Geskeide vroue se ervarings en persepsies van hul aanpassing in die post-egskeidingsfaseLe Roux, Memry S. (Memry Sharlene) 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (M Social Work)--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to gain understanding of the perceptions and experiences of
divorced women in the postdivorce phase, with specific reference to rural divorcees.
During intervention with divorced women the social worker ought to be informed
about the needs of divorcees, as well as be skilled to deal with the trauma of divorce.
It is therefore necessary to understand how women experience the post-divorce
process.
The Systems, Ecological, Strengths and Feminist Perspectives are used as a frame
of reference to understand the adaptation of divorced women. First, a study of
relevant literature is undertaken which presents a broad review of the process of
divorce; divorce as a mourning process, as well as the influence of divorce on the
women and children. Attention is also devoted to literature on the adaptation of
women in the post-divorce phase. Second a qualitative, phenomenological research
subject is chosen to explore the experiences and perceptions of divorced women’s
adaptation during the post divorce-phase. Factors which obstruct adaptation, as well
as factors which stimulate personal growth, came to light during the empirical
research.
Four themes unfolded from the research. The first theme relates to tension: tension
regarding finances; tension regarding health; tension arising from the overloading of
roles and tension resulting from the relationship with the ex-husband, as well as how
divorce is experienced int the rural areas. The second theme deals with spirituality:
divorce as a spiritual crisis; deepenig spirituality; spirituality in the shaping of identity
and facilitating to a large extent the mourning process. In the third theme various
sources of support are discussed, while the fourth theme focuses on the positive
side of divorce, namely personal growth.
The before mentioned themes contain the challenges divorced women experience
during the post-divorce phase. Recommendations focus on post-divorce intervention
which are aimded to relief stress, strengthen spirituality, to obtain knowledge of
supportsystems in the community, and also to stimulate the process of personal
growth. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie het ten doel om geskeide vroue se persepsies en ervarings van hul
aanpassing in die post-egskeidingsfase te verstaan, met spesifieke verwysing na die
plattelandse geskeide vrou. Tydens intervensie met geskeide vroue behoort die
maatskaplike werker vaardig en goed ingelig te wees ten opsigte van die behoeftes
wat geskeides ervaar, daarom is dit noodsaaklik om te verstaan hoe geskeide
vrouens die proses ervaar.
As praktykraamwerk is die Gesinsisteem-, Ekologiese, Sterkte- en Feministiese
Perspektief gebruik om die aanpassing van geskeide vroue te verstaan. Eerstens is
‘n literatuurstudie onderneem wat ‘n breë oorsig oor die proses van egskeiding,
egskeiding as rouproses asook die invloed van egskeiding op die vrou en kinders
bied. Aandag is ook gegee aan die aanpassing van die vrou in die postegskeidingsfase.
Tweedens is ‘n kwalitatiewe, fenomenologiese navorsingsontwerp
gekies om die ervarings en persepsies van vyf geskeide vroue uit verskillende
plattelandse dorpe se aanpassing in die post-egskeidingsfase te eksploreer. Faktore
wat die aanpassing strem, asook faktore wat persoonlike groei stimuleer, het uit die
empiriese navorsing na vore gekom.
Vier temas het uit hierdie navorsing ontspring. Die eerste tema hou verband met
spanning: Finansiële spanning, spanning oor gesondheid, spanning wat ontstaan uit
die oorbelading van rolle, spanning oor die verhouding met die gewese man, en die
plattelandse ervaring. Die tweede tema handel oor spiritualiteit: egskeiding is ‘n
spirituele krisis, dit bring spirituele verdieping, spiritualiteit help met identiteitsvorming
en fasiliteer in ‘n groot mate die rouproses. In die derde tema word verskeie
ondersteuningsbronne bespreek, terwyl die vierde tema ook die positiewe kant van
egskeiding uitlig, naamlik persoonlike groei.
Bogenoemde temas vervat die behoeftes wat geskeide vroue tydens die
aanpassingsperiode na egskeiding ervaar. Aanbevelings het gefokus op postegskeidingsintervensie
wat daarop gemik is om spanning te help verlig, spiritualiteit
te versterk, ondersteuningsnetwerke in die omgewing te ken en die proses van
persoonlike groei te stimuleer.

Women coping with divorce through social supportBoon, Christine 10 1900 (has links)
This study investigates the role of social support in women coping with divorce in mid
life. Five women were interviewed and a qualitative analysis undertaken, in order to
explore the subjective experience of social support during the period of separation and
divorce, and its effect on post-divorce adjustment. In particular, the usefulness of
formal support groups was examined. It was found that most of the women derived perceived
social support from friends and female family members, as well as from their church membership
and work environment. It appeared that social support facilitated adjustment in several
ways, but most notably in providing esteem support and emotional support which enabled personal
growth. All of the women felt that they had developed a sense of their own identity through
the process of divorce. Support groups were found to be potentially effective in providing
assistance in dealing with emotional issues such as anger and forgiveness, as well as
practical and informational support. Such groups might also provide a temporary community
where divorced women can interact with other people who are experiencing the same things, thereby
freeing them to grieve.
The study illuminated the subjective, often unique experience of separation and divorce;
this emphasises the challenge for support groups to offer support which addresses this
uniqueness. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)

