The diploma thesis "Spiritual support in the context of the Czech post-modern society" presents spiritual support as seen in the context of selected practices of the Czech Roman- Catholic Church. The thesis puts this view into the context of theoretical findings in the field of spiritual support and defines the main characteristics of the field, pointing out the debatable points or diverse approaches to it. The part dedicated to the Czech post-modern society describes the state of the contemporary Czech non/religiousness, explores its causes, and points out the opportunities of extending the offer of Christian spiritual support also to people outside the religious environment.

Adotamos a metodologia qualitativa, entrevistando, com roteiro semi-estruturado, seis pacientes. Os dados obtidos e submetidos a análise de conteúdo possibilitaram identificar cinco eixos temáticos: da doação de órgãos ao órgão doado; as mudanças na vida; o suporte social, a finitude humana e a religiosidade. O estudo evidenciou que o transplante cardíaco foca a atenção do paciente na condição de estar vivo. A vida, propriamente dita, dá sentido ao seu cotidiano, as suas experiências e vivências. A necessidade de suportes para operacionalizar as aspirações dos pacientes, configurou-se como imprescindível. O suporte social viabiliza a sobrevivência, suprindo necessidades básicas materiais e afetivas. A possibilidade de manterem-se vivos está atrelada ao acesso imediato a um sistema de saúde. O suporte espiritual, caracterizado como energia vital, confere aos pacientes, o sentido da transcendência de uma vida de privações para uma vida divina e até mesmo eterna. A compreensão das pessoas deve ser a essência das ações na área da saúde. Esperamos que, este estudo contribua com os programas assistenciais e de educação em transplantes cardíacos, construídos a partir da ótica dos pacientes, tornando a aderência ao tratamento mais eficaz. / This study intended to understand, by the social representations of heart transplantation, what was the social impact it had on the everyday life of patients submitted to this therapeutic approach at the Instituto do Coração of Hospital das Clínicas of Faculdade de Medicina of Universidade de São Paulo. We adopted a qualitative methodology and interviewed six patients following a semi-structured script. The data collected and submitted to content analysis led to the identification of five key thematic issues: from organ donation to donated organ; changes in life; social support, human finitude and religiousness. The study evidenced that in heart transplantation the patients' focus of attention is at being alive. Life, per se, gives meaning to their everyday activities and experiences. The need to have support in coping with patients' aspirations proved to be indispensable. Social support enables survival, providing for material and affective basic needs. The possibility of staying alive is connected to immediate access to health care. Spiritual support, characterized as vital energy, conveys to patients the sense of transcendence, from a life of deprivation to a divine and even eternal life. People's understanding should be the core of healthcare actions. We sincerely hope that this study can contribute to other healthcare and educational programs in heart transplantation, building things from the patients' perspective and promoting greater treatment compliance.

The thesis deals with the description of the psychological and spiritual support for the members of the police force. Its basis is the definition of the police force as the service to the public while the policeman is perceived as both the representative of the state force and the human being. In the part dealing with the professional ethics one points out to the usefulness of the ethical codex for a policeman as a possible inspiration for one's responsibility in the role of a policeman.Next, negative phenomena influencing a policeman are described, such as stress, a traumatic event,crisis,and a burn-out syndrom. The thesis considers the needs of the man linked to the needs of a policeman proper. Based on the information collected it then deals with the psychological and spiritual support. The psychological support in the police force has got a certain framework defined in the form of a crisis intervention, a psychological advisory service and a posttraumatic intervention care. A spiritual support has no specific concept defined. A priest has his role in posttraumatic intervention teams only. Based on the research carried out and on the literature available the possibility is outlined for the provision of not only psychological but also for the spiritual support.
