Full textAbstract:
From a legal and psychological standpoint, this article examines some aspects involved in adoption, including the effects of the alterations made to the Statute of Children and Adolescents by the National Adoption Law. It verifies whether or not the Law accelerated the performance of adoption processes. This paper is based on bibliographic searches and statistics from Rio Grande do Sul. Results show that the Law was innovative in many aspects but ceased to tackle others, such as adoption by homosexuals. Proceedings have become more bureaucratic, and the number of adoptions in the state, according to the records, remains insignificant. The New Law has not yet achieved its objective of accelerating the adoption process. Institutional sheltering, which should be temporary, at times becomes permanent, which contradicts the right of children/adolescents to family life and results in significant psychological damage to them.

Full textAbstract:
Research conducted in 2018 documented the disaster experiences of 56 women and men in Australia aged between 18 and 93 years. This paper draws out the gendered factors that affected their resilience, and in so doing, begins to address the dearth of research related to gendered aspects of long-term disaster resilience. It is unique in capturing the voices of survivors who spoke of events 9 years after the 2009 Black Saturday fires and of earlier fires and floods in Victoria more than 50 years ago, including the 1983 Ash Wednesday fires. Over decades, gendered expectations of men and women significantly hindered resilience. Men spoke of the long-term cost to them of demands to ‘be strong’ in the worst of disasters and reasons they were reluctant to seek help afterwards. Women spoke of their contributions holding a lesser value and of discrimination. Discussions of violence against women and children after disaster, and suicide ideation in anticipation of future disasters offered critical insights. Protective factors identified by informants were not wholly intrinsic to their character but were also physical, such as essential resources provided in the immediate aftermath, and psychological and community support offered in the long-term. Factors that helped resilience departed from the ‘masculine’ model of coping post-disaster by moving away from a refusal to admit trauma and suffering, to community-wide resilience bolstered by widespread emotional, social and psychological support. Genuine community planning for disasters before they strike builds trust and offers insights for emergency management planners.

Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the factors influencing the adoption of cloud services. Prior research on the Diffusion Theory usually focuses on innovation attributes and lacks psychological dynamics. This study integrates both the innovation mechanism and psychological mechanism. Gender differences are examined. The survey results discover that relative advantage and observability are important antecedents of cloud services adoption. New technology self-efficacy is also an important predictor of cloud services adoption. The theoretical contribution of this model is its provision of a detailed account of the key forces from the perspective of innovation mechanism and psychological mechanisms underpinning the assessment of adoption intention. It also advances our knowledge that men and women react differently in making cloud usage decisions. Results of the current study indicate that both genders put the emphasis on the utilitarian aspects of cloud services. This study also provides useful suggestions for policy makers and cloud services providers in formulating strategies to enhance cloud services popularity.

Smith, Burston Helen K. "Heartlines : a novel and, A study of the cultural context of adoption between 1950 and 1980 with particular, but not exclusive, reference to the Australian birth mother and her relinquished child : an accompanying essay." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2006. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/329.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with the loss experienced by all participants in adoption, especially during the period 1950 to 1980 and with particular, but not exclusive, reference to the birth mother and her child. The work is in two parts, the first being a contemporary novel, 'Heartlines', written in the form of a fictional memoir from the point of view of a woman in her early forties who suddenly is confronted with the daughter she relinquished twenty years previously, and whose existence she has kept secret from her husband. The novel deals with the difficult relationship that develops between mother ann daughter and the adjustments the main character must make in her realisation that the young woman who has come back into her life is not the person she had imagined her to be during the years since she was forced to give her up for adoption. Part Two is an essay that puts into context the cultural background of the period studied, the stigmatisation of women who bore ex-nuptial children and how the society in which they lived left them few options other than to abandon their infants to strangers. It deals with the consequences for young women following a lapse of judgement that would have repercussions for the rest of their lives. Many of the women who relinquished babies during the period are believed to have suffered post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of their experience, and remained in an ongoing state of pathological grief.

