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/.

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

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.

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.

Wu, Ho Yee. "The process of reality negotiations in finding hope for people who have encountered depression: a collaborative narrative research". HKBU Institutional Repository, 2017. https://repository.hkbu.edu.hk/etd_oa/395.
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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Few students of History understand the derivation and/or origin of the Gqunukhwebe oath "Ndifung' uChungw' efel' ennyameni: I swear by Chungwa who is lying dead at Mnyameni (Alexandria)." A desire to eludicate this point and other related facts inspired me to undertake a close examination of the history of the Gqunukhwebe people, selecting as my main theme the life-work of Chief Kama. In the first chapter I am discussing the creation of the Gqunukhwebe Chiefdom under Khwane by the Xhosa King, Tshiwo. The central theme here is the Black-White confrontation of the 17th - 18th centuries on the Cape Eastern Frontier. As a result of the collision the Gqunukhwebe people were forced to make a home on the banks of the Thwecu River along the east coast. It was here that Kama reached early manhood. The second chapter describes the establishment of Wesleyville Missionary Station by William Shaw in 1823, the first Methodist Missionary Institution in all Xhosaland. In chapter three the discussion centers on the significance of Kama's conversion. An unforeseen outcome of his public profession of the Christian faith was that it not only stigmatized the latter religion as a force destructive of the old order in Xhosa society, but it also reshaped Kama's political image for the good of his religious life. He not only fled from the neighbourhood of his relations and sojourned in a strange land, but also reinforced the Colonial forces in the contemporary frontier struggles. His integrity, self-sacrifice and pro-Colonial inclination eventually won him Middledrift. Chapter four opens with Kama's settling in Middledrift. The theme here is two-pronged. It presents the 'Cattle-Killing' delusion as a source of new trials for the 'priest-chief', and at the same time exposes the Colonial Government's efforts to gain ascendancy above the Xhosa chiefs. Kama's land was the first testing ground in this respect, and the Chief was initially agreeable to the scheme. Chapter five alludes to instances of Chief Kama's unco-operative attitude as signs that his compromising spirit had its limits. An atmosphere of disregard towards Kama pervades the period. But the adversities that threatened to dominate his later life did not by any means shake his Christian principles and convictions. The traces of his good works may to this day be seen in Middledrift, the traditional home of the Kamas.

D.Ed. (Educational Psychology)Hope builds resiliency and, therefore, as a protective phenomenon has particular relevance to orphans and vulnerable young people who face adversity on a daily basis. The HIV/AIDS pandemic is adding more strain to the already overburdened safety nets of families and communities in South Africa, where the emergence of child-headed households and the rising numbers of vulnerable young people calls for a more comprehensive response to address their needs and to protect their rights. Many are traumatised - suffering abuse or trying to cope with poverty and the pressures of daily living. Hope is unlikely to emerge and be sustained in young people left to fend for themselves. The purpose of this inquiry is to explore the processes of constructing hope in the lived experiences of young people from child-headed households to invite others to join the spaces of conversation in building support for orphans and vulnerable young people - domains that support a discourse of hope. A social constructionist inquiry with a grounded theory research design involving four young people representing the child-headed household was conducted at a secondary school in Soweto in partnership with a non-governmental organisation. Guided by narrative and participatory practices, the data collection process extended over nine months with the participants using the metaphor of a journey. The journey provided an opportunity to work in healing ways as a researcher to thicken stories of hope in their lives, at the same time providing rich data for analysis. The narrative approach seeks to ‘re-author’ problemsaturated stories - stories which are filled with the challenges of orphanhood, abuse, abandonment, poverty and neglect. Methods used included individual and group conversations, expressive art exercises and photo voice to capture their hopeful stories. The co-constructed hopeful stories were then used as data for analysis using a constructionist approach to grounded theory. This in turn helped to develop a conceptual framework to understand the processes of nurturing hope in the lives of orphans and vulnerable young people - based on their own voices. By identifying what helps young people to nurture hope in their lives, support structures that provide opportunities for growth rather than merely helping them to cope, invite us to challenge more conventional understandings of support for vulnerable young people. The v story of our journey provides a broader understanding of the processes of nurturing hope in the context of vulnerable young people. Findings offer an alternative view of hope from generally accepted Western understandings that are essentially individualistic. A 4-D understanding of hope is presented which recognises the importance of hope as a practice and the role of possibilities in empowering young people to transcend adversity in seeking a better future. Recommendations advocate raising standards in the support of vulnerable young people from a preoccupation with ‘coping’ strategies to an awareness of ‘hoping’ schemata – a repositioning that seeks to protect young people; to strengthen them to cope with adversity; to support them to meet their needs and protect their rights; and to find opportunities to transcend their adversities and realise their future aspirations.

