VOLOSHYN, Tetyana
The thesis titled Nursing Care Provided by Nuns from 19thCentrury to thePresent Days is based on only theoretical materials. It tries to gather the overview of this historical field focusing on the importance of nuns for nursing care. The aim of this thesis was to chart the history of order nursing care based on available literature and to find a parallel with the present. There is also a characteristics of the period. The social, economic, political and religious influences, that have effect on religious orderes, cause many successes and failures. To acquire the awareness of historical connections which are captured on the following pages, it was necessary to study a great number of bibliographic publications and sources. I used the method of synthesis, proposal and demonstration. Using these methods should help to be well informed about this issue, submit important facts and mark the importance of nuns´ nursing care. Acquired knowledge is thoroughly processed into individual chapters by arrangements and its context. The significant resourceswere unpublished materials from church orders and interviews with nuns. One big part of information is from historical magazines and from sources in the National Archive and the Archive of the Capital of Prague. The thesis should serve all people who want to get to know their job from a different point of view and consider how the faith could lead a person to support and determination to work unselfishly and with self-sacrification for others who suffer from illnesses and poverty. It is exactly this unselfish and self-sacrificing work of nuns which can be an example for us how to treat the patiens with respect and understanding.

Koubová, Markéta ; Foltýn, Dušan (advisor) ; Charvátová, Kateřina (referee)
The main part of the thesis mentions last plague epidemic wave, that hit our country in the years 1713-1714, here I focus specifically on the city of Prague. The Czech lands, Moravia and Silesia are mentioned only briefly to show little differences between lands and their plague rules. I also describe medical facilities and hospitals, where were sick and dying people placed, and personnel which took care of these people. Divine services were important for people at that time, society was very religious and people thought that plague is a divine punishment. Even though society was very religiously based, cities and streets were filthy and full of mud.People in cities had very poor hygienic standards and habits, that helped to faster spreading of the disease. At last, places of final rest for terminally ill people, plague cemeteries are mentioned.
