Texto completoABSTRACT: This study, within the fields of occupational therapy and occupational science, describes the occupations of isiXhosa-speaking individuals with longstanding histories of mental illness living in chronic poverty. Occupation refers to the daily tasks and purposeful activities which, in occupying people’s time, establish the patterns of their lives and give expression to their roles, identity, interests and abilities. The aim of this study was to describe how poor households and persons with psychiatric disability living in those households coped with their circumstances and how they viewed, orchestrated, drew meaning from and attributed purpose to the everyday things they did, in particular the self-identified, primary income generating occupation of the disabled person. The research questions elicited information about the genesis, characteristics, meanings and functions of occupation, in particular those occupations performed by the disabled member that contributed to the survival of the household. Using case study methodology, the research involved prolonged engagement with five households living in a peri-urban, informal settlement on the outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa. Qualitative data about occupation was derived through demographic screening, multiple interviews with key informants in each household, participant observation and focus group discussion. In addition, discussions were held with mental health professionals familiar with the context and the Xhosa culture. Four forms of data analysis and interpretation (Kavale, 1996; Stake,1995) were applied to develop substantive case studies: condensation (identification of major organising ideas); categorisation (thematic categorical aggregation); patterning (narrative structuring) and generalisation (naturalistic interpretation). In addition, discussions were held with mental health professionals familiar with the context and the Xhosa culture. Four forms of data analysis and interpretation (Kavale, 1996; Stake, 1995) were applied were applied to develop substantive case studies: condensation (identification of major organising ideas); categorisation (thematic categorical aggregation); patterning (narrative structuring) and generalisation (naturalistic interpretation). Thematic descriptions of the basics of occupation are used to illustrate the various ways participants negotiated the challenges of life at the margins of society through the ordinary things they did everyday. Cross case analysis provided insights into the financial and social costs of mental illness as well as the strategies, embedded in occupation, adopted by participants in dealing with their circumstances. The central thesis of this dissertation is that psychiatrically disabled people, as economic actors functioning in complex structural, social and occupational matrices, contribute in paradoxical ways to the survival of their households. While their illness behaviour may increase the vulnerability of the household from time to time, they nevertheless facilitate its functioning either as providers of a disability grant; as contributors of additional labour or as productive income generating agents. The individual, the social and the structural are co-constituted in what poor and disabled people are able to do everyday. The less resources that are available in the occupational form, the more effort is needed to perform occupations and the more reliance is placed on the informal relational economy. Relative mastery of constrained circumstances occurred by optimising the goodness of fit between occupational form and occupational performance through adaptive capacity, an under-recognised form of agency in the context of chronic poverty. Looking beyond the obscuring façade of psychiatric disability at the ordinary things people did everyday revealed their capacity to strategise practically and attitudinally in support of the household’s survival. The study heightens awareness of human experiences that have been overlooked in the occupational science and occupational therapy literature, in particular how the basics of occupation operate in resource constrained environments. This contribution to knowledge about human occupation will inform mental health occupational therapy practice and community based psychiatric services concerned with the inclusion of disabled people in promoting social development.
OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie val binne die gebied van arbeidsterapie en ‘occupational science’. Dit beskryf die ‘occupations’ van Xhosa-sprekende individue met ‘n geskiedenis van geestesongesteldheid wat in kroniese armoede in informele nedersettings aan die buitewyke van Kaapstad, Suid-Afrika woon. ‘Occupation’ verwys na die daaglikse take en doelgerigte aktiwiteite wat mense se tyd in beslag neem; die patrone en ritmes van hul lewens bevestig en wat uitdrukking gee aan hul verskeie rolle, identiteit, belangstellings en vermoëns. Die doel van die studie was om inligting te verkry oor die oorsprong, eienskappe, betekenis en funksies van ’occupation’ in die konteks van armoede en veral met betrekking tot die psigiatries gestremde lid se belewenis en bydrae tot die huishouding se oorlewing deur sy of haar self-geidentifiseerde, primêre winsgewende ‘occupation’. Verlengde verbintenis met vyf huishoudings en sleutel informante as gevalstudies het die verkryging van kwalitatiewe data oor ‘occupation’ deur onderhoude, waarneming en fokusgroepe moontlik gemaak. Onderhoude met geestesgesondheidspesialiste vertroud met die konteks en die Xhosakultuur is ook gevoer. Vier tipes data-analise en interpretasie (Kavale, 1996; Stake, 1995) is toegepas om die ontwikkeling van substantiewe gevallestudies moontlik te maak: kondensasie (identifisering en organisasie van belangrike idees); kategorisering (tematiese sorteering van eenhede van betekenis); motief (narratiewe strukturering) en veralgemening (naturalistiese interpretasie). Kruisgevalanalise is toegepas om inligting oor die finansiële en sosiale kostes van ‘n psigiatriese stoornis in die konteks van armoede te bekom asook die ‘occupational’ strategieë waarvan informante in die hantering van hul omstandighede gebruik gemaak het. Die slotsom van hierdie verhandeling is dat psigiatries gestremde persone wat in die konteks van kroniese armoede ‘n bestaan probeer voer, op paradoksale maniere ‘n bydrae tot die voortbestaan van hul huishoudings lewer. Terwyl hulle siektegedrag die kwesbaarheid van die huishouding van tyd tot tyd laat toeneem, maak hulle nieteenstaande die oorlewing van die huishouding moontlik deur ‘n kombinasie van die volgende bydraes: die verskaffing van bykomende arbeid; die beskikbaarstelling van ‘n ongeskiktheidstoelaag en die produktiewe uitvoering van winsgewende ‘occupations’ in die sogenaamde ‘tweede’ of informele ekonomie. Die individuele, die sosiale en die strukturele is aan mekaar verbonde en beinvloed sodanig wat arm en gestremde mense daagliks in staat is om te doen. Hoe minder materiele komponente en hulpbronne in die ‘occupational form’ beskikbaar is, hoe groter is die inspanning wat benodig word om ‘occupation’ uit te voer en hoe meer afhanklik word die gestremde persoon op die informele sosiale ekonomie. Die teenoorgestelde is ook waar. Die kapasiteit vir aanpasbaarheid, ‘n miskende vorm van agentskap in die konteks van kroniese armoede, maak die bemeestering van beperkte omstandighede moontlik. Die kapasiteit vir aanpasbaarheid is geleë in die vermoë om strategies, prakties en sielkundig te funksioneer. Die studie vergroot die bewustheid van menslike ervarings wat oor die hoof gesien is in die arbeidsterapie en ‘occupational science’ literatuur, veral hoe die basiese beginsels van ‘occupation’ funksioneer in omgewings wat gekenmerk word deur deprivasie en beperkte materiële besittings. Hierdie bydrae tot kennis oor ‘occupation’ sal arbeidsterapiepraktyk en gemeenskaps-gebaseerde psigiatriese dienste toelig asook die insluiting van psigiatries gestremde persone in maatskaplike ontwikkeling bevorder.

