Background Homelessness among older African American women is emerging as a serious social problem. The increasing cost of living, diminishing
community resources, and shrinking retirement benefits, as well as reduced social services are resulting in greater numbers
of older minority women becoming homeless. Aims This investigation explores the relevance of faith and spirituality to an advocacy assessment designed to help participants
resolve issues that operate as barriers to their leaving and staying out of homelessness. Methods A substudy of a larger research and development project was undertaken, in which qualitative interview methods were used
to illuminate the role of faith and spirituality resources in the lives of 84 older homeless African American women. Comparative
thematic analysis of illustrative cases was undertaken to better understand the role of faith and spirituality in the women’s
lives and in how they used faith and spirituality in coping with homelessness. Findings Five dimensions of faith and spirituality, (a) identity and beliefs; (b) affiliation and membership; (c) involvement; (d)
practices; and (e) benefits, served as promising resources in understanding life spaces of homeless minority women and identified
promising advocacy strategies. Two cases describe the realities of homelessness for older minority women endeavoring to transition
out of homelessness and illustrate how faith and spirituality can buffer stress, facilitate coping, and sustain motivation.
Conclusions How older homeless African American women use their faith and spiritual resources to cope with demands of homelessness, challenges
of transition, and recovery from the multiple traumas resulting from being homeless makes the assessment of faith and spirituality
an important part of the advocacy process. 相似文献

This paper considers the pervasive resistance to ‘take in’ both physical and emotional or psychic sustenance that is demonstrated by the anorexic patient. It goes on to explore the relationship between these resistances and impeded psychological growth and development. It is suggested that such resistances to ‘taking in’ serve a defensive function, in that the patient manages to maintain psychic equilibrium by limiting, modifying or even avoiding any stimuli that is perceived to be threatening. This notion is considered further in specific relation to the depressive anxieties and conflicts associated with Oedipal issues and clinical material is used to illustrate this. 相似文献

In the present study, an investment model framework was applied to identify associations between partner verbal sexual coercion and dating relationship outcomes, including relationship commitment and maintenance. Undergraduate women ( N = 180) provided self-report data on investment model variables and verbal sexual coercion within their current relationships and returned 6 to 8 weeks later to report on their relationship status. About 28% of the participants endorsed partner verbal sexual coercion. Women in sexually coercive relationships reported greater investment but did not differ from other women in satisfaction, commitment, or later relationship maintenance. Results revealed indirect effects of partner sexual coercion on relationship commitment through greater perceived investment. Sustaining verbal sexual coercion in ongoing dating relationships may represent a type of relationship investment that indirectly promotes subjective commitment. Additional studies of verbal sexual coercion in committed romantic relationships are needed. 相似文献
