Integrating Social Support in Nursing - Miriam J. Stewart - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Integrating Social Support in Nursing - Miriam J. Stewart - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The first definitive volume on social support from a nursing perspective, Integrating Social Support in Nursing analyzes current theories and concepts and documents nursing′s contribution to the field. While confronting current conceptual controversies and negative impacts of social support, Stewart emphasizes the need for nurses to intervene with social support at the individual, dyadic, and group levels; the need for nursing education to respond to the challenge of integrating social support theory into the curriculum; and the need for research strategies designed to clarify social support issues such as gender as a predictor of social support. The author also demonstrates the necessity for a social support based framework and proposes a conceptual model incorporating environment, nursing, health, and focal persons. Integrating Social Support in Nursing is essential reading for nurse clinicians, educators, students, and researchers who see the need to shift from a medical to psychosocial model of health care delivery that views clients as partners and families as allies. "The greatest strength of this book is its connecting research to actual application. A variety of insightful research and previous literature are covered in great detail. . . . This book presents an excellent background on social support and leaves the reader wanting more information, in order to implement appropriate ′supportive′ interventions." --Choice "Stewart′s book makes an important contribution to the nursing profession. It integrates the vast interdisciplinary social support literature into the theoretical dimensions that underpin contemporary nursing research and practice. This book will provide a common baseline for nurse clinicians, educators, students, researchers, and theoreticians as they seek to incorporate a concept that has unique relevance to nursing." --Jane S. Norbeck, R.N., D.N.S.c., F.A.A.N., Professor and Dean, School of Nursing, University of California, San Francisco "[This book] embeds social support in nursing theory and enriches the pedagogy and training of nurses, while enlarging the conceptual framework that guides their practice." --Human Resources Abstracts

Social Support in Couples - Carolyn E. Cutrona - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Social Support in Couples - Carolyn E. Cutrona - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Expressions of support between partners may be more commonplace than heroic, but their cumulative effects on the growth of trust, enduring love, and commitment can be considerable--even lifesaving in the face of otherwise overwhelming tragedy. Skillfully weaving together the latest research with engaging case examples and practical applications, author Carolyn E. Cutrona offers an in-depth analysis of how committed partners can serve as resources for each other in stressful scenarios. Beginning with a fresh overview of definitions and concepts, Social Support in Couples articulates the vital components of intimate support systems. This informative volume explores the phenomenon of marital communication through real-life interactions, focusing on gender-related differences, the interplay between supportive and destructive interactions, and stress experienced during chronic/disabling illness. In a concluding chapter, a research agenda for future study opens the topic up to additional serious consideration. A reader-friendly examination of the power of supportive acts, Social Support in Couples is recommended for a wide readership, including academics, practitioners, and students in family studies, social psychology, social work, and marriage and family counseling.

Self-Help and Support Groups - Linda Farris Kurtz - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Self-Help and Support Groups - Linda Farris Kurtz - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The first volume to address both self-help and support groups and provide a clear distinction between the two, Self-Help and Support Groups dispels misunderstandings and inaccurate assumptions about how they function, whom they attract, and how they help participants achieve goals. Author Linda Farris Kurtz informs students and practitioners in the human services about the concepts, theories, and research involving self-help and support groups. She provides practical advice and direction to professionals for working with these groups while analyzing self-help/support organizations on three different levels--in terms of the groups themselves, the groupsÆ members, and the practitionerÆs interaction with the groups. In addition, this comprehensive volume discusses the most prominent representative associations as examples of different types of groups, including Alcoholics Anonymous, Recovery, Inc., National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, and the AlzheimerÆs Association. It also examines the rise of telephone and on-line self-help, considering the advantages and disadvantages of this style of group interaction. As an added bonus, each chapter includes exercises and discussion questions. Filling the void in literature on this neglected topic, Self-Help and Support Groups is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and professionals in social work, human services, and clinical/counseling psychology.

