Phenomenon of Anxiety in Beckett's Endgame
Horčicová, Zdeňka ; KOUBOVÁ, Alice (advisor) ; MUSILOVÁ, Martina (referee)
My master thesis inspects the phenomenon of anxiety in Samuel Beckett's Endgame. In this thesis, anxiety is seen from the phenomenological perspective . However, the explanation of anxiety by psychology and psychiatry is offered as well, so that more complex understanding is enabled. An analysis of Beckett's play is highly influenced by phenomenology, especially by Martin Heidegger, and also by the daseinsanalysis. In these connotations, we inspect Endgame, especially the situation of characters on the stage and the world of the play itself as a mirroring of the real world. We show that human existence is one of the most significant sources of anxiety, that it is innate to almost every human being from time to time, and that it has a remarkable dramatic potential. Although there is no final explication of Beckett's play, my thesis attempts to get closer to its understanding through the phenomenon of anxiety.
As a part of this thesis, the translation of one part of Stanley Cavell's essay called Ending the Waiting Game is included, which tries to explain the meaning of Endgame in a different way.

Movements of Doubts
Bednář, Michal ; MAKONJ, Karel (advisor) ; TRPIŠOVSKÝ, Lukáš (referee)
This diploma thesis named Movements of doubts has no academic ambition.
It's only a reflection and summary of authors personal thoughts and themes
which has very close connection with doubts. Doubts are valuable and
necesarry for those who study acting. There would be no performing arts
without the doubts. Doubts has an assurance function. Doubts keep the artist
on the right track while creating a piece. This work had been created from
emerging doubts and thats why it contradicts itself in so many ways!

The quality of life of clients with anxious disorder in psychiatry clinic in Vimperk.
BEJČKOVÁ, Milada
The bachelor's thesis deals with recording and evaluating the quality of life of the patients suffering from anxiety disorders who are under outpatients' care in Vimperk region. These disorders are called neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders. They are frequent psychiatric disorders which are becoming greater in number due to the changes in lifestyle. There are frequently chronic disorders involved which mean a long-term harassment for the patient. What is of great importance is the appropriate treatment and the way the patient and the people around them approach the disorder. The main goal of the treatment is not relieving the troubles only, but also supporting the patient to be able to manage them, to be independent and to be able to join the society's life. The above mentioned disorders represent a considerable limitation of man's life, thus influencing its quality. It is a very serious fact, and therefore I have focused my attention on it. A quality of life can be characterized as an individual's subjective look upon the individual sides of his life. The most important factors influencing the quality of life include the state of health, family background, enough money an appropriate job, the development of social contacts and possibilities of further education and spending one's free time in a reasonable way. The quality of life can be looked upon as a fairly individual idea. There are values involved which are different for everyone and undergo changes during one's lifetime. The bachelor's thesis consists of two basic parts, a theoretical and a research one. In the theoretical part I have borrowed facts from specialized literature where there is a description of the individual anxiety disorders and their treatment to be found. In the next chapter I have dealt with the problem of the quality of life and possibilities of how one can look upon this term. The second part of the thesis involves a {\clqq}research study`` processed on the basis of the data analysis which have been gained by way of questionnaires and dialogues. The research of the patients' quality of life was carried out through the SEIQoL-Method, moreover, the respondents were presented a uestionnaire which was specifically arranged so that the research questions might have been answered. There was a total of 100 patients' data gained and analysed within the scope of the psychiatric outpatients' department in Vimperk. Further on there were two research questions specified: 1.Whether the clients of the psychiatric outpatients' department have the impression of being stigmatized within the society and 2. Whether and which way the quality of life of the research sample had improved in comparision with the beginning of the treatment. The patients were chosen accidentally, they were clients of the outpatients' department suffering from anxiety disorders who appeared in the period of January until March for a control check-up and agreed with the research to be carried out. The bachelor's thesis can be used as a source of information both for the lay public and the founders and providers of outpatients' departments' sevices nationwide.

There is only psychiatrist-consultation care of psychic condition of patients in most of medical centres, but all diseases affect the psychic condition, even for patient´s close ones. Good psychic condition linked up with changed social condition is very important for successful cure. If the patients have low stress tolerance there is a risk, that every disease causes the hard life situation. Psychological care and cooperation with the doctor, medical staff, rehabilitation and social workers also as the communication competence can highly increase the quality of life of patients and their relatives.

Fear and anxiety in connection with acute cases
ŠČERBOVÁ, Nikola
Fear and distress in relation to emergency situations. The purpose of this essay is to learn about position of health rescuers and patients in acute, life and health endangering situations. The objective of the work was to identify how patients feel in crisis and acute situations and what type of intervention is most effective. Method: the research included two sections. The first section was in the form of a pilot research based on qualitative method of non-standardized interview with limited number of patients and health rescuers. Results of this pilot research served as basis for selection of specific circumstances and issues related to fear and distress and questions were formulated for an extended research performed with larger group of respondents. The group of pilot research respondents included 5 health rescuers and 4 patients rescued by ambulance. The consequential extended research was conducted with 8 health rescuers and 8 patients rescued by ambulance. The research took place in South Bohemia and Karlovy Vary region. Results: rescuers are aware of the fact that fear and distress of patients are important factors affecting the overall condition of the patient. They would appreciate extensions of their professional training by special training focused on this subject, since most of them act only based on their own experience in such situation. Results of the research indicate that patients do not differ between terms fear and distress. Most of patients experience distress caused by something unknown rather than fear from specific danger or situation. In most cases patients consider psychological support and help provided by health rescuers to be positive.

Possibilities of communication improvement with premedicament patient
ROHÁČKOVÁ, Blanka
The main purpose of the thesis was to identify potential for improvement of communication with a pre-medicated patient.This research was motivated by the fact that this subject has not yet been explored and it has not been fully discovered whether the communication needs of patients are sufficiently satisfied before the execution of a medical surgery.This paper was based on a quantitative research, including an anonymous questionnaire concerning areas relevant to the mental state of the patient. One part of the research file was made up of clients hospitalized after a medical surgery. The second part of the file was created from Anestesiology and Operating Room nurses. The best solution seems to be creation of communication standards with pre-medicated patients and elaboration of educational plans for patients before medical surgery.
