  26. Discussion

  27. Vehicular Accident • Type of illness: acute severe • The greater the severity, the greater the stress • Lack of emotional preparation • Lack of financial preparation • Illness brings out the best, but may also surface pre-existing dysfunctions

  28. Impact of Illness to the Family • Stage I - Onset of Illness • Stage II - Reaction to Diagnosis • Stage III - Major Therapeutic Efforts • Stage IV - Early Adjustment to Outcome • Stage V - Adjustment to the Permanency of the Outcome

  29. Impact of Illness to the Family • Realization that their daughter sometimes disobeys them • Centripetal • Family drawn closer together despite physical distance • Belief Systems • “Love offerings” from fellow parishioners • “God is good to us” • Family Resiliency and Coping Mechanisms • Adaptability • Hard work and cooperation • Forgiveness

  32. Resiliency and the Individual • From an early age, individuals learn resilient behavior at home and in their communities. • Overall, the children’s health and success in school, relationships, and jobs correlated with: • their disposition, intelligence, communication skills, and internal locus of control • parental warmth and support, and positive relationships with siblings or other adults • and support systems in school, church, or community clubs that rewarded competence and provided a value system.

Accessed 12 January 2011 <http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Publications/EDC53.pdf>.

  33. Resiliency and the Family • Families that learn how to cope with challenges and meet individual needs are more resilient to stress and crisis. • Healthy families solve problems with cooperation, creative brainstorming, and openness to others. • Social support and connectedness (vs isolation) contributes to family resiliency.

  34. Family Adjustment and Adaptation Response Model (FAAR) • used to explain how families react to and manage change. • Adjustment phase • Adaptation phase.

  35. The Family Adjustment Phase

  36. Adjustment Phase Steps • Period preceding a family stressor event • Prior strains produce changed family demands • poor communication • hardships • economic circumstances • Family appraises the relationship between their existing resources to adjust to the change before defining the stressor event • Deciding upon a plan to manage the new situation

  37. Adjustment Phase Steps • Families experience either stress (positive) or distress (negative) when they conclude that the situation is either unpleasant or undesirable. • The family will respond in one of three ways. • Avoid, deny or ignore the stressor and its resultant demands hoping it will resolve itself • Eliminate the demands by changing the stressor or altering its definition • Accept the demands of the stressor and make changes accordingly (assimilation). • The first two actions may protect the family unit by minimizing the changes required, • HOWEVER, they are more likely to lead to maladjustment. • While assimilation may involve the reallocation of resources it is most likely to result in a satisfactory outcome or nonadjustment.

  38. The Family Adaptation Phase • The occurrence of a crisis is not a signal that the family has failed or is dysfunctional. • The adaptation phase is characterized by the family’s recognition of the need to make change • Modifying established rules, roles, goals and/or patterns of interaction. • Occur in two distinct levels. • Restructuring • Consolidation

  39. Level 1: Restructuring

  40. Level 1: Restructuring • One or more family members become aware of an inability to meet the combination of established and new demands (the pile up or aA factor). • They share an understanding of the problem (cC) and have a realistic view of the availability of resources (bB). • They are able to agree on and implement solutions that influence the family’s transition through the phase. • Ex. using resources to solve problems, correctly appraising and accurately defining the situation families are able to maximize the solutions available. • The family’s problem-solving efforts and structural changes are aimed at: • management of specific demands • changes to accommodate demands • restoring organization and stability to the family unit.

  42. Level 2: Consolidation

  43. Level 2: Consolidation • After initiating change that results in some restructuring. • This may involve such things as a previously unemployed family member obtaining paid work or a change of residence. • Focus is on attempting to mold the family into a coherent unit. • One or more family members become aware of the family having made significant change. • Attempt to facilitate a shared family awareness + acceptance of the restructuring. • Success at this level involves all members of the family unit. • Changes are implemented (by trial and error) in the action phase.

  44. Level 2: Consolidation • Synergizing: family’s attempt to coordinate and pull together as a unit • Interfacing: Acknowledging interactions between the family and community when attempting to redefine their role • Needs and resources with community needs and resources is critical for successful adaptation • Compromising: A realistic appraisal of family circumstances and a willingness to accept a less than perfect solution. • System maintenance relies upon optimal levels of morale and esteem of family members.

  45. Legal &Road Safety Issues Legal Violations Underage/unlicensed driving of a borrowed motorcycle (P750 penalty to driver Allowing an unlicensed person to drive MV (P750 penalty to owner) • Road Safety Issues • Unskilled & unlicensed driver • Risk to self • Risk to others • Speeding and overtaking (risk taking behavior) prompted accident
