This third and final issue contains four articles, their authors and research sites representing three continents—Africa (Malawi), Europe, and North America. Several innovative features characterize this issue: the conceptualization of self-help, the methodology of studying groups, and a distinctive problem issue of economics. How is the self in self-help/mutual aid conceptualized? Who is the self? Must it always and inevitably be an individual person—as found in most of the articles published in this Journal. The European psychosocial tradition of researchers who study self help/mutual aid (see Borkman, 2006-2007) are more likely to include the community or other social units as the self in self-help (see e.g., Humble & Unell, 1989) than those in the North American psychosocial tradition. Similarly, the micro-credit and economics tradition of self-help research often includes the community when conceptualizing self-help. Three of the four articles in this issue implicitly or explicitly view the self in self-help/mutual aid as a collective unit, not an individual person. In the first article titled “Participatory Action Research as a Form of Mutual Aid and Self-Help in Malawi” by Vanessa Duren-Winfield and Liz Barber, the self in self-help is the Malawian learning community of teachers, students and U.S. researchers-teachers. In the second article by Jerome Seliger, Audrey Simons and Carl Maida titled “PromotoresFocused Screening and Education to Improve Diabetes Awareness and Self-Care","PeriodicalId":64356,"journal":{"name":"自我保健","volume":"73 1","pages":"105-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83081476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bjerke","doi":"10.2190/SH.5.1.G","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2190/SH.5.1.G","url":null,"abstract":"This ethnographic case-study explored people’s use of online Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) groups with a global membership. The main objective was to explore AA members’ preferences for using online AA groups, or not. Main queries were: Do participants use only online AA groups or both face-to-face and online groups? If they use only online groups, how do they explain their preference? If they use both, how do they view the online alternative? Finally, how do the AA members experience the global membership in the online groups? Can they identify with each other? The empirical basis for the discussion comprises data from participant observation in two international online AA groups for 1 year, involving content analysis of discussion threads, and a limited number of e-mail interviews. The result of the analysis is presented as a summary of what is gained from participation in online vs. F2F AA groups. The discussion of emerging themes suggests that online AA members can easily identify with each other despite their cultural differences. The majority of AA members in this study seem to prefer a combination of face-to-face and online AA groups. The plethora of AA resources on the Internet also seems to have provided AA members the opportunity to “customise” their recovery program and support network in a way that suits their particular needs and life situations, and in ways that transcend their native culture.","PeriodicalId":64356,"journal":{"name":"自我保健","volume":"17 1","pages":"73-104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80315096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings from that needs assessment provided direction for the activities of the Self-Help Network and insights for health and human service professionals. Health care has changed dramatically over the past 15 years, including interest in alternative treatments, higher costs, managed care, and greater use of Web-based information. It is difficult to determine what impact, if any, these changes have had on the needs of self-help groups. Consequently, the Self-Help Network conducted another asset and needs assessment of groups. Findings show that groups primarily need public awareness and referrals. Groups struggle with organizational issues such as finding meeting locations and shared leadership. The primary benefits of groups are the sharing between members, followed by information and education. Implications for health and human service professionals are discussed, including insights on how they can provide referrals and technical assistance to groups. Over the past half century, self-help groups have become a prominent component of healthcare systems across the world. Yet because of their grassroots nature, the existence of self-help groups was frequently only known through word of mouth.","PeriodicalId":64356,"journal":{"name":"自我保健","volume":"67 11 1","pages":"103-116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91103569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
