Barriers of sentiment : Identity -formation, -regulation and subjectification in preschools

This thesis studies preschool socialization in terms of identity -formation, -regulation, and subjectification. Both the methodology and theoretical backdrop draws on Critical Management Studies, and the contribution to research comes from studying a subject otherwise non-prioritized. I have performed a qualitative study entailing interviews of pedagogues and preschool chiefs working within the same company in the Stockholm region. The study indicate that preschool discourse emphasize the importance of social competences and rituals, and moreover that the institution also accentuates its role in setting the proper ‘preconditions’. Furthermore, the study demonstrates how pedagogues – using mechanisms such as individual discourses, the children’s agency, and the milieu – try to form individuals who are: social, independent, self-reliant, have a strong ‘self’, joyful towards learning, and ‘can do it themselves’. I make a liaison between the aforementioned ideals and certain trends discussed by managerial literature, like for instance currents towards: self-management, neo-normative control, self-entrepreneurial attitudes, ambidextrousness, and the ‘principle of potential’ (Costea et al., 2012; Fleming & Study, 2009; Holmqvist & Spicer, 2013; Maravelias, 2011; Pongratz & Voß, 2003). Finally the thesis concludes by firstly underscoring that the Discourse of for example ‘joyful learning’ and ‘independency’ in preschools tend to demolish physical modes of control in place of psychological ones; and secondly, by discussing historical practices, the thesis brings attention to a shift from safekeeping children to preparing them for industrial, urbanistic, and capitalistic social existence. 

Adhésion au traitement antidiabétique oral chez les adultes atteints de diabète de type 2 : déterminants et interventions visant à l'améliorer

Introduction : Le diabète de type 2 est une maladie évolutive débilitante et souvent mortelle qui atteint de plus en plus de personnes dans le monde. Le traitement antidiabétique non-insulinique (TADNI) notamment le traitement antidiabétique oral (TADO) est le plus fréquemment utilisé chez les adultes atteints de cette maladie. Toutefois, plusieurs de ces personnes ne prennent pas leur TADO tel que prescrit posant ainsi la problématique d’une adhésion sous-optimale. Ceci entraîne des conséquences néfastes aussi bien pour les patients que pour la société dans laquelle ils vivent. Il serait donc pertinent d’identifier des pistes de solution à cette problématique. Objectifs : Trois objectifs de recherche ont été étudiés : 1) Explorer la capacité de la théorie du comportement planifié (TCP) à prédire l’adhésion future au TADNI chez les adultes atteints de diabète de type 2, 2) Évaluer l’efficacité globale des interventions visant à améliorer l’adhésion au TADO chez les adultes atteints de diabète de type 2 et étudier l’influence des techniques de changement de comportement sur cette efficacité globale, et 3) Évaluer l’efficacité globale de l’entretien motivationnel sur l’adhésion au traitement médicamenteux chez les adultes atteints de maladie chronique et étudier l’influence des caractéristiques de cette intervention sur son efficacité globale. Méthodes : Pour l’objectif 1 : Il s’agissait d’une enquête web, suivie d’une évaluation de l’adhésion au TADNI sur une période de 30 jours, chez des adultes atteints de diabète de type 2, membres de Diabète Québec. L’enquête consistait à la complétion d’un questionnaire auto-administré incluant les variables de la TCP (intention, contrôle comportemental perçu et attitude) ainsi que d’autres variables dites «externes». Les informations relatives au calcul de l’adhésion provenaient des dossiers de pharmacie des participants transmis via la plateforme ReMed. Une régression linéaire multivariée a été utilisée pour estimer la mesure d’association entre l’intention et l’adhésion future au TADNI ainsi que l’interaction entre l’adhésion passée et l’intention. Pour répondre aux objectifs 2 et 3, deux revues systématiques et méta-analyses ont été effectuées et rapportées selon les lignes directrices de PRISMA. Un modèle à effets aléatoires a été utilisé pour estimer l’efficacité globale (g d’Hedges) des interventions et son intervalle de confiance à 95 % (IC95%) dans chacune des revues. Nous avons également quantifié l’hétérogénéité (I2 d’Higgins) entre les études, et avons fait des analyses de sous-groupe et des analyses de sensibilité. Résultats : Objectif 1 : Il y avait une interaction statistiquement significative entre l’adhésion passée et l’intention (valeur-p= 0,03). L’intention n’était pas statistiquement associée à l’adhésion future au TADNI, mais son effet était plus fort chez les non-adhérents que chez les adhérents avant l’enquête web. En revanche, l’intention était principalement prédite par le contrôle comportemental perçu à la fois chez les adhérents [β= 0,90, IC95%= (0,80; 1,00)] et chez les non-adhérents passés [β= 0,76, IC95%= (0,56; 0,97)]. Objectif 2 : L’efficacité globale des interventions sur l’adhésion au TADO était de 0,21 [IC95%= (-0,05; 0,47); I2= 82 %]. L’efficacité globale des interventions dans lesquelles les intervenants aidaient les patients et/ou les cliniciens à être proactifs dans la gestion des effets indésirables était de 0,64 [IC95%= (0,31; 0,96); I2= 56 %]. Objectif 3 : L’efficacité globale des interventions (basées sur l’entretien motivationnel) sur l’adhésion au traitement médicamenteux était de 0,12 [IC95%= (0,05; 0,20); I2= 1 %. Les interventions basées uniquement sur l’entretien motivationnel [β= 0,18, IC95%= (0,00; 0,36)] et celles dans lesquelles les intervenants ont été coachés [β= 0,47, IC95%= (0,03; 0,90)] étaient les plus efficaces. Aussi, les interventions administrées en face-à-face étaient plus efficaces que celles administrées par téléphone [β= 0,27, IC95%=(0,04; 0,50)]. Conclusion : Il existe un écart entre l’intention et l’adhésion future au TADNI, qui est partiellement expliqué par le niveau d’adhésion passée. Toutefois, il n’y avait pas assez de puissance statistique pour démontrer une association statistiquement significative entre l’intention et l’adhésion future chez les non-adhérents passés. D’un autre côté, quelques solutions au problème de l’adhésion sous-optimale au TADO ont été identifiées. En effet, le fait d’aider les patients et/ou les cliniciens à être proactifs dans la gestion des effets indésirables contribue efficacement à l’amélioration de l’adhésion au TADO chez les adultes atteints de diabète de type 2. Aussi, les interventions basées sur l’entretien motivationnel améliorent efficacement l’adhésion au traitement médicamenteux chez les adultes atteints de maladie chronique. L’entretien motivationnel pourrait donc être utilisé comme un outil clinique pour soutenir les patients dans l’autogestion de leur TADO.

