家装设计中平面造型设计研究

家居室内环境的立体空间性质,是建立在二维建筑界面上来实施的。在造型中,任何平面造型都是点、线、面的具体组织与再现;要形成美而有视觉冲击力的设计,必须以造型法则巧妙地组合;运用逻辑构思可以拓宽思路,有效地提高设计水平,赋予设计现代的理性特征;墙立面设计要处理好与视觉平衡、肌理的关系。

Examining the Nursing Home Physical Environment Through Policy-Driven Culture Change

A critical need exists to challenge approaches to nursing home care due to rigid organizational factors and hospital-like culture. It has been argued that resident care needs to move toward a person-centered approach by addressing the organizational, social, and physical environments in nursing home facilities, a process often known as culture change. In response to this need, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has created funding for pay for performance (P4P) nursing home incentive programs to allow nursing home providers to receive CMS reimbursements for culture change in the facilities. Through care staff interviews, site observations, and a document review, this qualitative study assesses the impact of a Midwestern state P4P incentive program in three participating nursing homes. Using an environment and behavior (E-B) policy orientation framework, this study examines culture change through a focus on policy, the physical environment, place attachment, and social and psychological processes in the study settings.

Family involvement in the institutional eldercare context. Towards a new understanding

This article focuses on family involvement and its various patterns and expressions in the context of end-of-life care in a nursing home. Based on analyses from an ethnographic study carried out at a nursing home ward, the aim is to describe and analyze the conditions of aging and dying for the old residents, as well as effects on their visiting families and relatives. As in similar research findings, it became clear from the study that families continue to visit and contribute to the care of the old resident throughout the years, from the time of placement to their demise, but that this involvement might vary both in content and in extent. However, it was found that families' involvement (as well as their changing relationships and roles) is particularly shaped by the very process of dying and lingering aura of death on the ward. The analysis presented in the article evinces the difficult — and in many ways impossible — role of the family in the institutional end-of-life setting, and discloses the various patterns and manifestations of family involvement in this environment. Different meanings and implications of family involvement are discussed and highlighted.     

Family Therapy for Kids Without Families: Working Systemically With Children and Young People in Residential Care

A significant proportion (4%, Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2008) of children and young people in Australia live in some form of residential care, usually in small group‐homes staffed by residential care workers in shifts. However, as Hawkins‐Rodgers (2007) points out, these placements are often not resourced to heal the effects of trauma and multiple attachment disruptions in their residents. The lack of an archetypal ‘family’ has led in the past to family therapists considering that there is little work to be done with such clients. This leaves such placements to be supported most frequently by clinicians who specialise in behaviour management and other linearly founded models of practice. The Alternate Care Clinic (ACC) is the first mental health service in New South Wales dedicated entirely to children and young people in out of home care with a high level of complex needs. This article examines the systemic therapeutic model the clinic has developed in the last two years. In particular, the article seeks to explore the importance of ‘meaning making’ in a diffuse parental system, particularly with regards to the term ‘family’. The complexities of working in this area and possible ways forward are illustrated with a closely worked case study.     

人口老龄化背景下机构养老国内外研究比较

当前学界对机构养老的讨论日趋热烈,但遍观国内现有文献,对国外机构养老研究进展普遍关注不足。本研究通过从机构养老的概念界定、养老机构、入住老年人群、机构养老服务质量这四个维度对国内外机构养老研究成果进行归类梳理,发现国内机构养老研究在功能界定、管理与运营、服务质量监管等方面差距较大,而对于入住老年人群的需求和入住意愿分析方面则与西方差距较小。同时,我国机构养老的理论对于实践的指导作用并不显著,我国理论界相对于养老实践有滞后之虞。基于以上分析,本文提出以下建议：探索机构养老发展的新模式,完善养老机构管理与运营结构以及发展第三方服务监管体系。
