Bonnett, Victoria M. "Recovery perspectives and narratives of hope of young people experiencing psychosis". Thesis, Canterbury Christ Church University, 2016. http://create.canterbury.ac.uk/14800/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Recovery focus has shifted in recent years towards understanding the impact of mental health difficulties on the wider individual context. This includes focus on social inclusion, engendering hope and peer support. For adolescents, psychosis and mental health treatment may interrupt typical developmental tasks such as individuation and successful stage progression. The aim of this research was to expand understanding of how young people with psychosis experience hope. This included how hope was experienced in specific domains and to which factors young people attributed changes in their hopefulness. The study employed a qualitative non-experimental design, using a semi-structured interview schedule developed in accordance with narrative methodology. Ten young people between 16 - 26 years old were interviewed. The experience of hope as an overarching strand throughout the narratives had three common elements; a sense of belonging, the importance of information and the significance of planning and occupation in relation to hope. Work was often a goal within domain-specific hope, and friendships seemed to be less apparent. The study concludes that for some young people, psychosis can act as a turning point towards hopeful thinking. Information can both promote and hinder hope and the importance of meeting others with lived experience in engendering hopeful thinking and greater social inclusion should be considered when working with young people.

Pritchard, Jane. "An exploration of the perceptions of younger people with dementia about hope". Thesis, University of Southampton, 2017. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/417224/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Many people with dementia report that hope is important to them. Despite this, people with dementia experience low levels of hope and high levels of hopelessness. This experience is different from that of people with terminal illness who typically report high levels of hope. Facilitating hope in people with dementia has been described as an integral part of caring and vital to the work of nurses as well as central to person-centred care. Nevertheless, studies to date lack detail about how staff might recognise, explore and promote hope. The aim of the research was to examine the phenomenon of hope from the perspective of younger people (those under 65) with dementia, in order to generate new understanding, and enable community based healthcare professionals to support well-being. The study used a modified diary-interview method. Participants were given a camera and asked to take pictures of whatever made them feel hopeful. During a post-diary semi-structured interview, a conversation about hope took place. Findings have indicated that hope is important to younger people with dementia. People hoped for a future, and five themes in particular were elicited about what people hoped for; good health for themselves and others; for enjoyable events to take place; for continued contact with other people; for success in their endeavours; and for a better world. Sources of hope were: the surrounding environment; ‘taking action’; the person’s own internal resources, and keeping connected to others. An over-arching theme was ‘defying dementia’ where participants demonstrated resistance to negative stereotypes. Living with dementia did not curtail hope, although it could be weakened when participants felt ‘cast adrift’. Further research is required to ascertain whether hope should be a more central part of conversations professionals undertake with people with dementia.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The concept of hope has historically been neglected in the field of psychology, but has begun to receive considerable attention in recent years. This is due to the growth of the positive psychology movement and the recognition of hope as an important element in psychological therapy. Various authors have put forward theoretical ideas regarding the role of hope in different therapeutic approaches and research exploring these ideas with both clinicians and service users has begun to emerge. However, the existing literature is limited in its exploration of hope from the perspective of service users and fails to explore the role of hope in the face of challenging life circumstances, and in situations where it is difficult to sustain hope. Participants for this study were recruited through the Samaritans, a voluntary organisation which provides confidential emotional support for people who are experiencing varying levels of emotional distress. Seven people with experience of contacting the Samaritans were interviewed to explore the role of hope in their contacts with the organisation. Specifically, this research set out to investigate how these participants spoke about hope, what enabled them to have hope and what role Samaritan volunteers may have in this. A grounded theory analysis resulted in a grounded theory consisting of one core category; 'searching for hope in the context of despair', and three main categories; 'defining hope: the context of despair', 'attuning to hope' and 'fostering hope'. For the participants in the current study, hope was understood in relation to the opposite experience of despair and was something which could only be fostered through a process of attuning to this despair, before then fostering hope. The findings have implications for the training of Samaritan volunteers and contribute to the literature exploring how clinicians can work with hope in practice

Cheong, Mei Yan. "How to raise 'hope' in young people from a moderate learning difficulties special school?" Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2017. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1573601/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Using Snyder’s hope theory as the base, the present study aimed to conduct a qualitative-based exploratory case study to understand the relevance and operationalisation of a hope programme to young people from a moderate learning difficulties (MLD) special school. The person-centred approach was adopted in which the perspectives of four young people attending an MLD special school and their teachers and parents were obtained. This research has two phases. In Phase 1, the young people were invited to share their understandings of the terms used in Snyder’s hope theory, i.e. hope, goal, pathway thinking (replaced by the term ‘plan’ in this research), and agency thinking (replaced by the term ‘motivation’). They were also asked to share their views about the relevance and significance to them of an intervention programme, developed using Snyder’s hope theory, as well as its applications. The young people’s responses, along with Snyder’s hope theory, were then presented to the teachers and parents, to obtain their perspectives. The study findings demonstrated that most participants were positive about implementing a hope programme, based on Snyder’s theory, in the school. However, concerns were also raised with regard to its accessibility for students of all levels. Implications of the study findings for young people from an MLD special school and the practices of educational psychologists (EPs) were reflected. This research reflected the significant role of EPs in working systemically with schools, parents and students, and having an influence at the school level. It also demonstrated the role of EPs in strengthening the equal opportunities given to young people from an MLD school, and shed light on the appropriateness of a wellbeing programme that was informed by the local context as well as by group norms and values.

Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.
The higher increase in the number of HIV/AIDS patients in the country has necessitated the expansion of Home Based Care (HBC) programmes and has called for the need to strengthen the HBC services in Tanzania. Since scaling up of HBC services is fundamental and the resources dedicated into HBC programs are supposed to be utilized efficiently, the factors hindering the provision of HBC services should be known and resolved. A cross sectional study was applied in studying the factors that influence the provision of HBC services and a quantitative method of data collection and analysis was used. A sample of 8 civil society organisations out of 23 carrying out HBC activities under 'Hope' HBC program were selected, representing organizations from rural and peri urban areas.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This study examines the federally-funded HOPE VI initiative as it relates to affordable housing in Atlanta. It examines spatial and social outcomes experienced by residents of the now-demolished public housing units. Findings indicate, inter alia, that the voices of residents were either ignored or excluded in the policymaking decisions of the Atlanta Housing Authority.
A case study analysis approach was used to analyze data gathered from three sources: primary data collected from an original online survey, primary data gathered from personal interviews with community stakeholders, and secondary survey and focus group data from two evaluation studies of Capitol Homes revitalization.
The researcher found that, while there are still barriers to sustainability and self-sufficiency, most of the residents who were displaced are generally satisfied with their living environment post relocation.
The conclusions drawn from the findings suggest that more evaluations are necessary to determine long-term outcomes of relocated residents. Furthermore, residents - as beneficiaries and stakeholders of housing policy - should have an equal voice in housing development decisions of the Atlanta Housing Authority and its partners.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The aim of this research is to reveal the reality negotiation process for finding hope in people who have Depression. In the traditional, modern and medical models of depression, and biological, psychological, social or even contextual perspectives, it is considered that people who are affected by depression are stigmatized in a sick role with different kinds of dysfunctions or deficiencies. They are not considered to have much hope. Their reality is singular and absolute which prevent the use of personal agency to make choices, take action and narrate preferences and experiences to address their problems. In the school of positive psychology, there is a theory that focuses on pathways to hope which aim at positivity as people have the ability for reality negotiation. The postmodern and humanistic views have allowed people to start to see that even though one may be affected by mental illnesses, one will still have his/her expert knowledge, unique experiences, and strategies through narratives of hope. This research is collaborative narrative research. Twelve individuals, males and females of different ages and backgrounds, have been invited to take part in semi-structured in-depth narrative interviews. They have also been invited to provide feedback and reflections during the interview process. They are given the opportunity to comment on their own verbatim and review the script at a second interview for further storytelling and reflection. When these individuals are given the space and time to narrate their accounts of negotiating depression, the hope that is previously hidden will then emerge. Throughout the conversation, they reconstruct their preferred self by revisiting the negotiation process. They have the agency to perform their preferred life and self-strategies and over techniques to manage life problems and compete with the power of dominant discourses within the mainstream context. It is shown that they have to lead their life with hopeful stories that are applicable to their future life circumstances. A theory is consequently formulated based on the findings of the process of reality negotiation in finding hope. Recommendations are provided in light of the current situation of mental health services in the Hong Kong Chinese cultural context, which include recommendations on the allocation of resources and human resources that are oriented towards the expertise of the persons who are facing depression. It is based on their knowledge and experience found by the everyday stories of the persons through collaboration with them.

The lifespan developmental framework views aging as a time of continued personal change and development. Death is perhaps the most salient developmental challenge older persons face. The relationship of self-transcendence, spirituality, and hope to personal death perspectives was the focus of this research. A descriptive correlational approach was used to study the relationships between these variables. Interviews were conducted with forty healthy adults aged sixty-five and older. Findings revealed that self-transcendence and spirituality were significantly correlated with positive death perspectives in this sample. Findings also revealed significant relationships between age and death perspectives, gender and self-transcendence, and gender and spirituality. No significant relationships were found between hope and death perspectives and hopelessness and death perspectives.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The “slave village” occupies an important place in New World plantation archaeology, though one in which the variation of experience and the internal social organization have yet to be thoroughly addressed. Through archaeological investigation, this dissertation explores the social dynamics and institutions created by enslaved people to negotiate their domestic circumstances. In many plantation settings, enslaved people lived in dedicated villages or the rear-yards of plantation houses. their domestic boundaries were prescribed, but the life they created within those boundaries was by and large a product of their own sense of sociability, domesticity, and ingenuity. The ways in which people created, divided, and decided on the everyday tasks of life, and positioned themselves in relation to others, reveals much about the domestic strategies they created to navigate and negotiate the conditions of enslavement. I develop this research through an archaeological investigation of three related sites in northern Jamaica. Each site represents domestic spaces of enslaved people tied to Good Hope estate, a 2000-acre sugar plantation that operated from the mid 18th through the early 19th century. Upwards of 500 enslaved people labored at Good Hope at any one time, living between these three separate sites. While most of the enslaved labor force lived in a central primary village, the second smaller village and the urban quarters housed the plantation’s enslaved domestic servants. Archaeological investigation of these three sites provided the data necessary to understand enslaved domestic life as it concerns household organization, consumer choices, the implications of labor roles, physical and social mobility, and the degree to which the plantation’s laboring population organized itself into a distinct enslaved community. This pursuit of community, as a social process, developed and maintained through everyday dwelling, guides this research. By revealing the “enslaved community” as constrained from the outside, though socially constituted from within, this dissertation develops methods, measures, and socio-cultural insight into how forcefully aggregated populations develop social institutions to navigate the often horrific conditions imposed from the outside. Together, this study demonstrates how slavery was an attempt to dehumanize, but failed in that project. Innovative and strategic measures allowed a systematically exploited group of people to reclaim humanity through a social world carved out by and for enslaved people in the dwelling space of the plantation regime.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The interpretations of the war of 1835 and the identity of the Fingo that were presented by the English settlers, have remained the mainstays of all subsequent histories. They asserted that the war of 1835 was the fault purely of 'Kaffir' aggression, that it was controlled by Hintza, the paramount chief, and that the ensuing hostilities were justifiable colonial defence and punishment of the Africans. The arrival of the Fingo in the Colony, it was claimed, was unconnected with the war. It was alleged that the seventeen thousand Fingo brought into the Colony in May 1835 were all Natal refugees who had fled south from the devastations of Shaka and the 'mfecane', and who had then become oppressed by their Gca1eka hosts. Both of these 'histories' need to be inverted. The 'irruption' of December 1834 was not unprovoked Rharhabe aggression, but the final response to years of the advance of the Cape Colony. Large areas of Rharhabe land had been expropriated, and their cattle regularly raided. Their women and children had been seized and taken into the Colony as labourers. The attacks were carried out by only a section of the Rharhabe on specific areas in Albany. The damage caused, and stock taken, was vastly exaggerated by the colonists. The Cape Governor, D'Urban, and British troop reinforcements arrived in Albany in January, and the Rharhabe were invaded two months later. D'Urban later invaded the innocent Gcaleka, took cattle, wreaked havoc and killed Hintza after he refused to ally with the Colony. The Fingo made their appearance at this moment. They were not a homogenous group. There were four categories within the term: mission and refugee collaborators (who were given land at Peddie and had chiefs appointed), military auxiliaries, labourers, and later, destitute Rharhabe seeking employment in the Colony. Only a small minority of the total Fingo were from Natal. The majority of the Fingo appear to have been Rharhabe and Gcaleka women and children, captured by the troops during the war and distributed on farms in the eastern districts to ameliorate the chronic labour shortage. Thus, instead of the year 1835 being one of great loss for the eastern Cape, as claimed by the settler apologists, it was a catalyst to the economic development of the area. All Rharhabe land was seized, to be granted as settler farms. Well over sixty thousand Rharhabe and Gcaleka cattle were captured and distributed amongst the colonists. The security threat of the adjacent Rharhabe and the independent Gcaleka was removed. And a large colonial labour supply was ensured.

