My narrative case study focuses on how one family uses the exhibitions and educational resources at the Denver Art Museum. I gathered stories of the family’s experiences at the museum in order to determine what their choices reflected about their family values and how they integrated those experiences into their daily lives. This study draws upon socio-cultural and constructivist learning theories by proposing that each family member contributes their prior knowledge and life experiences to the process of making meaning and drawing connections within the art museum. Moreover, even though the family acted as a social learning group, each member constructed personal knowledge in different ways from their shared experiences. I used narrative analysis and coding as means to interpret the meanings of the family’s stories. In addition to identifying the family’s values regarding art museum learning, findings pointed to the imperative need for museum educators to address preparing adult learning partners for visits to art museums with children. The lack of current research pertaining to family learning in art museums was a chief motivator for conducting this study (Sterry & Beaumont, 2006). Research of family interactions in museums has largely focused on non-art museums (Borun, 2002; Borun et al., 1998; Ellenbogen, Luke, & Dierking, 2007). Family art museum experiences are distinct and should be studied separately from those in other types of museums. Research, such as this study, that look specifically at how families use art museum exhibitions and educational resources will address the lack of literature and emphasize the value of art museum experiences for life-long family learning. / text

Prior research has indicated that family experiences, including parental divorce, interparental conflict, and the parent-child relationship, play an important role in adult childrens romantic relationships (e.g., Wallerstein & Lewis, 1998; Mahl, 2001; Harvey & Fine, 2004). Research on how these variables may work in combination and on how these family experiences affect romantic relationships during the developmental period of emerging adulthood is lacking. The current study investigated the impact that family divorce has on features of emerging adults romantic relationships. It also examined whether these relationships are mediated by parent-child relationship, are moderated by interparental conflict, and vary with gender and age at the time of divorce.<p>A total of 310 students between the ages of 18-25 from University of Saskatchewan participated in this study. Contrary to the hypothesis, the findings showed that in their romantic relationships emerging adults from divorced families, compared to emerging adults from intact families, had a higher degree of three romantic features: care, commitment, and maintenance. Partly in line with the hypothesis, only retrospective interparental conflict moderated the link between family structure and romantic conflict. Finally, differences, regardless of family structure, were found between males and females, where females indicated having higher levels of intimacy and males indicated having higher levels of coercion in their romantic relationships. Possible explanations for the findings and implications for future research are discussed.

A qualitative study was carried out with 10 qualified counselling psychologists to explore their perceptions regarding the influence of their early family experiences on their practice. The method employed was grounded theory using data gathered from semi-structured interviews. Analysis of the participants' accounts suggested that early family experiences provided a strong motivation to enter the field of counselling psychology, in order to make sense out of early difficult experiences and utilise early learned skills. Additionally, participants percieved their early experiences to have both a positive and negative influence on their therapeutic competency and practice. The experience of working through and coping with personal struggles enhanced their empathic, relexive abilities and emotional resilience in staying with their clients' difficulties. However, early experiences presented a challenge for the particpants in their ability to facilitate their clients' therapeutic process. These challenges were triggered when re-living earlier experiences in the therapeutic encounter. Early family and later experiences also appeared to influence the participants' developing professional identity, in providing inclinations of working with certain client groups, settings, and therapeutic modalities. In the process of developing their professional identity, participants were in search of authenticity by utilising the theories and therapeutic stance that fits with who they are internally. The participants also emphasised the importance of personal therapy, in terms of dealing with personal issues, increasing self-awareness, modelling their own practice and cultivating therapeutic skills. Personal therapy has been found to have a positive influence on therapeutic practice. A constructed theoretical framework is also presented offering an understanding of the main psychological process identified : &quot;counselling psychologists' self-formation : entering a process of ongoing transformation&quot;. The implications of these findings for the relational practice of counselling psychology are discussed.