O. Henry's New York stories are the key to his success in his writing career. With the ironical narration and satiric tone, they achieve the purposes of both entertainment and literature. This thesis thus focuses on how he achieves the purposes thematically and structurally. After my research on O. Henry, I have found that he cares about the little people in the city but with different themes for men and women characters. Several themes, which concern the people in the materialistic city the most, are explored according to the female and the male characters in this thesis. In my observation of his New York stories, the female characters are a weak group in the city. When they come to the city, they lose the family and identity and are given little chance for enough money to maintain a stable life. According to O. Henry, the process of their being able to get by is by pursuing a rich lover that will lead them to a marriage of stability and boredom. For the male characters, O. Henry deals with the aspects of morality and assimilation. In the city people are prone to corruption, so he challenges the definition of morality by comparing the philanthropists and the con men. He defends the con men for their crimes and attacks the hypocrisy of the charity of the philanthropists. The other problem O. Henry also considers important in the city is assimilation, the urban goal which is difficult to reach for money-oriented people from different cultural backgrounds. According to my research, O. Henry is pessimistic about the success of assimilation. Ironically, the assimilation is blocked by the very desire for money. To make these themes more effective, O. Henry uses the structure of the surprise ending and the dramatic narration of his stories to create an impact on the readers. But I have found that the surprise of his famous skill of "surprise endings" functions structurally and can be foretold through close attention to his characters' motivations.

This study explores expressions of hope and aspiration among young people receiving rehabilitation services in Kampala, Uganda. The study objectives were (i) to examine expressions of hope and aspiration among young people receiving rehabilitation services (ii) to document the social determinants of hope and aspiration among young people receiving rehabilitation services and (iii) to assess barriers to the realization of hope and aspiration among young people receiving rehabilitation services. The study was carried out in Masooli Rehabilitation Centre of Ugandan Youth Development Link (UYDEL). UYDEL is a non- profit making organization (NGO) that was founded by a group of social welfare
professionals in 1993. UYDEL currently runs four main programs concerning (i) child rights protection (child sexual abuse, child trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation, and child
labour), (ii) HIV prevention among high risk groups of children and youth, (iii) alcohol and
substance abuse, and (iv) adolescent sexual and reproductive health. In addition to the four major programs, UYDEL provides rehabilitation and livelihood skills training to young people and also conducts social research. This study took place with the participants from UYDEL receiving different vocational skills training. Young people in the rehabilitation centre were receiving mainly vocational trainings and learning different skills such as hair dressing, catering, construction, plumping, electronics and mechanics. Qualitative research methods and procedures such as purposive sampling of participants, in-depth interviews with the participants, and verbatim transcription of the collected data were used during the study. In-depth interviews were, for example, conducted with the young people receiving rehabilitation services in order to explore expressions of hope and aspiration. In-depth interviews were also conducted with the key informants (social workers of the centre). Data were analysed using the method of thematic analysis. Participants were chosen between the survivors of child trafficking and former street children. The study findings indicate that young people receiving rehabilitation services expressed hope and aspiration towards a better future in various ways which were (i) seeking ownership of highly valued possessions, (ii) exhibiting positive conduct and (iii) belief in supernatural interventions. The social determinants of the expressed hope and aspiration among young people receiving rehabilitation services were (i) receiving rehabilitation services, (ii) the availability of employment opportunities, and (iii) the provision of guidance and emotional support. Young people receiving rehabilitation services also experienced various barriers, which undermined realisation of their hope and aspiration. The major barriers according to the participants were
(i) financial obstacles (ii) the risk for secondary abuse, and (iii) the familial challenges and resettlement. The study findings suggest various implications, for instance, for the Masooli Rehabilitation Centre, the Government of Uganda, and research. For example, finding ways for how to guide children to the education system who would like to continue their education is one of the implications for young people in the rehabilitation centre. This challenge can also be solved by developing more NGO links with education related NGOs in Kampala and finding donors for supporting young people’s education. Also, more links can be developed by the Masooli Rehabilitation Centre with different kinds of companies in order to provide more resources for the discharged young people.

