Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur begreppet skyddsfaktorer hos barn och ungdomar synliggörs och hur kunskap om ämnet tillämpas i tre svenska skolbaserade preventionsprogram: Social och Emotionell Träning (SET), Örebro Preventionsprogram (ÖPP) och Community Parent Education Program (COPE). Tidigare forskning om barn och ungdomars skyddsfaktorer talar för att ett främjande av dessa faktorer kan hjälpa barn och ungdomar undvika att utveckla ett normbrytande beteende. Den här studien har inriktat sig på skolbaserade preventionsprogram då skolan är den sociala arena där barn och ungdomar spenderar majoriteten av sin vakna tid. Studiens frågeställningar är som följer: - Hur synliggörs begreppet skyddsfaktorer i programbeskrivningarna för de tre utvalda skolbaserade preventionsprogrammen? - Hur tillämpas den kunskap som finns om skyddsfaktorer i det praktiska arbetet med preventionsprogrammen enligt hur det beskrivs i programbeskrivningarna? - Finns det några likheter eller skillnader mellan programmen med avseende på deras tillämpning av kunskaper om skyddsfaktorers betydelse? En innehållsanalys av preventionsprogrammens egna material har genomförts utifrån två utvalda teman: preventionsprogrammens utformning och bakgrund samt skyddsfaktorer – hur begreppet synliggörs och hur kunskaper används. Resultaten har därefter kopplats till tidigare forskning om barn och ungdomars skyddsfaktorer. Antonovskys teorier om det salutogena perspektivet och KASAM (Känsla Av SAMmanhang) samt systemteori och Bronfenbrenners utvecklingsekologiska modell har utgjort studiens teoretiska referensramar. Genom analys av resultatet har det framkommit att de olika preventionsprogrammen skiljer sig åt i sin utformning. Dels huruvida de är ett universellt eller selektivt preventionsprogram och dels huruvida de fokuserar på barnens och ungdomarnas individuella skyddsfaktorer eller skyddsfaktorer i familjen. Endast ett av preventionsprogrammen tog uttryckligen upp skyddsfaktorer hos barn och ungdomar i sitt material och kopplade denna kunskap till programmets utformning samt genomförande. I materialet som tillhör de andra två preventionsprogrammen blev begreppet och kunskapen inte lika tydlig, men ämnet blev ändå synligt på mer implicita sätt. / This bachelor thesis aims to explore how the concept of protective factors among children and youths are made visible and how knowledge on the subject is implemented in three Swedish school-based prevention programs: Social och Emotionell Träning (SET), Örebro Preventionsprogram (ÖPP) and Community Parent Education Program (COPE). Existing research on protective factors among children and youths suggests that a promoting of these factors within the lives of vulnerable children and youths can help them resist a development of an antisocial behavior. This bachelor thesis will be looking at school-based preventions programs because school is the social arena where most kids spend a majority of their time spent outside of their home. The study aims to answer the following questions: - How is the concept of protective factors made visible in the program descriptions of the three school-based prevention programs? - How is knowledge on the subject of protective factors implemented in the practice of the prevention programs according to how it is described in the program descriptions? - Are there any similarities or differences between the programs in regard to their implementation of knowledge on the subject of protective factors and their importance? A content analysis was performed on the literature of the three prevention programs on the basis of two chosen themes: the prevention programs design and background as well as protective factors – how the concept is made visible and how knowledge is implemented. The results have then been connected to existing research on protective factors among children and youths. The theoretical framework of the study consists of Antonovsky’s theory on the salutogenic model and SOC (Sense of Coherence) as well as systems theory and Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological model. When analyzing the material it was found that the three prevention programs were different in their design. Partly whether they are universal or selective preventions, and partly whether they have chosen to aim their focus at the children and youths individual protective factors or on their parental protective factors. Only one of the prevention programs explicitly mentioned protective factors in its material and implemented the knowledge on the subject in the programs design and execution. In the material belonging to the other two prevention programs the concept of protective factors and knowledge on the subject was not as apparent, but the subject was still visible in more implicit ways.

A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Medicine, Johannesburg , 2013 / South Africa’s Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) programme is critical for eliminating vertical HIV transmission and reducing infant mortality. Early treatment of HIV-infection to curb infant deaths requires earlier diagnostic testing than the currently recommended six-week test. This study describes the continuum of PMTCT care at a Johannesburg hospital to identify interventions for improvement and investigates birth HIV testing for infants. Data from a cohort study at the hospital evaluating diagnostic assays in HIV-exposed infants were collated with routine clinical data, validated and analysed. Among 838 mother-infant pairs, 38% of mothers attended antenatal clinics early enough to receive optimal antenatal prophylaxis. Only 72% of infants accessed six-week testing at the hospital; a further 10% underwent testing elsewhere. Of 38 HIV-infected infants, 29 were infected in-utero and could have been identified at birth (sensitivity of 76.3% for birth testing), compared to only 26 (68%) diagnosed by six-week testing at the hospital. Majority (88%) of these 26 infants accessed antiretroviral therapy, but treatment was only initiated at a median age of 16.0 weeks and 43% of HIV-infected infants who initiated treatment had defaulted or died before the end of the study. Mathematical modelling demonstrated that birth testing would be superior to a six-week test to maximise infants diagnosed and life years saved, with the ideal algorithm being a birth and ten-week test. The PMTCT programme can be enhanced by earlier antenatal care for women and earlier infant diagnosis. Birth testing would diagnose HIV-infection before infants die or default from the PMTCT programme, thereby enabling effective monitoring of MTCT, and would allow earlier treatment initiation to reduce early infant mortality.

