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...

Attitudes toward childbirth in Czech women
Zámečník, Jakub ; Horáková Hoskovcová, Simona (advisor) ; Takács, Lea (referee)
Nowadays, women have a wide range of sources of information about childbirth. Women's attitudes toward childbirth are made by sharing experiences between women and in families but also they are based on informations from media and internet. Consequently attitudes toward childbirth influence the choice of kind of delivery and women's childbirth experience. These days we can see some trends in obstetrics - the rising interest in natural births, on the one hand, and the rising number of women delivering their babies by cesarean section on the other hand. The goal of this socio-psychologically oriented thesis is to map women's attitudes to these most striking birth trends, and also to identify the reasons for these women's attitudes. The research part is thus focused qualitatively and uses the data from the analysis of the internet discussion forums for mothers. In the previous theoretical part are presented the key information necessary to understand the studied topic, such as the issues of attitudes, the specifics of the communication on the internet discussion forums and above all the current scientific knowledge about the attitudes of women to childbirth in the Czech Republic and the world. Key words Attitudes of women, natural childbirth, assisted childbirth, homebirth, caesarean section, internet...

Possibilities of using Interpretative phenomenological analysis in psychological research
Plachý, Jakub ; Takács, Lea (advisor) ; Stehlík, Luděk (referee)
Potential for Applying Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to Psychological Research Abstract: This bachelor's thesis deals with Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) and the potential for applying it to psychological research. The aim of this work is to describe the theoretical frame and philosophical foundation of this method, which is explicitly related to phenomenology. The thesis is based on the original book of Jonathan Smith, the founder of IPA, and also on writings of Edmund Husserl, the founder of phenomenology. It explicates some usage of phenomenological concepts such as transcendental reduction in the frame of IPA, and it analyses differences in meaning of these concepts in the frame of IPA and the frame of Husserl's system, i.e. transcendental phenomenology (₮F). It helps to clarify the degree to which IPA can be considered "phenomenological" in the real sense of the word. IPA is briefly compared with those methods and a detailed comparison is made with the Descriptive phenomenological-psychological method (DFPM). The work offers a review of psychological IPA research and fields for which the method can adequately be used. There is also the author's own presentation of ongoing IPA research about death in the empirical section. Key words: IPA, Edmund Husserl, phenomenology,...

Phenomenological theory of perception in Edmund Husserl's work
Kutil, Lukáš ; Takács, Lea (advisor) ; Heller, Daniel (referee)
The literary-summary section presents phenomenological analyses of perception in Edmund Husserl's work, with special emphasis on Husserl's most important works on the topic of perception, namely the Fifth logical investigation, Ideas pertaining to a pure phenomenology and phenomenological philosophy I and the lectures on Thing and space. At the beggining, the basic principles of Husserl's phenomenological method are explained, for those are fundamentally determinative for the understanding Husserl's approach to perception. Husserl's view of the process of constitution of material nature is clarified in terms of reflexion, phenomenological epoché and reduction, trancendental consciousness and eidetic reduction. The very analyses of perception are then presented within the framework of Husserl's "static" idea of phenomenology, referring to structural analyses of consciousness, while the "genetic- phenomenological" context of perception is intentionally sidelined, becoming thematic later in the text soley for the purpose of explanation of Husserl's idea of the temporal dimension of perception. In the empirical section of this thesis a cognitive-psychological research is proposed, where the synthetic proces of identification, as described by Husserl, is studied in an experimental situation. Keywords:...
