Abstract:

Decisions on entitlement to sickness benefits and return to work interventions have substantial impact on individuals’ lives and on society. In most Western European countries, such decisions are based on sickness certificates, which should provide information on how a disease or injury reduces the individual’s work ability. These are challenging and complex assessments. In 2008, guidelines for the management of sick leave were implemented in Sweden, emphasizing early assessments of work ability and return to work, and increasing the quality demands of sickness certificates by underscoring descriptions of activity limitations related to work. The overall aim of this thesis was to gain a deeper knowledge of the sick leave process with special emphasis on the content of sickness certificates and primary health care (PHC) professionals’ experiences with the process. Specific aims were to compare the quality of sickness certificates regarding descriptions of functioning by the use of WHO’s International Classification of Functioning, disability, and health (ICF), as well as the prescribed interventions before versus after implementation of the Swedish sick leave guidelines. The thesis comprises three studies. A cross-sectional design was used in studies I and II, which included 475 and 501 new sickness certificates consecutively collected in Östergötland County, Sweden, in 2007 and 2009, respectively. Text on functioning was analysed with a deductive content analysis using the ICF. Study III was an exploratory study using data from four semi-structured focus group discussions with a purposeful sample of PHC professionals (n=18) in Östergötland County. An inductive content analysis was used in this study. The thesis comprises three studies.

An inductive content analysis was used in this study. An overall conclusion drawn from this thesis is that patient functioning and needs might not be adequately communicated in the sick leave process. Despite the implementation of sick leave guidelines, this information is limited in sickness certificates and the collaboration is poor among the involved stakeholders, i.e., health care, the social insurance office, the employer and the OHS. The basis for decisions on entitlement to sickness benefits could be improved by including a description of the patients’ activity limitations or participation restrictions related to work demands. One way to enhance the decision basis might be to use the available team competencies at the PHC.

Ng, Fat L. "Investigating the health of non-drinkers : the sick-quitter and sick non-starter hypotheses." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2014. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1434888/.

Full text

Abstract:

Non-drinkers have been consistently found to have worse health outcomes than moderate drinkers in later life. Explanations for this include a protective effect of moderate alcohol consumption on health, or alternatively that some non-drinkers are ex-drinkers who may have had to stop drinking because of poor health hence suffering from a pre-existing poor health bias. Another factor, which has been unexplored in the literature, is the early life health and social circumstances of non-drinkers; this is the subject of investigation in this thesis. The Health Survey for England was used to explore the early life social, health and health behaviours of non-drinkers aged 18 to 34 years. The National Child Development Study and the 1970 British Cohort Study were used to investigate the childhood health characteristics of non-drinkers in early adulthood. Binary logistic regression was carried out to assess whether poor health from an early age and persistent poor health was associated with being a persistent non-drinker across time at different ages, adjusting for sex, highest qualification, mental health and marital and parental status. Poor health from an early age and persistent poor health were associated with being a lifetime abstainer, consistently between two cohorts, which is an original contribution to knowledge. Non-drinkers from an early age had higher rates of emotional and behaviour problems than drinkers; this may contribute to greater risk of cognitive decline. Furthermore non-drinkers in early adulthood had higher rates of health conditions in adolescence, and had lower educational levels from early adulthood. This might increase the risk of mortality among non-drinkers in later life through persistent multiple disadvantage from an early age. The health and social characteristics of non-drinkers in early life need to be considered when comparing health outcomes of non-drinkers with drinkers in later life. The worse health and lower social circumstances of non-drinkers from an early age may be why non-drinkers consistently have worse health outcomes than drinkers across a broad range of conditions.

