Full textThe crack cocaine phenomenon nowadays has attracted attention due to the gravity of the social and health consequences experienced by users that can reach the extreme to lead homelessness experiences. Although people living on streets for different reasons, crack cocaine users have potentiated the characteristics linked to homelessness, which may cause marginalization and difficulties to remain with families. The aim of this research was to comprehend how happens the crack cocaine user\'s trajectories to the street situation from the families\' perspective. Qualitative study that used the systems approach as a theoretical framework and the narrative as methodological framework. The study was conducted in a Psycho-Social Care Centre for substance misuse of Ribeirão Preto city, São Paulo, firstly from family therapy groups and later by indications of professionals from this service. The participants were 11 families of crack users intentionally chosen according to criteria established previously. The following data collection instruments were used: 1) questionnaire with socioeconomic and demographic information of the relatives and the families, 2) questionnaire with user\'s data, 3) genogram, 4) in-depth interview with narrative and systemic focus, from a guiding question and 5) field diary. The dynamic of the interviews followed the composition of the data collection instruments, and all participants were interviewed twice. After the full transcript of the first interview, was prepared a report containing the main topics addressed by the subjects, as well as construction of questions for deepening in the second interview. The narratives produced by both interviews were grouped and transcribed fullly. Was used the inductive thematic analysis and validation of the categories by judges. Was found that the family understands the crack cocaine user\'s trajectories from two moments, configuring the categories of study: one before the process of the street situation, where they return to the past to narrate events about the life history of the users, entitled \"On the road of stones\": the return to the past to explain the present\"; and later, where they narrated about related events specifically related to the initiation to the crack cocaine use and the process of homelessness, called \"There is a nut among us\": the familiar understanding of the occurrence of the street situation. In conclusion, we belive that drug use prevention strategies should begin early, especially in the school system, and actions to take knowledge about drugs to the family system of crack cocaine users is urgent need

Full textL’historial mèdic d’un pacient pot contenir informació relativa a l’estat de salut de la seva família biològica, la qual cosa planteja la qüestió de si la privacitat del pacient i l’autonomia dels seus familiars són compatibles. Aquesta qüestió s’ha tornat especialment urgent en les darreres dècades amb la incorporació de les tècniques genètiques a les pràctiques mèdiques. Habitualment, els professionals sanitaris estan subjectes a l’obligació professional de respecte a la confidencialitat de la informació del pacient. Llevat que existeixin circumstàncies extraordinàries, no poden revelar dades sobre la salut del pacient a la seva família. Aquesta limitació a l’accés a la informació impedeix que els parents consanguinis rebin una millor atenció mèdica i prenguin decisions vitals de forma totalment autònoma. En canvi, el model d’història clínica familiar d’accés obert conceptualitza la privacitat genètica a escala de grup i ofereix un entorn segur i just per a tots els parents consanguinis per tal que puguin exercir els seus drets individuals. Aquesta investigació examina els enfocaments històrics per a la regulació dels drets humans en matèria d’atenció sanitària, posant el focus en l’aparició del dret a la privacitat i les condicions que donen lloc a una confrontació entre el/la pacient i la seva família. Addicionalment, aquesta investigació presenta una anàlisi comparativa de la legislació en matèria d’informació genètica establerta als ordenaments jurídics d’Espanya, Suïssa, Regne Unit i Estats Units. Tant l’enfocament històric com l’anàlisi comparativa posen sobre la taula el problema d’una protecció desequilibrada dels drets, que resulta de la discrepància entre els diferents camins que la ciència i el dret han emprès durant un temps. Per omplir aquest buit i resoldre aquest conflicte innecessari entre drets, proposem una nova definició del terme informació genètica. Aquesta definició serveix com a base per al disseny d’un sistema de dos nivells dels historials mèdics electrònics, que permetria a qualsevol persona un accés sense obstacles a la informació relativa a la pròpia salut. Sobre la base de les nostres anàlisis i troballes, concloem que la privacitat genètica s’estén més enllà de l’àmbit del dret individual i afecta a un nombre major d’individus, és a dir, tots els parents biològics d’una família genètica determinada. Recomanem aplicar el model d’història clínica familiar d’accés obert a les relacions entre pacients, les seves famílies i els professionals sanitaris encarregats del seu tractament. Aquest disseny és viable i reflecteix millor les necessitats de totes les parts implicades. Aquestes recomanacions teòriques poden implementar-se de forma gradual i harmoniosa en els sistemes sanitaris, malgrat que reconeixem que alguns detalls relatius a la seva aplicació ampliada a d’altres camps, com ara la investigació clínica, requereixen un major aprofundiment.
