Work-related needs and experiences of people recovering from mental health problems
Full text linkThis research adopts a critical realist methodology to gain explanatory insight into the job retention challenges faced by employees recovering from mental health problems. Methods involved a literature review of qualitative job retention research, a comparative case study approach, and service user collaboration. Occupational, resilience and mental health recovery perspectives were the major orientating concepts. One case study comprised seven employed people who were using acute mental health services. The second comparative case study comprised fourteen users of a community- based job retention project for employed people with mental health problems. All twenty- one participants took part in individual interviews following a semi-structured format. The data were analysed within a critical realist paradigm using a combination of inductive and deductive thematic and constant comparative analysis. Work mattered to people during recovery because of feelings of guilt about not working, and because some feared that work had, or could, exacerbate their mental health problems. Such fears co-existed with a strong sense that work was an important part of people's lives in terms of finance, social capital, occupational capital (a concept newly proposed in this thesis) and personal capital. These assets were under threat, but they also had the potential to be deployed to support recovery. Participants were on complex and uncertain return-to-work journeys, facing a combination of internal and external obstacles. Barriers arose from the direct impacts of mental health problems, external and internalised stigma, job demands and the workplace environment - particularly relationships with colleagues and, above all, managers. The concept of iatrogenesis here is newly applied to being on sick leave, conceived of as an otherwise necessary therapeutic measure which brings with it additional challenges, risking delay to recovery and return to work. Findings suggest that return-to-work trajectories are likely to be more successful and sustainable when such challenges are addressed. The implications for practice and policy drawn out in this research are related to keeping in touch with work; mitigating the iatrogenic effects of sick leave; maintaining work orientation and identity; return-to-work planning; and harnessing 'natural', specialist and peer supports. Broader implications were that occupational and resilience perspectives can be integrated to help understand the challenges people with mental health problems encounter when seeking to retain employment. This, in turn, lent support to a social critique which called for work to be organised in a way that is centred on people's needs and well-being, and not just economic efficiency.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo

Short Report On The Intensive Archaeological Survey Of Travis County\u27s Cameron Road Improvements Project Travis County, Texas
Full text linkHicks & Company archaeologists, working on behalf of Travis County, recently conducted an archaeological survey for the proposed Cameron Road Improvements Project from Gregg Lane to State Highway (SH) 130, in Travis County, Texas (Figure 1). According to current design plans, the existing two-lane road is to be expanded to a four-lane arterial road. The existing roadway is an undivided facility with one travel lane in each direction and no shoulders. The proposed project would construct two 3.50 meter (11 feet) wide lanes in each direction, bike lanes, concrete curbs and gutters, and sidewalks on both sides of the road. Other proposed improvements include the addition of new drainage and water quality management infrastructure. Bridge crossings are planned at Gilleland Creek and a tributary of Gilleland Creek. Depth of impacts are expected to be less than a meter for the majority of the alignment; however, support columns at bridge locations would be anchored into consolidated substrate at depths potentially exceeding 7 meters (23 feet). The proposed road improvements project, including realignment of the existing facility at approaches, is approximately 3,428 meters (11,246 feet) in length within a construction corridor that is 33.5 meters (110 feet) in width.
The Cameron Road Improvements Project is being funded by Travis County and, as such, is subject to the Antiquities Code of Texas (ACT). As depicted in Figure 1, in coordination with the Texas Historical Commission (THC), it was determined that only the previously unsurveyed portion of the proposed project would require archaeological survey (see letter Wolfe to Haefner, July 7, 2014 in Appendix A). This requisite survey area begins approximately 40 meters (132 feet) north of the intersection of Cameron Road and Gregg Manor Road and terminates at the intersection of Cameron Road and South Killingsworth Lane, for a total distance of 670 meters (2,198 feet). Investigations were conducted under Texas Antiquities Permit #6960 in accordance with the THC’s and the Council of Texas Archaeologists’ (CTA) guidelines for intensive archaeological survey, with Hicks & Company archaeologists surveying 100 percent of the requisite portion of the proposed project. During the investigations, 19 shovel tests and three backhoe trenches were excavated, with all excavations negative for cultural materials.
Investigations were conducted on August 5 and September 29, 2014, requiring approximately 22 labor hours to complete. Josh Haefner served as Principal Investigator. Josh Haefner, Shannon Smith, and Chris Lamon conducted the survey while, as Geographic Information System (GIS) specialist, Jerod McCleland produced all maps and graphics. This report includes chapters on environmental background, previous surveys and recorded sites, field methodology, and a discussion of the results of the field investigation. These sections are followed by a conclusion containing formal regulatory recommendations. Also included are appendices on regulatory correspondence (Appendix A), locations of shovel tests and backhoe trenches (Appendix B), and shovel test results (Appendix C). As no archaeological sites were documented during the investigations, all project-generated notes, forms, and photographs will be curated at Hicks & Company in Austin, Texas. This report is offered in partial fulfillment of Texas Antiquities Permit #6960
