The evaluation of the relationship and feelings of the mother - child in the first days after birth
CHOVANCOVÁ, Jana
This diploma thesis focuses on assessment of the mother - child relationship during the first three days after childbirth. The theoretical section discusses motherhood, pregnancy and the act of childbirth. From the postpartum standpoint, the mother's psyche and the psychology of the newborn are at the centre of our attention, along with issues related to providing support and ensuring the mother - child bonding processes takes place. Early communication between mother and child is described, as is the origin and development of bonding. To prepare the theoretical section of the thesis, available Czech and foreign sources on the topic were used. The thesis aims to map out how primiparas feel about their new social role as mother, and the nature of their relationship to their newborn in the first days after childbirth. To fulfil this objective, we employ a qualitative-quantitative methodology in the empirical section. Various research methods are used: individual semi-structured interviews, analyses and subsequent data analyses, the "think out loud" method (i.e., the regular verbalisation of one's own thinking process), and the MIRF scale. Ten mothers agreed to take part in the research; all of them in the period from one to three days after the birth of their first child. Based upon an analysis of the data, we determined that in terms of their feelings about motherhood and their relationship with their newborn, these research subjects may be divided into four major groups. The conclusions arrived at in the research were compared with those of Thorstensson et al. (2012), the study that inspired our efforts. Our experience with the interviews carried out with mothers shows that during the semi-structured interview during which they answered our questions these mothers were more focused on themselves, their feelings and issues. However, when they subsequently filled out the MIRF scale, the situation changed. The mothers shifted their focus to their children and their specific feelings towards them. Filling out the MIRF scale improved the mothers' understanding of the individual aspects of their relationship towards their children. The MIRF scale helped them to identify individual areas better. For this reason, we consider the use of the MIRF scale as beneficial from the standpoint of both mothers and the medical staff caring for them and their newborns in the first days after childbirth. The MIRF scale could be utilised practically as part of routine care for mothers and their children. It might improve the support mothers for interacting with their newborns and thereby effectively increase the mothers' sensitivity to their baby's behaviour.

Career Choices of Young Mothers
KOKEŠOVÁ, Lucie
The issue of young female´s career choices is associated with many dilemmas as well as problems, making work and childcare very hard to balance. Finding an ideal, family-worthy partner takes a long time and is not an easy task. When the responsibilities associated with taking care of the household and children begin, especially when the mother goes back to work after maternity or parental leave, many disagreements between the partners may appear. Going back to work after maternity or parental leave goes hand in hand with the uncertainty of finding a position that correlates with having children. In the Czech Republic, there is a discrimination of mothers being overlooked by the majority of people, so employers don´t make it easy for new mothers. Czech family policy offers a number of benefits that ease the situation of pregnancy, childbirth, motherhood and parenthood. They are primarily focused on the social and health needs of women. Other means of combining work and childcare can be flexible forms of employment, daycare facilities, or intergenerational solidarity, especially the traditional help from the grandparents. The practical part of this thesis contains qualitative research. Data were collected from semi-standardized interviews with eight communication partners using snowball sampling method. The sample therefore contained pregnant young women and mothers of children up to the age of nine. The interviews lasted several hours and took place at home of the communication partners in a friendly atmosphere. The goal of the research was to get to know the career choices of young women dealing with maternity, because they usually remain the primary caretakers. The main research question was how and why young new mothers decide between career and motherhood. According to the answer, additional research questioned were asked. They were divided into five main areas. Results were processed using coding method. The results show that the most important factor when deciding whether to have children is finding an ideal partner. Employer´s reaction to a pregnancy announcement usually wasn´t problematic for the communication partners. Going back to work or looking for a job after maternity or parental leave is directly related mainly to previous work experiences. Terms of the contract signed before the maternity or parental leave may give an assurance to some extent. The communication partners are familiar with the discrimination against women in the labor market, and they are of the opinion, that there´s nothing they can do about it. Women who will have to find a new job accept the need to lower their expectations and demands in the labor market, at least in the beginning of their maternity. Those more experienced with job search also lowered their expectations about the financial terms of employment and also had to accept worse positions. The most popular means of combining work and childcare among the communication partners are kindergarten/daycare centers, afterschool clubs and the help of their grandparents. Equal distribution of housework is also notable problem for the communication partners, especially right after their return to work. Let this thesis be beneficial to all young women deciding between career and motherhood. It should contribute to understanding of this dilemma and all the problems associated with it.
