Šurková, Diana ; Krahulcová, Beáta (advisor) ; Stretti, Sylvie (referee)
The death of a loved one is currently a very common topic, and it is important for a social worker to keep it in mind. This thesis is called "The Phenomena of Death in a Social Worker's Job". The theoretical part was made by using analysed relevant literature, chosen by snowballing sampling. This thesis is divided into three chapters. The first two chapters focus on the theory and definition of death, anticipation and sudden death, suicide, mourning and options to help the survivors. The third chapter contains the practical part, with research data, including charts and graphical interpretation. The goal of this empiric research is to use semi-structured online surveys to answer the main research question: "How do students of the second year of postgraduate study of major SACH at HTF UK feel about their readiness to handle death of their clients and confrontation with survivors during their work?" I was trying to find out whether students at our faculty are considering this topic and how they feel about it. The research shows that students do not feel prepared to encounter these topics during their work. The most important part of the thesis I consider a subchapter, which contains interviews with social workers who have already encountered deaths and survivors during their work. I am using these...

Franclová, Justýna ; Bravená, Noemi (advisor) ; Krahulcová, Beáta (referee)
In this dissertation, I will attempt to describe a child's reaction to a death of a close person (parent). To do that, I separated my paper into two parts. The first part sets out the theoretical framework for death, its role in our lives, and the underlying processes. The second part, a qualitative research, applies the theoretical framework on a specific case and draws from an in-depth interview.

The topic of the bachelor thesis is the notion of death in the context of a kindergarten. The paper maps ways in which this topic can be approached in a kindergarten, children's reactions to the theme of death, and the experience and attitudes of teachers to the raising and sharing of the theme of death in kindergarten environment. The theoretical part discusses the tabooing of death in contemporary society and the increasing need to speak about death; furthermore, it focuses on the specifics of child's perception of death, child's mourning and possible impacts on the child, and last but not least, on the role of a teacher and school in relation to these issues.

The Art forms inspirating for ethical dealing with lost of child.
HENKENOVÁ, Stanislava
Beginning of my bachelor thesis describes if arts, artworks and experience given from art have some utility for a better dealing with loss of child. It was important to point out how big the differences and gaps are between our modern society and history which perceived death differently, we can say like part of the life but the course of time and expansion of consumer way of life caused that the perception of death rapidly changed and nowadays we take the death like a terrifying part of our lives. In these days people more and more divert the focus from the death issue because this time just rejects this thought. Today's society is completely alienated to the death issue and when people come in contact with it, their reactions are usually negative and the inconceivability of this situation in which they found themselves is present. That's why I was also interested in the view of adult and child. And the difference was clearly considerable. This refers to clause by intellectual disposition of child and adult one already disposing with life experience. I was also curious about how black culture, totally different from our own, is aware of the death and all trauma around it. During my internship in South Africa I was curious about their traditions, customs and rituals which they made during the grief and also which feelings are included in this trauma and how the society perceive that family. Because of this reason I further took an interest in what kind of impact the religion, culture and education has towards the attitude to the death. Of course we can find the familiar features for both cultures but moreover there are differences. The three mentionned elements have a big impact to the perception of the death. I was also focused on which possibilities has our society for parents who are traumated by this hard life situation. With regard to my field of study I was further curious about which role can play social worker in this area and also whether he or she can be useful to bereaved family.

The Palliative Care of Dying People with Intellectual Disabilities in Sheltered Housing
Hušnerová, Lucie ; Cimrmannová, Tereza (advisor) ; Stretti, Sylvie (referee)
My diploma thesis is called The Palliative Care of Dying People with Intellectual Disabilities in Sheltered Housing. The purpose of the text is to create an overview study of palliative care about dying people with mental disabilities. The reason why I have decided to focus on such a relevant issue is a wide shortage of information in Czech Republic compared to other countries. People with mental disabilities nowadays tend to live longer and the question of palliative care for them is crucial. My thesis is divided into six main sections. In the first section I talk about the ethics dilemma of palliative care. By ethics dilemma I mean problems that are needed to be dealt with in palliative care. One of them is the decision if it is adequate to die in an institution or in a home environment. In this section for instance it is described if it is necessarily to tell the truth the patients about their health conditions. The text is also referring to the medical advances comparing to quality of life of dying people. I also describe what the quality of life means to people and how to reach the highest level of quality of life in palliative care. In the second part of my thesis I describe the social, health and other services which are suitable for dying people and their relatives. Most of the named...