Tecnologia social para autogestão : um estudo em empreendedorismo econômico solidário da cadeia produtiva da cajucultura no Rio Grande do Norte

The theme of this dissertation is social technology for self-management: a study in economic enterprise supportive of Rio Grande do Norte. The research aimed to obtain evidence that the reapplication of technology management, basic economic-financial and pricing, as production costs, has the potential to contribute to the self-management of APABV. The social technology and self-management are theoretical frameworks used and where workers are central figures in both the generation and replication of technologies that are compatible with their realities, as in the conduct and management approach adopted by them in their venture, they are makers decisions. To achieve the proposed objective was accomplished participatory research, which was used in addition to document analysis, participatory methodologies such as the construction of the DRP, group interview, experience in the production environment and family of entrepreneurs APABV. This research allowed the management technologies such as spreadsheets controls basic economic and financial costs, when socialized and understood by workers has the potential informational and become part of their daily decision-making process of the project, making up social technology

A assistência técnica nos habitats do MST e o papel do arquiteto e urbanista

This dissertation is about Architect and town planner inserts in the technical support of the Rural establishment and of the possibilities of changes in their habitat. It also looks for its participation through the production of those spaces with or without its performance through two references cases, in Rio Grande do Norte , one called settlement Eldorado de Carajás and another one called Maria da Paz. At first the process represents the model that was adopted systematically by Incra until the middle of the year 2000 with the sub-contracting of their construction work through small companies. These standardized projects which are executed without registration in the system CONFEA/CREA without demand of professional authorship and of technical responsibility of the work. But the process taken place at Maria da Paz s area was configured as one of the first initiatives that stopped with those practices. Consolidated through a partnership among UFRN MST and INCRA/RN, the Architect s technical support and town planner brought new technician-scientific organization and execution of the soil parcels and its habitat. The participation of UFRN was done through a group of studies in land reform and Habitat (GERAH) being this author and coordinator of the methodological proposal, based on the regressive-progressive method and in the inclusion of the conflict as responsible of the ruptures and transductions both done by Henry Léfèbvre and in the research action approached by Carlos Brandão. Therefore it included the process of social learning and collective production of new knowledge and attitudes in relation to the environment in the process called as attended self management in spite of the transformations happened with this new agent s participation. The people re-located to the new areas that got involved in the process and finished their constructions reelaborating the daily practice of the collective effort passed to the self management without technical support. Years later the implantation of those two experiences our research verified that there is a positive image concerning the Architect and town planner, related, most of all to the conception of the activities, orientation and execution of constructions projects and of acceptance of those professionals to the processes of implementation of the Habitats of the Rural establishments. This dissertation analyses this form of performance, from and beyond these images trying to find the professional, specificities or methodological in such a way to demonstrate the importance of its insertion in the formulation and attendance of the more of 100.000 habitats of Rural establishments of the land reform of the country that correspond to most of the housing social interest in the country side