Texto completoTiivistelmä Tavoitteena oli tutkia skitsofreniaan sairastuneiden kuolleisuutta, työkyvyttömyyttä ja sairaalahoitoa sekä selvittää lääkehoidon yhteyttä kuolleisuuteen. Tutkimusaineistona olivat hoitoilmoitus-, kuolinsyyrekisteri-, eläkerekisteri- ja lääkekorvattavuustiedot. Tutkimusjoukkona olivat vuosien 1995-2003 aikana skitsofreniaan sairastuneet henkilöt. Seuranta-aika oli 5 vuotta. Skitsofreniaa sairastavien kuolleisuus oli 4.4 -kertainen normaaliväestöön verrattuna. Kuolleisuus oli korkeaa kaikissa ikäryhmissä sairastumisiästä riippumatta. Yleisin kuolinsyy oli itsemurha. Yleisin luonnollinen kuolinsyy olivat sydän- ja verenkiertoelinten sairaudet. Skitsofreniaan sairastuneista puolet jäi työkyvyttömyyseläkkeelle viiden vuoden seurannan aikana. Miehet eläköityivät nuorempina ja useammin kuin naiset. Kuolleisuudessa ja eläkkeelle siirtymisessä oli havaittavissa alueellista vaihtelua. Avohoidossa hoidetuilla vasta skitsofreniaan sairastuneilla oli parempi ennuste kuin sairaalahoitoon joutuneilla. Heidän kuolleisuutensa sekä sairaalahoitopäivien, relapsien ja vastentahtoisen hoidon määrät olivat alhaisemmat kuin sairaalassa hoidetuilla. Toisen polven antipsykoottien käyttö oli yhteydessä alentuneeseen kuolleisuuteen ja ensimmäisen polven antipsykootit kohonneeseen kuolemanriskiin. Klotsapiinin käyttö oli yhteydessä alhaisempaan itsemurhariskiin, kun taas masennuslääkkeistä mirtatsepiinin käyttö liittyi kohonneeseen itsemurhariskiin. Skitsofrenian hoidon kehittymisestä huolimatta sairauden ennuste on edelleen huono. Skitsofreniaa sairastavilla on yhä korkeampi kuolleisuusriski kuin muulla väestöllä. Hoitomenetelmien kehittymisestä huolimatta puolet sairastuneista on työkyvyttömyyseläkkeellä viiden vuoden kuluessa sairastumisesta. Sairauden vakavuutta osoittaa myös se, että iso osa skitsofreniaan sairastuneista tarvitsee useamman sairaalahoitojakson ja tahdosta riippumatonta hoitoa. Lisäksi useat tarvitsevat tuettua asumispalvelua. Skitsofrenian somaattisten sairauksien ja masennusoireiden arviointi vaatii edelleen huomioita. Hoitoon ja kuntoutukseen pitää panostaa ja taata, että skitsofrenian hoito olisi yhtä laadukasta koko Suomessa. Potilaat ovat eriarvoisessa asemassa, mikäli hoitokäytännöt ja mahdollisuus saada kuntoutusta vaihtelevat asuinpaikasta riippuen

Given the increasing number of undergraduate students with psychiatric disabilities enrolling in college and the disproportionately high attrition rates among this group, it is important that researchers understand the experiences of these students and identify and address the barriers to higher education that face this population. While most college campuses make a number of modifications, accommodations, and services available to students with registered disabilities, researchers suggest that many students with psychiatric disabilities fail to either register or make effective use of such services. Research has found that the endorsement of disability identity impacts the proactive utilization of valuable academic accommodations and promotes students’ academic success. However, little is known about how disability identity is shaped and maintained within the context of college. Still, even less is known about the experiences of students with psychiatric disabilities or how they construct meaning pertaining to their disability within college. The current study explored the processes by which undergraduate students with psychiatric disabilities make meaning of their disability identity through interaction and participation within the college context. Furthermore, I explored students’ decisions regarding disability disclosure and the utilization of support services as one means of understanding a motivated action indicative of disability identity. I employed an interpretative phenomenological approach to gain insight into the perceptions, meaning making, and lived experiences of undergraduate college students with psychiatric disabilities regarding the contextualized construction of disability identity. The results of the analysis suggest that disability identity is dynamic and constructed through interactions with others and participation in various activities and experiences presented in the college environment. These findings contribute to the literature on identity formation in college students with psychiatric disabilities and provide important implications for theory, research, and practice.

