Informal client care after CMP.
VLNATÁ, Jana
The focus of the thesis is on the informal caregiver and family, who cares for a family member who has had a stroke. This topic is very relevant because CMP is one of the most common causes of disability and death, both in the Czech Republic and worldwide. The thesis consists of theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is focused on the study of literature and is divided into 4 basic areas. The first area characterizes the concept of brain and stroke, describes the causes, distribution, symptoms, treatment and consequences of this health and life-threatening event. The second area is the division of coordinated rehabilitation, which is necessary after a stroke, whether it be medical, social, pedagogical, work rehabilitation or spa care. The third area focuses on poststroke therapies such as physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and psychology. The next area focuses on forms of social assistance, without which home care for a close person would not be possible, and includes a care subsidy, a special aid subsidy, a mobility subsidy, a disability card and pension. Last but not least, terms such as formal and informal care are explained. The method of qualitative research using semi-structured interview technique was chosen for the elaboration of the practical part. The research group consisted of seven members of the South Bohemian Region who take care of a close member of their family for a long time at home. The interviews were recorded and then literally rewritten. In my research, I tried to answer the question: "What are the family's difficulties in caring for family members after having suffered from CMP and what are their most common problems?" In the discussion, I summarized the findings and hypothesised, based on research. The results of the diploma thesis can serve as a source of information for persons after the stroke and thein families and help to educate the public.
