- Abstract
Introduction: The aim was to investigate the degree of acceptance of the disease and the selected conditions of acceptance among patients under home hospice care. Material and methods: The study was conducted in a group of patients covered by home hospice care by the Private Health Care Center (NZOZ) in Radom in the period from December 2019 to January 2020. The study involved 106 people. The research used the diagnostic survey method, and the research tool was an original questionnaire combined with the Disease Acceptance Scale. Results: The respondents obtained an average level of disease acceptance of 25.42 points. Age, education, marital status, the number of people living together with the patient in a shared household, the time of taking home hospice care, and the declared attitude to faith significantly differentiate the level of acceptance of the disease in the studied group (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The respondents show an average level of disease acceptance. A significantly higher level of disease acceptance was observed in older respondents with secondary and higher education, married, living with a more significant number of people in one household, covered by 6 to 7 months of home hospice care, and describing themselves as believers and deeply believing. Gender and place of residence did not significantly differentiate the study group in the level of disease acceptance.
