Providing mental health care to involuntary mental health care users (MHCUs) is challenging and an ethical adversity nurses often have to deal with. The literature, in general, indicates that nurses might possess coping and resiliency in the work environment where they are often faced with adversities. However there is a paucity of information regarding the resilience of nurses providing mental health care (MHC) to involuntary MHCUs. Therefore the research objectives explored the resilience of nurses using the Connor-Davidson scale (CD-RISC), to explore and describe how nurses cope and strengthen their resilience in providing MHC to involuntary MHCUs and to formulate guidelines to strengthen the resilience of these nurses to provide quality nursing care in the work environment where MHCUs are often involuntarily admitted. To achieve these objectives, the research followed both a qualitative and quantitative approach and an exploratory and descriptive design which was contextual in nature. A convenience sampling method was used to achieve a sample size of 28 participants, who were handed questionnaires to complete, containing demographical information, the CD-RISC and a narrative. A response rate of 85.7% was reached. Quantitative data was analysed by using the SPSS programme while data from narratives, for the qualitative data, were grouped and themed. The results in the first phase indicated that resiliency was high amongst participants, as the mean score of the CD-RISC was 79.9 out of a total score of 100; whilst only one participant scored below 50. The mean for the highest scores was on item 25 (pride in your achievements) (3.8) and item 10 (best effort no matter what) (3.6) and two critical aspects which scored low were item 18 (make unpopular or difficult decisions) and item 19 (can handle unpopular feelings) (2.3) amongst participants. Interestingly, the majority of participants (66.7%) do not have training in psychiatric nursing. In the second phase, two themes were identified from the questions. The first theme “Coping mechanisms” identified four methods to cope with involuntary MHCUs. These subthemes are “support system”, “knowledge, skills and experience”, “nurse-patient relationship” and “spirituality and selfcare”. The second theme “Resilience strategies” brought forth five subthemes as follows: “support”, “trained staff”, “security measures and safety”, “teamwork” and “in-service training and education”. Conclusions suggest that nurses are resilient to provide MHC for involuntary MHCUs. Furthermore, they take pride in their achievements and have passion for their work. On the contrary, they find it difficult to make unpopular decisions which affect others and to handle unpleasant feelings. This is indicative of internal conflict and difficulty in being assertive. Nurses take pride in their achievements and want to give nursing care that’s in the best interest of the MHCUs whilst they feel that they might not always be able to do so due to the involuntary nature of the MHCUs admission and treatment. Recommendations for nursing practice, namely guidelines to strengthen the resilience of nurses providing mental health care to involuntary MHCUs could be developed from the research findings. Facilitating assertiveness and a supportive environment might strengthen resilience and should be addressed by management and supervisors. Recommendations for nursing education and further research were also formulated. / MCur, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The community of the Western Cape carries the burden of the serious consequences of alcohol addiction. Alcohol abuse is very common and the consequences range from severe to devastating, not just for the individual but also for the family and the community as a whole. If answers are sought within the community, the problem deepens, and it becomes apparent why the problem of alcohol abuse is not being successfully addressed. The addict refuses treatment, the community respects the autonomy of the individual, and the problem drags on. The community also has many misperceptions concerning the causes and perpetuation of the pathological drinking behaviour of the addict, and are thus not equipped with the knowledge necessary to suggest the correct interventions for this physical and psychological illness. There is also concern that a person's autonomy and human rights are so highly regarded in the community that the appropriate treatment necessary for this serious disorder of addiction does not receive the attention it deserves. This paper investigates the causes of alcoholism and the factors which reinforce a person's drinking behaviour. The autonomy of the alcoholic is challenged and examined in depth. The importance currently assigned to autonomy and individual rights is questioned, and balanced against other important moral and ethical principles of our time. Alcohol is a drug which causes physical and psychological addiction. Addiction literally means "under the control" of something. Alcohol use is a socially acceptable habit. The psychotropic (calming) effect of alcohol serves as an effective support in or escape from stress in the life of the individual. There are also "vulnerable" individuals in the community in whom a genetic predisposition increases the chance