Full textAbstract:
I Sverige insjuknar 250-300 barn varje år av cancer. De cancertyper som drabbar barn är vanligtvis inte de samma som vuxna utvecklar. Olika cancerformer kräver olika typer av behandling, dessa är cytostatika, operation samt strålbehandling. Sjuksköterskan skall kunna möta föräldrar och barn samt uppfatta deras lidande för att kunna tillfredställa behovet av en god omvårdnad. För föräldrarna upplevs barnets cancerdiagnos ofta som ett svårt lidande, som kan kännas helt outhärdligt. När ett barn är svårt sjukt i cancer innebär detta en långvarig kontakt med sjukvården för hela familjen. Det är en svår och stressfull situation för familjen och deras välbefinnande påverkas av vårdarens agerande.Syftet med studien är att beskriva föräldrarnas uppfattning av vad som är god vård i samband med behandling av det cancersjuka barnet på sjukhus. Metoden är en litteraturstudie där åtta kvalitativa artiklar analyseras enligt Evans (2003) metod.Resultatet presenteras utifrån fem teman som är: Anpassad information, Kontinuerlig vårdrelation, Emotionellt stöd, Familjens delaktighet i vården samt Lugn vårdmiljö.Det mest framträdande i resultatet är att information är grunden till att föräldrarna skall uppleva att deras barn får en god vård. En adekvat given information med lyhördhet inför den enskilde förälderns behov och önskemål resulterar i en mer tillfredställd förälder.Program: Fristående kurs

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to study the development of the concept/model “the church as the family of God” and to explore its implications in terms of participation of church members and the social mission for the church in Vietnam. The discussion of the development of the ecclesiological concept helps to construct an ecclesiology of the church as the family of God in response to the call of Pope John Paul II in the Apostolic Exhortation Ecclesia in Africa (1995).It also assists the Vietnamese church in its evaluation and implication of the model of the church as family. This ecclesiological model has been promoted since the seventeenth century and emphasised since the Second Vatican Council in the church in Vietnam. The scope of this thesis studies the biblical, theological and ecclesiological development of the concept/model of the church as God’s family. It also investigates the understanding of the family and the church as family in Vietnam, the mutual relationships of church members and the characteristics of the mission of the church in the world. Then it explores the implications of the ecclesiology of the church as the family of God for the local church. A proper understanding of these issues is necessary because it helps the Vietnamese church to apply authentically the model of the church as the family of God. Chapter One discusses the biblical understanding of the family of God as the metaphor for the relationships between God and his people and among members in the church. The metaphor “the family/the household of God” was applied to the house church in early Christianity and provides some relevant implications for the church today. Chapter Two examines the theological foundations of the concept in patristic writings, in the liturgy and in church documents. Chapter Three explores the components of an ecclesiology of the church as the family of God which include trinitarian, Basic Ecclesial Communities, ancestral veneration and liberation ecclesiologies. Chapter Four investigates the traditional as well as modern Vietnamese family and its challenges in order to identify the foundation of the understanding of the concept of family in the local church. Chapter Five describes the development of the concept/model of the church as family in the organisation of the Vietnamese church that appeared in the seventeenth century and in some documents of the local church. Chapter Six analyses church hierarchy and the participation of the people of God. It provides some implications of the ecclesiology of the church as God’s family for the promotion of the participatory church in Vietnam. Chapter Seven examines the characteristics of and the practical tools in the church’s social mission and explores the challenges to the implications of the social mission of the church as the family of God. The conclusions of this thesis are that the concept/model and the applications of the church as the family of God have basic foundations in scripture, in patristic writings and in church documents. The concept of family in these materials implies two main meanings: the familial relationships between God and the people of God (or the church) and the mutual relationships among people in the church as well as in society. These relationships are based on human interactions in the family which are problematic in some situations. Therefore, the model of the church as family must be patterned on trinitarian communion of the divine family so that it can overcome the limitations of the human family. In that context, the Vietnamese family pointed out advantages as well as disadvantages in the development of the model of the church as family. The concept of family is very close to the Vietnamese; it provides some possibilities to develop the participation in the church and its mission in society. However, to some extent, the concept and the structure of the Vietnamese family which was influenced by Confucianism have challenged the local church in these areas. Therefore, the proper understanding of hierarchy and the church’s social mission were discussed. Based on that understanding some applications were also proposed in order to help the Vietnamese church to overcome these challenges and become an authentic model of the family of God.

Full textAbstract:
From 1868 to 1978, the Dupuis Freres department store serviced the French Montreal community from its headquarters on St. Catherine Street, east of Saint Laurent. This thesis looks at the management strategies of Dupuis Freres through its employee newspaper, Le Duprex, from 1926 to 1946, and then at their collapse with the Dupuis Freres strike in 1952. The Dupuis Freres management retained the loyalty of its employees by using a combination of paternalism and welfare capitalism. The company supported a union, organized leisure activities, provided sales incentives and rewarded loyalty financially and socially. In addition, the store integrated its French Canadian and Catholic identity with its employees' understanding of their work to impart cultural meaning to their employment. Dupuis Freres equated support for the company with the success of the French Canadian people, and its connections with the Catholic clergy added a sacred element to its enterprise. Dupuis Freres strike in 1952 divided French Canadians along class lines, and those who supported the workers were seen by neo-nationalists as doing so at the expense of French Canadian survival.