Preventing Child Maltreatment through Social Support - Ross A. Thompson - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Preventing Child Maltreatment through Social Support - Ross A. Thompson - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Ross A. Thompson′s social-policy expertise illuminates the limitations of formulating a child protection policy agenda on current research without concern for the specific populations to be served. Thompson details an ambitious agenda for child welfare reform by calling for a multistrategy approach, with specific reference to the 1990 proposals of the U.S. Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect, with which he has been intimately connected. . . . This masterful work weaves together theory and application about how to prevent child maltreatment. Good references. Upper-division undergraduates and above. --Choice Recently, there has been considerable interest in providing social support to abuse-prone families as a means of preventing child abuse and neglect. Partly due to both reports that social support programs can indeed help parents and the theoretical underpinnings of these programs, social support has become the cause celebre among those who are seeking more effective new avenues to abuse prevention. However, many important issues must be considered in translating this general idea into effective public policy initiatives related to abuse prevention. Preventing Child Maltreatment Through Social Support carefully considers the various factors affecting the success of social support programs and provides the path to designing effective--and enduring--interventions. Offering the reader a critical analysis of current research concerning social networks and functions of social support, this perceptive book fosters an understanding of maltreatment, socially isolated families, and the dynamics of help giving and receiving. Ross A. Thompson moves deftly from theory to practice, including detailed lessons from applications such as home visitation and other intensive family strategies. This volume stimulates thinking about integrating research, policy, and practice, and in a progressive move, envisions social support within the larger context of child welfare reform. Dedicated to making social support programs theoretically grounded and thus able to withstand the rigor of application, this book provides a much-needed resource to practitioners, researchers, and students in social work, family studies, nursing/public health, and clinical and counseling psychology as well as educators and policy makers. "I am very impressed with Preventing Child Maltreatment Through Social Support. I think Ross A. Thompson has tackled a complex and important subject, producing a book that both practitioners and policymakers will find useful in their efforts to construct more effective programs to prevent child abuse. This book fills a unique gap in the child abuse prevention literature." --Deborah Daro, Director, Center on Child Abuse Prevention Research, Chicago "This book provides a coherent road map to the role of social support in dealing with the problem of child maltreatment. It is well researched and well thought out in every respect. Preventing Child Maltreatment Through Social Support is well digested intellectually: It covers the material in detail but is not overcome by detail." --James Garbarino, Director, Family Life Development Center, Cornell University

Multi-Tiered Systems of Support - Gary E. Schaffer - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Multi-Tiered Systems of Support - Gary E. Schaffer - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Multi-Tiered Systems of Support: A Practical Guide to Preventative Practice , by Gary Schaffer, makes it easy to decipher this important framework for delivering evidence-based interventions to improve students’ learning, behavior, and social-emotional outcomes. This text focuses on the common elements of the intervention service delivery models comprising Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) to offer step-by-step guidance for each stage of the process. Covering MTSS from a "whole child" perspective, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support empowers current and future educators to set up learners for the greatest success in school and beyond. This book simplifies the MTSS model using an overall analogy of the four basic steps to building a house. We start with the foundation as the history of MTSS, the walls as the four main intervention service delivery models, the framework as common components that link all delivery models, and then the roof that represents MTSS as a whole. Diagrams, checklists and flowcharts accompany each step of the MTSS model to organize and summarize the information on each model. Case studies offer practical, in-depth examples of implementation strategies across models within MTSS. Unique sections on data-based decision making and infusing culturally responsive practices into RTI, SWPBS, Social-Emotional RTI, and Suicide Prevention and Intervention offer readers ways to better adapt and refine their implementation of MTSS. Through this text, readers will have a convenient resource that will save them time locating information on interventions, measures of universal screening, and progress monitoring unique to each intervention service delivery model within MTSS.

Positive Behavior Support at the Secondary "Targeted Group" Level - Melinda S. Mitchiner - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Positive Behavior Support at the Secondary "Targeted Group" Level - Melinda S. Mitchiner - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Seal the gaps in student learning with targeted intervention Research on positive behavior support has focused largely on tier one, school-wide disciplinary policies, and tier three interventions tailored to highly problematic students. This leaves a gap in the middle. "Yellow zone", or tier two, interventions are an extremely effective way to address many challenging behavior and disciplinary issues in small group settings. Positive Behavior Support at the Secondary "Targeted Group" Level shows teachers how to identify the students who can benefit from tier two interventions and demonstrates how to create an implementation plan that delivers results. Focusing on proactive strategies rather than reactive solutions, Riffel and Mitchiner’s research-based techniques include: - - General strategies that can be applied at the individual student level, such as self-management, proximity control, and the Premack principle and peer mentoring - - Comprehensive action plans that anticipate the full range of disruptions that may occur - - A useful behavior rating sheet proven effective in improving student behavior - - "Funk Sway" For The Classroom: Using Feng Shui principles to create a classroom environment that enhances productivity, learning, and creativity - Apply the techniques in this book to reduce challenging behavior, improve school climate, and improve outcomes for ALL students. "This book is easy to read, understand, and implement in any classroom or school. Teachers will be drawn to the resources that can be copied and used immediately! I can’t wait to apply some of these practices in my classroom!" Rachel Spenner, Sixth Grade Teacher Westridge Elementary School
