Navigating the New Normal: Supporting Motivation in the Remote Workplace : From a Self determination TheoryLindberg, Martina, Steinmann, Mathilda January 2023 (has links)
Work motivation has been a topic of significance for a very long time, however, since there has been a recent shift towards remote work, traditional motivational theories might need to be reconsidered and applied to the new way of working. The self-determination theory (SDT) is one of many motivational theories, which says that once the three basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness are reached, individuals will experience high amounts of motivation. In order to dive deeper into the topic of motivation in remote work, the purpose of our study is therefore to explore this area of research by examining how managerial support measures could be aimed at ensuring the feeling of autonomy, competence and relatedness, and in turn manage to possibly sustain motivation among remote workers. With the aim of reaching and fulfilling the purpose of this study, in-depth interviews were conducted with five remote workers working in start-ups or SMEs within the IT sectors, or within companies with a digital focus. The data which we collected through interviews was then thematically analysed by careful coding and put into a variety of themes. Following the presentation of our findings was a meticulous analysis of the generated data, which was the base for our final conclusions drawn on the subject. From the findings, we were able to conclude that autonomy achieved high scores in remote work, and was without exceptions fulfilled for all of our interview subjects. Within competence, the most challenges were detected, however the right supporting measures, like facilitating information sharing, would be able to work against these issues. Lastly, relatedness is oftentimes severely lacking within remote work due to the implied distance, however due to conscious choices to work remotely, individuals will be aware of decreasing relatedness when they start their journey of working remotely. Nonetheless, supporting measures like organising social gatherings or workshops, can limit the lack of feeling relatedness in the remote workplace. This study can assist future researchers that are conducting studies within the growing remote work environment. Furthermore, it can help managers in the workplace to gain an updated view on motivation in remote working, and shift perspective to remotely adapted supporting measures.

Kvinnors syn på omvårdnad i samband med missfall : en litteraturöversikt / Women's view on nursing care related to miscarriage : a literature reviewOlsson, Johanna, Verovic Larsson, Victoria January 2021 (has links)
Bakgrund Missfall är en vanlig händelse och kan påverka en kvinnas liv markant. Den vanligaste definitionen av missfall är en graviditet som spontant avbryts av kroppen själv innan graviditetsvecka 22. Vid missfall kommer kvinnor i kontakt med vården och omvårdnadsansvarig vårdpersonal är sjuksköterskan. Syfte Syftet var att belysa kvinnors syn på omvårdnad i samband med missfall. Metod Metoden som valdes var en litteraturöversikt. Datainsamling genomfördes i databaserna Public Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature och Psychological Information Database. Urval och kvalitetsgranskning genomfördes vartefter 15 vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades enligt Kristenssons integrerade analys. Resultat Resultatet består av två kategorier vilka beskrivit kvinnans syn på omvårdnad vid missfall. Dessa övergripande kategorier blev ‘stöd ’och ‘kommunikation’. Avsaknaden av emotionellt stöd, uppföljning och negativt språkbruk påverkade kvinnornas syn på omvårdnaden i samband med missfall negativt. Slutsats Att genomgå ett missfall kan vara en emotionellt svårhanterad händelse för en kvinna, och kan leda till depression, ångest eller posttraumatisk stress. Kvinnors syn på och upplevelse av omvårdnaden de fick i samband med deras missfall hade en betydande roll för deras emotionella återhämtning efter förlusten. Resultatet visade på att majoriteten av kvinnorna som deltog i de olika studierna upplevde omvårdnaden som bristande, då den hade kunnat fokusera mer på personcentrerad omvårdnad. Kvinnors syn på god omvårdnad är att få emotionellt stöd genom att bli bekräftade, lyssnade till, informerade, tillfrågade om vad de behöver samt att vårdpersonal inte ska använda emotionellt laddade ord eller svår medicinsk terminologi. Kvinnor vill även få uppföljning samt att deras partners ska bli mer inkluderade. / Background Miscarriage is a common occurrence and is most commonly defined as a pregnancy that spontaneously is terminated by the body itself within 22 weeks. A miscarriage can significantly affect a woman's life. In the event of a miscarriage, women come into contact with health care and the main responsible care provider is the nurse. Aim The aim was to illustrate women’s view on nursing care in conjunction with miscarriage. Method The chosen method was a literature review. Data collection was performed through the databases Public Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and Psychological Information Database. Selection and quality review were implemented. Fifteen scientific articles were analyzed according to Kristensson's integrated analysis. Results The result consists of two categories which describe woman's