Just take a moment to stop. The process of religious conversion in the context of the covid-19 pandemic: an interpretative phenomenological analysis.
Jiřičková, Eva ; Beláňová, Andrea (advisor) ; Viktorová, Ida (referee)
The focus of the thesis is to examine the process of religious conversion to the Roman Cath- olic Church in the context of the covid-19 pandemic. Its main aim is to describe the experi- ence of individuals with religious conversion and the way in which this experience is re- flected in the context of the covid-19 pandemic. Another partial aim is to map the functions of religion from the perspective of the convert and to put these functions in the context of theories of religious coping (how it manifests itself, whether and to what extent is the concept of religious coping strategies appropriate, as regards religious conversion in the context of the covid-19 pandemic). The thesis adopts a qualitative form of psychologic research in which the methods of interpretative phenomenological analysis are applied. The data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews from five converts to the Roman Catholic Church. The result of the analysis is represented by four central topics in which the quality of the experience of religious conversion is described: space of transformation, parallel for life, liberation, and relationship. The heart of experience thus outlined is then related to the functions of religion and theoretical psychological concepts.

How a familys lifestyle changes after one of its members acquires a neurological disability.
BÖHMOVÁ, Michaela
The diploma thesis focuses on lived experience of parents that have a child with a serious illness and acquired disability. Using the phenomenological interpretive analysis, I pointed out the impact of the child's illness not only on the lifestyle of the family, but also on its own change along with a view on quality of life. I will also describe the journey of several mothers from the diagnosis through the necessary and life-threatening adequate treatment to the return to normal life. Despite the very demanding care of a sick child, all respondents had to go through a period of reconciliation and settlement with the child's diagnosis over time.