Full textAbstract:
The role of the father in post-modern times has changed dramatically and the new
challenges posed to fathers due to these changes prompted this study.
The aim of this study is to design a theory for a practice that could possibly be used by a
Biblical counsellor or therapist to counsel and enrich fathers amidst the challenges of the
post-modern world.
The research was done on the basis of the practical theological model of Zerfass and
contains the following structure:
• A meta-theoretical evaluation of fatherhood in related subject areas
revealed by literature studies.
• The meta-theoretical evaluation was combined with an empirical
research by means of interviews with fathers. An applicable
questionnaire was used to research the conceptual understanding of
fatherhood and practice of post-modern fatherhood with the fathers.
. A basic theory on which Scriptural perspectives on fatherhood have
been researched.
The meta-theoretical research indicated that the main reason for the dramatic changes to
fatherhood is not ideological based but due to practical changes in society. Due to the
women's very successful entering of the workplace, a predominantly men's territory,
many things have changed on the family front. Men were forced to share responsibilities
in the practical care taking of children at home. A search for new models to post-modern
fatherhood started. The old patriarchal model failed to provide ways of meaningful
understanding and processing the new challenges of fatherhood brought on by practical
changes in the society of a post-modern world.
Linked to this search for new models of post-modern fatherhood is the feminist's struggle
against patriarchy. The research indicated that the main pillar of patriarchy was the
theological concept of God as Father. The feminist produced a lot of material on the
ways and means to free God and society of patriarchy.
The basic theory on which Scriptural perspectives on fatherhood have been researched
took into consideration the results of feminist's studies. One benefit from the feminist's
struggle was the emphasis put on the metaphorical character of theological discourse.
God our Father is a metaphorical discourse, which bring into play the hermeneutic
process of interpretation. Realising the metaphorical character of theological language
we can enhance our understanding of God by reconstructing our concept of God's
fatherhood. Through research we rediscovered many other complimenting metaphors of
God in a parental capacity (God sometimes acts like a Mother, He gave birth to His
people etc.) which can help the post-modern father to come to a better self-expression
when it comes to the challenges posed to him today. Very often these new roles were
traditionally restricted to the women's territory.
The conclusion of the research is that through the process of pastoral hermeneutics the
post-modern father can discover the cultured derived practice of his fatherhood and
evaluate this post-modern fatherhood in terms of God's fatherhood as it has been
revealed through the process of researching the Scripture. The interaction between his
understanding of what fatherhood means and of God's fatherhood enables the father to
come to a new and meaningful self-expression of his own fatherhood in post-modern
times.Thesis (Ph.D. (Pastoral))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

Zhakevich, Mark Brian. "The compensatory benefits of discipleship in the Gospel of John." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/25936.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers a focused study on the benefits of discipleship in the Gospel of John (GJohn). While previous research has considered the meaning of the terms disciple and discipleship, characterization of the Johannine disciples, and various characteristics of discipleship, in the current study I investigate certain themes that can be understood as compensatory benefits of discipleship in GJohn. I argue that these benefits can be grouped under three primary benefits that John deploys to promote discipleship. These three primary benefits are: membership in the divine family, the Father and the Son abiding in the believer through the Spirit, and royal friendship with Jesus. I have identified these three primary benefits based on either the benefit’s strategic placement in the text, or prominence in the Gospel, or peculiar meaning in GJohn. In addition to the three primary benefits, I argue that John features corollary benefits that appear in the surrounding narrative of the three key benefits. The corollary benefits of membership in the divine family are life, love, knowledge of God and of the truth, freedom from sin, walking in the light, salvation, avoidance of judgment/destruction, resurrection, protection, performance of great works, affirmation of genuine discipleship, honor, glory, and unity/oneness of the Father and the Son with the other disciples. The corollary benefits to abiding—which are contingent upon the disciples’ abiding in Jesus—are the presence of the Paraclete, love, peace, joy, avoidance of judgment, answered requests, the ability to perform great works, fruit, and affirmation of genuine discipleship. The corollary benefits to royal friendship with Jesus are love, knowledge of the Father, fruit, joy, and answered requests. The corollary benefits that are constituent of more than one primary benefit—love, affirmation of genuine discipleship, avoidance of judgment, joy, knowledge, answered requests, fruit, and performance of great works—are examined in the context of the primary benefit that develops the accompanying benefit most thoroughly. My study is rooted in a close reading of the text, with an exegetical and a narratival analysis of John’s presentation of discipleship. In chapter 1, I frame my argument in light of the existing literature on discipleship. In chapters 2 through 4, I investigate the three primary benefits and the affiliated corollary benefits. In chapter 2, I argue that followers of Jesus are integrated into the family of God by divine initiation. The disciple is then granted eternal life that enables him to relate to God, Jesus, and other members within the divine family, which results in the aforementioned additional benefits. In chapter 3, I argue that the theme of abiding with God and Jesus has a present and a future dimension in GJohn. In chapter 4, I argue that John depicts Jesus as a royal figure who invites his disciples into a friendship in which they experience the privilege of being members of his royal circle. In chapter 5, I suggest that John presents the benefits of commitment to Jesus against the general backdrop of the hostility of “the Jews” and the world toward Jesus and his followers. This opposition might have been a factor in the then-current experience of Johannine believers, or it might be reflective of the experience of a prior time which continued to form part of the outlook of the Johannine believers. In light of the potential cost of following Jesus, we can understand certain Johannine themes as compensatory benefits that are deployed in GJohn to promote continuous discipleship. In chapter 6, I synthesize my findings.

Full textAbstract:
Sammanfattning Syftet med denna studie är att ta del av och göra en analys av tio elevers berättelser om sina literacypraktiker. Den teoretiska ingången i studien är ett sociokulturellt perspektiv vilket medför en förståelse av lärande som något som människan gör i samspel med andra i olika sociala, materiella och kulturella kontexter (Säljö, 2014a). Utifrån denna förståelse syftar undersökningen till att närmare undersöka specifika aspekter av goda läsares literacypraktiker, samt hur dessa kan förstås i relation till olika sociala, materiella och kulturella kontexter i barnens liv. Studien är av kvalitativ ansats och utgår från djupintervjuer genomförda med tio elever bedömda att ha en god läsförståelse. Elevernas medverkan baseras på resultat från både muntliga och skriftliga normerade test (Lundberg, 2001; Järpsten & Taube, 2010; Skolverket, 2015). Av det huvudsakliga resultatet framgår att samtliga elever använder sig av både medvetna och omedvetna literacypraktiker. Till de medvetna literacypraktikerna hör att läsa långsamt, läsa om ord och innehållet i texten samt att utgå från bilderna. De omedvetna literacypraktikerna är att skapa inre bilder, koppla texten till egna erfarenheter, leva sig in i karaktären samt omvandla text till rörliga bilder. Av studien framgår också att föräldrarna kommunicerar ett engagerat förhållningssätt till skolan och skolkunskaper. Detta görs i form av andra läroböcker som föräldrarna förser sina barn med vilket även visar sig i gemensamma utmaningar i olika skolämnen samt läsprojekt i form av bokklubbar.

