The unheard stories of adolescents infected and affected by HIV/AIDS about care and/or the lack of careVan Niekerk, Marinda 24 May 2005 (has links)
Adolescents living in the inner-city of Pretoria have their own special challenges that they must face everyday. These challenges entails a poverty context, communities of violence, difficult family circumstances and a developmental phase in which they struggle with their own identity. The focus of this research is to listen to the stories of adolescents that have not being listened to before, concerning HIV/AIDS and their experiences regarding care. These young people is infected and/or affected by HIV/AIDS. The researcher does this research in the Narrative therapeutical paradigm, listening Practical Theologically to the stories of young people infected and/or affected by HIV/AIDS regarding care. Other stories about adolescents and care will also be listened to. The research process is social-constructionally structured. The researcher is searching for a holistic understanding of care from the perspective of young people. Discourses about adolescents, about care, about the inner city and about AIDS will be discussed. Two separate groups of young people participated in the research. The researcher also listened to voices of the Sediba Hope AIDS Care Center about care and about young people. Reflection groups were used, consisting of teenagers and people from the academic community. The researcher used the method of reflection and self reflection throughout the research. Care is described after there were listened to the stories of the young people. The role of an African world-view is described as a resource to understand care holistically. The researcher spent time to reflect on the theological implications of the stories of young people and about the role they must play in the church and in the community. Different care narratives are described as an outcome of the research. Other outcomes are also named and reflected upon. / Thesis (PhD (Practical Theology))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Practical Theology / unrestricted

Urban church, re-developing space within Pretoria's Schubart Park complexSwart, Johan 09 December 2010 (has links)
The study investigates the development of church infrastructure within the urban environment. A symbiotic interaction between church form and urban conditions is proposed and contextualised through analysis of existing church models and current spatial concerns within Pretoria’s inner-city. The potential of church as agent for urban renewal and community development is identified and the study generates a spatial and programmatic model aligned with the inner-city’s need for meaningful and integrated interventions. A systemic definition of church proposes a multi-layered programme based on partnership and interaction while alternative church positioning suggests the concept of re-claiming inner-city spaces, applied through the re-development of the Schubart Park housing complex. AFRIKAANS : Hierdie studie ondersoek die ontwikkeling van kerk infrastruktuur in die stedelike omgewing. ‘n Simbiotiese interaksie tussen kerkvorm en stedelike kondisies word voorgestel en gekontekstualiseer deur analise van bestaande kerk modelle en ruimtelike kwessies in die middestad van Pretoria. studie identifiseer die potensiaal van kerk as agent vir stedelike hernuwing en gemeenskapsontwikkeling en vervolgens word n ruimtelike en programmatiese model in lyn gestel met die middestad se tekort aan betekenisvolle en geintegreerde ingrypings. Sistemiese definisie van kerk stel n gelaagde program voor gebasseer op vennootskap en interaksie terwyl alternatiewe plasing van die hergebruik van stedelike ruimtes voorstel wat toegepas word deur die herontwikkeling van die Schubart Park behuisings kompleks. / Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Architecture / unrestricted

Perceptions of the role of church-based programmes in addressing HIV and AIDS : a study in the Durban inner-city areaCele, Mfiseleni Sylvester 10 1900 (has links)
A structured questionnaire was used to survey the perceptions of programme
coordinators, fieldworkers and beneficiaries of the role of church-based
programmes in addressing HIV and AIDS in the inner-city of Durban. One
hundred and ninety two respondents were recruited from seventeen churches.
Findings indicate that fear of HIV- and AIDS-related stigma and discrimination
abound. The material and spiritual roles of church-based programmes in
addressing the needs of people infected with HIV and affected by HIV and AIDS
were stressed by the respondents. Whereas programme coordinators were well
informed about HIV and AIDS, information that can dispel fears about stigma and
correct myths about HIV-transmission should be tailored to reach ordinary men
and women. It is recommended that further research be conducted on the
preventive aspects of church-based programmes in the Durban inner-city. / Sociology / M.A. (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV/AIDS)

Psychosocial problems and needs of educators infected with HIV and/or affected by HIV and AIDS in selected Johannesburg inner city schoolsMampane, Johannes Ntshilagane January 2011 (has links)
The impact of HIV and AIDS has threatened to destroy the education sector in South Africa.
This qualitative study set out to investigate the psychosocial problems and needs of educators
infected with HIV and/or affected by HIV and AIDS in Johannesburg Inner City schools. The
study explores and describes the need to develop and implement a comprehensive and
holistic treatment, care and support programme for educators infected with HIV and/or
affected by HIV and AIDS. This study also reviews HIV/AIDS policies and programmes
implemented by the Department of Education to indicate that these interventions are not
effective in addressing the problems and needs of these educators. Therefore, the study
contends that the Department of Education should revise and reformulate these HIV/AIDS
policies and programmes to cater for the needs of educators infected with HIV and/or
affected by HIV and AIDS. Ten educators infected with HIV and/or affected by HIV and
AIDS from two selected Johannesburg Inner City schools participated in this study.
Phenomenological strategies and in-depth interviews were used to capture day-to-day
personal life experiences of these educators. The findings of the study reveal that there is a
need for an urgent response by the Department of Education to develop and implement
treatment, care and support programmes for educators infected with HIV and/or affected by
HIV and AIDS. / Sociology / M.A. (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV/AIDS)