Texto completoThe study explores the experiences of nurses who care for severe/profound intellectual disabled patients at Level 3 Psychiatric Hospital in Cape Town. People with severe intellectual disabilities require constant care and supervision which can only be provided in specialised units. In the Western Cape, one such facility is a special section for the intellectually disabled at a level three hospital. Intellectual disability is a serious lifelong disability that places a heavy burden on affected individuals. Caring for these patients may affect the individuals who work within the intellectual disability services. This study explores the experiences of nurses who care for these patients. A Phenomenological research design was chosen as the researcher identified it as the most appropriate method to describe the lived experiences of the nurses. Purposive sampling was used to select 10 participants. However, data saturation was reached after interviewing eight participants. Data was collected through in-depth unstructured interviews. The audio-taped responses were transcribed verbatim and phenomenological data analysis done. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Higher Degrees Committee of the University of the Western Cape. Permission to do the research at the level three hospitals was sought from the Associated Psychiatric Hospital Committee. Consent to participate in the study was obtained from the participants, and ethical principles were adhered to. Participants were informed of the right to withdraw at any stage of the study and intervention offered when required. Trustworthiness of the research process was ensured. Findings: from this study the nurses who care for severe/profound intellectual disabled patients reported that they were not adequately prepared to care for these patients. It has also been reported that caring for the severely/profound disabled comes with some consequences, where emotional (negative and positive), physical and professional consequences were mentioned. The shortage of resources was found to be one of the challenges the nurses experienced. The nurses felt unappreciated for the work they did and less supported by their employer.

Texto completoThe purpose of this study was to examine which factors in the psychiatric rehabilitation theory that were the most important supporting and hindering factors for getting participants in Vocational Rehabilitation to complete secondary/postsecondary education and get a job in todays labour market. The participants in this study came from four Supported Education (SEd-) projects in Sweden. I wanted to get forth the factors in order of priority since I found it difficult to find which factors to prioritize first in the work of rehabilitation through education and employment. I did this to get a deeper understanding of what is most important for persons with psychiatric disabilities/mental illness to be able to complete secondary/postsecondary education, but I also did it to investigate if the service of SEd has the potential of being used in social work in the shape of vocational rehabilitation and recoveryoriented support for mental illness and psychiatric disabilities. To be able to answer those questions I used a questionnaire with ten quantitative closed questions and seven qualitative open questions.. Supported Education (SEd) is a supportprogram aimed at supporting persons mainly with psychiatric disabilities/mental illness to choose, start and complete education on secondary and postsecondary level. There are ongoing discussions about whether other target groups without psychiatric disabilites/ mental illness could get this support to complete education. From the results of the study I found a number of themes for what supported or hindered the participants in completing their education. The results showed that the participants generally were very satisfied with the support they got from the staff in SEd. Most of all it was the staffs genuine engagement, empathy and a respectful treatment that stood forth as the crucial factors that affected the participants to complete their education. Other factors that also supported the participants to complete their education is that they got support with completing their study tasks, there were no time limit for the support, the recurrent individual counseling sessions with staff, the experience of fellowship and belonging and educational and vocational guidance that supported the participants in forming an individual action plan which was followed up continuosly. Hindering factors with SEd for the participants were that the localities were too small and that the study coaches were too few. Hindering factors in completing education in general was mental illness (e.g. anxiety, phobia and depression), difficulties with economy, difficulties in socialising with people, difficulties with concentration, lack of a technique for studying and difficulties with completing tasks, ADHD,ADD, dyslexia, addiction, problems to adjust to a high tempo in the education and lack of support with completing tasks. I analyzed these results by using the psychiatric rehabilitation theory. I then discussed the challenges and possibilities that we can see in the future with the SEd-method.

