The present study investigated the nature of desegregation as observed by the use of space by the diverse racial groups at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (Pietermaritzburg). The researcher observed and recorded participants as they used the Hexagon Cafeteria at the University. Observations and systematic recordings were conducted in the first week in term on Monday and Tuesday over four consecutive weeks. Participants were recorded as they sat at a table and when they left the table. Their race, gender, time and table number were captured, forming data for the final analysis. The study revealed that black students were the least represented race group, in number, and were the mostly segregated from the other racial groups. Perhaps this study would have yielded different results if there were a higher proportion of black students throughout the six-day observational period. Indian students were the majority at the Cafeteria in comparison to other racial groups. It seems that the Hexagon Cafeteria is a popular meeting place for most Indian students. It can also be speculated that the Hexagon Cafeteria appears to be an ideal meeting place for most female students as they outnumbered the male students throughout the six-day observational period. Despite persistent racial segregation, points of contact (integration) were observed between the three racial groups. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2004.

Summaries in English and Afrikaans / The aim of this thesis is to search for an "ethical" interpretation of equality. Although the current South African approach of "substantive" equality is better than mere "formal" equality, I fear that even substantive equality will again deny or reduce difference. An "ethical" interpretation of equality is a way of interpretation that radically acknowledges difference and otherness. I argue for an ethical interpretation of equality as an alternative to substantive and formal equality. The intersection between public space, equality and justice is essential to such an ethical interpretation. An ethical interpretation of equality requires that present South African visions of public space must be reconstructed and transformed continuously. This means that an ethical interpretation of equality rejects finality and closure in respect of public space. The visions of public space and perspectives of equality that I support are alert to difference and otherness. My understanding of justice is that it is never fully achieved in the present. Justice functions as a future orientated ideal. The "ethical" in an ethical interpretation of equality reflects an awareness of the limits of any present system to encompass equality and justice completely. Visions of public space, perspectives on equality and landscapes of justice (the features of the ethical intersection) form the main sections of the thesis. I discuss the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) as a manifestation of the ethical intersection between public space, equality and justice. The TRC was an outstanding example of reconstruction and transformation of public space. It was a public space where each and every individual was treated equally while concrete contexts, specific circumstances and difference were taken into account. The TRC as event was inspired by the ideal of justice. The value of the TRC as a manifestation of the ethical intersection is the profound effect it may have on our interpretation of equality by demonstrating the limits of the substantive approach. / Die doel van hierdie proefskrif is om ondersoek in te stel na 'n "etiese" interpretasie van gelykheid. Alhoewel die huidige Suid-Afrikaanse benadering van "substantiewe" gelykheid beter is as blote formele gelykheid, vrees ek dat selfs substantiewe gelykheid weereens verskil sal ontken of gering skat. 'n "Etiese" interpretasie van gelykheid is 'n manier van interpretasie wat radikaal kennis neem van verskil en andersheid. Ek argumenteer vir 'n etiese interpretasie van gelykheid as 'n alternatief tot substantiewe en formele gelykheid. Die interseksie tuseen publieke spasie, gelykheid en geregtigheid is noodsaaklik vir so 'n etiese interpretasie. 'n Etiese interpretasie van gelykheid vereis dat huidige Suid-Afrikaanse visies van publieke spasie aanhoudend gerekonstrueer en getransformeer moet word. Dit beteken dat 'n etiese interpretasie van gelykheid finaliteit en geslotenheid met betrekking tot publieke spasie verwerp. Die visies van publieke spasie en perspektiewe op gelykheid wat ek ondersteun is gevoelig vir verskil en andersheid. Ek verstaan geregtigheid as nooit volkome bereikbaar in die teenswoordige nie. Geregtigheid tree op as 'n toekomsgerigte ideaal. Die "etiese" in 'n etiese interpretasie van gelykheid weerspieel 'n bewustheid van die onvermoe van enige teenswoordige sisteem om gelykheid en geregtigheid volledig te omvat. Visies van publieke spasie, perspektiewe op gelykheid en landskappe van geregtigheid (die eienskappe van die etiese interseksie) vorm die hoofafdelings van die proefskrif. Ek bespreek die Suid-Afrikaanse Waarheids-en Versoeningskommissie (WVK) as 'n manifestasie van die etiese interseksie tussen publieke spasie, gelykheid en geregtigheid. Die WVK was 'n uitstaande voorbeeld van die rekonstruksie en transformasie van publieke spasie. Dit was 'n publieke spasie waar elke individu gelyk behandel is terwyl konkrete kontekste, spesifieke omstandighede en verskil in ag geneem is. Die WVK as 'n gebeurtenis is ge'lnspireer deur die ideaal van geregtigheid. Die waarde van die WVK as 'n manifestasie van die etiese interseksie is die diepgaande effek wat dit op ons interpretasie van gelykheid kan he deur die beperkings van die teenswoordige substantiewe benadering uit te wys. / Constitutional, International and Indigenous Law / LL.D.

