The main aim of this paper is to juxtapose the normative aspect of intergenerational solidarity with specific care practices against the backdrop of Poland’s public debate on social expectations, costs and changes needed in the system of pensions and social benefits offered to elderly citizens (the systemic context of intergenerational solidarity). The paper presents grandparents’ practices in offering care to their grandchildren and children’s practices in supporting their elderly parents. Such practices originate not as much from the emotional aspect of intergenerational solidarity as from culture-defined expectations of specific age categories, reinforced by unavailability of public care institutions. The analysis, based on qualitative and quantitative data, finds that intergenerational solidarity in Poland is a source of multiple tensions (including gender-related ones).

The situation in which there are problems with the proper fulfillment of both care-related and parental duties towards the children within a family can be in some cases referred to as social orphanhood, which is a major problem that affects children. One of the forms of compensating for social orphanhood is placing a child in a foster care, whose specific type is a family-based foster care. By providing individual care and protection to the children who cannot be brought up in their natural families and through proper family functioning family foster homes are intended to assure child’s proper physical, mental and social development, as well as to increase his or her chances of having a happy and carefree childhood.

Every year a very large number of children in the world suffer from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and for years there has been a steady increase in the number of new cases. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia accounts for 75% of leukemia cases in the world. Lymphoblastic leukemia is a cancer disease that originates in B or T cell lymphocytes, which expansion takes place in blood and in the bone marrow. The etiology of the disease is not fully understood because it consists of several factors conditioning its formation. The most important element is the early detection and taking actions resulting in effective disease control through treatment and care of the patient. The nursing process should allow the patient to be involved in and accept the ongoing cancer process, and medical personnel, family and specialists in such fields as psychology and psychiatry should participate.

In this article the authors examine the forms and experiences of insecure and precarious work by Czech women caring for a child or a dependent family member. The results of a quantitative survey indicate that the share of caring women performing precarious work increased during the economic crisis. A secondary analysis of interviews conducted in 2006–2013 with women caring for a child or another family member offered insight into the forms precarious work can take and the ways women feel about this kind of work and why. It also demonstrated in what way, based on the capability approach, their explanations provide a better understanding of the nature and extent of precarious work among women with care responsibilities. We found that the ways caring women view ad-hoc work fit along a continuum, ranging from an optimal temporary strategy, to a temporary solution in the absence of other options, and finally to feelings of being caught in a precarious work trap. This continuum can be extrapolated into a kind of ‘collective story’: a woman first ‘chooses’ ad-hoc work as a temporary strategy to get a job; if her life conditions are difficult she must continue to perform such work against her preferences; after a long period of economic inactivity or of performing just temporary work, the woman is ultimately unable to find any secure form of employment, even if she is no longer restricted by care responsibilities – she ends up trapped in precarious work.

Modern family may be propitious environment for normal developing of child, but also may be dangerous I realization of their tasks. These dangers, first of all, refer to pathological and parent families. Actually the number of parent families are growing, almost in all societies. The causes of this fact are complicated, but generally is the result of industry, social-cultural and ethical changes. More often we can meet the families, where lonely mother cares one or several children. The child educated in such families has difficult situation, differs from accepted norms, but it doesn’t mean that it’s developing is incorrect or unsettled. Shouldn’t be construed it’s situation as an extreme or belittle. Doubtless, educational process in parent families is more complicated by fact theirs incompleteness.

Introduction and aim. The incidence of cancer is increasing on a daily basis. One of the methods used for treatment is radiotherapy. Owing to interventions during the radiotherapy process, the patient may experience care dependency. In this study, the aim was to investigate care dependence and related factors in radiation oncology patients. Material and methods. This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study. Data were collected between September 2020 and September 2021. In the collection of data, a sociodemographic information form and a Care Dependency Scale were used. The sample consisted of 52 people. Results. Number of participants was 52, mean age was 60.25±11.715, mean care dependency score (initial) 66.19±18.966, mean care addiction score (final) 66.27±22.795. Conclusion. The care dependency of patients hospitalized in the radiation oncology clinic is moderate. The care dependency of these patients decreased partially during their stay in the clinic. The patient’s inability to walk, speak and the presence of a companion affected the patient’s condition. By evaluating the care dependency levels of the patients, the awareness of the nurses about their patients can be increased. In addition, it may be appropriate to consider the care dependency levels of the patients for the nurse workforce planning to work in the oncology clinic.

In this paper we reflect on some analysis conducted by researchers as Laura Balbo, Mary Catherine Bateson and Martha Nussbaum who, although having not had direct relations among them or specific partnerships, have greatly contributed to elaborate concepts and categories regarding our new vision of the well-being. This concept, so dear to the economist Amartya Sen, draws nourishment from thoughts and lived belonging to women’s life experience, particularly as concerning their capacity to organize their daily and family life, taking care of others, shouldering the vulnerabilities and building their biographical paths with creativity and adaptation. So we can understand what is a good life through the realization of our abilities, that is of each person, and not using a utility calculation. This involves a new approach to life quality and human development, that is exactly the capabilities approach described by Sen, rehashed by Nussbaum but, for some aspects, it was already present into the studies which characterize the gender prospective.

Family research is crucially important to teacher education and training because it delivers important insights for understanding the conditions of students' socialisation. Changes in family life, like longer working hours of parents, actual loss of adult company in children's life, less time spent on family activities, have raised the question of quality in family relationships. The current article discusses the main aspects of parental practices: care, control and family activities. The study analysed how students and parents understand family care, joint activities, vision of future and the differences of their conceptions. Two ethnic groups - Estonian and Russian families were studied. The current study was based on a questionnaire, which was administered to 4372 students in grades 4 through 12 of secondary schools and 2405 parents. The results were analysed using χ2-test. The results revealed that students worry about their future coping at school and about finishing the school significantly more than parents. There are differences between two ethnic groups - Estonian and Russian: Russian families tend to have higher levels of care and control than Estonian families and relations between children and parents are closer in Russian families as well. The article provides teachers with useful information to work with families of different ethnic groups.

