Family support in chronic illness20 October 2008 (has links)
M.A. / When a person is diagnosed with a chronic illness, the family as a whole is affected. The family members as caregivers to the patient become the clients. During the course of their care-giving, family members encounter various situations that require them to give ethical and value-ridden decisions that are related to the care and wellbeing of their patients. Many of the issues and dilemmas facing family members as caregivers place them in a double-bind situation. The decision to act or not to act is emotionally painful and guilt-provoking. These impacts on the family members warrant that they be assisted by a social worker, to adjust to a new situation as caregivers and also to preserve the normal family functioning system. The goal of this study is to investigate the emotional and social impact chronic illness has on the patient's family, with the purpose of formulating recommendations for the improvement of current family interventions as part of chronically ill patients rehabilitation programme. The study was conducted at Emseni Chronic Care center, which is a hospital for the chronically ill patients in Hillbrow. There are about 240 patients of which more than 60% are dislocated from their families. Purposive sampling was used in this study and 26 patient's families were interviewed. The qualitative approach is adopted in this study. The qualitative approach has advantages that it is a highly effective means of obtaining the information required for further understanding and exploration of a topic, Cresswell (1994). A qualitative interview was used with one main question, to gather data for the study. The data was also analyzed qualitatively and conclusions are drawn from the results. The study presents the guidelines as recommendations to be considered when working with families of chronically ill patients. The researcher is of the opinion that if practiced properly, the guidelines can be a valuable asset as a tool for social workers working with the family members as part of rehabilitation programme for the chronically ill patients. / Dr. W.

The impact of the critical care experience as recalled by the spouse : a qualitative studyPryse, Yvette January 1999 (has links)
This phenomenological study was conducted in a rural area serviced by a small community hospital to answer the research question , "what is the lived experience of the spouse of the critically ill patient." The informants were three female spouses who had experienced critical care as the spouse of a critically ill male patient within the past year. Once verbal consent was obtained, written consent was obtained by sending a letter explaining the study, along with a consent form describing the risks and the benefits.Data were collected by means of tape-recorded unstructured forty-five minute interview. The study was strictly voluntary and all tape-recorded data collected were identified by numbers only and destroyed at the completion of the study. The informant was asked the question, "Tell me what it was like for you when your husband was critically ill?" Data were analyzed via the hermaneutical process of Heidegger as outlined by Giorgi.Each informant was provided the opportunity to reflect and recall this lived experience. The informants shared seven common themes even though each experience was individually unique and separate. The seven themes that emerged were (a) fear, (b) educational needs, (c) self-sacrifice, (d) center of focus shift, (e) family event, (f) the need to discuss system contact and, (g) tomorrow.The themes suggest that closure has not occurred for the spouse of the critically ill person. The findings indicate that the event is not limited to the initial hospitalization, but that long term changes and perceptions are apparent from the informants' perspectives.Implications for the nurse clinician, nursing education and research were described. Recommendations for further research include further study on the long term effects of critical illness on the spouse of the critically ill client. / School of Nursing
