Attachment of mothers and their emotional regulation in communication with children
Klempířová, Kateřina ; Gillernová, Ilona (advisor) ; Takács, Lea (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis was to find out whether there is a connection between the ways of emotional regulation that mothers use in communication with their children and their attachment. The literature review section defines the basic concepts for this work, which are attachment, emotional regulation and their connectivity and the interaction of the mother with her child. In the research participated 288 respondents. The research is quantitative. The results and methods of data processing are described in the empirical part. The ECR-R16 Close Relationship Experience Questionnaire and the ERQ Emotional Regulation Questionnaire were mainly used for data collection. The question of mapping the frequency of experiencing emotions was inspired by part of the questionnaire by Zaouche-Gaudron et al. The findings show that statistically significant results were found for disorganized attachment. The connection has been shown in disorganized attachment and suppression as a way of regulating emotions. It has also been shown that this attachment style differs in the frequency of pride and sadness compared to other attachment styles. The results of the research open up the possibility of further research, especially in the area of disorganized attachment, for which statistically significant results have...

Hrdá, Kristýna ; Šporclová, Veronika (advisor) ; Takács, Lea (referee)
This thesis focuses on a pilot testing of the Brief Infant-Toddler Social Emotional Assessment (BITSEA), a questionnaire designed for screening of social-emotional and behavioural difficulties in children from one to three years of age. The aim of the theoretical part is to introduce the reader to the socio-emotional development of the child, as well as to some of the disorders related to this area. The literary section includes a description of screening and diagnostic methods focused on the socio-emotional area and the description of the BITSEA questionnaire. The research part focuses on the translation of the questionnaire and its pilot validation on the Czech population. The main goal of the work is to ascertain what is the internal consistency of the scales and whether the Czech translation of the questionnaire can distinguish between children with suspected difficulties and children with presumed normal development.

Nonpharmacological interventions for stress reduction during pregnancy and their effects on maternal bonding
Němcová, Hana ; Takács, Lea (advisor) ; Míková, Gabriela (referee)
The bachelor thesis addresses the relationship between stress in pregnancy, nonpharmacological interventions, which are possible to use for its reduction, and maternal bonding after birth. In the first chapter, the literature review describes particular types of stress, which can occur during pregnancy, mechanisms via which stress affects foetus, and impacts on both mother and child. The second chapter summarizes principles and effectivity of particular interventions for stress reduction during pregnancy, e.g. various forms of psychotherapy, yoga or mindfulness-based interventions. In the third chapter, the paper describes maternal bonding, its differentiation from the concept of attachment and its correlates. The fourth chapter concerns present scientific findings about the relationship of all these phenomena. In the empirical section, a research project draft is presented, aim of which is to discover the impact of Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting in pregnancy on the maternal bonding quality with a possible mediation of lowered level of perceived stress or reduce depressive symptomatology.

Parental burnout and validation of the Czech version of the Parental Burnout Assessment
Kročková, Nikola ; Urban, Kamila (advisor) ; Takács, Lea (referee)
Parental burnout is a new psychological concept. The theoretical part of the thesis describes an overview of research on parental burnout, including its prevalence, symptoms, mechanisms and factors of development, distinction of related concepts, consequences, and diagnostic options. The aim of the study carried out as a part of this thesis was validation of the Czech version of the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBACZ). The research sample consisted of 285 parents. The confirmatory factor analysis indicated poor fit of the theoretical four factor structure of original questionnaire (exhaustion, contrast, feelings of being fed up, emotional distancing) to the data. The reliability of PBACZ was excellent (α= .97). The PBACZ did not corelated with job burnout however it showed strong correlation with stress, anxiety, depression, and it predicted the level of the parental rejection. We can assume that the overall PBACZ scale gives a valid information about the level of parental burnout. Nevertheless, it cannot be evaluated on the level of the single subscales. The detected prevalence of parental burnout in Czech parents' sample was 12,6 %. Mothers, parents on maternity or paternity leave, mothers who perceive that they are taking more care for the child compared to their partners and parents who spend...

