Abstract

While practitioners might engage caregivers on their understandings of the disruptive behavioural disorders of their children, their perspectives are yet to be examined in a qualitative study. This study explored perspectives of primary caregivers on the disruptive behaviour of children who attended the child unit of Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital, in South Africa. Qualitative methods were used in a case study design. Nineteen participants were purposively sampled. The participants were interviewed using individual in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed using typological and bracketed grounded theory methods. Both methods revealed these themes: confusion, emotional build-up towards a meltdown; loss of others; spiritual and cultural (dis)connectedness; behaviour of others towards the children; something being wrong medically; behavioural difficulties when “I want my way”; emotional turmoil of caregivers; and corrective responses. Differences yielded by the analytic methods were a yearning for a better future, and the perspective that trauma had impacted the child’s behaviour. These findings suggest that practitioners may anticipate and support caregivers in their experiences of emotional turmoil, uncertainty and confusion. Caregivers may be informed regarding emotional dysregulation and that a therapeutic resource may be found in the knowledge that the caregivers have a yearning for a better future for their children.
主要照顾者的观点,他们的孩子在威斯科比精神病院的破坏性行为,南非。
虽然从业者可能会让照顾者了解他们孩子的破坏性行为障碍,但他们的观点仍有待于定性研究。这项研究探讨了主要照顾者对南非Weskopies精神病医院儿童病房儿童破坏行为的看法。在案例研究设计中使用了定性方法。有目的地对19名参与者进行了抽样。参与者接受了个人深入、半结构化访谈。使用类型学和括号内的基础理论方法对数据进行分析。这两种方法都揭示了这些主题:困惑、情绪崩溃;他人损失;精神和文化(不)联系;他人对儿童的行为;医学上有问题;“我想要我的方式”时的行为困难;照顾者的情绪混乱;以及纠正措施。分析方法产生的差异是对美好未来的渴望,以及创伤影响了孩子行为的观点。这些发现表明,从业者可能会在照顾者经历情绪混乱、不确定性和困惑时预测并支持他们。照顾者可能会被告知情绪调节障碍,并且在知道照顾者渴望孩子有一个更美好的未来的情况下,可以找到治疗资源。