Estudo do tipo metodológico com abordagem psicométrica que lida com a teoria e desenvolvimento de instrumentos de medição. O percurso metodológico norteou-se nos procedimentos teóricos, empíricos e analíticos para a elaboração de instrumento psicométrico (PASQUALI, 1998), e fundamentou-se em duas teorias da privacidade (WESTIN, 1970; ALTMAN, 1975), na teoria da territorialidade (ARDREY, 1966) e na teoria proxêmica (HALL, 1986). Os procedimentos teóricos compreenderam a definição do construto privacidade física no contexto hospitalar, em especial a exposição e manipulação corporal, o qual delineou-se a partir do referencial teórico adotado, da literatura pertinente e de estudo junto a 34 pacientes internados nos hospitais de Maringá-PR, com abordagem qualitativa, utilizando-se a análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2000). Esse estudo permitiu descrever a percepção do paciente hospitalizado sobre a privacidade em geral e sobre a privacidade física, identificando-se três categorias empíricas referentes à privacidade em geral, a saber, dignidade e respeito, espaço pessoal e territorial e autonomia, e com relação à privacidade física extraíram-se iguais categorias, acrescentando-se às anteriores a categoria intimidade e toque. Tais categorias compuseram os quatro domínios do instrumento em construção. O instrumento foi submetido à análise semântica e conceitual por um painel de juízes composto por sete peritos, e na seqüência a um pré-teste junto à população-alvo, resultando em um instrumento com 22 itens, tendo o domínio dignidade e respeito 8 itens, intimidade e toque e espaço pessoal e territorial 5 itens cada, e o domínio autonomia 4 itens. Os procedimentos empíricos englobaram a aplicação do instrumento construído, Escala de Satisfação do Paciente Hospitalizado com sua Privacidade Física (ESPH-PF), a uma amostra de 254 pacientes internados na rede hospitalar de Maringá- PR, entre novembro de 2007 e fevereiro de 2008. Os procedimentos analíticos englobaram a análise da consistência interna ( de Cronbach total de 0,68 e variação entre 0,35 e 0,60 nos domínios) e a validade de construto por meio da análise fatorial, extraindo-se seis fatores (57,6% da variância total) e optando-se por manter os quatro pré-estabelecidos (47,7% da variância explicada). A validade convergente do construto utilizando-se a correlação produtomomento de Pearson (p < 0,01) e aplicação da Escala do Sentimento frente à Invasão do Espaço Territorial e do Espaço Pessoal do Paciente Hospitalizado (EMS-FIETEP), contemplou o domínio espaço pessoal e territorial da ESPH-PF e confirmou o poder discriminativo de todos os 22 itens do instrumento. A validade discriminante do construto empregando o teste t de student (p < 0,05) não encontrou diferença estatística significante, exceto nos grupos extremos relativos à escolaridade. A análise psicométrica demonstra que a ESPH-PF pode ser aplicada para medir a satisfação do paciente com sua privacidade física no contexto hospitalar, sobretudo no que diz respeito à exposição e manipulação corporal. Os resultados obtidos junto a essa população não podem ser generalizados, porém comprovam a importância de se avaliar a satisfação do paciente com sua privacidade física, visto que o nível de satisfação revela, implicitamente, as preferências e necessidades dele por privacidade, e indiretamente também reflete o desempenho dos profissionais de saúde relativo à proteção e manutenção da privacidade no hospital. / The study is of a methodological type using the psychometric approach which deals with the theory of the development of measurement instruments. The methodological apparatus is based on empirical and analytical theoretical proceedings, to the development of a psychometric instrument (PASQUALI, 1998), and is grounded in two privacy theories (WESTIN, 1970; ALTMAN, 1975), on the territoriality theory (ARDREY, 1966) and on the proxemic theory (HALL, 1986). The theoretical proceedings entailed the definition of the physical privacy construct in hospital context, especially the exposure and body manipulation, drawing on the theoretical apparatus used, the related literature and a study with thirty-four patients admitted in hospitals in Maringá-PR, with qualitative approach, using the content analysis (BARDIN, 2000). This study allowed to describe the perception of the hospitalized patient as regards general privacy and physical privacy, identifying three empirical categories concerning general privacy, namely dignity and respect, personal and territorial space and autonomy, and as regards physical privacy the same categories were extracted, adding to the previous ones the category of intimacy and touch. Such categories composed the four domains of the instrument under construction. The instrument was subjected to semantic and conceptual analyses by a panel of