Våld i nära relationer upphör inte i samband med pensionering. Äldre kvinnor kan utsättas för alla de olika former av våld i nära relationer som drabbar yngre, inklusive sexuellt våld. Det kan dessutom finnas fler möjliga förövare, utöver en partner även vuxna barn, nära släkting eller personal inom vård och omsorg. Forskningen och samhällets instanser har länge förbisett att våld i nära relationer förekommer mot äldre kvinnor. Det har skapat stora kunskapsluckor gällande äldre kvinnors erfarenheter av våld och vilka metoder som är effektiva för att identifiera, förebygga och åtgärda våld mot äldre kvinnor. Behovet av mer kunskap om äldre kvinnors utsatthet och våldsförebyggande arbete är därför stort. Denna studies syfte var att utforska och beskriva verksamma inom tantjourer och kvinnojourers erfarenheter av att möta och ge stöd till våldsutsatta äldre kvinnor. En kvalitativ intervjustudie genomfördes med elva verksamma vid tantjourer och kvinnojourer i Sverige. Genom en reflexiv tematisk analys kategoriserades resultaten i enlighet med fyra framträdande teman; det osynliga offret; det osynliga våldet; den okända hjälpen; och synliggörandet. Studien visade hur intersektioner av kön, ålder, funktionsförmåga och klass samverkar och är kopplade till processer av osynliggörande, vilket sammantaget villkorat äldre kvinnors möjlighet till uppbrott från den person som utsätter dem för våld samt deras och tillgång till stöd och skydd. För att tillgängliggöra stödinsatser till våldsutsatta äldre kvinnor på lika villkor som yngre kvinnor behöver bilden av den våldsutsatta kvinnan, våldsutövaren och hur våld i nära relationer ser ut breddas. Stereotypa föreställningar om äldre personer behöver aktivt utmanas och motverkas för att stödinsatser ska kunna utformas utifrån kvinnans individuella behov och livsomständigheter.  Nyckelord: våld i nära relationer, våld mot äldre kvinnor, kvinnojourer, intersektionalitet / Domestic violence does not end with retirement. Older women can be exposed to all the different forms of domestic abuse that affect younger women, including sexual violence. There may also be more possible perpetrators, in addition to a partner also adult children, close relatives or personnel in health and social care. Both previous research and society have long overlooked that domestic abuse occurs against older women. This has created large knowledge gaps regarding older women's experiences of violence and which methods are effective for identifying, preventing, and remedying violence against older women. Consequently, there is a need for more knowledge about older women's exposure to domestic violence and violence prevention methods. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe experiences of meeting, and supporting older women exposed to violence, through the perspective of employees at women ́s shelters and women ́s shelters directed to older women. A qualitative interview study was conducted with eleven employees at women ́s shelters and women ́s shelters directed to older women in Sweden. Through a reflexive thematic analysis, the results were categorized by four emerging themes; the invisible victim; the invisible violence; the unknown aid; making visible. The study showed how intersections of gender, age, functional ability, and class interacts and are connected to processes of invisibility, which collectively affected older women's opportunity to break free from violence as well as their access to support and protection. For support services to be available for older abused women at equal terms as for younger women, the image of abused women, the perpetrator, and what domestic violence looks like needs to be broadened. Support measures need to be tailored based on women’s individual needs and life circumstances, therefore stereotypical ideas about older people need to be actively challenged and counteracted.  Keywords: domestic violence, elder abuse, women ́s shelters, intersectionality

The aim of this qualitative study is to investigate how professionals in women’s shelters work to maintain the child's needs and rights. The study also concerns how children exposed to violence are affected by previous experiences of violence in their home environment and how their relationships are affected by staying at the shelter. The study reflects professionals' experiences in their work with children in women's shelters and the problematic aspects of maintaining the child's everyday life. The study's empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews with four professionals working in women's shelters. Through a thematic analysis the collected data has been processed and linked to previous research in the field. In the results of the study it appears that the child's everyday life is affected to a large extent due to their stay at the shelter. There are problematic aspects regarding the relationship between the need for protection and the maintenance of the child's needs and rights. The results also highlight how the child's social life is affected by moving to the women's shelter and how the experiences of the previous violence can create consequences for the child

Social workers who work with homeless children need to understand the challenges in the homeless culture. The purpose of this study was to discover the needs that were reported by homeless children who live in motels, in order to provide agencies with information that will help them better provide services to this population.

