Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The primary aim of this research project was to determine the relationship between the way
students experience family and personal coherence and the extent to which students used potential
sources of support. A secondary aim was to determine the relationship between the way the
students and their parents experience the type of coping strategies used by the family during crisis
situations. A Biographical questionnaire, Use of Resources Questionnaire, Orientation to Life
Questionnaire (OLQ), Family Sense of Coherence Scale (FSOC) and the Family Crisis Oriented
Personal Evaluation Scale (F-COPES) were completed by 145 first-year students at the University
of Stellenbosch. Only the FSOC and the F-COPES scales were completed by parents. The results
show that there is a significant positive relationship between the way students experience family
and personal coherence and the importance of using sources of support. It was found that female
students have a stronger sense of family coherence than male students. Significant differences
were found between the experience of students and their parents of the type of coping strategies
used by the family during crisis situations. Significant differences were found specifically
between the way students and their parents experience obtaining social support, mobilising the
family to get and accept help and the passive appraisal of a problem. The results of the research
have important implications for the development and implementation of support groups and also
social and life skills programmes at secondary and tertiary training establishments. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die hoofdoelstelling van hierdie ondersoek was om die verband te bepaal tussen studente se
belewing van gesins- en persoonlike koherensie en die mate waarin studente potensiële
ondersteuningsbronne benut het. 'n Sekondêre doelstelling was om die verband tussen die
studente en hulouers se belewing van die tipe hanteringstrategieë wat deur die gesin tydens
krisissituasies gebruik word, te bepaal. 'n Biografiese vraelys, Benutting van bronne vraelys,
Lewensoriënteringsvraelys (Orientation to life Questionnaire (OLQ)), Gesinskoherensieskaal
(Family Sense of Coherence Scale (FSOC)) en 'n Gesinskrisisgeoriënteerde Persoonlike
Evaluasieskaal (Family Crisis Oriented Personal Evaluation Scale (F-COPES)) is voltooi deur 145
eerstejaarstudente aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch. Slegs die FSOC en F-COPES skale is
deur ouers voltooi. Die resultate dui daarop dat daar 'n beduidend positiewe verband bestaan
tussen studente se belewing van gesins- en persoonlike koherensie en die belangrikheid van die
benutting van ondersteuningsbronne. Daar is gevind dat vroulike studente 'n sterker belewing van
gesinskoherensie as manlike studente het. Beduidende verskille is gevind tussen die studente en
hulle ouers se belewing van die tipe hanteringstrategieë wat deur die gesin tydens krisissituasies
gebruik word. Beduidende verskille is gevind spesifiek tussen die studente en hulle ouers se
belewing van die gesin se verkryging van sosiale ondersteuning, die mobilisering van die gesin
om hulp te verkry en te aanvaar, en die gesin se passiewe waardering van 'n probleem. Die
navorsingsresultate het belangrike implikasies vir die ontwikkeling en implementering van
ondersteuningsgroepe asook sosiale en lewensvaardigheidsprogramme aan sekondêre en tersiêre
opleidingsinstansies.
