“…Previous studies (Bishop, 2005; Kelly & Lambert, 1992) were focused mainly on the ill/disabled person in the family while today's literature also shows an ever-growing interest in understanding the toll on body and mind of close relatives managing illness/disability in a family member. Physical, emotional, and social effects extend long after the initial diagnosis, dependency increases, and changes in lifestyle are created (Biegel et al, 1991; Brown & Barbarin, 1996; Campbell & Patterson, 1995; Feigin, 1998; Grant et al, 2004; Livneh, 2001; McDaniel et al, 1992; McDaniel, Campbell, Hepworth, & Lorenz, 2005; Power & Dell-Orto, 2004; Rolland, 1994).…”

Coping with disability in the family is a multifaceted endeavor entailing changes in all spheres of life. Such changes affect not only the afflicted person but also the immediate relatives. The main objective of this study is to propose a comprehensive definitional framework for the quality of life concept, based on an action systemic approach to meet the challenge suggested in the literature. The work was focused mainly on examining the suitability of the systemic quality of life model for ascertaining life quality in family members coping with chronic illness in a relative. Ninety-four subjects in 47 families with a chronically ill or disabled relative were questioned formally. The model proved to be a valid and reliable instrument for this purpose, as well as affording us a picture of both the level and structure of the quality of life. Four significant differences were revealed in the four domains of the model: personal, physical, social, and cultural. The discussion interprets the level and structure of the subjects quality of life, and deals with its significance to the intervention process.

“…The information presented in the table implied that these respondents may have to share resources with their other siblings, which may also affect their choices for the future. Power and Orto (2014) said that siblings possibly react in positive or negative ways because of the changes in a family and they probably encounter jealousy, resentment, pressure from parents, overprotection and disinterest. This means that the greater the number of siblings in the family, the more that they are jealous of their other siblings or are pressured to make better career decisions because it may impact their family.…”

This research determined the trends and challenges in career preferences of the public high schools in Cebu City, Philippines. The study participants were 35 students, including five guidance counselors and advocates (GCA) from different identified public national high schools. This research used a quantitative-qualitative mixed design through a focused group discussion to confirm the responses of the respondents. The results show that students often choose careers that suit the needs of their families. Sometimes, they use Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and My Space to seek a job, base their choices in popular courses/degrees today, they even use technology to do that or choose a career that fits their abilities. According to the GCAs, most of the students lack motivation and do not know the deeper reasons for the courses that they want and just pick a degree program just for the sake of having one. Sometimes, they lack information about different careers, base things on practicality, they cannot decide, they do not have a choice and their parents choose their career for them. The findings suggest GCAs need to encourage learners, and their parents to make use of a career pathing design for them to be guided in terms of their career decisions.

This article describes a model for working with families of disabled persons. The proposed model suggests knowledge and skills that help the family adjust to the changes imposed by a disability and become partners in the rehabilitation process. Particular attention is focused on identifying family needs, with an emphasis on short-term intervention at specific "trigger" points in the rehabilitation process. Time-limited intervention strategies, education, support, and prevention also are described.
