The Chinese parent-child relationship is remarkably close throughout the lifespan. Parents get involved in planning their child’s career, social activities, and even marriage. For their point, when adult children attain financial stabilities, they support aging parents in various ways. This report reviews this strong bond as a moral responsibility between parents and children that parents sacrifice for their children unconditionally. In return, children pay back their moral debts to parents by fulfilling filial piety, including doing well in school, respecting family members and supporting parents. However, the traditional parent-child relationship may have changed after the one-child policy due to the shift in family structure, and new roles of only children in the family. Thus, moral responsibilities continue to capture the attention of experts interested in family structure in general and Chinese society in past. / text

<p>To date most research on long-term outcomes of childhood trauma has focused on traumatic brain injuries, but less is known about traumatic injuries not involving the brain. Since traumatic brain injuries can have persistent effects on child behaviour, I investigated whether other types of traumatic injuries could also affect child behaviour in the long term. Currently, limited information is available on possible associations between family function and child behaviour after child trauma; knowledge of the long-term costs of pediatric trauma is also lacking. The main goal of this study was to determine whether family function was associated with behaviour in children who experienced a traumatic injury eight to ten years ago. Additional goals were to determine current expenditures and use of health and social services by child trauma victims and their parents. Pediatric trauma victims were selected from a trauma database at a tertiary care hospital in the Hamilton-Wentworth region. The parents of these children were interviewed to obtain children’s current behaviours and the family’s use of health and social services. The results showed that injury severity was not associated with child behaviour, but associated with family functioning. No relationship was found between health and social service expenditures for children and their injury severity, but there was a relationship between parent health and social service expenditures and child injury severity. The results do not support an association between child behaviour and injury severity following trauma, but they do suggest that expenditures and use of services by injured children and their families are affected long-term. The results suggest that future health and social service uses of injured children and their families may be better understood and planned for by recognizing the continuing effects of trauma. This information could help making appropriate health and social service programs more available to this population.</p> / Master of Science (MSc)

The work deals with the families, which are looking after children with disabilities. It analyzes changes and also similarities which are possible on these home environments. This interpretation comes from definition of family, functions, educational styles, relationships and roles typical for families. This work then continues with the definition and specification of the hard living situation, which arises in these families from the first step (which means the first reactions after the information{\crq}s about disabilities of the child) through the following steps to the step of the reconciliation with the disability.

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka om skattad familjefunktion påverkades av parsamtal på familjerådgivning och om det förelåg någon skillnad i behandlingsutfall mätt med SCORE-15 beroende på om deltagarna gått i sedvanlig familjerådgivning eller familjerådgivning med inkludering av Feedback Informerad Terapi (FIT). Åttiotvå deltagare skattade familjefunktion vid inledning av familjerådgivningen. Trettioåtta undersökningsdeltagare skattade sin familjefunktion med SCORE-15 både före och efter parsamtal vid familjerådgivning. Av de 38 fick 18 (47.4%) familjerådgivning med FIT och 20 (52.6%) sedvanlig familjerådgivning. Resultatet visade en statistisk signifikant förbättring avseende skattning av total familjefunktion mätt med SCORE-15 före och efter familjerådgivning och en signifikant större förändring i SCORE-15 före och efter familjerådgivningen för de deltagare som fick sedvanlig familjerådgivning jämfört med FIT. Deltagarna i sedvanlig familjerådgivning hade dock en sämre familjefunktion inledningsvis, vilket innebar en större möjlighet till förbättring. Därutöver undersöktes genom fyra kvalitativa intervjuer familjerådgivares upplevelser av huruvida familjefunktion påverkas av familjerådgivning, med eller utan inkludering av FIT och huruvida de upplevde någon skillnad i behandlingsutfall beroende på om FIT inkluderas i familjerådgivningen. Familjerådgivare upplevde att familjefunktionen förbättrades efter familjerådgivning. Däremot upplevde de inte någon skillnad i behandlingsutfallen beroende på om individer fått familjerådgivning med FIT eller inte. Studiens begränsningar och de kliniska implikationerna diskuteras.

