Familien mit schizophren erkrankten Eltern

Kuhn, Juliane 14 March 2011 (has links)
Vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Thematik „Familien schizophren erkrankter Eltern“ als einem speziellen Gebiet der sozialpsychiatrischen Forschung. Eine psychiatrische Erkrankung wie die Schizophrenie bzw. schizoaffektive Störung wirkt sich nicht nur auf die Patienten selbst, sondern auf die gesamte Familie aus und beeinträchtigt v. a. die psychosoziale Entwicklung von minderjährigen Kindern, die erheblichen Belastungen ausgesetzt sind. Empirische Befunde belegen die Häufigkeit von Elternschaft innerhalb der speziellen Patientengruppe und machen deutlich, dass die Anwesenheit von Kindern eine nicht selten vorkommende Konstellation ist und einen wachsenden Bedarf an Unterstützungsangeboten mit sich bringt. Die subjektive Lebensqualität der Erkrankten als ein Kriterium einer erfolgreichen Behandlung findet in einem weiteren Artikel seine Beachtung und wird in seinem Zusammenhang mit Elternschaft und Partnerschaft analysiert. Dabei wird die Notwendigkeit eines Einbezugs der familiären Situation in die Planung von Interventionen hervorgehoben und die Nutzung von Partnerschaft und Elternschaft als Ressourcen herausgestellt, die zur Steigerung der Lebensqualität der Patienten beitragen können. Die Kinder als die schwächsten Glieder in der Kette der Betroffenheit werden im dritten Artikel bezüglich ihrer speziellen Belastungssituation betrachtet und es werden ihre Bewältigungsmechanismen qualitativ wie quantitativ erfasst. Dabei werden jene Copingstile diskutiert, die für die Kinder in ihrer besonderen Lage einen protektiven Faktor darstellen oder hinderlich sein können. In allen Beiträgen wird die Notwendigkeit einer Integration der Familie (Partner wie Kinder) in die Betreuung und Behandlung der Patienten hervorgehoben.:Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Einführung 4 2 Publikationen 19 2.1 Zur Prävalenz von Elternschaft bei schizophrenen Patienten 20 2.2 Lebenszufriedenheit und subjektive Relevanz von Lebensbereichen bei schizophren Erkrankten.

Föräldraskapet : En kritisk diskursanalys av föräldraskapetskonstruktion i statliga dokument om förebyggande arbete, och i media / Parenthood : A critical discourse analysis of the construction of parenthood by the government within the area of social preventive work, and in media

Persson, Evelina, Dystland, Anne-Lene January 2020 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to create an understanding of regulatory conceptions of parenthood and how these are articulated and legitimized in government documents and the media, and how this contributes to construct parenting. The empirical material consisted of the government's national strategies for parenting services (2018), two articles from Dagens Nyheter and one article from Arbetsvärlden. The data was analyzed with qualitative content analysis for two of the levels in Fairclough's critical discourse analysis: textual and social practice. The result shows two discourses in the state document that describe parenthood, the “equality discourse” as well as “the child's needs and right to a good parenting - discourse”. The use of language in the material attributes importance to parenting. This has consequences in social practice when the desired parenting behavior requires sufficient parental ability, a good relationship to both children and partners, as well as equal parenting. This constructs a framework for what is seen as deviant parental behaviors. The understanding of parenthood created through discourses in the state document is largely in line with how the discourses are portrayed in media. Equal parenting is seen as a future normality, while there are discursive disagreements about the problem of achieving this between the two social domains. Awareness of the role of meaning created by linguistics on social practice (as a social worker, other actor, and parent), provides greater choice and opportunity for resistance to counter the constructs of parenthood.

Gestion autonomique de la QoS au niveau middleware dans l'IoT / Automatic QoS management at the middleware level in IoT

