Utilising the bridging technique during therapy to overcome contact–making barriers in adolescents / Louw, C.J.Louw, Christina Johanna January 2011 (has links)
This study focuses on the use of a bridging technique to overcome contact–making
barriers in adolescents. Contact is regarded as an integral part of all human
experiences, but barriers (also called contact boundary disturbances) often hinder
effective contact–making with the environment. To overcome contact boundary
disturbances, several model bridges were constructed prior to the study and these
were used as a metaphor during the intervention phase with adolescents. The goal of
the research was to determine whether a technique called “bridging” could overcome
contact boundary disturbances in adolescents in therapy. The research was
conducted from an existential–phenomenological Gestalt approach. Combined
quantitative and qualitative approaches were followed and a single system
experimental design, A–B–A–A, was applied.
A total of 14 adolescent participants between the ages of 11 and 14 were purposefully
selected from three different schools in the Gauteng Province, South Africa, as well as
their parents and teachers. Quantitative data were collected from the pre–intervention
assessment, the post–intervention assessment and a follow–up assessment where
questionnaires were completed by the researcher for each of the adolescent
participants. The follow–up assessment was done four weeks after the postassessment
in order to determine the consistency of the intervention. These
questionnaires were analysed according to the semantic differential scale, and raw
scores were plotted on line and bar graphs in order to assess the contact skills and
contact boundary disturbances in the participating adolescents.
Qualitative data were collected through semi–structured interviews with parents and
teachers and through therapeutic interventions with adolescents. The data were
analysed using the Creswell spiral and the a priori and inductive coding approaches.
Three main themes were identified which were contact boundary disturbances,
personal emotional factors and behavioural factors. Quantitative and qualitative data
results and findings were discussed in context, to the relevant literature. The findings
of the data indicated that the bridging technique can be useful in working with
adolescents in therapy to overcome contact–making barriers. / Thesis (M.A. (Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

An exploration of risk and protective variables in the bio–psychosocial field of South African adolescents with cystic fibrosis / Hugo C.J.Hugo, Carina Jacobie January 2011 (has links)
The general aim for this research was to explore and describe the risk and protective variables
in the bio–psychosocial field of adolescents with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and to describe how these
variables impact multi–dimensionally on such adolescents.
From the literature search it seemed as if interventions regarding CF focus mainly on the
medical condition. No literature could be found on the experiences of adolescents with CF. It is
clear that there is a dearth of research on adolescents with CF in general but also specifically on
the bio–psychosocial impact of this illness on adolescents in this challenging time of maturing.
The research design was a case study and focused on exploration and description of risk and
protective factors in the bio–psychosocial fields of adolescents with CF. Semi–structured
interviews were used as a data collecting method. Questions were open–ended, but focused on
the experience of adolescents having CF. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis based
on the following steps, which entailed among others transcribing data, reading, re–reading,
translation, coding, identifying and describing themes.
Facing a chronic illness and the intensive medical treatment required is a harsh reality that
influences the entire field of adolescents with CF. This research results expanded knowledge of
CF in adolescents within a Gestalt field perspective. Themes identified outline risk and
protective factors related to faith, daily routines and especially the effect of medical procedures
on time management, emotions, health and body–related aspects, frequent hospitalisation,
social support and future concerns. If the risk and protective variables in the field of adolescents
with CF is better understood from their own perspective, it is assumed that trans–disciplinary
interventions with a multi–dimensional focus will be targeted more accurately in intervention
strategies for this vulnerable group. / Thesis (M.A. (Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.
