(in English): The topic of the master thesis "Palliative care in hospitals" focuses on an area that is unknown not only to the general public but to health professionals as well.

The main outcome of this thesis is the ambiguous statement that hospitals lack palliative...

Integrating health a social services for patiens with incurable illness
Dostálová, Vladimíra ; Lejsal, Matěj (advisor) ; Arnoldová, Anna (referee)
The thesis deals with the integration of health and social services for patients with incurable diseases.

In another area of the theoretical part I explicate the laws and regulations of the Czech Republic relating to the given issue. I also provide a statistical overview of the development of the population, diseases and places of death and in relation to these factors I mention the principles of the palliative care.

In the empirical part using qualitative research I examine how individual research respondents perceive linking health and social services in the care of a patient with an incurable disease in homes for the elderly, and what possibilities and obstructions are there according to themselves with the provision of palliative care in the links between health and social services. Based on the analysis of qualitative research I defined the various factors that may influence the integration between health and social services. According to these findings, in the...

Medical facilities belong to places where senior people most often pass away, and where their dignity is also most endangered. The basis for working out the thesis is describing the man seen as the being whole and at the same time uniuqe, in which one sees man?s dignity.

A knowledge of conceiving a terminally ill senior man, his/her needs and values is for a provision of the palliative care necessary. A part of the thesis deals with a specificity of social work in a palliative care, and with professional a personal competencies of a social worker. A provision of a support to those terminally ill and their close ones is in a hospital environment insured only partly. Based on the information collected the thesis is dedicated to outlining a humanly dignified care as the aim of social work. A social worker can participate on the above mentioned by being in a role of an accompanying one and a consultant for those left. A possibility to support a spiritual dimension of the man to which a social worker is in his/her both roles often close is approached in the final part of the thesis.