of the development of alcohol dependence. In spite of the fact that alcohol dependence is an acquired physical condition, nobody intentionally becomes addicted to alcohol. With the knowledge of the power that addiction exercises over the life of the individual, attention is now given to the autonomy of the addict, and his/her capacity for rational decision making. The significance of the decision to request treatment for the individual, his/her family and the community is balanced against competency to take the decision. Argument is developed towards the conclusion that the alcoholic is indeed not autonomous, and does not have the competency to make decisions concerning treatment. If the autonomy of the addict is thus questioned, the way in which the person is then treated by the community becomes a difficult moral dilemma. The community's responsibility of care towards the individual and the wider community are jeopardized. The ethical principles of deontology (rules), utilitarianism (the best result for the greatest number), autonomy versus beneficence, solicitude, virtue, human rights and other principles are discussed in depth. A solution is sought that will eventually be "good" for the addict and the community. The conclusion is reached that it is "good" to intervene in the life of the addict at a certain stage of addiction. Involuntary treatment is suggested as one possible way of attacking the problem of serious alcohol abuse that is threatening to overwhelm the community. Practical suggestions are offered for the renewed application of existing treatment structures and legislation to the benefit of the addict and the community. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die gemeenskap in die Wes-Kaap gaan gebuk onder die ernstige gevolge wat alkoholverslaafdheid meebring. Alkoholmisbruik is baie algemeen en het ernstige tot vernietigende gevolge, nie net vir die induvidu nie, maar ook vir die gesin en die gemeenskap as geheel. As daar na antwoorde vir hierdie probleem in die gemeenskap gesoek word, verdiep die probleem en kom dit duidelik aan die lig waarom die probleem van alkoholmisbruik nie suksesvol aangespreek kan word nie. Die verslaafde persoon weier behandeling, die gemeenskap respekteer die indivdu sy · outonomiteit en die proble~m sleep voort. Die gemeenskap het ook baie wanopvattings omtrent die oorsake en instandhouding van die verslaafde se patologiese drinkgedrag en is dus nie met die nodige kennis toegerus om die korrekte ingrepe vir hierdie fisiese en psigiese siektetoestand voor te stel nie. Daar is ook kommer dat die gemeenskap 'n persoon se outonomiteit menseregte s6 hoog aanslaan dat 1 die toepaslike hantering van die ernstige verslawing nie tot sy reg kom nie. Hierdie werkstuk ondersoek die oorsake van alkoholisme en die faktore wat die persoon se drinkgedrag versterk. Die alkoholverslaafde se outonomiteit word uitgedaag en in diepte ondersoek. Die gewig wat 'n persoon se outonomiteit en 'regte' in die gemeenskap dra, word bevraagteken en met ander belangrike moreel etiese beginsels van die dag gebalanseer. Alkohol is 'n dwelm wat fisiese en psigiese verslaafdheid veroorsaak. Verslaafdheid beteken letterlik 'onder die beheer' van daardie substans. Alkohol gebruik is sosiaal 'n aanvaarbare gewoonte. Alkohol se psigotrope effek (kalmerend) dien as 'n effektiewe stut of ontvlugting vir stres in die lewe van die individu. Daar is ook 'kwesbare' individue in die gemeenskap waar 'n genetiese predisposisie die persoon meer 'vatbaar maak vir die ontwikkeling van alkohol afhanklikheid. Ten spyte van die feit dat alkohol-afhanklikheid 'n verworwe fisiese toestand is, raak niemand 'moedswillig' aan alkohol verslaaf nie. Met die kennis van die krag wat verslawing op die individua se lewe uitoefen as agtergrond word daar voorts gekyk na die outonomie en die verslaafde se vermoe tot rasionele besluitname. Die gewigtigheid van die besluit tot behandeling vir die individu, sy gesin en die gemeenskap word met kompetensie tot besluitname gebalanseer. Arguemente word gebou wat tot die gevolgtrekking lei dat die alkohol-afhanklike inderdaad nie outonoom is en nie die kapasiteit vir die neem van behandelingsbesluite besit nie. Indien die verslaafde se outonomiteit dan bevraagteken word, word die gemeenskap se verdere hantering van die persoon 'n groot morele dilemma. Die gemeenskap se verantwoordelikheid van sorg teenoor die individu en die groter gemeenskap kom in gedrang. Die etiese beginsels van deontologie (reels), konsekwensialisme (die beste vir die meeste), outonomiteit versus goedwilligheid, sorgsaamheid, deug, menseregte en ander beginsels word in diepte bespreek. Daar word voorgestel dat die gemeenskap se plig tot so~g, in die geval van endstadium alkoholisme, moreel sterker is as bloot die respek vir outonomie. Daar word tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat dit 'goed' is om op 'n sekere stadium van verslawing in die lewe van 'n persoon in te gryp.· Nie-vrywillige behandeling word voorgestel as bloot een van die aanslae vanuit die gemeenskap om die ernstige probleem van alkoholmisbruik wat besig is om die gemeenskap te oorweldig aan te pak. Praktiese voorstelle word gemaak om huidige behandelingsstrukture en wetgewing opnuut tot voordeel van die verslaafde en die gemeenskap aan te wend.