Mensah, Kofi Akohene. "An exploration of evaluation approaches for community based interventions for people living with HIV (PLHIV) with results applied to the ‘HOPE’ programme in Ghana". Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2011. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2665/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Background: The increase in the number of people living with HIV (PLHIV), especially in sub-Saharan Africa, is a major public health concern. To date, most attention has been paid to prevention strategies and clinical trials of therapy. In comparison, there have been very few studies of care and support programmes. The ‘HOPE’ programme is a major community-based care and support programme in Ghana. ‘HOPE’ provides nutritional support, skills training for employment, health education and psychological support for PLHIV and for those orphaned through AIDS. Therefore, it was seen by policy makers in the country as desirable that it should be evaluated. A PhD scholarship was funded and the researcher presenting this thesis was appointed. Broad Aims The overall aim was to carry out an evaluation of the ‘HOPE’ programme in Ghana in order to make wider recommendations for evaluation of community-based interventions (CBIs) in Ghana and Africa generally. The timing was less than ideal as many of the major decisions about the intervention had already been made and baseline data had been collected. Therefore, the preliminary aim was to explore a range of possible evaluation methods so that the most suitable approach could be selected. Thereafter, a range of more specific aims, objectives and research questions was identified. Methods: A ‘mixed methods’ approach was adopted. The first component was a desk-based analysis of the literature on the various evaluation approaches that might, at least in theory, be applied to an HIV/AIDS intervention like ‘HOPE’. From this, a decision was made to evaluate ‘HOPE’ in terms of structure, process and outcome. The second component operationalised this decision by reviewing HOPE’s working documents and conducting two pieces of field work: a quantitative and a qualitative study. The quantitative study was a structured questionnaire administered to 200 PLHIV on the ‘HOPE’ programme. The qualitative study consisted of 14 interviews with stakeholders directly involved in the programme implementation and 8 focus group discussions with the programme beneficiaries. Results: The desk-based analysis achieved three main outcomes. First, it set out in a systematic manner the different approaches to evaluation that could in theory have been applied to ‘HOPE’. It identified strengths and weaknesses and the perspectives behind each approach. Second, it set out and then summarised a detailed description of the ‘HOPE’ programme and the national context in which it operated. Third, it set the above within the context of global literature on HIV, community-based interventions and nutritional support programmes. The analysis of the quantitative data showed that beneficiaries were being provided with soy-fortified wheat and vegetable fortified oil at the time of the evaluation. On average, beneficiaries gained weight (Mean difference in weight was 2kg with 95% CI (1.1, 2.9), p-value < 0.001) and increased Body Mass Index (BMI) (Mean difference in BMI was 0.8units with 95% CI (0.4, 1.2), P-value < 0.001). Over a third of the beneficiaries (37.5%) was currently unemployed and only one in five of the beneficiaries had been trained in a skill that might have been useful to find employment: this, despite skills training for all being a programme goal. Multivariate analysis showed that the support group to which the beneficiary belonged was the most important determinant of a positive outcome. Qualitative components demonstrated perceived successes and challenges. Beneficiaries indicated that the anti-retroviral drugs were making them hungry and the food helped to alleviate that effect. They further indicated that the food was nutritious and contributed to their weight gain. Support groups have been sustained and membership increased. Some indicated that food should be more varied and some mentioned selling food to earn money to pay for their medications. Most of the beneficiaries indicated they were unemployed having lost their jobs as a result of stigmatisation. Only a few benefited from skills training leading to employment because of inadequate budgeting. Some who had been trained could not use their newly acquired skills because of lack of capital to start a business. To compound these weaknesses, most reported that they preferred petty trading to the skills offered. The monthly education and the training workshops generated hope, and improved knowledge of HIV/AIDS, promoted drug adherence and helped to reduce stigmatisation. The training of the PLHIV as peer educators is an effective method for HIV education and counselling since PLHIV listen to their peers more than health workers. Respondees predicted dissolution of the support groups when the programme ends. This is because they were not adequately involved in the decision making. Beneficiaries identified participation and cooperation as key prerequisites for sustainability but they also identified important weaknesses in ‘HOPE’ with respect to these criteria. Discussion: Despite the challenges presented by the timing and context of this study, it has been possible to carry out an evaluation that provides important learning. A mixed methods approach was appropriate and is likely to be useful in many similar evaluations. Beneficial outcomes were identified but these cannot be attributed, without qualification, to the intervention. Nonetheless, the findings indicated that participants were highly satisfied with the food support and monthly education. They were dissatisfied with the numbers trained in new skills and in other aspects of the skills training components. Also, the sustainability of the food component when the funding stops was a concern. However, the educational component could be sustained because peer educators could continue at very low cost. Most importantly, community involvement, using locally available resources, inter-sectoral collaboration and harnessing the motivation of local people were seen as key but underutilised ingredients. So, the results of the evaluation are encouraging but not conclusive. Nonetheless, care for people living with HIV is such an important problem that the desirability of conducting a cluster randomised controlled trial among a large number of support groups to assess the programme effectiveness on health, nutrition and economic status should be seriously considered despite the practical and ethical challenges implicit in such a recommendation.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This study questions how young people hope, aspire and plan towards the future, with a particular emphasis on their perceptions and attitudes towards attending university. Higher Education (HE) has become a mainstream part of transitioning towards adulthood for many young people in the UK; however there remains a political concern that participation rates are unevenly distributed across the country. Widening Participation attempts to redress this inequality amongst those from underrepresented groups. This study therefore illuminates what influences young people’s educational aspirations. Working with three secondary schools located in traditionally white working class areas of social housing in the city of Leicester, I used participatory and creative methods to investigate the educational aspirations of working class pupils. I contend that school expectations often differed greatly from the culture of the estate, where education was seldom valued. For some, there was evidence of a clear dissonance between their personal aspirations and those ‘high aspirations’ for educational success which their school promoted. However, the idea that an ‘estate culture’ exists was often challenged by other young people, many of whom did aspire to go to university. I found that this aspiration often clashed with family expectations. The process of (re)producing aspirations was often tangled, complex and confusing for young people as they negotiated feelings of close attachment to their neighbourhood, friends and family. This was also complicated by external expectations from schools to ‘raise their aspirations’ by becoming more mobile and successful (middle class) individuals. My original contribution to knowledge is to empirically test Webb’s (2007) hope theory to illuminate how young people use hope when setting aspirations for the future. I question how the conscious act of setting goals as an aspiration, interrelates with the subconscious and embedded understanding of young people’s own class identities (habitus).

