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.
