Communication Possibilities of Children with Infantile Cerebral Palsy
Zikmundová, Klára ; Saicová Římalová, Lucie (advisor) ; Hudáková, Andrea (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to attempt to summarize what communication possibilities children suffering from a serious form of infantile cerebral palsy have, to describe them and possibly to clarify what exactly restricts these possibilities. The thesis also tries to answer the question in what way the communication of these individuals differs from the communication of intact persons. The core of the thesis resides in a theoretical exposition which deals - among others - with the communication process and its verbal and non-verbal parts, the diagnostic characterization of the infantile cerebral palsy and the impaired communication ability in symptomatic speech disorders which are associated with this disability. It describes how especially mobility impairment and mental retardation are reflected in the way and possibilities of communication. Special attention is paid to methods of alternative and augmentative communication which can be used as a therapy in the stimulation of the development of communication and speech skills, and which very often represent one of few possible ways of communicating for persons with this disability. The theoretical part is accompanied by video recordings showing communication of four girls suffering from infantile cerebral palsy. As manifestations of this diagnosis...

Influence of Interaction with People Suffering from Combined Form of Disability on Attitudes of the Students of Upper Primary School Aimed at Promoting Inclusion.
PRÁŠKOVÁ, Anna
The thesis deals with the issue of inclusion of people with disability into everyday life and the perception of these people by healthy pupils. The main aim of the thesis was to explore the impacts on attitudes of the pupils of middle school age towards people with the combined form of disabilities and the changes caused by the direct interaction between them and. The text is divided into two parts theoretical and practical. The theoretical part focuses on the phenomenon of otherness and its perception by pupils in the adolescence. The largest part is devoted to the integration and inclusion of people with disability into the mainstream education. The research part contains a qualitative research strategy, where the methods of questioning techniques and semi-structured interview were used. Data were analysed by the cluster method. The research group consisted of 20 pupils of class 7. A from one of the primary schools in the Vysočina region, who had personally met individuals with disabilities. The task of the research was to find a solution to following question: What effects do the inclusion supporting primary school activities, allowing personal contact with a person with the combined disabilities, have on the attitude of pupils of middle school towards this group of people? The research results show that personal meetings greatly influence the attitudes of the pupils towards the people with various disabilities. Mutual interaction leads to understanding and students begin to perceive them as normal people with the rights and skills to live as well as those without disabilities. All informants agreed that inclusion supporting activities ended up as a very good experience for them. They are no longer afraid of the future meetings with this group of people, they know what to expect and how to communicate with them. Inclusive education is currently a hot topic however it is necessary to explore this issue even more, in order to smooth the inclusion of individuals with disabilities among healthy populations. I personally consider it very important, in order to change the attitudes of the general public to people with disabilities. Achieving this goal is possible, as it is evident from the research of the thesis, by using inclusion supporting activities organized at the primary schools.

Physiotherapy in the patients with combined handicap - physical and mental
ČEKALOVÁ, Renata
My bachelor´s work deals with possible applications of physiotherapy for patients with combined disabilities physical and mental. The number of people with combined disabilities is growing despite improving medical care and more advanced technologies used. Most cases are incurable illnesses where a timely diagnosis and following early rehabilitation, which can significantly mitigate the consequences, are the most important factors. The theoretical part focuses on the characteristics, diagnostics, etiology and classification of the physical and mental disability and on the comparison of particular literary sources. The next part was dedicated to various possibilities of therapy for people with combined disabilities. The therapy does not mean only therapeutic rehabilitation. The social, pedagogical and work rehabilitations play an important part, too. The goal of the complete rehabilitation is achievement of as much self-sufficiency as possible, active life integration or adoption of the handicap. It is a process which helps disabled people to develop or strengthen their physical, mental and social skills. As for people with acquired disability we try to retrieve as many former abilities as possible. On the other hand people with a congenital disability are treated to keep ordinary development. The practical part writes up three casuistries in which I set a target, a description of the methodology and characteristics of the research sample. While meeting the first client the anamnesis and the entrance kinesiology examination were done. The front, from behind and side physical exams were included, together with the palpation examination, the examination of shortened muscles, motion stereotypes, examination of standing on one leg or walking. Next, I examined the distances in the spine and did a special examination focused on the deep spine stabilization. Thereof three tests according to Kolář were chosen the midriff test, the extention test and the body flection test. The therapy took 10 weeks at the Diagnostic welfare institute (since 01/01/2015 renamed - Kopretina home). The goal of the work was to chart the physiotherapy at selected clients with combined disability and then to suggest and perform a short-time therapeutic plan. Next I compared the states at the beginning and at the end of the research regarding the influence on the quality of their lives. The therapy was finished with an output kinesiology examination and with interviews with individual clients to get to know their subjective therapy assessment.

Special aspects of nursing care of clients in the Nursing home for disabled people in Zběšičky
LHOTECKÁ, Markéta
In the Nursing home for disabled people in Zběšičky nursing care for persons with combined disabilities who need specific nursing care is provided. Nursing activities are focused on meeting the clients´ needs. The mission of the Nursing home is to create another home for the disabled and make the disabled clients´ lives similar to those of healthy people. The main effort of the nursing staff in the Nursing home is to make clients self-sufficient in daily routine - with respect to their individual abilities. The aim of the research is to determine the level of nursing care in the Nursing home and to analyse the care provided to the clients. Using the results of the research we can point out the possible inadequacies in nursing care so that the quality of nursing could be improved. The research was conducted by the quantitative method. The techniques used in the research were observation, interview and analysis of documents. During the observation the main attention was focused on meeting the clients´ needs. Relevant medical records were analysed. The research database 1 was composed of four Nursing home clients with combined disabilities, who were chosen randomly. Semi-standardized interviews were conducted with all the nurses of the Nursing home (seven nurses) who formed the research database 2. The results of the research and the medical records analysis show that clients´ needs are met to the extent limited by the clients´ condition. If the needs are met only partially it is caused by the client´s serious disability the nurses try to compensate. During the observation special aspects of nursing care were determined: these are especially meeting the clients´ needs concerning activity and rest. Nurses take part in physiotherapeutic and activating exercises. Another special aspect of nursing is basal stimulation which significantly improves meeting needs in communication, perception and cognition. In meeting the needs concerning hygiene, excretion and nutrition the care is similar to that in immobile clients in other health care facilities. Nursing staff members were interviewed to find the level of adherence to the health and social standards set for nursing homes for disabled clients. The care provided in the Nursing home is community care and the standards correspond to the principles of thit type of care. These principles are: complexity, respecting human rights, health recovery in society, continuous education and standardization of the process. On the basis of the research a following hypothesis was stated: the nursing care provided to clients with combined disabilities corresponds to health and social standards applied in the Nursing home for disabled people in Zběšičky. Some inadequacies were found in abiding by the principle of complexity. There is a lack of medical diagnostics in the nursing process. The objectives of the thesis were accomplished. The results obtained by the research will be provided to the Nursing home for disabled people in Zběšičky and can be used to improve the nursing care. It is advisable to organize a seminar on the nursing process for the nursing staff in the Nursing home.
