Fur, Pixels, Loved Ones and Other Transients is a paper discussing my practice from 2000 to 2003. It is a personal and theoretical exploration of common concepts and theories in reference to my works Fluff Snuffs (2000), Relentless (2001), Trigger Displacement (2002), Bathing in a Warm Glow of Nothing (2003) and Memory Play Back (2003). The effects of Tele-visual and computer mediated images of death and violence within these works are investigated, which lead to an exploration of fear and trauma. This mechanism of mediation is used within the works as a means of exploring the subtleties within the screen-based image that may go unnoticed or seem disconcerting. The role of the soft toy is an important element in these works and this is further explored by referencing the use of the soft toy in works of several other contemporary artists. These works are discussed to further explore the complexity of ideas on death, violence, trauma, memory and fearMaster of Arts (Hons) (Contemporary Arts)

In this dissertation, I distinguish between two types of mortality salience, namely mortality salience of self (MSS) and mortality salience of a loved one (MSLO). Based on a need salience mechanism, I predict and find in four studies that MSS individuals prefer social status choice options over social experience choice options; whereas MSLO individuals prefer social experience choice options over social status choice options. Further, these effects are more pronounced among MSS individuals high in independent self-construal, and MSLO individuals high in interdependent self-construal. This dissertation contributes to the mortality salience literature in three ways. First, it distinguishes for the first time between two types of mortality salience, namely MSS and MSLO in terms of their effects on type of choice. Second, it proposes a new mediating mechanism based on need salience which predicts the divergent effects of MSS and MSLO on type of choice. Third, it identifies two new moderating variables, namely independent self-construal and interdependent self-construal, which can modify the effect of MSS versus MSLO on type of choice.Dans cette thèse, je propose une distinction entre deux types d'exposition à la saillance de la mort (mortality salience), soit la saillance de sa propre mort ou MSS (mortality salience of self) et la saillance de la mort d'une personne aimée ou MSLO (mortality salience of a loved one). En se basant sur un mécanisme du besoin de saillance (need salience mechanism), je prédis et confirme à l'aide de quatre études expérimentales que les individus exposés à la saillance de leur propre mort (MSS) préfèrent des options de décision signalant le statut social contrairement aux individus exposés à la saillance de la mort d'une personne aimée (MSLO) qui préfèrent des options de décision associées à des expériences sociales. De plus, l'effet de la saillance de sa propre mort (MSS) est plus prononcé lorsque les sujets de l'étude ont un construit de soi hautement indépendant (independent self-construal) alors que l'effet de la saillance de la mort d'une personne aimée (MSLO) est plus prononcé pour les individus ayant un construit de soi hautement interdépendant (interdependent self-construal). Cette thèse contribue à la littérature sur la saillance de la mort de trois façons. En premier lieu, elle distingue pour la première fois, en fonction de leur effet sur la prise de décision, deux types de saillance de la mort, soit celle associée à sa propre mort (MSS) et celle associée à la mort d'une personne aimée (MSLO). Deuxièmement, elle propose un nouveau mécanisme de médiation basé sur le besoin de saillance (need saliance) qui prédit les effets divergents des types de saillance de la mort sur la prise de décision. Finalement, elle identifie deux nouvelles variables modératrices, soit le construit de soi indépendant et le construit de soi interdépendant, qui modulent l'effet des deux types de saillance de la mort sur la prise de décision.

Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom are the first long-term wars fought with an all-volunteer army. This has led to fewer available soldiers who are deployed more frequently and for longer periods of time. The impact of these deployments is significant and has been found to increase likelihood for substance abuse, mental health disorders, and concerns in the veteran, or service member’s, social functioning and overall adjustment upon returning to civilian life. There have been significant developments in our understanding of these issues, as well as effective interventions and treatment. However, many veterans still do not seek or receive beneficial treatment due to mental health stigma, as well as other barriers. While many treatment paradigms address the unique needs of the family or the individual veteran, very few resources seek to both objectively inform and provide practical coping strategies for the loved ones of veterans. Research has shown social support is a preventative factor in regards to developing or resolving mental health concerns. Similarly, research has demonstrated that others’ perceptions of mental health symptoms significantly impacts how much support and understanding their loved ones will provide (e.g. personalization of withdrawal symptoms). This manual provides a balance of both information and skills to loved ones in order to increase understanding and awareness regarding the difficulties of the transition to from military to civilian life, for both parties. Additionally, the manual integrates attachment theory concepts throughout the resource to foster self-awareness and consideration of the loved one’s own relationship style and emotional regulation. The intended audience is broad and includes a wide range of important relationships that may be affected. It was broken down into three main sections that build upon eachother: Understand, Reconnect, and Rebuild. This manual was developed through critical literature review of peer-reviewed research and personal accounts. The results of the analysis were applied to issues relevant to the transition process from military to civilian life as identified through research or review of personal accounts of the transition home from war.

Light, Patricia A. "Spousal Caregivers' Challenges When Caring for Their Loved Ones Battling Alzheimer's Disease". ScholarWorks, 2019. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/6452.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
In the United States, the occurrence of Alzheimer's dementia is growing. This chronic illness is highly prevalent in the elderly population. Studies have advised that the elderly population is primarily affected by this chronic illness as age progresses. Aging may lead to mental or physical deterioration. This chronic illness can be extremely challenging for the spousal caregivers involved and the challenging decisions that must be made. There remains a crucial gap in the literature concerning the challenges experienced by spousal caregivers and how they cope with these factors daily. Specifically, there are no studies exploring the perceptions of spousal caregivers and the emotions involved with long-term placement. Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative study was to use the grounded theory method and to explore the perceptions of 7 spousal caregivers and the emotions attached to decision making. The method involved open-ended interview questions to attain answers to the research questions involving experiences and observations of the caregiving role. Interview data were open-coded and analyzed for themes. The outcomes of this research will help aid in overcoming the challenges spouses face with the new role of spousal caregiving. This will add existing literature associated with elderly spousal caregivers and challenges faced when caring for an Alzheimer's individual. These outcomes can lead to social change and development through the implementation of positive coping strategies when dealing with the caregiving challenges and emotions attached to this role.

Abstract
In 2016, a dramatic shift occurred in demographics in the United States because the oldest people in the baby boomer generation, which consists of people born between 1946 and 1964, reached age 65. The larger aging population and longer lifespans have produced an increased need for care and services. There are an estimated 5.4 million Americans of varying ages living with a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease are more prevalent among African Americans than other ethnicities. With little research found on culturally appropriate interventions for specific ethnic groups, a more detailed review of the experiences of African American women was necessary to explore the relationship between caring for loved ones with dementia and managing lifestyles. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of African American women who care for their loved ones with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Guided by the conceptual framework of attachment theory, a phenomenological study design was used with semistructured interviews of 10 caregivers to examine their experiences and how they cope with caring for loved ones with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The results of the thematic analyses of the collected data uncovered 6 main themes: sense of responsibility, grounded in faith, guidance for future caregivers, difficult journey, caregiver challenges, and coping strategies. The study may positively impact social change by informing health care professionals who may use the findings to help African American families caing for loved ones to apply interventions, use services, and manage resources more efficiently.

