Family support, coping with stress and family discipline

This article is the result of an empirical research project analysing the relationship between the resources of socially maladjusted youth and their strategies for coping with stress. The research was focused on non-formal functional support from family members and two types of personal resources – resilience and a sense of coherence – in forming tendencies to take advantage of adaptive and non-adaptive strategies for coping with stress. The research participants consisted of young, socially maladjusted people who have been directed to attendance centres, youth sociotherapy centres, and youth educational centres all over Poland ( N = 468). Structural equation modelling was used to verify the basic hypotheses. The observed data confirmed most of the assumptions. The sense of family support was positively related to an adaptive strategy and, contrary to expectations, to a non-adaptive strategy. The family support experienced not only had a direct impact on intensifying adaptive and non-adaptive strategies but also influenced coping with the use of personal resources. The impact of family resources on resilience and the sense of coherence were similar, but the relationship of a sense of coherence was weaker than the relationship of resilience with an adaptive strategy. Resilience turned out to be the strongest predictor of an adaptive strategy. The relationship between resilience and a non-adaptive strategy was insignificant, but a sense of coherence worked in favour of planning, positively reinterpreting the situation and actively undertaking actions focused on the problem, and at the same time lowered the tendency to release emotions and self-blame.

Abstract: Family support is important factor in creating a resilience in the effort to treat schizophrenia patients. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between family support with the resilience of schizophrenic caregivers in the work area of Poigar Health Center and Ongkaw Health Center. This study used quantitative study with cross sectional approach, The sample was taken using non-probability techniques, purposive sampling. This studyinvolved 52 respondents from both Health Care Centre. The results of the study showed the level of strength (closeness) between variabels is moderate (0.285), positive direction, and significant (p = 0.041 <α = 0.05). This study concluded there as a moderate, positive and significant relationship between family support (28.5%) with caregiver resilience. Suggestions, for health centers to further improve the quality of health services for families of schizophrenic patients such as, consultation services, family-related counseling such as adaptation with schizophrenic sufferers, coping with stress and family resources and efforts to overcome stigma.Keywords: Family Support; Caregiver Resilience; Schizophrenia Abstrak: Dukungan keluarga adalah faktor penting dalam menciptakan ketahanan dalam upaya untuk merawat pasien skizofrenia.

Family support has evolved from a buzzword of the 1990s to a concept founded in theory, mandated by federal law, valued across disciplines, and espoused by both parents and professionals. This emphasis on family-centered practices for families of young children with disabilities, coupled with federal policy initiatives and technological advances, served as the impetus for the development of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs (Nicholson & Martin, in press). White, Forsman, Eichwald, and Muñoz (2010) provide an excellent review of the evolution of EHDI systems, which include family support as one of their 9 components. The National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management (NCHAM), the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, and the Center for Disease Control Centers cosponsored the first National EHDI Conference. This conference brought stakeholders including parents, practitioners, and researchers from diverse backgrounds together to form a learning collaborative (Forsman, 2002). Attendees represented a variety of state, national, and/or federal agencies and organizations. This forum focused effort on the development of EHDI programs infused with translating research into practices and policy. When NCHAM, recognizing the critical role of family support in the improvement of outcomes for both children and families, created a think tank to investigate the concept of a conference centered on support for families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing in 2005, the “Investing in Family Support” (IFSC) conference was born. This conference was specifically designed to facilitate and enhance EHDI efforts within the family support arena. From this venue, a model of family support was conceptualized and has served as the cornerstone of the IFSC annual conference since 2006. Designed to be a functional framework, the IFSC model delineates where and how families find support. In this article, we will promote and encourage continued efforts towards defining operational measures and program components to ultimately quantify success as it relates to improved outcomes for these children and their families. The authors view this opportunity to revisit the theoretical underpinnings of family support, the emerging research in this area, and the basics of the IFSC Model of Family Support as a call to action. We challenge professionals who work with children identified as deaf or hard of hearing to move family support from conceptualization to practices that are grounded in evidence and ever mindful of the unique and dynamic nature of individual families.

Hiv Epidemic

The high mortality rate among drug users, which is partly due to the HIV epidemic and partly due to drug-related accidental deaths and suicides, presents a major public health problem. Knowing more about prevalence, incidence, and risk factors is important for the development of rational preventive and therapeutic programs. This article attempts to give an overview of studies of the relations between substance abuse, suicidal ideation, suicide, and drug-related death. Research in this field is hampered by the absence of clear definitions, and results of studies are rarely comparable. There is, however, consensus about suicidal ideation being a risk factor for suicide attempts and suicide. Suicidal ideation is also a predictor of suicide, especially among drug users. It is correlated with an absence of family support, with the severity of the psychosocial dysfunctioning, and with multi-drug abuse, but also with requests for treatment. Every clinical examination of a drug user, not only of those who are depressed, should address the possible presence of suicidal ideation, as well as its intensity and duration.