Challenges of divorcees in the Reformed Churches of South Africa within the Vhembe District: towards Afro-sensed approach to pastoral care and counsellingMulovhedzi, Takalani Peter 05 1900 (has links)
PHD (African Studies) / Center for African Studies / The challenges facing divorcees when it comes to pastoral care and counselling are among the
toughest to face members of the Reformed Churches South Africa (RCSA) in the Vhembe District
today. There are many people in South Africa who are experiencing the pain of being divorced.
The RCSA in the Vhembe District are also faced with this challenge and it affects their doctrines
and their practical ministries. These challenges also affect the pastors of the RCSA.
The aim of this research is to investigate the challenges that divorcees face regarding pastoral care
and counselling in the RCSA in the Vhembe District, Limpopo, South Africa in order to develop
an approach to pastoral care and counselling to support divorcees so that they may learn to cope
with their challenges. Caring and counselling for the divorcees is the primary mission of the church.
The study utilised a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, and contextual design to obtain data
from the participants within the RCSA in the Vhembe District. A sample of 30 participants
(divorcees) from the RCSA in the Vhembe District was used. Data were collected on an individual
basis by means of unstructured interviews. The qualitative data were collected and analysed using
the six steps of open coding proposed by Tesch in an effort to understand personal experiences of
divorcees.
The research used Graham Redding’s approach to establish trustworthiness. The study adhered to
four criteria to assess the value of the findings of qualitative research, namely credibility, applicability,
consistency, and conformability. The ethical considerations were taken into account.
The findings of this study show that divorcees experience many challenges, and that Reformed
pastors are not equipped and not doing enough to address those challenges. This research helps to
enhance the quality of pastoral care and counselling to the divorcees within the RCSA in the
Vhembe District. The findings and recommendations of the study are useful in guiding all
Reformed pastors in providing pastoral care and counselling to divorcees.

Rekonstruksie van lewe na egskeidingDe Klerk, Willem Christian 30 November 2002 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans with summaries in Afrikaans and English / Despite the fact that many people in South Africa are affected by divorce, not much research is
done on divorce recovery.
This study on divorce recovery is shaped by a feminist theological perspective and a postmodem
social constructionist discourse. As qualitative research, narrative group work was embarked on
over a period of a year with five women who went through divorce. Through therapeutic letters
different themes emerged. These themes formed the focus for each chapter and are enriched by
relevant literature reflections.
In the first chapter the stark reality of divorce in South Africa, the discursive positioning,
epistemology and research methodology are discussed, and the stories of the participants are told.
Divorce is deconstructed by the participants as resistance to patriarchy and not only an interpersonal
crisis. The majority of claimants in divorce cases in South Africa are women.
The dominant oppressive biblical discourse that divorce is always sin is reconstructed. An
alternative religious discourse is co-constructed amongst the participants: that divorce under certain
circumstances is God's will for women who are caught in humiliating and oppressive marriages.
The various spheres of life that women reconstruct after divorce are discussed. These include:
• practical matters such as the legal proceedings, housing and finances
• emotional reconstruction where emotions such as fear. senses of guilt, and rage from a
feminist perspective view are discussed.
• reconstruction of social relations which includes aspects such as the relation with the former
husband, family, new male friends and children
• spiritual reconstruction which includes a feminist perspective on the Bible, sin, the will of
God, and also a divorce ritual
• the reconstruction of identity.
Finally the five participants' reconsructed stories are told. / Ten spyte daarvan dat baie mense in Suid-Afrika deur egskeiding geraak word, word daar nie veel
navorsing oor egskeidingsherstel gedoen nie.
Hierdie studie oor egkeidingsherstel word gedoen vanuit 'n feministies teologiese perspektief en 'n
sosiale konstruksieteorie diskoers. Oor 'n tydperk van 'n jaar is deur middel van kwalitatiewe
navorsing saam met vyf vroue wat deur egskeiding geraak is, groepswerk gedoen. Uit die
terapeutiese briewe wat geskryf is het verskillende temas uitgekristalliseer. Hierdie temas het die
grondslag gevorm vir elke hoofstuk wat deur 'n relevante literatuurstudie aangevul is.
In die eerste hoofstukke word die harde werklikhede van egskeiding, die diskoersposionering,
epistemologie en navorsingsmetodiek bespreek. Die verhale van die deelnemers word vertel.
Egskeiding word deur die deelnemers dekonstrueer as weerstand teen patriargie en nie net 'n
interpersoonlike krisis nie. Die meerderheid eisers in egskeidingsgedinge in Suid-Afrika is vroue.
Die onderdrukkend dominante Bybelse diskoers dat egskeiding altyd sonde is word rekonstrueer.
'n Alternatiewe godsdienstige diskoers, dat egskeiding vir vroue wat in vernederende en
onderdrukkend huwelik vasgevang is, onder sekere omstandighede die wil van God kan wees, word
saam met die deelnemers rekonstrueer.
Die verskillende lewensterreine wat vroue na egskeiding rekonstrueer, word bespreek. Dit sluit in:
• praktiese aangeleenthede soos die regsproses, behuising en finansies
• emosionele rekonstruksie wat emosies soos angs, skuldgevoelens en woede word vanuit 'n
feministiese perspektiefbespreek
• spirituele rekonstruksie wat 'n feministiese perspektief op die Bybel, sonde, die wil van God
en 'n egskeidingsritueel insluit
• die rekonstruksie van identiteit
Ten slotte word die vyf deelnemers se nuwe verhale vertel. / Practical Theology / D.Th. (Pastoral Therapy)
