Unmet Need for Community Based Physiotherapy in CanadaWojkowski, Sarah January 2018 (has links)
This thesis includes four manuscripts with overarching objectives to identify if Canadians experience unmet need for physiotherapy. McIntyre et al.’s framework was utilized across the manuscripts to explore reasons why unmet need may exist.
The first manuscript presents a scoping review investigating unmet need for physiotherapy across Canada. The objective was to describe current evidence for unmet need for community-based physiotherapy services (CBPTS). Adults with chronic conditions versus those without, or who lived in rural versus urban communities were more likely to report unmet need for CBPTS. Availability and affordability were identified as reasons for unmet need.
The second manuscript presents a secondary data analysis of three Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) cycles (2001, 2003, 2005) for three provinces: Ontario (ON), Alberta (AB), British Columbia (BC). This study investigated factors that explain variations in self-reported unmet needs of individuals with specific chronic conditions. Unmet need for treatment of a physical health problem (PHP) was the most common type of need in all three cycles. Affordability was the only domain with significant differences between cycles in two provinces. Women were less likely than men, and older persons less likely than persons 40 – 45 years, to report unmet need for treatment of a PHP.
The third manuscript analyzed CCHS data for ON, AB and BC to investigate which socio-demographic variables were associated with reporting a visit to a physiotherapist in three cycles. People with lower income were less likely to report a physiotherapy visit compared to people with higher income. Women, and individuals with an injury or physical activity limitation were more likely to report a physiotherapy visit.
The fourth manuscript presents themes from key informant interviews that explored the partial removal of physiotherapy from the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (“delisting”). Partial delisting contributed to increased unmet need immediately following, and more than ten years post implementation. Longstanding unmet need due to affordability and availability was identified. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) / Physiotherapy is a health profession that works with people to help them stay healthy and maintain physical function. There are many people with chronic conditions who would benefit from receiving physiotherapy treatment, but are not able to do so. Three reasons that may explain why people do not receive physiotherapy are they: cannot afford to pay; cannot find a physiotherapist close to where they live or work; or they do not believe a physiotherapist will improve their health. This thesis includes four papers aimed at better understanding the reasons why people in three Canadian provinces, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, do not see a physiotherapist when their health would benefit from doing so. The results suggest that cost and the location where physiotherapy services are provided are reasons why some people do not receive physiotherapy care - even if they believe physiotherapy is needed. The findings from this thesis may help to inform the future organization and delivery of physiotherapy services.

The orthodontic treatment needs in children aged 12-15 years in a school in Khomas region, NamibiaSerebe, Catherine January 2018 (has links)
Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent) / In modern day dentistry, aesthetics forms an integral part of our social perception
almost as much as functionality. Malocclusion has been brought to the forefront of
developmental anomalies as it can affect mastication, speech as well as the
appearance of the face. Furthermore, pre-pubertal and pubertal changes have
compounded existing malocclusions in this growth period thus spiraling the need for
orthodontic treatment. Therefore, it is essential to determine the normative and selfperceived
need for orthodontic treatment in a population. The epidemiological data
collected can be used to facilitate policy changes to manage malocclusion in Khomas,
Namibia.
Aim:
The aim of this study was to determine the orthodontic treatment needs of a
population of 12-15 year-old children attending a school in Khomas and to express it
as percentages of those with subjective and objective orthodontic treatment need over
the whole sample population. The objectives were to find associations between
treatment needs and some demographic and socioeconomic factors.