Aging may bring mental and/or physical decline. There may come a point when a loved
one needs long-term care in a nursing home. The purpose of this phenomenological study
was to examine the community dwelling spouses' emotional state. A study was
conducted with 10 individuals (5 men and 5 women) who had a spouse in long-term
nursing care. Inclusion criteria was to be at least 65-years old, have been married at least
30 years, and reside alone in his or her own home. The social emotional selectivity theory
and the construct of boundary ambiguity were applied to view the epoch. Data were
collected with audio recorded interviews and coded as to major idea in each response.
Five themes evolved from the responses: reduction of friends, ease or difficulty with
change, companionship, vows are forever, and why. The community-dwelling spouse
tended to be sad, anxious, and angry. Loss of companionship, increased isolation due to
reduction of friends prior to placement, concern about the well-being of his or her spouse,
and feelings of 'why did this happen to me?' were common themes by the community dwelling
spouse. Wives who did all household chores prior to their husband's
institutionalization were more able to accept the placement of their spouse than were
husbands who had depended on their wives. There is a need for treatment for the
community-dwelling spouse by nursing home staff, friends, and family. Nursing homes
can encourage support through community-dwelling support groups and mealtime with
their institutionalized spouses. Children of community-dwelling spouse can provide
support through contacting their parents frequently, clergy, and friends of the church
through visiting the community-dwelling spouse after placement of their spouse.

In today’s globalized world leaving one’s country of origin to move abroad has become more common,which often results in families and loved ones living apart from each other. This qualitative study aimsto explore professional women’s experiences of living abroad and their ways of coping with being awayfrom their loved ones. The study relies on theoretical concepts and prior research on transnationalfamilies, the sense of home and identity, guilt and coping strategies when longing for loved ones. Inaddition, the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for travel has also beentaken into account. The primary data for thisstudy is based on ten semi-structured interviews with womenthat have been living and working or studying in Sweden for over a year, with loved ones abroad. Thedata is analyzed by a relational and partly narrative analysis and the study has been done from a feministperspective. The results show that moving abroad has impacted individual relationships with loved ones.Our participants expressed longing for physical co-presence with their loved ones, although they weremostly satisfied with their current situation. As our interviews showed, COVID-19 has not significantlyaffected their relationships with loved ones abroad, since the women have already been living apart -some of them quite long distances. In addition to the results the discussion will focus on key issuesencountered during the study, its limitations, strengths and suggestions for further research.I denna globaliserade värld har det blivit mer vanligt att lämna sitt hemland och flytta utomlands, ochdärmed inte bo nära sina nära och kära. Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att få en djupare förståelseför kvinnor som bor i ett annat land än deras nära och kära och hur de hanterar det. Studien är baserad påteoretiska koncept och tidigare forskning om transnationella familjer, flyttens inverkan på identiteten ochatt känna sig hemma, skulden av att bo på avstånd och strategier för att klara av att ha sina nära och kärapå avstånd. Detta sätts i perspektivet till den rådande COVID-19 pandemin och de begränsningar, inombland annat resande, som det innebär. Studiens primärdata baseras på tio semistrukturerade intervjuermed kvinnor som bott och jobbat eller studerat i Sverige i minst ett år och har sina nära och kärautomlands. En relationell analysmetod kombineras med narrativ analys och studien har en feministiskutgångspunkt. Resultatet visar att kvinnornas flytt utomlands har påverkat deras relationer med nära ochkära. Deltagarna i studien uttryckte en längtan efter fysisk samvaro med nära och kära i deras hemländer,men ansåg sig mestadels nöjda med deras rådande situation. Det framkom i våra intervjuer att COVID19 pandemin inte hade någon större inverkan på kvinnornas relationer med nära och kära, då de redanbefann sig på ett längre geografiskt avstånd. Utöver resultatet lyfter diskussionen viktiga frågor sompåträffades under studien, styrkor och svagheter samt förslag på vidare forskning.

