ZÁMEČNÍKOVÁ, Jana
The objective of this work is to explore the perspectives of pedagogues on the concept of free time with empathy, particularly focusing on their views regarding empathetic behaviour towards older school-age children during extracurricular activities within their professional domain. Additionally, the research aims to investigate the impact of empathetic behaviour on older school-aged children during extracurricular activities, as perceived by pedagogues, and to identify potential challenges they may encounter in their practice. The theoretical framework, structured into three main sections, draws upon various theoretical sources pertinent to the subject matter. It delves into diverse perspectives on empathy, emphasizes the significance of free time and its utilization, particularly highlighting the engagement of children and youth in extracurricular pursuits. A special emphasis is placed on the role of the leisure-time educator in this context. Furthermore, the theoretical discussion includes an exploration of the characteristics of the target demographic of youth in the pubertal phase, elucidating the specificities associated with this developmental stage. Psychological aspects related to the topic are also addressed within the theoretical framework. The practical segment of the study outlines the foundational parameters of the research methodology, which entails a qualitative investigation conducted through exploratory semi-structured interviews with educators. The data obtained from these interviews are analysed and interpreted using open coding techniques to fulfil the research objectives. Finally, the findings of the study are synthesized, and the attainment of the research goals is assessed.

Empathy
Demková, Tereza ; Kosziba,, Klaudia (referee) ; Rathouský, Luděk (advisor)
For my practical part of a bachelors thesis I have chosen empathy as a topic. As this topic can cover some of the family issues I notice nowadays. High percentage of divorces and unwillingness to take responsibility for children are all issues that are generally well-known. However in my opinion precisely the general knowledge is something that is rarely taken as an issue of an individual. My work are three paintings done in oil on canvas, not stretched on frames. They are placed as drawings or photos. They are auto-portraits that reflect my experiences with psychotherapy and my family background. The placement of these paintings is supposed to evoke an insight into an individual in more of a physician sense. In my opinion these paintings and their placement can invoke thoughts around family, empathy and visual art.

Deep reading in literary education at high school
Kaizrová, Kristýna ; Komberec, Filip (advisor) ; Laufková, Veronika (referee)
This thesis deals with the teaching of literature in high school, focusing on deep reading. The theoretical part includes a more detailed definition of the concept of deep reading, looking for its place in the teaching of literature and links with literacy and empathy. The aim of the thesis was to prepare and teach several lessons in the high school during which students will have a space for deep reading. The starting point of the work is the book Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World by Maryanne Wolf, in which deep reading is described as a way to counteract the loss of empathy in our time, which she believes is one of the big problems of contemporary society. The thesis seeks to answer the question of how to design a high school literature class that focuses on deep reading.

Empathy possibilities with literary characters in the reception of Jan Balabán's short stories
Klečka, Petr ; Neumann, Lukáš (advisor) ; Laufková, Veronika (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with reader empathy towards literary characters in Jan Balabán's short stories, specifically focusing on the means of text construction that enable this empathy. The theoretical part of the thesis first defines the subjects of the empathic response - the literary character and the reader. Subsequently, the empathic process is also defined. In the practical part, three short stories from different short story collections by Jan Balabán are then analysed, because the sub-research of the bachelor's thesis is focused on the transformation of the means of text construction key to eliciting an empathic response in the context of Balabán's work. The analyses themselves are structured into the different levels of literary character, narrator, story, space-time and language. The analyses then show that the empathic response in the reader is elicited in a similar way in the first two stories, mainly due to the blurring of the distinctions between the narrator's zone and the character's zone, which evokes a similarity with interpersonal interaction, as well as due to the sites of non-determinism that result in the elicitation of so-called external inferences. The third short story is more descriptive, the character's feelings are captured more explicitly, there is no blurring of the...

Empathy in patients with anxiety disorders - pilot study of capturing change during a psychotherapeutic stay
Linhart, David ; Preiss, Marek (advisor) ; Křížová, Ivana (referee)
This diploma thesis was created as a part of a doctoral research project of Mgr. Ing. Sofia Diondet, and was a basis for two other diploma theses of Bc. Nikola Hanušová and Bc. Michaela Škrábová. It studied empathy in patients with anxiety disorders and its main aim was to capture change in empathy within this population after a 7week psychotherapeutic stay. Thesis had several secondary aims: to verify lower level of empathic functioning in anxiety patients and an existence of a positive relationship of self and interview rated empathy; also, to determine whether there is a relationship between empathy and anxiety symptoms. To achieve this, two groups were created: experimental (N = 50) consisting of anxiety patients and control group (N = 19) consisting of healthy volunteers of which 12 finished both examinations. Scores of em- pathic functioning measured by STiP-5.1 and LPFS-BF 2.0 were taken before and after the 7week psychotherapeutic stay along with scores of Beck's questionnaires of anxiety and de- pression. To analyse the data non- parametric Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests, ANOVA (Kruskal-Wallis) and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used. Total emphatic functioning and all its facets improved (scores decreased) after psychotherapeutic stay in the experimental group; though the only...

Mission, calling, service and their place in nursing
JEHLÍKOVÁ, Aneta
This diploma thesis is concerned with defining the terms of mission, calling, service, and searching for connections between them and nursing. In the theoretical part, we try to search for these terms and determine their meanings through historical and current literature. The empirical part of the thesis is based on qualitative research. Semi structured interviews were conducted with six medical high school students of the practical nurse program, with five university students of the general nurse program, with general nurses that were divided into two groups: those who had finished the medical school before 2004, and those who were studying the medical high school as medical assistants. The last groups for interviews were members of the Sisters of Mercy congregation of St. Borromeo. The main aim of the thesis is to find out how terms of mission, calling, and service are imagined by nurses, how these terms manifest themselves in today's nursing, and how actual they are in nursing today. Answers to these research questions arise from experience of general nurses, as well as students, and reflect their views on the research terms of mission, calling, and service. Empirical inquiry reveals that general nurses and students have a good idea of what terms of mission, calling, and service are. Among descriptions of these terms, the answers of the Sisters of Mercy of St. Borromeo are the most differentiated. General nurses divert from the profession as defined by Florence Nightingale, and they still attribute nurses the same virtues as she was imagining. Today, in nursing, the researched terms mission, calling, and service appear at least in the meaning we elaborate on here and have an archaic impression. Instead of these terms, words such as empathy or compassion are being used in today's nursing, and these words are attributed to a flawless general nurse by students and general nurses. General nurses and students agree that the researched terms perish in today's nursing, yet they still perceive that a general nurse should consider her profession as a mission, and all but three informants consider their current or future profession as a mission.
