of the disease. Hospice care is closely related to palliative care, which focuses primarily on improving patients' lives and relieving pain. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to map the work of a nurse in the field of hospice care. The empirical part of the bachelor thesis was processed using a qualitative research survey. A semi-structured interview was chosen for the data collection technique. Interviews were conducted with nurses working in hospice facilities throughout the Czech Republic. The interviews revealed that working in a hospice facility is mentally and physically demanding for the nurses, because the hospices lack enough staff to provide quality care and staff. It turned out that doctors often delegate their work to nurses. The most frequently delegated work is the handling of the patient's estate, which is not within the competence of the nurse. Most nurses working in hospice facilities devote all their efforts to work and forget about their personal lives. Most nurses would not recommend working in a hospice facility to other nurses due to financial dissatisfaction and the complexity of this work. The achieved results of the qualitative research survey can serve as a study basis for students of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of the University of South Bohemia and can also help nurses who decide to choose a profession in a hospice facility.
