Attitudes of young people towards infidelity in partnerships
MIKŠOVÁ, Libuše
My diploma thesis entitled: Attitudes of young people to infidelity in partnerships. Infidelity in marriage/partnership is one of the problems in the current family and partnership coexistence. Infidelity induces other socially unwanted phenomena such as a high divorce rate, hostility inside the home, etc. Nowadays, infidelity is no more condemned by society and as a result has become a common feature in our everyday lives. The research part of my diploma thesis is supported by quantitative research, a questioning method and an opinion poll. The research was conducted on a target population consisting of 200 respondents ? 100 unmarried men and 100 unmarried woman aged between 16 and 26. The respondents were students attending a polytechnic institute, junior high school, grammar school and a university in Jindřichův Hradec. Each institution was represented by 50 respondents. The objective of this thesis is to discover the general attitude of high school and university students, both men and women, to the phenomenon of infidelity. Two hypotheses were set in connection with the pursued objectives of this thesis: H1 hypothesis ? University students are highly tolerant in respect of infidelity, as are high school students. H2 hypothesis ? Women, contrary to men, state their willingness to forgive their partner their infidelity. The results of the conducted research have shown that no relation between the education level and the willingness to forgive disloyalty to a partner can be proven. This means that the H1 theory could not be reasserted. Futhermore, no relation between the sex and the willingness to forgive a partner?s infidelity could be proven. This means that the H2 hypothesis could not be confirmed either. Based on the results of the conducted research it can be concluded, for example, that the majority of the young people who took part in my research realize that infidelity is wrong. More than half of the respondents admitted that infidelity can simply occur; one fifth of the respondents considered infidelity morally unacceptable. Only less than a third of the respondents stated their willingness to forgive their parner their disloyalty. Most of the young people who answered the questions considered infidelity to be the greatest offence that can be committed in a relationship. Young people were predominantly of the opinion that their partner should confess their infidelity because partners should be honest with each other. Almost half of the respondents would be willing to tolerate their partner?s infidelity provided that it was a one-off case that would never repeat itself. The results of my diploma thesis are to contribute to a better understanding of the attitudes of young people to infidelity.

MIKŠOVÁ, Libuše
The title of the bachalor{\crq}s thesis is: The needs of dying people in Štrasburk Hospice. It deals with the issue of how to accommodate needs of dying people. A dying human being has needs of various kinds: biological, psychological, social and spiritual. Palliative care in hospices is characterised by the fact it provides the client, i.e. the dying man/woman, with complex treatment which is focused on satisfying all of the said needs. The goal of such care is to accomplish the best possible quality of life in clients and their families. The theoretical part dwells on palliative care and palliative medicine, history of hospices, the status quo in palliative care in hospices around the Czech Republic, and particular details of the care provided in hospices. Later, it explains in detail the terms of suffering, pain, dying, and death. It takes a perspective of human needs and subsequently the needs of dying man, it includes a detailed summary of individual needs. Futher on, it discusses the issues of tellin people the truth, how tu attend the dying people, and pastoral care/counselling. The research part of the thesis is based on the qualitative survey using the methods of questioning and technique of non-standardized, semi-controlled interview. Another additional method introduced in the research was involved observation. The research group contained 9 clients of the Štrasburk Hospice. The objective was to monitor the fulfilment of a holistic approach to hospice clients and to find out which of their needs are saturated only thanks to hospice care and, while dying, which needs are considered most important by the clients. The outcome of the survey showed that the hospice provides a complex care which includes meeting the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual needs of the clients. Fulfilment of the spiritual needs could be improved in some aspects. It was also concluded that among the needs saturated only thanks to the hospice care, sufficient privacy ended first as the most valued service provided, staff attitude was the second most valued quality, and better surroundings ended third. The most essential needs from clients` perspective are: not to be left alone, stay close to their families and friends, not to suffer from pain.
