HRKĽOVÁ, Markéta
The theme of this bachelor thesis is the preparation for fathering the role of a midwife. This work is composed of two parts, the theoretical and the investigative part. The theoretical part deals with three main chapters. In view of professional literature there is described the theme of midwifery in the first chapter. There is outlined the history and the present of midwives and also their competence. The second chapter is devoted to the involvement of father during pregnancy and childbirth. There is described an antenatal preparation, experience the pregnancy from the view of a partner. We explain the term couvades and we bring nearer the outlook at the issue of the attendance of a father by childbirth. The third chapter is named fathering. There is the description of fatherhood, its history and present in this part. We also deal with the matter of active fathering and other types of fathers in this unit. The investigative part is focused on anxieties and readiness of fathers for their first child. We set three basic aims in this bachelor thesis. Aim No. 1: To find out, how the midwife provided the information to the future fathers and what info the fathers missed. Aim No. 2: To find out, what the future fathers felt apprehensive about, where they searched for information, help and advice. Aim No. 3: To find out, if the attendance at the antenatal course was practical. On the basis of given aims there were settled research questions focused on midwife´s education in the preparation for the role of a father and also focused on the way of searching for information which the fathers missed. The goal of this work was to find out, how the men were up to their new role and how the midwife became involved in the antenatal courses and at childbirth. It was chosen the qualitative research investigation for this matters processing and achievement of appointed aims. We selected the method of semi-structured interviews of own construction for data collection. The interviews were consequently processed by the method of content analyses. The research file made a random selection of men who were willing to cooperate, they agreed orally with providing the interviews and also with the publication of some identification details. The research sample was made by ten men who expected their first child and they took part in the antenatal course. The gained information is written in italics. The answers of respondents are described in the practical part of this work. Then there is the summary assessment of the most important data from the interviews and also the table with identification details of the participants. This investigation was made from January to March 2015. We find out from the results that the most common way of education went in lecture completed with presentation and video about childbirth. The other ways were e.g. monologues with the possibility to ask questions and informative brochures. Men very often felt the lack of preparation from the midwife especially about the postpartum period. They missed the sample of manipulation with newborn infant, changing nappies and bathing. We found out the lack of time devoted to men at the antenatal courses where they missed the theme of first aid for newborn infants. The men were especially afraid of the birth, health of their partner, child and also of their new life role. They get the most information from their mothers, partners, friends and on the internet. Men think that the antenatal courses were good, they helped them to develop gained information and clarify some situations they didn´t know much about. This work points to the importance and necessity of education of future fathers at the antenatal courses.

CÁPOVÁ, Adéla
The scope of this dissertation focuses on issues related to family planning from the men´s point of view. Studies on fertility and family planning were focused overwhelmingly on women. The men´s participation in studies on family planning and reproduction is increasingly recognized as important; both men and women make important contributions to bringing children into life. Data of qualitative research were collected in interviews with 170 Czech men aged between 25 and 50. A grounded theory approach was used to analyze the data. The results show strong social pressure determining the ideal form of material and psychosocial background for offspring confronts current generation with very demanding decision-making on parenthood timing. Although men are in need of negotiations, the responsibility and practical decision-making is mainly left up to women. The inability of men to father their own genetic child has been identified as a main concern and an important infertility topic. However, the results have shown a low attention paid to the prevention of disorders of the men´s reproductive health.

Absence of the father during raising a child within the relation to self-concept and creating the gender role of a child
HANUŠOVÁ, Martina
This bachelor's thesis discusses a phenomenon of father absence and its effect on selfconcept and shaping of child's gender role. The theoretical section focuses on a summary of both theoretical and practical findings related to the given issues. For example, circumstances of family disintegration, particularities of fatherhood concerning relationships with son and daughter and possible consequences of father absence in a life of a child are explained. Clarification of the term "selfconcept" and "selfevaluation" as well as depicting gender issues is also crucial in this thesis. Some of, both directly and indirectly, related surveys are included in this section. A possible impact of a biological father's absence on a self-concept and gender role of early mature individuals is illustrated in the practical section. The essence of this section is to find out whether it is possible to detect differences in selfconcept of individuals from complete and incomplete (alternatively supplemented) family and whether there are differences in perception of gender roles among individuals from each category. These presumptions were scrutinised (using Rosenberg SelfEsteem Scale and Personal Attributes Questionnaire) in a sample of adult individuals from complete (n=101) and incomplete or supplemented (n=48) families. Four hypotheses were proposed, none of which could be validated due to the results. The discussion deals with possible causes and limitations of these conclusions.

By means of anonymous interviews with both fathers and mothers I examined how fatherhood affects and completes male identity and how important it is for men. Then I evaluated and compared these interviews.