This thesis explores the impact of deployment to a warzone with the Australian Army on intimate relationships. It examines the applicability of two relationship theoretical frameworks for this cohort and has resulted in a new application of these theoretical frameworks, and extended the current evidence base as to how military deployment can impact intimate relationships. The findings provide a unique evidence-based platform on which to develop targeted education for civilian intimate partners and military personnel pre- and post-deployment.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a degenerative disease that progressively impacts physical, psychological and social functioning resulting in diminished quality of life (D'Antonio, Zimmerman, & Iacono, 2000; Den Oudsten, Van Heck, & De Vries, 2007; Montel, Bonnet, & Bungener, 2009). The negative effects of PD are not only experienced by persons with PD but also their loved ones – such as their spouses and to a lesser extent their adult-children – because they become the primary caregivers as the disease progresses (D’Amelio et al., 2009). PD caregiving literature has focused predominantly on the negative effects of caregiving, namely caregiver burden (see Aarsland et al., 2007; Caap-Ahlgren & Dehlin, 2002; Harbishettar et al., 2010). The positive effects of PD caregiving remain a less-explored phenomenon. Existing literature suggests that PD caregiving is primarily a negative, burdensome and stressful experience without sufficient acknowledgement of the possible lived experience of PD caregiving and caregivers’ strengths. This interpretative-phenomenological study was designed with a strengths-based perspective (Saleebey, 2012) to explore the lived experience of loved ones providing care for persons with PD. Participants were the primary caregivers for a family member with PD, either spouses or adult-children, residing in the same home as the person with PD. Data collection phase one involved in-depth semi-structured interviews (N = 29). Data collection phase two involved a small focus group (N = 3), as a supplementary measure to draw upon insights and clarify emergent themes from phase one. The transcripts were analysed using an integration of interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA; Smith & Eatough, 2012) and thematic analysis (TA; Braun & Clarke, 2006). The analysis identified five master themes (and 20 sub-themes): (1) Positive changes in perspectives on living, (2) Personal Growth, (3) Relationship growth, (4) Contextual experience associated with positive changes and growth-ful development, and (5) Lacking in positive changes and growth-ful development. Results indicated a substantial number of loved ones providing care reported positive psychological changes and growth-ful development associated with PD caregiving. However, many others could not identify any positive experiences, only loss and strain since the presence of PD in their lives. Analysis revealed that participants employed meaning-making processes such as deliberate rumination (i.e., life re-evaluation and re-prioritisation), searching for significance (i.e., benefit finding and positive reappraisal), and cognitive processes (i.e., assimilation and accommodation), as well as emotional processing (i.e., exploring and expressing emotions) in a supportive environment (i.e., PD support groups). This resulted in outcomes of meaning made, such as perceptions of positive psychological changes and growth-ful development (i.e., positive changes in attitude, and ways of thinking and being). Findings are consistent with influential growth theories, such as the adversity-activated development theory (AAD) (Papadopoulos, 2007), the revised meaning-making model (Park, 2010) and the post-traumatic growth theory (Calhoun, Cann, & Tedeschi, 2010; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004)). Each postulate that people can grow and develop both personally and relationally as a result of a stressful experience (Park, 2010), exposure to ongoing adversity (Papadopoulos, 2007), and post-trauma or major life crisis (Calhoun, Cann, & Tedeschi, 2010; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004). Conclusions were consistent with previous caregiving research from other populations (e.g., Farran et al., 1999; Rapp & Chao, 2000; Sanders, 2005) where the PD caregiving situation is associated with loss and compromise, much like dementia caregiving. However, the potential for positive experiences and growth-ful developments is apparent. The precise circumstances where caregiving activities generated everyday strain (e.g., tension, losses, burden, and stress) for the loved ones providing care also appeared to create moments of appreciation and gratification, and allowed for positive transformation and growth-ful development...

