Perceptions of men on their participation in childbirth
BUKOVSKÁ, Daniela
This study consists of two key parts. The focus of the theoretical part is pregnancy, childbirth and activities that a partner of the pregnant woman can carry on during various stages of her pregnancy and delivery. Furthermore, activities of nursing midwife who has to bear in mind that not only the laboring woman is in the delivery room, but also her partner. The empirical part was prepared through a qualitative research based on structured interviews with twelve respondents, partners of pregnant women. These respondents were divided into three groups: first-time fathers who participated in specialized childbirth classes, first-time fathers who did not participate in the specialized childbirth classes and obtained the relevant information from their friends, books or from the internet, and fathers-to be attended their child?s birth in the past. The research was carried on in June and July in České Budějovice. The results can be used as educational material for practicing midwives who have decided to use their professional knowledge in the specialized childbirth classes and for midwives working in the delivery rooms. The first goal was to explore whether the expectations of men who decided attend their child?s birth and participated in the specialized childbirth classes differ from the expectations of men who did not participate in the specialized childbirth courses. The results show that both groups basically expect the same; that is willingness, empathy and readiness to help on the part of medical team, active role in childbirth and, in particular, coaching by the nursing midwife. The second goal was to compare expectations of men who had been present at the childbirth in the past and expectations of first-time fathers. There research has shown that their expectations do not differ from the expectations of the first-time fathers who have not yet attended the delivery. They also expect active involvement and guidance on the part of the nursing midwife who would explain everything to them in the delivery room. In case they were not actively involved in the first delivery, they would like to play an active role in the next labor and delivery. This bachelor?s thesis can serve as information and textbook for future students of the branch Midwife. The results can also be used as educational material for practicing midwives who have decided to use their professional knowledge in the specialized childbirth classes and for midwives working in the delivery rooms.

Impact of unmarried cohabitation on their child from the kindergarten teacher's point of view
OKAPALOVÁ, Martina
Bachelor thesis aims to determine the impact of unmarried cohabitation on a child from the viewpoint of kindergarten teachers. The second aim is to determine how children themselves perceive that their parents are married or in a marriage "without papers". The thesis consists of two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with unmarried cohabitation, marriage, child and family needs. The practical part presents the results of a qualitative survey, which is made in form of interviews. The main research question is: How do kindergarten teachers perceive the impact of unmarried cohabitation on a child, whether and how unmarried cohabitation manifests on a child in kindergarten? The research group consists of kindergarten teachers. The second research group consists of children of mixed-age classes. Using the method of group interview shows, what wedding means to them, whether and how they perceive differences connected with the surname. The research showed that preschool children, from the perspective of the teachers, do not perceive at all, whether their parents are married or unmarried. The important thing for them is that parents are together and behave lovingly to each other, as well as for them alone. This opinion was confirmed by interviews with children.

Changes of children's status in society: disappearance of childhood or childhood innocence?
Papoušková, Kristina ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Dvořák, Tomáš (referee)
My bachelor work is focused on the topic of childhood, namely its development and change in society. I introduce here the discipline of sociology of childhood - range of its interest, background of its progress and notable authors. I'd like to prove that childhood isn't only a period of time in life. I research infancy as social entity, in this context it is possible to compare childhood to social construct such as gender or social class. I define possible forms of infancy including for example the topic of disappearance of childhood. I try to emphasize that infancy wasn't always included in the same way in society. Last but not least I try to deconstruct the myth of innocent childhood, which is typical for Western culture. Apart from the theoretically oriented part the work also includes empiric section, which analyses infancy of three generations of women, who lived their childhood in different periods of 20th century in Czechoslovakia. In this analysis I concentrate on infancy in context of social changes and in relation to effect of educational institutions or child collective on children. I aim to describe disappearing infancy and the myth of child innocence.
