How a familys lifestyle changes after one of its members acquires a neurological disability.
BÖHMOVÁ, Michaela
The diploma thesis focuses on lived experience of parents that have a child with a serious illness and acquired disability. Using the phenomenological interpretive analysis, I pointed out the impact of the child's illness not only on the lifestyle of the family, but also on its own change along with a view on quality of life. I will also describe the journey of several mothers from the diagnosis through the necessary and life-threatening adequate treatment to the return to normal life. Despite the very demanding care of a sick child, all respondents had to go through a period of reconciliation and settlement with the child's diagnosis over time.

Císařová, Ivana ; Svěcená, Kateřina (advisor) ; Kulhánek, Adam (referee)
Background: In the Czech Republic and abroad, there is very little research regarding addiction-related issues of physically disabled people, although there are many risk factors that may contribute to the development of substance use problems in this group. Substance use also often plays a role in the aetiology of the disability itself. Objective: The main aim of this paper was to map out and analyze the use of legal and illegal substances and addictive behaviour in a specific group of people with acquired physical disabilities. Methods: The research was conceptualized using a quantitative method and data was collected through an online questionnaire survey. Further, the data was processed and analysed using Microsoft Excel and TIBCO Statistica 13. The research sample consisted of 102 individuals with acquired physical disabilities whose average age was 39,8 years. Results: The results show that, according to the AUDIT questionnaire, 88,2 % of individuals in the group of people with an acquired physical disability abstain or consume alcohol at low risk. Respondents who had a positive prognosis for their disability had significantly lower AUDIT scores than respondents without a positive prognosis.

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.