The aims of this thesis are to illuminate the meaning of being cared for and treated by nurses and physicians, as narrated by psychiatric suicidal in-patients; the meaning of taking care of and treating patient at risk of committing suicide, as narrated by nurses and physicians; and the meaning of being met and having one’s suicidal relative taken care of by health personnel, as narrated by relatives. Narrative interviews were conducted with 42 adult patients at risk of committing suicide in an in-patient psychiatric unit, 19 RNs, 19 physicians, and 15 relatives at a hospital in Norway. The tape-recorded and transcribed interviews were interpreted using a phenomenological hermeneutic method. Nurses’ relations to patients at risk of committing suicide were illuminated via the dimension ‘Distance- Closeness’ (I). The relation of the suicidal patient to the nurses was illuminated via the dimension ‘Confirming- Lack of confirming’ (II). The relation of physicians to patients was illuminated via the dimension ‘Power to - Power over’. (III). The relation of suicidal patients to physicians was illuminated via the dimension ‘Participating approach-Observing approach’ (TV). Results from the relatives’ experiences of being met by health personnel of suicidal patients reveal that the context of being met was characterized by ‘being helpless-powerless’, and that the meaning of the experiences of ‘being met’ was reflected in six themes: ‘Being seen as a human being’; ‘Participating in an I-Thou relationship with personnel’; ‘Trusting personnel, treatment and care’; ‘Being trusted by personnel’; ‘Being consoled’; and ‘Entering into hope’ (V). The interpreted meanings of the experience of being cared for as a person at risk of committing suicide were illuminated as confirmation, communion, consolation and hope. Threaded through these meanings is the relation with self and others. Thus, the essence of the results that emerged from this study indicates the presence of a relational view of the care received by people at risk of committing suicide.Diss.

Present day Thembuland is situated roughly between the Mthatha and Kei rivers. It lies within the south-western portion of the political unit which has been known since 1976 as the Republic of Transkei. It comprises the territories formerly known as Emigrant Thembuland (now the districts of Cala and Cofimvaba) and Thembuland Proper, i.e. the districts of Mqanduli, Umtata, Engcobo and Bomvanaland. We have evidence that Thembu people had already settled in Thembu land Proper, at the Mbashe river, by the beginning of the 17th century. Pioneering clans many have entered the territory at a much earlier date. In the 1830's some clans broke away from the Mbashe settlement, and moved to the region of present day Queenstown. In 1853 their lands were included in the so-called Tambookie Location, which in 1871 became the district of Glen Grey. Emigrant Thembuland came into existence in 1865 when four chiefs from Glen Grey accepted Sir Philip Wodehouse's offer to settle on the lands across the White Kei whence the Xhosa chief Sarhili had been expelled in 1857. This thesis deals with the history of the people who lived in these territories between 1850 and 1900.

