青少年科職業治療 潘恩賜職業治療師 Public Education Series No. 13 (2013)

不論老幼，我們都有我們的「職業」，小朋友的職業是「學生／學習者」、老人家是「退休人士」‥‥‥所以，只要因為病患而影響了生活規律，男女老幼都可以接受職業治療的訓練，以減少病患對他們造成的影響。職業治療師為他們建立復康計劃，著眼訓練病人平衡工作／學習、自理和餘暇三方面的生活需要，為有需要的青少年引入輔助器具及設計重回生活的家居及工作/學習的環境。

　　青少年階段，正直生理、心理成長的衝擊，從而尋找自己在社會上的生活意義，建立自我形象去面對成年期生活上的種種挑戰。對青少年病者，職業治療師的關注範圍與其他年齡層的範圍相若：自我照顧、學習與工作及運用餘暇方面。但會因應青少年個人成長的步伐及病患影響的程度設計個人化的治療目標，讓他們慢慢建立獨立生活的信心。



　　青少年科的職業治療訓練內容包括：

1. 促進身心功能的訓練：如小肌肉訓練、書寫訓練、執行功能訓練、情緒管理訓練、社交技巧訓練；
2. 促進自我照顧能力的訓練；
3. 職業性向的評估及輔導；
4. 職業復康及輔助就業；
5. 生活重整課程；
6. 家居／探訪，作出改善建議；及
7. 重投社區訓練（肢體障礙）

在一般公營醫療服務中，都會設有職業治療服務。此外，部份各志願機構、特殊學校、職業訓練中心及私營機構，亦會有職業治療服務。另一方面，鑒於職業治療與生活息息相關的理念，時至今日，職業治療師更會踏出醫院，以職業治療重燃生活動力的角度，協助有需要的人士。在世界各地，職業治療師更會駐校工作，協助老師識別及提供臨床治療予有學習障礙的學童。

　　從「職業」引發生活意義 ，無論處身哪一個環境，職業治療師總希望人們無論疾病、健康，殘障，都能有一個充滿生活動力的人生！

Adolescent Transition Care Assessment Tool, Public Education Series No. 12 (2013)

Transition care is a purposeful, planned process that addresses the medical, psychosocial and educational or vocational needs of adolescents and young adults with chronic physical and medical conditions as they move from child-centred to adult-oriented health-care systems.

In Hong Kong, most adolescents with chronic illnesses are managed in the public health-care system. As these patients develop and mature, they would need to move on to adult services. Literature has highlighted the different adverse health outcomes in patients whose care in transition had been poorly managed.

In the past few years, there has been a call for the development of a better transition care service in Hong Kong. Worldwide, various transition models have been proposed but evaluation of model effectiveness has been difficult because of the diverse clinical conditions and many other factors.

Paediatric and adult physicians have identified the following in the development of transition care locally - disease complexity, patient risk stratification, availability of resources, professional expertise and training, volume of patients, regionalization of medical services, and importantly the transition care policy. Progress in the development of transition care has been made.

This Adolescent Transition Care Assessment Tool was developed by HKSAH to assist health professionals in providing a better transition care. Its content is self explanatory. The copy is provided free. You are most welcome to download for your care of adolescents and their families.

管教子女方式 馮偉正醫生 Public Education Series No. 11 (2013)

近數十年的發展心理學硏究發現，父母不同的管教方式對子女(特別是青少年階段）的成長以至身心健康有著深遠的影響。學者就家長執行紀律的手段、溝通方式、期望、管控程度、溫情方面歸納出四種管教子女的模式。

高壓專制式管教（Authoritarian Parenting)

在這種管教方式下,子女須遵由父母訂下各種嚴厲的規條，而犯規通常引致處罰。規條的嚴謹程度往往偏離情理，子女亦無從異議。父母一般對子女有很高的期望，卻漠視子女的感受和身心發展需要，只要求他們「唯命是從」。在這管教下成長的子女，一般有很高的服從性，處事效率也不俗，然而他們往往不快樂、自我形象較低和社交能力較弱，及至青春期，有可能衍生消極抵抗，陽奉陰違的反叛行為。

縱容放任式管教（Permissive Parenting)

以這方式管教的家長，一般對子女沒有太多要求。對子女的成長、自理和自制能力沒有很高的期望，因此他們甚少管束子女的紀律。這類父母往往注重子女的物質和情感需要多於其品行。他們對子女的管教往往流於寬鬆，採用朋友般的溝通方式，投其所好，儘量避免與子女衝突。在這種管教方式下成長的子女，自我制約一般較弱、紀律性和服從性較差、學業成績和操行往往欠佳。

忽略抽離式管教 （Uninvolved Parenting）

這是一種對子女低要求、少關顧和欠溝通的管教方式。父母一般仍供給子女日常基本所需，但對子女情感和發展成長的需要則採取抽離、置若罔聞的態度。 在這種管教方式下成長的子女，最常出現不快樂情緒、自我形像低落、自制能力欠佳、自信和能力感薄弱。

恩威並施式管教 (Authoritative Parenting)

為子女的品行訂下合理的期望和清晰的規條，讓他們有所適從。規管尺度並非一味嚴苛，能隨子女的發展需要和認知程度作出調整。這種父母也相對民主，較樂意聆聽子女的意見和想法，正面回應子女的異議質疑，並能從善如流。若子女犯錯或未達期望，父母會傾向善導為先、處罰為後。硏究發現，在種管教方式下成長的子女，一般較快樂和有自信，能力感較強，在學業上和處事上都較成功。

誠然，基於家長本身個性、子女數目、文化宗教背景、經濟狀況等因素影響，並非每一對家長都能做到恩威並施的管教,但箇中原則各位家長務當細察。還有一個關鍵不得不提，就是父母兩人須竭力合作、互相支持才能有效管教子女，讓他們快樂健康地成長。
