Self-reflection of cultural competences among nurses working in home care
CHVALOVÁ, Miroslava
Cultural competence is a set of cultural knowledge that enables non-medical health professionals to achieve appropriate outcomes when caring for and working with clients/patients from a different country. The main aim of our study was to find out what cultural competencies nurses have in home care. The empirical part used a quantitative research method in home care settings. Respondents answered a questionnaire consisting of 88 questions and two parts namely standardized and non-standardized part. We surveyed the nurses' awareness of the culture of patients/clients, their level of cultural competence, focusing on cultural skills, cultural knowledge and cultural sensitivity and lastly, we surveyed the nurses' self-assessment of cultural competence. 108 respondents took part in the research and the results of the survey indicate that the characteristics mentioned in the hypotheses, age and educational attainment, are not related to the level of cultural competence of non-medical health workers. It also shows that the majority of nurses do not think that knowledge of a foreign language is important in practice and half of them do not even use a foreign language. However, they do not have negative attitudes towards foreigners and recognize the importance of lifelong learning in order to provide culturally competent care. This work could serve as educational material for students, future non-medical health workers. The results of the thesis will be published in a journal that will be beneficial to non-medical health personnel as well as the general public and will also be presented at a conference.

Mental alchemy
Nováková, Bára ; Vaňous,, Petr (referee) ; Mikyta, Svätopluk (advisor)
The thesis consists of several approaches to the process of visual image creation itself. The approaches vary based on four different experiences, with lived reality. Each of the four stages has its own rules for approaching the image. Each approach includes a different treatment of formats and techniques. Overall, the thesis includes the following media: oil painting on canvas, pencil, crayon, charcoal and pastel drawing on paper, and printmaking (drypoint) on paper. The formats range from approximately 15 × 21 cm to 250 × 200 cm. The main aim of the thesis is to show the different approaches and energies that lead to different starting points for the creation of a visual image. The thesis is therefore a personal search and a detective investigation into what the ideal image should be. What form should the image take? What energy should be brought into the image? What exactly are we mirroring in the image?

A View on Reflection in Nursing and Social Work Education
Čajko Eibicht, Monika ; Lorenz, Walter (advisor) ; Brnula, Peter (referee) ; Vacková, Jitka (referee)
In times of dynamic social changes and uncertainty, reflective practice becomes crucial for social work and nursing. This dissertation examines the epistemological foundations and the multidimensional nature of reflection within professional education from various theoretical perspectives tested through original empirical findings, which aim to prevent the reduction of reflection to a mere technique and instead promote dialogue, interdisciplinary cooperation, and participatory methods. Drawing on phenomenological and critical constructivist approaches deepens the understanding of educators' individual and collective experiences and reflective practices. The structure of the thesis corresponds to three empirical phases. The first phase investigates the characteristics of reflection and its developmental potential using SRIS and PHLMS questionnaires. The second phase, encompassing reflexive thematic analysis of interviews, addresses educators' views on reflection and their methods of promoting reflectivity among students. In the third phase, the work employs Q methodology to process and analyze various perspectives on reflection among educators. This method, still underutilized in the Czech context, allows for a deeper examination of the subjective aspects of educational practice. The participation...
