This qualitative and quantitative study focused on exploring hospice patient’s perceptions of family support. Family support was conceptualized as which family member they expect to receive support from, types of support provided, frequency of support, family communication about medical illness, and type of support that is perceived to be most helpful. Fifteen partcipants between the ages of 70 to 98 were interviewed using purposive sampling. Findings showed that although participants found both physical and emotional support helpful, more than half reported perceiving emotional support as the most helpful. Recommendations for social work practice and research were discussed.

The subject of this thesis is an analysis of support for families with children in pension and tax system of the Czech Republic. In pension system family is supported in connection with survivor pensions and parents are supported in relation to retirement pensions. Tax system allows to families with children various tax credits that reduce the final tax liability. Furthermore, from this system are paid state benefits and foster care benefits. In terms of overall tax support are in the Czech Republic the most supported medium- and high-income households with both parents and single parent households the least. The theoretical part deals with various kinds of support within each system. The practical part contains analysis of support from the tax system and health insurance system as other form of support for families with children. Its aim is to quantify changes in income of model families based on the number of children and income level before kids.

This research develops a design support system, which is able to estimate the life cycle cost of different product families at the early stage of product development. By implementing the system, a designer is able to develop various cost effective product families in a shorter lead-time and minimise the destructive impact of the product family on the environment.

Annotation:
Some families in the Free State Province, specifically in Thabo-Mofutsanyana district, are families living with mentally ill family members. The families accompany the mentally ill family members to designated clinics which offer primary, secondary and tertiary mental health services, and all these levels of care provide care, treatment and rehabilitation of mentally ill persons (SA, 2002:2). Despite the care that these families give to their mentally ill family members, it seemed that they find it difficult to cope living with a mentally ill family member. This is supported by Zergaw, Hailemariam, Alem and Kebed (2008:191) who indicate the economic impact, disruption of daily life, work and family relationships experienced by families living with a mentally ill family member. This was also evident in a study by Du Plessis, Greeff and Koen (2004:4), that, because of a lack of a formal support system for families living with mentally ill family members, and lack of necessary skills to take on the responsibility of caring for mentally ill relatives, mentally ill family members relapse and are readmitted in the mental health care institutions. Adding to this, in most of the families living with mentally ill family members in the Thabo-Mofutsanyana district, it is not known how they cope and are supported. Once there is a clear understanding of how families experience living with mentally ill family members, health care practitioners can give better support to families living with mentally ill family members. The research objective of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of families living with a mentally ill family member in the Thabo-Mofutsanyana district, to explore and describe the strengths of families living with a mentally ill family member, and to formulate guidelines to support families living with mentally ill family members. A qualitative, phenomenological design was used which enabled the researcher to understand the way in which the families experience living with a mentally ill family member. The population studied in this research consisted of families living with mentally ill family members in the Thabo-Mofutsanyana district in South Africa. The purposive sampling was used to select participants with the assistance of a mediator. Permission to conduct research was negotiated with the district manager. Voluntary and informed consent in writing was obtained from all the participants. The sample size was determined by data saturation, which was reached after 14 interviews. Data analysis was carried out simultaneously with data collection. In consensus discussions, the researcher and the co-coder reached consensus on the main and sub themes. From the research findings, five main themes were identified. The first two themes are the positive and negative experiences of living with a mentally ill family member. The third theme is the concerns of family in staying with a mentally ill family member. The fourth theme is the strengths in coping with a mentally ill family member. The last theme is ways in which family members as families wanted to be supported. It could be concluded that the experience of families living with mentally ill family members in Thabo-Mofutsanyana district need to be supported. In order to address this support holistically and to enhance quality of life and to lessen the burden the families experience in living with a mentally ill family member, the support should firstly be addressed individually and then as a family. Following that, the collective support can be addressed by a support network system through involvement of the department of health, clinics, rehabilitation centres, community, mental health care workers, giving of medication and establishment support of groups of families living with mental health care users. From these findings the researcher proposed guidelines to support families living with mentally ill family members, and to increase knowledge in these families on how to handle a mentally ill family member. The researcher also compiled recommendations for nursing practice, nursing education and nursing research in families living with mental health care users.

Inadequate, expensive health care services for the chronically ill, confront the lay person as one of the major forces in the social movement toward self-care. The purpose of this predictive correlational study was to investigate within a theoretical framework derived from Orem's conceptual model of nursing relationships among family as a social support system, exercise of self-care agency, and health status for the person with a chronic illness. The sample group was 51 chronically ill adults diagnosed with diabetes mellitus who attended diabetic instructions from one of the Central Indiana Hospitals. Findings indicated a weak positive correlation between self-care and cohesion and weak negative correlation between health status and cohesion. Findings also revealed significant differences between male and female for the variables self-care and conflict.Conclusions were that this study supported certain relationships proposed by Orem's conceptual model in nursing. Results can guide diabetics in providing optimal daily self-care. Professionals in the health care arena can utilize the results for educational development and encouragement of self-care agency in the adult diabetic. The family members can also clarify roles in supporting the diabetic adult.

The family farmers play an important role in the Brazilian agricultural production. However, even though they occupy a prominent position in the agricultural production in Brazil, there are not management techniques specifically suitable to family farmers. Focusing on commercialization and vertical coordination, this dissertation has as main objective the development of management prescriptions related to procurement and marketing activities undertaken by family farmers. Computational simulation, based on System Dynamics methodology, was the main instrument to support procurement and marketing decisions. Interviews with thirty three vegetables family farmers and five of their main suppliers, all located in the region of São Carlos SP, provided the real data for the design of the computational model. The empirical research revealed that family farmers do not plan procurement and marketing appropriately, although they manage to compete with non-family production. The use of governance structures based on trust seems to be the main cause of their survival and success. The simulation based on System Dynamics helped the design of models that represent and help the decision making related the procurement and marketing by family farmers.
A agricultura familiar desempenha um papel importante na produção agropecuária brasileira. No entanto, mesmo ocupando uma posição de destaque na produção agrícola do país, o agricultor familiar não desfruta de ferramentas de gestão adaptadas as suas particularidades, as quais poderiam contribuir para aumentar a eficiência da atividade agrícola. Interessado na gestão da comercialização, este trabalho tem como principal objetivo desenvolver uma ferramenta de gestão capaz de auxiliar o produtor familiar a tomar decisão relacionadas a compra de insumos e venda de produtos. A metodologia de pesquisa adotada foi a simulação computacional, baseada na metodologia de System Dynamics, sendo que o procedimento adotado para a coleta dos dados foi o estudo de caso. Na investigação empírica foram entrevistados trinta e três produtores familiares de hortaliças e cinco de seus principais fornecedores, todos localizados no município de São Carlos SP. Constatou-se que os produtores familiares não planejam adequadamente a compra de insumos e a venda de seus produtos, no entanto, mesmo utilizando práticas gerencias inadequadas eles conseguem sobreviver na atividade, graças, sobretudo, a estrutura de governança baseada em relações de confiança utilizada para coordenar suas transações com fornecedores e clientes. A simulação baseada na metodologia de System Dynamics se mostrou eficiente na construção de modelos que representam e ajudam a resolver as situações-problema relacionadas a atividade agrícola familiar.

