Keeping The Family Rituals in The 21st. Century.
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Pavla
This bachelor thesis is focused on the topic which values are attached by families to family rituals in the 21st century and which rituals they try to keep. In the first half of the theoretical part there are some definitions and explanations of some important terms related to rituals, traditions and their importance in people´s life. The second half of the theoretical part deals with a family: different types of families, history and evolution of family lives by Lawrence Stone. Then I deal with the sorting of transition rituals by Gennep. The sorting of family rituals and rituals done during a day is also an integral part of the theory. In the category of calendric rituals some symbols of the most important holidays in the year (such as Christmas and Easter) are chosen and described. The last part contains some extinct and new rituals - e.g. the 1st May, Valentine's Day, All Souls Day and Halloween are included. The second part of the thesis contains the practical part. The aim of the thesis, which is given at the beginning, is to find out, which traditions are handed down from generation to generation in contemporary society, if they are kept, which traditions disappeared and which have come into existence. Furthermore, I deal with the importance of rituals in contemporary families and with describing a form and use of daily and annual rituals. The aim of the work includes this research question: How important are family rituals and traditions in contemporary families? A qualitative research method of semi-structured interview was used in this research. The respondents were chosen by free choice. There were 10 interviewed families, each family differed in parents´ education. The first part consisted of families, whose members have a university degree and in the second part people are apprenticed. All interviewers were asked the same number of questions on a specific topic. At the beginning of the interview, respondents were informed about the research process and the result of the use of the data for the research. Interviews were conducted in a period of two months. One interview lasted during 30-60 minutes, when individual responses were recorded on paper and then transcribed and inserted into Annex. The interviews were held in places that respondents identified themselves, always in natural environment where they felt comfortable and were able to talk about their privacy. Topics containing the interview were divided into 7 categories: basic information, family rituals, family memories, religion and belief, Easter, Christmas, new and extinct rituals. Similarities and differences were identified after a careful study and a comparison. The results of the survey reveal that the families having a university degree attach great importance to family rituals, which means to spend time together, then time of contentment, peace and love. Compared to respondents with apprentice who do not attach much value to family rituals, even if that means to them: evenings spent together, warmth, shared holiday celebrations and holidays. An important aspect of a respect for family rituals is an established order in a family, but that is reflected by employment of parents. Due to time utilization family rituals are also limited in individual families. This research also confirmed compliance with the various traditions that can bring out the original families, mostly at Easter and Christmas. But traditions associated with areligion are reduced. This society refuses the introduction of new rituals to a family and still prefers the traditional customs. This work should aim to identify the values and importance of Czech traditions in a contemporary family, when through the hectic time we do not have time to stop and spend a quiet day with a family. This fact is closely related to problems of family background and family cohesion.

Respect for the traditions and rituals of minorities in nursing care.
ROLANTOVÁ, Lucie
The subject of this dissertation is culturally diversified nursing care provided to adherents of the selected religious minorities. The theoretical part of the dissertation is concerned with transcultural nursing care and also with the characteristics of the selected religions. The practical part of this dissertation includes processing and evaluation of the data acquired during the conducted research. There were three objectives set at the beginning. The first objective was to explore the particularities of nursing care provided to adherents of the selected religious minorities. In order to achieve the set objective, a method of half-structured interview with representatives of different minorities (Centre of Muslim Communities, Diamond Way Buddhism and Czech Orthodox Church) living in the Czech Republic was utilized. Seven representatives of each minority took part in the interview. The results of the research related to the first objective showed that there is a range of defects when it comes to providing nursing care to adherents of different religion. Hospitalization in particular was one of the main subjects of the whole interview. Most of the respondents had negative experience when it comes to staying in hospital environment. All the negative experience resulted from and was connected to their religion. The interview also disclosed new information needed for providing considerate nursing care. The new information were disclosed as a result of the interview conducted with each minority and relate to catering, hygiene, dying or refusing medical treatment. The second objective was to monitor nurses? experience with multi-cultural nursing care and the last objective was to determine the nurses? awareness of nursing care fields, in which the adherents of the selected religious minorities in the Czech Republic are particular. In order to achieve the objective related to the quantitative part of the research, a method of survey (questionnaire) was utilized. The questionnaire was given to the nurses from all the hospitals in South-Bohemian Region. The results in this part showed experience of nurses with multi-cultural nursing and their knowledge of nursing care fields, in which the adherents of the selected religious minorities are particular. Although the most of the nurses have come across multi-cultural nursing, they still do not know the particularities of the selected religions completely. The analysis of the results shows that providers of nursing care are getting more and more aware of multi-cultural nursing, which will certainly have a positive impact, in the future, on satisfying the needs connected to religion of individual patients. Based on the results of the research, an informational material intended for nurses was prepared, which contains brief descriptions of the selected religious minorities living in the Czech Republic and their particularities in the field of providing culturally considerate nursing care. Furthermore, standards for nursing care were created for each one of the selected religious minorities. Preparation of material for accreditation of educational courses for nurses also took place. The material is focused on multi-cultural nursing and the selected religious minorities. In order to further improve the care provided to the adherents of different religions, a nursing anamnesis draft was created, which also focuses on needs connected to religion.