Naturalistic developmental behavioural interventions (NDBI) are a group of evidence-based early interventions for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Caregivers can be trained to deliver NDBI strategies during interactions with their young child with ASD. However, NDBI research predominantly comes from high-income countries, and the evidence base for NDBI in low/middle-income countries (LMICs) and across cultures is lacking. To understand the ‘fit' of an NDBI approach in LMICs, it is crucial to understand and be able to measure the nature of interactions between caregivers and their children with ASD and the context wherein caregiver-child interactions occur. This study sought a) to evaluate the utility of a specific measure of caregiver-child dyadic interactions and b) to examine daily routines in which caregiver-child interactions occurred in low-resource South African contexts. Methodology Children with ASD (between 18-72 months old) and their ≥18-year-old caregivers were recruited under a larger project. Interactions of 21 caregiver-child dyads were video-recorded using a standardised parent-child interaction (PCI) protocol with two 6-minute-long free-play sessions (Part I: child explored the room and available toys while the caregiver remained seated; Part II: caregiver interacted with their child as they would at home). Two research-reliable raters rated the videos using 16 items from the Joint Engagement Rating Inventory (JERI), a 7-point Likert scale behavioural coding system. Reliability and descriptive analyses were conducted. Structured interviews were conducted with ten caregivers using the Parent Survey of Home and Family Experiences (PSHFE) to explore the context of daily routines. Descriptive analyses were performed. Results For caregiver-child interactions, observer agreement for 12 of 16 items was reasonable, with weighted kappas (within 1 scale point) of 0.66-1, an estimated accuracy of 88-99%, and percentage agreements of 75-100% for all items. Ratings for items across Parts I and II of the JERI showed variability without any ceiling effects. Six items showed floor effects. Most caregiver item ratings were at the mid-point of the 7-point Likert scale. In Part II, children used more expressive language and paid more attention to their caregivers. On the PSHFE, most children participated daily in various child routines, play and early literacy activities with mothers as main partners. Most children never participated in spiritual and community activities, typically due to the child's age, safety and other reasons not specified in interview response categories. Conclusion Reliability, floor/ceiling, behavioural and Part I vs Part II profiles suggested that the JERI, used for the first time in a South African context, has potential utility both to describe caregiver-child interactions and be used as an intervention outcome measure in LMICs. The PSHFE results provided contextual data of common daily activities into which NDBI strategies could be embedded to support child generalisation of skills in South Africa.

Bakgrund Under 2021 drabbades ungefär 1400 personer i Sverige av en tumör i det centrala nervsystemet, vilket ledde till 675 dödsfall. Hjärntumörer kan orsaka svåra symtom som huvudvärk, aptitförlust, personlighetsförändringar och psykiska problem. Sjuksköterskan ansvarar då för att hjälpa patienten men också att stödja de anhöriga som går igenom en utmanande tid. I och med att patientens självständighet minskar, hamnar anhöriga ofta i en ny roll med ökat ansvar. Detta understryker behovet av att belysa anhörigas upplevelser och stödja dem på ett värdigt sätt. Syfte Syftet med studien var att belysa anhörigvårdarens upplevelser av att vårda en patient med hjärntumör. Metod En icke-systematisk litteraturöversikt baserad på 10 vetenskapliga artiklar. Sökningarna gjordes på PubMed och CINAHL. De valda artiklarna granskades Sophiahemmet högskolas bedömningsmall. En integrerad analys användes för att analysera och sammanställa resultatet. Resultat Fyra kategorier framkom efter analysen av materialet. Dessa var vårdgivarens börda, känslomässiga reaktioner, relationer samt stöd. Resultatet visade att anhöriga hade mycket negativa upplevelser från att ha vårdat sina anhöriga med hjärntumörer. Anhörigvårdare upplevde omfattande förändringar i vardagen, där de fick andra ansvar som de inte haft tidigare vilka krävde tid, energi och tillgänglighet. Denna förändring medförde starka känslomässiga reaktioner, förändringar i relationer och ett stort stödbehov. Slutsats De anhörigas upplevelser