Possibilities of strengthening parental competencies of mothers using non-alcohol drugs
Motyčková-Pětrošová, Veronika ; Matoušek, Oldřich (advisor) ; Richterová-Těmínová, Martina (referee)
Tato práce se zabývá možnostmi posilování rodičovských kompetencí matek, které užívají nealkoholové drogy. Praktickou platformu tvoří rámec systému služeb o.s. Sananim. Téma matek, užívajících nealkoholové drogy, se v ČR ocitá ve středu pozornosti zhruba v posledním desetiletí, přičemž, díky nárůstu počtu klientek, jednoznačně nabývá stále na významu. Po první vlně porevolučního rozvoje služeb pro uživatele nealkoholových drog, a stabilizaci jejich systému, nastal nyní trend specializace na specifické cílové skupiny. Skupina těhotných žen a matek, které užívají nealkoholové drogy, je jednou z nich. Během počátečního období tvorby služeb pro tuto cílovou skupinu bylo úsilí věnováno především na realizaci adekvátní protidrogové péče. Užívání drog matkou však v sobě spojuje dva problémové okruhy - drogy a mateřství. Domnívám se, že v dlouhodobém měřítku jsou efektivní pouze intervence zaměřené do obou sfér. Proto nyní, když systém péče stabilně funguje, by, podle mého názoru, měl další krok směřovat na cílenou a systematickou podporu rodičovství klientek. Ačkoliv by se totiž mohlo zdát, že odpovídající služby pro matky s dětmi jsou v celospolečenském kontextu běžně poskytovány, opak je pravdou. Pro těhotné ženy a matky, užívajících nealkoholové drogy, je totiž běžná síť podporující a rozvíjející rodičovské...

Hunalová, Lucie ; Richterová-Těmínová, Martina (advisor) ; Kuda, Aleš (referee)
Background: Alcohol abuse among women on parental leave is a serious social problem. Scientific literature and research show motherhood is a risk factor for alcohol dependence.

To achieve this, the following research questions have been set: 1) Are there any characteristic activities, behaviours or experiences related to alcohol use that are repeated and have a ritual aspect? 2) What are the drinking rituals that occur amongst women on parental leave? 3) What do these rituals mean for the users? Methods: The data for the research aspect of the work was obtained using a qualitative approach.

The effective factors in addiction treatments within therapeutic communities from the perspective of clients
Kršková, Lucie ; Kuda, Aleš (advisor) ; Richterová-Těmínová, Martina (referee)
The goal of the thesis is to find out, which effective factors help clients in process of curing their addiction with the help of halfstructured conversations. What exactly helps them and what is useful and effective from their point of view. Bachelors thesis is based on qualitative approach. I obtained data from both communities by halfstructured conversations. The researched set was made up of clients from therapeutic community White Light I. and Magdaléna. All the clients were at least in the second phase of treatment. From the results comes clear that therapeutic structure, raise of self respect by self doing and improvement of relations with original family are the most effective factors by clients from both therapeutic communities. It's clear from the reflections of clients that influence of effective factors is significant for them not only in treatment but even in life beyond the safe space. The results show that clients from both therapeutic communities rate the treatment in therapeutic community as effective. Key words: addiction, addiction treatment, therapeutic community, effective factors

Substance using mothers and their motivation for treatment in the therapeutic community
Kotrla, Barbora ; Kalina, Kamil (advisor) ; Richterová-Těmínová, Martina (referee)
Purpose: While our modern society seems to have learnt how to accept and tolerate drug-addicted men, drug-addicted women on the other hand are even typically confronted with prejudice and contempt from the part of society. We should pay more attention to gender problematics despite the addiction background. We should map the motivation and circumstances that could on one side convince women to addiction treatment and on the other side prevent them from taking treatment and completing it. Goals: The first goal of this thesis was to map the circumstances and motivation that bring female clients - substance-using mothers with their children - to treatment in the therapeutic community. The second target was to find out which specific motivational determinants keep female clients in treatment. The third aim of this work was to find out which area of CMRS questionnaire is most involved in the motivation of clients. Research Methodology: Research data collection took place in July and August 2018 in one particular therapeutic community. A semi-structured interview was conducted with clients followed by two short CMRS and DAST questionnaires. Research Target Group: The target research group consisted of eight clients from the therapeutic community. All clients were mothers in the age of 24 - 35 years....