El historial médico de un paciente puede contener información relativa al estado de salud de su familia biológica, lo cual plantea la cuestión de si la privacidad del paciente y la autonomía de sus familiares son compatibles. Esta cuestión se ha vuelto especialmente acuciante en las últimas décadas con la incorporación de las técnicas genéticas a las prácticas médicas. Lo habitual es que los profesionales sanitarios estén sujetos a la obligación profesional de respeto a la confidencialidad de la información del paciente. Salvo que existan circunstancias extraordinarias, no pueden revelar datos sobre la salud del paciente a su familia. Dicha limitación al acceso a la información impide que los parientes consanguíneos reciban una mejor atención médica y tomen decisiones vitales de forma completamente autónoma. En cambio, el modelo de historia clínica familiar de acceso abierto conceptualiza la privacidad genética a escala de grupo, ofreciendo un entorno seguro y justo a todos los parientes consanguíneos a fin de que puedan ejercer sus derechos individuales. Esta investigación examina los enfoques históricos para la regulación de los derechos humanos en materia de atención sanitaria, poniendo el foco en la aparición del derecho a la privacidad y las condiciones que dan lugar a una confrontación entre el/la paciente y su familia. Adicionalmente, esta investigación presenta un análisis comparativo de la legislación en materia de información genética establecida en los ordenamientos jurídicos de España, Suiza, Reino Unido y Estados Unidos. Tanto el enfoque histórico como el análisis comparativo sacan a relucir el problema de una protección desequilibrada de los derechos, que resulta de la discrepancia entre los distintos caminos emprendidos por la ciencia y el derecho durante algún tiempo. A fin de salvar esta brecha y resolver este conflicto innecesario entre derechos, proponemos una nueva definición del término información genética. Esta definición sirve como base para el diseño de un sistema de dos niveles de los historiales médicos electrónicos, que permitiría a cualquier persona un acceso sin obstáculos a la información acerca de la propia salud. Sobre la base de nuestros análisis y hallazgos, concluimos que la privacidad genética se extiende más allá del ámbito del derecho individual y afecta a un número mayor de individuos, a saber, todos los parientes biológicos de una familia genética determinada. Recomendamos aplicar el modelo de historia clínica familiar de acceso abierto a las relaciones entre pacientes, sus familias y los profesionales sanitarios encargados de su tratamiento. Este diseño es viable y refleja mejor las necesidades de todas las partes implicadas. Estas recomendaciones teóricas pueden implementarse de forma gradual y armoniosa en los sistemas sanitarios, aunque reconocemos que algunos detalles relativos a su aplicación ampliada a otros campos, como la investigación clínica, requieren una mayor profundización.

