Children's addiction to the drug "nyaope" in Soshanguve township: parents' experiences and support needsMasombuka, Jan 06 1900 (has links)
Substance abuse amongst children is a major problem in South Africa and world-wide. The trend of new drugs entering the drug market has increased in South Africa. Currently in South Africa, there is a new drug on the market known as “nyaope” being abused mostly by adolescents in the Townships. The negative consequences of substance abuse affect not only individuals who abuse substances but also their parents and significant others. The researcher observed that most literature in the field of substance abuse focuses on the children addressing issues such as causes, effects, psychological impact and others. Very little is documented on parents‟ experiences and coping capabilities as well as the support they need or receive. This further contributed to the researcher‟s purpose of conduct this study to explore parents‟ experience and support needs with regard to their children‟s addiction to nyaope. / MA (Social Work)

Tienermeisies se betrokkenheid by dwelmmisbruik : 'n gender perspektiefRhode, Jolene 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEdPsych (Educational Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Kaapse Vlakte, die konteks vir die studie, word onder andere gekenmerk deur sy lae
sosio-ekonomiese status, hoë werkloosheid, bende-aktiwiteite, gesinsgeweld, gebroke
gesinstrukture en dwelmafhanklikheid. Tienerdogters wat in gemeenskappe op die Kaapse
Vlakte opgroei, word daagliks aan hierdie hindernisse blootgestel, wat hulle meer vatbaar
maak vir die misbruik van dwelmmiddels.
Die doel van die studie was om tienermeisies in ’n benadeelde gemeenskap wat
dwelmmiddels gebruik, se perspektiewe met betrekking tot dwelmmisbruik te ondersoek. Die
studie het ’n genderperspektief aangeneem, met ander woorde dit het vroue as subjekte
sentraal geplaas en hulle probleem met dwelmmisbruik ondersoek. Min navorsing oor
dwelmmisbruik fokus op vroue, ten spyte van ’n veronderstelling dat misbruik onder vroue
ernstige gevolge vir die samelewing inhou. Aangesien ek gepoog het om hierdie
tienermeisies se behoeftes aan ondersteuning en moontlike maniere waarop hierdie
behoeftes aangespreek kan word, te verstaan en te beskryf, het ek van ’n kwalitatiewe
navorsingsontwerp gebruik gemaak en die studie vanuit ’n interprevistiese paradigma
benader. Data is met behulp van onderhoude, persoonlike refleksies en observasies bekom.
Die navorsingsbevindinge het getoon dat die tienerdogters se huislike omstandighede deur
enkelouerskap en afwesige vaderskap vererger word, dat daar ’n gebrek aan kommunikasie
tuis is en dat hulle behoeftes aan liefde en emosionele sekuriteit uitspreek. Die tienerdogters
voer aan dat hulle dwelms gebruik om van hul probleme tuis te ontvlug. In hierdie studie oor
tienerdogters se redes vir en perspektiewe ten opsigte van dwelmmisbruik, toon data dat
hulle duidelike behoeftes aan ondersteuning het - tuis sowel as in die samelewing waarin
hulle leef. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Cape Flats is characterized by low socio-economic status, high unemployment, gang
activities, crime, domestic violence, broken family structures and drug dependency. As a
teenage girl, living in communities on the Cape Flats, there is often the possibility of being
vulnerable to the misuse of drugs.
The aim of this study was to investigate the perceptions of teenage girls using drugs in a
disadvantaged community. The study adopted a gendered perspective that places women as
subjects central to the problem of drug abuse. Little research focuses on women using drugs
despite the consequences it poses for society. The study attempts to understand and
describe teenage girls’ need for support as well as ways in which their needs can be
addressed. A qualitative interpretivist research design was used to gain insight into and
understanding of the participants’ perspectives. The data were collected by means of
interviews, reflective diaries and observations.
The research findings indicate that single parenting and absent fathers worsen the teenage
girls’ home circumstances, that there is a lack of communication at home and that they
express a need for love and emotional security. Furthermore, teenage girls use drugs to
escape from the problems they face at home. The results suggest a need for adequate and
appropriate support in the home environment as well as in society.

An exploratory study of aspects on environmental conditions associated with alcohol and drug abuse and criminal behaviour.Matthews, Brenda Marian Frederica January 2004 (has links)
Universally it has been reported that the fundamental change in or breakdown of traditional patterns of family living is a major cause of juvenile crime around the world. Researchers argue althought sequential violence may originate from certain important social and historical conditions - substance abuse primarily fules the cycle of violence. The major causes of delinquency in various countries are related to each nation's economic and social environment. The present study took place in the Correctional Services of the Boland Overberg region. The study aimed to examine the impact of risk factors (environmental conditions) and it's contribution to substance abuse and to determine how these risk factors and the prevalance of substance abuse contributes to criminality.