The diploma thesis is focused on the differences in the system of child care in a children's home and in foster care. The fundamental right of children in the event of their separation from their parents, which is based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child, includes the right to regular personal contact with parents (if such contact is in the best interests of the child). The first part of the diploma thesis is focused on the legal anchoring of institutional education and alternative family education with a focus on children's homes and foster care. Furthermore, the basic rights of children, especially the right of children to contact with the biological family with a focus on the description of the practical functioning of supporting the contact of children with the biological family in children's homes and foster care. The second part of the diploma thesis is focused on research, the aim of which is to find out, through quantitative research, how children growing up in a given form of alternative care perceive the support of contact with the biological family.

This master's thesis discusses the topic of family with a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the support which this family may receive in the Czech Republic. In this context, functions and current functioning of family are described. Furthermore, the text brings information on the causes, manifestations and classification of ASD as well as on various autism spectrum disorders. Reactions of the family to the revelation about child's diagnosis are introduced together with the subsequent problems that the family faces. It also presents support options which families with an ASD-affected child may take advantage of. The following methods are used for the research: questionnaire construction, study of literature and unstructured interviews. The aim of this paper is to create a description of a family with an ASD-affected child and determine whether these families receive the necessary support and whether services provided for them are truly available to them.

My choice of dissertation subject was influenced by the fact that there is a increasing number of divorces in recent years. This fact is supported by data from the Czech Statistical Office, which imply that every second marriage ends in divorce. It is impossible to define a clear-cut cause of the trend, because the decision to get divorced is influenced by many factors. These include the increasing pace of social changes, different approaches to problem-solving and to life in general, a specific argument between the partners that leads to a deep and lasting disharmony between them and many others. A divorce is a painful matter for all those involved. It influences broad areas of everyday life and has consequences for the adults as well as for the children (in the case of a divorce where children were born during the marriage). When the family situation is so unsettled that a compromise is difficult to find, it is possible to use an institution or a facility, which can offer social counselling according to law no. 108/2006 of the Collection of Laws on social services, in full wording. We differentiate between basic and professional social counselling. In the case of divorce, professional counselling is appropriate and can be accessed for example via counselling units for families, marriages and interpersonal relations which have this service properly registered within their remit. The extent of the use of these services was the research subject of this dissertation. The aim of this dissertation was to ascertain if families going through a divorce are accessing social counselling to resolve their situation and with what effect. To accomplish the stated aim, three investigative questions were chosen. 1.From what sources are the families informed about the possibility to take advantage of social counselling? 2.How does taking advantage of social counselling help families undergoing a divorce to resolve the life situation? 3.What do the families gain as a result of taking advantage of social counselling? A qualitative research strategy was chosen to collect the necessary information, using a survey method. Two techniques were used firstly the questionnaire containing closed questions and secondly the technique of in-depth interviews of selected respondents. The research was split into two phases. During the first phase a questionnaire with closed questions was used to establish which of the families took advantage of social counselling during divorce. During this phase the basic research set S1 was formed by the subset of respondents that went through divorce. This totalled 47 respondents chosen by the "snowball sampling" method. Using this method the chosen subject recommends further respondents that fulfil the conditions of the research. All 47 respondents agreed to fill in the questionnaire. The second phase of the research involved interviews with respondents forming the selective subset S2. This subset was created using quota selection from respondents who answered YES to the first question of the questionnaire.This select set was formed by 5 respondents. The interviews were transcribed into a recording form and the gathered data was further classified based on predefined questions or areas of the research enquiry, followed by analysis and comparison with the answers of other respondents. The purpose of this dissertation was to show, based on research carried out, if and to what extent the service of social counselling is used, which opportunities it offers and how it benefits the people taking advantage of these services. It was clear from the results, that the utilisation of these services is limited by the fact that a significant number of divorcing families, for whatever reason, does not look for this help. Conversely, the respondents that used social counselling benefited from this service whilst solving problems associated with their divorce, often simplifying the process.

The diploma work deals with the problems today's families suffer from, also deals with the support that can be given to dysfunctional families in the Czech Republic. Description of functional family and the family definition itself is the integral part of the diploma work. The text also brings information about criminal activities of under age children, CAN syndrome, divorce and about essential and important laws related to family problematics. The theoretical part is completed with practical examples obtained at interviews. The aim of the diploma work is to define and to analyze the problems, to summarize the assistance and support of today's families and, last but not least, to provide the description of the law leaning on the family assistance.
