Die ervaring van vroue na 'n spontane abortus18 November 2008 (has links)
M.Cur. / The story of loss, after the experience of spontaneous abortion affects the women’s being as a whole. It impacts her emotional, physical, intellectual, social and spiritual dimensions. The woman finds herself robbed of her voice by her social network. She stands isolated in her new reality of loss and bereavement. This research tells the story of the women’s loss after the experience of spontaneous abortion. The objectives of the research are to • explore and describe the women’s experience after a spontaneous abortion, and • describe guidelines for the advanced psychiatric nurse practitioner according to which he/she can provide support to women after the experience of spontaneous abortion and facilitate mental health through the mobilisation of resources. The paradigmatic perspective of this study is guided by the Theory for Health Promotion in Nursing (Rand Afrikaans University, Department of Nursing Science, 2002: 2-8). A functional approach was followed, based on Botes’s model for nursing research (Botes in Rand Afrikaans University: Department of Nursing, 2002: 9-15). A qualitative, descriptive, exploratory and contextual design was used. In-depth, semi-structured, phenomenological interviews were held with seven women who fitted the sample criteria. Consent for the research was obtained from the Rand Afrikaans University as well as informed consent from the women volunteering to participate in the research. Trustworthiness was maintained by using strategies of credibility, applicability, dependability and confirmability, as described by Lincoln and Guba (1985: 289-331). Recorded interviews were transcribed and analysed using Tesch’s data analysis techniques (in Creswell, 1994: 155-136). An independent coder was utilised in coding the data, and a consensus discussion was held between the researcher and the independent coder. A central storyline was identified and themes highlighted. A literature control was undertaken to highlight similarities and differences between this and other research. The results were described in a narrative manner, which included the content as well as the processes of the women’s emotional experiences after the experience of spontaneous abortion. The impact of the loss affected her social dimension in terms of emotional processes as well as emotional expression. Participants experienced a strong need for acknowledgment of their loss and understanding of their reality of loss and bereavement. The spontaneous abortion has an impact on the women’s physical dimension. She experiences physical discomfort. The impact also effects her spiritual dimension by influencing her relationship with herself and God. The impact also touches her social dimension by robbing her of her voice through her social network’s response to the spontaneous abortion. There is also an impact on her relationship with her partner, as men and women experience and express loss differently. In the reality of loss and bereavement, the participants identified hope givers and hope stealers. Hope givers include • a strong connection with women who experienced spontaneous abortion themselves, • strengthening their relationship with God, • time as a healing faktor, • the value of sharing their stories, • the ability to find meaning after spontaneous abortion, and • the need for emotional growth. Hope stealers include • the response from people in her social network with regard to the spontaneous abortion, • experience of loss of control, • insufficient support in their interpersonal relationships and social network, • confronting the finality of the loss, and • being confronted with pregnant women en babies. Guidelines for the advanced psychiatric nurse practitioner to provide support to women after the experience of spontaneous abortion will be described to assist them in mobilising their resources to facilitate the promotion of their mental health.

A randomized controlled trial of a family intervention in reducing secondhand smoke exposure to infants under 18-monthsYau, Pui-lam, Josephine., 游貝琳. January 2011 (has links)
Background: Secondhand smoke exposure (SHS) causes many fatal diseases to children and there is no safe level of exposure. In Hong Kong, around 41%of infants are exposed to household SHS and leading to the additional hospital admissions of the infants.
Objectives: To study the effectiveness of a theory-based family intervention delivered by the smoking cessation counselor (SCCs) which aims to reduce household SHS exposure to infants under 18-months, by helping fathers to quit smoking and motivating mothers to establish a smoke-free home .
Methods: Families with a smoking father, non-smoking mother and an infant attended the Maternal and Child Health Centres (MCHCs) were invited to join this randomized controlled trial. The family (mother and father) was randomized after the completion of mother’s baseline questionnaire and the collection of saliva samples from mothers and infants. Father was then contacted for telephone baseline interview. Individual interventions were provided to both mothers and fathers at baseline, 1-week and 1-month, and a family session involving both parents was offered to the intervention group. The control group received information on the hazards of SHS and the benefits of smoking cessation. The intervention and control groups were followed-up at 6-and 12-monthsto assess father’s smoking behavior and the execution of a complete no-smoking policy at home. Chi-squares and independent t-tests were used to assess the group differences in father’s smoking behavior and the initiation of a smoke-free home. Generalized estimating equations were used to examine the group changes of mothers’ and infants’ saliva cotinine levels from baseline to 12-month. Logistic regressions were performed to identify the predictors on father’s smoking behavior and the initiation of a smoke-free home.
Results: There were 1,158 families randomized. Significantly more fathers in the intervention groupattainedhigher7-day point prevalence quit rate at 6-(8.0% vs 4.1%, p= .007)and 12-months (13.7% vs 8.0%, p= .002)respectively, stopped smoking at home at 12-month (35.7% vs 28.8%, p= .023), higher continuous quit rates at 6-(3.3% vs 0.7%, p= .002) and 12-month (1.8% vs 0.2%, p= .006), reduction of daily cigarette consumption over 50% at 12-month (33.4% vs 23.9%, p= .006), improvement in the stage of readiness to quit smoking at 6-month (13.0% vs 8.9%, p= .04) and more quit attempts (30.9% vs 24.1%, p=.015). No group differences were found in the establishment of the smoke-free home and the changes of saliva cotinine levels of infants and mothers from baseline to follow-ups.
Discussion: This theory-based family intervention is effective in reducing household SHS exposure to infants by helping fathers to quit and stopped them to smoking at home, but it is less effective in motivating the mothers to initiate a smoke-free home.
Significance: This is the first study testing a theory-based family intervention in reducing household SHS exposure to healthy infants. The family intervention provides a new insight in using ‘family’ as a unit for the intervention to reduce household SHS exposure to healthy infants by improving fathers' household smoking behavior and helping them to quit smoking. / published_or_final_version / Nursing Studies / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy
