Šťastná, Klára ; Hradilová, Iva (advisor) ; Rybářová, Kateřina (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on consequences caused by the inappropriate transfer of a paraplegic from the viewpoint of occupational therapy. The work is focused on the pain of the shoulder girdle, mainly due to overloading during repeated everyday transfers of paraplegics. The theoretical part summarises the findings of the SCI and the spinal cord program. It also provides a description of the strategies of some transfers, together with their evaluation and inappropriate implementation. The theoretical part is widely devoted to the assessment of painful upper limbs and the consequences of an inappropriate transfer such as pain, impingement syndrome or a lost of self-sufficiency. The practical part is based on quantitative research and works with the research question: "What are the main factors influencing the pain in the shoulder of some paraplegics?". The aim of this study is to find whether transfers are one of the major causes of the pain in the shoulder. The other aim is to translate the assessment toll for the painful shoulder and to use it in achieving the first aim. The document required for this is called "The Wheelchair User's Shoulder Pain Index" and has not yet been translated into the Czech language. In order to avoid misunderstanding or the loss of any relevant cultural and...

Rybářová, Kateřina ; Komárková, Tereza (advisor) ; Sedláčková, Daniela (referee)
The objective of this thesis "Anxiety And Fear At School" is to further reasearch how and when teachers feel ready and able to recognize an anxious child at school and as well to be able to work with a child whose anxiety may be caused by a specific situation at school. The thesis researches school as a potential source of anxiety and fear and describes specific situations which may cause or contribute to this phenomenon. In addition, a current issue which is outlined in the text is pedagogical-psychological diagnostics and related diagnostic competence of teachers. Theoretical findings are supported by research conducted amongst teachers. Two case studies of students which have experienced fear and anxiety at school, connected to specific school situations are provided. These case studies observe the solutions in those situations, as well as the impact of the experience on the students in question. The education of teachers at universities in the field of pedagogical-psychological diagnosis can in certain cases be insufficient and sometimes can also be difficult to apply in real life situations. This can lead to some situations of an anxious child at school being dealt with intuitively rather than professionally. The availability of electronic information can provide untrained teachers with a...