Full textAbstract:
United in a quest to restore order, preserve hierarchy, and avoid profound change in Mexican society, different components of the political right resisted the Revolutionary regime from 1929 to 1940. Catholic peasants in the Bajio joined lay organizations and persisted in armed Cristero rebellion as they rejected socialist education in the mid-1930s. Industrialists, who had given tacit support to the government in the Maximato, were slow to organize but vigorous in their fight against the labor policies of Lazaro Cardenas's administration from 1935 to 1940. Urban middle sectors attempted to vote the government out of power with the 1929 presidential campaign of Jose Vasconcelos, and mobilized even more effectively a decade later--joined by northern ranchers fearful of continued agrarian reform. Weak and frayed by personalism during the Maximato, the right coalesced only after a frail electoral effort in 1934, when the rise of radicalism prodded it to action. Aware of cardenismo's vision for Mexico, and cognizant of the decline of its institutional bulwarks of army and church, by 1937 the right offered a fresh political discourse on family, faith, womanhood, and nation. It engaged the Revolutionary establishment on these issues with devastating effect, placing the Cardenas government on the defensive and forcing a fundamental shift rightward in body politic by 1940.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the house as symbol of God, self, and body. This is a way to explore the expression of individuality both incorporated in, and invoked by the middle-class single family home, particularly for women. The theme, "the temple within," is intended to create a conceptual framework for the identification of activities which give the elements of the house meaning for the occupants. The elements of house, garden, hearth, entrance, windows, attic/stair/cellar, and walls and spaces, are identified through the analysis of primary sources. These are the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation Competition Series stock plans from 1947 to 1963, as well as two suburban homes from the Carlington neighbourhood in Ottawa, Ontario. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the appropriateness of these symbols of home as a vehicle for women's identity of self.

Tremper, Kristin. ""When God Takes Away": Gendered Death Customs in Eighteenth-Century Virginia." VCU Scholars Compass, 2010. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/74.
Full textAbstract:
Rituals surrounding death were social in addition to being religious. Virginians conveyed the status of the deceased through funerals, burials, gravestones, commemoration, and mourning. But these customs greatly differed according to gender, both in what they consisted of and who was responsible for carrying them out. This thesis examines wills, diaries, correspondence, grave markers, prints, and newspapers of eighteenth-century Virginians, which demonstrate the differences in the death customs of men and women. Because of men’s involvement in public activities like business and politics, they gave greater forethought into how acts of remembrance would reflect their positions. Women’s duties were centered on the home and family. This resulted in less elaborate death customs as well as greater responsibility for appropriately attending to the remembrance of others. Despite the overwhelmingly private nature of women’s funerals and burials, gravestones, death notices, and the responsibilities of widowhood briefly brought women into the public realm.

Full textAbstract:
Studien syftade till att undersöka hur socialsekreterare beskriver familjehemsföräldrars behov av stöd vid sammanbrott samt vilka möjligheter de uppfattar sig ha att möta stödbehovet. Sju socialsekreterare deltog i studien och data samlades in genom en fokusgruppsdiskussion och tre enskilda intervjuer. Studiens teoretiska ansats var teorin om gräsrotsbyråkrati samt begreppet handlingsutrymme. Resultatet visade att de intervjuade socialsekreterarna upplevde en svårighet att prata om sammanbrottet utan att se till placeringen i sin helhet. Det blev också tydligt att ämnet var ovanligt för socialsekreterarna att reflektera över. Stödjande samtal uppfattades vara det främsta stödbehovet och socialsekreterarna beskrev en för familjehemsföräldrarna känslomässig process i samband med ett sammanbrott, vilken de bemötte med tid för återhämtning samt “ett lyssnande öra”. Organisatoriska förutsättningar i form av arbetets organisering och dess kultur, ledningens insyn och förtroende, hög arbetsbelastning samt geografiskt långa avstånd var aspekter vilka möjliggjorde eller begränsade socialsekreterarna.The aim of the study was to examine how social workers describe foster parents’ need of support in the event of a placement breakdown and which opportunities the social workers perceived having to meet the parents’ needs. A focus group and three individual interviews were made, including totally seven social workers in the study. The theoretical approach was the theory of street-level bureaucracy with focus on the concept of discretion. The social workers described a difficulty to talk about placement breakdown without seeing the placement as a whole. It became obvious that identifying foster parents’ needs during or after a placement breakdown was not perceived as part of the social workers’ work tasks. Although, they expressed that foster parents’ may need support in this situation. The social workers described an emotional process for foster parents, which they responded to with listening as well as “giving time for recovery”. Organizational conditions affecting the work were discussed in terms of workplace culture and organization, the management’s insight and trust, a high workload and geographically long distance which enabled or limited the social workers.

Full textAbstract:
Avsikten med denna studie är att undersöka meningen bakom ”barnets bästa” i adoptionsärenden under perioden 1925–1934 i Östersunds stad. Detta görs genom en arkivstudie av barnavårdsmannaakter och domslut kring adoptionsärendena. Adoptanterna framställs genomgående positivt och representerar den ”goda familjen”. I beskrivningen av de biologiska föräldrarna betonas däremot bristande förmåga och resurser. Det är tydligt att barnen i materialet inte fått någon egen röst eller något eget utrymme; det är andra som definierar vad som är det bästa för barnet. Barnen tycks inte ses som egna individer utan framställs endast i relation till den biologiska modern eller vårdnadshavaren. Studien illustrerar hur uppfattningen om ”barnets bästa” varierat genom historien och hur den varit knuten till successivt förändrade familjenormer.

Full textAbstract:
Sammanfattning I Sverige avlider ca 90 000 personer varje år och antalet som avlider någon annanstans än på sjukhus ökar. Detta ställer högre krav på den palliativa hemsjukvården. Genom utbildning och riktlinjer kan sjuksköterskor i den palliativa vården ge patienter och närstående ökad livskvalitet och möjliggör valet av platsen att få avsluta sitt liv.
In Sweden the death of about 90 000 people each year and the number who die elsewhere than in hospital increases. This places greater demands on the palliative home care. Through education and guidelines can nurses in palliative care give patients and relatives increased quality of life and allow the choice of place to end his life.
The aim: of this study was to investigate if the interaction between nurse, relatives and patient facilitates a good care and death in palliative care. Method: The study was conducted as a literature study in which seven quantitative and ten qualitative research articles were reviewed. Results: Four categories were identified that were relevant for nursing care and death in palliative care, Communication, Relationships between nurses, patients and relatives, To die at home or in hospice and The good death. The communication was found to have a large impact on the interaction in the palliative care. The results showed that the communication involved much more than just verbal. Although humor can be regarded as trivial and unprofessional proved to have a significant impact on the interaction and contributed to the nurse came closer to the patient and the relatives. The need for education and knowledge in palliative care were found to be important for nurses but also for patients and relatives to make decisions about where and how the patient wants to be nursed.