var främst negativa och de skulle behöva mer stöd och hjälp för att klara av den befintliga situationen bättre. Litteraturöversikten identifierade att de anhöriga upplevde starka känslomässiga reaktioner, förändringar i relationer, en börda i det ansvar de behöver ta och ett behov av mer stöd. Med denna ökade kunskap och förståelse kan vårdpersonalen hjälpa till och förhoppningsvis också lyckas minska de negativa konsekvenserna. / Background During 2021, approximately 1400 people in Sweden were diagnosed with central nervous system tumors, resulting in 675 deaths. Brain tumors can cause severe symptoms such as headaches, decreased appetite, personality changes and psychological problems. Nurses are responsible to help the patient and supporting the family during this challenging time. As the patient's independence diminishes, relatives often find themselves in a new role with increased responsibilities. This highlights the need to illuminate the experiences of family members and support them in a dignified manner. Aim This study aims to explore family caregivers' experiences of taking care of a patient with a brain tumor. Method A non-systematic review of 10 studies was conducted using PubMed and CINAHL databases. The selected articles were reviewed using an assessment template. An integrated analysis was used to analyze and compile the results. Results Four categories emerged after the analysis of the material. These were caregiver burden, emotional reactions, relationships, and support. The results showed that relatives had very negative experiences from caring for their relatives with brain tumors. Family caregivers experienced extensive changes in their everyday lives, where they were given other responsibilities they had not previously had, requiring time, energy, and availability. This change brought strong emotional reactions, changes in relationships, and a great need for support. Conclusions The family's experiences were mainly negative and they would need more support and help to be able to cope with the situation they have been put in in a better way. The literature review identified that the family experienced strong emotional reactions, changes in relationships, a burden in new responsibilities they got and a need for more support. With this increased knowledge and understanding, the healthcare staff can help and hopefully also succeed in reducing the negative consequences.

I Sverige insjuknar 250-300 barn varje år av cancer. De cancertyper som drabbar barn är vanligtvis inte de samma som vuxna utvecklar. Olika cancerformer kräver olika typer av behandling, dessa är cytostatika, operation samt strålbehandling. Sjuksköterskan skall kunna möta föräldrar och barn samt uppfatta deras lidande för att kunna tillfredställa behovet av en god omvårdnad. För föräldrarna upplevs barnets cancerdiagnos ofta som ett svårt lidande, som kan kännas helt outhärdligt. När ett barn är svårt sjukt i cancer innebär detta en långvarig kontakt med sjukvården för hela familjen. Det är en svår och stressfull situation för familjen och deras välbefinnande påverkas av vårdarens agerande.Syftet med studien är att beskriva föräldrarnas uppfattning av vad som är god vård i samband med behandling av det cancersjuka barnet på sjukhus. Metoden är en litteraturstudie där åtta kvalitativa artiklar analyseras enligt Evans (2003) metod.Resultatet presenteras utifrån fem teman som är: Anpassad information, Kontinuerlig vårdrelation, Emotionellt stöd, Familjens delaktighet i vården samt Lugn vårdmiljö.Det mest framträdande i resultatet är att information är grunden till att föräldrarna skall uppleva att deras barn får en god vård. En adekvat given information med lyhördhet inför den enskilde förälderns behov och önskemål resulterar i en mer tillfredställd förälder. / Program: Fristående kurs

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / O estudo tem como tema os Percursos trilhados pelas famílias para a garantia do direito à educação de crianças com necessidades especiais. Este estudo surgiu pela demanda dos integrantes do Núcleo de Estudos da Infância: Pesquisa & Extensão (NEI:P&E/UERJ), coordenado pela Prof Dr Vera Vasconcellos, em compreender como ocorreu a trajetória de escolarização de crianças acompanhadas em dois estudos realizados em creches do município do Rio de Janeiro, em 2009, após a saída delas das referidas instituições. Os estudos foram: i) Crianças focais: a triangulação educação-família-saúde na creche, realizado em 2008 e 2009 na Creche Institucional Dr. Paulo Niemeyer; e ii) Infância, Educação e Inclusão: um estudo