The aim of this study was to do group work with 10 girls staying in a shelter in order to contribute to their adjustment. Lewin's field theory and the General Systems Theory were utilized to ground the group work. The epistemological framework of the study was exploratory and involved an in depth analysis of the group experiences of the participants. Unstructured interviews were also conducted with the participants. Hermeneutics as a method of analysis was applied to analyse data. The following themes captured the experiences of the girls: trust versus mistrust, connection and disconnection, alienation and isolation, emotionally overwhelmed versus security, being labeled/stigmatized, security versus insecurity, and hope versus hopelessness. This study provides a better understanding of the life worlds of girls staying in a shelter. It could also contribute to a greater awareness of the experiences of abused girls who stay in a shelter. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

Esse estudo apresenta o desenvolvimento de práticas psicológicas no contexto institucional. Trata-se de intervenção psicoterápica em grupo com as cuidadoras de crianças em acolhimento institucional de abrigos, por dois anos, desenvolvida no contexto da instituição. Ao realizarmos nosso estudo anterior de Mestrado, identificamos acentuado sofrimento psíquico manifestado pela equipe de cuidadoras, no qual percebemos importantes identificações da equipe com as angústias emergentes nas crianças abrigadas. Iniciamos, em março de 2006, encontros psicoterápicos grupais e semanais com as cuidadoras desse abrigo até o mês de março de 2008. Aplicamos com o grupo, no início e na finalização dos encontros, o Procedimento Desenhos-Estórias com Tema, para compreendermos a dinâmica psíquica das participantes atrelada ao relacionamento com crianças em acolhimento, e também para nos auxiliar a avaliar a intervenção realizada. Adotamos a perspectiva winnicottiana para a noção de saúde. Esta experiência nos revelou que a partir do momento em que as cuidadoras alcançaram melhor contato emocional com a interioridade puderam conter grande parte do sofrimento psíquico, apresentando-se de forma mais viva para o contato com a realidade externa e ampliando os contatos afetivos. A equipe de cuidadoras apresentou melhor contato com os próprios afetos e demonstrou avanços na capacidade de discriminação das crianças em acolhimento, o que facilitou os relacionamentos no contexto institucional. Percebemos mudanças na realidade subjetiva da equipe, embora permanecesse a mesma realidade social do contexto, o que nos possibilitou também considerar a eficácia da intervenção psicológica com o grupo de cuidadoras. Portanto, propomos esta intervenção como enquadre clínico diferenciado para atendimento de cuidadoras em abrigos / This study presents the development of the psychological practice within the institutional context. It is the psychotherapeutic group intervention with the children\'s caregivers in institutional shelters, for two years, developed within the context of the shelters. In our previous study for the Master\'s Degree, we identify intense psychic suffering manifested by the team of caregivers, in which we perceive important identifications between the team and the state of anguish the sheltered children are found. In March, 2006, we begin weekly psychotherapeutic gatherings with the caregivers of this shelter, until up the year 2008. Within the group, and at the beginning and the end of each gathering, we apply the Drawing- And-Story Procedure with Theme, to understand the psychic dynamics of the participants in relation with the sheltered children, and also, to help us evaluate the applied intervention. We adopt the Winnicottian Perspective for the notion of health. The experiment reveals, from the very moment the caregivers reach a better emotional contact, with the interiority, that they are able to hold back a great part of the psychic suffering, taking a more lively approach in contacting the exterior reality, expanding the affective contacts. The team of caregivers presents a better contact with their own affections; also, presents improvement in the capacity to discriminate the children under the shelter, which facilitates the relationship in the institutional context. We perceive a change in the subjective reality of the team of caregivers, even though the social reality of the context remains unchanged, and this allows us to consider the efficiency of the psychological intervention with the team of caregivers. Thus, we propose this intervention as differentiated clinical setting to aid caregivers in shelters

