Dear Mother Victoria
Full text linkMotherhood is by many, especially women, one of the greatest experiences in life. The ultimate goal that women, if not all than many, should achieve. Nowadays, we are flooded with help books, websites, guides that lead us through pregnancy and then assist us during the first months of our new born baby. This blessed state seems to be cherished now above all, however, this view was not always the same. Throughout history we can see many women for whom maternity was not meant to be and still they were able to fulfil their life-time goals devoting themselves to other areas of life. For some, maternity was rather a political aspect that would secure the future of the nation. In my article I will focus on the aspect of motherhood through the eyes of Queen Victoria for whom, indeed, maternity was rather an unwelcomed addition to her royal life. I will discuss her own rigid upbringing which can help to understand her later attitude towards her own children. The trend, where there were no proper roles ascribed to parents in terms of their influence on their children, was predominant in the 19th century and based on this we can see how important it was for character creatio

Qualitative research, case study, carried out for the purposes of this article, concerns learning about disabilities acquired in husbands a war veterans by their wives. The place of research is military culture, while the aim is to understand the essence of what wives learned about the disability of their husbands during the entire process of adaptation to life with a disability after returning from a mission, against the background of life in military culture. The theoretical part of the article contains a review of world literature with an emphasis on defining acquired disability. The very phenomenon of acquiring disability by veterans during military missions and its background, i.e. the anthropological phenomenon of culture shock, were analyzed. The empirical part of this article is a qualitative report of 3 case studies and 3 voices of war veterans’ wives. The research question in this report was formulated as follows: What did the wives learn about the acquired disability of their own veterans’ husbands after their return from military missions abroad? Research results generated after coding and categorization analyzes (Gibbs, 2011) indicate categories that answer the main research question and sub-questions in the following contexts: (a) acquired disability, (b) military support, (c) veterans’ privileges (d) auto-marginalization of veterans (e) wives’ infirmity, (f) alcohol and domestic violence, (g) before suicide, (h) wives suggesting changes in the support of veterans with acquired disabilities. The results of the analyzes indicate that the wives learned about the symptoms and characteristics of their husbands’ disabilities (mental and physical) and, additionally, they learned about the secondary disability (auto-marginalization, alcohol or drug addiction, domestic violence, escalation of suicidal thoughts) during adaptation after military missions.The article is a qualitative research report written from the theoretical perspective of disability studies.

Ewentualna przydatność procedur uniwersalnych w pracy z grupami podwyższonego ryzyka. Na przykładzie recepcji programu profilaktycznego „Smak życia, czyli debata o dopalaczach”
Full text linkResearchers of the behavior of adolescents from the so-called high-risk groups suggest that due to the high level of problem behaviors (e.g. drinking alcohol, smoking, drug use, violence) the most appropriate preventive work is the harm reduction approach, especially in the case of borderline behaviors such as alcohol use (Pisarska, Bobrowski, Greń, Ostaszewski, 2019: 343). Applying this type of strategy to illegal behavior such as drug use, especially NPS (the so-called legal highs) seems to be a bit more problematic.
Meanwhile, the results of research on the reception (process evaluation) of the “Taste of Life Debate” preventive program scenario indicate that selected universal procedures, intended for young people with an average level of risk, can be successfully used in work with young people at risk, as long as they relate to behavior that is not normative in the social sense (such as using NPS). The work is a short comparison of evaluation results in the universal group and in the high-risk group.Researchers of the behavior of adolescents from the so-called high-risk groups suggest that due to the high level of problem behaviors (e.g. drinking alcohol, smoking, drug use, violence) the most appropriate preventive work is the harm reduction approach, especially in the case of borderline behaviors such as alcohol use (Pisarska, Bobrowski, Greń, Ostaszewski, 2019: 343).

Oczekiwania i doświadczenia wsparcia rodziców dzieci z niepełnosprawnością
Full text linkMost parents of children with disabilities still do not know what support they can expect in the situation in which they have found themselves, and where and to whom they can turn for such support. Knowledge on this subject by medical, educational and local government employees is non-complex and does not create a coherent system, and therefore does not meet the expectations and needs of the parents. Assessment of the support obtained by individual groups, as well as access to suport systems and legal, financial and psychological assistance in the rehabilitation of a child in the organization of free time, is very diverse, which proves the ineffective functioning of information on such support and assistance systems. The aim of the conducted research was to what support was given to parents of children with disabilities and whether it is relevant to their needs and expectations. The research used a quantitative and qualitative strategy. The research used the method of diagnostic survey was used, in which a questionnaire and a focus group interview were conducted. The results show that according to the parents of children with disabilities still do not receive adequate support in Poland in the situation in which they have found themselves. A coherent system should be created for the management of an integrated package of services to support families raising a child (children) with disabilities. This system, based on medical, educational and territorial employees, should provide comprehensive and effective access to information about the forms of support and assistance available to such families.Most parents of children with disabilities still do not know what support they can expect in the situation in which they have found themselves, and where and to whom they can turn for such support.

The use of the C-eye system in communication and education of children
Full text linkDuring working with children with communication disorders, they are more and more often accompanied by devices supporting the development of speech. One of them is the C-eye system, which is used especially in two areas – communication and education. This article is an introductory report on the research on the use of high technologies in working with children with developmental disorders, accompanied by deficits in the field of verbal speech. The described case study concerns a child with delayed speech development, without any additional health burden, in whom the etiology of communication disorders has not been determined despite careful diagnostics and many specialist consultations. The article was written on the basis of observations, an interview with the family and the recommendations provided, and presents the original path of therapeutic treatment with the use of the C-eye device, which can be used in work with preschool and early school children. Very important was the neurologopedic diagnosis and research conducted during the therapy, which allowed for the proper definition of therapeutic goals and showed its effectiveness, both in the communication, educational and social sphere.During working with children with communication disorders, they are more and more often accompanied by devices supporting the development of speech.

Verbal communication disorders in a patient with diagnosed progressive supranuclear palsy
Full text linkProgressive supranuclear palsy [Steele-Richardson-Olszewski] is a neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. It develops mainly in men over 40 years of age. The course of PSP is rather characteristic: motor, cognitive and non-cognitive impairments develop at a fairly rapid rate. The aim of the study is to assess interactional, communicative and linguistic competencies and skills, executive abilities (breathing, phonation and articulation) as well as primary functions of a patient diagnosed with PSP. The article confirms the thesis that dementia disorders overlap with motor disorders in the course of PSP.Progressive supranuclear palsy [Steele-Richardson-Olszewski] is a neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system.
