• W45853832 abstract "This is a 'client-oriented' study, initiated for the firsttime in Mauritius in the area of research in social welfare,aiming specifically at outdoor relief or residential institutions, and health services. It is postulated that the service--users arethe best judge of their needs. Thus, departing from the colonially inherited research methodologies and techniques by applying a down-up approach, 225 respondents, 25 from each of the 9 Districts in the island. were interviewed. using a combination of open-ended interview schedules, audio-tape,observational techniques for data collection. Alsointerviewed were some key senior and junior members of stafffrom the relevant government departments, politicians, andthe ordinary folks. Covert and observational processes wereused in relation to some residential establishments andthe psychiatric hospital because of the problems of access.The findings have shown that 98% of the recipientsexperience physical difficulties and 40% of this figure alsohave one or another form of mental illness. Other problemsencountered by them include inadequate income, loneliness,alienation, the stigma attached to disabilities, and abusesand violence of all forms, bureaucratic, racist, physical,mental, verbal, and emotional, inflicted, in some cases,deliberately by the carers, relatives, staff, and, in others', unconsciously. It was not an uncommon sight duringfieldwork to witness recipients being strapped to cots orbeds, locked out during the day, kept in specially builttin sheds, hidden inside the house, transferred to remotecorners at the back of the house beyond the public's view,or administered overdose of medication to exercise control.Welfare support is principally confined to a pension muchbelow subsistence level and some health care. 81% of therespondents receive these two services, but 19% of thesample population receive no welfare support at all in spite of their disabilities and inability to support themselves. Noless than an average of 86% of the respondents are dissatisfied with both the quantity and quality of services received, whilst, in the context of residential care, there is an impression of gratitude for the services. With the industrialization of the country, there is a corrosive impact on informal support in the family and in the community, which is resulting in a growing dependency culture and increasing reliance on the Welfare state across the socio-economic spectrum. 91% of the sample population believe that the government has a constitutional and moral duty to provide welfare assistance in time of need, thereby confronting the Mauritian society with difficult and complex issues, requiring honest and experienced leadership and determined and pragmatic political will to resolve." @default.