No. of bitstreams: 1 HELENA MAFFEI CRUZ.pdf: 2052066 bytes, checksum: 08e4bd702aca16187d5861f1a04e07b6 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-10-22 / This research has as theme of study the constitution of the self of young adults raised in shelters under the care of a social-mother in the Aldeia de Rio Bonito, in São Paulo, institution that s linked to the Aldeias Infantís SOS do Brasil. The general objective is to investigate the meanings attributed to the relations in the institution, as constitutive of the identity of young adults who lived there, up to their adulthood, by exploring the meanings attributed to the shelter, social mother, brothers and village the four pillars of the mission of the institution in the self-descriptions of these young people; intends, also to comprehend the relevance of these meanings in their situation of young adults, due to the need to guarantee the self survival, considered as an indicator of adulthood. It is a qualitative research where the researcher studies, based on the narrative of four young people about themselves, the presence of the four pillars of the institution in these self-descriptions. The relational comprehension of the self constitutionf, common to many systemic theories and the social constructionism, which proposes the meaning as socially constructed in language, gives the bases to the analyses and interpretation of the proposed categories and the other categories constructed through the narratives of the interviewees. The results lead to the presence of the people who integrate the net constituted in the Village and from the village as fundamental voices in the co-construction of an experience of the self, in coherence with the time and the space that constitute the identity. Other social voices, such as prejudice, which came up in the interviews, are part of the restricted identity of these young people, as much as the wide social economic context in the city of São Paulo. The research offers reflection about the co-responsibility between the institution and the external social agents on the way from the Village to the city, towards the adulthood of these emancipated young people from the Village / Esta pesquisa tem como tema de estudo a constituição do si mesmo de jovens adultos criados em casas-lar sob os cuidados de uma mãe-social, na Aldeia de Rio Bonito, em São Paulo, instituição filiada às Aldeias Infantis SOS do Brasil. O objetivo geral é investigar os significados atribuídos às relações na instituição, como constitutivas da identidade dos jovens adultos, que lá viveram até sua maioridade, através da exploração dos sentidos atribuídos a casa-lar, mãe social, irmãos e aldeia - os quatro pilares da missão da instituição - nas autodescrições destes jovens; pretende também compreender a relevância destes sentidos em sua situação de jovens adultos, frente à necessidade de garantir a própria sobrevivência, considerada como indicador de maioridade. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa onde a pesquisadora estuda, através das narrativas de quatro jovens sobre si mesmos, a presença dos pilares da instituição nessas autodescrições. A compreensão relacional da constituição do si-mesmo, comum às várias teorias sistêmicas e o construcionismo social, que propõe o significado como construído socialmente em linguagem, embasam a análise e interpretação das categorias propostas e das demais categorias construídas pelos relatos dos entrevistados. Os resultados apontam a presença das pessoas integrantes da rede constituída na e a partir da Aldeia como vozes fundamentais na co-construção de uma experiência de si mesmo, coerente no tempo e no espaço que constitui a identidade. Outras vozes sociais como o preconceito, surgidas nas entrevistas, fazem parte das restrições identitárias dos jovens, assim como o contexto socioeconômico mais amplo da cidade de São Paulo. A pesquisa oferece reflexão sobre a co-responsabilidade, entre a instituição e os agentes sociais externos, no caminho da Aldeia à cidade, em direção à maioridade dos jovens aldeanos emancipados