Full textAbstract:
Few efforts have been made to understand the subjective experiences of birthparents involved in the child welfare system, especially of those who have had their parental rights permanently removed. The research undertaken seeks an initial investigation of this neglected issue, providing accounts of four birthmothers' experiences of having one or more of their children involuntarily and permanently removed from their care as a result of child neglect. Implicit in this research is the assumption that these mothers do indeed suffer tremendous grief over the loss of their children, regardless of child welfare agencies' assessments of their parenting capacities. Furthermore, the research critically evaluates how child welfare practice and policy might serve to exacerbate incumbent issues of loss, ultimately disenfranchising this already isolated and stigmatized population. Therefore, this qualitative study endeavours to assist not only child protection workers, but also the greater community in better understanding what it is like to be a "child welfare parent" who has had her parental rights terminated, and to be aware of the existing imbalance of power between child welfare agencies and the clientele they serve. The study ultimately aims to help ensure that human dignity and genuine respect are not lost in the work of child protection.

Full textAbstract:
The intent of this study was to gain an appreciation for the experiences of mothers whose parental rights have been permanently severed through child welfare court orders of Crown Wardship with No Access. The study utilized an explorative, qualitative design approach and included semi-structured, in-depth interviews with four women. Participant text and found poetry presented the voice of mothers, something not often the focus in the child welfare literature. Themes of betrayal, loss, anger, and disenfranchised grief were reported in the research findings. The role of the social worker emerged as an important factor influencing the mothers. This study found that mothers need acknowledgment for their losses and support for their grief. Consideration for social work implications and further research are also discussed.

Full textAbstract:
A desire to more fully understand the impact of altered states of spiritual health on the general health of patients has been a focus of recent research activity. Studies have explored the meaning of spirituality held by patients and nurses, the spiritual needs of patients, and methods of providing spiritual care in nursing. However, few studies have investigated nurses’ own spiritual health and the significance this may have on the provision of holistic nursing care. The aim of this study, therefore, was to inform nursing regarding the spiritual health of nurses and the influence that nurses’ own spiritual health has on their ability to provide holistic nursing care to their patients. The study was conducted in two phases using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Phase one consisted of a survey of Division 1 nurses currently employed in the Grampians region of Victoria to describe key dimensions of their spiritual health. This survey provided biographical data and, through the use of the “Shalom Measure of Spiritual Health”, discovered the ideal of spiritual health held by nurses as well as the nurses’ perception of patient needs pertaining to the achievement of spiritual health. Phase two utilised Naturalistic Inquiry to further explore the meaning of spirituality and spiritual health held by nurses, and the methods of achieving these for nurses and patients. The findings revealed that although nurses perceive the spiritual dimension of patient care to be important, they feel ill-equipped to provide this aspect of care. In addition, the major support for nurses, who themselves experience spiritual distress whilst at work, comes from colleagues. Further, prevailing health care systems in place do not always lend themselves to holistic approaches to care. This study identifies the need for nurse education to redress the clearly inadequate preparation nurses are given for this aspect of their role. Health care policy-makers and administrators also have a responsibility to consider all dimensions of care when designing and implementing health care guidelines and systems.Master of Nursing