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Abstract George Elliott Clarke's 1999 opera Beatrice Chancy is the story of the daughter of a slave owner and a slave in Nova Scotia in 1801. It addresses Canada's ignorance about its history of slavery from 1689-1834. The play shows how love becomes perverted in a society in which bodies can be owned, to the point that the landscape becomes "transfigured by unfulfilled love" (143). Québécité, on the other hand, is an opera about two interracial couples getting married in contemporary Quebec City. It is Clarke's utopia and Beatrice's dream: a world where love is possible across any historical or cultural boundaries. This utopia, informed by Canada's policy of multiculturalism, is problematic, especially in terms of its engagement with Québec's own cultural and historical issues. As performances, however, both plays invite an inclusive community of Canadians to discuss the issues raised, even if they cannot yet be solved.Précis Beatrice Chancy (1999), l'opéra par George Elliott Clarke, est l'histoire de la fille d'une esclave Noire et de son maître Blanc dans la Nouvelle Ecosse de 1801. Adressant l'ignorance qu'ont plusieurs Canadiens de l'esclavage pratiquée au Canada entre 1689 et 1834, la pièce démontre comment se pervertit l'amour dans une société où un corps peut être une commodité. Québécité (2003), d'autre part, met en scène deux couples de races mixtes qui se marient dans la Ville de Québec contemporaine. L'histoire est également l'utopie de Clarke et le rêve de Beatrice: une monde où l'amour est possible à travers toutes frontières historiques et culturelles. Cette utopie tant informée par l'éthique multi-culturelle Canadienne est très problématique, spécialement mise en vue de son engagement avec la dynamique culturelle et historique du Québec au sein du Canada. À travers leurs manifestations dramatiques, les deux pièces invitent une communauté inclusive de Canadiens à discuter les problèmes abordés, sans exiger leur résolution.

This analysis of secondary data collected from family members of nursing home residents in North Texas (n = 422) used a mixed methods approach to determine if there is a difference in perspectives on quality care among family members of Alzheimer’s/Dementia Special Care Unit (ADSCU) residents compared to those of non-ADSCU residents. Descriptive content analysis was used identify and condense responses to an open-ended question into four meaningful categories of qualities of care. An independent t-test was employed to determine if there was a difference between family members of ADSCU residents and family members of non-ADSCU residents regarding their rating of their loved-ones’ nursing home on the important qualities of care they identified from the open-ended question. Closed-ended questions were organized into indices of these qualities of care, and ordinary least square regression was employed to determine if there were significant differences between perceptions of family members of ADSCU residents and those of non-ADSCU residents regarding care their loved-ones are receiving on these qualities of care, controlling for frequency of visit.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis describes the experiences of nurses and midwives working in metropolitan hospitals who cared for a significant other in their role of employment.
The absence of research directly related to this topic guided the exploration of individuals’ experiences to establish base line knowledge relating to this phenomenon.
This study used descriptive research to provide information relating to the personal and professional effects on nurses who were required to, chose to or had no choice but to care for a significant other in their role of employment. An on-line survey gathered demographic, Likert scale responses to evaluate impact on care, and personal narratives to describe and reflect on their experiences.
Nurses’ recollections showed that nurses personalise the importance of patient outcomes, are distracted from the usual daily plan and alter their normal decision making processes. Personal effects included role confusion due to the concurrent nurse/patient/significant other relationships resulting in exhaustion and guilt. All of these effects lead to alteration in stress levels experienced by the nurse as a consequence of caring for a significant other in the role of employment.

