Os assuntos investigados foram os valores e atitudes frente ao dinheiro de cada cônjuge, as estratégias de persuasão e as de evitar conflitos, a participação de cada um nas decisões de compras e as situações de aquisição nas quais os casais mais divergem ou convergem. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com seis casais, com e sem filhos, com até cinco anos de casamento.

The investigated subjects were the values and attitudes towards the money of each spouse, the strategies of persuasion and to avoid conflicts, the participation of each in the decision of purchases, the situations of acquisition in which the couples more diverge or converge. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six couples, with and without children, with up to five years of marriage. The results of this study exemplify that the figure in focus is related to the household management by the spouses; however, the background includes issues related to the life cycle, gender culture, communication, beliefs and patterns of interaction that is repeated in the family of origin, including the degree of differentiation of each member of the family system. Values and attitudes toward money are influenced by gender culture and relational dynamics. Spouses tend to make autonomous purchasing decisions when the cost of the product is low or medium and make joint decisions when the products or services are costly. Also, the repercussions of loyalties, legacies and myths are verified in the livingness of the models and ant models of the families of originof the interviewed couples, as well as concepts related to the way of dealing with money individually and maritally. The couples in this research are in the transition phase regarding gender culture, alternating, either acting in accordance with the patriarchal model or in a more balanced way, seeking integrative agreements, functional complementarities, recognizing the need for balance in the management of the household budget / Mestre

This thesis begins with the globalization that promoting female transnational migration worldwide. Then, using the social exclusion theory, through the qualitative in-depth interview method, it discusses the social exclusion experience of Indonesian, Vietnamese and Mainland Chinese spouses. It also discusses the effects of Taiwan¡¦s Care and Counseling policies for foreign spouses. Finally, policy suggestions are proposed according to related research discoveries. It finds: First, on the social exclusion, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Mainland Chinese spouses are experienced social exclusion, the dimensions are including of economic, political, social relation, cultural, spatial, and welfare. Moreover, the Vietnamese spouses tend to have greater experience of social exclusion on the dimensions of economic, political, social relation and cultural; Indonesian spouses tend to have greater experience on the economic and political dimensions; Mainland Chinese spouses tend to have greater experience on the political and welfare dimensions. However, no matter they are Indonesian, Vietnamese or Mainland Chinese spouses; they¡¦ll experience political exclusion if they don¡¦t gain their citizenships. Second, on the family adaption type, foreign spouses from Indonesia and Mainland China tend largely to belong to the ¡§adaptive type¡¨ group. By contrast, Vietnamese spouses tend to be the ¡§castle type.¡¨ As a whole, by and large most foreign spouses put great effort into adapting to their new family environment. In addition, their husband¡¦s families provide the support required for their daily lives, and accept them, allowing them to adapt to the new family environment. As such, the number of foreign spouses experiencing difficulties is minimal. Third, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Mainland Chinese spouses whose family adaption type is ¡§difficulty prone type¡¨ have higher tendencies to fall into the situation of social exclusion. By contrast, the ¡§adaptive type¡¨ group have lower tendencies to have social exclusion. Therefore, the family adaptive situation of foreign spouses has close relationship to social exclusion experiences. Among those, the acceptances of the husbands¡¦ families and individual mobility also have high influences. Fourth, the Taiwan¡¦s Care and Counseling policies for foreign spouses: 1. there are still lots of interviewees who haven¡¦t used government services. As for the ones who have used, no matter on Indonesian, Vietnamese or Mainland Chinese spouses, they mostly use the ¡§national health insurance.¡¨ And then, Indonesian and Vietnamese spouses use ¡§life adaption counseling¡¨ and ¡§supplementary and continuing education.¡¨ Mainland Chinese spouses take ¡§economic assistance,¡¨ ¡§vocational training and job referral.¡¨ 2. Most foreign spouses state that after using government services, they find them useful and with positive effects. However, family adaptive situation will influence the effects on using government services. 3. Though government services can only provide limited effects on people with low social exclusion, its services are the main supports for people with high social exclusion.

In this study, an attempt was made to determine if alcoholism counsellors tend to view their clients' wives negatively. For this purpose, a self-administered questionnaire was designed. Of the 284 questionnaires mailed to counsellors in Quebec, Ontario and New York State, 176 were returned. Several statistical tests were used to determine which factor(s) affected their opinion. It was found that American counsellors and counsellors who are recovering alcoholics tend to agree with the disturbed personality theory, adopt the codependence concept more readily, and view wives of alcoholics as more pathological than do the Canadian counsellors and the counsellors of a professional background. Further research is suggested to explore the possible cultural differences in the two countries as well as the apparent benefit of having counsellors of a professional background in treatment centers.

Risken att drabbas av demens ökar med stigande ålder. Antalet demenssjuka kommer att öka beroende på att befolkningen blir allt äldre. I och med detta ökar även antalet anhöriga som har en viktig roll i vården av den sjuke. I Sverige finns det ca 1,3 miljoner personer som ger stöd eller vård till närstående regelbundet. Demens är en diagnos för en rad symtom, med bland annat sviktande minne och nedsättning av andra kognitiva funktioner, vilket i sin tur har allvarliga konsekvenser för individer, familjer och hälso- sjukvårdssystem. De vanligaste formerna av demens är Alzheimers sjukdom, vaskulär demens och frontallobsdemens. En demenssjukdom medför ofta en stor fysisk, psykisk och social påfrestning. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa anhörigvårdares upplevelse av att leva med en närstående som drabbats av demens. Studien baseras på nio kvalitativa och två kvantitativa artiklar. Analysen resulterade i tre huvudkategorier: "Upplevelse av förändrad relation", "Upplevelse av förändrad vardag" och "Upplevelse av stödbehov". I resultatet framkom det att anhöriga upplevde en rollförändring vilket påverkade såväl relationer som anhörigas hälsa. Upplevelser av ensamhet, bundenhet och isolering var stor samt känslan av att förlora kontrollen över sitt liv. Resultatet visar även på att anhöriga kan uppleva meningsfullhet i vårdandet. Personen med demens blir ofta allt mer beroende av familjemedlemmars stöd för att klara sin dagliga livsföring. Anhöriga behöver i sin tur stöd för att hantera vardagen och för att öka känslan av trygghet i deras omsorgssituation. En sjuksköterska behöver goda grundläggande kunskaper om den kliniska bilden och symtomatologi av kognitiv nedgång för att kunna ge anhöriga värdefulla råd och information.

This thesis examines the social accommodations made by prisoners' wives as their husbands pass through various stages in the criminalization process. A combination of methods--in-depth interviews with wives, structured interviews with married prisoners, systematic examinations of prison records, summaries of women's "rap sessions," and a variety of other sources of data--were used to construct an ethnographic account of the social worlds of thirty women married to men incarcerated in two prisons in Vermont. / Wives' accounts are quite consistent with other data sources. Prisoners' wives display considerable ingenuity in devising explanations and interpretations of their husbands' criminal behavior which allow their marriages to continue. The effect of these definitions is to "normalize" this behavior and to buffer the wives from external definitions of the situations in which they find themselves. While wives vary these interpretations--and the attendant normalization strategies they employ--depending on circumstances, five major techniques emerge: (1) nurturing, (2) "pain-in-the-ass" behavior, (3) passive distance, (4) co-deviance, and (5) reluctant co-deviance.
