4. A Comparative Evaluation of State Day Care Personnel Standards.

Author

McCormick, Francis Michael

Abstract

This master's thesis presents a survey of state standards for day care personnel using data gathered from copies of general state day care requirements. Requirements for day care teachers are organized into five categories: health, education, abilities, personality and extraneous variables. Five questions are asked in the survey concerning minimal state requirements, most frequently mentioned specific and general requirements, personality requirements and whether a set of personality traits could be identified from survey responses. The survey indicated that standards were highly variable across states. Among other results, the survey indicated a ranking of priorities across states. Health, education, extraneous, personality and ability ranked from most to least important as state concerns. Although previous research had indicated the importance of personality variables in teacher performance, these traits were not emphasized in many state requirements. Important personality traits mentioned most frequently, however, included Good Character, Understanding and Emotional Maturity. Tables are presented which allow comparisons of specific and general requirements across states. Relevant research and historical data on day care are also reviewed. (BD)

Abstract

Family members often provide significant support and care to their relative who has a mental illness. Nonetheless, how family members might be part of an individual's mental health recovery journey is rarely considered. The aim of this study was to investigate how those with a mental illness define 'family' and the role of family (if any) in their recovery journey. A qualitative approach was used. Purposive sampling and snowballing were used to recruit and conduct semi‐structured interviews with 12 people who have been diagnosed with a severe mental illness. Participants defined family in various ways with some being very inclusive and others more selective. There was acknowledgement that family contributed to the individual's recovery in a myriad of ways, although the need for boundaries was stressed. While no participants suggested that their family might become active treatment facilitators, they did want clinicians to support them in talking to their family about their mental illness. A multifaceted approach is needed to promote family‐focused recovery practice. The needs of different family members and the needs of the family as a group should be considered concurrently alongside the individual's needs in their recovery plan. Individual and relational components of recovery should be embedded in policy and clinical practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