Full textThis proposal continues the research agenda beeing developed by the author and other researchers to the Group for Research in Language Sciences regarding the linguistic and psychological phenomena involved in aphasia. Aphasia is part of a neurological problem. Its study has begun in neurology field whose understanding of considered only the organic aspects. From Freud, then, by Jakobson the study of aphasia expend to other fields and it is now considered not only in its organic aspects but also psychological and linguistic. The position of theses authors guides the present research. Thus, aphasia is seen as a disturbance in the functioning of language, involving linguistic and subject factories. As a result, the aphasic one suffers from discouragement and depression, which affects the treatment. The relationship with the family also goes only greatly affected, but this relationship is critical to its reestablishment. This research aims to investigate the interaction between aphasic ones, and aphasic ones and his family, belonging to the group of living of the Catholic University of Pernambuco. The language difficulties are observed as well as its repercussions in theseinteration, besides analyzing the circulation the word among the aphasic group. Coexistence and to investigate when they drive and how welcome the word of relatives and, finally to investigate incidents stemming from subjective difficulties languages. The methodology of this work uses the line of qualitative research which consists of nine case studies. The analysis identified the linguistic quality of interaction established among aphasic ones Group Living in the Catholic University of Pernambuco, noting the difficulties of language and how those difficulties affect his objectivity on, becoming a burden, while freezes them and isolates them as a consequence of the impossibility of exercising the language. It was possible to analyze how these modify the difficulties of aphasic ones with their families

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Due to a lack of research, which, in turn, resulted in a shortage of applicable literature that focused on the experiences and socio-emotional needs of family members as carers of AIDS-patients, the researcher decided to undertake this research project. The aim of this was to investigate the experiences and socio-emotional needs of family members as AIDS care givers. To lead the research, the researcher made use of a qualitative research approach. Attention was also given to the description of HIV/AIDS, as well as the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS. The impact of HIV/AIDS was also given attention, and it was done from an ecological perspective. Within the qualitative research paradigm a phenomenological, explorative, descriptive and contextual research design was utilised. The boundaries for data collection were delineated to the George area. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with family members who acted as primary care givers of AIDS-patients who were recruited by means of purposive sampling and the snowball sampling technique. The data collected were analysed according to the steps for qualitative data analysis as proposed by Tesch (in Cresswell, 1994). To ensure the trustworthiness of the research findings, data verification was executed according to Guba’s model (in Krefting, 1991). The following twelve themes emanated from the process of data analysis: - Knowledge of the disease - Caring for people with AIDS - Risky behaviour - Other people’s reactions - Care givers’ feelings and reactions - Support that was received with the care giving - Effect of the care giving on the relationship between the care giver and the patient - Changes in the care givers’ life because of the care giving of AIDS patients - Experiences regarding the dying process - Needs regarding the caring of the patient - Services that are needed - Advice from the participants to other family members as AIDS care givers. The following recommendations were made based on the conclusions derived from the research findings: Information sessions by Social Workers in collaboration with the different clinics on certain days; a community based project to recruit volunteers to support family care givers on a regular basis; look at facilities, like old age homes and hospices, that can give respite for a week to three weeks; connect family care givers to support groups in the community; make use of the media to give information regarding HIV/AIDS to the broader community; a centralized food and clothes bank from which care givers can draw affordable food and clothes. An application for funding can be done at the Department of Social Development or the Department of Health. Another recommendation that is made is to investigate the possibility of a community based project that provides cleaning and washing services to family members as care givers, as well as the patients. This can even become a job creation project. Other recommendations are: to investigate an alternative form of transport that is wheelchair accessible and patient friendly; to train home based carers to help family members as AIDS care givers; to train home based carers to be of assistance with counseling of patients with regard to their medication; to train home based carers as AIDS care givers to help family members to reach out to other support services or groups; that care givers should be careful about expectations of other people and that they should be confident enough to verbalize their expectations; that Social Workers should investigate if the family member, as AIDS care giver, as well as the patient, gets the necessary support on all levels of the ecological perspective, and if not, he/she must look at ancillary sources and mobilize it to give support to the family care giver as well as to the patient; that professionals need to keep in mind the advice the participants was given to other family members as care givers when they are working with these families. A recommendation was also made to do a follow-up research on the same topic in the White, Indian and Black communities and especially that further emphasis should be placed on their needs, as participation by this population groups were scarce or could not be obtained at all.