Banouar, Yassine 21 September 2017 (has links)
L'Internet connaît à nouveau une expansion drastique. En plus des terminaux classiques, il permet aujourd'hui d'interconnecter toute sorte d'objets connectés permettant la capture d'événements depuis l'environnement considéré, mais également le contrôle à distance de cet environnement. Plusieurs milliards de ces objets sont ainsi amenés à l'horizon 2020 à contribuer à l'avènement de l'Internet des Objets (IoT). Ce paradigme, qui étend le concept de Machine-to-Machine (M2M), ouvre la voie à de nouveaux usages tels que la domotique, la télésurveillance, ou encore les usines du futur. Plusieurs architectures ont été proposées pour structurer l'IoT. Leur fondement est basé sur une vision en quatre niveaux : le niveau Équipement, qui comporte les objets connectés, le niveau Réseau contenant les différentes technologies nécessaires aux échanges, le niveau Intergiciel (ou Middleware) qui offre aux applications une couche d'abstraction des niveaux sous-jacents, et enfin le niveau Application qui consiste en l'ensemble des applications concourant, via leurs interactions avec les objets connectés, à la réalisation d'une activité métier. Nos travaux se positionnent au niveau Middleware sur la base de l'architecture définie dans le cadre des standards SmartM2M puis oneM2M. Plusieurs problématiques sont amenées à être (re)-posées dans ce contexte. Nous nous intéressons essentiellement à celle de la qualité de service (QoS - Quality of Service) exprimée par certaines applications métiers. Les solutions proposées en réponse à cette problématique concernent principalement le niveau Réseau. Au niveau Middleware, les standards se focalisent essentiellement sur la proposition d'architectures et de services fonctionnels. Les besoins non fonctionnels, typiquement orientés QoS, ne sont que peu ou pas considérés. Parallèlement, les solutions propriétaires ne considèrent pas l'évolution dynamique du contexte et des besoins. Face à ces limites, nous proposons une approche de gestion dynamique, i.e. durant l'exécution du système, et autonome induisant un minimum d'intervention humaine. La gestion proposée, guidée par des modèles, porte sur des actions de reconfiguration comportementales et structurelles touchant au trafic applicatif et/ou sur les ressources de niveau Middleware / The Internet is experiencing a drastic expansion again. In addition to conventional terminals, it now allows to interconnect all kinds of connected objects allowing the capture of events from the considered environment, but also the remote control of this environment. Billions of these objects are thus led in 2020 to contribute to the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT). This paradigm, which extends the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) concept, paves the way for new uses such as home automation, remote monitoring, or even the factories of the future. Several architectures have been proposed to structure the IoT. Their foundation is based on a vision in four levels: (1) Equipment level, which includes the IoT equipment, (2) Network level containing the various technologies for data exchanges, (3) Middleware level, which offers applications an abstraction layer for underlying levels, and finally, (4) Application level, which consists of the set of applications contributing, via their interactions with the connected objects, to the realization of a business activity. Our work is positioned at Middleware level and is based on the architecture defined in the SmartM2M and then oneM2M standards. Several challenges have to be (re)considered in this context. We are mainly interested in the Quality of Service (QoS) issue expressed by some business applications. Proposals addressing this issue essentially target the Network level. For the Middleware level, standards focus mainly on the proposal of architectures and functional services. The non-functional requirements, typically QoS, are little or not considered. Meanwhile, proprietary solutions do not consider the dynamic evolution of the context and requirements. In response to these limitations, we propose a dynamic management approach, i.e. during the execution of the system, and autonomous, i.e. without human intervention. The proposed management, guided by models, focuses on behavioural and structural reconfiguration actions related to application traffic and/or Middleware resources.

Stress chez les nouveaux parents et amour conditionnel

Cournoyer, Alexandra 08 1900 (has links)
Cette étude transversale a investigué le lien entre le regard conditionnel négatif perçu, le stress et l’ajustement dyadique durant la transition à la parentalité, une période caractérisée par des difficultés au niveau du couple. Après avoir été recrutés, des couples de parents primipares québécois (n=137) ont répondu à un questionnaire en ligne. Des analyses d’équations structurelles avec le modèle « Actor-Partner Interdependance Mediation Model » ont été conduites afin d’investiguer les influences dyadiques et réciproques du regard conditionnel négatif perçu sur l’ajustement dyadique du couple. Au niveau des effets acteurs, les résultats démontrent que pour les deux partenaires, le stress est un médiateur partiel dans la relation entre le regard conditionnel négatif perçu et l’ajustement dyadique. Cependant, au niveau des effets partenaires, il n’y avait pas d’effet de médiation entre ces variables. Néanmoins, certains effets partenaires intéressants ont été trouvés: 1) le regard conditionnel perçu par les mères biologiques avait une influence sur l’ajustement dyadique de leur partenaire et 2) l’ajustement dyadique des mères biologiques était influencé par le regard conditionnel négatif perçu par leur partenaire. Pour conclure, ses résultats informent la littérature de deux façons importantes : 1) le regard conditionnel négatif perçu par un des partenaires a des effets sur son propre ajustement dyadique et sur celui de son partenaire et 2) le stress est un des mécanismes par lequel le regard conditionnel négatif perçu par un des partenaires diminue son propre ajustement dyadique. / This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between perceived conditional negative regard (a behavior that thwarts basic psychological needs), stress, and dyadic adjustment during the transition to parenthood. Primiparous couples (n=137) of 6-months old babies were recruited to fill out an online questionnaire. Structural equation model analysis with an Actor-partner interdependence mediation model were conducted. Results show that for each partner, stress partially mediated the link between perceived conditional negative regard and dyadic adjustment (actor effects). For the partner effects, stress was not a mediator between these variables. However, some partner effects were found: 1) Bearing mothers’ perceived conditional negative regard was associated with partners’ dyadic adjustment, and 2) Partners’ perceived conditional negative regard was associated with bearing mothers’ dyadic adjustment. Overall, the findings shed light on the dyadic influences of conditional negative regard and the mechanisms through which it decreases dyadic adjustment during the transition to parenthood.