judges composed by seven connoisseur, followed by a pretest with the target population, resulting in an instrument with 22 items, in which the domain dignity and respect had eight items, intimacy and touch and personal and territorial space had five items each, and the domain autonomy had four items. The empirical proceedings entailed the application of the constructed instrument, Satisfaction Scale of the Hospitalized Patient with his/her Physical Privacy (ESPH-PF), to a sample of 254 patients admitted in the hospital chain of Maringá-PR between November 2007 and February 2008. The analytical proceedings entailed the internal consistency analysis (-Cronbach total of 0,68 variation between 0,35 and 0,60 in the domains) and the construct validity by means of factorial analysis, extracting six factors (57,6% of total variation) and opting to maintain the four preestablished ones (47,7% of explained variation). The convergent validity of the construct utilizing the correlation product-moment of Pearson (p < 0,01) and the application of Feeling Scale before the Invasion of Territorial and Personal Space of the Hospitalized Patient (EMSFIETEP) contemplated the domain personal and territorial space of ESPH-PF and confirmed the discriminating power of all 22 items of the instrument. The discriminating validity of the construct employing the test t of student (p < 5005) did not find significant statistical difference, except for extreme groups regarding education. The psychometric analysis shows that the ESPH-PF can be applied to measure the patients satisfaction with his/her physical privacy, once the level of satisfaction implicitly reveals his/her privacy preferences and necessities, and also indirectly reflects the performance of health professionals as regards protection and maintenance of hospital privacy.

Abstract The aim of the study was to describe Finnish patients' experiences of the regulation of personal privacy in hospital with the concept 'personal space'. The central topics of interest included the personal space and it's preservation. The right of self-determination while inpatients in hospital enables the patient to preserve personal space. Patients' experiences of personal space and it's preservation were examined by describing the significance of the preservation of personal space, other factors connected with personal space preservation, patients' means to protect their personal space preservation in the interaction with nursing staff, and the tactile, auditory, visual, and olfactory failure of personal space preservation. Patients' personal space was observed from the point of view of triangulation, and quantitative and qualitative data were integrated in the research. The purpose was to provide fresh knowledge in Finnish nursing science on patients' personal space and it's preservation in hospital, as well as to introduce the factors and concepts connected with the phenomenon of personal space to a wider public. The research material was collected in the internal medicine wards of a university hospital. The collection of data was carried out by means of a structured interview (N = 250) and the observation (N = 25) of interactive situations between patients and nursing staff. The structured questions of the interviews were analysed in the software SPSS for Windows 10.1.2. The results were presented as frequency and percentage distributions. The averages used were the mean, the mode, and the median. Cross-tabulation and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used to find out the correlation between variables. The significance of sum variables measuring auditory, visual, and olfactory invasion was tested by means of the t-test on independent groups, the one-way variance analysis, Mann-Whitney's U-test, and χ2-independence test. The open questions of the interviews and the observations were analysed with deductive-inductive content analysis. Patients' right of self-determination in relation to the nursing procedures on their own body was best implemented among the young and more educated patients. The patients protected their personal space with verbal messages related to pain and the right of self-determination, and with non-verbal messages related to body positions, gestures, expressions, eye contact as well as its avoidance, and to the use of hospital screens. The screens were used for the protection of one's own privacy and intimacy, but also for the protection of co-patients' privacy and intimacy. For the majority of the patients, the inviolability of their tactile and olfactory space were particularly important. The personal space had been invaded tactily, auditorily, and olfactorily. Significant factors affecting the experience of personal space were the patient's sex and age, the size of the patient room, the patient's coping capability in