Full textAbstract:
A entrada da mulher no mercado de trabalho cada vez mais freqüente; o incremento de novas configurações familiares diferentes da família nuclear intacta; o fortalecimento
das relações horizontais são alguns dos fenômenos sociais da contemporaneidade que chamam a atenção para uma forma duradoura de relacionar-se dentro do sistema familiar, que constitui a fratria. Por outro lado, um tema bastante atual, que mobiliza a atenção de vários segmentos sociais, é a adoção. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar as relações estabelecidas entre os componentes do subsistema fraterno, tenham elas sido constituídas de forma biológico adotiva ou exclusivamente por adoção. Participaram 16 pessoas, divididas entre pré-adolescentes, jovens e adultos, de ambos os sexos, com idade a partir dos dez anos, que responderam a uma entrevista semidirigida focada na chegada do irmão adotivo na família. A entrevista foi transcrita e teve seus conteúdos organizados por temas. No grupo de pré-adolescentes percebemos que as meninas demonstraram mais capacidade de acolhimento e propensão ao cuidado. As fratrias constituídas unicamente por adoção, em geral, apresentaram menos conflitos que as biológico-adotivas. Observamos também, nas duas formas de constituição de fratria, a presença de sentimentos de mútua responsabilidade e cuidado entre os irmãos, em que pese referências a momentos de ciúme, conflitos e competição. Esperamos que
profissionais e organizações que lidam com a temática da adoção usufruam desta pesquisa, bem como profissionais que trabalham com crianças, adolescentes e famílias. Outrossim, esperamos que ela possa contribuir para a remissão de alguns mitos que cercam a adoção, apontando para uma maior sensibilização social de que esta é uma possibilidade de construção de vínculos familiares tão saudáveis quanto os biológicosThe entry of women into the market much more frequent; the development of new family configurations different from intact nuclear family; the strengthening of horizontal relationships are some of the contemporary social phenomena that focus on a lasting basis to relate to within of the family system, which is the fratrias. Furthermore, a very current issue, which attracts the attention of various social groups, is the adoption. The objective of this research was to investigate the relationship between the constituents in the fraternity, have they been established in biological or adoptive only by adoption. Sixteen people participated, divided between children, pre-adolescents and young adults of both sexes, aged from ten years, which responded to an interview focused on the arrival of the adoptive brother in the family. The interview was transcribed and their content was organized by themes. In the group of children and preadolescent we found that girls have most reception capacity and willingness to care. The fratrias consist solely of adoption had less conflicts then biological-adoptive. We also observed that in two ways to set up fratrias, the presence of feelings of mutual responsibility and care between brothers, in spite of references to moments of jealousy, conflict and competition. We hope that professionals and organizations which dealing with the issue of adoption could be benefited of this research data as well as professionals that work with children, adolescents and families. Also, we hope that it can contribute to the remission of some myths surrounding the adoption, pointing to a greater social awareness that it is a possibility of construction of family as healthy as the organic

Full textAbstract:
Do ponto de vista psicológico, nem sempre a adoção configura-se como uma solução para o problema do abandono. Muitas vezes, a adoção resulta em um fracasso,
comprometendo o desenvolvimento saudável da criança e causando um mal estar e infelicidade que acometerá a todos envolvidos nesse processo. Vários são os fatores
responsáveis por tal fracasso. Um dos mais identificados na clínica é a falha ou inexistência do estabelecimento de vínculo de filiação entre pais e filhos adotivos. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo é refletir sobre os impasses e fatores que dificultam e/ou impedem a formação do vínculo na filiação adotiva. Trata-se de uma pesquisa teórica na qual discutimos a noção de vínculo em autores de diferentes correntes:
francesa, americana e argentina. Em seguida problematizamos a formação do vínculo na adoção, considerando os fatores que dificultam ou impedem a formão desse
vínculo. Apresentamos algumas vinhetas clínicas no sentido de contextualizar os impasses vividos quando o desejo de adotar não está associado ao de ter filho. Vimos
que o valor atribuído ao vínculo de sangue, as expectativas inadequadas em torno da nova constituição familiar através da adoção, os mitos e fantasias e a não elaboração
dos lutos anteriores estão entre os fatores que dificultam ou impedem a formação vincular entre pais e filhos adotivos. O desejo de um filho pelos candidatos à adoção e
o desejo das crianças de serem filiadas são essenciais na constituição do vínculoDesde el punto de vista psicológico, la adopción no siempre aparece como una solución para el problema del abandono. A menudo, los resultados de la adopción en un fracaso, poniendo en peligro el desarrollo saludable de los niños y que causa malestar y la infelicidad que relámpago a todos los involucrados en este proceso. Son varios los factores responsables de este fracaso. Uno de los más señalados en la clínica es la insuficiencia o la falta de unión entre los padres de miembros y los niños adoptados. El objetivo de este estudio es reflexionar sobre los dilemas y los factores que obstaculizan y / o prevenir la formación de enlaces en la filiación adoptiva. Se trata de una investigación teórica en la que debatir el concepto de autores de diferentes corrientes empate: francesas, estadounidenses y argentinos. Luego problematizar la formación del enlace en la adopción, teniendo en cuenta los factores que dificultan o impiden el cincel de este enlace. Hemos visto que el valor asignado a los lazos de sangre, las expectativas inadecuadas sobre la nueva Constitución mediante la adopción de la familia, los mitos y las fantasías y la ausencia de duelos anteriores se encuentran entre los factores que dificultan o impiden el vínculo entre la formación de los padres y los niños adoptados. El deseo de un niño por los candidatos para la adopción y el deseo infantil de ser afiliado son esenciales en la creación de la relación