Développement et pré-test d’un plan de soins de suivi pour des femmes atteintes du cancer de l’endomètre avec traitements adjuvants lors de la transition de la fin du traitement actif vers la survie au cancer

La fin du traitement actif et le début de la phase de survie correspondent à une période de transition qui présente de nombreux défis pour la personne survivante au cancer, les soignants et le système de santé. La phase de survie au cancer est une phase distincte mais négligée du continuum de soins. Pour faciliter la transition de la fin du traitement actif vers la survie et optimiser la coordination des soins de suivi, la mise en place d’un plan de soins de suivi (PSS) est proposée. Le but de cette recherche est de développer, de mettre en place et d’évaluer si un plan de soins de suivi (PSS) permet de répondre aux besoins globaux, de diminuer la détresse émotionnelle et de favoriser les comportements d’autogestion de santé de femmes atteintes du cancer de l’endomètre (FACE) lors de la transition de la fin du traitement actif vers la survie au cancer. Elle comprend deux phases distinctes. La première phase visait d’abord le développement d’un plan de soins de suivi (PSS) pour des femmes atteintes du cancer de l’endomètre avec traitements adjuvants. La sélection du contenu du PSS a été faite à partir de la recension des écrits et des données recueillies lors d’entrevues individuelles avec 19 FACE, 24 professionnels de la santé travaillant avec cette clientèle et quatre gestionnaires de proximité en oncologie. Cette première phase avait également pour but la validation du contenu du PSS auprès de dix professionnels de la santé impliqués dans l’étude. La seconde phase consistait à évaluer la faisabilité, l’acceptabilité du PSS et à en pré-tester l’utilité à répondre aux besoins globaux, à diminuer la détresse émotionnelle (peur de la récidive) et à favoriser l’autogestion de santé auprès d’un groupe de 18 femmes atteintes du cancer de l’endomètre avec traitements adjuvants à la fin du traitement actif vers la survie. Sur le plan de la faisabilité, les résultats suggèrent que la mise en place du PSS comporte des défis en termes de temps, de ressources et de coordination pour l’infirmière pivot en oncologie (IPO). Concernant l’acceptabilité du PSS, les FACE le perçoivent comme un outil d’information utile qui favorise la communication avec le médecin de famille ou d’autres professionnels de la santé. Les IPO soutiennent sa valeur ajoutée à la fin du traitement et soulignent que la discussion du contenu du PSS fait ressortir des éléments de surveillance et de suivi essentiels à prendre en compte pour la phase de survie et permet de mettre l’emphase sur l’autogestion de sa santé. Pour les médecins de famille, le PSS est un outil d’information pour les survivantes qui favorise la réassurance, la communication et la continuité des soins entre professionnels de la santé. Enfin, pour ce qui est de l’utilité du PSS à répondre aux besoins globaux, les résultats suggèrent que l’ensemble des besoins sont plus satisfaits trois mois après la fin des traitements pour le groupe ayant reçu un PSS. Bien que la peur de récidive du cancer (PRC) s’améliore au suivi de trois mois pour le groupe exposé au PSS, 55% des FACE conservent un score cliniquement significatif de 13 à la sous-échelle de sévérité de peur de récidive à la fin du traitement et 42% au suivi de trois mois. Les comportements d’autogestion de santé s’améliorent entre la fin du traitement et le suivi de trois mois pour le groupe exposé un PSS. Considérant ces résultats, la démarche soutient la pertinence de mettre en place un PSS à la fin du traitement actif pour les FACE pour répondre à des besoins d’information, favoriser la communication et la continuité des soins avec les professionnels de la santé et les comportements d’autogestion de santé dans la phase de survie. Cependant, des contraintes de temps, de ressources et de coordination doivent être prises en compte pour sa mise en place dans le milieu clinique. Mots-clés : Transition, fin du traitement actif, besoins, survie au cancer, plan de soins de suivi.