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Weens ‘n gebrek aan navorsing, en gevolglik ook aan literatuur rakende die belewenisse en sosio-emosionele behoeftes van familielede as primêre VIGS-versorgers, het die navorser besluit om hierdie navorsingsprojek te onderneem. Die doel hiermee was om die belewenisse en sosio-emosionele behoeftes van familielede as primêre VIGS-versorgers te verken en te beskryf. Om die navorsing te rig, is ‘n kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenadering vir die doel gebruik. Aandag is ook gegee aan die beskrywing en voorkoms van MIV/VIGS, asook die voorkoming en behandeling van MIV/VIGS. Die impak van MIV/VIGS is ook breedvoerig bespreek en is dit vanuit ‘n ekologiese perspektief gedoen. Binne die kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenadering is daar van ‘n fenomenologiese, verkennende, beskrywende en kontekstuele navorsingsontwerp gebruik gemaak. Die grense vir data-insameling het binne die George-area geval. Semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude is gevoer met familielede wat as primêre VIGS-versorgers optree, en wat deur middel van ‘n doelgerigte steekproeftrekking en die sneeubaltegniek vir deelname aan die navorsing gewerf is. Die ingesamelde data is ontleed aan die hand van die agt stappe van kwalitatiewe data-ontleding van Tesch soos uiteengesit in Creswell (1994). Guba se model soos dit in Krefting (1991:214-221) uiteengesit is, is gebruik om die vertrouenswaardigheid van die navorsingsdata te verifieer. Twaalf temas het na aanleiding van die prosesse van data-ontleding na vore gekom, naamlik: - Kennis van die siektetoestand - Versorging van VIGS-lyers - Risiko-gedrag - Ander mense se reaksie - Versorger se gevoelens en reaksies - Ondersteuning wat ontvang is met die versorging - Effek van pasiënt se versorging op die verhouding tussen versorger en pasiënt - Verandering van versorger se lewe as gevolg van die versorging van die VIGS-lyer - Belewenisse ten op sigte van die sterwensproses - Behoeftes ten opsigte van die versorging van die pasiënt - Dienste wat benodig word - Raad deur deelnemers aan ander familielede as VIGS-versorgers. Voortspruitend uit die navorsingsbevindinge, is tot sekere gevolgtrekkings gekom waaruit die volgende aanbevelings gemaak is: dat inligtingsessies deur maatskaplike werkers in samewerking met die verskillende klinieke op sekere dae gehou sal word; dat ‘n gemeenskapsprojek van stapel gestuur word om vrywilligers te werf wat op ‘n gereelde basis aan VIGS-versorgers ondersteuning bied; dat daar gekyk word na respite by ouetehuise of ‘n hospice vir ‘n tydperk van ongeveer drie weke om aan versorgers ‘n ruskans te gee; dat versorgers betrek word by ondersteuningsgroepe in die gemeenskap; dat die media gebruik word om inligting oor VIGS aan die breë gemeenskap deur te gee; dat aandag gegee word aan ‘n gesentraliseerde voedsel- en klerebank waarvandaan versorgers voorraad kan onttrek. Aansoek vir befondsing kan gedoen word by Departement Maatskaplike Ontwikkeling of Departement Gesondheid. Verdere aanbevelings wat gemaak kan word, is: dat ‘n gemeenskapsprojek van stapel gestuur word om skoonmaakdienste en hulp met wasgoed was tot die beskikking van die VIGS-versorger te stel wat selfs as ‘n werkskeppingsprojek begin kan word; dat ‘n alternatiewe vorm van vervoer wat deur die familielid en pasiënt benut kan word, en wat geskik is vir pasiënt vervoer, ondersoek sal word; dat opleiding van tuisversorgers as hulp vir familielede as VIGS-versorgers aandag sal kry; dat opleiding van tuisversorgers om behulpsaam te wees met berading van pasiënte rakende hulle medikasie dringende aandag sal geniet; dat familielede as VIGS-versorgers uitreik na ander ondersteuningsbronne vir hulp; dat versorgers versigtig sal wees ten opsigte van verwagtinge van ander, maar dat hulle ook vrymoedigheid sal neem om hulle verwagtinge te verbaliseer; dat die maatskaplike werker sal ondersoek instel of die familielid as primêre VIGS-versorger, sowel as die pasiënt, vanuit al die vlakke van die ekologiese perspektief die nodige ondersteuning geniet, en indien nie, moet daar gekyk word na hulpbronne en dit moet gemobiliseer word ten einde hierdie noodsaaklike ondersteuning te bied; dat die raad wat deur die deelnemers aan die navorsing aan ander familielede as VIGS-versorgers voorsien is, in gedagte gehou sal word wanneer met hierdie families gewerk word. ‘n Aanbeveling is ook gemaak dat opvolg navorsing oor dieselfde onderwerp gedoen word onder die Wit, Indiër en Swart gemeenskappe, en dat veral klem gelê word op hulle behoeftes, aangesien deelname vanuit hierdie bevolkingsgroepe skraal was, of glad nie bekom kon word nie.

