Grief, parenting, and schizophrenia
Empowerment of Families During Dying, Death, and Bereavement
This study examines the concerns of nursing professionals in relation to the empowerment of dying persons and their families in the context of hospital-based caregiving. Individual semistructured interviews with seven charge nurses focused on their training, ward experiences, and ongoing education beyond the hospital. Participants reflected on their personal awareness of death, their grief when a death occurs in the ward, the role of other profes…
Differences between Anglo-Celtic and Italian Caregivers of Dependent Elderly Persons
This paper describes a preliminary investigation of differences in family caregiving in Australia. Forty-eight Italian-born family caregivers of dependent elderly persons were compared with 461 caregivers of Anglo-Celtic origin on measures reflecting psychological health and well-being, and on a range of socio-demographic variables. The latter had participated in the national Caring for Family Caregivers (CFC) group programme; the former are resi…
A longitudinal study of the grief of mothers and fathers of children with intellectual disability
As a follow‐up to a single‐point‐in‐time study which suggested support for the proposition that grieving is an ongoing feature of parenting children with intellectual disability, the present investigation reports findings based on annual interviews conducted over a three‐year period. Longitudinal outcomes on measures used to define grief largely confirmed the original findings. Of particular interest were ( a ) indications of the presence of grie…
Grieving related to development
It is argued that a child with intellectual disability represents an ongoing source of loss and grief for parents. A developmental framework was employed to compare three age cohorts of parents. Grief was operationalized within the affective, behavioural and cognitive domains. Measures of intrusive thoughts, avoidance behaviours, current emotional distress over reminders of time of diagnosis of disability, and intensity of wishing for what might …
Longitudinal outcomes of psychoeducational support for family caregivers of dependent elderly persons
The present study investigated the long-term impact of a small-group psychoeducational program on 51 individuals who were providing unpaid care for a dependent elderly relative or friend. As well, 13 caregivers in a comparable wait-list control group were followed up 12 months after pretesting. Quantitative and qualitative analytic procedures were used to assess the effectiveness of the program. Overall, psychological and behavioural indicators w…
Caring for Family Caregivers in Australia
The present paper describes and traces the emergence of an innovative psychoeducational model of support for family caregivers of dependent elderly persons, its associated systematic evaluation and leadership training process, provides details of a small group programme and its underlying philosophy, and reports on outcome evaluation research ascertained from both quantitative and qualitative data analyses. Details of these analyses are presented…
Caring for family caregivers
The aim of this study was to replicate previous findings of positive outcomes, which had emerged from a small group program designed to provide psychosocial and emotional support for those caring for a dependent elderly person. The self?selected subjects were 57 females and 11 males, with ages ranging from 35 to 84 years. The pretest, posttest, and follow?up design permitted measurement over an 18?week period of affect balance, level of strain, a…
Couple Strengths and Stressors in Complex and Simple Stepfamilies in Australia
Mental health attitudes of professionals in training
Attention focused on the attitudes of 140 psychology students toward the mentally ill and community care, on the dual assumptions (a) that relevant professional groups must share a basically humanistic and tolerant approach, and (b) that tertiary institutions have a significant role to play in the inculcation of such attitudes. It was demonstrated that the attitudes of second, third, and fourth year students were less authoritarian and more incli…
