Psychology week

27 to 30 April, 2016 is psychology week organised by the school of psychology, makerere university. the theme is "psychology and public health: role of psychology in the fight against cancer in Uganda." exhibitors and interested participants are invited. contact Richard +256701145864 for further information.

psychology cannot be separated from public health. it is integral. aspects of transgenerational trauma from which cancer may be inherent; aspects of lifestyles concerns from which much of the cancer explanations radiate; and positively living with cancer are psychological perspectives that contribute to efforts in successful cancer management -to ease recovery and dignified life with cancer for the very advanced sufferers. the event is thus worth attending.

Urban Youth Unemployment: Which Way to Go?

Jacob Waiswa, Peace Centre,

Makerere University

June, 2012

 

Unemployment is a common global challenge responsible for the increasing instabilities recorded in recent years and putting pressure governments to reform and create meaningful policies to reduce it, so that citizens realize their dreams of career, social, economic and spiritual fulfillment. Without those life goals, the citizens are reduced to miserable; psychologically insecure, healthily insecure, food-wise insecure, personally or physically insecure, economically insecure, politically insecure, and spiritually insecure.

The phenomenon is massive in urban areas, where land is scarce, opportunities for development are few, and society is highly classified to favor access of national resources and benefit from the available resources by a given class of people. In the developing countries favor goes to members of the ruling families and their close friends.

For a country like Uganda, agriculture, which presently employs 70% of the population directly or indirectly has land (the most important factor of production) limited to areas distant from urban centers yet lacking technological awareness, leadership foresight and priorities, and integrity. 

Urbanization influences population patterns. It is constantly spreading in rural and semi-rural areas, leading to shifts in development statuses of those areas from being merely periodical auction centres to trading centres, from trading centres to towns, from towns to municipalities, and from municipalities to cities of various degrees of modernization. 

The developments come with attractions to mainly young people in form of entertainment, modern dressing styles, generally good life, jobs of all scales, better education, better health facilities, better market prices or market for items, places for adventure, and areas to best nurse dreams for success.

Rapid urbanization and industrialization makes a strong case for rural urban areas. In Uganda, the present and former industrial parks have neighborhoods infested by congested settlements by people, who came from distant areas of the country; as far as Arua, Teso, Lango, Acholi, Karamoja, Toro, Ankole and so on. To some, several generations have risen up in and around urban settlements.

In pursuit of good life and prosperity, internal immigrants are faced with stiff competition for development opportunities, which suffocates their ambitions; forced to resort to unethical and crude means of reaching life goals like bribery and corruption in recruitment institutions while frustrated youths move in robberies or killing to survival, or remain a time-bomb for future violence.

Congestion adds lots of seemingly invisible yet calamitous events. Daily life frustrations generally yield aggressive attitudes to the hardy personalities, and that is furthered in day-to-day errands like driving and health decision-making for other road users. Ever occurring accidents are thus inevitable and threaten lives. But also encroachment on forestland and wetlands has led to destruction of the environment and, in turn, worsened the livelihood situation through global warming, water scarcity, and famine.

The trend provokes concern among the political class, barely indicating it their responsibility to resolve the crises. When no solution is found, the countries run done into the valleys of battles to vent their frustrations or for the leaders to defend their greed and anti-people policies. Such were direct outcomes of the Arab spring revolutions in 2011 and of the on-going protests around the world as new approaches to making points to those in power, who are obliged to change the statuesque; about unemployment and unbearable economic situations.  In some countries, however, citizens have been forced to assimilate or to stomach their troubles, without having to express dissatisfaction. Governments achieve that through highly stringent laws.

From the mental public health perspective that gives rise to a sick population; very aggressive and destructive one, even to the personal-self. Besides, the population is so poor that it cannot afford basic needs, including proper nutrition and health care, or not even in position to exercise the discipline of preventive health. The biggest health challenge in developing countries has been maternal health.

Today, conception is a ‘junction’ between life and death. Citizens are too poor to afford critical care services, which leaves them with one choice; public health care facility, where negligence, lack of motivation, and limited personnel add to the ‘insult.’ Reducing the unemployment burden, among other anti-poverty initiatives could provide a new lease of life for citizens.