Full textThis dissertation aims to understand the functioning of families with children affected by obesity in the installation and maintenance of the disease from the perspective of parents. In this circumstance, we considered the feelings expressed by mothers and difficulties facing the obesity of children, strategies used to address the problem in the family context and indicators that could be contributing to the maintenance of the obese children. The work is divided in three articles, one theoretical and two empirical. The first presents a brief history of the human need to feed that showed the changes that led to the proliferation of obesity and, in this scenario, the changes that the family faces in adapting to the environment permeated with so many offers and constant changes, in conjunction with Systemic Theory. The second article identifies the family context under the light of the Systemic Theory, indicators of family dynamics that may be contributing to the installation and maintenance of obesity in childhood. The third article considers elements in the family history of children with obesity, the sentiments expressed by the families and the physical and psychological consequences of disease progression. The research is qualitative in nature, taking into account the experience of participating in the issue. Six mothers were interviewed and a grandmother of children, aged between 8-10 years old, who were in the outpatient clinic of Childhood Obesity Institute of Medicine Professor Fernando Figueira (IMIP) in the city of Recife. We used an interview with previously established questions, and subsequently the results were discussed based on thematic content analysis. The results indicated that all members of the system are involved in the installation of obesity, through the maternal rejection, overprotection offset by food, marital conflicts, and interference from the grandparents in the feeding of grandchildren, which shows confusion in the hierarchy. The difficulties of exchange with the environment showed that families consume of food with high contents of fat, lack of cohesion about food standards and limits are the child elements that may be contributing to the maintenance of childhood obesity

Abstract Aims. This study aims to analyze the change in family relationship, before and after hospitalization, of people who attempt to commit suicide. Background. In Taiwan, people who commit suicide without hospitalization will be watched and receive aftercare after leaving the emergency room. However, the inpatients who do accept hospitalization will not be watched or receive any further aftercare after leaving the hospital. If the inpatients, who had attempted to commit suicide, can’t acquire follow-up health care from professionals, it is very likely that they will attempt to commit suicide again. Methods.This study adopts the phenomenology approach and judgment sampling method was applied to gather cases in one medical center and one public psychiatric hospital in northern Taiwan. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were implemented in thirteen participants from November 2009 to May 2010. Results. My research findings can be summarized as follows. First of all, the family relationship of suicide attempted inpatients, before being hospitalized, can be classified into three types: conflicts, alienation, and separation. Secondly, the family relationship of these inpatients, after being discharged from the hospital, can be grouped into four categories: to refuse, to tolerate and accept, to care and support, and not to mend relationship. Thirdly, the factors that resulted in change of suicide attempted patients are significantly related to the strength to change one’s self, family support, and social support. Conclusion. This study points out that family support provides the important elements of recovery to people who had attempted to commit suicide. Thus, this study suggests that while taking care of suicide attempted patients we also need to establish family support in order to help them move towards a new life.

Full text本文的資料來自八個家庭的成員對於相關經驗的敘述。我們從三個層面來探究這些青少年的特殊經歷,包括他們對家長的經歷、他們從患病與健康家長處感受到的養育模式、以及他們所經歷的擴展家庭和社會的支持。
我們的研究發現包括:1)青少年對家長疾病的適應經歷了三個階段:漠然、焦慮、消極應對。2)患病家長大多對孩子溫暖有餘、管教不足。健康家長對孩子的管教很大程度上取決於家庭經濟情況。當經濟情況惡劣時他們往往忽視孩子的成長需求3)支援系統作用缺失。
基於以上發現,本文提煉出三個主題:在惡劣成長環境中掙扎、消極應對、缺乏支持。我們提倡為這些家庭提供社會服務。
Schizophrenia is a serious and common mental illness which has devastating effects on those affected by schizophrenia, as well as family members including their offspring. In western countries, the topic about the experience of offspring living with a parent diagnosed with schizophrenia has been studied for many years. The outcomes are useful references to the government and social workers in helping these families. However, this topic has been neglected in the Chinese context. A well-designed qualitative study has never been carried out in mainland China. The result from western researcher cannot be used in China due to the vast differences in society and culture. To fill in the gap, a qualitative research was carried out in Shanghai to study children’s experience of parental schizophrenia.
This paper is based on the narratives elicited from eight families, including the parents diagnosed with schizophrenia, the adolescent children, and sometimes other family members. We studied the experience of this special group of adolescents, which contains the experience of their parent’s mental illness, the parenting from both the parent diagnosed with schizophrenia and the healthy parent, as well as the support from extended family and the society.
