“…The data show clearly that caregivers are able to create emotionally supportive and positive care environments for their children, even under the most difficult circumstances. Strong and warm caregiving relationships are critical for children’s healthy psychosocial development, such as reducing children’s risk of mental illness and child abuse, and mitigating negative social experiences, such as exposure to drugs and violence (Berry & Malek, ; Cederbaum et al, ; Holte et al, ; Meinck et al, ). In this study, there were moving accounts of the warmth and cohesion that exists, even under very difficult living conditions.…”

“…There is a need for additional interventions to accelerate the achievement of child well‐being through holistic, appropriate and high‐impact interventions that can break the cycle of structural disadvantage facing many families with young children (Patel et al, ). We know that there are family, social and community factors that can support and promote child well‐being outcomes (Engle et al, ) and can mediate conditions of structural disadvantages and poverty (Cluver et al, ), such as warm, responsive and positive caregiving (Berry & Malek, ; Cederbaum et al, ; Gould & Ward, ). Hence, there is an imperative for ‘cash plus care’ interventions in South Africa (Patel, Hochfeld, & Moodley, ; UNICEF and DSD, ).…”

Perspectives of South African caregivers in receipt of Child Support Grants: Implications for family strengthening interventions

Cash transfers have delivered measurable benefits for poor and vulnerable children in low‐ and middle‐income countries. However, on its own, a cash transfer is insufficient to promote holistic child well‐being. In the quest for appropriate complementary family support services, known as ‘cash plus’ programing, this qualitative study sought to explore the perspectives of a group of South African caregivers, all of whom were in receipt of a Child Support Grant (CSG), in relation to their own caregiving and family functioning. Critical areas of support to families were identified to further scale up the already positive impacts of the CSG, such as mental health services, social supports for caregivers, decreasing levels of poverty and growing caregiving knowledge and skills. Key conclusions are that improving the quality and integration of public services and developing culturally appropriate and evidence‐based family strengthening programmes are critical to complement and boost the positive impacts of the CSG.

“…The theoretical framework presented in [26] is based on family systems theory, an extension of GST. The study examined whether the behavioural health of adolescents aged 11 to 17 years' old who were involved with child welfare systems can be assessed with caregiver characteristics and family processes.…”

A General Systems Theory Approach in Public Hearing Health: Lessons Learned From a Systematic Review of General Systems Theory in Healthcare

et al. 2020

General Systems Theory (GST), as it was introduced by Karl Ludwig von Bertalannfy, had a significant, yet mostly unacknowledged influence on systems theory. The purpose of the current review is to highlight and assess the application of the aforementioned theory in the healthcare field and suggest a new approach to the public hearing healthcare sector. A systematic literature review has been conducted in the electronic databases of ScienceDirect, Pubmed and IEEEXplore covering the years of 2009-2019, following the PRISMA guidelines. The article selection was performed to identify GST-related frameworks in the healthcare field and was completed through a process of removing duplicates and non-available articles, analyzing the tittle and abstract, and then reviewing the full text of each selected article. In the final analysis, 47 studies were selected and were thoroughly analysed. Almost half of these articles showed a practical implementation of GST-inspired frameworks, following different types of research methodology. Analysis of these methodologies identified the limitations and positive effects of GST in the healthcare field. Although there is a significant number of references in GST in the healthcare field over the last 10 years, applications of it need to be further tested and explored before they are put into real-situation testing. Simulation models and evidence-based approaches on a micro-, meso-and macro-level of systems should be used to provide the contextual information needed for establishing GST as a driving force in the healthcare field. To this context, a paradigm of GST data framework applied to the hearing loss screening area is hereby presented and discussed. It is shown that a GST approach can be used to identify equilibria in all levels, to balance gain and prediction capacity over time and enhance public hearing health approaches for treatment and management strategies. INDEX TERMS General systems theory, hearing healthcare, systemic approach, systematic review, public hearing health.
