Home care in its full extent respects client`s integrity with his/her own social environment. The task of home care is to secure nursing care corresponding to client`s actual needs respecting his/her health condition. Home environment and presence of close people have an immediate impact on human psyche playing a significant role in the healing process. Absence of nosocomial infections is an advantage of providing a client with nursing care in his/her home environment; however, social environment being sometimes unsatisfactory, unwillingness to alter the home environment according to the actual needs and not following the healing regime can be a disadvantage. The aim of the thesis was to find out the way client`s home environment influences the quality of the nursing care provided by Agentura domácí péče (Home Care Agency). The research was carried out using the method of a qualitative research, by half-standardized interviewing nurses and clients of Agentura domácí péče. Five nurses working for Agentura domácí péče were the first research sample. Four clients being provided with the home care regularly several days per week for a period of several years were the other research sample. Clients` case reports were compůeted with observation of their own environment while interviewing.The research suggests that the quality of the provided nursing care is influenced by several factors {--} mainly by collaboration of the client and his/her family, by the condition of the home environment and by collaboration with the attending physician. Concerning the nurses, their theoretical knowledge and practical skills are of high importance. Two hypotheses were established based on the results. H1: In order to secure continuous home nursing care, collaboration with family is essential. H2: The quality of the nursing care provided by nurses of home care agency is influenced by the condition of the home environment.In conjunction with the research, specifications of home care were clarified and possible problems a nurse providing nursing care in the home environment can face were mapped. |