The Family Health Strategy (FHS) is focused on family and community, acting through strategies of promotion, prevention, recovery and rehabilitation. Complementing the actions of family health teams, matrix support consists in an organizational arrangement that offers specialized care as much rear of technical and pedagogical support teams and institutional support is intended to facilitate the spaces of co-management and joint teams, enabling the expansion of capacity and facilitating analysis of the process of reflection on the difficulties of everyday life. The need for training of professionals capable of these changes in health services has encouraged the creation and development of Multiprofessional Residences in Health. The Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and the Municipal Health Secretariat of the municipality proposed the insertion of the Multiprofessional Residence in Health Family and Community (RMSFC) in municipal health network, in which residents work in the logic of FHS. The study aimed to understand the interfaces between activities as supporters and the process experienced in training RMSFC UFSCar. This is a qualitative study and by applying via online, a questionnaire with open and closed to graduates of the period 2007-2012 residency program questions, 21 answers to the questionnaire were obtained. Empirical data were examined using thematic analysis and divided into two themes: support and network school. For each theme, two categories were compiled: matrix support as an activity that focuses on care, the organization of the work process as the focus of institutional support, practical learning scenarios theoretical and practical training and theoretical spaces. The matrix support actions related to health care were assigned, while institutional support refers to the organization of the work process, according to the same. The scenario of practical and theoretical learning as well as the use of tools of lifelong education favor the formation of capable workers to collective actions, presenting augmenting elements for both supports, in particular the matrix. It appears, therefore, that the political pedagogical project (PPP) and the organizational arrangement of the residency program were developed and established in order to promote the full learning on the matrix support. The same is not true with respect to institutional support, for which some gaps should be analyzed. However, if the PPP does not endorse this type of support, the management powers of the work contained in assignments and assessments of residents, includes unique elements of the institutional support. In light of the theoretical framework, discusses the importance of integration between the educational institution and the municipal health system, providing residents an apprenticeship in which practice and theory complement each other. Thus it is apparent that, with this approach, fosters the formation of workers to adequate Unified Health System can affirm that there is an interface between the training process experienced in the residence and the practice of both supports listing, Top basement of the matrix support.
A Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) tem como foco a família e a comunidade, atuando mediante estratégias de promoção, prevenção, recuperação e reabilitação. Complementando as ações das equipes de saúde da família, o apoio matricial compõe-se em um arranjo organizacional que oferece retaguarda especializada tanto assistencial quanto de suporte técnico-pedagógico às equipes e o apoio institucional tem o intuito de favorecer os espaços de cogestão e de articulação das equipes, possibilitando a ampliação da capacidade de análise destas e facilitando o processo de reflexão acerca das dificuldades do cotidiano. A necessidade de formação dos profissionais aptos a estas mudanças nos serviços de saúde incentivou a criação e desenvolvimento das Residências Multiprofissionais em Saúde. A Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar) e a Secretaria Municipal de Saúde do município propuseram a inserção da Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde da Família e Comunidade (RMSFC) na rede municipal de saúde, na qual os residentes atuam na lógica da ESF. O estudo objetivou compreender as interfaces entre a atuação como apoiadores e o processo de formação vivenciado na RMSFC da UFSCar. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e por meio da aplicação, via online, de um questionário com perguntas abertas e fechadas aos egressos do programa de residência do período de 2007 a 2012, foram obtidas 21 respostas ao questionário. Os dados empíricos foram examinados utilizando-se a análise temática e divididos em dois temas: apoio e rede escola. Para cada tema foram elaboradas duas categorias: apoio matricial como atividade que privilegia o cuidado, a organização do processo de trabalho como enfoque do apoio institucional, cenários de aprendizagem prática e espaços formativo teóricos e teórico práticos. Ao apoio matricial foram atribuídas ações relacionadas ao cuidado em saúde, enquanto que o apoio institucional refere-se à organização do processo de trabalho, segundo os mesmos. Os cenário de aprendizagem prática e teórica, bem como a utilização de ferramentas da educação permanente favorecem a formação de trabalhadores aptos às ações coletivas, apresentando elementos potencializadores para ambos os apoios, em especial o matricial. Constata-se, portanto, que o projeto político pedagógico (PPP) e o arranjo organizacional do programa de residência foram elaborados e estabelecidos de forma a favorecer o completo aprendizado sobre o apoio matricial. O mesmo não ocorre com relação ao apoio institucional, para o qual algumas lacunas devem ser analisadas. Porém, se o PPP não respalda esta modalidade de apoio, a competência de gestão do trabalho, contida nas atribuições e avaliações dos residentes, apresenta elementos próprios do apoio institucional. À luz do referencial teórico, discute-se a importância da aproximação entre a instituição formadora e a rede municipal de saúde, proporcionando aos residentes um aprendizado no qual a prática e a teoria se complementam. Desta maneira é perceptível que, com essa aproximação, fomenta-se a formação de trabalhadores com o perfil adequado ao Sistema Único de Saúde. Pode-se afirmar que há interface entre o processo de formação vivenciado na residência e a prática de ambos os apoios, com melhor embasamento do apoio matricial.

