Abstract:

Communication breakdown is a challenge for family caregivers of persons living with dementia. We adapted established theory and scales for computer-assisted behavioral coding to characterize caregiver communication for a secondary analysis. We developed verbal, nonverbal, and breakdown coding schemes and established reliability (κ > .85). Within the 221 family caregiving videos analyzed, 55% of exchanges were interactive, 30% were silence, 4% consisted of talking to self or others, and 8% included a breakdown. An average of 2.4 ( SD = 1.9) breakdowns occurred per observation and were successfully resolved 85% of the time, with 31% being resolved most successfully following only one flag and repair strategy. Caregivers were the primary speakers (67%); their communication preceded most breakdown (65%), and they primarily initiated the repairs after a breakdown (70%). Common repair strategies included clarifications (31%), asking questions (24%), and repeating information (24%). Associations between communication strategies and repair success will provide evidence for caregiver training.

Abstract:

Abstract Communication is fundamental for dementia care and identifying evidence for strategies that facilitate or impede communication is needed. We analyzed 221 videos from a randomized controlled trial of a family caregiver telehealth intervention (FamTechCare) using Noldus second-by-second behavioral coding of communication behaviors and breakdowns in interactions between 53 caregiver-person with dementia dyads. Coded data from 3,642 30-second observations were first analyzed using penalized regression for feature selection (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator; LASSO) to identify strategies most important for predicting prevention and successful repair of communication breakdown. Bayesian mixed modeling was then used to identify communication strategies associated with successful versus unsuccessful prevention and repair of communication breakdown taking into account of the dyadic structure of our data. Results showed that given our data, communication breakdown was associated with caregivers changing topic (Mdn=11.23, 95% CrI [4.39, 24.43]), ignoring (Mdn=11.47, 95% CrI [4.75, 24.17]), making commands (Mdn=10.55, 95% CrI [3.41, 23.22]) and taking over the task (Mdn=4.04, 95% CrI [1.69, 7.23]). Successful repair of breakdown was associated with caregivers verbalizing understanding (Mdn=-0.47, 95% CrI [-0.88, -0.09]), tag questions, (Mdn=-2.44, 95% CrI [-5.35, -0.33), and silence (Mdn=-0.78, 95% Crl [-1.18, -0.40) while ignoring and changing topic were associated with unsuccessful repair (Mdn=3.63, 95% Crl [-2.56, 4.78; and 2.51 [1.39, 3.74]). These results provide evidence for development and testing of evidence-based communication strategy training for family caregivers of persons with dementia. Future analyses will identify effects of dementia stage, diagnosis, and dyad characteristics on associations.

Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate the presence of family breakdown factors among eutrophic and overweight/obese adolescents. Methods: Cross-sectional study of 242 students aged between 14 and 19 years old, from a public school. Each student was weighed, measured and answered a questionnaire with closed questions addressing the presence of family breakdown factors. The adolescents were divided in two groups: euthophic and overweight/obese. The answers of both groups were compared by Fisher's exact and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of the studied factors between the two groups. Comparing the number of positive answers (presence of family breakdown factors) and negative ones (absence of family breakdown factors), no difference was observed between the groups. Conclusions: The inclusion of a control group showed that factors of family breakdown, usually identified as associated with obesity in adolescents, may also be present in eutrophic adolescents.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Factors that can lead to breakdown in the care of the families of patients in the ICU include gaps in the healthcare providers' education and skill in working with families, unclear lines of responsibility for various aspects of family care, and insufficient support or supervision for the difficult emotional work of family care. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to highlight instances in which negative or difficult aspects of nursing care of family members of ICU patients were evident, so that needed changes in caring for the families could be emphasized. METHOD: Interpretive phenomenology was used to analyze transcribed audiotape recordings of interviews with 130 nurse participants and clinical observations of 48 nurse participants. The interpretive account is based on more than 100 narratives of patient care relayed in interviews and on observational notes that focused on care of the family. RESULTS: The five general nursing approaches that constrained family care in ICUs were nurses' efforts to (1) distance the family physically from the patient and the patient's bedside, (2) distance themselves from the patient and the patient's family, (3) characterize the family's perspective as pathological, (4) dissipate responsibility for family care, and (5) take an elemental rather than a systemic perspective. CONCLUSIONS: The breakdowns in family care observed in this study were neither new nor unique. In order to truly realize a patient- and family-focused healthcare system, an infusion of knowledge and skill must occur at the bedside with individual nurses.

Abstract:

AbstractWe live in the era, when a lack of understanding the elementary family's functions and ineffectiveness in creating lasting and open relations within the family backgrounds are a frequent phenomenon. The breakdown of the family is often caused by immaturity and inadequate conditions for the parental and marital role. Personal tragedies, as well as the consequences in the upbringing, are serious effects of divorce and family breakdown. In this article we are attempting to point out an importance of the family in our current society with an emphasis on the particularities of the father’s and mother’s role in child rearing.

