(Psychiatric Nursing) / The purpose of this study was to explore the experiential world of the chronic psychiatric patient In a rehabilitation centro and to sot guidelines for the psychiatric nurso to utilize the principles of restoration of merital health. Various stumbling blocks In the recovery process of chronic psychiatric patients were noticed in a rehabilitation centre. The centre Is highly structured and democratic decision making does not always transpire. The external environment Is In a residential area characterised by violence. The question arising, was to what degree the chronic psychiatric patient's experience of his/herworld In the rehabilitation centre, can contribute towards the mobilization of resources In order to facilitate the restoration of mental health of the chronic psychiatric patient and reintegration Into society.

An exploratory and descriptive qualitative study, contextual of nature, was used as research design. The method for research was phenomenological, semi· structured interviews with chronic psychiatric patients In a rehabilitation centre. The participants In this study were selected In a purposive and non-selective manner. Botes' Model for Nursing Research was used to structure the research of this study. Measures used for reliability and validity, were that of Woods and Catanzaro. The central question "How do you experience living In this rehabilitation centre?" was asked. Similar studies were Investigated In order to ascertain similarities and unique aspects of this study. Categories of experience within the unit of assessment and diagnosis from the Nursing for the Whole Person Theory, Indicated both stumbling blocks and facilitating elements. Stumbling blocks In chronic psychiatric patients' (In a rehabilitation centre) quest for wholeness were experiences of avoidance, frustration, anxiety, lack of motivation, Inability to maintain longstanding relationships and dispute.

The making of a prison presents a unique architectural situation－a building or massing of buildings which must accommodate and enforce a prescribed routine, incorporating most of the facets of human existence, while aspiring to correct deviant behavior within a hostile population. The physical presence of a prison is abhorrent to most of those who live and work within its proximity, although almost all would accede to the necessity of such facilities. The twentieth century trend has been to locate prisons in the countryside away from the urban areas that contribute heavily to their populations. These facilities function with varying degrees of success, but perhaps suffer most in rehabilitation of their urban charges; the rehabilitative process is stifled by isolating the prisoners from their families and the types of employment skills found in cities. The urban prison rehabilitation center in downtown Washington D.C. will be a low security step between prison and freedom. The facility will aspire to reintegrate the prisoner into society by exposing him to marketable skills, allowing accessibility to family, and endowing him with greater responsibility for his actions. Architecturally, the project will seek to establish an understandable order and separation of functions by drawing from the context ideas of scale, form, and rhythm while maintaining the homogeneity of a single organism. This harmonizing of architecture and idea will hopefully initiate in its inhabitants a realization of the potentials of their minds and production. / Master of Architecture

Recovery from alcoholism and substance abuse has had an ignominious history. There does not appear to be any statistics that stand up to any rigorous fact-checking which show how well treatment centers do at helping their clients to stay sober. Statistics that are used to show success rates are not considered credible and they are shockingly low. Despite these issues, substance abuse research has failed to link the historical knowledge of why people stay sober for long periods of time with what is being taught in treatment centers in hopes of creating a better, more accurate outcome. The qualitative, phenomenological research study was conducted to ascertain whether a treatment center was teaching the curriculum components that prior research studies had found allowed an addict or alcoholic to stay sober for 20 plus years. Twelve volunteer participants (i.e., nine clients and three counselors), at a treatment center located in Southeast Florida, were interviewe d regarding their perceptions of the curricula being taught in the treatment center. Patterns emerged with the clients regarding their perceptions of spirituality and 12-step programs, believing that spirituality and 12-step programs were significantly emphasized in treatment and that they were very important to their recovery when they left treatment. Counselors agreed with this finding, but felt stronger about the importance of family and social support than did the clients. Overall, the clients felt that what was emphasized in treatment was important to their recovery and intended to use their new knowledge in helping them stay sober. Implications for treatment centers and recommendations for future studies are discussed. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Drug abuse as well as risky sexual behaviours has been identified, globally as well as in South Africa, as social problems with dire consequences. Research suggests that crystal methamphetamine use leads to risky sexual behaviours such having unprotected sex, which can lead to unplanned pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections (STI's) including HIV infection. Adolescents as well as females have been identified as risk populations for both sexual risk behaviours and drug abuse. Furthermore, the Western Cape showed high rates of crystal methamphetamine addiction, especially in the under 20 age category, and the highest increase in the incidence of HIV infections in South Africa. This may be indicative of the magnitude of the problem of risky sexual behaviours in the context of crystal methamphetamine use in the Western Cape.
