The specialized social consultancy in sphere of hearing like a implement of improvement in social function
ENTLICHEROVÁ, Ivana
In my thesis I explain the basic terms in the field of hearing impairment. One of my topics is what is for hearing impairment people specialist social consulting and social functioning. I divide hearing impairment people according to their loss of hearing. I describe and divide compensatory aids for this target group: communication barriers (hearing aid, personal amplifier, turned-up cell phones), then for information barriers (an induction loop, wireless headphones and headphones for radios and TVs) and in the end barriers deal with a contact with an external environment (signalling of a door bell, signalling of time or others actions). Due to wideness of this problem I am focused on the communication barrier which is the most important one from the point of view of social excluding. Other communication barriers follow this one. I deal with a qualitative research using the method of "coincidence selection" and a technique of a semi-controlled dialogue. The research was done in Poradenské centrum pro sluchově postižené v Táboře.

Emergency Call Service 112 and its Possibilities in Receiving Emergency Calls from Handicapped Citizens
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Kamila
This bachelor thesis deals with the possibilities of calls made by handicapped people (deaf, blind or physically handicapped) to emergency lines, including line 112. According to the European Parliament Directive 2002/22/ES of 7 March 2002 on universal service and users' rights relating to electronic communications networks and services, specifies that each citizen, whether healthy or handicapped has the right to call to emergency line 112 free of charge. This thesis involves a questionnaire based research. Sets of questions focused on handicapped citizens asked whether they had sufficient possibilities to call to emergency lines. The questionnaires were distributed to handicapped citizens in South Bohemia. The aim was to find out whether the efforts of the Fire Rescue Service in the field of reception of emergency calls from handicapped people were sufficient or not and whether these citizens are or will be interested in using the line in the future. The research has shown that handicapped people may communicate with the emergency lines by means of mobile phones like healthy people, provided their handicap does not prevent them from doing that. Blind and sand-blind people do not have problems with telephoning either, mostly from mobile telephones. They might only have a problem with specification of the event location. Deaf and hearing impaired people actually have problems with mobile phone communication, but the Fire Rescue Service of the South Bohemia Region enables them to send SMS, thanks to which they can receive assistance of the same quality as any healthy person in emergency situation occurrence. As for legislation, a new draft Fire Rescue Service Act, which contains the issues of emergency calls from handicapped people, is being consulted at present.

Problems in nurse care of delf birth women
KOTTOVÁ, Jiřina
Problems in nursing care of deaf women giving birth Thanks to opening the frontiers and migration of population, the structure of clients of Czech maternity hospitals has changed during the past fifteen years, and the hospitals have responded to this circumstance accordingly. We are able to create suitable conditions for women of various cultures and religious backgrounds. We should create unlimiting and friendly environment also for deaf women giving birth. I work in the Institute for Mother and Child Care, which became a center for deaf women giving birth in 2004. The main aim of this undergraduate thesis is to find out what are the major difficulties the nursing staff faces in care for deaf women giving birth. The theoretical part describes specific features of care for deaf women giving birth. Further chapters outline the anatomy of the auditory system, hearing impairments and their diagnostics and also deal with communication of deaf people and their identity. The objective of the thesis is to find out whether the nursing staff is able to communicate with deaf women, whether maternity hospitals can procure an interpreter and what are the problems deaf women and nursing staff face. As a hypothesis it was assumed that nursing staff does not have basic information on communication with deaf women giving birth, they are not acquainted with means of communication, that maternity hospitals can procure an interpreter for deaf women and that in health care the main problem for the nursing staff and the deaf women is communication. In order to achieve the research objective, quantitative survey was chosen in the form of a questionnaire for nursing staff in the Institute for Mother and Child Care, together with qualitative research, represented by four interviews with deaf women giving birth in the same place. Data were collected in February and March 2010. From the results of the survey it follows that nursing staff lacks basic information about communication with the deaf and is not acquainted with even the basics of the communication and the biggest problem in the nursing care for deaf women giving birth according to midwives, children{\crq}s nurses and the deaf women is communication. A conclusion was drawn from the results of the survey that the problem of communication with deaf women giving birth has to be addressed. One of the main recommendations is to improve informing the nursing staff about the world of the deaf, improving the attitude to the deaf and respecting their personalities. We do not have to know the sign language in order to communicate with the deaf, it is sufficient to be sensitive, kind and willing to understand.
