Background: Social support is a key dimension of personal recovery for patients with severe mental disorders. Although clinicians and health professionals should monitor the social support resources of patients in order to provide effective treatment, no specific tool or intervention exist for that purpose. Egonet is a computer-assisted intervention for health and social services that enables the mapping, assessment and fostering of patients’ social support networks. Aims: This paper describes the intervention and evaluates the appropriateness and acceptability of its implementation in a clinical setting. Method: We described the computer-assisted intervention. We used a questionnaire to assess how appropriate and acceptable clinicians found a preliminary version to be. We also collected patients’ level of satisfaction with their social support networks before and after the intervention and carried out qualitative interviews. Results: Egonet is made up of four components: (1) a computer-assisted interview for mapping social networks, (2) a remote data server, (3) a data-mining module and (4) a customisable reporting tool. Egonet was implemented for 232 patients by 91 clinicians from five services. The intervention was perceived by clinicians as appropriate and useful for clinical practice, although it was noted that considerable effort was required to obtain its benefits. Patients were slightly more satisfied with their social support after the intervention than before, and expressed the opinion that more attention should be paid to the social support network. Conclusions: EGONET is appropriate and acceptable for use in work related to the social support networks of patients with psychiatric disorders.

RESUMOObjetivo: avaliar a dinâmica de uma família ribeirinha. Método: estudo qualitativo, tipo descritivo, realizado com uma família utilizando o Modelo Calgary de Avaliação Familiar (MCAF). Os dados foram obtidos por entrevista semiestruturada e analisados pela técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Resultados: a aplicação deste Modelo investigou os principais aspectos de sua estrutura, desenvolvimento e funcionamento identificando os vínculos familiares, redes de apoio social e as funções diárias. Conclusão: o núcleo familiar estudado mostrou-se com vínculos fortes e relacionamento positivo, fortes redes de apoio social familiar e comunitário, porém com fragilidade com relação ao serviço de saúde, uma vez que os serviços oferecidos na ilha são incipientes e há dificuldade de locomoção da ilha para a busca de atendimento de saúde em outro local. O Modelo Calgary é uma ferramenta útil por considerar a família no seu contexto, além de ser um modelo próprio da enfermagem. Este estudo pode contribuir, futuramente, para que outros enfermeiros possam propor à família intervenções para a melhoria da qualidade de vida familiar, colaborando para encontrar soluções e lidar com as dificuldades do cotidiano.

Method: qualitative and descriptive study performed with a family using the Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM). Data were obtained by semi-structured interview and analyzed by the Content Analysis technique. Results: the application of this model investigated the main aspects of its structure, development and functioning, identifying family ties, social support networks and daily functions. Conclusion: the family nucleus under study showed strong bonds and positive relationships, strong family and community social support networks, but with fragility in relation to the health service, since the services offered on the island are incipient and there is difficulty locomotion in the island to seek health care elsewhere. The Calgary Model is a useful tool for considering the family in its context, besides being a nursing model. This study may contribute, in the future, for other nurses to propose to the family interventions aimed to improve the quality of family life, collaborating to find solutions and deal with daily difficulties.

Being embedded in social networks is crucial for well-being and health. While this is particularly the case for people with Down syndrome (DS), our knowledge of how their support networks are developed is limited. This article investigates the role of family members in developing and maintaining the social support networks of their adult children with DS. Based on 29 interviews with family members, a grounded theory study was conducted. The Family Building and Connecting (BAC) framework was developed, which distinguishes a “building” and a “connecting” approach. The building approach includes strategies that rely on family members and close friends for building a support network for the person with DS. The connecting approach includes strategies that connect the person with DS to external and often professional resources and services. Distinguishing these approaches is important for future research and for strengthening the support networks of people with DS and their families.

Population ageing requires society to adjust by ensuring additional types of services and assistance for elderly people. These may be provided by either organized services and sources of informal social support. The latter is especially important since a lack of social support is associated with a lower level of psychological and physical well-being. During the Covid-19 pandemic, social support for the elderly has proven to be even more crucial, also due to physical distancing. Therefore, this study aims to identify and describe the various types of personal social support networks of the elderly population during the coronavirus pandemic. To this end, a survey of Slovenians older than 64 years was conducted from April 25 to May 4, 2020 on a probability Web-panel-based sample (n = 605). The ego-networks were clustered by a hierarchical clustering approach for symbolic data. Clustering was performed for different types of social support (socializing, instrumental support, emotional support) and different characteristics of the social support networks (i.e., type of relationship, number of contacts, geographical distance). The results show that most of the elderly population in Slovenia have a satisfactory social support network, while the share of those without any (accessible) source of social support is significant. The results are particularly valuable for sustainable care policy planning, crisis intervention planning as well as any future waves of the coronavirus.