Abstract:

The institution of joint custody is a relatively new phenomenon in Poland. It is still relatively scarcely discussed and explored in legal studies or in pedagogy or psychology. The increasing interest in this form of custody in the situation of parents’ divorce results mainly from the ongoing transformation of parental roles, including the renewed recognition of the role and significance of the father in the child’s life. In cases of family breakdown, joint custody is sought as a solution whose primary objective is the good of the child. The aim of this article is to explore issues related to the use and popularization of joint custody in Poland, to outline changes in legislation regarding the regulations and possibilities of applying for joint custody and to critically analyse the current research on the advantages and disadvantages of joint custody in the context of the psychosocial development of the child in the context of parents’ divorce.

Abstract:

Studies examining the experience of children returned from foster care can reveal its causes and the severity of the psychological consequences, as well as the positive effect of psychological support on family functioning. Our research was aimed at the features of children and characteristics of foster families who refuse to continue parenting foster children. The study participants were comprised of families raising a foster child (Group One—182 families), and families who refused to continue parenting and returned the child (Group Two—19 families). The study was conducted using the “standardized interview for parents” and the “list of traumatic experiences of the child.” The results show that the strongest contributor to foster family breakdown was the degree of the child’s traumatic experience before placement (for Group One, 3.9 (1.15); Group Two, 6.1 (1.31), U = 395.0, p < 0.001) and the minimal participation of the family in an intervention program (the total number of program activities the family did not participate in; for Group One, 48.5 (28.27)%, Group Two, 95.5 (2.58)%, U = 67.5, p < 0.001). Our data expand ideas about the functioning of foster families who have taken children with significant traumatic experience and indicate the need to improve the quality of psychological and social support to foster families as an important factor in preventing secondary returns.

Abstract:

Family law is only one piece of the puzzle as separating and divorcing couples attempt to manage the conflict and deal with the practical problems arising on marriage breakdown. Divorce is a process, not an event. It is multi-faceted. The emotional dynamics of marriage breakdown may require a time consuming therapeutic response but parenting and economic arrangements must be resolved expeditiously. There is a tendency to assume that spouses who are locked in conflict will find themselves in court. In reality, fewer than four per cent of divorces proceed to trial. The costs of litigation are far too high, both financially and emotionally. Most disputes are resolved by negotiation, often with the assistance of lawyers. If negotiations are to bear fruit at a manageable cost to family members, hard bargaining that reflects "a winner take all" mentality must be avoided; principled negotiation, as espoused by Roger Fisher, William Ury and Bruce Patton in Getting To Yes, can generate optimal results for all interested parties, including the children. Recent years have witnessed the growth of mediation, whereby a neutral third party assists family members in searching for consensus on matters in dispute. The mediator controls the process but the family members control the substantive outcome of their deliberations. Mediation is nothing more than structured negotiation where a third party facilitates resolution of the dispute. If a final settlement cannot be reached, one possible option is recourse to private arbitration in which a third party is given the authority to determine the respective rights and obligations of the spouses and their children. It is possible to combine the aforementioned processes for the purpose of reaching a complete settlement of matters in dispute. These processes are complementary to the judicial process and should be closely examined by all families faced by the cataclysmic disruption generated by a failed marriage.

Abstract:

The Aboriginal family unit has seen many changes since European invasion. Like families all over the world, the Aboriginal family is the place where social behaviour is constructed, interpreted and transmitted from one generation to another. This is a process which has continued since the invasion of white man. Aboriginal people see the family as a place of nurturing, with the ability to provide and teach. When one or both of these factors is not functioning adequately, a family breakdown can occur.

Abstract:

Interfamily Violence as a «Link Modality» Drawing on a case encountered in family therapy, we have developed a hypothesis according to which interfamily violence may correspond to a «link modality» developed by the family to prevent the fear of family breakdown from irrupting. Through the use of the transferential process, the family has been able to bring into the open its need for dependence and protection previously obscured by frequent and exaggerated «grabbing» behaviors in its methods of inter-relating. Experiences of breakdown formerly expressed in acts such as these may find a new way of elaboration with the transitional dream area and will appear in simple time-space juxtaposition with cross-generation elements which have not yet proved workable in the therapy itself.

