Beyond the heteronormative understanding of gender and sexuality
Jahodová, Dita ; Kolářová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Sokolová, Věra (referee)
This thesis presents the basic principles of the functioning of the heteronormative order: in what way heterosexuality is constructed as the norm and in what way it is maintained as such. The thesis simultaneously examines the possibilities of disrupting the heteronormative order, creating queer spaces, and defining the term queer and queer politics in the framework of a queer subculture. The aim of the research carried out within the thesis is to contribute to the visibility of queer subculture, present ways in which the term queer is used in queer subculture and show to what degree the examined queer subcultural spaces are created as open spaces and to whom they are accessible. In the Czech Republic the term queer is used as a synonym for LGBT identities or as an umbrella term for LGBTI people and activities. Nevertheless, as follows from the analysis of semi-structured interviews, the term queer can have even other meanings. It can express criticism of heteronormativity, homonormativity, mainstream LGBT politics and culture, and the attempt to overcome the norms connected with gender and sexuality. In this regard, the term queer can refer not only to an identity and also to a political position. The interweaving of queer and feminist theory can be inspiring not only for the development of gender...

ODLOŽILÍKOVÁ, Markéta
This presented Bachelor thesis deals with the sexuality of women during pregnancy and after childbirth. Given the focus of this thesis period of pregnancy, parturition, puerperium and the associated sexuality is described in the theoretic part. Furthermore, the thesis deals with the role of midwives in the area of women sexuality during pregnancy and after childbirth. In total, there were defined three objectives. The first one was to find out, if women are apprised about sexual life in pregnancy period. The second one, if women are apprised about issues of sexuality after childbirth. And the third one, how women are apprised about the sexual life during pregnancy and after childbirth at all. The research was conducted with women in their homes during the month of February 2016. For realization of this research was used qualitative survey. Data collection was conducted through interviews with the women that were to one year after birthchild. The research sample consisted of eight women. The interviews were carried out after previous agreement and permission of these women. The interview contained 10 open-ended questions, in cases of need some additional questions were asked. Then the interviews were transcribed verbatim. The analysis was conducted by the hand coding method paper and pen. Each reponses were identified by specific codes that were subsequently classified under various categories. From the research resulted the fact that all interviewed women were apprised sufficiently about sexuality in pregnancy period. But responses about the way of getting information are diverse. Thanks to this research was found that women most often seek for information about sexuality in pregnancy period on the internet. Most women have a problem asking questions relating to this intimate area. That's why the most of them prefer to seek information from anonymous discussions. That primarily pointed out the need for increased awareness of women by midwives. However, not all women are searching for information. From the research resulted the fact that most of the women trust in their own body and anticipation especially and therefore they are not interested in receiving any other information. The investigation was to find out if women have need for sex. Most of the answers were affirmative. What is more, majority of the women mentioned that their need for sex got higher then before the pregnancy. The investigation pointed out that women are informed about issues of sexuality after the delivery mainly from midwives at childbed stations. According to all enquired ones all obtained information were sufficient. But what is more some of the women mentioned again that they do not seek for any information in this field because they follow their own bodies more than other people´s advice. Further questions were related to women sexual satisfaction after giving birth and whether they suffer from any physical or mental consequences caused by that. The results brought out that most of the interviewed ones started their sexual activities already during the time of childbed due to desire for lovemaking. On the other side their sexual desire markedly decreased in comperison with the pregnancy time. The results proved that they are well aware of sexual issues during pregnancy period but not due to midwives. It would be advisable to include this topic in general information that women receive particulary from midwives because this research proved that women in general would like to know more but they are ashamed to ask. As all information about sex after childbirth are received from midwives at childbed stations, women do not feel like seeking for more information on internet as they mention that the obtained information from midwives were sufficient.