Many nurses are physically and verbally abused by the patients under their care, with those providing care to patients dealing with mental illness or addition being at particular risk. Leadership of the project site, an urban mental health treatment center, identified a need to provide additional education to improve their nursing staff's ability to work with combative patients and prevent escalation of violent behaviors. Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory and adaptation to the environment guided the development of this project to answer the question if an education program for nurses working with potentially combative patients will increase their knowledge of strategies to prevent escalation of violent behavior. The education program was developed using results from an extensive literature review and input from a team of local subject experts, who provided evaluation regarding their satisfaction with the planning process through the completion of an anonymous, 10 questions, Likert-type survey. All team members scored each question with a (5) strongly agree or (4) agree. Project deliverables handed over to the facility included the developed education program, an associated handout, a plan for later implementation, and plans for outcome evaluation through evaluation of learning. This project has the potential to achieve positive social change through less violent encounters between nurses and patients, contributing to an increased culture of safety.

The graduation thesis deal with a problems and prevention of socialy-patological phenomenons, which occures at basic schools. The theoretic part is based on general characteristic of several problems threatening the youth, there is also a system of prevention at basic school and a role of the teacher in these programs. In the finish of the work there is a setting for prevention, which the school receives from the governing body. The important part of the graduation thesis is an analysis of minimal preventive programs of several basic schools and there is also a research at these schools, which is focused on fifth-year class pupils. The sense of this research is in findings of amount of information pupils have got about socialy-pathological phenomenons and experiences with them.

The thesis deals with the prevention of dependencies for pupils with hearing disabilities. The work describes the specifics of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention and focuses on the State of awareness and of preventive measures on the individual schools for the hearing impaired in Prague. The work is divided into two parts. The theoretical part, which is processed primarily on the basis of the study of literature, contains a general treatise on the auditory disability, a description of the different kinds of dependencies with their consequences and an overview of the possible types of prevention. The practical part is devoted to research through interviews and a questionnaire, which is focused on finding, comparing and quantitative evaluation of the awareness of pupils of various dependencies and their prevention in schools for the hearing impaired in Prague. In the final part of the thesis are given recommendations applicable in practice. KEYWORDS Hearing disability, addiction, primary prevention, secondary prevention, tertiary prevention

School prevention methodist plays a key role in the successful elimination of risky behavior in the school environment. His function has undergone changes since its establishment, as has the context of its operation. This thesis is focused on the process of generating the position of a prevention methodist and the changes that have affected his current position. It also outlines current issues related to the performance of the function of school preventionist. The theoretical part presents the current legislative framework in which the school prevention methodist operates, as well as earlier legislation, and draws attention to the possible pitfalls of some legal norms. It also places the person of the ŠMP in the intra-ministerial system of school prevention and more broadly in the inter-ministerial organization of prevention. For a better understanding of the current situation, the theoretical part of the work opens a look into the history of prevention in the Czech Republic, or ČSFR, respectively. It characterizes the basic concepts associated with the person of the school prevention methodist, ie primary prevention, risk behavior, etc. The essential part is devoted to a broader understanding of the role of school prevention methodist through a look at the development of his function and the...

Vad försöker man göra inom ungdomsinriktad drogprevention och vad uppfattas som viktigt? Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vad som händer inom preventionsarbete i Thailand. Analys med grounded theory av intervjuer med 27 personer, främst thailändare, med praktisk erfarenhet av drogpreventiv verksamhet. Motkrafter till missbruk i Thailand genomsyras av en moraliskt betingad grundhållning med en i grunden autonom människosyn. Genom sociala och pedagogiska nätverk, positiva alternativ, utveckling, relevanta budskap och kritiskt tänkande arbetar man med målgruppen för de preventiva insatserna som en autonom och aktiv part. Arbetet kräver en problemanalys och stödinsatser ges baserade på tillit. Likaså vill preventionsarbetarna bli betraktade med tillit av exempelvis överordnade instanser. Skillnader finns mellan hållningen på basnivå och centralt deklarerade "krig mot narkotikan". Målgruppen för drogpreventiva insatser bör betraktas som en aktiv part att samverka med för att uppnå hållbara resultat.