Full textAbstract:
Palliativ vård betyder att en människa inte längre vårdas för att botas utan istället vårdas för att få ett så bra slut i livet som möjligt. Vid all palliativ vård, inklusive den palliativa vården av barn, står patienten och dennes närstående inför en svår tid med många utmaningar och motgångar. Många funderingar framkommer då de närstående många gånger ej besitter likvärdig facklig kunskap om medicin och omvårdnad, som sjuksköterskan gör. Situationer som uppstår blir svårhanterliga för den drabbade patienten och dess föräldrar när kommunikationen brister med vårdpersonalen. För vårdpersonalen förekommer många laddade möten med patient, föräldrar och närstående då vårdpersonalens kommunikationsförmåga utsätts för hårda prövningar.Syftet är att beskriva föräldrars upplevelse av god kommunikation vid palliativ pediatrisk vård.Examensarbetet är en litteraturstudie baserad på åtta artiklar med kvalitativ inriktning, varav en också delvis använde kvantitativa data.Resultatet i denna litteraturstudie beskriver vad föräldrar upplever som viktigt vad gäller kommunikationen mellan dem och vårdpersonalen angående vården av patienten, det vill säga det sjuka barnet. Resultatet presenteras i fem teman; vikten av ärlig kommunikation, individanpassad kommunikation, organiserad kommunikation, relationens betydelse för god kommunikation samt sjuksköterskans empati. Föräldrarna menar att kommunikationen behöver anpassas till deras språkliga- och kunskapsmässiga nivå. Informationen de får angående barnet bör präglas av ärlighet; vårdpersonalen behöver visa upp egenskaper som gör att relationen mellan dem och föräldrarna bygger på tillit och förtroende. Hur en god kommunikation underlättas för patient och föräldrar och hur den goda kommunikationen kan upprätthållas är något som diskuteras i denna litteraturstudie. Det vårdande samtalets funktion diskuteras också, samt hur allmänsjuksköterskan kan bli bättre på att integrera aktuell forskning gällande kommunikation i det dagliga omvårdnadsarbetet.Program: Sjuksköterskeutbildning

Full textAbstract:
More than 40 million American adults suffer from anxiety, but only a third receive care despite evidence of effective treatment. This is attributed to lack of access to adequate services, cultural-based myths, and prohibitive symptoms associated with anxiety, especially for marginalized populations such as racial minorities. Since spirituality is often used as a coping mechanism especially for racial groups, psychotherapy has slowly begun incorporating it into treatment. While this has the potential to reduce some barriers to care, the increasing number of Americans who are disaffiliating with traditional faiths or belong to minority spiritualities may not use the same coping mechanisms. The current study sought to contribute to the literature by obtaining a better understanding of whether the use of traditional spiritual activities and perceptions of God are different for spiritual majorities and minorities especially in managing anxiety. Using a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults (n=1525) from the Baylor Religion Study, structural equation models were tested to examine the relationships between anxiety and religious beliefs related to attachment to God as well as between anxiety and spiritual activities that encompass both social, organizational and private, subjective religiosity. Minority stress and attachment theories guided hypotheses that higher levels of anxiety would be associated with status as a spiritual minority but would be positively mediated by participation in spiritual activities such as worship services, prayer and scripture reading as well as mediated by more secure attachment to God. Results indicated that unlike spiritual majorities, spiritual minorities show lower anxiety levels compared with spiritual majorities unless using traditional forms of spiritual activities. Rather than positive or negative perceptions of the relationship with God, inconsistent perceptions were associated with higher levels of anxiety for all participants. Spiritual minorities had lower levels of both positive and negative perceptions of God's persona as well as lower levels of positive perceptions of the relationship with God, none of which correlated to anxiety. The results may indicate that spiritual minorities use other activities to successfully cope with anxiety and that they have greater anxiety when trying to conform to the dominant culture. This has important implications for practice given that many therapists lack training on how to incorporate spirituality into treatment. Distinctions between perceptions of the relationship with God and of God's persona indicate the need for further study of how more nuanced spiritual beliefs influence anxiety outcomes for a diverse range of spiritual practice and of the process by which individuals intentionally use spiritual tools to cope with anxiety.Ph.

Full textAbstract:
Interviews were conducted with 44 highly religious women from three demographics: Mennonite, Evangelical Christians and Cajun Catholics. The results provide insight into the reasons that faith appears to play a part in making motherwork a deliberate choice for many women. Comparing and contrasting the interviews within and between demographics as well as allowing for the influences of modern academia and media on attitudes toward motherwork grants voice to these often marginalized religious minorities. The resulting analysis shows that all of these women, to varying degrees, find value in motherwork. Each group seemed to have a perspective of this work which was unique between and yet common within the specific demographic. Across groups was a pronounced unity of thought that motherwork is profoundly important and that one is culpable before God in her execution of this potentially divine work

Full textAbstract:
Religious Commitment is a construct known to be predictive of various health-related factors of importance to researchers. However, data collection efficiency and instrument brevity in healthcare settings are priorities regardless of the construct being measured. Brief, valid instruments are particularly valuable in health research and will be vital for testing mechanisms by which health may be improved or maintained. This series of studies aims to demonstrate that Religious Commitment can be validly measured with a very brief instrument, the Religious Surrender & Attendance Scale-3 (RSAS-3), which combines a 2-item measure of Surrender, a specific type of religious coping, with a 1-item measure of Attendance at religious services. Three studies are reported, two utilizing undergraduate university students (Ns = 964 and 466) and one utilizing a clinical-based pregnant population (N = 320), all in southern Appalachia. The original 12-item Surrender Scale, a 2-item subset of Surrender items, and Attendance were found to be highly positively correlated with each other and with Intrinsic Religiosity, an additional measure of Religious Commitment employed to demonstrate concurrent validity. Religiosity variables were found to be strongly negatively correlated with Anxiety and stress, which were the health outcomes of interest. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to confirm the similarity of Anxiety and stress prediction using the 12-item and 2-item Surrender measures and to confirm the superior stress prediction of the 3-item instrument RSAS-3. The RSAS-3 is recommended as a measure of Religious Commitment in future health research.

Previous issue date: 2003-12-31The present work comes as a research object of the adult population of streets in Goiânia, here represented by adult individuals that, independently of color, sex, religious creed, they present them selves with broken family relationships or in imminence of it. They make the urban public space their home. In the rise of XXI century on behalf of the modern capitalism, Goiânia comes across it s fragility in social attendance politics and welcomes in it s streets the homeless in absolute poverty. Although they seem to possess nothing, they bring inside themselves the strength that keep them linked to the human race, witch is God. This force always present in their speech is a living presence witch despite all keep them linked to their human identity. The rupture or misadjust of family tides shown in this work as one of the factors that make them go to the streets, as well as chemical dependence deserve future deep thoughts. Although the respect that the adult street population of Goiânia show to the Institutional Religion, they do not follow it s beliefs. This is the effect of centuries of religious creed making presence in the cultural and religious world of homeless in Goiânia. Faith in God transcends the churches and the institutional walls.
O presente trabalho aborda como objeto de pesquisa a população adulta de rua de Goiânia, aqui representada por indivíduos adultos que, independentemente da raça, da cor, do sexo, do credo religioso, da etnia, estão com os vínculos sociais e familiares rompidos ou na iminência de rompê-los e fazem do espaço público urbano, sua moradia. Em nome da modernidade capitalista, em pleno século XXI, Goiânia depara-se com sua fragilidade no âmbito da política de assistência social e "acolhe" em suas ruas os filhos da miséria absoluta. São pessoas que embora nada pareçam possuir, trazem dentro de si uma grande força, a crença em Deus, que os mantém ligados à raça humana. Essa mesma força, representada em seus discursos O faz presença viva e é o sustentáculo para manutenção de sua identidade de ser humano. O rompimento e/ou desajuste familiar abordado nesse trabalho como um dos fatores propiciadores à ida do indivíduo às ruas, bem como a dependência química, merecem futuras reflexões em águas mais profundas. Quanto à religião institucional, a população adulta de rua em Goiânia, embora a respeite ao dizer ser ela importante, não se prende a seus dogmas. É o reflexo da secularização marcando sua presença no mundo cultural religioso das ruas em Goiânia: sua fé e crença em Deus transcendem as paredes institucionais.

A segunda década do terceiro milênio chega ao fim e, com ela, um cenário político conservador. No Brasil, o poder da bancada BBB (Bala, Boi e Bíblia) no Congresso e a popularidade do presidenciável Jair Bolsonaro atestam isso. Esse cenário é resultado, em parte, da crescente influência das igrejas pentecostais e neopentecostais na arena política, havendo, em geral, uma convergência entre as posições ideológicas dos evangélicos e seus valores familiares. Para compreender esse fenômeno, fez-se um estudo de caso do mito familiar de uma denominação neopentecostal em particular: a Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD), o maior fenômeno religioso do Brasil dos últimos 30 anos, tomando-se como objeto de estudo a literatura produzida sobre e por seu líder e por membros de sua família. Os marcos teóricos do estudo foram: o pensamento do psiquiatra suíço Carl Gustav Jung, criador da psicologia analítica e a sociologia do neopentecostalimo brasileiro. A mitologia familiar IURDiana foi compreendida principalmente a partir do estudo sobre o mito familiar IURDiano, dividida em: o mito do herói, o mito do Eterno Feminino e o mito familiar propriamente dito, um construto teórico ainda pouco explorado na comunidade Junguiana. Outros intérpretes do mito também foram incluídos: Simone de Beauvoir, Joseph Campbell, Mircea Eliade e James Hillman. Apresentou-se um breve histórico sobre as três ondas do pentecostalismo no país e da trajetória da IURD, desde a sua fundação à inauguração do Templo de Salomão. A análise centrou-se nos perfis do homem, da mulher e da família de Deus idealizados por Edir Macedo. Foram apontadas como características da teologia IURDiana: a submissão da mulher, o domínio da razão sobre emoção, o fomento à prosperidade material e a luta constante contra outros credos, havendo evidências de que o mito familiar da Igreja Universal seja uma adaptação pós-moderna da “família tradicional” brasileira. Esta seria uma família patriarcal, cuja configuração coloca o mito pessoal do pai como o mito central da família. Esse modelo de família tradicional ajudaria as fiéis da IURD a recuperarem a unidade familiar e serem valorizadas frente a situações de exclusão econômica e social. As posturas contraditórias dos pastores, obreiros e até do próprio Bispo perante o seu mito familiar também foram discutidas.
The second decade of the third millennium is brought to an end, and with it comes a conservative bent in the political scenario. In Brazil, the power of the BOB (Bullet, Ox, and Bible) parliamentary bench and presidential Jair Bolsanaro’s popularity attests that. This scenario is in part the result of the growing influence of Pentecostal and Neo-Pentecostal churches in the political arena, with a general convergence between the ideological positions of evangelicals and their family values. In order to understand this phenomenon, a case study was made of the family myth of a Neo-Pentecostal denomination in particular: the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, the greatest religious phenomenon in Brazil in the last 30 years, taking as the object of study the literature about and by their leader, Edir Macedo, and members of his family. The theoretical frameworks of the study were: the ideas of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung, analytical psychology’s founder and the sociology of Brazilian neopentecostalism. The IURDian mythology was mainly understood from the study on the IURDian family myth, divided into: the myth of the hero, the myth of the Eternal Feminine and the family myth properly said, a theoretical construct still unexplored in the Jungian community. Other interpreters of the myth were also included: Simone de Beauvoir, Joseph Campbell, MirceaEliade and James Hillman. A brief history was given of the three waves of Pentecostalism in the country and the trajectory of the IURD, from its foundation to the inauguration of Solomon’s Temple. The analysis focused on Edir Macedo’s idealized profiles of the man, woman and family of God. Some characteristics of IURDian theology: the submission of women, reason over emotion, the promotion of wealth and the constant clash against other religions, with evidence that the family myth of the Universal Church is a postmodern adaptation of the “traditional” Brazilian family. It’s a patriarchal family whose arrangement puts the personal myth of the father as the central myth of the family. This traditional family model helps IURD’s female churchgoers to recover family unity and to be valued in the face of economic and social exclusion. The contradictory positions of pastors, laborers and even the Bishop himself in the face of their family myth were also discussed.