Texto completoTitle: Left out together? A general literature study on the meaning of daycare centers to individuals with psychiatric disabilities. Background: The most common reason why people with psychiatric disabilities leave home is to visit a daycare center. At the same time, daycare centers are criticized for being stigmatizing. The research in the area provides a fairly homogeneous picture of what daycare centers mean to the individual where positive aspects are highlighted. However, contrasting images are found in which daycare centers may have a negative impact on its visitors. Aim: The aim of this study is to provide knowledge of what daycare centers for people with psychiatric disabilities mean to their visitors based on previous research. We intend to map the state of knowledge and, with subsequent anlays, create a deeper understanding of what daycare centers mean for the individual. Method and theory: This study is a general literature study in which twelve selected articles constitute the empiric. To understand the meaning of daycare centers, we have put together a theoretical framework of stigma, self-stigma and empowerment. Findings: The study generates three main themes: the meaning of daycare centers as a social context, the meaning of daycare centers as occupation, different aspects of what daycare centers mean for well-being. Conclusion: We found that daycare centers are of great importance to visitors in providing a safe place for social community, part of a social context, offering meaningful occupation and a motivation to leave home. We see in the result that the target group has difficulty in entering the labor market. It is therefore important that daycare centers exist so that visitors can come there and participate in different types of activities, as well as to provide structure to everyday life . Another conclusion is that in the positive aspects highlighted in the empiricism, we can discern problematic aspects of the importance of daycare centers, even in what is emphasized as positive. This may concern the introversion that characterizes these institutions, the participants' dependence on daycare centers and the difficulties of the centers to be a bridge to new development opportunities.

Texto completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: Considering the myriad of risk factors causing nutritional deficiency, as well as the prevalence of malnutrition and feeding problems experienced by individuals with intellectual disability (ID), early detection and diagnosis of malnutrition in this population group is essential. Objectives: The main aim and objectives of the study were to determine the degree of malnutrition and body composition in individuals with ID living in a psychiatric hospital (North West Province, South Africa), to determine which degree of ID was more prone to malnutrition, to investigate the different risk factors for malnutrition in this group of individuals, and to use this data to adapt an existing screening tool used to facilitate the easier identification of malnutrition. Methodology: An observational descriptive cross-sectional study, with an analytical component, was conducted. The study consisted of two phases. During the first phase, measurements were taken of individuals with ID to determine body composition and nutritional status. During the second phase, said data, as well as other factors influencing the nutritional status of individuals with ID, were used to adapt an existing screening tool to allow for easier identification of malnutrition in the study population. The adapted screening tool was tested by nursing staff. Results: The anthropometric measurements of 244 individuals with ID were determined. The overall anthropometrical status indicated that half of the study population (52,1%, n=127) had a normal nutritional status, that 38,1% (n=93) was undernourished or at risk of becoming undernourished, and that 10,0% (n=24) was either at risk of becoming or was overnourished . Men were more prone to being undernourished or at risk of becoming undernourished (48,0%, n=73), compared to women (21,7%, n=20). Although no significant difference was found in anthropometrical status across the four severities of ID (Pearson Chi-square test (ρ=0,15)), individuals with mild ID were more likely to become obese (19,4%, n=6), and individuals with profound ID were more prone to being underweight (57,1%, n=8). It was found that 41,8% (n=102) of the total study population had a waist circumference (WC) above the normal values. A significant difference was found between increased WC and severity of ID (Pearson Chi-square test (ρ=0,00)). Other risk factors that can influence nutritional status in said population included medical conditions such as hypertension (13,0%, n=32) and epilepsy (EP) (46,0%, n=112), as well as polypharmacy (71,7%, n=175). An existing malnutrition screening tool for the population with ID was adapted by means of the addition of prevalent factors (WC measurements, presence of EP and use of medications), as well as through adaptation of the scoring system. Conclusion: Using anthropometric measurements and indices for body composition, a high prevalence of malnutrition was identified in the study population of individuals with ID. The adapted screening tool was more sensitive than the original tool in identifying individuals who were at risk of malnutrition, or who were already malnourished in this study population. The research undertaken in this respect can help health care professionals to be more aware of the interaction between the severity of ID and malnutrition.