People with disabilities’ perspectives on how participation in a supported employment programme facilitates access to work.

Otty, Michaela Ellen January 2021 (has links)
Magister Scientiae (Occupational Therapy) - MSc(OT) / Despite extensive literature highlighting the role of supported employment in ensuring access to work for people with disabilities, there is limited research on their perspectives of supported employment. This thesis presents a research study conducted in two different supported employment programmes in South Africa. The aim of the study was to explore and describe people with disabilities’ perspectives on how participation in a supported employment programme facilitates access to work. The research objectives sought to explore the barriers to, and facilitators of, inclusion and access for people with disabilities to work; describe key elements of a supported employment programme that influences access and inclusion for people with disabilities to work; and finally, to explore people with disabilities’ perspectives regarding the value of participating in a supported employment programme.

Vulvasmärtor ur ett aktivitetsperspektiv : En kvalitativ intervjustuide om kvinnors erfarenheter av vulvasmärtor / Vulvar pain from an activity perspective : A qualitative interview study on women´s experiences of vulvar pain

Segerdahl, Vilma, Mackenhauer, Amanda January 2024 (has links)
Bakgrund: Vulvasmärtor är något som drabbar kvinnor världen över. Den tidigare forskningen pekar tydligt på hur smärtproblematiken påverkar de drabbade kvinnornas livskvalité och vardagsaktiviteter. Denna studie har belyst vardagsaktiviteter för kvinnor med vulvasmärtor utifrån den Biopsykosociala modellen, Model of Human Occupation, Doing, Being, Belonging och Becoming samt Occupational injustice. Modellerna och begreppen belyser flera dimensioner av görandet, hälsan och aktiviteter. Syftet: Var att belysa hur kvinnors erfarenheter av vulvasmärtor påverkar aktiviteter i vardagen. Metod: Genomfördes utifrån en kvalitativ design med en induktiv ansats och semistrukturerade intervjuer. Insamlat material analyserades i en tematiskanalys. Deltagarna rekryterades genom ett typiskt urval och bestod utav sju kvinnor med vulvasmärta från en ideell förening i Sverige. Resultat: Från intervjuerna presenterades fem olika teman: “Vulvasmärta och socialt utanförskap”, “Utmaningar med samlag”, “Vulvasmärta och dess psykiska konsekvenser”, “Den proaktiva kampen mot vulvasmärta”, “Att förstå och övervinna vulvasmärta”. Slutsats: Påvisade hur mycket vulvasmärtan begränsat kvinnorna och påverkat deras psykiska och sexuella hälsa negativt. Resultatet visade att kvinnorna till stor del blir påverkad i aktiviteter i vardagen. Implikationer: Denna studie indikerar att arbetsterapi är en användbar resurs för att stödja kvinnor med vulvasmärta och främja självständighet och välbefinnande i vardagen. Resultatet bidrar till att utveckla vården och samhällets attityder kring den sexuella hälsan och öppnar upp för vidare diskussion och utveckling gällande stödet för kvinnor med vulvasmärta. / Background: Vulvar pain is something that affects women worldwide. Previous research clearly indicates how the pain problem affects the affected women's quality of life and everyday activities. This study has highlighted everyday activities for women with vulvar pain based on the Biopsychosocial Model, the Model of Human Occupation and Doing, Being, Belonging and Becoming and Occupational injustice. The models and concepts highlight several dimensions of doing, health and activities. Aim: To shed light on how women's experiences of vulvar pain affect activities of daily living. Method: A qualitative design with an inductive approach and semi-structured interviews was used. Collected material was analyzed in a thematic analysis. The participants were recruited through a typical sample and consisted of seven women with vulvar pain from a non-profit association in Sweden. Results: Five themes emerged from the interviews: "Vulvar pain and social exclusion", "Challenges with sexual intercourse", "Vulvar pain and its psychological consequences", "The proactive fight against vulvar pain", "Understanding and overcoming vulvar pain". Conclusion: Demonstrated how much vulvar pain limited women and negatively affected their mental and sexual health. The results showed that women are largely affected in everyday activities. Implications: This study indicates that occupational therapy is a useful resource to support women with vulvar pain and promote independence and well-being in everyday life. The results contribute to the development of health care and societal attitudes towards sexual health and open up for further discussion and development regarding the support of women with vulvar pain.
