Abstract     The article presents the results of a research, the first part of which investigated the attitude of medical personnel toward terminal patients and their care. The second part of the research explored the medical personnel's reactions of distress, discomfort and panic when confronted with a terminal pateint or his/her death. A questionnaire was administrated to 360 medical workers who participated in one of the Slovene Hospice Society seminars. In contacts with termial patients, 77.0% of medical personnel experienced the need to withdraw, 99.8% were deeply touched and frustrated at the moment of patient's death, and 29.1% were in panic. There is no uniform opinion and practices towards the care of the terminal patient, but 79.0% consider their education insufficient, and most of them express the need for professional and patient's relatives support.

Drugi del raziskave ugotavlja doživljanje stiske, prizadetost in panike zdravstvenega osebja, ko je soočeno s terminalnim bolnikom ali njegovo smrtjo. Antketiranih je bilo 360 zdravstvenih delavcev, udeležencev enega izmed seminarjev Slovenskega društva hospic. V stikih s terminalnimi bolniki jih 77,0Č vsaj občasno občuti potrebo po umiku, smrt bolnika različno pogosto prizadene 99,8% vprašanih, paniko pa občuti 29,1%.