ŠTACHOVÁ, Tereza
This thesis deals with the reproductive health of adolescent girls. Reproductive health is a relatively young concept, its issue is topical and should be the prime concern of the whole society. The theoretical basis of this thesis was to show the essential concept of reproductive health among adolescent girls with a specific focus on the latest problems. Therefore, the introductory part is divided into several subheads. First of them is addressed to reproductive health. It includes an introduction to the reproductive health problems, a brief description of women´s reproductive organs, basic information about the menstrual cycle and personal hygiene. The second subhead is addressed to factors that damage the reproductive health. Attention was focused on gynecological infections, sexually transmitted diseases, cervical cancer and breast cancer. In the third subhead were analysed maturing problems focused on physical and mental changes, the development of sexuality, adolescent risk behavior syndrom and information about contraception. The last subhead pays attention to education by a midwife. It contains the theoretical basis of training and efficiently focuses on reproductive health education. Three study objectives were determined. The first one was to explore the level of knowledge of reproductive health among female students of secondary grammar schools and secondary vocational schools. For this objective was chosen Hypothesis 1: Female students of secondary grammar schools have better knowledge about reproductive health than female students of secondary vocational schools. The second objective was to learn what are the main sources of information for above mentioned students. For this objective were chosen two following hypothesis. Hypothesis 2: The main source of information about reproductive health among female students of secondary grammar schools is professional literature. Hypothesis 3: The main source of information about reproductive health among female students of secondary vocational schools is the internet. The third objective of this thesis wasto compare how female students of various secondary schools are informed about sexually tramsmitted diseases. For this objective was set Hypothesis 4: Female students of secondary grammar schools have more information about sexually transmitted diseases than female students of secondary vocational schools. Data collection was carried out by quantitative research method and its technique was used for questionary creating by the author of this work. The research was proceeded at two secondary grammar schools and two secondary vocational schools in South Bohemia Region. The questionaries were distributed in March 2015. The total number of female respondents involved 160, 79 of secondary vocational schools and 81 of secondary grammar schools. The collected data were processed in Microsoft Excel 2010 program. Chi-square test with 5% level of significance was used for verification of hypothesis validity. The research results showed that female respondents of secondary grammar schools have better knowledge about reproductive health than the ones of secondary vocational schools. Family acted as the main source of information about reproductive health in both groups. There are no differences at respondents´ knowledge in the area of sexually transmitted diseases. Based on the research analysis, Hypothesis 1 was confirmed, the other specified analysis were refuted. With respect to the research results, it would be appropriate that midwives give more attention on education of girls in the reproductive health area. They should primarily emphasize education of adolescents in area of sexually transmitted diseases. Together with it, they should focuse on education in breast self-examination. This bachelor thesis can serve as teaching material for future students of Midwifery. It can also be used as a basis for preparing lectures for adolescent girls.

With mental disabilities in institutional Sexual problems of clients facilities
PATEROVÁ, Michaela
Sexuality of persons with mental disability has represented a social taboo until recent times. Issues related to this topic attracted my attention so much, that I decided to obtain further information through my bachelor thesis. Bachelor thesis contains theoretical part and practical part. The theoretical part contains three chapters. In the first chapter, I explore mental disabilities. In this chapter, I also focused on etiology and causes of mental disability. In the next chapter, I focused on dealing with the term the individual with mental retardation. The term disability is described there, and it is understood as a term covering the area of functional disorders, activities and participations of specific individual. In the next section I introduce sexual issues of persons with mental disability. First topic is the education and awareness for persons with mental disabilities. In addition, I dealt with sexual abuse of persons with mental disability. Sexuality is closely linked with partner relationships, which I also mention in my thesis. In conclusion of the theoretical part I dealt with parenthood and possibilities of protection against conception. The practical part of the bachelor thesis consists of the data collection while using qualitative research techniques with the method of unstandardized in-depth interviews. The basic complex was created by parameters of the enshrined theory, when not all parameters were used according to its comprehensiveness. I set the basic research complex according to positions of the staff of the Social Service Center in Jindřichův Hradec. Two research questions were raised. Whether the staff perceives sexual life of persons with mental disability as suitable and whether the information of the professional staff about sexual life of persons with mental disability are sufficient. On the basis of the research it was found that the professional staff has sufficient amount of information, but the sexual education and training in the institution does not take place at all. Interviews showed that employees do not feel being sufficiently competent in matters of sexual education and awareness. The interviews further revealed that the employees agree with partnerships of persons with mental disability. From the interviews it was also found that they agree with the use of contraception in case that the client starts living sexual life with her partner. In addition, I found out that the majority of respondents rather do not agree with the parenthood of persons with mental disability. Regarding the issue of sexual abuse of persons with mental disability, I found out during the interview that this problem was once solved in the institution. Employees aware that these people are an easy victim, but at the same time they do not undertake any prevention in the form of sexual education. These findings show that it would be appropriate to encourage establishing the protocol, in which there would be enshrined sexual issues of users of social services provided by this institution. The protocol could also serve to the purpose of prevention of sexual abuse. Professional training focused on communication between the staff and the user in the field of sexual education would be also appropriate.
