The Servants of Dębica have been fulfilling the charisma which has been understood anew in the signs of the times after obtaining a full autonomy in 1891 in Tarnow Diocese. Since then, the Congregation has been working as an independent branch of The Servants Convent of the Mother of God (founded by Edmund Bojanowski in Wielkopolskie Province in 1850). In the community of the Church of Rzeszow have been present since the creation of the diocese in 1992, although in this area have been operating since almost a century (1893). In the diocese of Rzeszow, the servants of Dębica fulfill their ministry directly from the charism, primarily in the fields of education, education and catechesis of the youngest, and the service of the weakest: sick and in need of care. The maids are working in 5 localities (Nowy Kamień, Ropczyce, Ropczyce - Witkowice, Sędziszów, Szebnie). They are guided by 3 orphanages (Nowy Kamień, Ropczyce, Szebnie).
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.