Our findings include: 1) Adolescents’ attitude towards parental schizophrenia can be divided into three phases: indifference, anxiety, and finally passive coping. The help they can provide for their parents with schizophrenia is very limited in most cases. 2) The parenting they received from the parents with schizophrenia is generally perceived as with high level of warmth and low level of demandingness. The healthy parents may or may not provide enough discipline to the adolescents depending on the families’ economic status. They would fail to focus on the need of the growing children when the economic pressure is high. 3) The supportive network failed to provide enough help to the growing adolescents.
Three themes are proposed based on the findings, namely struggling in poor growing environment, passive coping, and helplessness. We advocate for the development of social work services for these families.

Vigs is 'n "sluipende moordenaar "_ Dit toon geen respek vir kultuur, status,ouderdom of geslag nie. Vigs veroorsaak 'n onnnatuurlike dood wat vriende en familie bedreig en vervreem, lank na die dood van die vigsslagoffer. Die navorsingsdoel van hierdie studie was om riglyne daar te stel vir die psigoterapeutiese hantering van die vigslyer en sy gesin. Die navorsing het getoon dat 'n stigma en skuldgevoelens rondom die vigslyer en sy gesin ontstaan het, en dat hulle direk verantwoordelik gehou word vir die siekte bloot omdat hulle betrokke is by mekaar. 'n Vraelys wat aspekte (soos dit uit die literatuurstudie geblyk het) inkorporeer, is opgestel en aan die vigslyer en sy gesin gegee om te voltooi. Van die belangrikste elemente wat na vore gekom het, is die vrees vir die onbekende, die stigma verbonde aan die siekte en die pad wat die siekte loop ten opsigte van naiwiteit en valse gerugte ten opsigte van die siekte. 'n Verdere hoofstuk fokus op die literatuur om die hoofaspekte van die probleem vas le stel, en sodoende riglyne vir 'n terapieprogram daar te stel om die vrese te onderskep en die familie te help om die siekte beter te begryp_ Die doel is om die samelewing te laat begryp dat vigs nie 'n kulturele of "klas" siekte is nie, maar dat dit alle lae van die samelewing kan tref. 'n Afdeling is gewy aan 'n wye verskeidenheid terapeutiese tegnieke wat geimplimenteer kan word tydens hulpverlening aan die vigslyer en sy gesinslede. Verder verskaf hierdie studie ook riglyne om ondersteuning en hulp aan die vigslyer en sy gesin te bied, om sodoende hulle selfkonsep te verbeter.
Aids is a "stalking killer''. It has no respect for culture, breeding, age or sex. It is an unnatural death which offends and alienates many friends and family, even after the victim has died. A questionnaire incorporating important aspects of the cause and effect of aids was compiled and given to the aids sufferers and family to complete. From the responses it was clearly evident that the fears of the unknown, the stigma attached to the victim's close associates and family, was a problem, and the route course of incredible naive and false rumours. A chapter of the research focused on literature to establish what was the major aspects of the problem expressed by the media. Guidelines were provided whereby therapy could address and allay these fears to assist the family to better understand the illness and it's effects. This chapter has in mind to provide the Psychologist with guidelines to provide therapy to both the victim and the family in this regard. This study confirms that the survivors are the actual victims.