Role médií jako informačního zdroje rodičů na mateřské a rodičovské dovolené / The role of the media as an information source for parents on maternity and parental leave

Caithamlová, Kateřina January 2021 (has links)
The diploma thesis focuses on the role of the media in the lives of parents on maternity and parental leave and how they satisfy their needs through use of media. The thesis is based on the uses and gratification theory and especially on the typology of media-personal interactions defined by Denis McQuail. The aim of the thesis is to find out, through twenty interviews with mothers and fathers living in the household with a child or children, for what purpose the media are used by this specific group. The thesis includes a theoretical anchoring of the approach of uses and gratification theory concerning its historical development during the 20th century, but it also focuses on its concept at present after the spread of new media. The theoretical part of the thesis also deals with the characteristics of maternity and parental leave and it tries to identify everyday activities associated with this period and its positive and negative aspects. The methodological part describes the area of qualitative research and related procedures, including the choice of data collection method, which is a semi-structured interview, and the characteristics of the research sample. The analytical part interprets the findings resulting from the data obtained through interviews with respondents. The discussion and conclusion of...

Föräldraskap och intellektuell funktionsnedsättning : Professionellas tankar och erfarenheter / Parenthood and Intelectual Disability : Professionals´ Troughts and Experiences

Paulsson, Linn January 2022 (has links)
Intellektuellt funktionsnedsatta personers rättigheter och levnadsomständigheter har avsevärt förbättrats de senaste decennierna vilket även lett till att de i allt större utsträckning väljer att skaffa barn. Då den intellektuella funktionsnedsättningens begränsningar kan vara en försvårande omständighet för föräldraskapet kan dessa familjer behöva samhällets stöd. Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka tankar och erfarenheter kring de utmaningar professionella upplever i sitt arbete med att stödja dessa familjer. Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ ansats i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer med professionella som arbetar med målgruppen. Empirin har analyserats utifrån Michael Lipskys teori om gräsrotsbyråkrater vilken belyser de professionellas upplevda utmaningar i arbetet i relation till den byråkratisering och organisationsstruktur som präglar offentliga förvaltningar och leder till oönskade konsekvenser för såväl professionella som för klienter. Resultatet ger en djupare förståelse för hur organisatoriska förutsättningar kan ligga till grund för de olika utmaningar professionella upplever i sitt arbete med familjer där föräldrar har en intellektuell funktionsnedsättning. / The rights and living conditions of intellectually disabled people have significantly improved in recent decades, which has also led to them increasingly choosing to have children. Since the limitations of intellectual disability can be an aggravating circumstance for parenthood, these families may need the support of society. The purpose of the study has been to investigate thoughts and experiences about the challenges professionals experience in their work to support these families. The study has been conducted with a qualitative approach in the form of semi-structured interviews with professionals working with the target group. The empiricism has been analyzed based on Michael Lipsky's theory of street-level bureaucrats, which highlights the professionals' perceived challenges in the work in relation to the bureaucratization and organizational structure that characterizes public administrations and leads to undesirable consequences for both professionals and clients. The result provides a deeper understanding of how organizational conditions can form the basis for the various challenges professionals experience in their work with families where parents have an intellectual disability.