de caso, realizado em 2009 na Creche Municipal de Odetinha Vidal de Oliveira. A pesquisa atual tem como proposta um estudo de follow-up, onde demos continuidade às duas anteriores, a partir da análise do percurso de três (3) famílias (mãe) na tentativa de garantir uma educação inclusiva de qualidade para seus filhos. Inicialmente, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico e documental sobre o tema. Em seguida voltou-se às famílias das crianças com o objetivo de investigar de que modo à escolarização foi sendo propiciadas a estas crianças e como suas dificuldades de aprendizagem têm sido entendidas nos espaços educacionais que frequentam. Adotamos o Estudo de Caso como proposta metodológica. Foram realizadas duas entrevistas com as mães das crianças, respectivamente em 2012 e 2013 e solicitado que elas respondessem um questionário (Caracterização Familiar), que delineava o perfil das mesmas destacando suas características sóciodemograficas. Os dados produzidos foram sistematizados através da abordagem de Análise de Conteúdo por temáticas, com ênfase nas trajetórias das crianças e suas famílias em prol da garantia ao direito à Educação. A pesquisa conclui que as crianças do estudo não encontraram espaço no sistema regular de educação, público e/ou privado, em contraste ao que garante os documentos nacionais e municipais. As trajetórias e experiências foram repletas de inseguranças e expectativas negativas por parte das escolas quanto ao desenvolvimento e escolarização das crianças. Conclui também que não é suficiente conhecer os direitos à educação da criança com necessidades especiais, as instituições precisam reconhecer os familiares como parceiros privilegiados na construção de alternativas para a produção de conhecimentos das crianças com necessidades especiais. Os dados demonstraram a importância social das escolas especiais no atendimento especializado de crianças com necessidades especiais. Os lugares ocupados por essas instituições são reconhecido pelas famílias como fundamental rede de apoio e suporte às crianças e famílias no processo de educação e inclusão escolar. / The theme of this study is Paths trodden by families to guarantee the right to education of children with special needs. This study arose from the demand of the members of Núcleo de Estudos da Infância: Pesquisa & Extensão (NEI:P&E/UERJ), coordinated by PhD. Vera Vasconcellos, to understand how was the scholar path of children monitored in two studies realized in public day care center in the city of Rio de Janeiro, in 2009, after leaving these institutions. The studies were: i) Focal children: the triangulation education-family-health in day care center, realizend in 2008 and 2009 in Creche Institucional Dr. Paulo Niemeyer, e ii) Childhood, Education and Inclusion: a case study realized in 2009 in Creche Municipal de Odetinha Vidal de Oliveira. The present research proposes a follow-up study, in which we continued to the previous two, from the analysis of the course of three families (mother) in an attempt to ensure a quality, inclusive education for their children. At the beginning, we performed a bibliographic and documentary survey on the subject. Then he turned to the families of children with the aim of investigating how the school was being provided to these children and how their learning difficulties have been understood in attending educational spaces. We adopted the Case Studyas a methodological propose. There were two interviews with the mothers of the children, respectively in 2012 and 2013 and asked them to answer a questionnaire (Family Characterization), which outlined their profile, highlighting their sociodemographic characteristics. The data was systematized through the content analysis approach by theme, emphasizing the path of the children and their families to guarantee the right to Education. The research concluded thar the study children had no space in regular educational system, public and/or private, in opposition to what national and city documents guarantee. The path and experiences were full of insecurity and negative expectations from schools about the development and education of children. I also conclude that is not enough to know children with special needs right to education, the institutions need to recognize families as privileged partners in the constructions of ways to produce children with special needs knowledge. The seats held by these institutions are recognized by families as essential support network and support to children and families in the process of education and school inclusion.
