Lived experiences of general nurses working in Standerton Hospital medical wards designated to be a 72-hour assessment for psychiatric patientsGule, Nozipho Felicity 11 1900 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the lived experiences of general
nurses working at Standerton hospital medical wards which also admit psychiatric
patients. A qualitative, descriptive phenomenological approach was used for the study.
The study population consisted of seven general nurses working in medical wards at
Standerton hospital. Purposive sampling was used to select participants who met the
inclusion criteria. Researcher used in-depth face to face interviews to collect data until
data saturation was achieved. Tesch’s method of qualitative data analysis was utilised to
identify themes. Three themes and five sub-themes emerged from the study: theme1:
perceived danger due to aggression sub-themes stress for medical patients, stress for
medical patients’ families and stress for nurses. Theme 2: lack of skills in dealing with
psychiatric patients’ sub- theme use of restrains. Theme 3: self fulfilling prophecy subtheme
reported incidences. The study findings demonstrate the plight of general nurses
who are not trained to work with psychiatric patients but continue to do so. Findings
further accentuate what is already known about the labelling that goes with psychiatric
patients and aggression as a resultant effect. Recommendations were made for future
research, policy makers, nursing education and practice. / M.A. (Health Studies)

A programme for developing South African adolescents' social and emotional well-beingVan der Westhuizen, Leanne 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This assignment provides a description of the cognitive, social and emotional developmental tasks
of adolescence. In addition a summary of the most prevalent social, emotional and behavioural
problems reported during this developmental phase is provided. With this information as a context,
a school-based, curricula-integrated prevention programme is then introduced as a possible tool to
facilitate the development of positive mental health among adolescents. The programme discussed,
namely Programme Achieve (2nd ed.) by Dr. M.E. Bernard of California State University, is unique
in its aim to both enhance academic achievement and social-emotional well-being. Programme
Achieve (2nd ed.) is based on Bloom's school learning theory, rational-emotive therapy and rationalemotive
education and various cognitive-behavioural and socialleaming research findings. With its
sound theoretical and research base Programme Achieve (2nd ed.) offers students the opportunity to
learn a mindset that will help them develop their full academic, emotional and interpersonal
potential. Within the South African "Draft Revised National Curriculum Statement" (2001),
provision is made for lessons pertaining to the students' personal development. In response to this,
the author explores the suitability of Programme Achieve (2nd ed.) as a means to attain the specific
Learner Outcomes and Assessment Standards as specified in the "Draft Revised National
Curriculum Statement" (2001). / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die werkstuk gee 'n beskrywing van die kognitiewe, sosiale en emosionele ontwikkelingstake
kenmerkend van adolessensie. Verder word 'n oorsig gegee van die belangrikste sosiale,
emosionele en gedragsprobleme, kenmerkend van hierdie ontwikkelingsfase. Teen hierdie
teoretiese agtergrond word 'n skool-uitkoms, kurrikula-geïntegreerde voorkomingsprogram
voorgestel as 'n moontlike hulpmiddelom die ontwikkeling van geestesgesondheid onder
adolessente te fasiliteer. Programme Achieve (2de ed.) is uniek in sy doelwit om akademiese
prestasie sowel as sosiale-emosionele welsyn te bevorder. Programme Achieve (2de ed.) is gebaseer
op Bloom se skoolleer teorie, rasioneel-emosionele terapie en rasioneel-emosionele onderrig en
verskeie ander kognitiewe gedrags- en sosiale-leer navorsingsbevindinge. Programme Achieve (2de
ed.), met sy stewige teoretiese en navorsingsbasis, gee leerders die geleentheid om 'n denkpatroon
aan te leer wat hul sal help om hulle volle akademiese, emosionele en interpersoonlike potensiaal te
bereik. Voorsiening word in die Suid Afrikaanse "Draft Revised National Curriculum Statement"
(200 1) gemaak vir onderrig ten opsigte van leerders se persoonlike ontwikkeling. Met verwysing
hierna, word die toepaslikheid van Programme Achieve (2de ed.) ondersoek as 'n middelom
spesifieke Leerder-Uitkomste en Evalueringstandaarde, soos vervat in die "Draft Revised National
Curriculum Statement" (200 1), te bereik.

Factors influencing relapse of psychiatric outpatients in the rural communities of the Eastern Cape provinceMahamba, Nozipho Deborah 11 1900 (has links)
A descriptive survey to identify factors influencing relapse of psychiatric outpatients in the
rural communities of the Eastern Cape was undertaken. A questionnaire was used to
collect data from family caregivers who were relatives of psychiatric patients receiving
their monthly medications from two rural clinics. Data were analysed using the Statistical
Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17. A total number of 92 family caregivers
participated. Respondents reported side effects of psychotropic drugs, poor family role,
poor referral system, lack of home visits, non-compliance and stigmatization as major
factors contributing to relapse of psychiatric outpatients. Active involvement of caregivers
in follow up care of their relatives is effective in fostering collaboration between the
psychiatric hospitals and patients with the common goal of relapse avoidance. It is
recommended that adequate provision of resources in conjunction with health education
is effective in enhancing collaboration towards prevention of relapse in psychiatric
patients. This would promote team work among patients, caregivers and health care
providers. / Public Health / M.A. (Public Health)

health care for 80% of the population. This is actively promoted in South Africa and is used by at

mental health care users to use a combination of traditional and modern medicine in rural areas.
The study was conducted using qualitative research methods. The population of this study were
MHCUs, Mental health practitioners and traditional healers. Purposive sampling was used to
select participants. Data was analyzed through a computer programme called Atlas TI. The
results revealed the following as contributory factors leading mental health care users to use
modern and traditional medicine in rural areas : cultural factor , belief in witch craft , influence by
significant others (family members and friends), poor PHC intervention and treatment method.

A tale of two community health facilities : exploring differencesMolefe, Nsizwa Robert Jonathan 06 1900 (has links)
This study looks at two community mental health facilities. The one setting is that of a state aided organisation, while the other is a non-government organisation (NGO). These two settings are contrasted in terms of how they conceptualise the concept 'community', their physical settings and facilities, and the activities and processes at each setting. The differences in the day-to-day operational processes, and activities according to their respective philosophies - psychiatric medical model and ecological model - are explored and captured from the participants through utilising qualitative data gathering methods such as
interviews, observations and the personal experiences of the researcher. The information obtained from each participant in both settings reflect how they think, feel and behave towards their work. This information contributes to an understanding of how community mental health clinics operate. Finally the recommendations are of how work could be done differently, making them both more community orientated. / M. A.(Clinical Psychology)