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Agtergrond: Wanneer daar gelet word op die magdom faktore wat voedingstekorte veroorsaak en op die voorkoms van wanvoeding en voedingsprobleme onder individue met intellektuele gestremdheid (IG), is dit duidelik dat vroegtydige waarneming en diagnose van wanvoeding noodsaaklik is. Doelwitte: Die hoofdoel en doelwitte van die studie was om die graad van wanvoeding sowel as die liggaamsamestelling van individue met IG te bepaal wat in ’n psigiatriese hospitaal (Noordwes Provinsie, Suid-Afrika) inwoon. Daar is bepaal watter graad van IG individue is meer geneig tot wanvoeding. Verskillende risiko faktore van wanvoeding in hierdie groep individue is ondersoek en die data is gebruik om ’n bestaande siftingshulpmiddel aan te pas om wanvoeding makliker te kan identifiseer. Metodologie: Die studie-ontwerp was ‘n dwarssnitwaarnemingstudie met ‘n analitiese komponent. Die studie het uit twee fases bestaan. Gedurende die eerste fase is antropometriese metings van individue met IG geneem om liggaamsamestelling en voedingstatus te bereken. Gedurende die tweede fase is hierdie data, sowel as ander risiko faktore wat die voedingstatus van individue beïnvloed, gebruik om ’n bestaande siftingshulpmiddel aan te pas wat die identifisering van wanvoeding in hierdie populasie kan vergemaklik. Verpleegpersoneel het die aangepaste siftingshulpmiddel uitgetoets. Resultate: Die antropometriese metings van 244 individue met IG is bepaal. Hulle algemene antropometriese status het aangedui dat die helfte van die studiepopulasie (52,1%, n=127) ’n normale voedingstatus gehad het; 38,1% (n=93) was ondervoed of het ’n risiko gehad vir ondervoeding en 10,0% (n=24) was reeds oorvoed of het ’n risiko gehad vir oorvoeding. Mans (48,0%, n=73) was meer geneig om ondervoed te wees of het ‘n groter risiko tot ondervoeding as vroue (21,7%, n=20). Daar was geen beduidende statistiese verskille in antropometriese status tussen die vier grade van IG nie (Pearson Chi-square-toets, p=0,15), alhoewel individue met matige IG ‘n groter neiging het tot obesiteit (19,35%, n=6), terwyl uitgesproke IG ’n groter neiging tot ondergewig gehad het (57,1%, n=8). Daar is bevind dat 41,8% (n=102) van die totale studiepopulasie ’n verhoogde middelomtrek gehad het. Daar was ʼn beduidende statistiese verskil tussen verhoogde middelomtrek en graad van IG (Pearson Chi-square-toets, p=0,00). Ander risiko faktore wat die voedingstatus van hierdie populasie kan beïnvloed sluit in mediese toestande soos hipertensie (13,0%, n=32) en epilepsie (46,0%, n=112), asook die gebruik van veelvuldige medikasie (71,7%, n=175). ’n Bestaande wanvoedingsiftingshulpmiddel vir die IG populasie is aangepas deur algemene faktore (middelomtrek, voorkoms van epilepsie en gebruik van veelvuldige medikasie) in te sluit en die puntestelsel aan te pas. Gevolgtrekking: Met behulp van antropometriese metings en liggaamsmassa indekse is ’n hoë voorkoms van wanvoeding in die studiepopulasie van individue met IG waargeneem. Die aangepaste siftingshulpmiddel was meer sensitief as die oorspronklike hulpmiddel om individue wat ’n risiko loop vir wanvoeding of wat reeds wangevoed is, te identifiseer in hierdie studie populasie. Hierdie navorsing kan help om gesondheidswerkers meer bewus te maak van die interaksie tussen die graad van IG en wanvoeding.

Texto completoBackground: Many people with psychiatric disabilities have a perception of low quality of life. They also have lower standard, materially, economically, socially and health-wise. To be granted supportive housing means getting daily support, service and care. Previous studies have shown that the supporting staff have to be knowledgeable and have special features, compassionate, responsive and attentive. Aim: To describe a health care professional experiences and thoughts on how to style casual support to the quality of life for people living in sheltered housing. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted as with ten staff members from five supportive housing. The method of analysis was qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach. Results: The staffs’ experiences of providing support for quality of life was categorized into three different areas. How these areas, care relationship, organization and environment was constituted and perceived made impact on support effort and quality. It emerged that a key component of the everyday support consisted of a comprehensive motivational work. There was a mismatch between the residents' perception of support needs and what the staff felt that they needed. A relationship that turned out was the staff expressed powerlessness in some supportive situations and the absence or lack of continuity of supervision. Discussions: Supportive housing has as major challenges in claiming to be a home and not an institution. The language used; you do not live in your own apartment, but in a group home and you are not a tenant, but a person living there. The outer structures can reinforce an “us” and “them” thinking where the needs and difficulties might be described on the basis of group membership.

