Förskolepersonals arbete med hållbar utveckling : En jämförande studieWiklund, Sanna, Malin, Lilliengren January 2016 (has links)
Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur förskolans personal i två kommuner arbetar med hållbar utveckling samt vilka arbetsmetoder som används i verksamheten. Studien utgår ifrån en kvalitativ forskningsmetod där vi har använt oss av semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta personer som är aktiva i förskolan. Studiens resultat är att förskolans personal arbetar med samt har kunskap om alla dimensionerna i hållbar utveckling. Arbetet genomsyrar verksamheten både omedvetet samt medvetet, dock var den ekologiska dimensionen den tydligast framträdande i studien. Vi kom dessutom fram till att barns meningsskapande uppmärksammades av förskolans personal i samspel med varandra genom samtal, barn mellan barn samt barn mellan vuxen samt såg de barnens lärande om hållbar utveckling via olika verktyg som finns tillgängliga inom verksamheten, dessutom är det talade språket grundläggande i lärandet för hållbar utveckling. Slutligen såg vi inte någon större skillnad mellan de två kommunerna i arbetet mot lärande för hållbar utveckling dock hade den mindre kommunen störst fokus på den ekologiska dimensionen medan det i den större staden fanns ett tydligare fokus på samtliga dimensioner samtidigt då de använde sig av fler verktyg för arbetet med hållbar utveckling.

South African consumers' beliefs about the link between food and health / Linda Margaret ReidReid, Linda Margaret January 2004 (has links)
Motivation: Diet and nutrition are important factors in the promotion and maintenance of good health throughout the entire life course. Their role as determinants of chronic noncommunicable diseases is well established. Alterations in diet, both positive and negative have strong effects on health throughout life. Consumers' awareness of a diet-disease relationship may stimulate interest in learning more about nutrition thus acquiring necessary knowledge for dietary improvement and disease prevention.
Objectives:
• To investigate South African metropolitan consumers beliefs and attitudes about the link between food and health.
• To explore the demographic characteristics and beliefs of South African consumers regarding the link between food and health; and to investigate whether differences exist in this belief between gender, race, age group and Living Standard Measures (LSM).
Methodology:
One thousand nine hundred and ninety seven South African adults (≥16 years), representing the four major race groups of South Africa, were selected by stratified random sampling from metropolitan areas in South Africa. The sample was weighted based on the South African 2000 National census data, to be representative of the adult metropolitan population based on gender, age and race distribution. Trained field workers administered the questionnaire by conducting face-to-face interviews with South African consumers. The questionnaire was designed by a multidisciplinary team and contained a number of statements on eating habits, food and health.
Results:
There were no practically significant differences in consumers' responses in terms of gender or age. Practically significant differences were found between different race and LSM groups for some variables. A small practically significant difference was observed among the races in statement 1, and between LSM 2 to 3 and LSM 7 to 10; and between LSM 4 to 6 and LSM 7 to 10 in statement 1 and statement 6. In statement 2, a small practically significant difference was observed between Whites and Coloureds. Statement 4 indicated a small practically significant difference between Blacks and Indians. A medium practically significant difference was found between LSM 2 to 3 and LSM 7 to 10 for statement 4. A small practically significant difference was evident between Whites and Blacks; and between Blacks and Coloureds in statement 6. A medium practically significant difference was found between Blacks and lndians in statement 6. The overall response of South African consumers towards the belief that food has an effect on health, that food can influence health and the development of some diseases, and that healthy food is only for people that have a disease, was very positive. However 56% of South African consumers do not want to have to think about disease when choosing food.
Conclusion:
Results from this study reveal that South African consumers have some understanding of the dietdisease relationship and believe that there is some link between food and health. This belief however differs between age, gender, race and LSM group. However, more research with regards what influences people's eating behaviour, attitudes towards healthy food and beliefs about the dietdisease relationship needs to be done in South Africa. / Thesis (M.Sc.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005

Comprehensive school-health services in selected secondary schools in the North West province / Elizabeth Petronella Johanna de KlerkDe Klerk, Elizabeth Petronella Johanna January 2013 (has links)
Adolescents who are subjected to adverse health risks which limit school attendance and academic performance, is a national as well as an international recognised problem considering healthy youth to be productive members of society. The South African Department of Health has introduced a re-engineering program for primary health care of which school-health is one of three main areas of the primary health care services focusing on, but not limited to immunization, teenage pregnancy, education about HIV/Aids, and screening for health problems such as poor eyesight and hearing impairment. During October 2012 the new school-health program was piloted in very poor schools in KwaZulu Natal, Gauteng and Limpopo and will over the next four years be implemented in poor Secondary Schools.
The aim of this research was to explore and describe comprehensive school-health services in two selected secondary schools in the North West province in order to propose recommendations to enhance adolescents' quality of life. The researcher used an explorative, descriptive, holistic multiple case study to gather rich data from two separate institutions (secondary schools) to reach the following objectives:
* To identify and describe the demographic profile from existing records/documents available at each selected secondary school.
* To explore and describe how comprehensive school-health services are experienced by key stakeholders, in two selected secondary schools in the North West province.
* To explore and describe the perceptions of key stakeholders on how comprehensive school-health services should be rendered in two selected secondary schools in the North West province to enhance the quality of life of the adolescent. A description of the demographic profile was possible by means of a demographic data sheet completed by the principal to understand the background of each school included in the research. Rich information of key stakeholders' experiences and views about comprehensive school-health services was gained by four focus group interviews. Results of the data analysis showed a lack of comprehensive school-health services to adolescents in two secondary schools. The findings included adolescents' health problems as well as physical and emotional challenges educators are not equipped for and/or have not sufficient time to manage. Conclusions made from the research findings, contributed to recommendations for the nursing practice, nursing education and nursing research to enhance the quality of life of adolescents through comprehensive school-health services in selected secondary schools in the North West province. / MCur, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014