view of nursing care in the event of a miscarriage. These overarching categories became 'support' and 'communication'. The lack of emotional support, follow-up and care with choice of words negatively affected the women's view of nursing care in connection with miscarriage. Conclusions Going through a miscarriage can be an emotionally difficult event for a woman, that can lead to depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress. Women's views on and experience of the care they receive by health care personnel in connection with their miscarriage has a significant role in their emotional recovery after the loss. The majority of the women who participated in the studies experienced health care as inadequate. Women's view of good care was to receive emotional support by being confirmed, listened to, informed, asked about their needs and that caregivers should not use emotionally charged words or difficult medical terminology. Women also wanted follow-up and that their partners should be more included.

The experiences of primary caregivers whose children/grandchildren were exposed to paternal incest / Melanie Fiona SaloojeeSaloojee, Melanie Fiona January 2013 (has links)
Paternal incest is the intimate sexual contact between biological, step or foster fathers and their children. These father-figures include the live-in partners of the non-offending mother. The actual incidence of paternal incest in South Africa is not known; however, the South African Police Services report the incidence of incest in the Western Cape for 2011/2012 to be the second highest in South Africa. When children reveal the incest to any person, this is called disclosure. After disclosure and with the removal of the paternal figure from the family unit, the mother or grandmother is responsible for the sole care of the child-victim and becomes the primary caregiver. However, in the South African context it is traditionally accepted that the grandmother assumes the role of primary caregiver of the child where the child’s mother and/or father are unable to fulfil their parental role adequately. Therefore in this study, “primary caregivers” refers to mothers and maternal grandmothers.
In the South African context, limited studies have been done that explore the experiences of primary caregivers whose children or grandchildren were exposed to paternal incest. There is also a lack of information on how to support these primary caregivers in the abovementioned context. The aim of this study was firstly to explore the experiences of primary caregivers whose children or grandchildren were exposed to paternal incest and secondly to use these experiences to suggest guidelines that may be utilised by practitioners (such as social workers and registered counsellors) to develop support programmes for these caregivers.
The research was conducted at a non-profit organisation in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, that provides psychosocial services and where cases of paternal incest are referred for intervention. A qualitative, phenomenological research design was applied in this study to obtain rich data. Six primary caregivers were chosen through purposive sampling, on the basis that their children or grandchildren were exposed to paternal incest within the last five years. Of these, four were mothers and two were maternal grandmothers who were responsible for the children. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and was analysed thematically.
Two main themes emerged from the study. The first theme involved reactions to the disclosure and its aftermath, which encompassed emotional, cognitive and physiological reactions that are similar to secondary traumatisation. The second theme was coping strategies that emerged to deal with the disclosure and its aftermath, which encompassed effective coping strategies (behavioural coping strategies to actively solve problems and the presence of social support), unhealthy or negative coping strategies (behavioural coping strategies of avoidance) and threats to coping (a lack of social support). The contribution of this study lies in the suggestion of guidelines for the support of primary caregivers whose children or grandchildren were exposed to paternal incest. These guidelines include the provision of emotional support, multidisciplinary practitioner support and educational support programmes. / MA (Psychology), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

The impact of emotional support offered during rehabilitation on the long-term quality of life and satisfaction with living of individuals with spinal cord injury : an exploratory study of individuals re-employed in the South African National Defence ForceParker, S. 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScMedSc (Rehabilitation))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / Many South African National Defence Force (SANDF) soldiers have suffered spinal cord
injury either in the line of duty or otherwise. This injury affects all spheres of life
(physical, emotional, social and psychological). Servicemen are often considered heroes
of their country and are often the ones who need to set aside their emotions in order to
fulfil their roles as soldiers. However, it is anticipated that a permanent
impairment/disability e.g. SCI will have an impact on their quality of life (QOL) and
satisfaction with living (SWL).
