| Description | This paper analyses concerns of conflict situations and their main determinants of persons using a wheelchair who participated in the self-defense course. The second aim is to evaluate the influence of self-defense courses on concerns of the attack on participants of the course. There were five subjects - four women, one man, 31±11 years old. Semi-structured individual interviews were used, analyzed by coding open methods based on grounded theory. The results show that self-defense courses could bring a positive influence on the condition, social, and psychological level. Despite a possible increase in the frequency of perception of fears, participants agree that after completing the self-defense course, there was increased self-confidence and a proactive approach to prevention, as well as the improved perception of self-safety |