"One of the Proudest Achievements:" Organized Birth Control in Indiana, 1870s to 1950s

Sorensen, Carrie Louise January 2006 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Local birth control advocates often found themselves attempting to open birth control clinics in restrictive climates that did not welcome open discussions of sexuality. To accomplish this, the organizers chose their tactics carefully and followed common strategies. After a few stumbles, organized birth control in many states began in earnest in the 1930s. By 1943, just ten years after its opening, the Indianapolis birth control clinic could boast that it had served 4,531 women and openly solicit funds from the community. The Maternal Health League’s plea on its fundraising brochure assured citizens of their patriotic duty to help. The league reminded Hoosiers, “In War and In Peace a Nation is as Strong as the Health of Its Mothers and Children.” Arguments such as these allowed the clinic to open and assured its existence for many years to come. Indiana birth control organizers relied on specific tactics that allowed them to accomplish their goals in a restrictive Midwestern state. Indiana’s birth control story offers modern-day readers a very different picture than that offered by studies of the national movement of birth control. Indiana offers an account that relies more on cooperation and less on confrontation.

L'expérience de la parentalité de parents d'enfants placés de façon permanente auprès d'un membre de la famille élargie par les services de protection de la jeunesse au Québec

Dorval, Amilie 09 1900 (has links)
Dans l’ensemble de la littérature sur le placement, peu d’attention est accordée aux parents d’origine et ce constat n’est que plus saillant dans les écrits portant plus spécifiquement sur le placement auprès de membres de la famille élargie. L’examen critique des écrits sur le sujet montre que les parents vivent différentes émotions complexes, parfois même contradictoires suite au placement de leur enfant. Il ressort notamment des études recensées que plusieurs parents expriment ne pas se sentir entendus et considérés par le système de PJ. La thèse a pour objectif de comprendre l’expérience des parents ayant au moins un de leur enfant confié de façon permanente à un membre de la famille élargie par les services de protection de la jeunesse, et ce, en leur donnant une voix réelle dans la recherche. La thèse mobilise une théorisation de la parentalité proposée par Houzel (1999) et Sellenet (2007). Les auteurs définissent la parentalité selon trois axes: l’expérience, la pratique et l’exercice de la parentalité. Ces trois axes ne peuvent être complètement dissociés et sont étroitement liés les uns aux autres. Bien que ce cadre n’ait pas été développé au départ pour appréhender la parentalité d’enfants placés, il semble pertinent et approprié pour la thèse. La perspective de la thèse est de nature qualitative et exploratoire puisqu’aucune étude n’a été réalisée sur la pratique et l’expérience vécue des parents à qui l’on a retiré un enfant pour le confier à un membre de la famille élargie. La posture méthodologique de la thèse repose sur le récit de vie. Ainsi, neuf parents d’enfants qui ont été confiés à un membre de la famille élargie par les services de PJ du Centre Intégré Universitaire de Santé et Services Sociaux-centre Sud de l’île de Montréal (CCSMTL) ont été rencontrés à deux reprises. La première rencontre vise à recueillir le récit du parent alors que la deuxième rencontre permet de faire une restitution du récit au parent et permet à ce dernier de valider le récit et d’aller un peu plus loin dans certains thèmes. Il s’agit d’une approche méthodologique qui requiert un engagement important du chercheur et plusieurs étapes d’analyses. Les résultats de la thèse font ressortir l’importance de considérer l’expérience du placement dans une perspective plus large et inclusive de la trajectoire de vie des parents. L’analyse des récits des parents fait ressortir plusieurs thèmes qui rejoignent la théorisation de la parentalité mobilisée pour la thèse. Les récits des parents témoignent du parcours parfois très difficile de certains parents et de leur entrée dans la parentalité comme une expérience bien souvent peu préparée et qui se produit dans des contextes plutôt défavorables. De plus, une typologie exploratoire émerge et montre que l’expérience vécue est, certes variée, mais également grandement influencée des enjeux relationnels passés et présentes dans les situations familiales. L’hypothèse du trauma complexe vécu par plusieurs parents émerge des analyses des récits et avance ainsi certaines réponses au vécu de la parentalité des parents rencontres. La thèse propose trois angles d’intégration de la parentalité vécue dans le contexte du placement permanent de leur enfant auprès d’une FAP. Le premier angle réitère l’aspect central des relations dans la construction de la parentalité et de manière considérable dans le contexte de placement en FAP. Le deuxième intégrant la temporalité et l’histoire de vie des parents. Enfin, le troisième angle propose une lecture critique de la parentalité en soulevant les inégalités sociales qui sous-tendent la construction sociale de la parentalité. En définitive, les résultats de la thèse révèlent les besoins prépondérants des parents et l’importance de bonifier l’offre de services destinés aux adultes autant par le réseau public de santé que par le communautaire. / In the placement literature as a whole, little attention is paid to the parents of origin, and this finding is only made more salient in the literature that focuses on placement with extended family members. A critical review of the literature shows that parents experience a variety of complex and sometimes conflicting emotions following their child's placement. In particular, the studies reviewed indicate that many parents express that they do not feel heard and considered by the youth protection system. The goal of this thesis is to understand the experience of parents who have at least one of their children permanently placed in extended family care by child welfare services by giving them a real voice in the research. The thesis mobilizes a theorization of parenthood proposed by Houzel (1999) and Sellenet (2007). The authors define parenthood along three axes: experience, practice and the exercise of parenthood. These three axes cannot be completely dissociated and are closely linked to each other. Although this framework was not originally developed to understand the parenting of children in care, it seems relevant and appropriate for the thesis. The perspective of the dissertation is qualitative and exploratory in nature as no studies have been conducted on the practice and lived experience of parents who have had a child removed from their care and placed with an extended family member. The methodological posture of the dissertation is based on life stories. Thus, nine parents of children who were entrusted to an extended family member by the youth protection services of the Centre Intégré Universitaire de Santé et Services Sociaux-centre Sud de l'île de Montréal (CCSMTL) were interviewed twice. The first meeting aims to collect the parent's story, while the second meeting allows the parent to validate the story and to go a little further into certain themes. This is a methodological approach that requires a significant commitment from the researcher and several stages of analysis. The results of the thesis highlight the importance of considering the placement experience from a broader, inclusive perspective of the parents' life trajectory. The analysis of the parents' narratives highlights several themes that align with the theorization of parenthood mobilized for the thesis. The parents' narratives attest to the sometimes very difficult journey of some parents and their entry into parenthood as an experience that is often unprepared and occurs in rather unfavorable contexts. Moreover, an exploratory typology emerges and shows that the lived experience is certainly varied, 8 but also greatly influenced by past and present relational issues in family situations. The hypothesis of complex trauma experienced by many parents emerges from the analyses of the narratives and thus puts forward certain answers to the lived experience of parenthood of the parents encountered. The thesis proposes three angles of integration of the parenthood experienced in the context of the permanent placement of their child with a family member. The first angle reiterates the centrality of relationships in the construction of parenthood and considerably so in the context of placement in a kinship care placement. The second integrates the temporality and life history of the parents. Finally, the third angle proposes a critical reading of parenthood by raising the social inequalities that underlie the social construction of parenthood. Finally, the results of the thesis reveal the predominant needs of parents and the importance of improving the services offered to adults by both the public health network and the community.