Full textAbstract:
The digital divide is often conceptualised as inequalities of access to technology. While access is obviously a precursor to technology use, research consistently shows that the digital divide is not explained simply by access to technology; apparent in the evidence of digital divides within communities of equitable wealth or within the same geographical location. This chapter acknowledges the interplay between psychological as well as socio-economic factors as important in the adoption of technology. Within this approach we construct a model based on the Technology Acceptance Model, the Theory of Planned Behaviour, Innovation Diffusion Theory, Hofstede’s culture framework, and Social Cognitive Theory. The framework for the model is based on a combination of an extension of the Technology Acceptance Model, Innovation Diffusion Theory, and Social Cognitive Theory. The underlying theoretical assumptions are based on Social Cognitive Theory. While some aspects of these individual theories have already been applied to understanding the digital divide, this chapter develops a more comprehensive psychological model of e-adoption than currently exists in the literature.

Full textAbstract:
How and why individuals use Internet banking (IB) has attracted a great deal of academic attention. This chapter reviews the literature on IB behavior through the lenses of nine adoption theories. This review suggests that IB adoption is a complex and multifaceted process; joint consideration of customers’ personal, social, psychological, utilitarian, and behavioral aspects is essential; managers and system developers should undertake a customer-centric approach focusing on managing belief formation rather than directly influencing behavior. However, IB research is in an inconclusive state, and is far from unanimity regarding the approaches and conceptualizations used to understand the beliefs that truly influence IB behavior. There is limited research dealing with the role of interventions that can assist managers in making effective decisions to speed the adoption process. An understanding of customer’s cognitive, emotional, and contextual processes is more important than adoption itself and will ultimately result in the intended behavior.

In today's cost challenged healthcare environment accountable care and evidence-based decision making have become important considerations. Contemporaneous to this is the fact that the superior management of diabetes has become a global priority especially given the exponential increase in the number of diabetes patients as well as the financial implications of treating this silent epidemic. Thus, this research focuses on trying to address these respective yet critical issues by examining the possibility of using a mobile web-based reporting system that taps into existing widely available resources to monitor and manage gestational diabetes. To test this solution, we adopted a randomized control trial with two-arm cross over applied to a not-for profit hospital in Victoria, Australia. From the perspective of practice, we have uncovered far reaching implications for hospital management's cost vs. quality care to patients. In particular, it appears that the adoption of smartphones to support many aspects of care and patient-clinician interactions is prudent.

In spite of the great potential for the development of mobile banking in Brazil, since the banking index reaches more than half of the population and the number of internet users is even higher, this potential is not evenly distributed among the age groups in the country. Taking into account the tendency to resist new technologies as one ages, this chapter aimed to identify the factors that lead the Brazilian population aged 45 years or over to use the internet and, within this spectrum, identify the barriers to the adoption of mobile banking technology. A questionnaire was applied and 113 responses were analyzed and categorized between functional and psychological aspects in these barriers. This chapter presents the results of this research.

