Model of psychological crisis of people with post natal health disabilities
JAŠKOVÁ, Kristýna
Acquired disability is a widely discussed topic nowadays. It must be mentioned that an individual suffering from an acquired disability copes individually with their dificult situation, reacts individually based on their experience, temperament, and thus it is necessary to treat these individuals accordingly. They go through certain phasesof coping with a difficult life situation , and this thesis explains them briefly interpreting different authors. Models are based on the basic model of coping with a difficult situation according to Kübler Ross who primarily focused on dying people and their coping with close death. This model was later on generalized to also include people coping with any burdensome situation in their life. This thesis deals specifically with acquired disability. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to find out how individuals coped with an acquired disability, and to find out whether during this process of coping with a burdensome situation used expert or lay aid. To fulfill the aims, qualitative research was used. To collect data, a semi-standardized interview with four interviewees suffering from different types of acquired disability was used. Interviews were carried out in the individuals´ natural environment. Research results have proven that each individual is an individual being, thus each coped differently, and based on different experience and abilities, with their disabilities. It was also found out that each person did not go through all the stages of a mental crisis model. The research file in this bachelor thesis is very different and variable considering disabilities and other features, that is why it is impossible to draw one final and very clear conclusion. Different stages of mental crisis model that they were going through were indicated in each individual. Each participant used certain aid in crisis. All interviewees used lay aid, i.e. aid from their closest. Two of them used expert aid. The results of my bachelor thesis might serve to deepen information for psychology students, students of nursing or social work subjects. Further, it might be useful for workers in organizations focusing on disabilities or close friends or families of disabled individuals.
