71	A phenomenological study of the experiences of nurses directly involved with termination of pregnancies in the Limpopo Province Lebese, Moipone Veronicah 06 1900 (has links) The South African government promulgated the Choice on Termination of pregnancy Act (CTOP Act, 92 of 1996). This was a dramatic declaration of intent unprecedented in the African continent and globally. This act changed the outlook of the practice of termination of pregnancy by ensuring that services play a critical role in the delivery of the service. This study, which is qualitative in nature, explored the experiences of Termination of Pregnancy service providers working in three designated public health institutions in the Limpopo Province. Interviews were conducted with six service providers to look at how they construct their practice of providing termination of pregnancy services. The information was analyzed and interpreted by means of a thematic analysis method. Major themes that emerged from the participants’ experiences centred on their relationship with family, colleagues, management, clients, and the community reflecting a sense of alienation and lack of adequate infrastructural support. Inadequate support has been found to greatly contribute to the loss of interest in the work around abortion. / Psychology / M. A.

72	"Dancing with change": evaluating an ecosystemic substance abuse intervention programme for youth Ashdown, Deborah Anne 31 March 2006 (has links) The "Dancing with Change" Programme (DWCP) is an ecosystemically informed substance abuse intervention programme that was developed by the participants and myself with the aim of building resilience towards substance abuse among youth. The DWCP was conducted in the school setting, with ten volunteer Grade 7 learners over a ten-week period for an hour a week. The learners' parents participated in an initial needs assessment and in a feedback session at the end of DWCP, together with the life skills teacher and headmaster who observed and contributed to the process. An independent observer, present at each session, served to increase the dependability and confirmability of the evaluation findings. The DWCP appeared to have achieved its goals as defined by the participants. The evaluation findings are presented as a guide for people working in the field of adolescent substance abuse that synthesises best practice and lessons learnt in the field. / Psychology / M.A.(Clinical Psychology) South African context programme facilitation skills lessons learnt resilience best practice adolescent drug abuse adolescent substance abuse Ecosystemic approach Intervention prevention programme evaluation school-based 362.290835 Family psychotherapy -- South Africa Drug abuse counseling -- South Afric Drug abuse -- South Africa -- Prevention Youth -- Psychology Adolescent psychotherapy -- South Africa