Uganda is one of the most corrupt nations in the world with a poor attitude towards the fight against corruption. Prosecution of corrupt people is discriminative. And because corruption is highly structured, the leadership is culpable. So the heads of anti-corruption crusades are forced to reach a compromise with corrupt administration in order to save their jobs. But population growth is at uncontrollable levels rendering governance difficult. Unless more resources are identified to keep with the pace of increasing population, so that industrialization is supported and the development the service sector reinforced to generate opportunities for job seekers and promote entry into production of private individuals, urban unemployment will be prevalent.

Government who are architects of science training have gone further to propose higher salaries to science professionals and incentives to science training. This however is another source of inequality and future disharmony. And there is no way security of the country can be guaranteed amidst widespread unemployment, high peak poverty, food insecurity, rising human insecurity, and ecological insecurity. The focus of professionalising the army to fight physical insecurities can always be a temporary fix and would not stand without the dealing with other forms of insecurity. However, it can facilitate their realisation.

Insecurity has been prevalent since 2005 climaxing into the 2011 protests expressing discontent about the economy and its managers. These though have been responded to by force of arms rather than through addressing real issues: urban unemployment. Despite the repressive approach to suppressing protests, inward responses (maladaptive) and interpersonal conflicts equally prevalent while waiting for widespread violence and eventual political collapse. Domestic violence was equally high in 2011 and early part of 2012. It is unthinkable for tax officials go about coercing citizens to pay tax when no income-generating activities exist for them to earn taxable incomes. As a consequence, the government runs out of revenues to run essential economic development initiatives.

While the government of Uganda is keen to attract foreign investors, it is beginning to grade them to fit the real demands of its nation. And already the immigrations have taken a step to scrutinize the so-called investors for validity authorization to work in the country. If this is emphasized foreign investment will turn out to be meaningful to the economy. It will be interesting approach encouraging industrialization outside urban areas, as it would not only help create employment but also to decongest the city, to facilitate protection of wetlands, and to facilitate improvement of public health. The country’s monitoring and evaluation system is influenced by the history of dictatorship, where passing decrees without accountability is the norm. It is another case of a structural problem that requires years of rehabilitation to make the M & E potent and ensure support to citizens’ economic dreams. The same is the case with the 77% lack of acknowledge of government efforts to eradicate poverty.

The choice over what training program to pursue is dependent largely on psychological and physical qualities. Unfortunately, the present economic environment shows limited opportunities in the public sector while its governance is marred with corruption, which chokes fair distribution of development opportunities. Current education, therefore, ceases to concentrate on ascertaining job availability for recent graduates to providing general knowledge and skills to adapt to numerous career roles and environment needs. For example, where the public sector fails to serve its people, the freely welcoming and accommodating private sector can be taken advantage of by graduates in a short-run while awaiting the jobs of their dreams. In fact, any training program should be one that prepares students for creative and management roles to survive and thrive in all situations.

It is notable that absence of leadership to manage the population and welfare needs (through effective planning, innovations, and employment) of the people is responsible for the limited participation in production process, poverty, widespread discontent, and violent protests. The youths have particularly been marginalised until early this year when funds were set aside to support youth initiatives. Only 37% showed they could explore their potential and rise to greater levels of development.

The congestion is one aspect of urban living that adds to the frustration and misery of unemployment. Encouraging industrialisations away from congested areas would help to evenly spread development, control migrations, manage well health and security issues, and, of course, provide employment opportunities to youths in their upcountry home areas.

The recruitment system is not only a victim of circumstances, as high population and limited opportunities (or stiff competition) for jobs in both the private sector and government, but also that background prompts job-seekers and recruitment agencies to apply unethical ways to achieve a common objective: ‘give me I give.’ That makes the recruitment system unfair as was showed at 78%.

Good investment is one which puts into perspective national resources, national needs, and national interests for sustainable well-being of a country’s citizens. For example, agriculture, being the biggest employer at 70% to 76% should have been given priority by decision makers and investment promoters. Unfortunately, the new threat (land grabbing) is spreading fast across the country-side and denying peasants the main source of livelihood (food production). Conflict is always a direct outcome of poor investment as was indicated by 52% dissatisfaction after it failed to address the needs and interests of the nation. 

