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

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...

Ideas of the afterlife were also very diverse.