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 1991.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A song has to be accepted by the community, must form part of the oral tradition and be handed over from one generation to the next, before it can be called a folk song. In the process of oral tradition, variants usually develop. A folk song is therefore never complete the moment it is created, but is formed gradually through a process of changes. The Afrikaans folk song sung by the coloured people has the same characteristics as the folk song in general. The fact that oral tradition is the major way of spreading songs, is evident from the many variants that occur and from the examples of transformation of words and melody ("Umsingen"and "Zersingen"). Simplicity, the use of the major key and the avoidance of modulation are prominent characteristics. Suggestiveness and coarse language are fairly common. Melismata are very rare and usually occur in songs which probably have their origin in old Afrikaans records. Most of the songs collected amongst coloured children are used to accompany games. The children seldom sing without playing or play without singing. Most variants are found amongst children's songs. Dancing songs are without a doubt the most popular amongst the songs of adults. The form of the stanzas is very simple and usually the songs consist of many stanzas. A small percentage of the songs collected, more or less 5%, presumably originate from old Afrikaans grammophone records. Most of these songs have been transformed by popular usage and even amongst them variants have been found. The main themes of this group of songs are love, parting, grief and death. Picnic songs, work songs, war songs and drinking songs have been found. Humoristic and mocking songs contribute to the entertainment value of the folk song and are also found amongst the coloured people. Because there is so much interaction between sacred songs and secular songs, especially where the melodies are concerned, the two groups cannot always be separated from each other. The sacred songs of the coloured people are mostly of the "refrain"-type. When a group of coloured people perform the sacred songs, they usually harmonise spontaneously and most beautifully. The fact that so much has been said and written on the subject of the folk song, and that even in recent years substantial research projects have been carried out, is proof enough that the folk song has not yet died out. The Afrikaans folk song features strongly amongst coloured people, though noticeably influenced by the English language, modern technology and urbanisation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: 'n Volkslied is 'n lied wat deur die gemeenskap aanvaar is, mondelings versprei word en op dieselfde wyse van geslag tot geslag oorgelewer word en waarvan daar in die prosesse variante ontstaan. 'n Volkslied is dus nie voltooi die oomblik dat die eerste vorm geskep is nie, maar word deur 'n langsame proses geleidelik gevorm en omvorm. Die Afrikaanse volkslied wat deur die bruinmense gesing word, toon dieselfde kenmerke as die volkslied in die algemeen. Daar is tekens van mondelinge oorlewering wat veral weerspieel word deur die baie variante wat aangetref word, sowel as talle voorbeelde van verbrokkeling en ver~ vorming ("Umsingen" en "Zerzingen"). Eenvoud in woord en melodie is opvallend. Die majeurtoonaard, met vermyding van modulasie, kom feitlik deurgaans voor. Suggestiwiteit en growwe taal is redelik algemeen. Melismes kom selde voor en dan meestal by liedere wat waarskynlik van ou Afrikaanse plate kom. By die opnames onder bruin kinders is gevind dat die oorgrote meerderheid liedere wat hulle sing, een of ander vorm van spel begelei. Hulle sing selde sonder om te speel, en hulle speel selde sonder om te sing. Die meeste variante van liedere word ook by die kinders aangetref. By die liedere van volwassenes is die danslied ongetwyfeld die gewildste. Die meeste daarvan bestaan uit kort, eenvoudige strofes met baie strofes in een lied. 'n Klein persentasie van die liedere wat versamel is, ongeveer 5%, is vermoedelik van ou Afrikaanse grammofoonplate afkomstig. Die meeste daarvan het baie vervorm in die volksmond en selfs daarvan is variante aangetref. Die temas van hierdie groep liedere handel hoofsaaklik oor die liefde, afskeid, hartseer en die dood. Voorbeelde van piekniek-, arbeids- en oorlogsliedere, sowel as enkele drinkliedere en doprympies is aangetref. Die humoristiese lied en spotlied dra by tot die vermaaklikhiedsfunksie van die volkslied en kom ook by die bruinmense voor. Die gewyde of geestelike lied kan nie altyd streng van die wereldlike lied geskei word nie. Daar is te veel wisselwerking tussen die twee groepe, veral wat wysies betref. Die gewyde liedere wat by die bruinmense,aangetref is, is meestal van die sogenaamde "koortjie"-tipe. 'n Kenmerk van hulle gewyde sang is dat wanneer dit deur 'n groep gesing word, dit altyd meerstemmig is met pragtige harmoniee wat op natuurlike wyse gedoen word. Die feit dat daar al so baie oor die volkslied geskryf is en selfs onlangs nog omvatteride studies daaroor die lig gesien het, is bewys dat die volklied nog nie uitgesterf het nie. Daar is bewys dat die Afrikaanse volkslied onder die bruinmense baie sterk staan, hoewel Engelse invloed duidelik merkbaar is en tekens van moderne ontwikkeling en verstedeliking onmiskenbaar waargeneem kanword.

A cross-sectional study of risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) in a random sample of 976 coloured people revealed a population greatly at risk of CHD. The major reversible risk factors were very common: 57% of men and 41% of women smoked, 17,2% of men and 18,4% of women were hypertensive (>160/95 mm Hg or receiving medication), and 17,4% of men and 16,2% of women had a total serum cholesterol value above 6,5 mmol/litre. The high cut-off points used to identify the above prevalence rate do not reflect the total population at risk. At lower but real levels of risk 94,6% of men and 89,8% of women carried some degree of CHD risk factors was found.