Facing homeless people in the inner City of Tshwane : a missiological conversation with the Wesleyan traditionNtakirutimana, Ezekiel 12 1900 (has links)
This study was conducted within the pressing social conditions of human vulnerability manifested in a worsening situation of homelessness which forces homeless people into a deplorable life in the inner city of Tshwane. The study is not a detailed strategic plan to design support services that could improve the situation. It is rather about imagining alternative ways to journey with homeless people in their struggle to regain their humanity; hence the title: Facing homeless people in the inner city of Tshwane.
Chapter 2 analyses homelessness in the inner city of Tshwane, locating it within the bigger picture of the City of Tshwane. It takes into account the poverty that drives poor people to the margins, resulting in further human degradation. It exposes the adverse conditions that homeless people endure due to the absence of a social support net. The study obtained its information primarily from conversations with homeless people and with practitioners in church based organisations dedicated to addressing homelessness. Out of these conversations, five different causes of homelessness emerged, ranging from economic and political, to health, social and cultural factors.
Chapter 3 describes a number of church-based initiatives in the inner city of Tshwane that address the situation of homeless people, analysing their strengths and weaknesses in responding to the causes of homelessness as identified in Chapter 2.
Chapter 3 describes a number of church-based initiatives in the inner city of Tshwane that address the situation of homeless people, analysing their strengths and weaknesses in responding to the causes of homelessness as identified in Chapter 2.
Chapter 4 develops an urban theological vision in response to this situation, in the light of the notions of holiness and hospitality in the Wesleyan tradition. Contemplating this teaching, a framework was generated for the journey of the inner city church with homeless people in their efforts to regain humanity, by prioritising economic, political, health, social, and educational strategies. This chapter highlights the fact that John Wesley’s Methodist movement campaigned for the abolition of African slavery. It also journeyed with poor and vulnerable people like widows, orphans and prisoners, using Methodist “Societies” and “Classes” to integrate them into society.
Finally, Chapter 5 presents an integrative urban theological vision and a set of contextual strategies for the inner city church to journey with homeless people, following the horizons of human liberation developed in earlier chapters. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.Th.

Bemagtiging van enkelouerkinders in hulle laat middelkinderjare in 'n middestad konteks deur gestaltgroepwerk (Afrikaans)Winter, Carla Marika 26 January 2004 (has links)
The single parent family in an inner city context is confronted with a problematic life situation. The demands, which are brought about by single parenthood as well as residence in an inner city environment, often lead to inappropriate parenting. The single parent child is often disrupted on an emotional and social level as a result. In many cases the child handles this disruption inappropriately. The single parent family has a need for resources in the community in order to ensure the continuous emotional, social, psychic and physical well being of its separate members. Involvement in gestalt group work can already be regarded as such an important resource available to the single parent child. Through this research study an investigation was made into the efficiency of a gestalt group work programme in the empowerment of the single parent child to handle the negative experiences of the single parent situation, such as feelings of guilt, anger, confusion, fear, inadequacy, loss, and sorrow and depression. Gestalt group work offers an opportunity to the child to share feelings and experiences regarding the single parent situation within the group context and to receive support from the therapists and other group members. This process strengthens the child’s inner self and the child is empowered to self-support. A complete and refined gestalt group work programme was developed and evaluated from the findings of a literature study and empirical study. The process of intervention research was followed during the empirical study. Data was obtained from seven single parent children in their late middle childhood years in an inner city context and their single parents. The combined quantitative-qualitative approach was used for this purpose according to the dominant-less-dominant model of Creswell. The single-systems design was used to test the effectiveness of the programme. The quantitative findings were obtained by self-developed questionnaires for the child respondents and their single parents, before and after the gestalt group work programme. The qualitative findings were obtained by unstructured observation during the gestalt group work sessions. According to the integration of the quantitative and qualitative findings, the conclusion can be made that the gestalt group work programme brought about an improvement in the child respondents’ emotional and social levels of functioning and their appropriate handling of feelings. The findings obtained, suggest that the developed gestalt group work programme can be implemented with confidence with single parent children in their late middle childhood years in an inner city context. Further research on the development and evaluation of a gestalt group work programme, specifically presented to the single parents, in order to guide and support them in the handling of their experiences of the single parent situation, is strongly suggested. / Thesis (DPhil (Social Work))--University of Pretoria, 2005. / Social Work and Criminology / unrestricted