Texto completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa has transformed its mental health service provision from in-hospital care to community-based rehabilitation. Although the idea is sound, the process places the caregiving families under an immense pressure. The aim of this study was to explore the impact that the de-institutionalisation process has had on the families as they care for their child with intellectual disability. The study was conducted by means of qualitative, unstructured interviews with families that have had a child de-institutionalised from Alexandra Hospital in the Western Cape. All of the patients were diagnosed with a dual diagnosis of intellectual disability and mental illness. Even though the patients were in group-homes or attended a day care centre, final responsibility for the patients lay with the parents. Three main themes emerged from the interviews that describe the impact of deinstitutionalisation, viz. the characteristics of the family member with intellectual disability (aggressive, abusive and self-destructive behaviour of the patient), the effect that these characteristics had on the family (marital stress and health risks to the care giver), and community and resource factors. The study placed the family central to its environment and discussed the impact deinstitutionalisation had on its environment as a whole. It was concluded that the burden that de-institutionalisation places on the families far exceeded their ability to cope with these circumstances. This status quo could be improved if adequate resources and skills are given to families prior to de-institutional
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In Suid-Afrika is geestesgesondheidsorg van hospitaliserende na gemeenskapsgebaseerde rehabilitasie, omskep. Terwyl hierdie stap wel as lewensvatbaar mag voorkom, plaas die proses ‘n hewige las op die sorggewende gesin. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die omvang van die impak hiervan op ‘n gesin met ’n lid met intellektuele gestremdheid en psiegiatriese siekte, te bepaal – nadat so ‘n pasient uit die inrigting ontslaan is. Die ondersoek is uitgevoer by wyse van kwalitatiewe, ongestruktureerde onderhoude met gesinne wie se lede met die diagnose uitgeplaas is deur die Alexandra Hospitaal in die Wes-Kaap. Elkeen van die pasïente is gediagnoseer met ernstige intellektuele gestremdheid, asook bykomende gedragsafwykings. Ten spyte van die feit dat die betrokke pasïente deur groepshuise of dagsorg eenhede versorg word, bly hulle hul ouers se verantwoordelikheid. Drie temas het ontstaan wat die impak van ontslag uit die inrigting omskryf, te wete die karaktertrekke van die gestremde gesinslid (aggressie, misbruikende en vernielsugtige gedrag van die pasïent), die effek van hierdie karaktertrekke op die gesin (stres op die huwelik en potensiële gesondheidsrisiko wat dit vir die versorger inhou), en die gemeenskap en ondersteunende faktore. Tydens die ondersoek is die gesin sentraal geplaas ten opsigte van die omgewing. Die impak van ontslag van die gediagnoseerde pasïent uit die inrigting op die omgewing as geheel, word bespreek. Daar is tot die slotsom gekom dat die vermoë van die gesin wat die las moet dra as gevolg van die ontslag, ver oorspan word. Hierdie toedrag van sake sou egter verlig kon word indien toereikende hulpbronne en vaardighede aan sulke gesinne beskikbaar gestel word alvorens so ‘n pasïent ontslaan is.