Abstract When patients with long-term psychiatric disability are discharged, they often experience challenges of returning home or adapting to society. Therefore they require temporary residential facilities. In Taiwan there are far more studies investigating employment issues of people with psychiatric disability, and less studies investigating their residential issues. Thus this study focused on the residential issues of people with psychiatric disabilities and examined the experience and development of community living assistance programs in Taiwan through the perspectives of patients and service providers. The study aimed to delineate the community residence for people with psychiatric disabilities and ultimately attracted greater public attention and awareness to this problem in Taiwan. The research objectives are as follows: 1.Understand the subjective experiences and perceptions of people with psychiatric disabilities participating the community living assistance program; 2. Investigate the staff’s difficulties and thoughts about managing and operating community living assistance program. In terms of research method, a qualitative research method was used in this study. The researcher entered a community residence operated by a social welfare organization in southern Taiwan and every week regularly participated in and observed the residents’ daily life over a half year. Data was collected through observation and interviews with one social worker, one caregiver, and five residents with psychiatric disability. To present the research results, first this study introduces the reseidental environment and five residents who lived at that time. Then, following the chronological order several events which are reported to describe in detail the real lives of five residents with psychiatric disability in the residence include: 09/10 The first day to live with my roommate－honeymoon; 09/12 a tour to the male residence; 09/17 Shooting videos of residencial living; 10/08 Tissue is missing; 10/10 Annoying noise in the midnight; 10/15 The world of disabled people;10/16 Who should take out the garbage? Taya got angry.Who is the perpetrator? 10/17 A fraud on Line or a joke? The friendship is broken; 10/30 Clean-up inspection in the residence; 11/02 Footprints in the bathroom? Conflicts between residents; 11/21 Someone ate out the fish; 11/24 Chia-Chia is ill; 12/10 Charge for the mullet rice-flour noodles; 12/18 The war in the clothes drying yard; 12/24 The missing bear;01/16 The new resident-Pei Pei.Next, the study explored residents’ interaction and norms of daily living in the residence in the following five dimensions: the interaction between students (residents) and teachers (staff), the interaction between residents, residents’ relationship with their families, social adaptation, residents’ rights. Finally, the study proposed staff’s operating difficulties and management thoughts about the community living program, as well as the researcher’s personal thoughts and reflection. According to the research results, this study proposed three issues for discussion: 1. The images and actual conditions of the independent living of people with psychiatric disability; 2. The operating challenges of independent living assistance programs; 3. Methods for addressing uniqueness and individual needs. Three recommendations were proposed based on the research findings: 1. A supervision system should be implemented to improve services; 2. The rent subsidy for the living assistance program should be adjusted to an adequate level; 3. Those involving in the assistance program should reflect on the current system. Keywords: People with psychiatric disability; Independent living; Community residence