Experiences of women in secure care who have been prescribed clozapine for borderline personality disorder

Background: Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic medicine which can cause significant side-effects. It is often prescribed off-license in severe cases of borderline personality disorder contrary to national treatment guidelines. Little is known about the experiences of those who take clozapine for borderline personality disorder. We explored the lived-experience of women in secure inpatient care who were prescribed clozapine for borderline personality disorder. Findings: Adult females (N=20) participated in audio-taped semi-structured interviews. Transcripts were subject to thematic analysis. The central themes related to evaluation, wellbeing, understanding and self-management; for many, their subjective wellbeing on clozapine was preferred to prior levels of functioning and symptomatology, sometimes profoundly so. The negative and potentially adverse effects of clozapine were explained as regrettable but relatively unimportant. Conclusions: When psychological interventions are, at least initially, ineffective then clozapine treatment is likely to be evaluated positively by a group of women with borderline personality disorder in secure care despite the potential disadvantages.

Barriers to and facilitators of older adult’s adherence to health recommendations: Towards an EngAging two-way health communication

Non-adherence to health recommendations (e.g. medical prescriptions) presents potential costs for healthcare, which could be prevented or mitigated. This is often attributed to a person’s rational choice, to not adhere. However, this may also be determined by individual and contextual factors implied in the recommendations communication process. In accordance, this chapter focuses specifically on barriers to and facilitators of adherence to recommendations and engagement with the healthcare process, particularly concerning the communication between health professionals and patients. For this, the authors present examples of engagement increment through different degrees of participation, from a one-way/directive towards a two-way/engaging communication process. This focuses specifically on a vulnerable population group with increasing healthcare needs: older adults. Future possibilities for two-way engaging communications are discussed, aimed at promoting increased adherence to health recommendations and people’s self-regulation of their own health.

Mobilizing for the Lilongwe Diabetes Peer Support Programme in Malawi

Diabetes has become a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in Malawi but there are shortages of drug supply and healthcare providers to support quality care and treatment. Diabetes self-management support is necessary to improve patient outcomes, and peer support has gained acceptance as a solution for improving diabetes self-management. In this programme summary, we describe the components and facilitators essential to implementing a diabetes peer support programme in Lilongwe, Central Malawi. Peer support has the potential to play a key role for the Ministry of Health in the development of the 2011-2026 health sector strategic plan, which addresses diabetes and non-communicable diseases.

Predictors of Patient Activation Among Underserved Patients in a Nurse-managed Health Center: A Pilot Study

The concept of patient activation has gained traction as the term referring to patients who understand their role in the care process and have “the knowledge, skills and confidence” necessary to manage their illness over time (Hibbard & Mahoney, 2010). Improving health outcomes for vulnerable and underserved populations who bear a disproportionate burden of health disparities presents unique challenges for nurse practitioners who provide primary care in nurse-managed health centers. Evidence that activation improves patient self-management is prompting the search for theory-based self-management support interventions to activate patients for self-management, improve health outcomes, and sustain long-term gains. Yet, no previous studies investigated the relationship between Self-determination Theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2000) and activation. The major purpose of this study, guided by the Triple Aim (Berwick, Nolan, & Whittington, 2008) and nested in the Chronic Care Model (Wagner et al., 2001), was to examine the degree to which two constructs– Autonomy Support and Autonomous Motivation– independently predicted Patient Activation, controlling for covariates. For this study, 130 nurse-managed health center patients completed an on-line 38-item survey onsite. The two independent measures were the 6-item Modified Health Care Climate Questionnaire (mHCCQ; Williams, McGregor, King, Nelson, & Glasgow, 2005; Cronbach’s alpha =0.89) and the 8-item adapted Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire (TSRQ; Williams, Freedman, & Deci, 1998; Cronbach’s alpha = 0.80). The Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13; Hibbard, Mahoney, Stock, & Tusler, 2005; Cronbach’s alpha = 0.89) was the dependent measure. Autonomy Support was the only significant predictor, explaining 19.1% of the variance in patient activation. Five of six autonomy support survey items regressed on activation were significant, illustrating autonomy supportive communication styles contributing to activation. These results suggest theory-based patient, provider, and system level interventions to enhance self-management in primary care and educational and professional development curricula. Future investigations should examine additional sources of autonomy support and different measurements of autonomous motivation to improve the predictive power of the model. Longitudinal analyses should be conducted to further understand the relationship between autonomy support and autonomous motivation with patient activation, based on the premise that patient activation will sustain behavior change.