Swift development according to desired time-frames cannot occur without the critical tool of monitoring and evaluation (M & E). It is an excellent application where people share a common background, common aspirations, common challenges, and have a shared responsibility in achieving common goals. However, the traditional is still new and institutionally weak. It is mostly emphasized in civil society bodies and found within them; it is the norm. With it limited in government institutions, impact in line with the aspirations of the people, too, is limited. Instead citizens are only preyed on by both their leaders, local capitalists (or agents of foreign firms), and foreign firms at the expense of the welfare of its people as they further give room to environment degradation, corruption, institutional decay, and entrenched citizens miseries. That explains the constant disharmonies between government and its people with dissatisfaction of the M & E tool at 79%.

While new thinking presses on innovations and entrepreneurship development, away from job seeking behavior, that thinking need to be concreted and developed across the country with a nationalistic backing of the government. Doing so would not only help develop citizen hidden potentials, but work to support other citizens through creation of employment opportunities, and provide an opportunity for every Ugandan to have some kind of project they run, for short and long-term benefit. Indeed a job-maker, at some point, dictates how much he or she would earn and when to take holidays, an element that lack or limited in most work-places. Otherwise, the focus of government, like other regimes elsewhere in Africa to focus on repressive tactics as remedies to popular discontent, provide no solutions, only worsens the situation.

The Relationship between Decision Making, Level of Attachment, Circumstances at Conception and Environment in Healthy Child Development: A Case of Children Growing up in Kampala and Wakiso Districts

By
Jacob Waiswa,
Dishma Inc


Introduction:
Parenting is a responsibility one finds himself or herself under voluntarily or involuntary. During adolescence, gradual changes that may be cognitive, emotional, biological, physical and social or environment occur. The qualities of changes are influenced by how well decisions are made at different levels of interaction (cognition, instinct or biology, emotional, social and/or natural environment) in relation to one’s sexuality. It all begins at conception –through important stages of birth, special care of newborns, weaning, and child in playful stage, socialization and learning, gender roles or interests, young stardom, youthful period and adulthood.

The study explored parents’ basis of taking on the responsibilities, quality and level of attachment, parent’s ability and circumstances under which she or he conceived and the parent’s nature of the environment and lifestyle. It went on to find specific relationships between parent’s decision making and quality of attachment, circumstances at conception and attachment, nature of environment and attachment –and environmental, itself, and decision making.

Method:

The target groups were young parents (18 years to 45 years) subjected to both structured survey questions and focused group discussions (FGD); and children (8 to 18 years) that participated in FGD only. The study had 52 participants of which 33% were from urban areas, 10% (urban) and 58% rural; 40% males and 60% females. SPSS tool was used for data analysis. Appropriate questions were constructed that enabled participants –to freely and honestly speak out from their own experiences. Group focused discussions with equal number of girls and boys (2:2); and adults (women and men) =3:3 were convened guided by specific themes –regarding gender issues, human rights, risky behaviors and behavior change, relations with parents, knowledge of life goals and problem solving amidst family and environment hazards. Unique cases were also sought of how children from poor backgrounds and as for parenting care managed to succeed late in life.


Results:

Correlation between decision making and quality of attachment was significant –showed by r=0.317, where p= 0.05 < 0.022. Correlation between circumstances faced at conception and quality and level of attachment was not significant because. r=0.261, and p=0.05 < 0.05. Correlation between environment and level and quality of attachment was not significant –indicated by r=0.124, when p=0.05 < 0.381. Correlation between environment and decision making was not significant –determined by r=0.187, p=0.05 < 0.184. From FDGs, equal treatment between boys and girls was emphasized (4:4) and (6:6) so that they both benefited from development opportunities; of education (both formal and informal) and employment. Friendliness between parents and children was highlighted (4:4) –with correcting behavior attached to light beating -with strongest emphasis put on friendly talking with children (6:6). However, to parents, family planning was still a big challenge –as hardly at all did men approve of it (regarding condom use), while women complained of hemorrhage and delayed resumption of pregnancy as most negative (2:6). Furthermore, condom use was out of every parent’s mind, given the fact that they were married (6:6). 1:6 of parents said that, because her husband did not care about family planning, she adopted inject-plan secretly. 2:6 of women nurtured a norm that alcohol eased delivery and was associated to healthy and pretty babies. In conclusion:

Failure of parents to ensure child health growth and development was by and large a result of poverty. This greatly hampered decision making as observed from r=0.317, where p=0.05 < 0.022. In rural and semi-urban areas it is only mainly men who went to work while women stayed home to cook and bare children. In the same category, the nature of jobs determined by their level of education did not at the same time help meet children development needs as women complained of men’s negligence. There is, thus, a need to start life skills education, poverty alleviation program and reproductive health (or health education) programs to help better family-life situation.

The Mentally and Physically Handicapped: A Community Responsibility...

Introduction


During the Nazi rule, the physically and mentally handicapped were set aside for mercy killing. In 1939, Hitler himself passed a degree requiring physicians to carry out mercy killing of patients considered incurable. Today, the new Nazi are those neglectful of the vulnerable persons or suffocate progress of human life.

Moving around rural and slum areas, the physically and mentally handicapped are tied up on ropes for fear of being raped or stoned to death, kept in the backyard -for being "not presentable" and "frightening" to visitors, or treated like convicted prisoners -whose activities would be limited to receiving food.

But they are human beings and entitled to dignifying treatment. They, for example, deserve access and/or right to medical attention, to learning opportunities, to movement (play and exercise), to employment, to appropriate technology (that considers their vulnerability), to recreational facilities right to a healthy environment and to participate in development of their countries.

In helping integrate them into society different technological designs would be developed to help integrate handicapped persons with learning opportunities to be responsibile to the self, self-sufficient and at some stage; be socially responsible citizens.

Here life skills -involvement self-understanding, dealing with stigma, self-management training, training in social skills, communication, negotiation, goal setting, health science basics and livelihood issues too could be integrated.

They could indeed have a life to live and a passion for life, though the community in which they live, must care and support them as fundamental contribution and community responsibility. We could all feel obliged to help these people -through not just giving, but also developing them to self-sufficiency.

Unfortunately, a big section lives in the most poor category -both financially and intellectually. Some communities, besides, hardly find a dollar a day to live on, they could luck both hope and plan for the vulnerable dependents as well. Instead, they would be locked up in the backyard as “useless.”

For poor families, they would not have necessary care from their care-givers -as out and about they would be moving and working in farm-lands to make ends meet. So neglect of the disabled people could be due to a wider problem as poverty.

But, also, there is a category of the elderly -who at the same time acting as care-givers. There could be sadness in such a home -as they are both vulnerable. At "worst," the physically handicapped need lifting up and down -which adds on the misery. It would be at this point that community support would mean a lot to the lives of the disabled people.

There must be not only a policy that protects and supports emancipation of the vulnerable people as well as social and economic structures that put them (vulnerable people) into transformation processes.

That could be show of love, care and support by communities, supporting developmental paths of the vulnerable through institutional and social structural accommodation. We would need also to be appreciative of them as people we have to live and develop with.

Problem

Vulnerable people (the physically and mentally handicapped -MPH) are so often neglected first by their families and later communities. They are considered useless to society and their potential hardly explored. So they are made to be and remain destitute within their own communities -as though permanent sentence to misery and subsequent extinction.

Even the few local non-government organizations, whose charter would be to emancipate them, hardly do so either because they lack capacity or just part of the neglectful society in as far as supporting the mentally and physically handicapped is concerned.

Justification

The vulnerable people have faced a cruel face of the community through neglect and absence of intervention mechanism to make them productive and be able to contribute to the development of their communities. Yet the real community sense would be to identify vulnerable people as credible to society, whose voices must be heard and equally have access to developmental opportunities.

Goal

Provide a more meaningful and dignifying treatment to the vulnerable groups as people who deserve a good life to live, demonstrate productivity sense and participate in community development -with community sense of support and recognition. Click here to read more...