Warren, L. A. "Home care and elderly people : the experiences of home helps and old people in Salford". Thesis, University of Salford, 1988. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/14794/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
My study is concerned not simply with the what and the how of hone care for the elderly but also with the I ask about how the domiciliary services operate: what home helps do for elderly people and how they feel about their caring role, and, what the circumstances of elderly people needing care are and how they feel about using help. But I also want to know why home help operates in this way: why home helps care in the way they do and why elderly people feel as they do about using that care? Such an approach cannot fail to take into consideration the wider ecological and structural context within which elderly people and home helps live and work. Part one of my thesis, composed of three chapters, therefore provides this backcloth. I use it to introduce the location of the study, to present a brief history and discussion of the development of domiciliary services for the elderly in Britain, and 10 describe the philosophy and policy shaping domiciliary provision within Salford Social Services Department. As I shall show, current Government economic policy is inextricably woven into the fabric of this backcloth. In Part Two, I detail the findings of my fieldwork, painting a picture of the lives of the frail and impaired elderly people using domiciliary care, and of the work of the home helps providing that care. As far as possible, I have used the interviewees' own words to explain perceptions of (in)dependence and need, of stiqma and taboo, of material and ideological motivations, and of emotional involvements and commitments. A number of writers have argued that dependency - a concept at the centre of inquiries into the care of the elderly - is a socially constructed relationship, both with respect to elderly users and female providers of care. In Part Three, I question whether and in what way the evidence supports or denies this claim. I ask what are the implications of my findings for social policy. I also justify the use of anthropological perspectives in policy-related research. Finally, I present an account of my experience as a researcher which can be approached from a number of different levels., At a'basic level, it represents an immediate account of doing fieldwork. It is also my account, as a post-graduate, of the experience of writing-up a thesis. I consider the effect of the passing of time on context and consciousness and hci this feeds into the analysis and presentation, of work. And I attempt to address concerns with the writer/reader/subject relationship which pose questions to do with communication.

In response to the projected increases in the proportion of older Australians up to and including the year 2015, housing has been identified as significant for social planners, researchers and government. Various options
and responses are being developed including retirement villages, hostels, nursing homes, private pensioner units and manufactured or relocatable homes. To ensure that these options are an appropriate response to the future housing needs of older people, it is important to have an
understanding of the reasons older people seek alternative housing and the implications for the individual of the move. Whilst there is a growing amount of literature on the implications of moving to a retirement village, there is a
dearth of literature that identifies the implications for older people of moving to a relocatable home park.
This study sought to address the lack of knowledge and research in this area by focussing on identifying the reasons older people move to a relocatable home park and whether there are any particular health and financial implications that result from the move. The results of the study will provide important data with which to inform the planning and development of older people's housing choices.
In order to explore the implications of moving to a relocatable home park, the study consisted of two phases. Phase one adopted a quantitative methodology, distributing 200 surveys to residents throughout South East Queensland. Data collected from this phase of the study were analysed using statistical testing. Phase two adopted a qualitative methodology, conducting seven indepth interviews with residents of a number of relocatable parks within the same area. Five major themes were identified from the data and these were (1) maintenance, (2) health and well- being (3) peer support and social networks, ( 4) personal safety and security (5) financial considerations. The findings of the study identified that the reasons older people move
to relocatable homes were similar to the reasons older people move to a retirement village. The findings also indicated that where there may have been negative implications for the health and well being of the older residents of relocatable parks, these were negated by the individual's enhanced feelings of personal safety and security and the positive effect of peer support and
social networks. These enhanced feelings of well being resulted in residents reporting a high level of satisfaction with their decision to move to a relocatable home park. The participants believed and this concurred with the literature that a high level of satisfaction with the move to a relocatable home was in part due to the individual's capacity to make well informed decisions
and their capacity to be flexible and adaptable.
This study has thus provided evidence that this particular housing choice may be an appropriate option for many older people. In order to ensure that the decision is appropriate older people should be provided with sufficient relevant information with which to make the decision.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
‘Home’ is widely used to describe a positive experience of a dwelling place (shelter). It is about a positive emotional connection to a dwelling place, feeling at ‘home’ in a dwelling place, where both physiological and psychological needs can be fulfilled. This portrayal of ‘home’, however, is not always how a dwelling place is experienced. A dwelling place can be a negative environment, i.e. ‘not-home’, or there may be no emotional attachment or investment in a dwelling place at all. Both circumstances receive little attention in the literature. This research explores the realities of ‘home’ by delving into the ‘home’ lives of seventeen individuals who had experienced a range of different housing situations, including recent homelessness, moving to a (resettlement) sole tenancy and then moving on from that tenancy. Participants were asked to recall their housing histories, from their first housing memory as a child up to the time of interviewing. For each housing episode, they were asked to describe the circumstances of their life at the time, for example relationships, employment and education. They were also asked to reflect on their housing experiences. Similarities and differences of experience are explored according to gender and type of housing situation. This research tells the story of lives characterised by housing and social instability, often triggered by a significant change in social context in childhood. As such, the fulfilment of both physiological and psychological needs was often constrained, and experiences of a dwelling place were more likely to be negative rather than positive, although ‘home’ could be found in the most challenging of circumstances, and often in the most unlikely of places. The participants’ constructions of ‘home’ and ‘not-home’ were largely focused on a singular feature, unlike the broader social constructions of ‘home’. ‘Not-home’ was characterised by physical insecurity, whereas ‘home’ was characterised by emotional security, with many characteristics mirroring human needs, of which ‘positive relationships’ was the most common feature. Many participants, however, had limited experience of, and/or struggled to forge and maintain, ‘positive relationships’, they lacked ‘social capital’, which meant having to navigate through a life of instability pretty much alone. As such, this research proposes a new narrative of ‘relationship poverty’, in which a lack of ‘positive relationships’ hinders the fulfilment of needs, and therefore the possibility of feeling at ‘home’ in any dwelling place.