L’imagerie musicale involontaire (IMIN) est un phénomène mental extrêmement commun. Il peut être défini en tant que type d’imagerie mentale musicale qui devient consciente sans effort ou intentionnalité et qui n’est pas pathologique. La forme la plus connue d’IMIN est le « ver d’oreille », qui se présente généralement comme un court extrait musical tournant en boucle en tête et dont on se débarrasse difficilement. L’objectif principal de la présente thèse est d’investiguer les mécanismes cognitifs sous-tendant le phénomène puisque, malgré l’intérêt répandu dans les médias populaires, son étude expérimentale est récente et un modèle intégré n’a pas encore été proposé. Dans la première étude, l’induction expérimentale a été tentée et les caractéristiques des images mentales d’épisodes d’IMIN ont été investiguées. Dans le laboratoire, des chansons accrocheuses (versus des proverbes) ont été présentées répétitivement aux participants qui devaient ensuite les chanter le plus fidèlement possible. Ils ont par après quitté le laboratoire, une enregistreuse numérique en mains, avec la consigne d’enregistrer une reproduction vocale la plus fidèle possible de ce qu’ils avaient en tête lors de tous leurs épisodes d’IMIN sur une période de quatre jours, ainsi que de décrire leur timbre. L’expérience a été répétée deux semaines plus tard. Douze des dix-huit participants du groupe expérimental ont rapporté des pièces induites comme épisodes d’IMIN, ce qui confirme l’efficacité de la procédure d’induction. La tonalité et le tempo des productions ont ensuite été analysés et comparés à ceux des pièces originales. Similairement pour les épisodes d’IMIN induits et les autres, les tempi produits et, dans une moindre mesure pour les non-musiciens, les tonalités étaient proches des originaux. Le timbre décrit était généralement une version simplifiée de l’original (un instrument et/ou une voix). Trois études se sont ensuite intéressées au lien entre le potentiel d’IMIN et la mémorabilité. Dans une étude préliminaire, 150 chansons du palmarès francophone radiophonique ont été évaluées en ligne par 164 participants, sur leur niveau de familiarité, d’appréciation et de potentiel d’IMIN. Les pièces ont ensuite été divisées en groupes de stimuli à faible et à fort potentiel d’IMIN, qui ont été utilisés dans une tâche typique de rappel libre/reconnaissance, premièrement avec des francophones (pour qui les pièces étaient familières) et ensuite avec des non-francophones (pour qui les pièces étaient non-familières). Globalement, les pièces à fort potentiel d’IMIN étaient mieux rappelées et reconnues que les pièces à faible potentiel. Une dernière étude a investigué l’impact de la variabilité inter-stimulus du timbre sur les résultats précédents, en demandant à une chanteuse d’enregistrer les lignes vocales des pièces et en répétant l’expérience avec ces nouveaux stimuli. La différence précédemment observée entre les stimuli à fort et à faible potentiel d’IMIN dans la tâche de reconnaissance a ainsi disparu, ce qui suggère que le timbre est une caractéristique importante pour le potentiel d’IMIN. En guise de conclusion, nous suggérons que les phénomènes mentaux et les mécanismes cognitifs jouant un rôle dans les autres types de souvenirs involontaires peuvent aussi s’appliquer à l’IMIN. Dépendamment du contexte, la récupération mnésique des pièces peut résulter de la répétition en mémoire à court terme, de l’amorçage à court et long terme ou de l’indiçage provenant de stimuli dans l’environnement ou les pensées. Une des plus importantes différences observables entre l’IMIN et les autres souvenirs involontaires est la répétition. Nous proposons que la nature même de la musique, qui est définie par la répétition à un niveau micro- et macro-structurel en est responsable. / Involuntary Musical Imagery (INMI) is a widely prevalent musical phenomenon. It can be defined as a type of musical mental imagery that becomes accessible to consciousness without any effort or intent and that is not pathological. The best known form of INMI is the “earworm”, which usually presents as a short excerpt of music running repetitively through one’s mind and which is difficult to