Aspects of dying and death in selected world religions
OLIVOVÁ, Tereza
Dying, death and burial of dead people, those are integral parts of each one´s life. However, despite this fact, the death and everything connected to it is understood by the society as something negative or taboo. Dying, which can take different time, is the last stage of one´s life. Death means the end of an organism, and it must always be stated by a doctor. Nowadays, the death moved from a home to an institution. That is the reason why it is nowadays said to much about the medicalization of death and depersonalization of dying people. Especially in recent years, the phenomenon of taboo of death, which is defined as a lack of basic knowledge in carrying out effective nursing care for the dying, is getting forward. Accordingly to fact that the death and dying is an everyday part of the nursing profession, nurses must have lots of knowledge and skill prerequisites for providing a succesful performance in their nursing career. It is necessary for a nurse, to provide a culturally competent care and if so, he or she must recognize not only the cultural profile of the patient, but also his or her own attitudes, values, heritage, cultural behavior and recognition of specifics in terms of similarites and differences between the minority and majority. In the Czech Republic there live 10,436,560 inhabitants, being part of 23 different nationalities and within this population, there is 2,168,952 people which are believers. At the time of an evolving globalization-unifying the society it is required to have the knowledge of cultural specificities and differences in connection with dying, death and transcultural nursing. My bachelor thesis named Aspects of dying and death in selected world religions, is based only on theoretical background and it tries to describe individual differences which are obvious in selected world religions, namely Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism, focusing on the final stage of a human life in the formo f dying, death and burial. This work is supposed to have an informative character. The goal, while making this paper, was to provide the reader with a basic picture of four world religions and their attitude in the case of death and dying patients from different cultures and different religious beliefs, than our general society has. A big part of my analysis is a description of a situation, where cultural destructiveness, disability or blindness may occur, thanks to the not-knowing of cultural specificities of the patient, while providing the transcultural nursing care. To obtain the information conserning the current state of knowledge that is described on the following pages of this work, it was necessary to study a large number of bibliographic documents both from Czech, as well as from foreign experts who deal with dying and death and religion itself. Other important sources for this work were professional journals, including the magazine Contact, which is published by the fakulty of Health and Social Care, with the University of South Bohemia, which describes the latest findings, regarding nursing topics so they are related to the topic of this thesis. With the help of operationalization of key words, for searching i used the PudMed professional databases Scopus and EBSCO. This thesis should be enought to explain the differences that are evident in various religions, and thus enable to navigate better in the topic of transcultural nursing at the time of death and dying. The work could also increase the interest of individuals in these phenomenom. The results obtained can be used as a background material for teaching of nursing subjects or for example, as a contribution for seminars, courses and conferences dealing with this issue.

The issue of communication between the patient and nurse belonging to minority communities.
TICHÁ, Kateřina
The issue of cross-cultural nursing is currently a hot topic, because the tourism, migration, etc. grow due to the borders opening. The professionals working as paramedical staff are required to provide effective and high-quality nursing care to all people, without exception. But who considers the fact that the caring professionals can be a different culture, religion or nationality? The presented diploma thesis is devoted to nurses belonging to minority groups, and it is aimed to the problem of communication between the patient and the nurse belonging to a minority group. Specifically, this is about foreign-born nurses, nurses of different religions, same-sex orientation and nurses with physical disabilities. The theoretical basis on which the thesis relies, is primarily a conceptual model of nursing of the Rising Sun by Madeleine Leininger in interaction with the model of culturally considerate care by J. N. Giger and R. E. Davidhizar. In the theoretical part, the concepts relating to the cross-cultural nursing and issues relating to minority groups in the Czech Republic are defined. The preliminary descriptive empirical matter of the thesis was to find out what problems do nurses belonging to minority groups have in relation to the profession of nurses. Research sample is made up of 16 nurses belonging to minority groups, including nurses with different sexual orientation, physically disabled nurses, nurses with ethnic differences and the nurses of different religions. For the empirical part of the thesis, the qualitative approach was selected as a research design, since, according to Strauss and Corbin (1999), this option is appropriate in situations in which the researcher seeks to uncover the experience with a certain phenomenon. The introduction of the research investigation was a pilot study, which used the case study technique for data capture, specifically, the method of the life stories of nurses with cultural, religious, sexual or health differences. For the selection of the respondents there was the snowball method used, as we live in an area where there is difficult to reach these people. A pilot study was a base for the research investigation undertaken by using semi-structured interviews with patients, doctors and nurses in charge of the hospital. The results obtained in this survey were compared with the results of a pilot study. The main research objective of the pilot study was defined due to the research problem, to explore the issues of communication within the nursing care between the patient and the nurse belonging to a minority group. Following this target, the main research question was established: What problems do the nurses belonging to a minority group have to face in nursing practice? Then it is followed up with next research question: What difficulties do the nurses belonging to a minority group find in communication with a patient? The results of the pilot study are divided into 4 groups according to the above division, which means the nurses with different nationality, religion, with a different sexual orientation and handicapped nurses. In each group the areas of contact and interaction at the workplace were monitored, it means cooperation with colleagues, and the fact of the contact with patients from the perspective of the nurses and their personal subjective satisfaction of the communication held within the nursing profession. Subsequently, in the context of the pilot study, the occurrence of features typical only for certain groups of nurses was found out. From this point of view, for a group of nurses of foreign nationalities, the results included communication barriers associated with another native language than Czech. The research sample of disabled nurses expands the results for specific care procedures that may be a barrier due to their health-related handicaps. The nurses describe their physical difference and its circumstances.