Background: The population is ageing and recent years have revealed substantial increases in expenditure and demand for home care services. However, provision of home care is fraught with quality issues such as high staff turnover rates, inadequate staff training, a lack of coordinator support and reduced continuity of care. Consequently, ensuring the sustainability of home care services remains a critical area of concern. Objective: To evaluate the impact of a restorative home care service, for older people with varying levels of need, in relation to improving quality and sustainability. Design: Randomised controlled trial with cluster randomisation. Older people and their support workers were identified via a home care agency and cluster randomised to receive either the restorative home care service (intervention=93) or usual home care (control=93). Intervention: The restorative home care service involved goal facilitation, repetitive activity of daily living exercises, and an in-depth initial assessment for older people; experiential training for support workers; care management role and enhanced skill and competency level for the coordinator. Participants: Older people (65+ years), living in their own homes, who received assistance from a home care agency in South Auckland, New Zealand. Methods: Face-to-face interviews were conducted with older people at baseline, four and seven months. The primary outcome was change in health related quality of life measured by the Short Form 36 Health Survey. Other scale measurements were utilised to assess physical, mental and social wellbeing. Informal carer stress was assessed with the Carer Reaction Assessment. Focus groups were held with support workers at baseline and 14 months to ascertain their opinions. Coordinator perceptions were established via one-on-one interviews at 14 months. A basic comparison of costs for the two groups was undertaken. Results: Compared with usual care, restorative home care demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in health related quality of life over time for older people (P=0.05). There were no changes in other scale measurements for older people in both groups over time. Support worker turnover was 42.5 and 17.9 percent for the control and intervention group, respectively, and job satisfaction improved within the intervention group in comparison to the control group. Value adding costs increased, while, non-value adding costs were reduced. Key aspects of the intervention contributing to these findings included goal facilitation and development of personalised support plans, the coordinators enhanced input and support and the improved training for support workers. Conclusions: This study demonstrated a restorative home care service can enhance the quality of service provision to benefit both older people and support worker staff. Further amendments are addressed, such as improving support worker employment conditions and raising the eligibility criteria for home care, to ensure future sustainability.

This thesis explores the experiences of homeless young people with a particular focus on the process of making the journey out of homelessness. It consists of a literature review, a research paper and a critical appraisal. The literature review comprises a narrative approach exploring the meaning of ‘home’ in relation to the lives of homeless young people. It explores, synthesises and critically appraises a range of inter-disciplinary research to consider the physical, psychological and social dimensions to this concept. The review then considers the clinical implications of these ideas for supporting homeless young people to regain a sense of ‘home’ in their lives. The research paper explores the experiences of seven young people making the journey out of homelessness. The research, developed in collaboration with a research advisory group of young people, adopted a narrative methodology to explore participants’ stories. The findings are presented as a ‘shared story’ containing five chapters. The findings illustrate the psychological and social mediators which impact on young people’s experiences of navigating the journey out of homelessness. The contributions of these narratives are discussed in relation to guiding interventions to address the psychological wellbeing of homeless young people. Finally, the critical appraisal presents my reflections on the research journey and is divided into five chapters. The first chapter details my hopes and motivations when embarking on the research project. The second chapter reflects upon the process of how I conceptualised and planned the project, including the challenges I faced in attempting to do this this. The third chapter provides an account of my experience of undertaking the research project. Finally, the fourth chapter summarises my reflections about the future dissemination of the research and how my experiences conducting this research have impacted on my personal and professional development.

This study focuses on preschool and home cooperation in a Swedish context. Both Swedish and international reports and research emphasize this subject as an important matter for Early Childhood Education. However, several factors such as diversity in society and preschool, different people’s interpretations, and different individual and societal conditions such as resources show that it is a complex topic to approach. The aim of the thesis is to examine how preschool teachers interpret the content and the implementations based on the preschool and home section in the newest revision of the Swedish curriculum (Skolverket, 2018). There are two research questions examined. How do preschool teachers interpret the content in the parent and home section in the Swedish curriculum? How do preschool teachers interpret the implementations of the parent and home section in the Swedish curriculum? Preschool and home cooperation is examined through semi-structured interviews with preschool teachers. The theoretical framework for this thesis is curriculum theory and the collected data is interpreted through thematic analysis. The results show that the preschool teachers found the topic important for a well working practice despite it not being a prioritised matter to discuss on a regular basis. Different factors such as consensus in the work team, diversity in the parent groups build up a complex system with several factors that need to work to create good relationships and cooperation with all families. The discussion addresses how the curriculum theoretical aspects of formulation, norms and values impact the preschool teacher’s interpretation and implementations concerning preschool and home cooperation based on the preschool and home section of the curriculum.

After studying the city and the localization of the land, we decided our idea. At first we thought to make a student accommodation, but there is one so near of the land, then we changed our way of think making something less typical.Therefore, we decided to make an old people ́s home there because it is a quite and peaceful place next to city centre. The building ́s views are oriented to the Nissan river.The principal object of this project is to provide a place where old people can live with all the cares and where have the necessary personal to take care them.The building has only one floor, there are: dining room, laundry, bathrooms geriatric, gym, common toilets, staff areas, medical office, kitchen, storage area. The hall has very high roof with a big window, with view to the river, to get light in a very big area.Inside the buiding It have 8 double rooms and 6 single rooms, with bathroom included in each. Are also included geriatric bathrooms that satisface the needs of its users. There are two interior courtyard that give light to the corridor which serve to communicate all the rooms and the medical center area and gym. Also exists various free-use bathrooms and entertainment areas for the costumers.