get rid of. The goal of the present thesis is to build a better understanding of the cognitive mechanisms at play, because, although the phenomenon is discussed abundantly in the popular literature and media, the scientific inquiries are recent and an integrated model has yet to be proposed. In the first study, experimental induction was attempted and the characteristics of INMI episodes’ mental images were assessed. In the laboratory, catchy songs (versus proverbs) were presented repeatedly to participants who had to sing them back (or reproduce the proverbs’ prosody) as accurately as possible. Participants then left for four days with a recording device, singing their INMI episodes as similarly as possible to their mental imagery and describing their timbre. The experiment was repeated two weeks later. Twelve out of the eighteen participants in the experimental group reported INMI episodes of the induced songs, which confirms the effectiveness of the induction procedure. The sung productions were then analyzed for key and tempo and were compared to the original versions. Produced tempi and, to a smaller extent in the case of non-musicians, keys were close to the originals, for both the induced and other INMI episodes. Described timbre was generally a simplified version of the original (one instrument and/or voice). Three studies then addressed the link between INMI potential and memorability. In a preliminary study, 150 francophone hit songs were evaluated online by 164 participants, as to their familiarity, liking and INMI potential. They were then divided into high and low INMI potential song groups and were used as stimuli in a typical free recall/recognition task, first with Francophones (for whom the songs were familiar) and then with non-Francophones (for whom the songs were unfamiliar). Globally, high INMI potential songs were better recalled and recognized than low INMI potential songs. A final study investigated the impact on the previous results of the timbre variability between songs, by asking a single female singer to make vocal recordings of the stimuli and repeating the experiment. The previously observed difference between high and low INMI potential songs on the recognition task disappeared, suggesting that timbre plays an important role in INMI potential. In conclusion, we suggest that mental phenomena and cognitive mechanisms applying to other involuntary thoughts and memories can also apply to INMI. Depending on the context, memory retrieval of the songs can happen as the result of short-term memory rehearsal, short and long-term priming or cuing from stimuli in the environment or thoughts. The biggest difference between INMI and other types of involuntary memories is repetition. We suggest that the nature of music, which is defined by repetition at a micro- and macro-structural level, explains this discrepancy.

The topic of this thesis is involuntary childlessness and its impact on partner relationships. The theoretical part describes theories which try to explain, why people want to have children; here the knowledge about infertility, its therapy and other ways of solving this problem are summarized. The next part of the thesis deals with involuntary childlessness and its psychosocial aspects; special attention is paid to involuntary childlessness in connection to partner relationships. This part also summarizes the coping strategies of partners and presents the possible ways of psychological help for them. The empirical part was implemented by using the qualitative research, the semi-structured interviews and the method of Inclusion of Other in the Self scale. Total of 11 respondents took part, all women and each of them with experience in the area of involuntary childlessness. This part presents answers on the questions about the sense of parenthood for involuntarily childless women, their emotions and partner relationships. It surveys the areas of partner relationships, which were affected by the involuntary childlessness and describes what happens in relationship during this experience. It also shows the view of the individual respondents on the role of the social environment, on the life without...

