Nutrition of Patients from Selected National and Religious Minorities in Medical Devices.
BRŮŽOVÁ, Daniela
Nowadays, we frequently meet individuals from other countries, people of different religion, with their own values and culture, which is different from the general majority. These individuals also have specific dietary and nutritional requirements. If food is based on the very foundations of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, it is a fundamental aspect of human existence. The goal of modern nursing is to provide individuals with culturally specific care through culturally appropriate ways to match the cultural values, beliefs, and life habits of the individual or group. The aim of this master thesis is to map the issue of nutrition of patients from selected national and religious minorities in health care facilities. The empirical part of the thesis is based on qualitative research. The data collection technique was a semi-structured interview, which was conducted with representatives of minorities (Roma, Vietnamese, followers of Islam and followers of Orthodoxy), as well as with representatives of general nurses and nutrition therapists. The research results show that representatives of the Roma and Vietnamese minorities have minimal dietary requirements during hospitalization. The requirements of followers of Orthodoxy depend on whether and to what extend they are fasting. Representatives of Islamists have the greatest dietetic requirements in hospital facilities. Furthermore, significant differences in diet can also be found within one minority. During the hospitalization, majority of probands were not asked about the dietary specifics and requirements based on their culture or about the eating habits of them as individuals. This statement was further confirmed by general nurses, when several probands told us that they do not ask patients about their dietary requirements. The results of interviews with general nurses clearly show high level of deficiency in the knowledge of transcultural nursing, as well as in the provision of transcultural care. Probands from the ranks of general nurses named very few cultures that they encounter during their practice. Also, it was clear from interviews with nutrition therapists that they do not encounter a great cultural diversity of patients. This raises questions such as whether the nursing history is obtained by the nurses in the right way and whether the eating habits and requirements of the patients are recorded. Collaboration between general nurses and nutritional therapists was assessed positively by representatives of both of these research groups. The output of this master thesis is an educational material designed for nurses, which should acquaint health professionals with the specifics of providing care for selected minorities.

MARKOVÁ, Romana
The thesis describes the role of Vietnamese cuisine in the process of integration of the Vietnamese minority in the Czech Republic. The diploma thesis is divided into two parts-theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with the concept of integration as such, its definition and classification. The first half of the work focuses on the integration policy of the Government of the Czech Republic and introduces readers to the notions of culture, cultural sensitivity, intercultural encounters and contact. In the theoretical part, there are also described centers for supporting integration and non-profit organizations in the Czech Republic engaged in the support of integration and what is the role the food in this process and to what extent these organizations focus on the role of food. There is also a presentation of Vietnamese cuisine in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, the theoretical part of the thesis focuses specifically on the concept of food, Vietnamese cuisine and a brief introduction of typical Vietnamese dishes. Last but not least, the diploma thesis reflects important knowledge about food as an instrument of integration, which serves as the basis for the following practical part. The practical part is devoted to the research itself, the main task of which was to find out, in a semi-structured interview, what role food plays in the process of integration, to what extent the addressed organizations consciously use food in their practice as one way of integration and how they reflect its effectiveness in the integration process. It reveals how Vietnamese cuisine is perceived in the Czech Republic and how the Vietnamese minority adopts Czech eating habits. It also summarizes the benefits of introducing culture through food, and the possible disadvantages of this, or the extent to which it is possible to learn about foreign cultures through food.