Visame pasaulyje vis plačiau toleruojamos antišeimiškos vertybės. Jaučiama taip pat ir moralinio reliatyvizmo įtaka, teigianti, kad nėra vienos privalomos etinės ar moralinės tiesos, ir skelbianti tariamą laisvę, iš tiesų tik atskiriančią žmogų nuo žmogaus. Tokioje situacijoje šiandieninė Katalikų Bažnyčia aktyviai vykdo teologines bei pastoracines paieškas, siekdama įveikti vis didėjantį tarpusavio susvetimėjimą ir individualizmą šeimoje bei dabartinę šeimos krizę, besireiškiančią plintančia kohabitacija bei skyrybomis. Katalikiškoji teologija akcentuoja Dievo trinitarinį gyvenimą esant tinkamiausiu santuokos pirmavaizdžiu. Šeima yra unikali būtent savo panašumu į Dievo paveikslą ir tam tikra prasme yra apreiškimas, nurodantis, koks turėtų būti žmonių santykis su Dievu ir vienas kitu. Savo meilės bendryste vyras ir moteris santuokoje atspindi Trivienio Dievo paveikslą. Žmogus sukurtas pagal Dievo paveikslą turi asmeninį Dievo kvietimą meilės dialogui, bendrystei. Dialogo, pokalbio, komunikacijos matmuo yra esminė žmogaus tiesa. Žmogus save suvokia tik akistatoje su kitu. Santuokos kaip dialogo supratimas reiškia kokybiškai naują sutuoktinių buvimą kartu - buvimą santykyje, dialoge su nuostata girdėti suprasti, dalintis ir atleisti. Būti žmogumi reiškia būti pašauktam tarpasmeninei žmogiškai bendrystei, kurios pavyzdys matomas Trejybės Asmenų bendrystėje, kur visų tarpasmeninių santykių pamatas - buvimas dovana. Sutuoktiniai realizuoja šį pašaukimą meilei per santuoką.
... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]This bachelor paper studies the positive experience of the retreat movement “Encounters hof Spouses”. This movement aims at reconciliation of families where spouses have relationship problems. This movement encourages openness and dialogue between spouses which is based on discovering the image and likeness of God in the human person. The paper therefore, stresses the role of understanding both oneself and the other person as having natural dignity and worth due to the image and likeness of God. This understanding leads to an open dialogue between spouses which brings confidence, trust and new unity. The methodology of the research was participant observation. The spouses shared their experience by talking and analyzing the positive changes in their relationships. The paper aims at the theological anthropological generalization of this help to families and provides some recommendations of how to apply this experience more widely. Thus , the paper is relevant and important for today’s society and Christian communities. The first part of the paper discusses the theological aspects of the human person and marriage in God’s plan for this world as seen from the documents of the Catholic Church. It deals with the Christian idea of the family as a reflection of the Trinitarian Union and as a vocation for divine love, as well as complete self-giving. It also analyzes marriage as a sacrament. The second part of the paper is devoted to the phenomenon of the dialogue as the basic... [to full text]

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse montre que l’ecclésiologie de l’Église-Famille de Dieu peut se construire en articulation avec la question de la protection sociale des prêtres, et que corrélativement la problématique de la protection sociale des ministres sacrés peut se penser par rapport à la théologie de l’Église-Famille de Dieu. Le repérage des failles dans les pratiques ecclésiales de protection sociale des prêtres en cours en Côte d’Ivoire et leur divergence avec les textes du magistère de l’Église m’amènent à considérer un principe : l’organisation d’une protection sociale des prêtres vise à libérer ces derniers des inquiétudes pour l’avenir, qui peuvent nuire à leur ministère et à leur disponibilité dans le temps présent. De plus, lorsqu’elles sont resituées dans le contexte théologique et pastoral de la nouvelle évangélisation, et qu’elles sont mises en dialogue entre elles, la problématique ecclésiologique de l’Église-Famille et celle de la protection sociale des prêtres évoquent l’enjeu majeur de l’engagement social des chrétiens. Si la réception d’une théologie de l’engagement contribue à l’émergence d’un engagement chrétien authentique, l’ecclésiologie entrepreneuriale propose l’entrepreneuriat pastoral comme une autre façon d’entreprendre en Église-Famille pour réussir le pari de la protection sociale des prêtres, conformément au vœu des Pères du Concile repris dans le Code de droit canonique de 1983This thesis demonstrates that the ecclesiology of the Church-God’s family can be built in relation to the issue of the social welfare for the priests, and linked to that, the issue of the social welfare for the sacred ministers can be thought about with regard to the theology of the Church as Family of God. The finding of weaknesses in the ecclesial practices of the social welfare for the priests which exists in Côte d’Ivoire and their difference with the Church magisterium texts makes me consider a principle: the organization of a social welfare for priests aims at making them free from worries in the future, which can harm (endanger) their ministry and their availability in the present time. In addition, when they are restored in the pastoral and theological context of the new evangelization, and if they are in connection, the ecclesiological issue of the Church-Family and that of the social welfare for the priests evoke the major stake of the Christians’ social commitment. If the reception of a theology of commitment contributes to an emergence of an authentic Christian commitment, the entrepreneurial ecclesiology suggests the pastoral entrepreneurship as another way to undertake in Church-Family to make a success of the bet of the social welfare for the priests in accordance with the wish of the Council Fathers taken back in the Code of Canon law of 1983