Psychosocial aspects of intrapartal and postpartal care
Takács, Lea ; Horáková Hoskovcová, Simona (advisor) ; Weiss, Petr (referee) ; Vavřinková, Blanka (referee)
Title: Psychosocial aspects of intrapartum and postpartum care Author: Mgr. Lea Takács Department: Department of Psychology Supervisor: PhDr. Simona Hoskovcová, Ph.D. Consultant: MUDr. PhDr. Pavel Čepický, CSc. Abstract Background: Satisfaction with perinatal care is largely a result of psychosocial aspects of the care provided. However, despite a considerable body of research, the concept of satisfaction with perinatal care is not sufficiently defined and understood, being often confused with other concepts, particularly with that of satisfaction with childbirth experience. The lack of knowledge concerns especially the psychosocial dimensions and determinants of the care, most importantly for different groups of women, and the level of importance of psychosocial factors for satisfaction compared to biomedical variables. Objective: The aim of the present dissertation is to contribute to the theory of satisfaction by investigating the psychosocial and biomedical factors that affect satisfaction with perinatal care and satisfaction with childbirth experience in different groups of women depending on the mode of delivery (vaginal delivery, emergency caesarean section or elective caesarean section). Method: Ordinal logistic regression was used to identify the key predictors of satisfaction. The data were...

The associations between childbirth experience, early mother-child contact and maternal bonding
Gregárková, Hana ; Takács, Lea (advisor) ; Weiss, Petr (referee)
The thesis is aimed at perinatal factors affecting the emotional bond between a mother and a child (boding) during the first weeks postpartum. The literature review is divided into three chapters. The first chapter discusses the childbirth, the experience of childbirth and the factors affecting a subjective evaluation of the childbirth by a parturient. The second chapter follows up with an overview of findings concerning the initial afterbirth moments, and the interaction between a mother and a child during early contact. The third chapter introduces the concept of bonding. It describes its manifestations, possible measuring methods, and factors influencing its quality. The research part analyzes perinatal factors affecting bonding on a sample of 1108 mothers with the use of generalized linear regression. The independent variables are: mode of birth, the evaluation of childbirth experience by mother, and the process of early contact between a mother and a child. The results show that bonding during the first weeks postpartum was not affected by the mode of birth or by the parturient's evaluation of the childbirth experience. A significant effect was found in the occurrence of early contact between a mother and a child; mothers who had contact with the child during the first postpartum hour reported...

Understanding of Own Emotions in Preschool Children and Possibilities of Its Development
Láchová, Markéta ; Čáp, David (advisor) ; Takács, Lea (referee)
The work deals with the understanding of own emotions in preschool children and the possibilities of its development. The literature review part presents the most well-known models of emotional intelligence and understanding of own emotions as its basic component. It also describes the developmental specifics of the preschool period with an emphasis on emotional development, and in particular the development of understanding of emotions. Factors that influence emotional development and ways in which emotional intelligence and specifically understanding of emotions can be developed are presented. The aim of the research part is to investigate, through a qualitative study design, how the expression of understanding of one's own emotions in preschool children changes after the intervention, in which the publication Emušáci: Ferda a jeho mouchy by Michaela Dostálová, Sylvia Jančiová and Helena Vlčková is used. The data are collected through individual structured interviews and processed by thematic analysis. The results describe how preschool children express their understanding of their own emotions and what changes occur in this respect after the implementation of the chosen form of intervention. Keywords Understanding emotions, preschool children, emotional intelligence, qualitative research, Emušáci

Post-traumatic stress disorder related to the childbirth: risk factors and diagnostics
Ženíšková, Karolína ; Takács, Lea (advisor) ; Niederlová, Markéta (referee)
About 4 % women in general population and up to 19 % women in at-risk population suffer from PTSD related to childbirth. The main risk factors for postpartum PTSD are negative birth experience and obstetric emergencies. However, the findings about risk factors and prevalence rates vary across studies, which is mainly due to the inconsistency in the diagnostics of postpartum PTSD. Researchers use various PTSD measures that differ in the number and type of symptoms monitored and many of these measures do not cover all DSM criteria for PTSD. Furthermore, the PTSD diagnostic criteria have been significantly modified in the new DSM-5 and the existing instruments need to be revised. The first part of the thesis presents the concept of PTSD related to childbirth. Special attention is paid to the risk factors identified in previous research and to the analysis of PTSD diagnostic and screening measures used in the postpartum context. The aim of the second part of the thesis is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the unpublished Childbirth-Related PTSD Questionnaire on a sample of 620 Czech women. The factor validity of the scale, the internal consistency of the total scale and the subscales resulting from the factor analysis; and the criterion validity of the instrument are verified. With regard to...