Abstract:

AbstractThe dominant story of matrimonial property law reform in English Canada treats the farming family case of Murdoch v. Murdoch as the great catalyst for change, but there are persistent inequalities affecting farm women, even in provinces that have made progressive changes in the law of relationship breakdown. The farm is the quintessential family business and is both place of residence and source of income. Since the farm is not readily divisible, it is not surprising that all the major marital property law cases to reach the Supreme Court of Canada have involved farm property. What is surprising is that most provincial property reforms, though inspired by the Murdoch case, explicitly exclude farms from division, and those that include farms in the property to be divided still have mechanisms that tend to favour husbands. This article examines Canadian courts' gendered conceptualization of what constitutes a family business by examining the cases on farm property and the related legislative reforms. Feminists, and all women who have benefited from matrimonial property law reform, have an obligation to recognize the problems created by our persistent failure to understand the farm as simultaneously home and place of business.

Abstract:

This research examines the diversification and changes in the Canadian family form over the past 25 years. While the husband-wife family has declined over this time period, it still remains the dominant family form. Statistics Canada census statistics allows for the examination of new family forms since 1981, as the common-law partnership and the now married have been distinguished within the husband-wife family category. With the introduction of the 1968 and 1985 Divorce Acts, separation became a major ground for divorce in Canada. Marital breakdown should be measured by the incidence of both divorce and separation. The popularity of cohabitation further clouds the measuring of total partnership breakdown since separation of cohabiting partners is not recorded. This research focuses on the change in marital separation and the increase in cohabitation since 1981. Marital separation has declined in its contribution to total marital dissolution since 1985.

Abstract:

There are few explicit examples in the literature of vector fields exhibiting observable chaos that may be proved analytically. This paper reports numerical experiments performed for an explicit two-parameter family of [Formula: see text]-symmetric vector fields whose organizing center exhibits an attracting heteroclinic network linking two saddle-foci. Each vector field in the family is the restriction to [Formula: see text] of a polynomial vector field in [Formula: see text]. We investigate global bifurcations due to symmetry-breaking and we detect strange attractors via a mechanism called Torus-Breakdown. We explain how an attracting torus gets destroyed by following the changes in the unstable manifold of a saddle-focus. Although a complete understanding of the corresponding bifurcation diagram and the mechanisms underlying the dynamical changes is out of reach, we uncover complex patterns for the symmetric family under analysis, using a combination of theoretical tools and computer simulations. This article suggests a route to obtain rotational horseshoes and strange attractors; additionally, we make an attempt to elucidate some of the bifurcations involved in an Arnold tongue.

Abstract:

As in many other countries, family life in Costa Rica has changed in recent decades. Marriage is declining, divorce and separation are on the rise, out-of-wedlock births are increasing, and women head a growing number and proportion of households. Nationally and internationally, statements issued by the media, government bodies and the religious establishment indicate that these trends have provoked anxiety about “family breakdown.” Yet it is less well known if similar concerns are felt at the grassroots. The present paper explores reactions to family change among 176 low-and middle-income women and men from different age groups in Guanacaste province, northwest Costa Rica. A key finding is that although some trajectories in family life are perceived as encompassing possibilities for new, more flexible and egalitarian domestic arrangements, others are regarded as weakening family unity. Moreover, concerns about “family breakdown” are more common among adult males than their female counterparts or younger people. The reasons behind these disparate views relate to social, legal, and economic processes that have destabilized “traditional” gendered divisions of labor, power, and rights within Costa Rican households.

Abstract Marital dialogue plays an essential role in shaping the relationship between spouses and supports experiencing personal I in the context of the community – We. In these couples, where dialogue is going well, it fulfils the function of a secure base forming a community based on the foundation of unity. However, contemporary culture denies an interpersonal dialogue the authenticity and engagement, emphasizing individualistic attitudes, preoccupation with oneself, leading to relationship and community disintegration and breakdown. This paper is to present the authors twenty year research into bonds, communication styles, marital conflicts and ways of coping with them. The research shows various issues related to developing the interpersonal dialogue and thus creating bonds and unity in the marriage and family. At first, the research devoted to the transmission of generation patterns in the family is presented and it is followed by presentation of selected psychological factors influencing marriage quality and marital satisfaction.

Abstract:

Purpose: The two goals of this article are the analysis of the duration of adoptive placements ending in breakdown and the role of age at placement in the breakdown experience. Method: All known cases of adoption breakdown during a whole decade in Andalusia, a Spanish region, were studied. Preadoption and formalized adoptions, domestic and intercountry adoptions were included. Data were analyzed using survival analysis, Cox regression, χ2, and rate ratio analyses. Results: The duration of adoptive placements ending in breakdown, significantly shorter in intercountry adoptions, is associated with a configuration of characteristics in the child, the adoptive parents and adoptive family life, and professional intervention. Among child-related factors, age at placement is of special relevance for the breakdown experience. Conclusions: Placements involving older children last less and break down more frequently, but are not condemned to failure. They need to be better supported with protective factors compensating the risks.