Working in a township is a challenging but also rewarding way of living. In this dissertation the researcher, in collaboration with the co-searchers, explore ways to mentor one another as they learn how to deal with trauma, either by experiencing trauma directly or witnessing secondary trauma. This leads to new ways of being 'in the moment', coping with trauma, forming a community of care and learning to be in an aware and empowered position. The responsibility of practical theology and the commitment to pastoral care are explored in the context of theology, and spesifically feminist theology, contributing to 'do hope' in Mamelodi.Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Research on the experiences of people from refugee backgrounds in Western nations has been dominated by inquiries into social exclusion and problematic encounters across difference. As a body of work, it tends to document despair and provides little evidence of ‘the hope residing in cities’ (R Fincher & Iveson, 2012, p. 240). Yet, many people from refugee backgrounds are welcomed by people taking individual or collective steps to foster social inclusion. The overall aim of this research is to bring a more hopeful disposition to research on people from refugee backgrounds by employing literatures on care, spaces of care and encounter to examine caring people and organisations. This thesis explores caring relationships, care practices, spaces of care and care-based encounters with people from refugee backgrounds in Newcastle, Australia. I draw on Conradson’s (2003c) framing of care as ‘a movement towards another person in a way that has the potential to facilitate or promote their well-being’ (Conradson, 2003, p. 508) and the principles of Tronto’s (1993) practice of the ethic of care, to offer a critical and hopeful analysis of grounded experiences of giving and receiving care initiated by organisations which support people from refugee backgrounds. I draw on the literature on encounter to explore the possibilities that arise in fleshy and fun care-full encounters with people from refugee backgrounds. In order to apprehend the messy and complex ways that care is performed, I draw on case studies of four organisations working with people from refugee backgrounds in Newcastle, NSW using a range of methods including interviews, document analysis and participant observation. In contrast to existing spaces of care and encounter research, I immerse myself in formal and informal spaces of care. In doing so I offer new insights into the importance of hanging out and spending time with people as a way of comprehending what happens in spaces of care and care-full encounters. This research examines the complexities of what it means to care within an organisational framework. The role of an organisational ethos in the performance of care is explored in Chapter 6. As other research on spaces of care has found, an organisational ethos is not simply set by mission statements; it is performed by people working within organisational spaces (P Cloke, Johnsen, & May, 2005). Unlike most care literature, this thesis draws on the experiences of both care givers and care receivers and offers insights into the inseparability of care giving and receiving. Previous research has emphasised that in many institutional care-giving contexts people from refugee backgrounds are called upon to perform a refugee identity – a subject position that enables them to access services, care and support, but that at the same time has precarious and limiting effects on their agency (P. Westoby & Ingamells, 2010). To explore the inseparability of care giving and receiving and performances from refugees beyond the refugee identity, I turn to caring practices of welcoming and teaching which have been absent from previous academic accounts of the experiences of people from refugee backgrounds in Western nations. In the organisational spaces I examine, I reveal that welcoming and teaching are not practices reserved for ‘host’ populations; rather, people from refugee backgrounds also perform care through welcoming and teaching. Drawing on literature on intersectionality, I reveal that in an appropriate organisational context the binary between refugee/non-refugee or care giver/care receiver can be transcended as people build on shared identities as mothers, friends, cooks, football players and people. In Chapter 7 I build on the existing spaces of care literature to reveal the importance of space in the performance of care. Like previous spaces of care literature, I explore formal institutionalised spaces, but I also contribute to the spaces of care literature by exploring spaces of protest in support of people from refugee backgrounds, and the ways that public parks are transformed into transitory spaces of care. The performances in these spaces extend beyond formal and professionalised interactions, and reflect a recognition on the part of people already living in Newcastle that it is not up to people from refugee backgrounds alone to adjust to difference; rather, it is also up to longer-term residents to perform more inclusive caring spaces and neighbourhoods. The chapter therefore examines how spaces of care encourage performances of belonging, home and hope across multiple scales of home, neighbourhood and nation. Finally, I explore caring with people from refugee backgrounds through the lens of encounter. My approach to care-full encounters is to move away from thinking that ‘meaningful’ encounters are only those that can be scaled up (Valentine, 2008). Rather, I place value in the embodied, fleshy and sensuous moments of encounter, and in doing so, I am able to reveal moments of joy, happiness and hope that are too often dismissed in the encounter literature. These moments are important because they are full of potential and the possibility of a different way of doing Australia in an extremely intolerant time. Care is not simple and easy. Caring relationships can be fraught with tensions and difficulties. Nonetheless, this thesis argues that exploring existing practices of care holds the possibility for understanding new ways of living together with difference and creating more inclusive cities. While previous literature has mostly focused on the ways that the presence of people from refugee backgrounds in Western nations seems to have created insecurities that undermine individuals’ capacity to care, this thesis avoids adopting an approach that is primarily attuned to exclusionary practices. Rather than giving a voice to the people who want to incense and create more hate, this thesis contributes to a more hopeful disposition by focusing on examples in which people demonstrate a readiness to stand up against intolerance through proactive performances of care. As people from refugee backgrounds continue to seek protection in the West, providing a caring narrative that counters the exclusionary attitudes towards their presence is essential for performing more caring and inclusive worlds.