Bakgrund: Palliativ vård ska tillgodose behoven hos patienter med livshotande (icke botbara) sjukdomar på alla vårdnivåer i Sverige. Studier har visat att närstående till patienter i specialiserad palliativ hemsjukvård inte alltid har bemötts korrekt eller tagits på allvar vilket har resulterat i att de har slitit hårt ofta i skymundan. Att inte få rätt stöd har visat sig kunna leda till både fysiska, psykiska och psykosociala påfrestningar. Det har till exempel rapporterats om nedstämdhet, koncentrationssvårigheter och fatigue. Centralt i arbetet som sjuksköterska i specialiserad palliativ hemsjukvård är stöd till närstående då de ofta är en förutsättning för att patienten ska kunna vistas den sista tiden i livet i hemmet. Stödet bestod till stor del av samtal. Genom att bekräfta och ta närståendes oro och funderingar på allvar ökade deras välbefinnande. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskornas erfarenheter av att stödja närstående genom samtal inom specialiserad palliativ hemsjukvård. Metod: Designen var en empirisk studie med induktiv beskrivande ansats. Datainsamling skedde genom kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer. Resultat: Efter analysen framträdde svaret på de två frågeställningarna: Hur gjorde sjuksköteskorna för att etablera en god kontakt med närstående? Hur kunde sjuksköterskorna stötta närstående? Det framkom fyra subkategorier till varje fråga. Resultatet visade att samtalet i specialiserad palliativ hemsjukvård var en stor del av det befintliga arbetet men att det inte alltid skedde under strukturerade och medvetna former. Erfarenheter av strukturerade närståendesamtal var uteslutande positiva. Diskussion: Resultatet diskuterades mot valda delar av Watson´s tio karitativa faktorer. Känslighet gentemot självet och andra, Mänsklig omsorgsrelation, Att ge uttryck för positiva och negativa känslor, Kreativ, problemlösande omsorgsprocess.Background: Palliative care is intended to cater for the needs of patients with life threatening, non-curable, diseases at all levels of medical care in Sweden. Studies have shown that family and loved ones of patients receiving specialized palliative care in the home have not always been taken seriously or otherwise considered appropriately. This has led to them struggling under the pressure, often without acknowledgment. Not receiving the appropriate support has been shown to be a factor causing physical, psychological as well as psychosocial distresses. For example, depression, difficulties to concentrate and fatigue have been reported. Central to the work as a nurse in specialized palliative home care is to provide support to family and loved ones as it is often a necessity enabling the patient to be at home towards the end of life. The support in this case consisted largely of dialogue. By acknowledging and considering the thoughts and worries of the family, their wellbeing was increased. Aim: Describing the experiences of nurses supporting family and loved ones through dialogue within specialized palliative home care. Method: The study was by design inductive and data were collected via qualitative research interviews. Results: Following the analysis, the answer to the two questions emerged: How did nurses do to establish a good relationship with family and loved ones? How could nurses support family and loved ones? There were four subcategories for each question. The result showed that the conversation in specialized palliative home care was a major part of the existing work, but it did not always happen in structured and conscious forms. The experience of structured conversations with relatives was exclusively positive. Discussion: The result was discussed against selected parts of Watson's ten carative factors. Sensitivity to self and others, Human care relationship, To express positive and negative feelings, Creative, problem-solving care process.

This descriptive, exploratory study framed within Parse’s theory of humanbecoming, addressed the research question: What is the meaning of persons’ experiences of keeping in touch with their loved ones who have died. Seven persons described their experiences of keeping in touch with their loved ones who had died. Study themes in the language of the participants were treasured events and signs give rise to lasting comfort while constant yet changing bonds come with turmoil and tranquility amid unfolding strength and confidence. Interpreted in the language of the researcher, study findings were written as cherished ciphers and occurrences engender solace as enduring-shifting ties abide with ease unease amid fortifying expansion. Study themes were linked primarily with theoretical concepts of valuing imaging, connecting-separating, and transforming. Findings were discussed in light of relevant literature, and possibilities for nursing practice, education, policy, and further research were offered.

In this study, the memorial objects which people prepared for their loved ones when they face death was discussed. Through interviews and cultural probes, their opinions and their purposes in regard to these relics was investigated. Meaningful items in their lives were also collected to clarify the relationship between the users and the meaningful objects. During the process of their preparation, some problems and difficulties people encountered were also discussed. According to the results, the transformations of the relationship and different levels of self-preservations were proposed. The research also provided a few design suggestions and examples for designers when designing memorial products or services. From the perspective of those who left, people’s needs when they face death were gained; it provided some new directions and opportunities for designers when design memorial services in the future.

ABSTRACT
Globalization and an exponential increase in cross-border migration have led to a
redefining of belonging and membership. It is argued that the question of belonging is no
longer a question of residential geography and ties to location, but one that is
constructed in light of a decline of the meaning of fixed place in an ever more globalized
world. Globalization has facilitated a rise of alternatives to place-bound identity. Yet,
when refugees face the experiences of death and burial of loved ones in exile, they
seem to cling to fixed place as the base for asserting their identity and where they
belong while in exile. Although where one is buried is important in many African
communities, burying loved ones on foreign land does not generate rather a new sense
of connection to the foreign land. Instead, refugees repudiate ties to this soil and
consciously invoke references to their homeland and geographical locations in
describing where they belong. This paper presents a discussion of the concepts of
belonging and place in the context of compelling experiences of death and burial in exile
for refugees in a globalized world.