Regular engagement in exercise has been found to improve multiple aspects of physical and psychological health, yet the majority of adults do not exercise at levels recommended by current guidelines. Although physical exercise is the only intervention consistently demonstrated to attenuate functional decline among seniors, an even smaller percentage of older adults engage in regular physical activity. Regular engagement in physical activity across the lifespan is strongly encouraged, as adoption of physical activity at an early age has the potential to modify the trajectory of physical decline. In this chapter, we review the various factors that can affect long-term adherence to engagement in regular physical activity, as well as considerations for special clinical populations. Regardless of programme type, most individuals will need assistance in changing their lifestyle. Healthcare providers can play an important role in promoting healthy levels of physical activity through the use of empirically supported behavioural skills.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years there has been growing research on the combination of evidence-based behavioral change techniques with mobile-based recommender systems. In this paper, we have focused on understanding the psychological burdens experienced by caregivers of children undergoing growth hormone treatment (GHt) and the perceived barriers to and drivers of the adoption of a digital health solution. This is a mixed-methods formative research study looking into technical acceptance aspects of using digital health for the emotional support of parents of children undergoing GHt. After one month using the ADHERA CARING platform (Adhera Health, Inc., Palo Alto, CA), individual semi-structured interviews were conducted. ADHERA CARING provides tailored emotional and self-management support to caregivers of children undergoing GHt to improve adherence to treatment through positive education, personalized motivational messages, and emotional support. A preliminary thematic analysis and categorization were carried out, based on the Behavioral Intervention Technology (BIT) model. The majority of participants were female. All caregivers positively valued having the tool, especially at the beginning of treatment. Information provided in the educational module was useful and improved self-efficacy. Motivational messages contributed to commitment and reinforced the educational content, thus promoting continuity of treatment and potentially improving treatment efficacy. Most participants (n=10, 80%) accessed all educational units and completed all the 27 quiz questions. Regarding the motivational messages, the overall average rating was 4.55 out of 5.00. ADHERA CARING has the potential to help caregivers to understand the treatment journey. Nevertheless, users have identified that some types of educational content are more valuable at specific stages of the treatment journey, which suggests that personalization of educational content is required to adapt to different stages of the patient journey.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporary research on mobile learning focuses mainly on issues such as the acquisition of knowledge, the development of cognitive skills and the efficiency of these tools with respect to the achievement of specific educational goals. Nonetheless, the consequences of the adoption of a technology within a learning context for educational purposes should not be reduced solely to the cognitive dimension implied in its use, nor should it be measured only in terms of goal achievement. Even if intended as purely educational tools, technologies are complex social objects that redefine the sense of the context, the activity and even the identity of the actors engaged in their use. When educational institutions adopt mobile information technologies they propose more than a supposedly efficient educational instrument or technology-formatted contents. They introduce a form of life. By form of life, we mean a repertoire of possible uses, actions, meanings and even intended actors that the users may adopt. A technology is then a condensed social context within which learning takes place. We might then ask, what kinds of learning are at stake? To grasp the richness and the complexity of the learning involved in using mobile information devices, we need a larger and holistic definition of learning that goes beyond simply acquiring knowledge on particular topics, or processing information for some formal educational purpose. Learning through mobile devices is a larger and complex process that involves different aspects of an individual’s psychological, cultural and social development. How does the use of an iPod affect the students’ identity? How does it contribute to the development of social skills and social awareness? Drawing on research involving 123 Canadian university students recruited from different disciplines (on the basis of data coming from diaries and focus groups), this chapter focuses on the multiple consequences of the introduction of this technology as an educational tool in students’ academic life.

Full textAbstract:
"Reported is the synthesis of a series of seven studies on work and health, conducted collaboratively by researchers in applied psychology and occupational medicine. This qualitative meta-study develops a framework, in which reviewed studies are structured, aggregated, integrated, and interpreted in a theory-guided iterative process of themed analysis. Building on empirical results, the subsequent interpretive integration seeks to demonstrate, how overarching, pervasive, and in psychological research typically underemphasized tendencies of “subjectification” manifest in exemplary work contexts, research topics, and results. Subjectification of work is operationalized in dimensions of work intensification (performance focus), work internalization (goal adoption), and work individualization (job personalization). A meta-dimension is work insecurity (personal risk), cultivated in contemporary management ideologies of employee self-reliance. Following thematic description, content-analytical structuring criteria include: a) focus on work task (activity) versus working conditions (context); b) primary (close, direct, explicit) versus secondary (inferred, indirect, subtle) references to and/or indication for identified tendencies of subjectification; and c) theoretically assumed and empirically examined relationships with negative (psychopathological) and positive (psychosalutogenic) short, medium, and longer-term attitudinal and health-related work effects, as well as the personality-shaping impact of long-term occupational socialization. Psychological aspects of work tasks are core to 4 studies, 3 focus on working conditions and organizational practices. References to intensification were dominant in 4 studies, whereas 5 include internalization processes, and 3 predominantly focus on individualization of work. All studies share secondary or indirect references to other subjectifying tendencies. Examined work effects were aggregated into a matrix of short, medium and long-term positive and negative manifestations of health and wellbeing. Results suggest tensions and pressures arising from the motivational individualization of work tasks and conditions, resulting internalization of organizational interests and goals (e.g., performance, efficiency, costs), coupled with system-inherent tendencies of work intensification. These dysfunctional dynamics constitute risks factors for psychologically detrimental or harmful forms of self-management, self-control, and self-endangering work behavior, as manifestations of “internalized” incompatibilities between work and health in the neoliberal workplace, aggravated by existential threats associated with political-economic crisis. Outlined are implications of subjectification for a critical reevaluation and reorientation of basic theoretical assumptions of research and practice in applied psychology and occupational health."