This study aims to explore whether emotional support offered to soldiers with spinal cord
injury (SCI) during rehabilitation improve their long-term QOL and SWL.
Thirteen soldiers who have been re-employed post injury were asked to complete a selfcompiled,
self-administered questionnaire regarding the emotional support offered during
rehabilitation and the impact thereof on long-term QOL and SWL.
The questionnaire focused on their ratings of the QOL and SWL in different areas of their
lives and circumstances and asked what they would advise newly injured individuals
regarding SCI and rehabilitation. Data was analysed using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods.
Pearson’s chi-square test and the M-L chi-square tests were used to analyse the data with
the Statistica programme. A p-value of < 0.05 were calculated as statistically significant.
Emotional support during rehabilitation showed a significant impact on QOL (p=0.0497).
Ninety-two percent (n=12) of participants rated their QOL as good or excellent while
77% (n=10) rated their SWL as good. Participants who were older than 26 reported a
significantly higher rate of SWL than younger ones (p=0.0292). Furthermore, results
showed that the family was the most constant source of support during rehabilitation
(54%, n=7). Despite that, 77% (n=10) of participants felt that they received excellent
emotional support from the rehabilitation team.
The study results are intended to facilitate growth and development in the rehabilitation
process and guide professionals in the offering of emotional support.

Emosionele ondersteuning van moeders met kinders met kogleere implantingsDu Toit, Tania 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEdPsych (Educational Psychology))--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / Cochlear implants are electronic devices implanted in the ear, which can give
children with severe to profound hearing loss, access to sound and the opportunity
to aquire spoken language. Such implants are achieved via a delicate surgical
procedure, followed by an intensive rehabilitation program. Parents are intimately
involved in this entire process and play a pivotal role in terms of decision-making,
the surgery and the child’s language development. Research has shown that this
procedure causes increased stress levels in parents, as well as an initial experience
of mixed emotions. They also have to consider that some cochlear implants are not
successful and thus do not provide all children with access to sound and the
possibility of learning spoken language. Parents’ first contact with professional
services/persons is generally doctors, ear, nose and throat specialists, audiologists,
speech therapists and social workers. Further research shows that the relationship
between such professionals and parents is not always satisfactory. As mothers
often work closest with professionals, the following research questions arose: How
do mothers experience the emotional support they receive during the diagnosis,
implantation procedure and rehabilitation, and what are their emotional needs during
this time? Because of a lack of literature concerning the role of educational
psychologists in this process, a third question arose: What role can the educational
psychologist play during the diagnosis of deafness and the cochlear implant
process?
The purpose of this generic qualitative study, therefore, was to analyze, describe
and explain the experience of eight mothers of children with cochlear implants, with
regard to support and support needs. The study was conducted within the
interpretive paradigm, which guided the qualitative research design. Data was
collected by means of semi-structured interviews. The interview data were
transcribed and analyzed. The data analysis was done by using aspects of
grounded theory. The findings show that mothers’ experiences of the process were
unique, as the situation of each family differed. The eight mothers’ needs for
emotional support also differed because of their unique experiences. Furthermore, a
lack of support to parents after the rehabilitation process, just before children start
primary school, was identified, and it was established that the educational
psychologist can play a role in this phase and transition phases. Recommendations
were made to improve the support mothers receive from professional services or
people.

