Bemagtiging van kliënte in die maatskaplike werk binne die konteks van armoedeOberholzer, Petra Malan 06 1900 (has links)
Summaries in English and Afrikaans / Text in Afrikaans / Die probleem van armoede is aangespreek deur middel van die groepwerkproses, waardeur mense sodanig bemagtig is dat die kringloop van armoede verbreek kon word. 'n Kwasi-eksperimentele navorsingsontwerp is gebruik met die groepwerkprogram as onafhanklike veranderlike en die algemene tevredenheid en graad van bemagtiging van die groeplede as die afhanklike veranderlikes. Slegs die voorondersoekgroep en twee eksperimentele groepe is aan die program onderwerp, maar nie die kontrolegroepe nie. n Voor- en natoets is deur aldie groeplede voltooi, om kwantitatiewe data te versamel. K walitatiewe data is versamel deur deelnemende waarneming en doelgeribte gesprekvoering. Die belangrikste verskil tussen die resultate van die eksperimentele groepe en die kontrolegroepe, was dat eersgenoemde tot aksie oorgegaan het terwyllaasgenoemde passief gebly het. Die gevolgtrekking kan dus gemaak word dat die groepwerkprogram wei tot die bemagtiging van die groeplede gelei het wat aan die program onderwerp was. Sleutelterme: Armoede, werkloosheid, haweloosheid, kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe navorsing, eksperimentele ontwerp, beskikbaarheidsteekproef, groepwerk, bemagtiging. / The problem of poverty was addressed through the group work process, in order to empower people so that the cycle of poverty could be broken. A quasi-experimental design was used with the group work programme as the independent variable and the general contentment and degree of empowerment of the group members as the dependent variables. Only the pilot study group and the two experimental groups were exposed to the programme, while the two control groups were not. Pre- and posttests were taken of all the group members to gather quantitative data. Qualitative data was gathered by means of participant observation and purposeful conversation. The most important difference between the different groups was that action was taken by the groups subjected to the programme, whereas the control groups remained passive. It can thus be concluded that the group work programme was instrumental in empowering those group members exposed to the programme. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Work)

Participatory community development : a networking approachPistorius, Anna Gertruida 10 1900 (has links)
This thesis is an account of how a networking approach may assist participatory community
development.
The author undertakes naturalistic action research into how she can improve her social practice
with a view to gaining equal participation amongst university and community members in a
community development practicum.
She describes how efforts to maximize group participation are typically countered with various
forms of non-participation, analogous to a rebellion against authoritarianism. Dialogue with her doctoral peer group about tacit meanings from her personal history reveals that
she is too heavily invested in community involvement. A stance of irreverence gives her the
freedom to realize that her politically correct approach is conveying the message that "MY way
of participation is THE way". She embarks on a networking programme of action in the hope of
achieving more balanced participation. A multidisciplinary workshop and a study tour show her that openness to multiple inputs may
free people from restrictive views and problematic styles of participation. She initiates the
formation of a local network and finds that this is a more free-flowing structure that encourages
fluid problem solving among community, government and university participants. The author's original anxieties are, however, revived when networking, too, becomes entangled
in organizational complexities. She eventually realizes that she tends to base her actions on
premises of power and justice and that it may be helpful to base new ventures on information
flow and creativity instead. Her new approach to group facilitation elicits creative inputs from others. She finds that
deliberate debate of the assumptions on which collective undertakings are based releases an
awareness of alternative approaches to addressing unequal resource utilization in the commons. A review of the local Network's development over six years draws attention to networking
resources, and its uses, structuring and management. The author's experiences continuously
demonstrate that the assumptions of independence and freedom of choice may provide a more
satisfactory basis upon which to manage community participation. / Social Work / D.Litt. et Phil. (Psychology)

Caring for the caregiver in HIV and AIDS programmesPrimo, Marlene Wilma 31 March 2007 (has links)
Many of the caring tasks previously done by health care professionals are these days
handled by caregivers. Caregivers are selected, trained and to a certain extend
supervised. Little attention is however given to the effects that care giving has on
their physical and mental health and own needs for caring and support.
This study is an exploratory, qualitative and quantitative investigation into the effects
of care giving on the physical and mental health of caregivers in HIV and AIDS
programmes to determine their needs for ongoing support.
A literature study was supplemented by an empirical investigation. The literature
study and empirical investigation proved that care giving has a tremendous impact on
the lives of caregivers.
Recommendations resulting from the study are the need for more education and skills
for caregivers, support through counselling, debriefing and support groups, policies
and guidelines that makes provision for caregivers to be registered and receive a fixed
income. / Social Work / M. A. ((SS)(Mental Health)Social Work)

Community-based support groups for mental health care users : a social constructionist approachMeiring, Leana 11 1900 (has links)
High prevalence of mental illness in South African and limited Mental Health Care (MHC) resources call for ways to supplement the overburdened system to meet the rehabilitative and supportive needs of service users as stipulated in the MHC Act no. 17 of 2002. Various psychological, social, and financial difficulties plaguing MHC users require holistic treatment intervention to help them cope with their conditions. This study explored the meaning of a Tshwane District community-based support group for MHC out-patients to help illuminate the value the group had for the members. A Social Constructionist epistemology informed the qualitative research approach. Data were collected by conducting semi-structured interviews and employing a collage-making method. The main themes illuminated by thematic analysis suggest that the group provided the members with a sense of belonging, mental and physical mobilisation and stimulation, a source of support, multiple learning experiences, and contributed to personal transformation and growth. / Psychology / M.A. (Social Science (Research Consultation))

Phela o phedise : a case study of an income-generating project in Moganyaka communityMavalela, Hildah Ramadimetja 12 1900 (has links)
Participatory development is believed to be an essential ingredient of the development
process because it enables the people to influence the policy and decision-making process. It
facilitates the designing of and enhances the implementation of plans and programmes or projects
and that participation results in the development of ownership and belonging among the people
themselves. This feeling in turn goes a long way to ensure the success of a programme or project.
This study highlights some of the elements that led to the successful implementation of an
income-generating project with women. The study also demonstrates that the people's own ideas are
able to command adequate levels of participation, support and commitment to enhance their ability
to meet their needs. The study further looks at the ownership of the project as very important for
successful implementation and that projects or programmes should be facilitated within the means
of the local participants to manage and control them.
The elements mentioned in this study are an essential part of participatory development and enable
the people to learn to take charge of their lives and solve their own problems.
The study further looks at cultural and traditional values as an essential part of human growth,
because local action taken by the women is very important in promoting overall success of the
project. / Social work / M.A. (SS) (Mental Health)