Full textAbstract:
Diese Arbeit bietet eine solide theoretische Grundlage zu Philanthropie und religiös motivierten Spendenaktivitäten und deren Einfluss auf Wohltätigkeitstrends, Entwicklungszusammenarbeit und einer auf dem Gedanken der sozialen Gerechtigkeit beruhenden Philanthropie. Untersucht werden dafür die Strukturen religiös motivierte Spenden, für die in der islamischen Tradition die Begriffe „zakat“, „Waqf“ oder im Plural auch „awqaf-“ oder „Sadaqa“ verwendet werden, der christliche Begriff dafür lautet „tithes“ oder „ushour“. Aufbauend auf diesem theoretischen Rahmenwerk analysiert die qualitative und quantitative Feldstudie auf nationaler Ebene, wie die ägyptische Öffentlichkeit Philanthropie, soziale Gerechtigkeit, Menschenrechte, Spenden, Freiwilligenarbeit und andere Konzepte des zivilgesellschaftlichen Engagements wahrnimmt. Um eine umfassende und repräsentative Datengrundlage zu erhalten, wurden 2000 Haushalte, 200 zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen erfasst, sowie Spender, Empfänger, religiöse Wohltäter und andere Akteure interviewt. Die so gewonnen Erkenntnisse lassen aussagekräftige Aufschlüsse über philanthropische Trends zu. Erstmals wird so auch eine finanzielle Einschätzung und Bewertung der Aktivitäten im lokalen Wohltätigkeitsbereich möglich, die sich auf mehr als eine Billion US-Dollar beziffern lassen. Die Erhebung weist nach, dass gemessen an den Pro-Kopf-Aufwendungen die privaten Spendenaktivitäten weitaus wichtiger sind als auswärtige wirtschaftliche Hilfe für Ägypten. Das wiederum lässt Rückschlüsse zu, welche Bedeutung lokale Wohltätigkeit erlangen kann, wenn sie richtig gesteuert wird und nicht wie bislang oft im Teufelskreis von ad-hoc-Spenden oder Hilfen von Privatperson an Privatperson gefangen ist. Die Studie stellt außerdem eine Verbindung her zwischen lokalen Wohltätigkeits-Mechanismen, die meist auf religiösen und kulturellen Werten beruhen, und modernen Strukturen, wie etwa Gemeinde-Stiftungen oder Gemeinde-„waqf“, innerhalb derer die Spenden eine nachhaltige Veränderung bewirken können. Daher bietet diese Arbeit also eine umfassende wissenschaftliche Grundlage, die nicht nur ein besseres Verständnis, sondern auch den nachhaltiger Aus- und Aufbau lokaler Wohltätigkeitsstrukturen in Ägypten ermöglicht. Zentral ist dabei vor allem die Rolle lokaler, individueller Spenden, die beispielsweise für Stiftungen auf der Gemeindeebene eingesetzt, wesentlich zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung beitragen könnten – und das nicht nur in Ägypten, sondern in der gesamten arabischen Region. Als konkretes Ergebnis dieser Arbeit, wurde ein innovatives Modell entwickelt, dass neben den wissenschaftlichen Daten das Konzept der „waqf“ berücksichtigt. Der Wissenschaftlerin und einem engagierten Vorstand ist es auf dieser Grundlage gelungen, die Waqfeyat al Maadi Community Foundation (WMCF) zu gründen, die nicht nur ein Modell für eine Bürgerstiftung ist, sondern auch das tradierte Konzept der „waqf“ als praktikable und verbürgte Wohlstätigkeitsstruktur sinnvoll weiterentwickelt.This work provides a solid theoretical base on philanthropy, religious giving (Islamic zakat, ‘ushour, Waqf -plural: awqaf-, Sadaqa and Christian tithes or ‘ushour), and their implications on giving trends, development work, social justice philanthropy. The field study (quantitative and qualitative) that supports the theoretical framework reflects at a national level the Egyptian public’s perceptions on philanthropy, social justice, human rights, giving and volunteering and other concepts that determine the peoples’ civic engagement. The statistics cover 2000 households, 200 Civil Society Organizations distributed all over Egypt and interviews donors, recipients, religious people and other stakeholders. The numbers reflect philanthropic trends and for the first time provide a monetary estimate of local philanthropy of over USD 1 Billion annually. The survey proves that the per capita share of philanthropy outweighs the per capita share of foreign economic assistance to Egypt, which implies the significance of local giving if properly channeled, and not as it is actually consumed in the vicious circle of ad-hoc, person to person charity. In addition, the study relates local giving mechanisms derived from religion and culture to modern actual structures, like community foundations or community waqf that could bring about sustainable change in the communities. In sum, the work provides a comprehensive scientific base to help understand- and build on local philanthropy in Egypt. It explores the role that local individual giving could play in achieving sustainable development and building a new wave of community foundations not only in Egypt but in the Arab region at large. As a tangible result of this thesis, an innovative model that revives the concept of waqf and builds on the study’s results was created by the researcher and a dedicated board of trustees who succeeded in establishing Waqfeyat al Maadi Community Foundation (WMCF) that not only introduces the community foundation model to Egypt, but revives and modernizes the waqf as a practical authentic philanthropic structure.

This thesis investigates the links between politics and the press during the crisis of the liberal state in Europe. During the 19th century, one of the biggest challenges facing the liberal state was how to give voice to local concerns. In countries with a centralised state-model and where liberal principles coexisted with other forms of authority that originated in the Old Regime, local elites (or notables) emerged as intermediaries between the state and the territory. However, while the literature has emphasised that these elites secured their position via patron-client relationships, little is known about how they also used the public sphere as a way to reinforce their legitimacy. Focusing on the press as one of the strategies used by elites to secure their advantaged position in society and embrace new spheres of influence, this thesis will focus on the Godó family, a dynasty of politicians, manufacturers and press proprietors who founded what is Spain's oldest (still active) newspaper and Barcelona's top-selling paper today: La Vanguardia. Divided into three parts, the thesis will first examine the role of newspapers in political systems where clientelism was the main means of distributing public office. The case of the Godó family and La Vanguardia is used to throw light on this, and on the importance of transnational media transfers in transforming the newspapers' raison d'être. The second part explores how the Godó family tried to engineer public opinion to advance their private agenda during the colonial wars in Morocco and Cuba. The family underwent a serious reversal of fortune in the early 20th century, when the demise of the Spanish empire and the ensuing climate of national introspection led journalists to be accused of wilfully misguiding the public and denounced as collaborators in the corrupt regime of elections. Yet contrary to the downfall of the notables narrative, which sees the demise of Europe's traditional elites as the outcome of the crisis of liberal politics, this thesis shows that elites had a wide room for manoeuvre to maintain their influence in the new mass society. The final part of the thesis examines the strategies the Godó family designed to adapt to this new scenario, and the function that the press played in them. Drawing on the emerging field of media history, the interdisciplinary perspective adopted here will redress the traditional lack of dialogue between historians and media scholars, providing a novel perspective on the crisis of liberalism in Europe – where press editors are interpreted as political actors, and changes in communicative channels are understood as intricately connected to changes in the nature of power.

Full textAbstract:
My dissertation consists of fifty poems that create a narrative arc of a woman's life and beyond. The poems consider and reconsider a woman's place and displacement within the family unit, society, and religion, and focus on major events in a woman's life: childhood, marriage, motherhood, divorce, grand-motherhood, and the deaths of children, siblings, and parents. Many of the poems focus on representations of women in art--in particular, religious art. Several poems consider constructions of God inside religion and outside conventional religion, and explore ideas of the soul before and after death.
The majority of the poems are written in free verse, but I have included various other classic forms as well as nonce forms.
My poetry attempts to make sense of my experiences. Much of my past work concerns my son's death, and while I have a number of poems that reference that event in this book as well, the majority of the poems spring from situations I have experienced that I was not able to fully process when they were happening. While these events are particular to me personally (my parent's divorce and my divorces; my son's diagnosis, deteriorating illness, and death; my daughter's marriage and motherhood), I believe that grappling with the significance of these events in my life honestly and crafting art from them is an important endeavor, one that can have meaning and significance for readers.
My aesthetics have been influenced by Leon Stokesbury, Beth Gylys, and David Bottoms through working with me at GSU. Poets I have studied who have influenced my work include Amy Clampitt and Pattiann Rogers, because of their close observations of the natural world and unapologetically feminine perspective on that world. Pattiann Rogers combines natural science and metaphysics in her poetry to great effect and I pursue similar themes in my book.
My interest and curiosity about the world around me is the wellspring for my creative processes and investigating ideas about the world revealed in science and reflected in art helps me put my life’s experiences in a context I can respond to in my poetry.

