1 Abstract This thesis deals with the legal regulation of the registered partnership and focuses mainly on the current issues concerning the rights of gay people towards minors. It consists of nine chapters, which gradually discuss the various areas related to the registered partnership. The first chapter deals with the historical context and the outline of the development of homosexuality in the society. The second chapter defines the basic terms with which the thesis operates. The third chapter discusses the sources of legal regulation at the European Union and the constitutional law level. The fourth chapter talks about the coexistence of people and especially about the institute of the registered partnership and it is divided into three subchapters. The first subchapter deals with the institute of marriage, a traditional union of two persons. The next subchapter deals with the development of the institute of the registered partnership and the process of approval of the law, including some arguments that have been heard during the legislative process at the Chamber of Deputies. The last subchapter is devoted to the analysis of the valid legal regulation, with attention to some particularities of the legal regulation of the registered partnership. Two following chapters deal with the development of the...

FOSTER CARE FOR A TEMPORARY PERIOD This thesis describes and critically judges the legal regulation, practice and purpose of foster care for a temporary period in the Czech Republic. Children temporarily or permanently deprived of their family environment or children, who cannot be left in such environment, are entitled to a special protection and assistance granted by the state in one of alternative care forms. The Czech Republic is criticized for a long time by the international organizations because of numbers of children placed in any type of institutional care. Consequently, the amendment of the Act N. 359/1999 Coll., on social and legal protection of children, has been approved in June 2006. This amendment has established a new legal institute called "the foster care for a temporary period". The function of this institute is to avoid a placement of children to an institutional care in the case, when the children can not stay in the original family because of whatever reason however there is a presumption of re-entry to that original family. Parents still have their parental responsibilities and still have right to keep in touch with their child. The thesis is composed of six chapters, which are subdivided into subchapters. Chapter One deals with the historical development of foster care. Chapter Two...

This is a descriptive cross-sectional study with quantitative and qualitative approach in which the form and Katz index were applied to 76 family caregivers of dependent elderly people registered in the 11 existing Basic Health Care Units in Coari urban area that gave rise to the information obtained for the quantitative approach. Eleven out of the 76 family caregivers were interviewed to answer the qualitative approach.The form data, and katz index were compiled with the help of Microsoft 2007 and the semi-structured interview followed the technique of thematic analysis. The results showed that the profile of family caregivers, in majority, are middle aged married or divorced women with relatively low socioeconomic and educational level who become 24 hour caregivers. The most representative degree of relationship between the caregiver and the elderly in this study was as first degree relatives: parents and children. Regarding the profile of the dependent elderly focused on his study, the research has shown predominance age above 80 years old, female, widowed, with low educational level, affected by several chronic degenerative pathologies, which were the main causes of addiction, compromising the functionality concerning the basic activities of daily living. On the one hand the family members relationship with the elderly involved respect, affection and love, providing harmony in their home atmosphere, and on the other hand, this relationship is based on feelings of detachment and indifference. Sometimes the family network is a source of moments of support coming from the family caregivers’daughters, daughters-in-law and granddaughters while there are other moments with no support at all. The informal social network was formed by neighbors, friends and religious communities, whose support was given, specifically, by means of visits, emotional support and even financial support, whereas the formal was established by “Estratégia Saúde da Família – ESF, The Family Health Strategy - FHS, whose actions performed were considered punctual and focused. The coping resources to face the difficulties experienced by caregivers were mostly related to religious practices, which included faith and prayer, as well as love and occupation. Taking care of a dependent elderly in the family brought significant implications to caregivers’ lives, such as personal, professional and social ones. Regarding educational needs, caregivers showed that they lack information about the knowledge of pathology, the aging process, basic care in the management of dependent elderly (food, medication, bathing, position, mobilization and movements) and emergency situations. Given the questions raised in this study, we recognize how important it is for the professionals from “The Family Health Strategy” team to be better prepared to meet the elderly and their family needs in the home environment, seeking to develop actions that can achieve the goals proposed by the National Health Care System with the implementation of the National Health Policy for the Elderly in a more effective way. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar a configuração da rede de apoio e as necessidades educacionais frente ao cuidado familiar de idosos dependentes no município de Coari do estado do Amazonas. Trata-se de um estudo transversal e descritivo com abordagem quanti-qualitativa, em que foi aplicado o formulário e o índice de Katz a 76 cuidadores familiares de idosos em situação de dependência cadastrados nas 11 Unidades Básicas de Saúde da zona urbana do município de Coari (AM), a partir da qual foram obtidas as informações para abordagem quantitativa. Dos 76 cuidadores, 11 foram entrevistados para atender a abordagem qualitativa. Os dados do formulário e do índice de katz foram compilados com o auxílio do programa Microsoft 2007, já a entrevista semiestruturada seguiu a técnica de análise temática. Os resultados mostraram que o perfil dos cuidadores familiares, na sua maioria, são mulheres de meia idade, casadas ou solteiras, com nível sócio econômico e educativo relativamente baixo, que assumem o cuidado por 24 horas. O grau de parentesco entre o cuidador e o idoso sob cuidados de maior representatividade, neste estudo, foi o de filiação. Em relação ao perfil dos idosos dependentes, a pesquisa mostrou predominância da idade acima de 80 anos, sexo feminino, viúvas, com baixo nível de escolaridade, acometidas por várias patologias crônico-degenerativas, que foram as principais causas da dependência, comprometendo a funcionalidade no que se refere às Atividades Básicas da Vida Diária (ABVDs). A relação dos membros familiares com o idoso sob cuidados era de respeito, carinho e amor, proporcionando uma harmonia no cuidar; e por outro lado, esse relacionamento se configurou embasado no distanciamento e na indiferença. A rede familiar se configura, em um dado momento, como fonte de apoio advindo das filhas, noras e netas dos cuidadores familiares; já em outro momento como não apoio. A rede social configurada como informal, foi constituída pelos vizinhos, amigos e congregação religiosa, cujo apoio se deu, especificamente, através da visita, ajuda emocional e até mesmo material; já a formal, foi constituída pela Estratégia Saúde da Família-ESF, cujas ações se apresentaram pontuais e focalizadas. Os recursos de enfretamento das dificuldades vivenciadas pelos cuidadores, estavam relacionados às práticas religiosas, que incluem a fé e a oração, bem como o amor e a ocupação. Cuidar do familiar dependente trouxe diversas repercussões à vida dos cuidadores, tanto pessoais quanto profissionais e sociais. No que se referem às necessidades educacionais, os cuidadores mostraram que precisam obter informações acerca do conhecimento da patologia, o processo de envelhecimento, os cuidados básicos no manejo do idoso dependente (alimentação, medicação, banho, posição, mobilização e movimentos) e as situações de emergência. Diante das questões trazidas neste estudo, reconhecemos a importância de que os profissionais integrantes da equipe ESF estejam mais preparados para atender o idoso e a família no ambiente domiciliar, procurando assim desenvolver ações que busquem alcançar, de uma forma mais efetiva, os objetivos propostos pelo Sistema Único de Saúde por meio da implantação da Política Nacional de Saúde da Pessoa Idosa.

The Well Child/Tamariki Ora Health Book (the Plunket book) is a small booklet given to New Zealand mothers on the birth of a child. It has been used by nurses as a tool to record growth and development from birth to five years since the 1920s. Although use of the book decreases over time, it is frequently kept within the family and handed on from mother to child. Utilising an oral history approach, this study has traced the development of the Plunket book over time and explored the experiences of a group of 34 women and one man who have reflected on their ownership of, or involvement with, Plunket books. The study found that the Plunket book remains an effective clinical tool for mothers and nurses. Mothers have used the book as a tool to link past with present, to maintain kinship ties across generations, to deal with change intergenerationally, and in a manner that contributes to their self-identity as woman and mother. Although mothers were able to use the book to affirm their own knowledge and that of their mothers, a medically dominated discourse persists in the book. The book has also played a role in facilitating the interaction between mother and nurse, providing an opportunity to explore the relationship in detail. The study found that the most successful relationships at any time were those that bordered the division between a professional relationship and a personal one: it was not the information that nurses offered but the interaction and resulting care they provided that was important to the mothers in the study. The study recommends that nurses and other health professionals continue to use the Plunket book as a clinical tool mindful of the fact that the book remains in use beyond the health professional’s immediate involvement with the mother and child, playing an important role in the context of the New Zealand family across generations. Future versions of the book should contain written reference to the strengths and abilities the mother holds as she cares for her child, reaffirming her role and identity as mother not only when her children are younger but as they grow and become parents themselves.

