The Taboo of Death in Contemporary Czech Society
MARTÍNEK, Daniel
The main goal of my thesis is to describe the idea of death and dying, and then to define these. Then I will differentiate and describe various types of death, together with summarizing historical evolution of the approach of society to death, and in the next part I will describe the idea of death as it is seen by the most significant world religions. In theoretical part of my thesis I would like to define the purpose of palliative care and the role social workers play in the process of dying, and define the problematic surrounding euthanasia. The main goal of the practical part is to obtain, evaluate and summarize the approach to death of all the age groups in contemporary czech society. The reasearch will be done with the help of quantitative method in the form of questionnaire. Based on the established hypotheses, I created multiple questions related to the hypotheses, from which I created the questionnaire. The questionnaire also contains identification questions, which are meant to give closer identification of respondents. A graph has been created to every question and each graph has been labeled. Next I will create charts which will evaluate how separate age groups answered the questions. The practical part of the thesis confirmed, that in the present the tabooing of the death is more common with atheists, who do not think about the topic of the death very often. First hypothesis has been confirmed. The hypothesis which assumed that the young people to the age of 24 years are going to be the most afraid ones of the psychic pain while dying, has not been confirmed. Neither has been the hypothesis which assumed the elderly people (60 years and more) are going to be The most common answer among elderly people was the fear of being helpless. The answers were equalized among the youger generation (to the age of 24 years). The third hypothesis also has been confirmed. The answers, to the question of death topic interest, proponents of legalizing euthanasia have shown less interest than opponents.

Topics of talks between a cancer patient and a volunteer
PLASSOVÁ, Martina
Topics of talks between a cancer patient and a volunteer The bachelor thesis on this topic I chose for several reasons - the main one was, that I perform a volunteer activity in a cancer ward at the Hospital of České Budějovice from the first year of the studies at the local fakulty. The second reason of the choice just of this topic was my interest and need to make the best of the time spent in the cancer ward as a volunteer not only for my own development, but to provide obtained useful information and knowledge to other people - especially to other current or future volunteers and best of all also to those who so far only consider about the volunteering or they have never heard about it yet. Cancer diagnoses are last but not least even today a relatively taboo topic and at the same time, unfortunatelly, they are becoming more frequent. In my bachelor thesis I concentrated on a content of conversations which I led with cancer patients as a volunteer. To collect the data I used a qualitative approach - a method of a narrative inteview and an observation. Data processing was carried out primarily through a qualitative analysis of the inteviews with cancer patients, which I re-recorded into my notebook, and then through a quantification - counting a frequency of topics. Cancer patients were representated by a 20-member sample from the cancer ward in the Hospital of České Budějovice. The research brought very interesting results. I named topics, which the patients with the volunteer like to talk about, and topics, which the patients bring to the conversation themselves and I counted their frequency. As well there were described the topics, which evokate a deterioration or an improvement in their mood. I figured out the frequency of the topics. Then I found out that I cannot identify communication blocks, because I did not met any. The results showed that the cancer patients have no problems to speak on the topic, which is in today´s society largely still a taboo - on their illness. The patients prove to entrust even to the volunteer - thus to a person, who is foreign to them.
