Zasada pomocniczości w promocji społecznych hospicjów w Polsce na podstawie badań własnych
Kalinowski, Mirosław (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2019)
Over the last few decades, the work of palliative and hospice centers in Poland and in the majority of highly developed countries has been evolving in the direction of specialized institutions providing assistance to persons in the terminal stage of cancer. They are part of the country’s healthcare system and meet all the criteria of health care institutions. The principle of subsidiarity is the basis for promoting social hospices, and to a large extent, they use the natural capital of civic initiatives and pro-social attitudes. It also influences removing barriers between healthy and sick people, especially those who are dying. The article presents the results of own research among people who are closest to the hospice’s charges. Respondents point to existing ways of their influencing the social environment that can contribute to mature attitudes towards suffering and death, such as cooperation among various institutions, scientific and publishing activities, education through mass media, educating school youth, as well as the promotion of palliative care.