Full textAbstract:
Over the course of the long nineteenth century, American Christianity changed dramatically, leaving lasting imprints on how families lived, worked, played, and prayed. As America’s prolific “first family,” the Adamses of Massachusetts were key interpreters of the place of religion within a rapidly changing American republic facing denominational turf wars, anti-Catholic violence, a burgeoning market economy, Civil War, shifting gender roles, and the collapse of providentialism. Constant globe-trotters who documented their cultural travels, the Adamses developed a cosmopolitan Christianity that blended discovery and criticism, faith and doubt. Claiming Puritan ancestry and the supremacy of a Unitarian covenant with God, the family was unusually forthright in exploring a subject as personal and provocative as faith.
This dissertation shows how they interpreted religious ideas and rites in America over three centuries of civic service. I argue that the Adamses’ cosmopolitan encounters led them to become leading lay critics of New England religion, even as they marshaled Christian rhetoric to sustain American democracy. While scholars of American religion have relied on “fringe” groups to explain the growth and democratization of American Christianity, little has been studied of seekers like the Adamses, transnational agents of American thought and culture who sought avidly among other faiths yet chose to stay within the mainline fold. My study offers a new perspective on the political dynasty, by mapping the religious journeys of Americans who looked for God in eclectic places and then made their return, greatly changed, to the family pew.

Full textAbstract:
Until recently Alice Cary's works have gone largely unnoticed by
the literary community, and those critics who have examined her
writings have recognized her primarily as a regionalist sketch writer.
However, studying Cary's total body of fiction, including her novels and
children's fiction as well as her sketches, and examining the influence of
Christian Universalism upon her work reveals that Cary is a much more
complex and nuanced writer than she has been previously understood
to be. This dissertation explores the way that Cary questions
stereotypes of accepted behavior specifically as they pertain to the
identities of men, women, and children and offers a more flexible and
inclusive religious identity rooted in Universalist ideals.
In her depictions of women, Cary uses tropes from gothic stories,
fairy tales, and sentimental fiction to criticize evangelical faith,
Transcendentalism, and separate spheres-based stereotypes of women's behavior, and she undermines these stereotypes and replaces them with
a Universalist emphasis on communal service and identity. Similarly,
Cary's depictions of manhood are influenced by her desire to dissect
preconceived notions of masculinity like that of the Self-Made Man and
his earlier counterparts the Genteel Patriarch and the Heroic Artisan
and replace these stereotypes with a Universalist model that embraces
gender fluidity and sacrifice of self interest for the larger community.
Cary's treatment of children continues her critique of nineteenth century
stereotypes. Cary, unlike most early nineteenth century writers,
exposes the dangers of romanticized visions of middle class children,
which physically isolated children from their families and endangered
working class children by increasing the demand for child labor; thus
Cary's Universalism leads her to depict all children, not just the wealthy
ones, as God's children and worthy of protection. Cary also uses
children metaphorically to represent minorities and tentatively question
the treatment of African Americans and Native Americans. Cary stands
as a prime example of an author who has been overlooked and whose
obscurity has hindered the construction of literary history, particularly
in regard to the antebellum roots of realism and the influence of liberal
religious belief on realistic fiction.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: This study explores the online recruitment and mobilization of followers in a social movement. In this study, I identify and analyze how certain narratives were produced, distributed and recirculated online by a social movement organization that depicted players in the movement in ways that engaged followers in actions of advocacy and support. Also, I examine how particular narratives were taken up, negotiated, amplified, and distributed by online supporters who eventually become co-tellers of the narrative and ultimately advocates on behalf of the social movement. By examining a selection of media statements, open letters, protest speeches, blogs, videos and pictures, I show how online practices might contribute to inspiring and mobilizing action or responses from a large number of followers. Data include selected excerpts from an online social movement that began in Norway in 2015 and later gathered momentum and strength outside of Norway and Europe. This multi-modal analysis of digital practices demonstrates how collaboratively produced narratives (e.g., of suffering, sorrow, persecution or resilience) emerge and gain traction in the digital space, the relationship between the temporal and spatial dimensions of narrative, and the role of collective memory in building a sense of community and shared identity. Demonstrating the dialogic and interactional dimensions of meaning-making processes, this case study informs how we might theorize and understand the role of identity and narrative in the emergence and amplification of social movements.Dissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between children’s grief and their perceptions of God by utilizing children’s drawings. This research was conducted by partnering with Christian counselors and teachers who interviewed two groups of children to collect data. Counselors interviewed the experimental group of children who were between the ages of 6-12 and had experienced the death of an immediate family member. Teachers interviewed the control group of children who were between the ages of 6-12 and had not experienced the death of an immediate family member. Both groups were asked specific questions in efforts to ascertain if children in the midst of grief perceived God differently.
A multilevel triangulation design was used in this study with the first phase being qualitative and the second quantitative. In phase one, both the experimental group and control group of children were each interviewed and asked to respond to these questions by drawing their answers. Upon completion of the drawings, each child was asked a series of follow-up questions in efforts to provide explanations for their drawings. Select demographic information was also collected as a part of the interview process. Phase 2 utilized a quantitative approach. A panel of raters was assigned with the task of looking for specified, coded patterns or images in each child’s drawn or verbal response. Each panel member received a description of characteristics for which to look, as well as a Thurstone scale to assess the frequency of the characteristics. Upon evaluation, this data was sent back to the researcher for anecdotal analysis.
The qualitative data was collected and the results were analyzed utilizing two statistical analyses methods including a Mann-Whitney test and a four-way ANOVA. While the Mann-Whitney was used to determine the correlation between death and a child’s perception of God, the ANOVA was performed to analyze the role demographics played in children’s perception of God after they experienced a parental or sibling death. Findings from the analyses are discussed in terms of implications for future research as well as possible applications for the research.