Parental involvement in rural multigrade schools in South Africa is poor. This is mainly due to a lack of support for and insufficient knowledge regarding the development of a programme that would increase parental involvement at rural multigrade schools in South Africa. The context of multigrade education in South Africa reflects the reality of a lack of parental involvement. South African rural multigrade education is beset by a variety of internal and external challenges which have a detrimental effect on effective parental involvement. However, in the rural multigrade school context, parents have untapped potential that needs to be identified and acted upon in order to empower parents; this could provide the rural marginalised children with meaningful access to quality education. Research has proved that parental involvement has a positive effect on the quality of education. According to research, the six types of parental involvement are parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making and collaborating with the community. In this study the focus was on involving parents in learning and allowing them to become active partners in education. To increase parental involvement in learning at rural multigrade schools in South Africa, an intervention was needed. This intervention came in the form of a school, community and family partnership programme. The core elements of a school, community and family partnership programme (SCAF partnership programme) were the creation of partnerships and communication channels between the school, community and family, as well as the utilisation of existing community resources. These core elements had a specific focus on learning. This study used Bourdieu's (1986) theory on capital and Epstein's (1995) theory of overlapping spheres of influence. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of an effective school, community and family partnership programme that would increase parental involvement in learning at rural multigrade schools in South Africa. Design-based research was employed in order to design, develop and test the proposed programme. Research was conducted in two phases. During the preliminary phase, a needs and content analysis, review of literature, and the development of a conceptual or theoretical framework for the study were conducted. This was followed by a prototyping phase which is an iterative design phase consisting of iterations, each being a micro-cycle of research with formative evaluation as the most important research activity, and which is aimed at improving and refining the intervention. Summative evaluation was conducted during the prototype phase in order to determine whether the solution or intervention met the pre-determined specifications. Data gathered during this study indicated: 1. The SCAF partnership programme can increase parental involvement in learning at rural multigrade schools if certain product and process characteristics are active. 2. The SCAF partnership programme allows utilising school, home and community capital through interaction and collaboration to increase parental involvement in learning. 3. A SCAF partnership programme should focus on learning through creating partnerships and opportunities for communication, and utilising community resources. 4. A SCAF partnership programme should be employed through a specific process. 5. Design research offers an appropriate and powerful approach to design, develop and implement a SCAF partnership programme that increases parental involvement in learning at rural multigrade schools.

Substance abuse and dependence are globally contested issues. In a volatile space, the field is undergoing major changes in terms of decriminalisation and reduction of harm efforts in numerous countries. Despite continued efforts to minimise or even eradicate substance use and abuse, recovery programmes still lack sustainability. Relapse is still common, and there is little in the way of literature explaining how some individuals manage successful sustained recovery. Although the field is undergoing many changes, it appears obvious that society still lacks adequate research and information to guide and motivate sustainable recovery. Family systems are generally experienced as a person’s primary system, and it may be assumed that many people become dependent on their family or family members for varying degrees of support. Systems theory underpinned this qualitative case study, comprising multiple cases, in order to explore the experience of individuals who expressed an interest in their own recovery and, more specifically, to discover whether they viewed family support as an assistive factor in this decision. The study found that although family support did not motivate recovery, it was nevertheless an important factor in continued efforts toward recovery once the individual had made their own decision to commence a recovery programme.

A qualitative study of the experiences and observations of 4 art therapists and 2 program directors who facilitated Camp Suzanne, a week-long art-based therapeutic program for incarcerated mothers and their children in a federal prison in California. Research on psychotherapy, art therapy, and family therapy in prison environments, with a focus on parent-child dyads, Attachment Theory, and various techniques for creating sustainable therapy with separated family units, including tele-mental health and evidence-based military protocols, informed the interviews. The research participants were interviewed individually and created art regarding the subjects of Attachment Theory with incarcerated-mother-child dyads and longevity considerations for the program. Emergent themes in the data included the impact of art-making on attachment and a variety of observable attachment styles, as well as obstacles to both attachment and longevity of Camp Suzanne. Some of the obstacles addressed include systemic challenges, continuity of care, location concerns, external support (for facilitators and for incarcerated-mother-child dyads), as well as preparatory support (psychoeducation). Various implications of these obstacles are discussed.

Esta pesquisa buscou compreender as práticas e o trabalho multiprofissional, além de analisar o impacto da formação profissional, na atuação de profissionais da Psicologia em Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família (NASF) de um município do interior do nordeste do Brasil. Situando-me no campo das pesquisas qualitativas, utilizei duas estratégias de coleta de dados: a entrevista e a etnografia. A hermenêutica foi utilizada como método na interação com os sujeitos pesquisados e na análise dos dados colhidos em campo. Foram realizadas entrevistas com 6 psicólogas e 1 enfermeira atuante como referência do NASF. A etnografia foi realizada com 2 das psicólogas entrevistadas, acompanhando durante alguns meses suas atividades em campo. Todas as psicólogas entrevistadas se inseriram no NASF por indicação política e estavam vinculadas a uma cooperativa de serviços de saúde. Os maiores subsídios para suas atuações no NASF foram obtidos após a realização de suas graduações, através de cursos de pós-graduação e capacitações, além da experiência adquirida pela inserção em outras políticas públicas. Como estas profissionais lidavam semanalmente com 5 unidades de Saúde da Família com perfis diferentes, o processo de adaptação de suas ações era contínuo e desafiador. Elas enfrentavam no seu cotidiano várias formas de precarização do trabalho: vínculo informal e sem garantia de direitos trabalhistas, uma diversidade de dificuldades estruturais e de condições de trabalho. De forma geral, as profissionais desconheciam o significado do conceito de apoio matricial e sua relação com as ações desenvolvidas nos NASF. A maior parte das ações desenvolvidas se concentrava na realização de atendimentos individuais, atividades em grupo, salas de espera e visitas domiciliares. Outras ações eram desenvolvidas (tais como interconsulta e projeto terapêutico singular), mas de maneira pontual. A ênfase de suas ações se dava na dimensão clínico-assistencial do referencial teórico-metodológico do apoio matricial, com poucas ações técnico-pedagógicas sendo desenvolvidas com as equipes de Saúde da Família. Apesar da liberdade de ação e das inúmeras possibilidades de desenvolvimento de um cuidado ampliado e integral, essas profissionais tendiam a reproduzir uma ação próxima de uma lógica ambulatorial clínica tradicional, com poucas inovações em suas práticas e com reduzidas reflexões sobre o impacto de suas ações no âmbito do SUS
This research intended to comprehend multi-professional work and practices, as well as analyze the impact of professional formation in the performance of Psychology professionals in Family Health Support Centers (NASF) of a town in the interior of the northeast region of Brazil. Choosing the field of qualitative research, two strategies for data collection were used: interviews and ethnography. Hermeneutics was used as a method in the interaction with the research subjects and in the analysis of the collected data in the field. Interviews were conducted with six Psychologists and one nurse that was a NASF reference. The ethnography was undertaken with two of the interviewed Psychologists, following their field activities during some months. All the interviewed Psychologists were inserted in NASF through political connections and participated in a Health Services Cooperative. The basis for their performance at NASF was obtained after University graduation, in Post-Graduation courses and training courses, besides the experience acquired by the insertion in other public policies. As these professionals dealt weekly with five Family Health Support Centers with different profiles, the adapting process of their actions was continual and challenging. They faced in their daily routine several forms of precariousness of their labor, such as informal job linkage with no guarantee of working rights and a diversity of structural and working conditions difficulties. In general, the professionals did not know the meaning of the concept of matrix support and its relation to the actions performed in NASF. The majority of the developed actions focused on individual care, group activities, waiting rooms and house visits. Other actions were developed (as interconsultation and single therapeutical project), but only on occasion. The emphasis of the actions was in the assistential-clinical dimension of the theoretical and methodological reference of the matrix support, with few technical-pedagogical actions performed by the Family Health teams. In spite of the freedom of action and the numberless possibilities of developing an amplified and comprehensive care, these professionals tended to reproduce an action close to a traditional ambulatory and clinic logic, with few innovations in their practices and reduced reflections on the impact of their actions in the SUS environment