This article focuses on two generations of women in the Czech Republic who are currently mothers or grandmothers of young children. Based on interviews that were carried out with 20 mothers and 20 grandmothers of children under the age of 10, the article analyses what kinds of expectations are attached to the role of grandmother and how the norm of ‘good’ grandmother is constructed by different generations of women. The author identifies three strong norms of grandmothering: the norm of non-interference, the norm of constant availability, and the norm of activity. The narratives of both the mothers and the grandmothers reflected a strong ‘gendered contact’ between the two generations, which is based on a generational transfer of caring responsibilities. A new norm, the norm of activity, is mainly constructed by mothers and it involves the idea that a ‘good’ grandmother provides not just instrumental care but above all ‘adventures’. Both the mothers and the grandmothers pointed out how the family role of grandmothers had changed compared to past generations of grandmothers. The article analyses the (changing) norms of grandmothering in relation to the changing cultural representation of ageing and especially in relation to ideas about active ageing, and it highlights some of the contradictory expectations that are attached to the role of grandmothers as a result of the inconsistent/clashing demands being made of them.

Grandparental care of grandchildren is a highly gendered institution, with women being more likely to participate in it than men. This article studies whether and why care by grandmothers and grandfathers is influenced by their family arrangement. Following previous research, the authors focus on the mediating role of grandmothers in the involvement of men in caring for their grandchildren. We use a combination of quantitative and qualitative data about grandparents with small grandchildren (under ten years of age). The quantitative analysis is based on SHARE data and identifies whether the involvement in care depends on gender and the partnership arrangements of grandparents, controlling for a number of other characteristics of families. The analysis reveals a strong positive impact of the presence of a partner on the engagement of men (but not women) in grandparental care. This effect is present among both intact families and families with more complex arrangements. The qualitative analysis of 20 interviews with mothers and 20 interviews with grandmothers provides a deeper understanding of these results. It shows that the involvement of grandparents is shaped by the gender-specific notions of care competence and grandparental roles held by the participants and also by the kin-keeping activities of women. Grandmothers, compared to their male counterparts, are perceived as more capable of satisfying the needs of a small child. They also do more work on maintaining intergenerational family relationships and arranging care. They actively (sometimes in very sophisticated ways) involve their partners in the care of grandchildren.

Gawęda - the story has been an important element of cultural education since the earliest times. Children like to listen to fairy tales. It is a great way for them to learn important and impossible to show matters, e.g. values. The study presented on different groups of preschool children (six-year-olds) shows that storytelling - listening is still an attractive way to upbringing. It is also worth conducting similar studies in older age groups, including adolescents and young adults. The presented research and considerations also lead to the conclusion that to some extent we are all children and we need such stories. Storytelling serves listeners, but it can also be used by storytellers because good storytelling requires reflection and also serves the development of a tutor storyteller. tale, upbringing, care, the attractiveness of the story, good story Gawęda - opowieść była ważnym elementem edukacji kulturalnej od najwcześniejszych czasów .Dzieci lubią słu-chać bajek.

Przedstawione badanie przeprowadzone na różnych grupach dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym (sześciolatków) poka-zuje, że opowiadanie - słuchanie jest nadal atrakcyjnym sposobem wychowania. Warto również przeprowadzić podobne badania w starszych grupach wiekowych w tym młodzieży i młodych dorosłych. Przedstawione badania i rozważania prowadzą również do wniosku, iż w pewnym stopniu wszyscy jesteśmy dzieć-mi i potrzebujemy takich opowieści. Opowiadanie służy słuchaczom, ale również może służyć opowiadającym, ponieważ dobre opowiadanie wymaga refleksji i służy również rozwojowi gawędziarza wychowawcy. gawęda, wychowanie, opieka, atrakcyjność opowieści, dobre opowiadanie

Aim. This article aims to summarize the current state of understanding on a development of a caring teacher-student relationship in higher education context, grounded in relational pedagogy. Also, it provides critical reflection on the data from available literature. Methods. The development of a caring teacher-student relationship was presented using the method of description, based on the review of relevant literature. Results. The development of a caring relationship between students and higher education teachers can be monitored in stages. At first, there is the introductory meeting with the students when a teacher with his personality, authenticity, and approach lays the foundations for the development of a caring relationship. During further meetings, the teacher encourages mutual trust, respect, and appreciation and deepens the relationship by adapting the teaching process to the needs, interests, and affinities of students, until the formal completion of their cooperation. Conclusion. In order to achieve a caring relationship with students in higher education, a teacher needs to approach it consciously, intentionally, thoughtfully and to plan it well from the very beginning. It is crucial to get to know the students as real persons, and accordingly, continuously adapt the teaching process to their needs and interests, allowing them to express themselves freely in a safe, accepting, and encouraging environment. Cognitive value. By presenting the stages of a development of the caring relationship between students and higher education teachers and the synthesis of their characteristics, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of this phenomenon.

In the Polish system of child care changes are made that aim to increase the responsibility of parents for the care and upbringing of their children. The basic assumptions of the pro-family policy is to improve form of family care and reduction of forms overall care over children. Of special concern are children under 3 years old , who create new nurseries, children's clubs, day care institution and nannies. The youngest children from dysfunctional families are expected to stay at home of or be placed in a typical residential institutions. In the near future it is planned to place small children, in family forms, only in foster care and eliminate care facilities for children up to the age of 10, giving them a chance for a better development in the family.