Part-time faculty members represent the majority of faculty at public two-year postsecondary institutions. Utilizing part-time faculty enables two-year institutions to control their instructional costs and maintain scheduling flexibility. However, part-time faculty are diverse in regards to their employment preference, some prefer part-time employment while others would prefer a full-time position. Since retaining and attracting qualified and experienced part-time faculty members is essential, it is imperative that their satisfaction be understood. This study uses the 2004 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF: 04) to study faculty satisfaction. Faculty was disaggregated according to employment preference into full-time, involuntary part-time, and voluntary part-time in order to study the structure of satisfaction for each group and the factors that influence the satisfaction for each group. The factors studied were perception of equity, partial inclusion, demographic differences and academic discipline. I found that the structure of faculty satisfaction and the influence of variables on faculty satisfaction differ among full-time, involuntary part-time, and voluntary part-time faculty.

En grundläggande princip för ett aktiebolag är att aktieägarna inte har något personligt betalningsansvar för bolagets förpliktelser. I syfte att skydda bolagsborgenärerna så finns det i aktiebolagslagen ett flertal kapitalskyddsregler. I 25 kap. ABL finns de så kallade kapitalbristreglerna. Reglerna bygger på att när en kritisk kapitalbrist har uppstått, så ska styrelsen iaktta ett visst handlingsmönster som syftar till att antingen läka kapitalbristen, eller inleda en ordnad avveckling av bolaget. Underlåter bolagets företrädare att vidta de åtgärder som lagen föreskriver så kan dessa personer bli solidariskt medansvariga med bolaget för de förpliktelser som uppkommer därefter. En grundläggande utgångspunkt i syfte att skydda bolagets borgenärer är att den kontrollbalansräkning som handlingsmönstret ålägger bolaget att upprätta ska granskas av bolagets revisor. Syftet med den oberoende granskningen är att förhindra att styrelsen fuskar med kontrollbalansräkningen genom antedatering, eller genom att t.ex. tillämpa felaktiga värderingsprinciper. Efter avskaffandet av revisionsplikten 2010 finns det inte längre något krav på granskning för små aktiebolag i Sverige. Detta har påverkat över 350 000 aktiebolag och riskerar att utgöra ett reellt hot mot borgenärsskyddet. Syftet med studien är således att undersöka hur avskaffandet av revisionsplikten har påverkat borgenärsskyddet i kapitalbristlagstiftningen. En kvalitativ innehållsanalys har tillämpats för att besvara studiens syfte. En granskning av myndighetsdokument, offentliga utredningar, förarbeten och lagtexter har genomförts för att få en helhetsbild för det befintliga rättsläget. Vidare har juridisk doktrin och lagkommentarer från auktoritativa parter samt kommentarer från dags- och kvällstidningar granskats i syfte att åskådliggöra eventuella tillkortakommanden med kapitalbristreglerna efter avskaffandet av revisionsplikten. Granskningen ligger till grund för den kronologiska genomgång som resultatet bygger på. Våra slutsatser påvisar att kapitalbristreglerna i första hand ämnar att skydda bolagets borgenärer. Det har i lagens förarbeten identifierats meningsskiljaktigheter angående vilka intressenter som faktiskt tillgodoses av revisorsgranskningen som kapitalbristreglerna till stor del lutar sig mot. Studien har också funnit att ett flertal auktoritativa myndigheter såsom Ekobrottsmyndigheten, Riksrevisionen, Brottsförebyggande rådet och Skatteverket har riktat kritik mot avskaffandet av revisionsplikten och dess effekter. Den slopade revisionsplikten kvarstår alltjämt, trots kritiken, vilket tyder på att företagarorganisationerna som stödjer reformen tillsammans utgör ett inflytelserikt intressentkollektiv. Slutligen kan konstateras att avskaffandet av revisionsplikten har försämrat det skydd som borgenärer tidigare åtnjutit genom 25 kap. 13-18 §§ ABL. Då revisorns oberoende granskning utgjort en grundpelare i kapitalbristlagstiftningen så förefaller den befintliga lagen inte vara ändamålsenlig i syfte att skydda ett borgenärskollektiv. / A basic principle for a limited company is that the shareholders have no personal responsibility for the company’s liabilities. In order to protect general creditors the Swedish Companies Act contains several capital protection rules. Chapter 25 in the Swedish Companies Act contains the so-called capital shortage rules. The rules are based on the fact that when a critical capital shortage has arisen, the board must observe a certain pattern of action that aims to either restore the shareholders’ equity, or petition the court for a liquidation order. If the board of directors fails to take the measures prescribed by law, these individuals may become