Annotation:
The Ph.D. project has evolved from focusing on the technical problem of the integration and interoperability of an assemblage of complex systems and SoS within a flight training system to development of a workflow process using frameworks to aid the decision making process for the selection of optimal flight training blending mixes. The focus of the research involved developing a methodology to satisfy research project proposal requirements agreed upon with the industrial sponsor. This thesis investigates the complexity of a modern flight training systems and the need for understanding that it is supported by a complex Family of Systems (FoS) including Virtual Reality Training Environments such as flight simulators, to live training aircraft with various configurations of avionic controls. One of the key technical problems today is how best to develop and assemble a family of flight training system into an integrated Live/Synthetic mix for aircrew training to optimise organisation and training objectives. With the increased use of emulation/synthetic data on aircraft for live training, the synthetic boundary is becoming increasingly blurred. Systematic consideration of the most appropriate blend is needed. The methodology used in the research is model driven and the architecture produced is described at a level of abstraction to enable communication to all stakeholders for the means of understanding the structure involved in the system design process. Relational Oriented Systems Engineering and Technology Trade-Off Analysis (ROSETTA) frameworks are described using Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) techniques for supporting capability based trade-off decisions for selection of optimal flight training FoS mixes dependent on capability. The research proposes a methodology and associated methods including a high-level systematic closed loop information management structure for blended device/tool aircrew training and a modelling and analysis approach for the FoS aviation training problem to enhance the existing training programmes to provide a more efficient and agile training environment. The mathematical formalisms used provide a method of quantifying subjective opinions and judgements for trade studies to be accomplished on the suitability of technology for each student pilot in relation to training and organisational objectives. The methodology presented is by no means a final solution, but a path for further research to enable a greater understanding of the suitability of training tools/technology used to train individual pilots at various stages throughout the training pipeline lifecycle(s).

Australian farmers are supplementing traditional practices with innovative strategies in an effort to survive recent economic, environmental, and social crises in the rural sector. These innovative strategies include moving towards a technology-based farm management style. A review of past literature determines that, despite a growing awareness of the usefulness of computers for farm management, there is concern over the limited demand for computer-based agricultural decision support systems (DSS). Recent literature indicates that women are the dominant users of computers on family farms yet are hesitant to use computers for decision support, and it is also unclear what decision-making roles women assume on family farms. While past research has investigated the roles of women in the Australian rural sector, there is a dearth of research into the interaction of women cotton growers with computers. Therefore, this dissertation is an ontological study and aims to contribute to scholarly knowledge in the research domain of Australian women cotton growers, agricultural DSS, and cotton farm management. This dissertation belongs in the Information Systems (IS) stream and describes an interpretive single case study which explores the lives of Australian women cotton growers on family farms and the association of an agricultural DSS with their farm management roles. Data collection was predominantly through semi-structured interviews with women cotton growers and cotton industry professionals such as DSS developers, rural extension officers, researchers and educators, rural experimental scientists, and agronomists and consultants, all of whom advise cotton growers. The study was informed by multiple sociological theories with opposing paradigmatic assumptions: Giddens' (1984) structuration theory as a metatheory to explore the recursiveness of farm life and technology usage; Rogers' (1995) diffusion of innovations theory with a functionalist approach to objectively examine the features of the software and user, as well as the processes of technology adoption; and Connell's (2002) theory of gender relations with its radical humanist perspective to subjectively investigate the relationships between farm partners through critical enquiry. The study was enriched further by drawing on other writings of these authors (Connell 1987; Giddens 2001; Rogers 2003) as well as complementary theories by authors (Orlikowski 1992; Orlikowski 2000; Trauth 2002; Vanclay & Lawrence 1995). These theories in combination have not been used before, which is a theoretical contribution of the study. The agricultural DSS for the study was CottonLOGIC, an advanced farm management tool to aid the management of cotton production. It was developed in the late 1990s by the CSIRO and the Australian Cotton Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), with support from the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC). CottonLOGIC is a software package of decision support and record-keeping modules to assist cotton growers and their advisors in the management of cotton pests, soil nutrition, and farm operations. It enables the recording and reporting of crop inputs and yields, insect populations (heliothis, tipworm, mirids and so on), weather data, and field operations such as fertiliser and pesticide applications, as well as the running of insect density prediction (heliothis and mites) and soil nutrition models. The study found that innovative practices and sustainable solutions are an imperative in cotton farm management for generating an improved triple bottom line of economic, environmental and social outcomes. CottonLOGIC is an industry benchmark for supporting these values through the incorporation of Best Management Practices (BMP) and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, although there were indications that the software is in need of restructuring as could be expected of software over five years old. The evidence from the study was that women growers are participants in strategic farm decisions but less so in operational decisions, partly due to their lack of relevant agronomic knowledge. This hindered their use of CottonLOGIC, despite creative attempts to modify it. The study endorsed the existence of gender differences and inequalities in rural Australia. Nevertheless, the study also found that the women are valued for their roles as business partners in the multidisciplinary nature of farm management. All the same, there was evidence that greater collaboration and cooperation by farm partners and advisors would improve business outcomes. On the whole, however, women cotton growers are not passive agents but take responsibility for their own futures. In particular, DSS tools such as CottonLOGIC are instrumental in enabling women cotton growers to adapt to, challenge, and influence farm management practices in the family farm enterprise, just as CottonLOGIC is itself shaped and reshaped. Hence, a practical contribution of this study is to provide non-prescriptive guidelines for the improved adoption of agricultural DSS, particularly by rural women, as well as increasing awareness of the worth of their roles as family farm business partners.

