Skalická, Adéla ; Hájková, Vanda (advisor) ; Mužáková, Monika (referee)
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the quality of the partner relationship of parents who have a child with a physical or combined disability. The goal of the work is to describe the quality of their relationship, what difficulties parents face in everyday life, and what factors help them strengthen the relationship. Quantitative research was used to achieve these goals, namely the questionnaire method with closed, semi-open and open questions. The questionnaire was used to collect data from parents of children with physical or combined disabilities and their partners. The summary of the results indicates that a child with a physical or combined disability can have a significant effect on the partner relationship of the parents. However, it is not possible to say unequivocally whether this influence has a positive or negative effect. This complicated life situation ends some relationships forever, while others, on the contrary, strengthen and create an unbreakable bond between partners. The results show that diverse families with children with disabilities have many specific and unique concerns. However, it turns out that some difficulties are very similar. This bachelor's thesis provides a comprehensive view of the quality of the partner relationship of parents of children with physical or combined...
