Determining the Quality of Social and Work Involvement of Individuals with Cerebral Palsy in the Majority Society
KALKUŠOVÁ, Barbora
The main aim of the bachelor thesis was to find out how individuals with cerebral palsy manage to cope in the work or relationship field. In order to achieve the main goal, it was necessary to set secondary goals as well. That is, to determine if individuals with cerebral palsy encounter prejudice in the workplace, both from their employer and co-workers. Another secondary objective was to find out what social impact cerebral palsy has on the everyday life of these individuals. The last secondary objective was to find out the differences in obtaining employment opportunities for these persons, in relation to high school or university education. To carry out the practical part of the thesis, a qualitative research strategy, a questionnaire method and a semi-structured interview technique were chosen. The research has shown that people with cerebral palsy manage to cope relatively well in both the work and relational spheres; however, the path to fulfilling these needs is often more challenging, more lengthy, and full of obstacles that the majority society does not face. It has been shown that in the relational area, especially adolescents, unlike healthy individuals, have to forgive or wait for a longer period of time, which often leads to frustration and sometimes even deprivation. At work, individuals with cerebral palsy often face prejudice from colleagues and superiors, especially in the first few months of starting a new job. Their colleagues often do not initially understand the specific needs of people with cerebral palsy. However, it has been shown that this situation usually improves with time. Thus, the objectives of the work were met, and the work also opened up new topics. Thus, it offers an unconventional range of topics that are often neglected, passed over, or rather a social taboo for the majority society.

Coordinated rehabilitation in a child with cerebral palsy
HOLIČOVÁ, Martina
The aim of the submitted diploma thesis was to describe the influence of coordinated rehabilitation on the overall development and health status of a child with cerebral palsy. The partial goal was to find out to what extent the intervention, through coordinated rehabilitation, affected the life of the child and his family. The work is divided into two parts. The theoretical part deals with the current state of affairs, mentions the associated diseases accompanying this disease, characterizes the various components of the system of coordinated rehabilitation and informs the reader about the possibilities of using various methods and treatments that allow children with cerebral palsy and their families to improve life with this healthdisadvantage. It acquaints the reader with an outline of the psychological impact of changes in health status on the personality of a child with cerebral palsy and explains their impact on the quality of life of the whole family. The practical part acquaints the reader with the course of research and its results. Through my own research, I tried to verify the knowledge that I gained by studying the literature in the processing of the theoretical part of the thesis. I obtained data with the help of methods and techniques of qualitative research. Through a semi-structured interview conducted with the informant's parents and with himself, I helped readers to look into the life of a family with a child with cerebral palsy, to present their daily joys, problems and pitfalls they face. In many places, I also inserted analytical excerpts from the medical documentation into the text of the practical part to show the severity of the disease, findings from my own observations and work as a therapist. Based on this knowledge, I created a case report of the user. With the done research I had a chance to make sure how important a fluent continuity of particular parts of a coordinated rehabilitation for a patient is, that it is necessary for minimalizing consequences of a disability and for improving life of these individuals and their families. I reached an opinion that despite the best care of all specialists, we can not forget the limits which a certain individual has and that everything does not have to develop in the way we would expect it to. During the research I also found out that it is often very problematic to assemble a team of 5 specialists that is willing to cooperate effectively. However if this research could contribute to a better understanding of a specific problematics of a disease and reach a better quality care of children with cerebral palsy and their families, this research would meet its purpose. I believe that this diploma thesis can serve not only experts, but also students to better orient themselves in such a broad field as coordinated rehabilitation really is.
