Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The present study focuses on the salutogenic properties of families and attempted to
identify factors that promote resilience in post-divorce families. McCubbin and
Patterson's (1983) double ABCX model explains how families adapt to crises
(divorce), and takes into account other life events that also impact on the family's
resources. A cross-sectional research design was chosen to identify factors related
to family resilience. The 98 participating families were identified on the grounds of the
nature of the crisis and the developmental phase of the family. Self-report
questionnaires were completed by the parent and a child acting as representatives of
the family. These questionnaires consisted of a biographical questionnaire, the
Relative and Friend Support Index, the Social Support Index, Family Crises Oriented
Personal Evaluation Scales, Family Sense of Coherence Scale, and the Family
Hardiness Index. Intra-family support, support of the extended family, support of
friends, religion, open communication amongst family members, and work- and
financial security were identified as factors promoting resilience in these post-divorce
families. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie fokus op salutogenetiese eienskappe van gesinne en poog am faktore
wat verband hou met veerkragtigheid in enkelouergesinne te identifiseer. McCubbin
en Patterson (1983) se dubbele ABCX-model verduidelik gesinne se aanpassing na
'n krisis (egskeiding) en neem oak ander lewensgebeure in ag wat terselfdertyd op
die gesin se hulpbranne begin staatmaak. 'n Dwarssnit navorsingsontwerp is gebruik
am faktore te identifiseer en te beskryf wat met gesinsveerkragtigheid verband hou.
Die 98 gesinne wat aan hierdie ondersoek deelgeneem het, is ge"ldentifiseer op
grand van die aard van die krisis en ontwikkelingstadium van die gesinne. Selfrapporteringsvraelyste
is deur die ouer en In kind, as verteenwoordigers van die
gesin, voltooi. Die vraelyste het bestaan uit 'n biografiese vraelys (wat oak 'n oopend
vraag ingesluit het), Relative and Friend Support Index, Social Support Index;
Family Crises Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales, Family Sense of Coherence
Scale, en die Family Hardiness Index. Intra- gesinsondersteuning, ondersteuning
deur die uitgebreide familie, ondersteuning van vriende, geloof, oop kommunikasie
onder gesinslede, positiewe gesindheid rakend hulle toekoms, en finansiele- en
werksekuritiet, is ge"ldentifiseer as faktore wat bydra tot veerkragtigheid in
enkelouergesinne.