Full textAbstract:
Aim/Purpose: Today more and more transactions and acquisitions are controlled directly from mobile devices, especially smartphones applications. Previous studies have examined the adoption of financial applications based on a single theory as a theoretical basis. In order to examine the phenomenon in a wider way, we used in this study two theories as a theoretical basis. Background: It is important to define the main technological and psychological factors that affect the choice of potential customers to adopt or prefer financial applications. By combining two theories in the study, we expanded the examination of the phenomenon of adopting financial technology. Methodology: The study questionnaire was based on two questionnaires from previous studies. The questionnaire was tested on a focus group and certain adjustments were made based on the feedback. Thereupon, the questionnaire was sent online via social media. A total of 497 questionnaires were received, 402 were filled correctly and found suitable for statistical analysis. The statistical analysis included Alpha Cronbach Test, Pearson correlation test, and linear regression. Contribution: By combining DIT theory (Diffusion of Innovative Technology) suggested by Rogers, and TAM model (Technology Acceptance Model) presented by Davis, we expanding our understanding of the technological and psychological factors affecting financial application validation. Finding the influencing factors can help develop and implement future financial applications. Banks will be able to develop applications that truly meet the needs, desires and concerns of their target customers, thus able to save costs and improve their services to their customers. Findings: Six factors were tested in this study: relative advantage, complexity, compatibility, observability, experiencing, and perceived risk. The main findings showed significant negative correlation between age and relative advantage, so that as the age of the user increased the relative advantage decreased. In addition, a significant positive correlation was found between age and observability, so that as the age of the user increased the observability decreased. Also was found a significant negative correlation between age and the variable adoption of a financial application, so that as the age of the subject increases the financial application adoption decreases. No significant correlation was found between age and compatibility, complexity, relative risk. In addition, a significant positive correlation was found between the numbers of months of experience that the bank offers to the customers to the positive decision to adopt a financial application. No significant correlation was found between the demographic variables, education and wages, and financial application adoption. The regression analysis led to a significant result, so that the variables together explain 69.3% adoption of financial application. According to the research hypothesis, the relative advantage, compatibility, experiencing, and observability have the most significant positive effect on financial application adoption. Recommendations for Practitioners: We recommend programmers to focus on meeting the customers’ needs that best match the criteria delineated above. In addition, by understanding the influencing factors, marketers should use these criteria to reduce the psychological concerns of customers that delay the adoption of a financial application. Recommendations for Researchers: Since financial applications are becoming more useful as financial transfers, other behavioral aspects that influence the adoption of technology should be examined. We recommend conducting further research based on behavioral, economic, and technological theories. Impact on Society: A better understanding of the influencing factors will derive a better planning and development of financial applications, regarding the three most significant factors: relative advantage, compatibility, and observability. This process will result better and wider adoption of financial applications by customers, and will bring more customers to use financial transfers by smartphones. Future Research: Other studies can be used other theoretical basis for research; to examine specific populations, for example, in terms of older populations; to examine cultural and social influences factors on the adoption of financial applications.
