Integration of Immigrants from East and Middle East
JURAČKOVÁ, Andrea
The topic of my thesis is the integration of foreigners from the Middle East. I have chosen this topic because of my professional focus on working with foreigners and my personal interest in social work, both in public and non-profit organizations. The aim of my bachelor thesis is to find out how foreigners from the Middle East are integrated into the Czech Republic, and how social workers can help according to their subjective statements. Five participants completed the research, respondents representing different nationalities from the study region. With each of the respondents, I undertook an in-depth semi-structured interview. The study is divided into theoretical and practical parts. In the theoretical part, I focus on statistical data about foreigners in the Czech Republic, the situation of selected national and ethnic minorities, legislation related to foreigners, migration and integration questions, as well as social work in the field of integration of foreigners. The practical part focuses on the research investigation and presentation of the results. The collected data were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The research shows that the length of stay and the situation at the time of arrival in the Czech Republic had a strong influence on the process of integration of all participants. All the respondents demonstrated their full integration into the individualistic principles of modern society, and they were mainly interested in a less bonded way of life. On the basis of the collected research results, it can be considered that all the informants have been living in our country for a relatively long time, and it is evident that assimilation is in progress. Their ability to adapt has been demonstrated not only in their rapid learning of the Czech language but also in their adaptation to the local culture and religious tolerance. The results of this work serve as feedback to help us better understand the situation of migrants after their arrival in a new country. The comparison of their fates and the goals achieved in their integration into Czech society provides valuable insights for those interested in the issue of the integration of foreigners.

Factors influencing development of cultural competencies in nursing students
ŠPIROCHOVÁ, Ilona
The concept of cultural competence hides a large amount of information on how to provide culturally appropriate care. This bachelor thesis deals not only with the cultural competencies themselves, but also with related factors that affect their development. It also deals with transcultural models and the effect of cultural competencies in the nursing process. The aim of the thesis was to map the factors influencing the development of cultural competencies in nursing students. To fulfil the goal, 4 hypotheses have been set. To verify the hypotheses, quantitative data collection has been performed using an online questionnaire. Students of the General Nurse and General Nursing program have been assigned to the research group. The results have shown that nursing students are influenced by the media, education, social networks and the attitude of teachers, but not to the extent we have expected. The results also show that nursing students most often meet the Romani people, Ukrainian and Vietnamese patients during their internship. As part of their internship, students most often encounter patients who profess Christianity, Islam, and Jehovah's Witnesses. In the research, students have shown that they have knowledge in the field of transcultural nursing and consider it important to provide culturally competent care. The conclusion of the research is that cultural competences will become more and more popular among nursing students due to the current increase in migration. The development of cultural competences will still need to be expanded in the areas of knowledge and skills in transcultural nursing.