Emergency medical services (EMS) personnel experience direct traumatic exposure that can leave a lasting negative impact. However, little is known about the vicarious exposure that EMS personnel experience at challenging calls when family and loved ones are present at the scene. Additionally, there is minimal research that has looked at the experiences among paramedics and EMTs who arrive to mental disturbance calls or completed suicides. In order to add to the substantial body of literature on EMS personnel and traumatic exposure, this study explored their experiences of multifaceted traumatization; the lived experiences of paramedics and EMTs who have responded to completed suicides where loved ones of the deceased were present, and as a result, experienced both a negative psychological impact and posttraumatic growth. The study explored the risk factors and protective factors that paramedics and EMTs experience in their work. Additionally, this inquiry sought to explore the ways in which participants find meaning in providing emergency medical services and how they sustain their work.
<br>This qualitative, phenomenological study was conducted through semi-structured individual interviews with 12 paramedics or EMTs who have been employed or volunteered for at least one year. Explication of data was completed using van Manen's (1990) four existential themes: spatiality, corporeality, temporality, and relationality. The results of this study identified themes that address van Manen's (1990) lived existentials, protective factors against posttraumatic symptoms through direct and vicarious traumatization, risk factors that contribute to these symptoms, and meaning making in their work. The implications of the study for the field of emergency medical services and suggestions for future research are provided.School of Education;

Death and bereavement are sensitive issues experienced by all mortal species across the world. When death occurs, some individual are left bereaved. However, all societies have established cultural ways of mourning the dead as a way of healing the bereaved; although it seems the bereavement rituals are decided and performed without the bereaves consent. The aim of the study was to explore the experiences of death and bereavement amongst the young Vhavenda widows. The primary objectives of the study were to identify the challenges experienced by young Vhavenda widows in Vhembe District during the time of death and bereavement; establish whether these women are treated with respect, dignity, and compassion during the process of death and bereavement; understand the coping strategies they employed in dealing with death and bereavement and understand their expectations regarding the role to be played by the family and the community. Finally, the study sought to ascertain the overall impact of the process of death and bereavement on widow’s future lives. A qualitative research method was used to collect indepth data through unstructured interviews. The interviews were conducted using a purposeful sampling method among 13 young widows at Tshikombani village in Nzhelele in Vhembe District. Mbigi’s five finger theory of Ubuntu was employed as the main theory aligning with the study. The research findings indicated that most young widows are coerced into performing bereavement rituals while elders made decisions for some. Only one young widow did not have bereavement rituals performed on her. The Findings also indicate that the participants are not fully aware of their rights as women, wives and citizens of South Africa. These raises need for government institutions to address issues concerning human, women and marital rights to the widows specifically in the rural areas of South Africa.

The death of a loved one is currently a very common topic, and it is important for a social worker to keep it in mind. This thesis is called "The Phenomena of Death in a Social Worker's Job". The theoretical part was made by using analysed relevant literature, chosen by snowballing sampling. This thesis is divided into three chapters. The first two chapters focus on the theory and definition of death, anticipation and sudden death, suicide, mourning and options to help the survivors. The third chapter contains the practical part, with research data, including charts and graphical interpretation. The goal of this empiric research is to use semi-structured online surveys to answer the main research question: "How do students of the second year of postgraduate study of major SACH at HTF UK feel about their readiness to handle death of their clients and confrontation with survivors during their work?" I was trying to find out whether students at our faculty are considering this topic and how they feel about it. The research shows that students do not feel prepared to encounter these topics during their work. The most important part of the thesis I consider a subchapter, which contains interviews with social workers who have already encountered deaths and survivors during their work. I am using these...