jointly and severally liable for obligations that incur during the period of such failure to act. A fundamental premiss for the purpose of protecting the company’s creditors is that the balance sheet for liquidation purposes needs to be examined by the company’s auditors. The purpose of the auditors examination is to prevent the board from cheating with the balance sheet for liquidation purposes by backdating, or by applying incorrect valuation principles. After the abolition of the audit obligation in 2010, there is no longer any requirement for auditing for small limited companies in Sweden. This has affected more than 350 000 companies and risks being a real threat to the creditor protection. Thus, the purpose of the study is to examine how the abolition of the audit obligation has affected the credit protection in the capital shortage rules. A qualitative content analysis has been applied in order to fulfill the purpose of the study. An examination of government documents, public investigations, preparatory works and legal texts has been carried out in order to identify the existing legal situation. Furthermore, legal doctrine and legal comments from authoritative parties as well as comments from daily and evening newspapers have been examined in order to illustrate eventual shortcoming with the capital shortage rules, after the abolition of the audit obligation. The examination forms the basis of the chronological review on which the result is based on.Our conclusions prove that the capital shortage rules primarily aim to protect the company’s creditors. Disagreements have been identified in the law’s preparatory works regarding which stakeholders that actually are catered by the auditors’ audit on which the capital shortage rules are based on. The study has also found that a number of authoritative authorities such the Swedish Economic Crime Authority, Swedish National Audit Office, Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention and the Swedish Tax Agency have criticized the abolition of the audit obligation and its effects. The abolished audit obligation still remains, despite the criticism, which indicates that the corporate organizations that support the reform, together constitute an influential stakeholder collective. Finally, it can be stated that the abolition of the audit obligation has impaired the protection that creditors previously enjoyed through Chapter 25 sections 13-18 in the Swedish Companies Act. Since the auditor’s unbiased review constituted a cornerstone of the capital shortage rules, the existing law does not appear to be appropriate in order to protect a creditor’s collective. This paper is hereinafter written in Swedish.

A internação involuntária é uma medida controversa que pode levar a violação de vários direitos humanos. Nessa perspectiva, faz-se necessária uma legislação para definir e limitar as circunstâncias em que isso pode ocorrer. Políticas e leis bem formuladas podem promover o desenvolvimento de serviços acessíveis na comunidade, estimular campanhas de sensibilização e de educação, e estabelecer mecanismos legais e de supervisão para prevenir violações aos direitos humanos. Nesse contexto, este estudo descritivo-comparativo apresentou como objetivo analisar as semelhanças e diferenças entre as legislações em saúde mental relacionadas à internação psiquiátrica involuntária no Brasil e Inglaterra/País de Gales. Utilizou-se para o levantamento de dados de pesquisa bibliográfica e pesquisa documental. A análise foi realizada a partir da Lista de Checagem da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) para a Legislação de Saúde Mental. Para a etapa de comparação dos dados das duas jurisdições, foi utilizado o método comparativo. Sobre os resultados da comparação da Lista de Checagem da OMS com as legislações do Brasil e Inglaterra/País de Gales, na legislação brasileira foram encontrados 52 (31,32%) dos 166 padrões da OMS, enquanto que na legislação da Inglaterra/País de Gales foram encontrados 90 (54,2%). A partir da análise foi possível concluir que: a legislação da Inglaterra/País de Gales traz procedimentos mais claros e detalhados sobre \"internação involuntária\" e possui \"mecanismos de fiscalização\" mais eficazes do que o Brasil; apesar das lacunas quanto aos procedimentos para apelações contra decisões de incapacidade e a revisão da necessidade de um tutor, a legislação apresenta uma boa cobertura sobre \"competência, capacidade e tutela\", tema de elevada importância, principalmente após a ratificação da CDPD, e que o Brasil não aborda em sua legislação; a legislação brasileira elenca um rol maior de \"direitos fundamentais\", porém não prevê \"penalidades\" quanto ao descumprimento desses direitos. Já a Inglaterra/País de Gales cobre amplamente essa questão. As principais semelhanças entre Brasil e Inglaterra/País de Gales referem-se aos padrões que necessitam de revisão: \"Pacientes voluntários\", situações de emergência\", direitos econômicos e sociais\", \"questões civis\" e \"grupos vulneráveis\". Ambas jurisdições também apresentam o mesmo nível de cobertura quanto a \"pesquisa clínica e experimental\", e \"tratamentos especiais, isolamento e restrições\". Em suma, a análise das legislações de saúde mental apresentada neste trabalho sugere que documentos internacionais de direitos humanos, como o Livro de Recursos OMS, são instrumentos importantes e que podem nortear a construção de legislações. É necessário também que a formulação de leis e políticas de saúde mental esteja articulada com os documentos internacionais de direitos humanos como a CDPD. Espera-se que o presente estudo traga a tona a reflexão das autoridades competentes sobre a necessidade de solicitar auditorias mais profundas no âmbito da legislação nacional de saúde mental, realizadas por comitês multidisciplinares, como recomendado pela OMS. A legislação de saúde mental deve estar num processo de constante evolução, centrada na busca da consolidação dos direitos das pessoas com transtornos mentais / Involuntary admission is a controversial measure that can lead to violation of various human rights. From this perspective, legislation must define and limit the circumstances in which this may occur. Well-formulated policies and laws can promote the development of accessible services in the community, stimulate awareness and education campaigns, and establish legal and supervisory mechanisms to prevent human rights violations. In this context, this descriptive- comparative aimed at analyzing the similarities and differences between the mental health\' laws related to involuntary psychiatric admission in Brazil and England/Wales. In order to collect data, the author used bibliographic and documentary research. The analysis was based on the World Health Organization\'s Checklist on Mental Heallth Legislation. To compare data from the two jurisdictions, the author used the comparative method. Results comparing the WHO Checklist with the laws from Brazil and England/Wales showed that the Brazilian legislation meets 52 (31.32%) of the 166 WHO standards, while legislation in England/Wales meets 90 (54.2%). Some conclusions resulted from the analysis: the law from England/Wales establishes clearer and detailed procedures for \"involuntary admissions\" and has \"oversight and review mechanisms\" more effective than Brazil; despite the shortcomings in the procedures for appeals against disability decisions and the review of the need for a guardian, the legislation presents a medium compliance of \"competence, capacity and protection\", a subject of high importance, especially after the ratification of the CRPD, and Brazil does not address these issues in its legislation; Brazilian establishes a larger list of \"fundamental rights\", but does not provide \"penalties\" for the breach of those rights, while England/Wales meets WHO criteria in relation to this issue. The main similarities between Brazil and England/Wales refer to standards that require review: \"voluntary patients\", \"emergency treatment\", \"economic and social rights\", \"civil issues\" and \"protection of vulnerable groups.\" Both jurisdictions also have the same level of compliance regarding \"clinical and experimental research\", and \"special treatments, seclusion and restraint\". In sum, the analysis of mental health legislation presented in this paper suggests that international human rights documents, such as the WHO Resource Book, are important tools which can guide the construction of legislation. It is also necessary that the formulation of mental health laws and policies are articulated with international human rights documents such as the CRPD. In this sense, this study may bring light for a reflection from competent authorities on the need to have audits for national mental health legislations, carried out by multidisciplinary committees, as recommended by WHO. Mental health legislation should be in a process of constant evolution, focusing on the search for the consolidation of rights of people with mental disorders

O presente trabalho se localiza entre os saberes da saúde, jurídicos e criminológicos no âmbito das internações involuntárias de usuários de drogas, com foco na lei 10.216 de 2001 e sua funcionalidade frente a uma engrenagem celular de controle social. Nesta perspectiva, a inter-relação entre o Direito e a Saúde Mental se intensifica em vários aspectos, seja no âmbito do respaldo legal para tais condutas, no contexto dos direitos e garantias constitucionais atingidos com a restrição de liberdade de um cidadão ou na esfera ideológica, com a limitação e exclusão de sujeitos sendo uma das ferramentas do controle social de determinada parcela da sociedade, concretizada por meio de políticas por vezes profiláticas e higienistas. O objetivo geral desta investigação foi compreender a percepção dos usuários de drogas internados involuntariamente em uma clínica terapêutica sobre a vivência de seus direitos humanos, com foco em situações de exclusão favorecidas pela evolução legislativa, políticas públicas e práticas dos serviços de saúde para usuários de drogas. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa com referência à abordagem dialética que utilizou-se da entrevista semiestruturada e observação participante para a coleta de dados. Os dados foram analisados por meio de análise de conteúdo. Os sujeitos participantes do estudo foram pacientes de uma Clínica Terapêutica, usuários de drogas e internados involuntariamente. Os resultados identificaram a exclusão dos usuários de drogas e a consolidação intramuros de um caráter segregador e repressor, sem o compromisso com a ressocialização e reinserção dos sujeitos vulneráveis na sociedade. As entrevistas demonstraram a ausência da percepção por parte dos usuários de drogas de seus direitos e garantias fundamentais. Ademais verificou-se um desamparo em relação aos direitos humanos e a ausência de possibilidades de reabilitação e empoderamento. Foi observado nas falas a ausência das garantias e direitos fundamentais, por vezes suspensos frente a uma instituição total consolidada. A observação participante evidenciou a Clínica Terapêutica como um espaço de exclusão referendado por um aparato legal com uma intersecção com a política criminal excludente de drogas no Brasil. Conclui-se que os usuários de drogas são pertencentes a uma parcela da sociedade excluída e fragilizada pelo objeto de consumo que acaba por mitigar e descontruir seus direitos. Desta forma, há necessidade de deixar falar o usuário de drogas, sujeito de direitos, e a dependência ao uso de drogas não deve ser vista apenas como uma enfermidade, mas também como um reflexo das políticas públicas de controle social segregacionistas que devem ser contrapostas à dignidade humana e os direitos do indivíduo. Por fim, o usuário de drogas necessita ser considerado como um sujeito de direitos e assim ter potencializada a consciência de suas garantias como cidadão e dos propósitos de qualquer cerceamento de liberdade / This work is located between health knowledge, juridical and criminological in the context of involuntary admissions of drug users, focusing on the Act 10.216 of 2001, and your functionality front of a gear of social control. In this perspective, the interrelationship between the Law and Mental Health intensifies in many aspects, either under the legal support for such conduct in the context of constitutional rights and guarantees achieved with the restriction of freedom of a citizen, or in the ideological sphere with the limitation and exclusion of subjects being one of the tools of social control in a certain part of society, sometimes concretized by prophylactic and hygienists policies. The general objective of this research was to understand the perception of drug users admitted involuntarily in a therapeutic clinic about your experience of their human rights, focusing on exclusion situations favored by legislative developments, public policies and practices of the health services for drug users. It is a qualitative research with reference to the dialectical approach that we used semi-structured interviews and participant observation. The data were analyzed by content analysis. The participants in the study were patients of one therapy clinic, drug users and hospitalized involuntarily. The results identified the exclusion of drug users and the consolidation of an internal segregating and repressive character, without the commitment to the rehabilitation and reintegration of vulnerable individuals in society. The interviews showed the lack of awareness on the part of drug users of your rights and guarantees. In addition there was a dereliction in relation to the human rights and the absence of rehabilitation and empowerment possibilities. In the speeches was observed the default of guarantees and fundamental rights, sometimes suspended against a consolidated total institution. The participant observation showed the Therapy Clinic as an exclusion space countersigned by a legal apparatus with an intersection with the exclusionary criminal drug policy in Brazil. It is concluded that drug users are belonging to a part of the excluded and weakened society by consumer object that ultimately mitigate and deconstructing your rights. Thus, there\'s a need to stop talking about the drug user, a subject of rights, and the addiction to drug use should not be seen only as a disease, but also as a reflection of public policy segregationist of social control against the human dignity and the rights of the individual. Finally, the drug user needs to be considered as a subject of rights and so have a awareness potentiated of their guarantees as a citizen and of the purposes of any retrenchment of freedom
