Abstract: The subject of the presented work was the attempt to find a tool for verification of the candidates for voluntary workers in a hospice and decreasing the danger of a negative influence of an incompetent volunteer on a person in a terminal stage of disease and his or her relatives. Abilities of volunteers were checked by the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). The way of performing tasks was assessed both objectively (using the check list) and subjectively (as a general impression the examiner had). The subjective assessment and standardized assessment were correlated significantly positively with each other. The usefulness of the exam has been confirmed in practice. Carrying out this type of an exam allowed, therefore, to avoid unnecessary trauma by both potential candidates for volunteers and by the persons whom they would take care while working in the hospice.