This thesis explores the contribution that racial discrimination laws have made and might make to addressing race discrimination against Indigenous Australians, who still experience this problem at disproportionately high levels despite introduction over four decades ago of racial discrimination legislation in Australia. The research investigates whether this legislation has failed to make appropriate contributions to reduction of race discrimination because of problems associated with Indigenous access to justice. It demonstrates that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are using processes of dispute resolution in this area to a limited degree, relative to the extent to which they encounter race-based discrimination.
Informed by Indigenous methodologies, the research employs a mixed method design: utilising historical, qualitative and quantitative social science and legal approaches. This provides opportunity for distinctive analysis of the current limitations associated with Indigenous access to justice in the area of race discrimination. Also identified is whether Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples see value in enhancing Indigenous access to justice through race discrimination law and how this might be achieved.
The thesis presents evidence that indicates that access to justice is seen, including by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as an important right in itself and as essential to the assertion of all other rights, encompassing the right to equality or non-discrimination. It is argued, however, that to be effective the concept of access to justice must be appropriately expanded to incorporate Indigenous perspectives on 'justice' and how this might be attained. Formal equality of access to justice can lead to discriminatory outcomes, including limitations in terms of the extent to which Indigenous people are able to draw benefit from race discrimination law. The thesis also argues that Indigenous people do not see the law as providing a complete solution to the problem of race discrimination. Key non-legal strategies are identified, including those that empower Indigenous people to respond to discrimination without recourse to the law and that place responsibility for reduction of race discrimination targeting Indigenous people upon the wider community and government.
The research makes a novel contribution to analysis of the effectiveness of race discrimination law in Australia. By prioritising Indigenous historical and contemporary perspectives throughout, it presents new perspectives on race discrimination law and access to justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

One of the consequences of the ethnic hatred between Hutu and Tutsi in Burundi is that around 10% of Burundians were forced to flee to Tanzania for their safety. Three decades after the creation of Ulyankulu Settlement through the joint efforts of the Tanzanian government, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), and the Tanganyika Christian Refugee Service (TCRS) it is assumed that these refugees are fully assimilated and feel at home. However, this dissertation argues that they do not feel at home and consequently long to return to their homeland. This study is an attempt to understand the experience of refugees in Ulyankulu Settlement and the contribution of this experience towards their craving for their homeland. It also explores the role played by Anglican Church in shaping these refugees' experience. Finally the study proposes ways of improving the church's ministry among these refugees.Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology

In this research project the research participants and I embarked on a journey through the "desert" of unemployment. I was introduced to the research participants at Jacob's Well, a ministry for people "between jobs" The effects of unemployment on a male's identity were explored, as well as the pastoral response of caregivers to people "between jobs". A phenomenological study was undertaken in which interviews with the participants formed the basis of the research. The structured section of the interviews was guided by the research questions, but the largest part of the interviews was about the participants' personal journeys "between jobs." The role of a ministry like Jacob's Well, catering for people "between jobs", was highlighted and recommendations for practical theology and pastoral praxis were made.Practical Theolgy

My thesis describes a fictional concentration camp Mellern, that lies in Germany, and that made up and described E.M.Remarque. He donated this novel to his sister Elfriede, who was killed by Nazis. I wanted to show how the concentration camp looked like during the World War Two, in which parts it was divided and how it was divided. Then I describe and interpret the main characters of the novel. I occupy with the prisoners? feelings. The most important feeling is the hope. The prisoners would probably not have survived without the hope. The hope that keeps them alive and gives them courage and self-confidence to fight and not to give up.