Estágio realizado no Programa Comunitário PLE²NO

A OA é a doença reumática mais comum no ser humano e uma doença crónica com impacto elevado na sociedade. Tem repercussões na saúde, ao nível da funcionalidade, comprometendo a realização das atividades da vida diária e a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos. Uma das articulações mais afetada pela OA é a articulação do joelho. O tratamento eficaz requer a combinação de tratamentos farmacológicos e não farmacológicos. Os tratamentos não farmacológicos, principalmente o exercício e a educação do doente têm vindo a ganhar importância, no que se refere ao controlo dos sintomas. A realização do estágio curricular surge no programa comunitário PLE²NO. O programa é considerado uma opção não farmacológica no tratamento e controlo dos sintomas da Osteoartrose (OA) no joelho. Os principais objetivos do estágio no PLE²NO consistiram: aquisição de conhecimentos teóricos relacionados com OA e práticos com vista ao aperfeiçoamento da prescrição do exercício; aquisição de competências essenciais à ótima liderança e comunicação com as pessoas e instituições envolvidas; prescrição de exercício a indivíduos com OA no joelho; cativar e motivar as pessoas para a prática de exercício; e determinar a eficácia de um programa de 3 meses de educação e exercício nos sintomas, aptidão física e qualidade de vida dos idosos com OA no joelho. Na aptidão física verificaram-se diferenças significativas na capacidade aeróbia, flexibilidade e velocidade da marcha. Nos indicadores de saúde houve melhoria em praticamente todos os parâmetros avaliados: mobilidade, cuidados pessoais, dor/mal-estar e sintomas de ansiedade/depressão. Assim, esta intervenção revelou-se ser uma mais-valia para o tratamento não farmacológico da osteoartrose do joelho a médio prazo.

Creación Colectiva: doble lectura de un proceso artístico. Estética y Relación en un experimento performático contemporáneo

Esta tesis indaga en la interacción entre los aspectos estéticos y relacionales que tienen lugar en un proceso de creación colectiva. Durante los últimos años han proliferado multitud de formas de colaboración artística, a menudo asociadas a movimientos de preocupación social o a comunidades ideológicas y alejadas de los circuitos institucionales, moviéndose entre nuevas posibilidades de autogestión y espacios alternativos de difusión. A fin de entender en primera persona cuáles son las implicaciones de la inclusión del "otro" en el proceso creativo individual, realizamos una experiencia autogestionada de creación colectiva en Barcelona entre los años 2007 y 2011. El presente estudio propone una doble lectura crítica del experimento, planteada en dos niveles paralelos: el nivel de la propia construcción artístico-estética y el nivel de las relaciones que se establecieron entre los participantes a lo largo del proceso. A través del abordaje empírico, la doble lectura crítica y el estudio teórico del contexto, demostramos que la colectivización y "relacionalización" del hecho creativo contribuyen a la rehumanización de la práctica artística, socializando los procesos, contextualizando los mensajes y proponiendo el diálogo como principal herramienta de creación. ———— ABSTRACT This thesis explores the interaction between the aesthetic and relational aspects that take place in a process of collective creation. During the last few years, many new forms of artistic collaboration have proliferated, often associated with socially engaged movements or ideological communities, away from institutional art circuits, moving between new possibilities of self-management and alternative show spaces. In order to understand first-hand what the implications of the inclusion of the “other” are in the individual creative process, we conducted a self-managed collective creation experience in Barcelona from 2007 to 2011. This study proposes a double critical reading of the experiment, displayed in two parallel levels: the level of artistic-aesthetic construction itself and the level of relations established between participants throughout the process. Through the empirical approach, double critical reading and a theoretical study of the context, we demonstrate that the collectivization and "relationalization" of the creative act contribute to re-humanizing the artistic practice, socializing processes, contextualizing messages and proposing dialogue as the main tool of creation.
