Connections of Posttraumatic Stress and Growth in Childhood Cancer Survivors and Their Parents
Koutná, Veronika ; Blatný, Marek ; Jelínek, Martin ; Vobořil, Dalibor
Posttraumatic stress (PTS) and growth (PTG) have been described in both childhood cancer survivors and their parents. This study aims to analyse the parent-child connections in self- reported PTS and PTG as well as the concordance of child self-reported and parent proxy- reported PTG. The sample included 142 parent-child dyads. Both survivors and parents self- reported PTS and PTG. Parents also proxy-reported PTG in their child. Correlations were performed between self-reported measures of PTS and PTG as well as parent proxy-report of PTG in the child. Parent proxy-reports of PTG in their child are more strongly related to parental own PTG than to PTG self-reported by the child. Parental PTS and PTG are correlated, but in survivors, PTS and PTG are not related. Parent proxy-reports of PTG in their child may reflect their own PTG rather than PTG of their child. The relationship between PTG and PTS in the context of childhood cancer differs depending on the reporter (parent/child).

Relationship of Posttraumatic Stress and Growth with Quality of Life in Childhood Cancer Survivors
Koutná, Veronika ; Blatný, Marek ; Jelínek, Martin ; Vobořil, Dalibor
Childhood cancer is an event with the potential for both posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and posttraumatic growth (PTG). While full PTSD is rare in childhood cancer survivors, PTG is common in this population. The relationship between posttraumatic stress (PTS) and PTG has not yet been clearly established, and the relationship between PTG and quality of life (QOL) is unclear. In a group of 188 childhood cancer survivors, we used correlation analysis to determine the relationship of PTS/PTG with specific dimensions of QOL. In the younger group (up to 12 years), the QOL correlated only with PTS, the connection with PTG was not proven. In the older group (from 13 years), QOL correlated with PTS and PTG, but correlations were stronger for PTS. The relationship between PTS and QOL was negative in both groups, the relationships between PTG and QOL in the older group was weakly positive. The relationship of PTG and successful adaptation and good QOL remains questionable.

Background and relations at asylum centra
Vanišová, Anna ; Jelínek, Martin (advisor) ; Duba, Pavel (referee)
I tried to investigate the causes of conflicts that originated in a multicultural environment of asylum centres in the Czech Republic and I intended to find solutions that would prevent conflicts in the future. With the help of questionnaires and talking to and observing asylum seekers and social workers, I observed that the perception of conflicts and especially the perception of the motives for conflicts differ among participants. It is important to face each conflict as a unique situation and to consider the background of asylum seekers as well while solving tense situation. Some of the asylum seekers suggested solutions in their questionnaires that deserve further consideration. First, the refugees desire more interest and intervention of social workers in disputes among asylum seekers. Further, they would welcome informal meetings with opportunities to discuss the problems arising in asylum camps. It would also be an occasion to get to know other asylum seekers living in the same asylum camp. The survey further showed that the asylum seekers were disappointed with the poor language offerings at asylum centres. They would appreciate more opportunities to learn Czech and English to communicate with other refugees who speak different languages. The possibility to communicate with others would avoid...