Annotation:

This qualitative, descriptive case study explored the social learning process within complex systems as described by product support managers (PSMs) assigned to acquisition programs within the Naval Air Systems Command. The research questions asked how individuals, as influenced by their values and structure, shape their interactions and behavior in a complex environment. Nine PSMs for major acquisition and sustainment programs were referred by senior leaders and participated in the study.

Data were collected through in-depth interviews that were transcribed to capture the PSMs’ experiences and then synthesized into contextual and social learning profiles. The findings resulted in seven themes. (1) PSMs operate in complex, dynamic, and variably resourced environments that are highly dependent on interaction and result in uniquely executed programs. (2) The highly structured environment and functionally oriented structure diminish the authority of the individual and present barriers to interaction. (3) The highly structured and boundary-rich environment limits information flow and presents difficulty in communication and developing routines that align meanings, value orientations, and shared understanding across those boundaries. (4) PSMs attempt to adjust, increase, and routinize interactions but often react to emerging needs with limited authority and resources, which often leaves short-term and least helpful alternatives. (5) PSMs leverage key relationships as bridges of information but often receive limited feedback to resolve short-term issues to complete tasks. (6) PSMs are aligned with organizational goals and values to improve user outcomes and speed of delivering products, but there is value incongruency between expectations and what they want to do to achieve those outcomes. (7) PSMs experience role ambiguity, as they are torn between how much they want to develop the team and interactions versus becoming an expert and accomplishing tasks.

The study concluded that PSMs are effectively leveraging different operating system views to maximize the variety of the small alternatives they have; countering the power of the system through meaning making, developing their unique abilities (as well as their team’s) and trying to reduce their isolation; and increasing the available space for social learning to make progress through trial and error and satisficing.

Supportive relationships have been found to be very beneficial for health and well-being. However, amongst alcohol dependent individuals, family support is often low, as alcohol abuse can pose a barrier between the individual and his or her family. The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of how adult children experienced providing social support to a parent with alcohol abuse problems or recovering from alcohol addiction. To conceptualize the study, Bowen's Family Systems Theory was used, which highlights the impact that alcohol abuse has on a family as a whole, and that it does not solely affect the individual who is addicted to alcohol. Participants were selected using convenience sampling. Adopting a qualitative approach, the researcher conducted individual semi-structured interviews in which participants were students between the ages of 25 and 38 years. The qualitative interviews were transcribed verbatim and transcriptions were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).Ethical clearance was obtained from the University of the Western Cape Higher Degrees Committee. Informed consent for conducting this research study was obtained from the University of the Western Cape (UWC) and Kensington Treatment Centre (KTC) as well as from participants. The consent forms indicate that only the researcher and the researcher's supervisor have access to the data obtained. The researcher pledged confidentiality and adherence to ethical rules and regulations. The researcher ensured that participant anonymity was not compromised upon analysis of the data. The study found that parental alcohol abuse has negative effects on the support provider's well-being and their involvement in the parent-child relationship. Effects included feelings of anger and shame; giving in to peer pressure; engaging in substance use and risky sexual behaviours; distancing themselves emotionally; and keeping secrets. Furthermore, participants also experienced social alienation; emotional and sexual abuse; and a fragmentation of the parent-child relationship.

