Influence of the psychosomatic situation of mothers in pregnancy on the prenatal development of the child and condition of newborn after delivery
ŠIMEČKOVÁ, Alžběta
Pregnancy is a period full of changes. The perception of life values by the woman and her partner are varied, changes in the life style are encountered and their roles in the life are also altered. The pregnant woman feels that nothing will be like before. She is very sensitive and also easily vulnerable. Contrastingly to the routine prenatal care, prenatal psychology searches for answering questions what the feelings in the pregnancy are in terms of the psychosocial situation, and what the impacts of this course on the newborn condition after the delivery are. The scope of the work is aimed at the importance and forms of the prenatal attachment, course and its impact on the newborn. The targets of the Diploma Work entitled "Effects of the psychosomatic situation of pregnant women on the child prenatal development" are as follows: 1) to assess the pregnant woman psychosomatic situation, 2) to evaluate the influence of psychosomatic situation on prenatal development of child 3) to determine the measure of the pregnant woman (dis)comfort throughout three trimesters and 4) to evaluate the newborn condition after the delivery. Thirty pregnant women were addressed. Fifteen women reflected on the proposal and agreed with completing an anonymous standardized scale. The respondents were contacted within a period of February 2017 to February 2018. The research sample group included the women and their newborns. The choice was intentional. The women completed the Freybergh scale, which is focused on monitoring the psychosocial situation of pregnant women. It comprised 70 questions divided into seven categories. They were answered through the mediation of a compiled web reference at http://mail.scac.cz/mrIWeb/mrIWeb.dll?I.Project=V31_TEHOTENSTVI_PORIZOVANI. The statistically processed results indicated the measure of the deprivationof pregnant women in particular trimesters and condition of the newborn after the delivery based on the pregnancy experienced. The Atlas programme was employed for the qualitative research to develop an anchored statement. From the sample group of 15 women and their 405 answers, 2% of answers were recorded corresponding to an intermediate degree of deprivation. Every respondent suffered frommild deprivation. The results of the present study will find their applications particularly to branches of prenatal psychology and gynaecology. They will serve as pilot results for a CEP project planned.

The topic of prenatal psychology
ČEPČÁNYOVÁ, Magdalena
The focus of this thesis is the topic of prenatal psychology. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with prenatal development, which is described week per week. It then focuses on the basis of prenatal psychology, including the history of this field and leading figures who participated in its development. The next chapter deals with pregnancy and the impact it could have on the prenatal child. In this chapter I present the levels of communication between mother and child and their interaction. In the last chapter I mention the role of the midwife in prenatal psychology. I focus on the educational and counseling role of the midwife. The first part is concluded with primary prevention and its methods in prenatal psychology. The practical part of the thesis focuses on the communication between mother and prenatal child, and the changes in communication before and after birth. For the research I determined two goals. The first goal was to find out the difference between communication with a prenatal child and a child after birth from the mother's perspective. The second goal was to find out whether it is easier for women to communicate with the child before or after birth. Four research questions were defined based on the goals. For my research I chose a qualitative approach using the method of deep interviews. The research sample was composed of five women, who were interviewed once during pregnancy and once after birth. The research was conducted at the risk pregnancy ward and the puerperium ward of the České Budějovice hospital. Data from the research were processed using qualitative analysis. The research showed how mothers communicate with the prenatal child, and the main differences perceived between communication with the prenatal and postnatal child. I found out that women communicate with children mainly by physical contact as well as verbally, by talking to the child. The women said that it is easier for them to communicate with child after birth than in pregnancy. It was easier for them to recognize the feelings and needs of the child, which during pregnancy they could only guess. I asked the women about the methods they use to communicate with their prenatal child, and whether the child replies in some way to their communication. Women often quoted that they communicate by touching their belly and talking to the child. All the women stated that the child replies to their communication. Only one woman wasn't sure about the child's reactions and one woman said that it depends on the intensity of the impulses. As a reaction, women stated an increase of the child's movements and its higher intensity or on the other hand calming of the child. In context of movement, I wondered how women sense the movements, how they feel when the child is moving inside of them. The women described movement of the child as something wonderful. They felt joy and calmness the knowing that the child is safe. Sensitive and caring mother-child communication and their relationship are important for correct development of the child not only in the prenatal period, but also in later life. It is important for women and their families to realize that their behavior towards the child in the uterus will be reflected in the child?s behavior towards the world. Professor Fedor-Freybergh quotes that optimizing prenatal life could lead to better health and a contribution towards to civilized, friendly and peaceful living. The topic of prenatal psychology has recently become more often discussed. The attention of the public is starting to focus on prenatal psychology. In its conclusion, my thesis is recommended for use in seminars or lectures for the professional and general public. Another possibility is publication in a specialist journal. The thesis may also serve to students of midwifery or to midwives who would like to acquire new knowledge of prenatal psychology.

Communication with a prenatal individual and with child on first days after labour
PETROUŠOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor work has been realised as a research work and consists of two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with the description of antenatal period, the interaction between mother and child and psychologic antenatal findings where antenatal communication with an unborn child plays an important role. A cardinal part of the work depicts the role and psychosocial attitude of the midwives who take care of mother and unborn child. In addition, the importance of the first mother-child contact soon after delivery is highlighted. The practical part represents the research work. Two questionnaires were used to prove the initial hypotheses. Hypothesis 1: ``Close family members communicate with their unborn child during the pregnancy`` and hypothesis 2: ``Mother-child communication is enabled to start soon after the delivery`` have proved. Altogether 250 questionnaires were distributed, 140 of them to pregnant women and 110 to women after delivery. 229 questionnaires, 92 %, were completed and given back. However, the final set of correctly completed questionnaires, which could be surveyed, consisted of 126 (100 %) given back by pregnant women and 103 (100 %) by women after delivery.
