title: Dying Care Nursing Intervention in the Institutional Care of End-of-Life Patients.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the frequency of the Nursing Intervention Classification Dying Care activities performed by nurses with end-of-life (EOL) patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  A cross-sectional, descriptive study using a structured questionnaire to determine the frequencies of Dying Care activities performed by 201 Czech nurses.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Nurses reported more frequent use of activities focused on the physical comfort of EOL patients. Significant relationships were found between frequencies in some activities and the nurses' education level, length of work experience, and the department type.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Nurses reported infrequent use of communication activities with patients and relatives, which is related to the length of practice.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is necessary to focus on communication and psychosocial needs of EOL patients in both pregradual and lifelong nursing education. CÍL: Zjistit frekvenci aktivit NIC intervence Péče o umírající mezi českými sestry u pacientů v závěru života.
  
  
  METHODS
  Průřezová deskriptivní studie využívající strukturovaného dotazníku pro určení frekvence aktivit Péče o umírající prováděné 201 sestrou. VÝSLEDKY: Sestry u pacientů v závěru života častější využívají aktivity zaměřené na fyzický komfort. Významné vztahy byly nalezeny mezi frekvencí některých aktivit a úrovní vzdělání sester, délkou praxe a typem pracoviště. ZÁVĚRY: Sestry uváděly nepříliš časté používání komunikačních aktivit s pacienty a příbuznými, což souvisí s délkou jejich praxe. KLINICKÁ RELEVANCE: Je třeba se zaměřit na komunikaci a psychosociální potřeby pacientů v závěru života jak v pregraduálním tak celoživotním vzdělávání sester.
