The philosophy of community care is deeply rooted in an opinion that states that one of the main missions in a cultivated society is helping the people who, due to their disease, are not able to to meet their own demands and their needs vitally necessary for life. Community care means providing an intervention and support at the right level and in the right form for clients, so that they can reach the highest possible level of self-sufficiency and control over their own lives. Recently, there have been many changes in the health care system. The goal of community care is to provide thourough care in clients' home environments and thus enable them to stay with their community as long as possible. The major task is providing phychical, psychological, paliatic and spiritual services. Families are the vital part of the care and a fundamental root of the whole team cooperation within the system of community care. The community teams consist of health care and social workers, community volunteers, the sick or the disabled. Nurses are important members of multidisciplinary teams. They take an active part in community assessment and they also help ensure a complex care for citizens. The research survey combined a quantitave and a qualitative survey. Firstly, a set of questionnaires for nurses and non-professional public were worked out. Next, an interview was prepared for nurses. The research sample group was made of 153 non-professional respondents and 121 nurses working in different medical facilities all over the Czech Republic. Nine nurses were interviewed. In my thesis two goals were set up. The first goal was to find out where in the community care nurses could implement their competences within the legislative frames. The second goal was to find out what opinion on community nurses non-professional public have. I worke out four hypotheses on the grounds of my goals. The first hypothesis is worded as: The non-professional public is interested in having nurses working for the community care. The second hypothesis is worded as: Nurses between 36-45 of age are willing to work as community care nurses. The third hypothesis is worded as: Nurses' interest in working for the communty care depends on their finished education. The fourth hypothesis is worded as: Nurses working 21-30 years in the health care system are interested in being active as community nurses in home care agencies. On the grounds of the qualitative research survey and five research questions it is possible to set up two hypotheses. The first hypothesis is worded as: Nurses do not know who a community nurse is. The second hypothesis is worded as: Nurses are not interested in working as community nurses. Community care has had a long history. The foundations of community care have been laid in Great Britain. In the Czech Republic community care has not been a novelty. However, we can claim that so far, no community care system has been created.