German textGutes Altern gelingt selbst bei den zumeist günstigen äusseren Voraussetzungen in der Schweiz nicht allen Menschen. Die Frage stellt sich, unter welchen Bedingungen sowohl echtes Wohlbefinden im Alltag als auch Lebenssinn und -perspektive erreicht und erhalten werden können. Gelingt dies bekennenden Christen besser als nicht religiösen Menschen? Im Hinblick auf diese Fragestellung untersuchte die vorliegende Arbeit die bisherige gerontologische Forschung hauptsächlich in der Schweiz. Es wurde versucht, die Begriffe Wohlbefinden, Lebenssinn in Verbindung mit Religionsgerontologie anhand einzelner Exponenten zu definieren und das Zusammenspiel der Faktoren aufzuzeigen. In einer qualitativen empirischen Studie wurden gemäss der Grounded Theory zwölf Personen zwischen 50 und 80 Jahren (drittes Alter) mit zehn verschiedenen religiös/spirituellen Hintergründen mit Hilfe eines halbstrukturierten Leitfadens interviewt. Die Hauptthemen waren Wohlbefinden, Lebenssinn, Glaube/Spiritualität und Sterben/Tod. Der Zusammenhang zwischen alltäglichem Wohlbefinden und Lebenssinn bzw. -perspektive erwies sich als stark. Menschen mit einer persönlichen Gottesbeziehung schienen über mehr Ressourcen zu verfügen, nicht nur, um die eigene Endlichkeit zu akzeptieren oder schwierige Ereignisse im Leben zu meistern, sondern auch, um ihren letzten Lebenssinn in Gott zu erkennen, also ausserhalb von sich selbst. So waren sie besser befähigt, in ihrem Lebenslauf Erreichtes wieder abzugeben. Dieser Lebensstil benötigt Einübung, er kann jedoch auch gezielt gefördert werden. Aufgrund der Erkenntnisse konnten eine Reihe von Aufgaben formuliert werden, die den älteren Menschen Anweisung geben, wie sie diesen Lebensstil konkret in ihrem Alltag umsetzen könnten. Zudem scheint christliche Gemeinde ein geeigneter Rahmen darzustellen, wenn sie für das dritte Alter interdisziplinäre Lernangebote aus den Bereichen Medizin, Psychologie, Soziologie und Theologie wie auch die Möglichkeit persönlicher Seelsorge bereitstellt. Der ältere Mensch wird dadurch frei, sich generativ für andere einzusetzen und für sie da zu sein, innerhalb der christlichen Gemeinde oder auch ausserhalb als Teil der Gesellschaft. Somit wird dem neutestamentlichen Gebot der Nächstenliebe nachgekommen, Solidarität anderen gegenüber wird gelebt. Stärkeres Sinnempfinden und höheres Wohlbefinden sind geschenkte Nebenprodukte, die zu einem erfüllten Leben beitragen.
In Switzerland ageing is not necessarily unproblematic, even in the most favorable conditions. The question to answer is on what conditions in everday life a high level of wellbeing as well as meaning and perspective of life can be attained and preserved. Do professing Christians succeed better than non-religious people? The present study examined the results of current gerontological resarch in this respect, primarily in Switzerland. It attempted to define the terms of wellbeing, meaning of life in connection with religious gerontology with specific criteria and to show up the interaction of their several components. In a qualitative empirical study, according to the Grounded Theory, twelve persons between fifty and eighty years of age with ten different religious/spiritual backgrounds were interviewed with the aid of a semistructured interview guide. The main topics were wellbeing, meaning of life, faith/spirituality and dying/death. The relationship between everyday wellbeing and meaning of life and life perspective proved to be strong. People with a personal relationship with God seemed to have more resources to accept not only their own mortality or to cope with negative events in life, but to recognize their ultimate meaning of life to be in God, which is outside themselves. In consequence they were better able to let go any of their own achievements. This lifestyle requires practise and promotion. On account of the results a number of tasks were formulated to guide the older people in their daily life in practicing this lifestyle. The Christian community seems to be a suitable framework to provide interdisciplinary learning opportunities for the third age in the fields of medicine, psychology, sociology and theology as well as the opportunity of personal counseling. In this way, the never-ending process of maturation of individual elderly people should be encouraged. They are free, according to their talents, to get themselves involved with other people, to have time for them, that is within the Christian community or outside, in society. Thus, the New Testament commandment to love one another can be complied with, and solidarity with others will truly be fact. A stronger sense of meaning and a higher grade of wellbeing will be welcome by-products, which will contribute to a fulfilled life.