Face Threat Mitigation in Feedback: An Examination of Student Apprehension, Self-Efficacy, and Perceived Emotional SupportHadden, Alexis A. 01 January 2017 (has links)
This experimental study examined the effects of an instructor’s face threat mitigation tactics on student self-efficacy for learning and perceived emotional support from the instructor in a written feedback setting. Participants (N = 401) were randomly assigned to one of four feedback scenarios in which level of face threat mitigation and instructor age and status were manipulated. Student grade orientation and state feedback apprehension were measured prior to being exposed to the feedback scenario. Results indicate that high face threat mitigation is positively associated with student self-efficacy for learning and perceived emotional support from the instructor. Results also revealed that state feedback apprehension predicts self-efficacy for learning and perceived emotional support from the instructor. Grade orientation predicted self-efficacy for learning but did not significantly predict perceived emotional support from the instructor providing feedback. Finally, scenarios manipulated for instructor age and status did not significantly differ in self-efficacy for learning or perceived emotional support from the instructor. Implications regarding theory, the measurement of feedback apprehension, and student-instructor communication are discussed.

Äldres upplevelse av emotionellt stöd från omvårdnadspersonal och sjuksköterskor - en litteraturöversikt / Older peoples´ experiences of emotional support given by caregivers and registered nurses – a Literature reviewHjertaker, Agnes January 2018 (has links)
Bakgrund: Världen har en åldrande befolkning och den beräknas öka. Stigande ålder ökar risken att drabbas av sjukdomar vilket kan leda till ett ökat hjälpbehov. Äldre människor är sårbara relaterat till förluster. Denna sårbarhet ökar ytterligare vid flytt till en vård- och omsorgsboende. Emotionellt stöd beskrivs som ett abstrakt begrepp då det inbegriper det existentiella mötet och innehåller olika dimensioner. Emotionellt stöd beskrivs även som medmänsklighet och har visat sig leda till bättre hälsa samt att det förebygger depression. Syfte: Att beskriva betydelsen av- och vilka erfarenheter äldre personer som bor på vård- och omsorgsboenden har av emotionellt stöd som ges av sjuksköterskor och omvårdnadspersonal. Metod: Litteraturöversiktens artiklar sökes i databaserna PubMed och Chinal, 15 artiklar inkluderades med både kvantitativ, kvalitativ och mixad ansats. De inkluderade artiklarnas resultatdelar analyserades genom att söka efter skillnader och likheter som sedan sammanställdes i kategorier. Resultat: Äldre människorna upplevde att det emotionella stödet brister. Då det emotionella stödet inte gavs upplevde de äldre att de inte blev bekräftade som personer, kände ensamhet och otrygghet. Slutsats: För att de äldre ska uppleva emotionellt stöd är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan och omvårdnadspersonalen arbetar med ett personcentrerat förhållningsätt genom att möta de äldre, lyssna på dem och samtala med dem. / Introduction: The world has an aging population and it is expected to increase. When you get older, there is a high risk of diseases and due to that an increasing need of care. Older people are vulnerable due to losses. This vulnerability increases further when moving to a nursing home. Emotional support is described as an abstract concept, an existential meeting, with many dimensions. Emotional support is also described as humanity and emotional support has been shown to improve health and prevent depression. Aim: To describe, from the perspective of older people living in nursing homes, the meaning of and the experiences of emotional support given by registered nurses and nurse assistants. Methods: The articles of the literature review were searched in the databases PubMed and Cinahl, 15 articles of quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods approaches were includes. The articles were analyzed by searching for differences and similarities. The differences and similarities were then grouped together in categories. Result: The result showed that older people experienced shortcomings concerning emotional support. Older people felt that they were not confirmed as persons, felt loneliness and insecurity when emotional support was not given. Conclusion: In order for older people to experience emotional support, it is important that registered nurses and nurse assistant’s uses a person-centered approach by meeting the older people, listening to them and have good conversation with them.
