Development of tactile perception in blind children of preschool age
Vacková, Adéla ; Šumníková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Bertlová, Barbora (referee)
The bachelor's thesis addresses the topic of developing tactile perception in preschool-aged children who are visually impaired. Tactile perception is a key factor for individuals with visual impairments, especially for those who are blind, as it facilitates a more manageable and meaningful life. People with visual impairments rely on tactile perception (as well as other sensory perceptions). These individuals focus primarily on individual details, which they gradually connect to form an overall picture of a given object. The thesis includes basic theories on visual impairment, tactile perception, and typhlography. The subsequent sections focus on the development of tactile perception, stimulation, thinking, creativity, and imagination in preschool-aged children with visual impairments, as well as the importance of developing tactile perception in these children. The research was conducted using qualitative methods, with data collected through semi-structured interviews and observations. The study involved children with visual impairments and their educators from the Jaroslav Ježek Kindergarten. For comparison, interviews and observations were also conducted with children without visual impairments. The research mainly focused on the development of tactile perception in children with visual...

Nurse management of patients with visual impairment during admission and hospitalization
PRÁŠILOVÁ, Renáta
The present thesis focuses on managing the work of nurses caring for patients with visual impairment. Visually challenged patients constitute a particular group of patients with needs and demands different from those of sighted patients due to their visual impairment. The research aimed to investigate the experiences and knowledge of nurses providing care to patients with visual impairment and to identify the most frequent challenges and barriers that arise when delivering care. The empirical part of the thesis used qualitative research methods. Data was gathered using semi-structured interviews. Even though the research results cannot be generalised as they are specific to the research population, they revealed many very serious difficulties that nurses and patients have to deal with daily. The research also highlighted the underlying causes of these difficulties. Nurses have limited experience in treating patients with visual impairment. The lack of training programmes for this specific group of patients means that nurses do not know how to approach and communicate with them appropriately. The results of the present thesis may inspire the management of healthcare providers responsible for providing a safe environment for patients with visual impairments. The research results indicate a general deficiency in training programmes focusing on the care of the visually impaired.

Specifics of motor development of children with visual impairment of preschool age
BOLVÁRI, Eliška
The bachelor thesis deals with specifics of motor skills development of preschool children with visual impairment. The theoretical part describes the issues of visual impairment with a focus on the diagnoses that can occur in the children research group. Further discusses the options, how the children with a visual disability can be educated in preschool age. Subsequently, attention is focused on the specifics of development, first on cognitive domain, then on the motor domain. At the end of theoretical part is described the diagnostics of motor skills, especially MABC-2 tests, which is further used in practical part. Main goal of practical part of bachelor thesis was to create, provide and evaluate the effectivity of short intervetion programme for children with visual impairment, that also have weakened motor skills. Programme was compiled individualy, based on case study and input data from MABC-2 test for each children. Evaluation effectiveness of intervention programme was at the end verified by output results from same MABC-2 tests. Although the intervetion programme was assembled and based on individual needs, it´s possible to use it or to be inspired by it for further work with visualy impaired children. On the basis of results, when we´re designing a programme, it´s advisable to set a smaller number of development objectives and to profile more the programme to one part of motor development. At the same time it is important to focus on motivation of children and eventually adapt the programme to the child´s interests. These steps can play a big role in the effectiveness of programme.

The specifics of a family with a child with visual impairment
STOKLASOVÁ, Tereza
The topic of the bachelor thesis is focused on the specifics of a family with a child with visual impairment. The aim of the thesis is to elaborate current knowledge on the defined topic based on narrowly specified theoretical background and to elaborate a retrospective case study on the basis of this knowledge. The thesis is divided into two main parts. The theoretical and practical part. In the first part, the theoretical basis of the given issue is elaborated into 2 chapters. The first chapter deals with the definition, function and resilience of the family. It then focuses on parenting, sibling relationships and describes the process of coping of the family with a child with disabilities. Current support for families with a child with a visual impairment is also mentioned. The second chapter specifically covers visual impairment, where its classification is included and the specifics of congenital and acquired visual impairment continue to be covered. The practical part of the bachelor thesis includes qualitative research. Specifically, a retrospective family case study design. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation and document analysis. The specifics of a family with a child with visual impairment cut across all stages and areas of life, the research investigation shows. They interfere with family and partner relationships, the overall development of the child with a visual impairment, his education, leisure activities and integration into working life. All these areas are intertwined in the emotional and psychological aspects not only of the child with a visual impairment but also of all family members.

Bytový interiér pro nevidomé
Martineková, Daniela
This thesis is divided into two parts. The first, theoretical part deals mainly with the research on the levels of visual impairment and orientation of the blind in space. In the next chapters of the theoretical part, we learn about the different compensatory aids they can use in their everyday life and the requirements for the interior and its furnishing elements. In the second, practical part, the thesis focuses on my suggestions for limiting the selected collision points. These suggestions are then assessed by a blind person, Mr. Josef Konečný. This is followed by an evaluation of the functionality and feasibility of the selected proposals with a final discussion and contribution to practice.

Acceptance of visual impairment in the productive age
Havlíčková, Adéla ; Květoňová, Lea (advisor) ; Šumníková, Pavlína (referee)
The bachelor thesis consists of a theoretical and a research part. It deals with the acceptance of visual impairment in the working age, specifically looking at acquired visual impairment. The theoretical part defines congenital and acquired visual impairment, then includes the most common causes of visual impairment, its consequences and the associated psychological changes, then describes the possibilities of successful acceptance in the form of a foreign study, and finally deals with the possibilities of social rehabilitation and its forms. The aim of the research is to describe how people reflect on their process of acceptance of sight loss and what areas have influenced this acceptance and what the differences are between male and female experiences in relation to their personality traits. Using qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews with three respondents, it became clear that the most significant change for respondents was a change in mindset and motivation to cope with the crisis situation. Furthermore, monitoring one's own progress towards self-sufficiency and the support of those around them proved to have a great influence on the acceptance process. Professional support and help also played a significant role. Furthermore, it was possible to observe differences in...
