The problem of homelessness is not new, however it was only after 1989 that research regarding this issue started in Poland. Only very sparse publications connected with this subject matter appeared in preceding years. That situation was caused predominantly by the tendency to conceal the existence of certain social issues. The research related to this significant phenomenon conducted in the period of less than 20 years turned out to be extremely difficult, time and work consuming and very costly. A preliminary survey of the subject related literature showed that a research connected with family homelessness is undertaken very rarely. This phenomenon is a dangerous experience for an individual, but also the issue of family homelessness is becoming an alarming problem. Family's life is disturbed, which often leads to its disintegration. When a family faces homelessness, children are often placed in welfare institutions. Homelessness has negative impact on children's growth and education. Moreover it ruins physical and mental well being of the family members. In relation with the occurring problems, the herein article attempts an analysis of the issue of family homelessness. The analysis focused on the socio-demographic image of homeless families, causes of the problem, place of stay, ways for providing for the family, and forms of assistance for homeless families.

The article attempts to show the image of one's mother in the perception of homeless women.

Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is not only exhausting physically and emotionally, but can also have high financial costs. This problem becomes of a special importance in the presence of an aging process of individual as well as the society, and in light of a growing number of people with AD. Caring for person with AD constitutes a high risk of a decreased quality of life of the caregiviers; it is especially true with regard to family caregivers, who are emotionally connected with the patient. Therefore, the aim of the study was to recognize and present their social world on the basis of a narrative which is a subjective, namely a reconstruction of their life history. The technique of an autobiographical narrative interview was used for the research, as proposed by F. Schütz, who developed the method as a cohesive concept of biographical research. The collected empirical material (50 interviews) was analyzed, providing answers to the posed questions and allowing the formulation of conclusions, which made it possible to enrich the existing knowledge with the qualitative aspect of the analysis.

Opieka nad osobą z chorobą Alzheimera jest nie tylko wyczerpująca fizycznie i emocjonalnie, ale może też wiązać się z wysokimi kosztami finansowymi. Problem ten nabiera szczególnego znaczenia w obliczu procesu starzenia się jednostki i społeczeństwa oraz rosnącej liczby osób z chorobą Alzheimera. Opieka nad osobą z alzheimerem naraża opiekunów na wysokie ryzyko obniżenia jakości życia, szczególnie dotyczy to opiekunów rodzinnych, którzy są emocjonalnie związani z pacjentem. Celem było rozpoznanie i przedstawienie ich społecznego świata na podstawie narracji będącej subiektywną rekonstrukcją ich historii życia. Do badań wykorzystano autobiograficzny wywiad narracyjny, zaproponowany przez F. Schütza, który opracował metodę jako spójną koncepcję badań biograficznych. Zebrany materiał empiryczny (50 wywiadów) został poddany analizie, umożliwiając udzielenie odpowiedzi na postawione pytania i sformułowanie wniosków, co pozwoliło na wzbogacenie posiadanej wiedzy o jakościowy aspekt analizy.

Parkinson’s disease is one of the most frequent neurodegenerative disorders. The core symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are bradykinesia, tremor and plastic rigidity. Social scientific research on experiencing chronic illness focuses directly on pivotal players in health care – people who are sick. Health researchers, practitioners and policy makers may claim to represent patients’ concerns. However, they seldom obtain systematic “in-depth” views of patients’ experience of health care, much less of what it means to live with continued illness. The aim of the study was to recognize and present their social world on the basis of a narrative which is a subjective reconstruction of their life history. The technique of an autobiographical narrative interview was used for the research, as proposed by Schütz, who developed the method as a cohesive concept of biographical research. The collected empirical material (44 interviews) was analyzed, providing answers to the posed questions and allowing the formulation of conclusions, which made it possible to enrich the existing knowledge with the qualitative aspect of the analysis. The research on experiencing chronic illness emphasizes how people come to view themselves as chronically ill and how illness affects their lives.

Choroba Parkinsona jest jedną z najczęstszych chorób neurozwyrodnieniowych. Podstawowymi objawami choroby Parkinsona są bradykinezja, drżenie i sztywność plastyczna. Społeczne badania naukowe nad doświadczaniem chorób przewlekłych koncentrują się bezpośrednio na kluczowych graczach w służbie zdrowia – ludziach chorych. Badacze zdrowia, praktycy i decydenci mogą twierdzić, że reprezentują obawy pacjentów, rzadko jednak uwypuklają opinie na temat doświadczenia pacjentów w zakresie opieki zdrowotnej, a tym bardziej w odniesieniu do tego, co oznacza życie z chorobą przewlekłą. Celem badań było rozpoznanie i przedstawienie ich społecznego świata na podstawie narracji będącej subiektywną rekonstrukcją ich historii życia. Do badań wykorzystano autobiograficzny wywiad narracyjny zaproponowany przez Schützego, który opracował metodę jako spójną koncepcję badań biograficznych. Zebrany materiał empiryczny (44 wywiady) został poddany analizie, co umożliwiło udzielenie odpowiedzi na postawione pytania i sformułowanie wniosków, to zaś pozwoliło na wzbogacenie posiadanej wiedzy o jakościowy aspekt analizy. Badania nad chorobą przewlekłą ukazują, jak ludzie postrzegają siebie jako osoby przewlekle chore i jak choroba wpływa na ich życie.