The influence of ethnic attitudes and stereotypes in nursing care
FUKOVÁ, Jitka
In multicultural societies, life brings many pitfalls. Ethnic attitudes and stereotypes, which influence the behavior of the majority society towards minorities, are deeply rooted in every society. These attitudes and stereotypes do not shy away from medical staff who must provide care to clients of different ethnicities by their cultural, social, and spiritual needs. This thesis aimed to ascertain whether ethnic attitudes and stereotypes influence the nursing care of Roma and Vietnamese ethnic minorities, what factors influence the emergence of attitudes towards selected ethnic minorities, and whether the approach of nurses to nursing care of Roma and Vietnamese minorities is and where are differences. Hypotheses: H1: The negative attitudes of nurses towards the Roma minority based on their different attitudes to life rather than on based on their different physical appearance. H2: Sisters' negative attitudes towards the Vietnamese minority arise from their different attitudes to life, rather than from their different physical appearance. H3: In nursing care, nurses take a more positive attitude towards the Vietnamese minority than towards the Roma minority. H4: Nurses with stereotypes of the Roma minority in nursing care try to have minimal physical contact with clients of this ethnic group than nurses without stereotypes. H5: University-educated nurses, based on greater knowledge, are less influenced by ethnic attitudes manifested in nursing care for clients of ethnic minorities than secondary-educated nurses. Quantitative research was used for the implementation of the research survey and the elaboration of the practical part of the diploma thesis. The method of questioning in the form of a questionnaire with a set of closed questions was chosen. 216 questionnaires were used for statistical processing. The selection criteria were persons working in the position of general nurses of inpatient departments in five medical facilities in the South Bohemian Region. From the available results of the research survey, it was found that general nurses are widely aware of the existence of ethnic attitudes and stereotypes. It was shown that these attitudes have been formed to a large extent since childhood in the family and the emergence of the respondents attitudes was significantly influenced by personal experience with ethnicity. According to the obtained results, university-educated nurses are more influenced by ethnic attitudes than secondary school-educated nurses, nevertheless, they state that studying at a university has influenced their attitude towards selected minorities, especially they report obtaining more information. Furthermore, the survey found that the approach of nurses in the provision of nursing care to the Roma and Vietnamese minorities is different, respondents state a more positive attitude and approach to the Vietnamese minority than to the Roma. The nurses express their negative attitudes mainly by inappropriate statements and thoughts about members of these ethnic groups and also by an effort for minimal physical contact. H1-the hypothesis was confirmed. H2-the hypothesis was not confirmed. H3-the hypothesis was confirmed. H4-the hypothesis was confirmed. H5-the hypothesis was not confirmed. The results showed that ethnic attitudes in the provision of nursing care affect almost half of the respondents and in the case of ethnic stereotypes only one third of the respondents. These attitudes have been formed to a large extent since childhood in the family and to a large extent the personal experience of the respondents with ethnicity. University-educated nurses are more influenced by ethnic attitudes than high school-educated nurses. This thesis can be used as a tool to achieve greater awareness of nurses about this issue or as a basis for creating presentations for professional conferences in order to gradually reduce the influence of ethnic attitudes and stereotypes on the provision of nursing care.

Life in the ethnically mixed family
FARKAŠOVÁ, Lenka
The bachelor thesis focuses on living in an ethnically mixed family. The first chapter of the theoretical part defines the basic concepts such as human race, ethnicity, ethnicity, nation and nationality. The second chapter deals with inter-ethnic relations. The third chapter is devoted to the Roma ethnic group, where the origin of the Roma is described only after their work in the Czech Republic. In addition to history, this chapter also focuses on Roma demography, Roma distribution, their social typology and lifestyle. The empirical part was processed using a qualitative approach. Interview was used as a method of data collection. The results of the research tell us that there are certain differences in the coexistence of two partners of different ethnicities, especially in their characters, these partners also face more difficult acceptance from family members. Such a relationship requires a lot of patience, compromise and determination.

Adlerová, Nina ; Řezáčová, Vendula (advisor) ; Paulíček, Miroslav (referee)
This bachelor thesis "Fieldwork in the Jewish community in Prague" is concerned with the social identity of young Czech Jews. The aim of this work is to describe the duality, or hybridity of identity based on the blending of two distinct identities, namely Czech and Jewish identity. There is also an effort to transcribe the self-reflection bearers of these identities in their everyday lives. This work relies on the work of several prominent authors handling with social, or ethnic identity, and also on earlier research conducted by Dana Bittnerová on national and ethnic minorities living in the Czech Republic. The basis of this work is anthropological fieldwork, which focused primarily on members of one particular group, which is part of the Prague community. This group is called Czech Union of Jewish youth. This research was consisted of participant observation organized events or events arising spontaneously and of interviews with selected respondents. It is shown that for all the observed, Jewishness and Czechness are an integral part of their identities, of whom they are. And that these two identities are closely intertwined. Jewish identity is indeed imperative, but to maintain a strong identity is also necessary process of self-identification. The signs of declared identity are also important...

In this step, I will analyse a convolute of public policy documents, which includes international legal conventions, domestic minority laws and strategic documents. In the next step, I will focus on the social image of the Roma, the form of which, according to the social construction theory of target populations, plays an undeniable role in the formulation of public policies and the behaviour of elected officials. The last main effort to fulfil the aim of the thesis...