Texto completoWork is a key-factor of recovery for people with severe mental illness. Various programs exist to support them to gain and maintain competitive employment. In France, the rate of employment remains low for this population and only scarce researches are developed in this field, although some French practices, such as the Ç ESAT de transition È (transitional workshops) of the MESSIDOR association, appear to be performing well. Theses transitional workshops support people with psychiatric disability to gain a competitive employment on the regular labor market while working in a sheltered activity. The goal of this research was to describe the Ç ESAT de transition È program, comparing it to international evidence-based practices, such as supported-employment programs, and to define how this program can facilitate a recovery process for people with a severe mental illness.The first part of this research is intended to describe the program with a mixed method (qualitative then quantitative) in order to compare it with international evidence-based practices and to describe the roles, tasks and competencies of the two professionals supervising people with a severe mental illness, counselors and supervisors, and to define how they contribute to a recovery process for them. A second part of the research is dedicated to clients of this program, with a longitudinal study (n=160) of clinical and psychosocial variables, at the beginning of the program, and in order to document predictive factors of their job tenure in the program, of their positive evolution to work integration on the regular labor market and of their recovery.These Ç ESAT de transition È are an hybrid form of a sheltered workshop, social enterprise and supported-employment program for people with a severe mental illness. In a workplace close to the context of regular labor market, thanks to a subtle relational posture, the two professionals supervising the workers help them to develop a new positive identity, self-esteem as a worker and hope in the future, which are key-factors of a recovery process. Clients have a positive perception of their situation in this program, on clinical and psychosocial variables, and this perception is stable on the 9 months follow-up of the study. They confirm that self-esteem as a worker, counselors and supervisors are key-factors to ensure their job tenure in the program, their positive evolution to work integration on the regular labor market and their recovery. Practical implications and recommendations from this research are the type of support that should be developed in France for people a with severe mental illness to help their work integration, as well as the type of training and supervision that should be offered to the professionals supporting them

Texto completoThe notion of “social treatment” allows considering that autism presents a certain form of reality before being the object of different kinds of practices and knowledge. The notion of “social treatment” is preferred to that of “social construction” to avoid the idea that autism acquires a form of reality only through its social construction. The title's choice traduces a will to take distance from constructivism. All the categories have a social origin insofar as they are based on a socially produced frame, but categorizations are always put to the test of the world's materiality through our experiences. This thesis presupposes that autism's reality is the object of a continual and collective process of reassertion and revision. Why designating autism as a medical diagnosis? It is autism as the object of a human knowledge, which makes of it a socially produced reality, that becomes analyzable by the sociologist. To characterize autism as a medical diagnosis indicates that the purpose of this thesis is to grasp the continual and practical accomplishment of autism's categorization. This thesis relies methodologically on an ethnographical approach, and theoretically on the pragmatic sociology, to propose a sociological study of medical diagnosis from the case of autism. The first part deals with diagnosis as a category and aims at showing how this category is caught in different socio-political stakes. These socio-political stakes are highlighted through distinguishing four dimensions that shape the diagnosis of autism: its institution, its institutionalization, its politicization and its controversy. Theses dimensions permit to understand the stakes that shape diagnosis in the medical world and beyond. This part shows how diagnosis as a category is constructed at the crossroads of several logics that circulate in different worlds, through power relations between different kinds of actors, in a configuration that is likely to evolve over time. The second part deals with diagnosis as a process of qualification. From the observation of an evaluation center specialized in autism diagnosis, this part proposes a sociological analysis of the medical qualification. In this perspective, diagnosis is regarded as an activity, a work that can be traced step by step, and the sociologist is interested in the practices through which diagnosis is locally produced. After situating my work in a pragmatic approach of medical expertise, and proposing an analysis grid of the operation of qualification, this part studies the linkage between the different steps of the diagnostic process. This part allows conceiving diagnosis as a process that is determined by the configuration and the supports of the qualification, and situated in a context characterized by a plurality of diagnostic practices. The third part deals with the practical implications of diagnosis. This part grasps the implications of diagnosis outside of the medical world, in other contexts of action, in the administrative and school worlds. It also highlights the implications of diagnosis on family, through the analysis of the domestic production of care. It proposes to analyze the implications of diagnosis on the ways the child's subjectivity is treated. Eventually, this part underlines a phenomenon of paths dualization, in terms of practical arrangements of care and diagnosis quest, which may be analyzed through different reading grids that do not support the same criticism of social inequalities