Title from PDF of title page. / Document formatted into pages; contains 60 pages. / Thesis (M.A.)--University of South Florida, 2003. / Includes bibliographical references. / Text (Electronic thesis) in PDF format. / ABSTRACT: The development of ideas on deinstitutionalization of mental patients has a much longer history in the United States than is commonly acknowledged. Evidence of intense discussion on the rights of the mentally disturbed, curative as opposed to control measures in their treatment, and the drawbacks of congregating the afflicted in large institutions can be found as early as the middle of the 19th century. This discussion was provoked by dissemination of knowledge about the oldest community care program of all: the colony of mental patients in Gheel, Belgium. Based on document analysis of publications in the American Journal of Insanity from 1844 to 1921, this study attempts to trace how this discussion resulted in the first wave of deinstitutionalization in the American mental health care system, and the successful implementation of the alternative of hospital treatment. / ABSTRACT: My study further documents how the development of this program was inhibited by the need of psychiatry to attain professional legitimation. In its struggle to acquire public respect and occupational authority, the profession focused on somatic explanations of disease that could justify categorization of psychiatry as a branch of medical science. While this claim was not decisively supported by laboratory findings, or the ability to cure patients, psychiatry put forward genetic explanations of mental disorder. This took the profession to the extreme of the eugenics movement, and eventually positioned it as an institution of social control instead of medical authority. Having thus failed to achieve the ultimate professional legitimation in the medical field, psychiatry was exposed to a new wave of criticism in the 1960s, which led to the second wave of deinstitutionalization. History repeated itself with the same outcome. / ABSTRACT: In the absence of overall support within psychiatric circles, and a lack of appreciation of family care as a viable alternative to hospital treatment among social scientists, deinstitutionalization could not but fail again. The contribution of the study lies in the areas of deinstitutionalization, professionalization of expert labor, and the social construction of mental illness and deviance. / System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. / Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Historically, children were considered to rarely experience sleep problems and daytime sleepiness in middle childhood (5 – 12-years of age), however more recent findings indicate this may have changed. Psychosocial and environmental factors, such as technology use and bedtime routines, have been associated with reduced sleep quantity and/or quality. Links have also emerged between shorter sleep duration in children, and an increased risk of obesity in childhood and adulthood. Although a number of studies have investigated children’s sleep internationally, data are limited on both average sleep duration and the stability of sleep patterns of New Zealand children. This study aimed to collect normative data on the sleep of 6 – 8-year-olds, living in New Zealand, across both school and non-school nights, identify modifiable factors that impact on children’s sleep within the family environment, explore the relationship between children’s sleep and BMI, and pilot methods for potential future research. Actigraphy and diaries were used for seven consecutive days and nights, as well as a questionnaire incorporating the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), with 52 families living in the Wellington region. Stable objectively measured sleep patterns were identified, consistent with findings of Nixon et al. (2008). School night sleep duration was found to be, on average, longer than non-school night sleep, and parents tended to over-estimate their children’s sleep duration. Mean school night sleep duration was 9.9 hours (SD = 0.5) and non-school night sleep duration was 9.5 hours (SD = 0.7). No differences were identified between boys’ and girls’ sleep, and the 14% of children categorised as being overweight did not exhibit significantly different sleep patterns from the rest of the sample. Modifiable factors of technology and caffeine use were associated with differences in children’s sleep, as were non-modifiable familial factors of shiftworking adults living in the home, childcare duration and finishing times, and younger children in the household. Recommendations for future research include increasing the size and diversity of the sample, extending actigraphic recording to at least 10 consecutive days and nights to incorporate two weekends, using PSG with a sub-sample of children, and implementing a longitudinal study.

