Abstract

V originále

The main aim of the research study was to find out what position the intact sibling occupies with his sibling with Down syndrome and how he perceives their mutual relationship. Based on the main objective, partial objectives were set to find out how Down syndrome affected the family from the point of view of an intact sibling; how Down syndrome affected the intact sibling itself, and which factors could affect the relationship between siblings. To achieve the objectives of the research study, the qualitative method with the semi-structured interview technique was used. The research study has shown that the relationship between siblings is positive and intact siblings occupy an appropriate position in the family. This was mainly helped by parents, who created suitable conditions for building a good relationship between siblings.