The overall objective of the thesis was to investigate how older family caregivers in rural areas experienced participation in an e-health based caregiver support system. Participants were 95 caregivers allocated to intervention group (n=63) and control group (n=32). The thesis had a mixed method design and is based on four original articles (I-IV). Data was collected through web-camera interviews (I-III), telephone interviews (II,IV) and questionnaires (II,IV) after 1.5 years of using e-health support. Quantitative data was analyzed using comparative statistics, multiple linear regression and logistic regression. Qualitative data was analyzed with content analysis. Article I showed that the caregivers, despite lacking experience from using computers, were able to adopt the new technology, with help from support nurses and family. Caregivers felt e-health helped them to regain social inclusion. Article II had a comparative design, comparing e-health support with conventional caregiver support. Caregivers using e-health were more satisfied with their support and found it to be available, flexible and helping them enhance caregiver competence. Control group caregivers were less satisfied with support and experienced unmet needs. Article III showed that e-health can reduce caregivers’ feelings of isolation. Two themes were created, Expanding the concept of place and Developing networks. Article IV revealed that caregivers used e-health frequently, experienced benefits from using it and had become more independent. Support nurses were disappointed about the decrease in contact with caregivers, and also acknowledged a need for developing the professional nursing role while working with e-health. Conclusions drawn from the findings were that participants experienced benefits from e-health support and it helped them become more independent. Swedish municipalities are obliged to provide caregiver support, the findings from the study are valid to conclude that e-health support are as good as, or even more effective, than conventional support for older family caregivers in rural areas.
Det övergripande syftet vara att undersöka hur äldre anhörigvårdare på landsbygden upplevde att få anhörigstöd via en e-hälsa-tjänst. Avhandlingen hade en mixed method design och bestod av fyra originalarbeten (I-IV). Deltagare i studien var 95 personer, boendes i gles- och landsbygdsområden, som i det egna hemmet vårdade en make eller maka med kronisk sjukdom. Deltagarna var fördelade på interventionsgrupp (n=63) och kontrollgrupp (n=32). Datainsamling skedde efter 1.5 års användning av e-anhhörigstödet, genom web-kamera intervjuer (I-III), telefonintervjuer (II,IV) och frågeformulär (II,IV). Kvantitativa data analyserades genom komparativ statistik, multipel linjär regression och logistisk regression. Kvalitativa data analyserades med innehållsanalys. Artikel I visade att anhörigvårdarna, även om de inte hade någon vana av datorer sedan tidigare, kunde lära sig och bli användare av den teknik och utrustning som ingick i e-anhörigstödet, när de fick hjälp och stöd av anhörigstödjare eller andra. Anhörigvårdarna upplevde att e-anhörigstödet hjälpte dem att återfå social delaktighet. Artikel II hade en komparativ design och jämförde e-anhörigstöd med traditionellt anhörigstöd. De som använde e-anhörigstödet var nöjda med stödet i högre utsträckning än de som fick traditionellt stöd. E-anhörigstödet upplevdes som tillgänglig, flexibelt samt bidrog till att de utvecklade sin kompetens i vårdandet. Kontrollgruppen var mindre nöjd med sitt stöd samt upplevde att de hade behov som inte tillgodoseddes av stödet. Artikel III visade att e-anhörigstöd kan minska anhörigvårdares upplevelse av isolering, dels genom att de upplevde en känsla av att vara på andra platser fast de rent fysiskt befann sig i hemmet, dels genom att de utvecklade sociala nätverk. Artikel IV visade att anhörigvårdarna ofta använde e-anhörigstödet och att de upplevde nytta av att använda det. De blev också mer självständiga vilket ledde till färre kontakter med anhörigstödspersonalen. Personalen kände viss besvikelse över att kontakterna iv med anhöriga minskade och uttryckte att den professionella omvårdnads-rollen behöver utvecklas när e-hälsa införs och tillämpas i vård- och omsorgsarbete. Slutsatser som drogs från fynden i avhandlingen var att anhörigvårdarna hade stor nytta av att använda e-anhörigstöd samt att det hjälpte dem att bli mer självständiga, vilket reducerade deras behov av kontakt med kommunernas anhörigstöd. Sveriges kommuner har en skyldighet enligt lag att tillhandahålla anhörigstöd, med stöd av fynden från den här studien kan man dra slutsatsen att e-anhörigstöd kan fungera lika bra som, ibland till och med effektivare än, traditionellt anhörigstöd.

The purpose of the dissertation is to construct an integrated conceptual model of crises intervention for Gikuyu people that would effectively inform the conceptualization of the nature, the methods employed and the purpose of utilizing traditional Gikuyu families and Christian resources for crises intervention. It will also inform the values for integration and the usefulness of systems and the crisis theories for the construction of the model for the Gikuyu. Moreover, the dissertation will report the significance of Christian pastoral resources and the relation to Gikuyu. The model is a strategy in the attempt to revive some of the distorted Gikuyu people's values of family unity (belongingness), which was their norm for intervening into family crises. Family values of unity for the Gikuyu suffered distortion over the years of the Christian missionary work to the Gikuyu in the nineteenth century. The model is limited for use in the Presbyterian Church in Kenya. However, other churches serving Gikuyu people are welcome to use it. The study is intended to be a foundation for the development of authentic literature, focusing upon new approaches toward crises intervention for Gikuyu, intended to mobilize families systems, Christian resources, and other networking systems for better work of crisis intervention. From the systems and the crisis perspectives, the study examines the usefulness of systems and the crisis theories for their relevancy in developing a model of crises intervention for Gikuyu families. It examines the viability of correlation between traditional Gikuyu families resources and the Christian resources, examining how each one is related to the other. The term 'crisis intervention' refers to the usefulness and the effect of the work of correlating resources from the two perspectives. Correlation is the criteria for determining the interdependence of the two sources of intervention. The term 'model' refers to the proposed methods of approaches utilized in reviving values of families interdependency, unity, and belongingness. The term 'differentiation of self' informs the need for family members and significant others to work together for better working crisis, while each maintains individual unique abilities of differentiating intellectual decision-making from those of families emotional fusion. The dissertation uses two methods. The first method is founded on the concepts of families systems and the crisis theories for the construction of an effective model of crisis intervention for the Gikuyu and informing the reasons for its use. Second is the method of correlation which is a theological application to the action of mobilizing and utilizing the traditional Gikuyu resources together with Christian Gikuyu resources. In this second method Christ becomes the common norm of correlation for the purpose of liberation and the giving of hope to the individual and families in crisis. Moreover, through the theological method the integration of the model is accomplished. Before examining the usefulness of systems and crisis theories for analyzing data from the case study of illness, the history of the Gikuyu is examined. The purpose of the history is to inform the guidelines to which this model of crisis intervention should respond. For clarification purposes, these guidelines are the origin of the Gikuyu people, the nature of their corporate living; and the kinship governing principles. As part of the historical motivation of this dissertation, the role which was played by the social protest of the Gikuyu against Europeans and the missionaries is also examined. The protest was a symbol of dissatisfaction of the Gikuyu upon the mistreatment and the abuse of family values. The dissertation has several illustrations of crises intervention based on various concepts of family therapy which include: Uri Rueveni in networking families in crises, Murry Bowen's eight interlocking ideas of family therapy, Edward Wimberly's theory of pastoral care of the Black Church, and also the work of Nancy Boyd-Franklin in multisystems approach to family therapy. In concluding this study, it has been found that Gikuyu family and relational systems can be mobilized to resolve crises within the systems. It has also been discovered that the implication for further research is viable through the analyzing and the questioning of the claims in the data provided in this dissertation.

Teenage parenting is recognised as one of the greatest health and social problems in South Africa. Research in South Africa has shown that by the age of 18 years, more than 30% of teens have given birth at least once. Teen mothers may feel disempowered because they are ‘othered’ and consequently, may develop forms of resistance which in most cases may inhibit their ability to parent. Social support is therefore, an imperative intervention for successful teen parenting. Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological systems theory proposes that social support could be considered to reside within the microsystem of the model if the developing person is the teen mother. The aim of this study was to compare social support of different family forms and establish whether a relationship between single teen mothers’ parental efficacy and social support exists across the different family forms. This study used a quantitative methodology with a cross-sectional comparative correlation design. The sample consisted of N = 160 single teen mothers who reside with her family for a period of one year or is currently residing with her family or members thereof, in low socio-economic communities. The participants completed a self-report questionnaire that comprised of the Social Provisions Scale (SPS), and the Parenting Sense of Competence (PSOC) scale. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation were used to investigate the data. Outcomes of the study indicated that a significant positive relationship between social support and parental efficacy existed. These findings are important for planning and applying parenting programmes amongst single teen mothers and facilitating awareness regarding the importance of social support and family forms when considering parenting practices.