Abstract Keywords: Children, Parent, Foster Parents, Assisted Custody, Foster Family Care The present thesis aims are to find out what opinions and attitudes have foster parents to an assisted contact. Whether they are informed of the possibility of mediation, or how many children in foster care with their biological parent encounters. it should be examined how foster parents learnd about the possibility of assiseted contact and if the service is currently used, or whether it will be used by foster parents in the future. In this work we were determined by one question which is in the line with the target of the work. The question is: Are the foster parents having a child in foster care afraid of the loss of the child in relation to assisted contact? From a methodological point of view was applied qualitative research. Technology for field data collection was elected a semi-structured interview. The results were evaluated by cluster method. The results achieved in many parts coincide with literature, but new facts were also found. The research showed 7 clusters, which proved to be more common in the testimonies of the communication partners. The research was carried out thanks to probe into the lives of foster families, including the most intimate details of their life together. It was found that most foster parents do not distinguish foster care as a temporary treatment, but the child is perceived almost as an adopted child. It is difficult for them to think about the loss of a child or to meet a child with a biological parent. The outputs of the thesis can be used as a basis for further studies and research in this area. They can also be used as a teaching or supporting material in the subjects of social studies.

Neste estudo, vinculado à Linha de Pesquisa Cuidado de Enfermagem na Saúde da Mulher, Criança, Adolescente e Família. Área de Concentração: Cuidado em Enfermagem e Saúde do Programa de Pós Graduação em Enfermagem da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, apresenta-se a temática central: práticas de cuidado e sua inserção no cotidiano de crianças e famílias que vivem com a doença crônica. O objetivo foi compreender as trajetórias de cuidado de famílias de crianças que vivem com doenças crônicas e hospitalizadas. A pesquisa é qualitativa, na perspectiva de um estudo exploratório descritivo, cujo contexto são as Unidades de Internação Pediátrica do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, no município de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. Os participantes foram dez familiares de crianças que vivem com a doença crônica, hospitalizadas. Para a coleta de informações utilizaram-se as estratégias: entrevista semiestruturada, genograma, ecomapa e observação participante. As informações foram analisadas conforme referencial da Análise de Conteúdo proposta por Minayo. O estudo obteve aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Instituição, parecer nº 5158/2012. As famílias, em suas verbalizações, fizeram emergir as seguintes categorias de análise: Diagnóstico da doença crônica: descobertas, adaptações e o conhecimento de uma nova forma de entender a vida; A experiência das famílias no viver com a doença crônica; Experiências e percepções da família acerca da internação hospitalar; e Compressões sobre o cuidado. Os resultados revelam que as trajetórias de cuidado constituem-se em desafios como o de existir constantemente em meio aos dualismos saúde/doença, alegria/tristeza, presenças/ausências, aceitação da doença/revolta, vida/morte. O cuidado prestado pela família à criança que vive com doenças crônicas acontece, muitas vezes, em meio a dificuldades socioeconômicas e com poucos auxílios; possui significação ligada ao zelo, ao amor e a incessante espera pela cura; as atitudes de cuidado relacionam-se à terapêutica medicamentosa, ao controle da ingesta de alimentos e à satisfação das necessidades humanas básicas da criança. A descrição de uma trajetória de cuidado considera as responsabilidades e as capacidades individuais dos membros da família, o conhecimento das atuações que envolvem os profissionais de saúde, e os diversos âmbitos da sociedade. Assim, o conhecimento das trajetórias descritas pelas famílias possibilitou, neste estudo, identificar ações de cuidado, atitudes práticas das famílias, dos profissionais e das Instituições de saúde que vivenciam o cotidiano da doença crônica juntamente com a criança. Ressalta-se a importância do preparo dos profissionais para o cuidado à criança, instrumentalizando-se com conhecimentos, reflexões e práticas educativas, capazes de torná-los sensíveis às singularidades da cronicidade de cada patologia. Além da escuta, pois conhecer as Trajetórias de Cuidado oferece ao enfermeiro subsídios para qualificar o seu saber e fazer, para que atue de forma proativa no cuidado à família de criança com doença crônica revertendo em qualidade de vida da criança. / This study is related to a research line focused on nursing care on women, child, adolescent and family health (area of concentration: Health Care Nursing) that belongs to Graduation Program in Nursing at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. The central theme of this work are care practices and their insertion into everyday life of children and families who are managing chronic illness conditions. The aim was to understand the care trajectories of children families who are living with chronic illnesses and hospitalization conditions. The selected study design was a qualitative research, consisting in a descriptive exploratory study, developed in a Pediatric Inpatient Unit of the Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil). The participants were ten family members of children living with chronic hospital disease. To collect information we used the following strategies: structured interviews, genograms, eco-maps and participant observation. Data were analyzed through referential Content Analysis proposed by Minayo. The study was approved by the Institutional Research Ethics