Full textThe discovery that anti-retroviral therapy (ART) is important for human immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV) prevention has increased interest in factors that influence adherence to HIV treatment. Studies have shown that non-adherence to ART results in drug resistance, morbidity and person-to-person HIV transmission. For persons defaulting on or living risky sexual lives, becoming adherent is a life-saving behavioural change, both for themselves and for their sexual partners. HIV/AIDS programmes are trying different innovations to enhance behavioural outcomes of people living with HIV (PLHIV). This study sought to determine the value of support group participation and based on the findings, to develop an evidence-based model for revitalising caregiver social support competencies. The study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, a cross-sectional descriptive design was used to compare PLHIV who participate in support group activities with those who do not, in terms of their behavioural outcomes. Multistage probability sampling was used to select study respondents. Data was collected using a selfadministered questionnaire from 1,676 respondents between February and May 2014. Data was analysed using STATA. Data analysis shows that 47% of respondents had once (ever) participated in support group activities while 53% had never. PLHIV who participated in support group activities differed from those who did not in terms of HIV-related stigma (p=<0.001), positive HIV status disclosure (p=0.005), ART adherence (p=0.021), and sexual risk behaviours (p=0.045). PLHIV who participated in support group activities were more likely to have less internal HIV-related stigma, disclose their positive HIV status, adhere to ART and live less risky sexual lives. The two study groups were not different in terms of perceived social support (p=0.28) and external stigma (p=0.250). More PLHIV obtained social support from health workers (66%) and family members (36%) than from PLHIV support groups (16%). The researcher concludes that participating in support group activities positively impacts on behavioural outcomes of PLHIV, but PLHIV support groups are not the only sources of social support. In the second phase, a model for revitalising PLHIV caregiver social support competencies was developed as a recommendation for assuring PLHIV access to holistic care and support.

Full textNos dias de hoje continuam a existir pessoas a viver em condições de carência quer material, quer afetiva, condições que são adversas ao desenvolvimento biopsicossocial de um serhumano. Desta forma, o presente estudo pretendeu explorar a perceção sobre a rede de suporte e relacional das pessoas em situação de sem-abrigo, procurando explorar a história das relações desde a infância até às relações atuais. Na amostra deste estudo três dos participantes estão em situação de sem-abrigo, sendo que um encontra-se fora desta condição, mas em situação económica e de habitação precárias. Os participantes têm idades compreendidas entre os 30 e os 50 anos. Administrou-se uma entrevista semiestruturada adaptada do guião da entrevista de McAdams (1995), The Life Story Interview, focando alguns tópicos do guião (resumo e fases da história, momentos importantes, desafios, futuros possíveis). Para a análise dos dados utilizou-se o NVivo 11 software e posteriormente a análise temática. Os resultados deste estudo apontaram para a importância das relações sociais, quer como causa quer como a solução desta condição. A população em situação de sem-abrigo valoriza, principalmente, a relação com os técnicos e voluntários de rua que tentam combater o isolamento.
Nowadays, there are still people living in conditions of both material and affective deficiencies, conditions that are adverse to the biopsychosocial development of a human being. Thus, the present study aimed to explore the perception about the support and relational network of homeless people, seeking to explore the history of relationships from childhood to current relationships. In the sample of this study, three of the participants are homeless, and one is out of this condition, but in a precarious economic and housing situation. Participants are between the ages of 30 and 50. There was a semi-structured interview adapted from McAdams' 1995 interview, The Life Story Interview, focusing on some topics in the script (summary and phases of the story, important moments, challenges, possible futures). For the analysis of the data the NVivo 11 software was used and later the thematic analysis. The results of this study pointed to the importance of social relations, both as a cause and as a solution to this condition. The homeless population values, in particular, the relationship with technicians and street volunteers who try to combat isolation.

Full textFor urban Chinese, close-kin playa prominent role in all the support networks. Close-kin include adult children, parents, and siblings. Additionally, supportive roles of different kin are diffused. Spouse and adult children are the most prominent source of support for dealing with both instrumental and emotional problems. In particular, their emotional supports are more significantly beneficial to people's mental health. Parents are the important instrumental supporters, rather than in emotional aspects. Siblings are sitable for contact, but they are not the expected supporters. Extended kin relations are insignificant in any of support dimensions.
It is widely recognized that social relationships have powerful effects on mental health. This empirical study aims at examining this theory among urban Chinese. Based on the dataset of "social networks and mental health in Beijing in 2000", the focus of this research is how depression of the residents in Beijing is related to their kinship (especially, close-kin) networks and supports. The network structural characters include "network size", "frequency of contact", and "residence distance". The functional elements of support include instrumental support and emotional support. CES-D (The Centre for Epidemiological Studies of Depression scale) is used to measure depression.
The major findings in theoretical dimension are: (1) Social supports have main effects, namely social supports are helpful to mental health regardless of stressors people might experience. (2) Some kinds of kinship networks have direct and indirect effects (mediated by kinship supports) on depression. This result also partially confirms "the support argument", which suggests that the social networks enhance the likelihood of accessing support which in turn provides the protective function against distress.