Easy : a novellaDe Iacovo, Joe, University of Western Sydney, School of Contemporary Arts January 1999 (has links)
Tony is a car thief reliant on loyalty so that he may flourish. Allegiances, on Tony's map, are not fixed sites. He believes that schisms within the everyday occur mainly by design and are imposed on him. As these breaches are not necessarily within Tony's control, he adjusts their details according to his (perverse perception of ) need; to maintain/establish a semblance of identity/ control. To accomodate Tony's rhizomatic movements, his dependence on memory wavers between a reliable recalling of past anecdotes and his awesome and playful fulfillment within the moment. But his 'wonders' are manifested at the expense of those within his borders. Actions which, ultimately, contribute to Tony's entombment within an aspect of his physical identity / Master of Arts (Hons) Writing

Human motivation and psychological well-being in a sample of clinical and non-clinical adultsMiller, Kimberly A. January 2005 (has links)
Many researchers and theorists and argued that a person's psychological health and well-being require that needs are met. If needs are not met, the result is distress and attempts to compensate, both of which may lead to psychological problems. Thus, psychologists and others whose goal is to help people with psychological problems require a theory of important psychological needs.This study provides a critical review of major need theories and assessment instruments developed to operationalize those theories. Based upon this review, five needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness, purpose, and physical) were identified as being critical aspects of psychological well-being. Using a relatively new needs assessment scale, these five needs were assessed in 1,358 clinical and non-clinical adults from various sites around a Midwestern state.Results indicated a five-factor structure that was slightly different than the one originally hypothesized. This new five factor model (life direction, positive interpersonal relations, interpersonal support, competence, and ability to adapt) was found to be consistent across both the clinical and non-clinical samples. Results provided strong evidence that the measurement instrument has superior psychometric properties to previously developed instruments. Importantly, this new need assessment inventory could discriminate clinical from non-clinical samples. An additional important finding concerned self-esteem. Many researchers have argued about whether self-esteem is a need. Results here suggest that self-esteem is not a need, but is either irrelevant or may be a vague measure of several needs. Suggestions for future research and implications for clinical treatment are discussed. / Department of Psychological Science

Identification of employees needs to be addressed in the HIV/AIDS programme at Aventis Pharmaceutical CompanyLedwaba, Neria Hunadi 18 November 2003 (has links)
HIV/AIDS is the most formidable public health problem facing South Africa today. It has medical and social implications because it is incurable and leads to social problems in the lives of affected people. The epidemic poses a major challenge to everyone. The South African industry will be mostly affected by the epidemic and will therefore have an important role to play in managing the problem in an appropriate way. The researcher conducted a needs analysis with the Employee Assistance Programme practitioner of Aventis Pharmaceutical Company and the HIV/AIDS manager of Aventis. Both identified the need to do the research on the identification of employee needs to be addressed in the HIV/AIDS programme because of the problems encountered during the implementation of HIV/AIDS programmes and it’s negative effects on the company’s production. The study was conducted at Aventis Pharmaceutical Company Aventis situated in Pretoria at Silverton. The company produces and supplies medicines to many organizations in South Africa. It is the concern of Aventis management and the aim of this study to identify employees’ needs in order to address them in the HIV/AIDS programme at Aventis Pharmaceutical Company. A literature review regarding the concepts HIV/AIDS; means of transmission, stages, impact, prevention and treatment was undertaken by using relevant books and journals. A study of the literature equipped the researcher with knowledge of the theories, definitions and theoretical argumentation concerning the problem theme. A qualitative approach was utilized in this study to understand employee’s life and the meanings they attach to everyday life. The researcher utilized applied research to develop solutions for problems in the practice and to understand the problem in more detail. An exploratory research design was undertaken to develop an initial, rough understanding of the phenomenon. A semi-structured interview schedule was presented to 13 respondents from Aventis in the same way to minimize the role and influence of the interviewer and to enable a more objective comparison of the results. The data was analysed and interpreted. The tape recordings were transcribed and a research report was compiled to document the research findings. The outcome was that employees are still not fully knowledgeable about HIV/AIDS. Awareness still needs to be created and employees’ must be encouraged to attend these programmes. Employees needs were identified, conclusions drawn and recommendations made. / Dissertation (MSD (EAP))--University of Pretoria, 2004. / Social Work / unrestricted