Helping with the Transition to Parenthood: An Evaluation of the Marriage Moments Program

Fawcett, Elizabeth Brinton 19 April 2004 (has links) (PDF)
In an attempt to strengthen marriages during the transition to parenthood, the Marriage Moments program was developed from Blaine Fowers' virtues based model of marital quality. Marriage Moments is a non-intrusive, mostly self-guided approach to marriage education, which is easily incorporated into childbirth education classes. The Marriage Moments curriculum stresses building marriage on a strong foundation of friendship and partnership. In this model, marital friendship is strengthened through a shared vision of life and important life goals; partnership is nurtured by the virtues of generosity, fairness and loyalty. This program was tested on 155 married couples that were expecting their first child. Couples were randomly assigned to one control or two treatment groups. The control group participated in a childbirth education class, but did not receive the Marriage Moments program. The instructor-encouraged treatment group viewed the Marriage Moments video in their childbirth education classes and were encouraged to do workbook activities by their class instructor; the self-guided treatment group couples were given the video and workbook to use at home. The Marriage Moments video is comprised of five, eight-minute segments introducing the marital virtues of friendship, generosity, fairness and loyalty. The workbook provides couples with additional information about the transition to parenthood and the possible applications of the virtues principles, including individual and couple activities. All couples were assessed using a battery of self- and spouse-report measures immediately before and after their child-birth classes and then at three and nine months after the birth of their babies. This longitudinal study examined the effect of the Marriage Moments program on marital virtues, marital quality, and intentionality. Relationship outcome measures included in this study were the Marital Virtues Profile, Revised-Dyadic Adjustment Scale, RELATE Satisfaction subscale and Transition Adjustment Scale. Treatment group couples reported high involvement in and enjoyment of the program. When asked to rate the program, couples evaluated the program as 'important' and 'worthwhile.' However, despite positive program evaluation, statistical tests revealed no consistent difference between the control and treatment groups over four times. Subgroup analysis also failed to reveal group differences when controlling for education, number of years married, and early marital distress. Suggestions for future study include contrasts of skills and virtues based curriculums, as well as high and low dosage interventions. In addition, this program should be studied in both clinical and educational settings.
