The Importance Of Care Irrespective Of Cure: The Daily Living Realities And The Service Experiences Of Families With Children With Complex Mental Health Problems, Nick Coady

Partnerships for Children and Families Project

This report summarizes the results of in-depth interviews conducted in the Summer of 2001 with parents from 12 families that had children who were or had been involved with an intensive, community-based service for children with complex mental health problems. This study had a dual focus: (a) to learn about the daily living realities of families with children who have complex mental health problems, and (b) to learn about families’ experiences with the mental health service. Qualitative analysis of the interviews yielded themes pertaining to each of these two areas of focus. The themes related to daily living realities paint …

The Decline Of The Public Intellectual In Social Work, Howard Jacob Karger, Marie Theresa Herndndez

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This article examines reasons for social work's abandonment of public discourse, activism and intellectual life. It also explores strategies to encourage the profession to reenter public life and develop a modern cadre of social work identified public intellectuals. Specifically, this process entails professional and academic reform and a renewed vision around the social justice mission of social work.

Informal Care-Two-Tiered Care? The Work Of Family Members And Friends In Hospitals And Cancer Centres, Christina Sinding

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

In a qualitative study conducted in Ontario, Canada, family members and friends of ill people defined a normal territory in which care from health professionals could not be counted on to be timely, effective or empathic. Under these conditions relatives and friends took on considerable responsibility, both for providing care and for securing care from health professionals. Yet considerable variation was apparent in this study in the sense respondents had of their own capacities to provide and secure care. Findings from this study suggest that service tiers exist in the institutional care system, linked to the time, knowledge and resources …

Self-Help Group Participation And Empowerment In Hong Kong, Bong-Ho Mok

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This paper reports on the first comprehensive study of self-help groups in Hong Kong. Initial findings from the quantative and qualitative data suggest that self-help group participation has an impact on intrapersonal, interpersonal and community/political empowerment. Based on existing data, this study has resulted in the development of a hypothetical model encompassing the interrelationships among self-help group participation, social support, social learning, leadership and empowerment, for testing in future research.

An Agenda On Productive Aging: Research, Policy, And Practice, Nancy Morrow-Howell, Michael Sherraden, Amanda Moore Mcbride, Jim Hinterlong, Philip Rozario, Fengyan Tang

Center for Social Development Research

The Center for Social Development (CSD) at Washington University in St. Louis is advancing an agenda on productive aging, focusing on three primary forms of productive engagement: employment, volunteerism/civic engagement, and caregiving. These are activities that produce goods and services, whether paid for or not, and that have effects beyond individuals to families, communities, and society. Older adults who engage in these activities make important economic and social contributions, though these contributions are often undervalued. This agenda on productive aging builds on the results of a CSD-sponsored symposium where leading gerontologists from many academic disciplines discussed older adults as a …

Profile Of Older Adults Participating Idas: Findings From The American Dream Demonstration, Michelle Putnam, Nancy Morrow-Howell, Lin Zhang, Michael Sherraden

Center for Social Development Research

This research report is the first of a three-part series aimed at developing a greater understanding of older adults and their use of Individual Development Accounts (IDAs). The intent of this first report is to answer the following three questions: 1) Who are the older adults participating in IDAs? 2) What are they saving for? and 3) What do we know about IDAs and saving for retirement? These questions are answered using data from the American Dream Demonstration (ADD), the first nation-wide evaluation of IDAs as tools for asset building and community development. In this report, comparisons are made between …

What Mothers Want: Welfare Reform And Maternal Desire, Patricia K. Jennings

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

In this study I use participant observations,face-to-face interviews, and focus group interviews to examine how women on welfare read and negotiate culture-of-poverty discourse and the imagery that this discourse spawns. I spoke with two groups of young single mothers receiving welfare. The first group included young mothers between the ages of 18 and 23 who were attending high school in a community-based program that served women on welfare. The second group included mothers in their early to mid 20's who were attending either a local two-year college or research university. Education was a path of resistance for the women in …

A Journey With The End In Mind: An Examination Of How Advance Planning May Influence End-Of-Life Decisions, Elizabeth Lada Morse

Student Scholarship

There are many sociocultural and economic factors that shape discussions about treatment options for terminally ill patients. These factors include access to lifeprolonging medical options, societal priorities regarding the allocation of limited health care resources, cost constraints of payers, and societal consensus that patient autonomy underpins lifesustaining treatment decisions. The focus of this study is primarily directed to issues of endoflife care decisions as they relate to advance directives (ADs) and palliative care. It is argued that when death is expected or foreseeable, advance care planning has value for the individual, family, organization and community. It is debatable whether ADs …

醫學生對“醫學倫理－角色扮演”課程之滿意度調查, 正源 謝, 建鵬 徐, 先震 王, 德明 張

Journal of Medical Education

為求落實醫學倫理之教學、並使學生在進入臨床前能對醫療團隊同仁之工作性質有所暸解、以奠定其日後成為團隊領導者之基礎，本院特研擬醫學生接受「醫學倫理－角色扮演課程」；於是項課程中，除特定單元因保障病人權益之考量，大部分皆要求學生以「角色扮演、親身實做」的方式施行。本研究之目的即在於探討本項課程實施後學生之反應與滿意度，將成效供日後課程改進之參考依據口結果發現，66.1％的同學對此項課程所安排之主題感到滿意，有約6.3％感到不滿意；另有13.8％的同學對於安排以「一天」輪調一個單元的方式覺得不滿意；而在九個學習單元中，學生對各單元中反應較佳者為「社工義工經驗」及「體驗護理工作」二項，反應較差的則為「熟悉X光片管理工作」及「角色扮演－病人家屬」二單元；而在其他建議上，學生希望未來可增加孤兒院或中途之家等的安排及與醫病關係有關的課程。綜合而言，62.3％的同學認為本次醫學倫理－角色扮演之課程對同學未來生涯會有所助益。本研究建議對醫學倫理相關議題的學習，以「角色扮演」的教導方式來實施應可繼續，惟在課程內容設計方面則有再修正檢討之處，如多增加“醫病關係”的互動課程及派赴學生至醫院外與社區民眾的接觸箏。至於在課程執行方面，因角色扮演需考量「實地」與「訓練單位」的實際運作配合問題，應先與各實習單位進行事先良好之溝通與安排等將更有效益；另就課後評估部份，則應至少每年進行乙次調查，以維授課品質。