hospital, the number of treatments, and mood during hospitalisation. The failure of personal space preservation made the patients feel, above all, hurt and treated as objects. The patients found it justified for the nursing staff to touch them when assisting, but also thought that unnecessary extra taction does not belong to nursing practice. Taction by the nursing staff was mainly experienced as gentle and pain-reactive, as well as respectful of the patient's body. / Tiivistelmä Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvata suomalaisten potilaiden kokemuksia yksityisyyden säätelystä sairaalassa henkilökohtaisen tilan avulla. Mielenkiinnon kohteina olivat henkilökohtainen tila ja sen säilyminen. Potilaan itsemääräämisoikeuden toteutuminen hoidon aikana mahdollistaa henkilökohtaisen tilan säilymisen. Potilaiden kokemuksia henkilökohtaisesta tilastaan ja sen säilymisestä selvitettiin kuvaamalla henkilökohtaisen tilan säilymisen merkityksellisyyttä, henkilökohtaisen tilan säilymiseen yhteydessä olevia tekijöitä, potilaiden keinoja suojata henkilökohtaisen tilansa säilyminen ja henkilökohtaisen tilan säilymisen taktiilista, auditiivista, visuaalista ja olfaktorista epäonnistumista. Potilaan henkilökohtaista tilaa tarkasteltiin triangulaation näkökulmasta ja tutkimuksessa yhdistettiin kvantitatiivinen ja kvalitatiivinen aineisto. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli saada uutta suomalaista hoitotieteellistä tietoa potilaan henkilökohtaisesta tilasta ja sen säilymisestä sairaalassa sekä tehdä tunnetuksi henkilökohtaisen tilan ilmiöön liittyviä tekijöitä ja käsitteitä. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin yliopistollisen sairaalan sisätautien klinikan vuodeosastoilla. Aineisto kerättiin strukturoidulla haastattelulla (N = 250) ja havainnoimalla (N = 25) potilaan ja hoitotyöntekijän välisiä vuorovaikutustilanteita. Haastattelujen strukturoidut kysymykset analysoitiin SPSS for Windows 10.1.2 -ohjelmalla. Tulokset esitettiin frekvenssi- ja prosenttijakaumina. Keskilukuina käytettiin keskiarvoa, moodia ja mediaania. Muuttujien välisten riippuvuuksien selvittämiseksi käytettiin ristiintaulukointia ja Spearmanin korrelaatiokerrointa. Auditiivista, visuaalista ja olfaktorista loukkaamista mittaavien summamuuttujien merkitsevyyden testaamiseksi käytettiin riippumattomien ryhmien t-testiä, yksisuuntaista varianssianalyysiä, Mann-Whitneyn U-testiä ja χ2-riippumattomuustestiä. Haastattelujen avoimet kysymykset ja havainnoinnit analysoitiin deduktiivis-induktiivisella sisällön analyysillä. Potilaiden itsemääräämisoikeus suhteessa omaa kehoa koskeviin hoitotoimenpiteisiin toteutui parhaiten nuorten ja enemmän koulutettujen potilaiden kohdalla. Potilaat käyttivät henkilökohtaisen tilansa suojaamiseksi erilaisia kipuun ja itsemääräämisoikeuteen liittyviä verbaalisia viestejä ja kehon asentoihin, eleisiin, ilmeisiin, katsekontaktiin ja sen välttämiseen sekä väliverhojen käyttämiseen liittyviä nonverbaalisia viestejä. Väliverhoja käytettiin suojaamaan omaa yksityisyyttä ja mahdollistamaan oma intimiteettisuoja, mutta myös suojaamaan potilastoverin yksityisyyttä ja mahdollistamaan hänelle intimiteettisuoja. Potilaat kokivat merkityksellisenä erityisesti taktiilisen ja olfaktorisen tilan säilymisen loukkaamattomana. Henkilökohtainen tila oli tullut loukatuksi taktiilisesti, auditiivisesti ja olfaktorisesti. Henkilökohtaisen tilan kokemiseen merkityksellisenä olivat yhteydessä potilaan sukupuoli, ikä, potilashuoneen koko, selviytymiskyky sairaalassa, hoitokertojen määrä ja mieliala sairaalassa. Henkilökohtaisen tilan säilymisen epäonnistuminen aiheutti potilaille etenkin pahaa mieltä ja itsen kokemista esineeksi. Potilaat oikeuttivat hoitotyöntekijän kosketuksen autettaessa, mutta turha ja ylimääräinen kosketus ei kuulu hoitotyöhön. Hoitotyöntekijän kosketus koettiin pääasiallisesti hellävaraiseksi, kivut huomioon ottavaksi ja kehoa kunnioittavaksi ja arvostavaksi.

The primary purpose of this study is to identify those people at most risk of being bullied at work. While much research is being conducted on school bullying, little has been conducted on workplace bullying. Using data gathered from a 2004 study conducted by the National Opinion Research Center for the General Social Survey, which included a Quality of Work Life (QWL) module for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), linear regressions indicated significant findings. As predicted, workers in lower level occupations, as ranked by prestige scoring developed at National Opinion Research, are more likely to be victimized. Data also suggest that being young, Black, and relatively uneducated may contribute to being bullied in certain situations. Future research is needed to examine influences of socio-economic, legal, and other demographic factors that may predict the chance of being bullied.
