eng The need for social contact during the dying. Background: The social contact need and its saturation during five stages of dying by E. Kübler–Ross stage model is mentioned only in general in the professional literature. The goal of research has been set as follows: to discover how the patient’s needs of social contact are changing during the particular stages of dying in terms of the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs concept. Methods: The survey has been taken over the medicare staff in the hospices (121) and in the hospital facilities specialised for long-term ill patients (94). Two research questions have been posed and a questionnaire of 30 relevant questions have been completed. Results: The total of 215 a questionnaire have been collected. The data have been consired from both facilities as the whole and by parts as well. The answers from both facility types seem to be fully comparable. More significant differences between two data samples have been commented. The differences are caused by the different medicare approach in considered medicare facility types. On the basis of the computed results and chi-squared tests it have been stated that there is the statistically significant dependence between the stages of dying by E. Kübler–Ross, patient’s needs of social contact and its fulfillment; and a hierarchy of the individual patient’s needs by A. H. Maslow. Conclusions: Taking in account above mentioned results of quantitative and qualitative aspects concerning the social contact needs of the dying patient the conclusion has been made, that the social contact needs in various stages of dying by E. Kübler–Ross differ and that there is a dependence between the patient’s needs in terms of the Maslow’s hiearchy of needs and the stage of illness. We have discovered that the needs of social contact are highly accentuated in the terminal stage of illness. dying, needs, social contact