Using a phenomenological hermeneutic methodology, this thesis describes the lived experience of people with mobility impairments in the context of their home environment. Nine individuals with mobility impairments were interviewed at length regarding their experiences in their homes. From the resulting narratives, the data were arranged under three thematic statements: Doing my thing, Being myself, and Evolving with my environment. The study highlights the interdependent nature of the person-environment-occupation relationship and reveals the potential for an enabling home design to affect all areas of human occupation (self-care, productivity and leisure). The efficient performance of self-care activities in the home emerged as being somewhat predictive of the extent to which participants were involved in the areas of productivity and leisure. This thesis offers support for the social model of disability and illuminates the need for incorporating universal design in all homes.x, 98 leaves ; 29 cm. --

Background: In the UK about 141,460 people with dementia (PWD) living at home live alone. They have high number of unmet needs (UN) and are at high risk of social isolation. In order to provide person-centred care, needs of PWD must be studied considering their own views. Finally, in order to improve well being it is important to know which factors are associated with UN. Main aim: To identify predictors of UN for PWD living at home. Hypotheses: PWD living alone will have more UN than those living with others, and PWD with a private restricted network will have more UN than those with other networks. PWD will report fewer UN than their carers and researchers. Method: 152 PWD were interviewed about their needs, cognitive status, and quality of life (QoL); and 128 informal carers were interviewed about the PWD’s needs, QoL, social networks, behavioural and psychological symptoms (BPSD), functional status, and services used. Carers were also interviewed about their own symptoms of depression, anxiety, burden, and satisfaction. Non-parametric analyses, multiple regression and path analysis were undertaken. Results: PWD living alone had more UN than those living with others particularly for psychological and social needs. PWD themselves reported fewer UN compared to their carers and researchers. Higher BPSD, low-community involvement social networks, having a younger carer and higher carer anxiety were found to be predictors of higher UN. A model of the relationship among the variables was proposed. Conclusion: The management of PWD living at home should consider: an interdisciplinary and coordinated system which includes environmental, physical, social and psychological areas; targeting people living alone as a vulnerable group; the participation of PWD in their own care management; and interventions aiming to reduce UN including the treatment of BPSD and the involvement of PWD in the community. By doing this, PWD’s quality of life will be ultimately improved.

The creation of home owning societies has been a widespread phenomena, not only in the post-socialist countries of Eastern and Central Europe, but also in Asia. The focus of this research is urban China which, following extensive housing reform, has emerged as a home owning society with rate of home ownership reaching 80 per cent in 2010, in contrast to a society previously dominated by public rental housing. For most residents in Chinese urban areas, the market has become the only available way to access home ownership. A transitional urban housing system, which demonstrates features of the dualist housing model adopted by English speaking home owning societies, has gradually been constructed in urban China underpinned by a series of borne ownership oriented housing policies. However, successful reform and sustained economic development has made Chinas developmental trajectory different from other transitional societies. Following a gradualist approach and in the context of alternative transition dynamic, this emerging Chinese home owing society offers a valuable case-study within which to develop theories of home ownership ideologies, particularly as existing research in this area is often focused on Western or developed societies. Thus, this thesis draws on the particular case of urban China, and aims to challenge and develop the concepts and theories of home ownership ideologies based on western models utilizing a social constructivist perspective and qualitative research rather than through statistical analysis. In particular, it focuses on the attitudes and experiences of young people in relation to housing and how these interact with their understanding of home ownership. Considering the increased fragmentation and differentiation which exists among homeowners as a group, as well as the significant role young people play in Chinese housing consumption this focus is particularly appropriate. Data collected from qualitative interviews in Beijing with post 80s homeowners are used to identify why and how young people strive to access home ownership in the context of substantial social change and soaring housing prices. Theoretically, this thesis uses ideology theory and develops an interactive perspective in order to overcome the drawbacks of previous structural or individual approaches. Empirically, this thesis identifies the significant issues surrounding home ownership, as well as the multiple roles it has in an ongoing and complex interaction between structural elements and agency, class structure and identities, within the context of China' s transitional urban society.

This thesis examines relationships between home, work and migration for Vietnamese people in East London. It contributes to a growing body of work within geographies of home, as well as furthering research on mobility and the city in super-diverse contexts. The study draws upon semi-structured interviews with participants who have migrated from Vietnam to East London under diverse circumstances, including individuals who arrived as refugees after the Vietnam War and other people who have migrated for work or education in recent years. The research has also involved visual methods and ethnography in participants' homes, workplaces and other urban spaces. The study situates home as a multi-scalar, material and imaginative concept, set of practices and emotions. It also highlights the translocal connections between home, work and urban dwelling in Vietnam and East London. Drawing upon participants' personal stories, I examine their journeys of migration and experiences of arrival in East London, framing the empirical material within concepts of navigation and urban learning. Alongside a recognition of the role of the city within migrant experiences of home, I argue that participants re-shape the city through their everyday mobilities and practices of dwelling. The thesis examines connections between home and work in Vietnam, drawing upon understandings of the Vietnamese home as a site of connection to other places and between living relatives, ancestors and the spirit world. I also consider relationships between home and work in East London, exploring how work may contribute to a sense of home in the city. I highlight the significance of objects, spiritual beliefs and practices in reconfiguring home across transnational space. This thesis also addresses participants' future homes and possibilities of return to Vietnam. Individual choices of mobility and settlement are situated within geopolitical dimensions of home and migration. I draw upon concepts of precarity and the geopolitics of home to argue that immigration statuses, transient work and housing are intertwined with personal experiences of home and can present a significant barrier to belonging in the city. Through its focus on individual experiences and practices of home, work and urban life among Vietnamese people in East London, this research makes a distinctive contribution to understanding home, work, migration and the city.