Background

Like many unlucky children who do not choose to be mentally or physically handicapped -Regina Kiiza was born health, but later experienced long term complications -leading to physical and mental strains. She has spent her whole life under medication and half of it hospitalized -with multiple health complications that developed and besieged her.

But currently, she is under home care arrangement. This, though, has denied her chance to go to school, adventure about her immediate family, help and manage herself (to bath, wash or move to the showers) and increased burden to care takers/care givers -who have to supervise her and at the same time fend for a living.

Loneliness and lack of adequate physical exercises, therefore, turned out to be a torture -which aggravated already affected body. It would be hard for someone to imagine as much as look at. And for some people, who care, their expertise is rendered useless, without other supportive resources to foot rehabilitation and health supervision budget. Instead, find raising voices in solidarity with affected persons like Regina, a bigger alternative.

Such voices are meant to awaken communities both local and international in the face of an alarming state of affairs -where the mentally and physically handicapped (MPH) are not only beset by nature but sidelines and forgotten by communities -with whom they are both charged with responsibility to look after God's creation (Genesis 1:20-23). MPHs too were created for good just as all beings are good in the face of God.

The foundation, therefore, wishes to use Regina's case and/or experience to reach out to all children and adults caged for being mentally or physically handicapped -by way of supporting them and helping them sustain good health, be productive and responsible citizens, as well as generate and sustain hope to achieve the best in their lives.

Goal

Provide a more meaningful and dignifying treatment to the vulnerable groups as people who deserve a good life to live, demonstrate productivity sense and participate in community development -with community sense of support and recognition.

Objectives

To raise voices of the MPH
To advocate for environmental designs that fit the MPH e.g. Toilets, building steps and accessibility, sports and games facilities, schooling structural erection and medical technological equipment's
To ensure the physically and mentally handicapped access opportunities for self-development e.g. Skills formation, formal education, employment and recreation
To reduce self and community stigma
To fight abuses against the vulnerable groups e.g. Rape and neglect
To fight HIV/AIDS amongst the MPH
To promote the fight against poverty in families with the MPH
To promote research in medical technologies that would help improve the normal functioning and performance of the MPH

Activities

Journaling and radio or television talk shows
Petitioning governments and international bodies about plight of the MPH
Career guidance and counseling for MPH
Rehabilitation or restoration of the productive sense and performance of the MPH
Seeks grants for families of MPH to start income generating projects
Offer skills in self-management, communication, social, assertive, life-planning and livelihood
Research and Reporting
Fundraising and projects support

Projected Out-comes

Community acknowledgment of the plight of the MPH
Reduced self and community stigma
Productivity and resourcefulness
Their employability
Respect and dignifying treatment from family and community members
Improved (normal) functioning and wellbeings of MPH
Participation in community initiatives/activities for development by MPH
Happiness and joy on the their faces
Community engagement in supporting of their health and livelihood development
Portrayal of love for the MPH
MPH increased and sustained hope for the future

Target Group

Children and the youthful physically and mentally handicapped
The elderly

Partner Institutions

Government ministries for welfare, children and youth, health and the disabled
Local and international organizations dealing in related services
Community members
Donor agencies and individuals

Monitoring and Evaluation

The programme intends to run in segmented time frame meant to review its impact -and this would be a period of three years -with mini-impact assessments (monthly) and final assessment, yearly. The indicators of success would be;

No more damping for the physically and mentally handicapped at home like prisoners
Increased number of participants in vocation and rehabilitation centers
Increased members subscribing to RFPMH
More positive yet supportive comments received from communities as evidence of impact
Reduced guardian burden for management of vulnerable people
More disabled (s) seen moving themselves in wheels or other accessories and in developmental activities or recreation.
Participation of the disableds in family and community events

Strength

Increasing number of psychologically and links that would reinforce rehabilitation needs of the physically and mentally handicapped.



Challenges

Positive impacts in human behaviour are not easy to measure, and in most cases, take long to be noticed. However, evidence of positive community response to the receipt
of RFPMH services shall be of much interest to the monitoring and evaluation team.
