These households are usually one-person or two-person and their number is steadily increasing. Childlessness is a problem mainly for married couples. Unmarried couples and single people are not subject to social pressure to have children. The choice of a childfree lifestyle is associated with the choice of living in one-person household or in a non-marital relationship. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/2859 Tytuł: Internauci o „matce-zabójczyni”. Przyczynek do analizy socjologicznej Autorzy: Strzemecka, Stella Abstrakt: The article focuses on the analysis of social reactions that manifest themselves in the form of comments of Internet users regarding mothers who killed their children. The aim of the study was an attempt to create a typology of Internet users judging a “killer mother”. The analysis includes anonymous Internet users who posted comments under the articles of two portals: Wp.pl (”Wirtualna Polska”) and Onet.pl (”Onet”). Comments on three selected cases of murders of minors in Poland over the decade (2003-2013) were submitted. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/2858 Tytuł: Kiedy owu nie ma, żołnierzyki są leniwe, beta niska, a marzenie o fasolce niespełnione… Wpływ niepłodności na relacje między partnerami Autorzy: Trębaczewska, Marta Abstrakt: Unplanned childlessness or inability to give birth again are nowadays a serious social problem – different statistics say there are from 1 to 3 million pairs impacted. Childlessness is not only an inability to have children but the entire scope of factors affecting social everyday life. It influences financial, professional and interpersonal relations situation but, above all, it changes intrafamilial relations. Harsh and long-lasting therapies require redefining relations between partners and crossing many barriers – intimacy (in both purely physical and illness related sense), strength (physical and emotional) or trust. It forces couples/ marriages to redefine their relations – build new rules of family (and social) life devoted (or not) to a common (or not) goal. Partners’ bodies no longer belong to them and start being treated as a tool necessary for reproduction. They way of “using” the body changes, the way one sees one’s changes – there is a separation between the mind and the body which is subject of therapies, the new language allowing partners to talk about the body and its parts is created (the language that eases familiarizing with the problem) – often childish, e.g. snowflake = frozen embryo, soldiers = sperm). The goal of the article is to outline everyday life problems that couples/marriages face when trying to have children for a very long time. Previous, media driven approach to the topic reduces it to political discussions about in vitro without mentioning mental, social and existential fear that accompanies infertile couples and changes their relationships. The topic is illustrated by the preliminary results of quality research carried out in 2010 on couples struggling with infertility. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/2857 Tytuł: Choroba Alzheimera jako czynnik modyfikujący funkcjonowanie rodzin Autorzy: Lech, Adam Abstrakt: The progressive process of ageing of contemporary societies and the increase in life expectancy related to the process result in a steady rise in the number of people suffering from Alzheimer’s. The disease is becoming a serious problem for a growing number of families who need to provide constant, long-term care for Alzheimer’s patients. The article presents the results of a research conducted among the participants of support groups for Alzheimer’s families. The purpose of the research was to grasp the way in which the presence of an Alzheimer’s patient in a family influences interactions, family relations and functioning of the family. The conclusions presented in the article are related to such problems as a sense of moral duty to provide the patient with care, changes in the structure of a family caused by Alzheimer’s disease, relations between the patient and their main caregiver, problems of acting as a caregiver, the influence of Alzheimer’s disease on family relations and bonds. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z