Abstract:

Separation of siblings is one of the most difficult diagnostic problems faced by psychologists. Such situations are happening more often in the face of the increasing number of divorces and breakdown of relationships. Therefore, a diagnostic task becomes an in-depth assessment of intra-family relationships, ties connecting family members, the preferences of individual people and predicting the long-term consequences of the proposed solutions. The article is dedicated to this problem, and the issue is addressed through the theoretical perspective and the analysis of two cases, i.e., the situation of separated siblings. In the study of children, we present a relatively new method, based on the authors’ clinical experience, which could be used to diagnose the family situation of children. The first goal was to analyze the reasons for the separation of siblings whose parents were in conflict during the separation (first case study) and after the separation (second case study), as well as to assess the functioning of the children resulting from the family breakdown, and the decision to separate them from siblings. The analysis allowed identifying the areas of sibling functioning, which should become the subject of diagnosis when working on expert opinions in divorce cases, or cases establishing contact between parents and children. The second aim of the report was to assess the effectiveness of using play as a diagnostic method in a situation that is a source of stress for the child (family breakdown) and causes tension (the diagnostic process in which this topic is discussed).

Abstract:

During the first decade of the twenty-first century, UK policy and practice has become increasingly overt in its concern with families. In January 2010, the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF, 2010) launched the Support for All: The Families and Relationships Green Paper. In its Foreword, Ed Balls, the then Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, presented ‘Strong, stable families’ as ‘the bedrock of our society’, positioning the Green Paper as ‘supporting families to help themselves’, whilst ‘ensuring that all public services play their part in supporting strong and resilient family relationships’ (DCSF, 2010: 3). The Centre for Social Justice offered an immediate response with its own Green Paper on the Family, emphasising the role of ‘family breakdown’ as ‘the root’ of ‘pathways to poverty’ for many, as well as a barrier to appropriate childhood development and positive ‘future life outcomes’ (Centre for Social Justice, 2010: 4).

Abstract:

Recent numerical evidence [8, 28, 33] suggests that in the Hele–Shaw suction problem with vanishingly small surface tension $\gamma$, the free boundary generically approaches the sink in a wedge-like configuration, blow-up occurring when the wedge apex reaches the sink. Sometimes two or more such wedges approach the sink simultaneously [33]. We construct a family of solutions to the zero-surface tension (ZST) problem in which fluid is injected at the (coincident) apices of an arbitrary number $N$ of identical infinite wedges, of arbitrary angle. The time reversed suction problem then models what is observed numerically with non-zero surface tension. We conjecture that (for a given value of $N$) a particular member of this family of ZST solutions, with special complex plane singularity structure, is selected in the limit $\gamma\,{\to}\,0$.

Abstract:

Family-based solutions for children in care are the preferred option in European countries on the grounds of both cost and quality. Yet, too often, foster care placements intended to be long term are terminated unexpectedly early. Few studies have identified factors leading to unexpected breakdown and fewer still have translated such findings into practical guidance for professionals. This article outlines: (a) the ambiguity and contradictions in the use of terminology (e.g., instability, breakdown, disruption) in several international studies; (b) the adoption of a one-sided, file-based, systemic perspective in recent studies of foster care instability, breakdown, and disruption; and (c) empirical data collected from interviews with foster children. Foster care breakdown is shown to be a process that takes place on several levels. In addition to the actual breakdown event, the situation of the child before the placement, the situation during the placement, the emergence and development of the crisis and the consequences of the breakdown for all those involved are all part of the process. It is only in retrospect that the ending of a foster care process is perceived as a breakdown. Assessments of whether it was planned or unplanned, expected or unexpected, and desirable or undesirable are meaningful only from an individual perspective. Such a perspective must be clearly identified: different people experience and remember the same breakdown in different ways, and its significance for their personal biographies may vary.

Abstract:

Many axisymmetric vortex cores are found to have an external azimuthal velocity v, which diverges with a negative power of the distance r to their axis of symmetry. This singularity can be regularized through a near-axis boundary layer approximation to the Navier-Stokes equations, as first done by Long for the case of a vortex with potential swirl, v∼r−1. The present work considers the more general situation of a family of self-similar inviscid vortices for which v∼rm−2, where m is in the range 0 n< m < 2. This includes Longs Vortex for the case m =1. The corresponding solutions also exhibit self-similar structure, and have the interesting property of losing existence when the ratio of the inviscid near-axis swirl to axial velocity (the swirl parameter) is either larger (when 1m < 2) or smaller (when 0m < 1) than an m-dependent critical value. This behaviour shows that viscosity plays a key role in the existence or lack of existence of these particular nearly inviscid vortices and supports the theory proposed by Hall and others on vortex breakdown. Comparison of both the critical swirl parameter and the viscous core structure for the present family of vortices with several experimental results under conditions near the onset of vortex breakdown show a good agreement for values of m slightly larger than 1. These results differ strongly from those in the highly degenerate case m =1.