Committee (Review Board number 5158/2012). Families generated, in their utterances, the following analysis categories: (I) Diagnosis of chronic disease: findings, adaptations and knowledge in a new way of understanding life; (II) The experience of living in families with chronic illness; (III) Family experiences and perceptions about the hospital; (IV) Understandings about care. The results show that trajectories of care are constant challenges, living inside opposite feelings, as dualisms health vs. disease, happiness vs. sadness, presence vs. absence, acceptance of the disease vs. anger against the situation, life vs. death. Care provided by the family to the child living with chronic illness happens often in an environment of socioeconomic difficulties, with poor aid. Care has meaning attached to the zeal, love and the incessant hopes for healing. Attitudes of care were related to drug therapy, control of food intake and satisfaction of child basic human needs. The description of a trajectory of care considers the responsibilities and aptitude of individual family members, the knowledge of actions involving health professionals and the various spheres of society. Thus, knowledge of the trajectories described by the families in this study allowed identifying actions of care, practices attitudes of families, professionals and health institutions that experience the daily life of chronic illness with the child. We emphasize the importance of staff training for childcare, equipping themselves with knowledge, reflections and educational practices, which are capable of making them sensitive to the each chronic disorder singularities. This should be developed despite the mere listening, because awareness of Care trajectories offers the nurse precious subsidies to qualify him/her knowledge, allowing to act proactively in the care of family child with chronic disease. This could converts in an improvement in child quality of life. / En este estudio, vinculado a la Línea de Atención de Enfermería de Investigación en Salud de la Mujer, Niño, Adolescente y Familia.

This Master's thesis offers the insight into the problems of institutionalised upbringing of children in the Czech Republic. It consists of several parts. The theoretical part deals with family as a foundation in the child's life. Furthermore, it describes family dysfunction and possible upbringing options, either in a foster family environment or in an institution i.e. a children's home. The next chapter offers further particulars regarding institutionalised upbringing. We can find more detailed description of all professionals involved in the placement of children and decisions which type of upbringing is most suitable for them. In the theoretical part we can find further division of institutionalised upbringing options, depending on which ministerial departments are responsible. The practical part is based on a quality research with the help of half structured interview with children in family orientated children's home. The research was conducted in a real environment to achieve the most accurate result. The interviews were conducted between June and September 2017. Several questions were put to five children from five different family groups who were put into children's homes after the change of the Civil Code. The questions were geared mainly towards the biological family, reasons for placement into a children's home. The main aim was to ascertain the reasons for placement into a home with the changes of the law no 89/2012 being taken into consideration. My next objective was to determine if placements into children's homes are desirable and beneficial for their future upbringing. The interviews were copied word to word and analysed with the help of open coding and contrast technique. The conclusion of the research has determined that the Civil Code changes are not always beneficial for the child or the institution where the child is to be brought up. It was further determined that placements of children without their assessment in an appropriate institution is undesirable. The thesis could bring benefits to other professionals who actively participate in the placements of children into care. To achieve this quality research strategy has been chosen. The resource of the data received were half structured interviews with the children, their lawful guardians and the children's home director. Further details were obtained from the children's personal files. The conclusion of the thesis could be used as a tool when decisions regarding placements are made as this would benefit the child and be in his best interest. It could be used as a source for wider public and professionals alike.

Social care for the elderly Abstract The thesis deals with the issue of social care in the Czech Republic with regard to persons in retirement age. The main aim of this diploma thesis was to summarize the basic facts about this care and to provide the reader with a clear list of possible improvements or alternatives of social care for the elderly in various social security areas. In the introductory part, the paper first examines whether there is a need to address this topic and whether the Czech population is really getting old. These hypotheses have been confirmed on the basis of statistical data. This analysis also showed that resolving aging in the Czech Republic can solve support for family care. This form of care is the cheapest and easiest form of care in the Czech cultural and social environment. For this reason, the second chapter examines specifically family care in the Czech Republic. It deals first with the advantages and disadvantages of family care, then mentions the issue of gender imbalance in providing this care and the contemporary phenomenon of the sandwich generation. In one subchapter, the work mentions also the disproportionation of the old-age pension benefit of a family care provider where this care is provided for more than 15 years, and how this benefit could be proportionally...