This project explored the way working mothers cope with home, work, family demands as well as self-care. It mainly focused on the balance they have been able to achieve in their lives as working women, wife, and mothers. This study used qualitative research to examine the challenges these women face in their working and personal lives, the support systems they rely on to fulfill their multiple roles, and the strategies and coping skills they utilize to maintain work and family life balance. This study used an interview format with a qualitative method based. In this approach, primarily open-ended questions were used. The major focus was to explore and then compared participants’ responses to those questions. This method was chosen because it allows for a comparison of different experiences of a common topic The challenges discussed by the working women included: (a) work schedule, (b) time constraints and (c) exhaustion. The participants relied on the following support systems to fulfill their multiple roles: (a) husbands, (b) grandparent and family, (c) co-workers, and (d) bosses. Finally, the strategies the working women used to achieve work/family balance included (a) planning, (c) faith, and (d) accepting limitations.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the dynamics of family support and public pension systems, and their impact on late-life happiness in contemporary South Korea. For this, three specific research questions, namely (1) the dynamics of intergenerational solidarity, public pension systems, and happiness; (2) the association between intergenerational solidarity and happiness; and (3) the association between public pension systems and happiness, are analysed by exploiting the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing. The analyses show that (1) the structural solidarity of older people is relatively stronger than of middle-aged people; (2) contacting is the key player in associational solidarity in later life; (3) middle-aged people supply more financial aid to their adult children than they receive from them, but the reverse applies to older people. Both middle-aged and older people actively exchange food, household items, and health-care supplies; (4) more older men receive the National Pension Scheme benefit than older women but the reverse is true for the Basic Old-Age Pension benefit; (5) the level of happiness in later life is very high but decreases as people age; (6) the number of adult children, frequency of contact, and amount of financial support are positively associated with the happiness of older people; and (7) the National Pension Scheme is positively associated with the happiness of older men while the Basic Old-Age Pension is negatively associated with the happiness of older people. The results suggest some policy implications for late-life happiness in contemporary South Korea. At the individual level, increased frequency of contact, availability of the children, and the amount of financial support can enhance late-life happiness. At the governmental level, the research suggests that the gendered structure of the National Pension Scheme and means-tested structure of the Basic Old-Age Pension should be reformed.

Public policy has been shifting from child abuse and neglect (CAN) intervention toward prevention, using public health style frameworks, which emphasize shared community and legislative responsibilities to support families (Browne, 2014; CDC, 2014). Analysis of qualitative data from statewide focus groups held in 2019 in Alabama with 99 community-based CAN prevention workers shows strengths in community collaboration, but also, struggles to help families meet basic needs because of lack of community resources, such as transportation and quality child care, and other barriers, including stigma. The results demonstrate confusion between prevention, which is intended to build family resilience to avert crisis, and intervention, meant to reunite families after child protection services involvement. We recommend researchers consistently link CAN research to prevention frameworks so as to build meaningful understanding how to create better prevention programs. Future practitioners should understand prevention, and be prepared to document their work so as to demonstrate need.

Attachment and family systems theories provided a framework for examining parental structure and support and adolescent delinquency, substance abuse, peer relations, and self-esteem. Three parent scales: support, watchfulness and decidedness, and eight adolescent outcome variables assessing self-esteem, peer relations, and risk-behaviors were derived from the National Educational Longitudinal Study. The sample of 16,749 adolescents was diverse regarding race and ethnicity. All participants were in the tenth grade in the first wave and continued participation in the second wave two years later.

Parental support was hypothesized to be associated with increased self-esteem, positive peer relationships and reduced risk behaviors. Although the research findings support the hypothesis for each of the adolescent variables, support was most related to adolescent self-esteem and peer alienation, consistent with an attachment schema. The hypothesis that parental watchfulness is linked to a reduction in adolescent high-risk behaviors was not supported. Instead, watchfulness was linked to self-esteem and peer alienation. These findings indicate that watchfulness, similar to support, is more related to internal processes rather than a mechanism for controlling behavior. Parental decidedness is associated with lower risk behaviors along with lower self-esteem and greater susceptibility to peer alienation. This construct, in contrast to support and watchfulness, presents a different direction of influence depending on the adolescent outcome. The direction of influence of decidedness is negative for self-esteem and peer relations and positive for adolescent risk reduction. The overall research findings indicate that high amounts of support and watchfulness are related to the most positive outcomes for adolescent self-esteem and peer relations. In contrast, the effect of parental decidedness was less salutary for self-esteem and peer relations. In summary, conclusions from this research have implications for theory and practice. For theory, the understanding of specific linkages between these parenting constructs and adolescent outcomes is advanced in this research. These linkages have implication for extensions and modifications of attachment and family systems theories. For practice, the findings suggest refinement in contemporary parent education and clinical work with families.

The purpose of this study has been to investigate how psychosocial support for families where a parent suffers from a life threatening illness can be constructed. The intent was also to explore how the child's perspective is protected and what barriers and opportunities there are for family oriented support. The study has a qualitative approach and includes interviews with four social workers. The interviews were analyzed with a systems theory and attachment theory. The conclusions are that the whole family suffers psychological and social pressures when a parent is sick. The psychosocial support is given individually and to the family as a unit to help them deal with their changed life situation and facilitate subsequent grieving. An important aspect of the support is psycho education to parents and children, which aims to increase the understanding of the situation, their individual and each others' reactions. The social workers stress that it’s important to establish contacts in the family’s private network and support agencies in the community.

It falls under the medical mission to offer support to relatives and it includes a responsibility to inform and support the child based on individual circumstances. However, there seems to exist a variation and uncertainty about its nature and extent. Therefore professionals need to be aware of the importance of highlighting the child’s needs and support families.

