Ondersteuningstelsels vir verpleegkundiges in geselekteerde hospitale in die Oos-KaapDu Preez, Catharina Maria 01 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / 'n Opname is onder verpleegkundiges in diens van geselekteerde hospitale
onderneem ten einde te bepaal watter ondersteuningstelsels tans in die hospitale
vir verpleegkundiges beskikbaar is. Daar is ook bepaal hoe effektief hierdie
ondersteuningstelsels benut word, en indien nie waarom nie en ten laaste of
ondersteuningstelsels as 'n vereiste fasiliteit gesien word.
Die leemtes betreffende ondersteuningstelsels in hierdie hospitale is ge·identifiseer,
soos die gebrek van verpleegbestuur om outokratiese en burokratiese
bestuurstyle met deelnemende bestuurstyle te vervang.
Daar bestaan ook leemtes in ondersteuning by die beplanning van verpleegsorg,
wat moontlik toegeskryf kan word aan verpleegbestuur se swak deelname en
betrokkenheid by verpleegsorgbeplanning.
Aanbevelings is geformuleer om hierdie leemtes aan te spreek.
Tydens orientering behoort alle nuwe personeel ingelig te word oor die hospitaalbeleid,
sodat doelstellings gesamentlik beplan kan word. Die funksie van bestuur
en hulle bydrae tot personeelondersteuning behoort deel van die orienteringsprogram
te vorm / A survey to establish which support systems are at present available to nurses,
was undertaken in selected hospitals. It was determined how effective these
support systems have been utilised, and if not, why not and whether the support
systems were seen as an essential facility.
The failure of nursing management to replace autocratic and burocratic
management styles with participative management styles is a deficiency in the
support systems of these hospitals.
There is also a need for support in the planning of nursing care. This can
possibly be due to the nurse manager's poor participation and involvement in the
planning of nursing care.
Recommendations were formulated to address these needs.
During orientation all new personnel should be informed of hospital policy to
enable them to plan collectively, to accomplish objectives. The functions of
management and their contribution towards personnel ought to form part of the
orientation programme / Agriculture and Environmental Sciences / M.A. (Verpleegkunde)

"On se Débrouille": Congolese migrants' search for survival and success in Muizenberg, Cape TownOwen, Joy N January 2011 (has links)
Situated in a Congolese transnational 'community' in Muizenberg, a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa, the thesis focuses on the lives of three middle class Congolese male informants. Their contingent acquaintance with a South African white Christian man gave them access to valuable social capital; social capital that positioned them advantageously to date and eventually marry European white women and thereby further their culturally-defmed economic/material career goals. To demonstrate the socio-economic trajectory of the three, I compare their social positioning with other Congolese men and women resident in Muizenberg. I show how these men and women, like my three main informants, activate their Congolese 'habitus' to secure access to social networks and the social capital therein. The difference between these Congolese men and women and my three main informants, however, is their strategic use of contingency, and the instrumental capitalisation of their cultural capital through the creation of a client-patron relationship with a South African in order to further their life goals. The thesis reorientates the migration literature on African migration from a focus on the implications of migrant remittances to the home country, to a focus on individual migrants' agency in the host country and the cultural influence of the society of origin. While I acknowledge that my research participants are part of a transnational social field, the focus on one locality and the relatively longitudinal approach of the study grounds the analysis both in the day-to-day lives of these migrants and in their migrant careers in and beyond Muizenberg and South Africa. With this orientation, the thesis is able to reveal that some Congolese migrants are comfortable to create a holding place for themselves in South Africa, while others - ever aware of the Congolese ambition to travel overseas - migrate beyond South African borders. For these Congolese migrants, South Africa is then a transit space. Fundamentally, all of my research participants give expression to Mobutu's edict of on se debrouille (literally, 'one fends for oneself), but some are more able to achieve the ultimate aspiration of settling in the First World -lola.

An investigation of the Democratic Alliance's political public relations campaign in the 2009 South African general elections including how social networking site Facebook was leveraged to help increase the party's vote-shareDhawraj, Ronesh 06 1900 (has links)
This thesis examines the political public relations campaign of the Democratic Alliance in the 2009 elections in order to explain the party’s performance in these elections. The research is premised on John Petrocik’s (1996) issue ownership theory. A number of quantitative and qualitative content analyses were conducted to provide answers to the main research questions. These involved: the party’s 286 media releases; party leader Helen Zille’s 2009 campaign speeches; and Zille’s Facebook platform. Results revealed that although the DA demonstrated extreme political resilience amidst fierce challenges in the 2009 elections, the party primarily campaigned on an anti-ANC ticket and a fair amount of negative advertising against the governing party to win itself votes. Not only did the party fail to “associate” itself with real issues affecting South African voters—especially the poor Black African majority which constitutes the largest voting bloc—it failed to pronounce itself clearly on other issues. Instead, the party attached itself to a multitude of shared issues, often “trespassing” on issues of common concern not necessarily “owned” by any one political party. This study also deduced that while Facebook facilitated public opinion on the DA in the 2009 elections, it still could not be regarded as a genuine public sphere in the South African context. / Communication Science / M.A. (Communication)

The James 1:27 trust programme : a case study of an information, communication and technology (ICT) response to orphans and vulnerable children in the context of an HIV and AIDS epidemicBotha, Robert Anthony 03 1900 (has links)
This case study examines the James 1:27 Trust as an information, communication and
technology response to the plight of orphans and vulnerable children within the context of an
HIV and AIDS epidemic. The James 1:27 Trust demonstrates how social networks can be
mobilized in support of children at risk. The use of business information and management
systems to administer concepts such as “virtual adoption” is deemed an important innovative
contribution. The James 1:27 Trust and its model is studied as a contributor in finding solutions
to scale and multiply levels of care by community and faith-based organisations to orphans and
vulnerable children. The James 1:27 Trust is located at the Innovation Hub in Pretoria, Africa’s
first internationally accredited science park. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Behaviour in HIV/AIDS))

Missing the present for the unkown : the relationship between fear of missing out (FoMO) and life satisfactionJood, Tsholofelo Ella 04 1900 (has links)
Fear of missing out (FoMO) is a type of internet slang used to describe the “pervasive apprehension that others might be having rewarding experiences from which one is absent” (Przybylski, Murayama, DeHaan & Gladwell, 2013, p. 1841). This pervasive fear encompasses an individual’s life and it is exacerbated by the social media updates of online counterparts. A study conducted by a South African pharmaceutical company revealed that 62% of the respondents have a constant fear of missing out on something that might be happening elsewhere. This study underscores the relevance of
studying FoMO as a construct in the South African context. The current study aims to investigate the relationship between FoMO and satisfaction with life, as these two constructs have previously shown to be negatively correlated. The self-proclaimed FoMO sufferers who will be partaking in this study will be requested to complete an online questionnaire to establish the nature of the relationship between FoMO and satisfaction with life. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)