Afrikaans text, with Afrikaans and English summariesDespite legislation to the effect intended to ensure the position of the disabled in society, disabled persons still find themselves largely marginalized in the South African context. During this research a group of about twenty participants, of whom about one-half are disabled, were involved in an inclusive process of art-making. The aim of the research was to challenge the dominant discourse which holds that making art is only for the select, talented few. This research was undertaken according to the scientific guidelines of practical theology. Contextual theology was used as a starting point, with emphasis on the participatory- and narrative approaches. The characteristics of pastoral care created an atmosphere which was conducive to the disabled participants discovering and developing hope for a more rewarding future. The research culminated in an exhibition in a national museum, which could contribute to an additional dimension in the narrative of the disabled participants.
Ten spyte van wetgewing om die inklusiewe posisie van die gestremde in die samelewing te verseker, is gestremdes in die Suid Afrikaanse konteks nog grootliks gemarginaliseerd. Vanuit hierdie gemarginaliseerde posisie vind gestremdes dit moeilik en dikwels onmoontlik om hul unieke potensiaal te ontwikkel om sodoende 'n beter lewenskwaliteit lewe te vestig. 'n Groep van ongeveer twintig deelnemers, waarvan die helfte gestremd is, is tydens hierdie navorsing in 'n inklusiewe konteks van kunsmaak betrek. Die doel van die navorsing is om diskoerse uit te daag wat bepaal dat kunsmaak net vir unieke, talentvolle mense beskore was. Teen die agtergrond van 'n postmoderne epistemologie kon gestremdes sonder vooraf opgestelde reels en regulasies uiting gee aan hul verbeelding en sodoende waaghalsig wees in die proses van kunsmaak. Hierdie navorsing het plaasgevind volgens die wetenskaplike riglyne van praktiese teologie. Kontekstuele teologie is as 'n teologiese vertrekpunt gebruik, met die klem op die deelnemende en narratiewe benaderings. Sodoende is ruimte geskep vir die ontdekking sowel as die ontwikkeling van die potensiaal van die gestremde. Die eienskappe van pastorale sorg het 'n atmosfeer tydens die kunsmaaksessies geskep waarbinne die deelnemers in 'n veilige konteks hoop op 'n bykomstige realiteit en 'n beter toekoms kon ontdek en ontwikkel. Die navorsing het gekulmineer in 'n kunsuitstalling in 'n nasionale museum wat kan bydra tot 'n bykomstige dimensie in die verhaal en identiteit van die gestremdes.

Text in AfrikaansThis pastoral-narrative study pans the stories of multi disabled children's parents for story elements and account resources that lead to the development of alternative realities on the dominant reality of "disability". With a postmodern epistemology and postmodern theological background this study was performed with a qualitative narrative research approach. In this study the stories of eight multi "disabled children's parents are utilized. Story elements and account resources from social structures and existence are highlighted and discussed. Examples of this are family, circle of friends, hope and parental love. The account of this study underlines the value that alternative realities on the dominant reality of "disability" can add to the quality on how people experience life. It also services as prove of people's riches of inner power and resilience.