It has been accepted that in order to maximize the educational growth of a child, the student should experience instruction in a consistent, uninterrupted fashion. Children who are disruptive, act-out, or otherwise obstruct the flow of knowledge may encounter problems when they must build upon information not learned at an earlier time. Students who frequently complain to their teachers of health issues or are sent to the nurse repeatedly, may suffer because of this break in their learning experiences. This research is directed toward exploring possible variables that may set children who frequent the nurse (Seekers of Nurse Support or S.O.N.S.) and their parents apart from a matched group of control children and their parents.;Ten elementary schools were selected as being representative of the population from an urban Virginia school system. Children who frequented the school nurse more than three times per week were given the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS) and the Moos Family Environment Scale (FES) as were control children who were matched by age, sex, ethnicity and grade. The school system's Standards of Learning test (SOL) was used as the measure of achievement. The parents of the S.O.N.S. and the controls were interviewed using the Personality Inventory for Children (PIC) and the FES.;The t-test and Tukey's Quick Test were performed on the achievement measures and found no difference between the groups. The FES showed a significant difference between the groups regarding conflict, with the control group being more overt and demonstrative in their expression. No significant differences were seen between the two groups of students on their degree of anxiety.;The PIC showed significant differences in achievement, anxiety, hyperactivity and the lie scale. A discriminant analysis was performed on the four significant subtests and proved capable of separating the two groups of students.;There appears to be support for the hypothesis that there are family variables present which impact on the students who show an over-concern with health issues. The number of significant variables noted was not as large as hypothesized, but due to the exploratory nature of the project they were of interest. (Abstract shortened with permission of author.).

This dissertation concerns the family context of self-determination in adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) during life transitions. Although self-determination is interpreted in different ways in different disciplines, the construct is frequently used to describe the attitudes and behaviours that allow people to feel autonomous and causal in their lives. Research on self-determination in adolescents and adults with ID has commonly occurred in community and special education sectors, with an emphasis on arranging supports for people with ID to develop component self-determination skills, like choice making, problem solving, and goal setting. From the perspective of organismic-dialectical theories, people develop and express self-determination through relationships and person-environment interactions at multiple system levels. Further research on the way family interactions and supports influence the self-determination of adults with ID is important. To address this need, this dissertation includes a qualitative study presented in two manuscripts and a quantitative study presented in one manuscript. The qualitative study explored processes and challenges in the family system during significant life transitions with an adult family member with ID. Families participated in semi-structured interviews and ethnographic observations of daily activities every three to four months for one year. Manuscript 1 concerns the influence of family processes on the self-determination of two young adults with ID as they attained adult roles in the community. Parents were observed to model goal setting, encourage choice making, and scaffold new skills, which helped the young adults with ID to experience autonomous motivation in their transitions. Parents reported feeling unsure of the best way to promote their adult child’s independence while ensuring his or her safety. They tried to resolve this dilemma with open and honest communication. Most interestingly, families collaborated in choice making to the extent that every family member perceived autonomy in transition planning and implementation. Manuscript 2 concerns the influence of transition processes and challenges on the quality of life and resilience of four families with an adult family member with ID. Although families reported different transition types, they progressed through similar transition stages. They invested in quality of life and self-determination as a foundation, considered future support needs, pre-planned and actively planned transitions, implemented transitions, adjusted to new roles and routines, and reflected upon their growth. Although all families experienced challenges during their transitions, two families entered a state of crisis when they did not receive mental health and residential supports. Findings highlight that transitions are lifelong processes in the family system, and risk and protective factors at multiple system levels affect resilience and self-determination. The quantitative study, presented in Manuscript 3, considers that the family system functions within broader socioecological environments that include formal services for adults with ID. Community participation supports provide opportunities to develop self-determination in recreational, educational, and vocational activities. In a cohort of families requesting community participation supports, the vast majority of parents endorsed the expectation that this service would improve choice-making outcomes for their adult child with ID. Preliminary results suggest that the gender and prior choice-making experience of the adult with ID may be associated with the odds of parents endorsing this expectation. The General Discussion integrates the primary findings from each manuscript within a conceptual framework informed by self-determination theory, family systems theory, and family resilience models. This dissertation has theoretical implications for the way the self-determination construct is understood and applied in research with families with a family member with ID. Further, this dissertation reveals practical implications for supporting families with a family member with ID during important life transitions.

Title:  Will you cope, without your family? – The importance of support for youths who are subject to honour related violence.   The aim of this study has been to examine which support has been given to the youths who have been subjected to honour related violence and their experiences about the support. The data were collected through four semi-structured, qualitative interviews with youths who had separated from their families. The result showed that according to an intersectional perspective the individual needs should dictate the support offered and that honour related violence is a complex problem. System theory, shows us that it is important to belong to a family system, whether it is biological or not – is of less importance. The social services and the foster homes are important for the youths in their efforts to cope without their families Based on the results, our conclusion is that many need a lot of therapy in order to return to a “normal life”.
Orkar du, utan din familj? – Betydelsen av stödinsatser till ungdomar som är utsatta för hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck. Studiens syfte var att undersöka vilket stöd, ungdomar som blivit utsatta för hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck (HRV), fått samt deras upplevelse av detta. Data samlades in genom fyra semistrukturerade, kvalitativa intervjuer med ungdomar som har haft ett uppbrott från sin biologiska familj. Resultatet visade att enligt intersektionellt perspektiv bör individuella behov styra det erbjudna stödet och att HRV är ett komplext problem. Systemteorin ger oss förståelse för familjens betydelse och vikten av att tillhöra ett familjesystem, biologiskt eller inte är av mindre betydelse. Både socialtjänsten och familjehemmen är viktiga för ungdomarna i deras strävan att orka utan sina familjer. Utifrån resultatet är vår slutsats att det för många krävs mycket samtalsstöd för att återgå till ett ”normalt liv”.

This research study employs a strengths perspective. This means that, instead of the traditional deficits or pathology-based approach of focusing on weaknesses, the focus is on positive outcomes. Fortitude, more specifically, is the strength gained from appraising oneself, one&rsquo
s family, and one&rsquo
s social support, in a positive manner. This strength equips people to cope successfully in stressful situations. Fortitude as a construct in the strengths perspective promises to give insight into student success because it takes more than one level of analysis into account. The current research study investigates whether there is a link between fortitude and academic achievement in first year students at the University of the Western Cape.
