The theoretical part has six chapters: End of life and dying, Palliate care, Home hospice multidisciplinary team, Specific of care about a terminally ill patient in home background, Family and caregivers, Specifics of care about dying people in the CR. The second, practical part is based on qualitative-quantitative research with three goals. The first goal was to define the needs of family members caring about a terminally ill person in domestic background. The second goal was to define the skills of nurses necessary for saturation of the needs of family members caring about a terminally ill person in domestic background, and the last goal was to specify the present drawbacks of the care upon the research results. The following research questions were set in the qualitative part of the research: 1. What factors lead to decision of a family to participate in the care about a terminally ill person in domestic background? 2. What factors prevent families from integration into the care about a terminally ill person in domestic background? 3. What skills are necessary for a nurse in the process of family integration into the care about a terminally ill client in home background? The research sample of the qualitative research consisted of six respondents having experience with care about a dying patient in domestic background. A semi structured interview consisting of six questions was the research method of this part of the thesis. The questions focused on the care about a dying family member in home background. The following hypotheses may be deduced from the research: 1. Giving information to lay caregivers before releasing a terminally ill client to domestic treatment within education contributes to their active involvement in the care. 2. Participation of a mobile hospice team in the care about a terminally ill client in home background contributes to saturation of the needs of certainty and safety of the caregivers. The following hypotheses were set at the beginning of the quantitative research: 1. Respondent?s feeling of inability to participate in the care is an obstacle to the decision to start caring about a terminally ill person in home background. 2. Fear of economic risk is an obstacle to the decision to start caring about a terminally ill person in home background. 3. Utilization of professional services in the care about a terminally ill person in home background depends on awareness of their existence and the extent of services being provided. The research sample consisted of 198 persons from the wide public. The data were collected by means of a questionnaire. The questionnaires examined the readiness of the respondents to decide to start caring about a terminally ill person in home background and their awareness of the existence of institutions providing palliative care in home background. The first two hypotheses were confirmed by the results of the questionnaire research, the third one was not confirmed. A manual for general nurses ?Care about a dying client in home background? and an ?Informational leaflet for laics? deciding on caring about someone close in home background, which form a part hereof, were elaborated upon the results of the research.