Full text

Abstract:

In ancient Egypt the body was often anointed with scented oils and unguents not only for everyday toilette but also for ritual and religious ceremonies. The main religious context was during mummification when the body was anointed with unguents during ritual parts of the procedure, and also with substances for preservation. In some instances the anointing was extended to include the entire mummy, cartonnage, coffin and funerary furniture such as shabti boxes. Whilst extensive research into the materials used for preservation has been carried out, it has focused on samples taken from the body and bandages. This study explores anointing in ancient Egypt by analysing samples from ancient remains, analysed by microscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In some rare circumstances the wrapped mummy, cartonnage, coffin and funerary items were coated with a black unguent, the composition and purpose of which was unknown. Coating such items which included finely painted scenes with an opaque black substance raised the question whether the coating was intended to be black or not? The hypothesis was that if the coating contained bitumen (a naturally black substance), then it would have been black at the time of application. If it was resin based however it would have been translucent at the time of application, turning black through oxidisation over time. GC-MS results show that the coating did contain bitumen, thus the coating of the artefacts with a black substance was purposeful. This implies that the act of coating the artefacts was more important than the finely painted scenes being visible, and likely it was applied for ritual purposes. The hair and head were a focus for anointing during the funerary ritual, and were also covered with bandages during mummification. Due to the fondness of the ancient Egyptians for hair dressing, it was also possible that unguents may have been used for this purpose too. It was unknown whether the hair was covered with embalming material as was the entire body. Analyses showed that the treatment of the hair varied greatly, perhaps just due to personal preference. Some mummies were found with the embalming materials covering the entire head, often the case when the hair was shaved. Other mummies with extensively styled hair did not have any embalming material applied to the hair at all. In some cases fat was used as a fixative to style the hair, much like modern hair gel. This also indicated the hair, when long, was actually covered over with a cloth to protect it rather than be included in the pile of natron used to dry out the body for mummification. Another significant finding was that the red coloured hair often seen on mummified remains was caused by the embalming material and degradation of the hair, not by henna dye as has been previously suggested. The analytical techniques utilised <1mg of sample, proving that positive results can be gained from tiny amounts of sample. This is particularly important for rare archaeological remains.

Flinkfeldt, Marie. "Legitimacy Work : Managing Sick Leave Legitimacy in Interaction." Doctoral thesis, Uppsala universitet, Sociologiska institutionen, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-267405.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis studies how sick leave legitimacy is managed in interaction and develops an empirically driven conceptualization of ‘legitimacy work’. The thesis applies an ethnomethodological framework that draws on conversation analysis, discursive psychology, and membership categorization analysis. Naturally occurring interaction is examined in two settings: (1) multi-party meetings at the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, in which participants assess and discuss the ‘status’ of the sick leave and plan for work rehabilitation; (2) peer-based online text-in-interaction in a Swedish forum thread that gathers people on sick leave. The thesis shows how mental states, activities and alternative categories function as resources for legitimacy work. However, such invocations are no straight-forward matter, but impose additional contingencies. It is thus crucial how they are invoked. By detailed analyses of the interaction, with attention to aspects such as lexicality and delivery, the thesis identifies a range of discursive features that manage sick leave legitimacy. Deployed resources are also subtle enough to be deniable as legitimacy work, that is, they also manage the risk of an utterance being seen as invested or biased. While legitimate sick leave is a core concern for Swedish policy-making, administration, and public debate on sick leave, previous research has for the most part been explanatory in orientation, minding legitimacy rather than studying it in its own right. By providing detailed knowledge about the legitimacy work that people on long-term sick leave do as part of both institutional and mundane encounters, the thesis contributes not only new empirical knowledge, but a new kind of empirical knowledge, shedding light on how the complexities of sick leave play out in real-life situations. Traditional sociological approaches have to a significant extent treated legitimacy as an entity with beginnings and ends that in more or less direct ways relate to external norms and cognitive states, or that focus on institutions, authority or government. By contrast, the herein emerging concept ‘legitimacy work’ understands legitimacy as a locally contingent practicality – a collaborative categorially oriented accomplishment that is integral to the interactional situation.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna undersökning var att genom kvalitativa intervjuer belysa hur personal på två förskolor, där man arbetar med TAKK (Tecken som Alternativ/Kompletterande Kommunikation), ser på användningen av TAKK i arbetet med barn i åldrarna ett till fem år. Våra frågeställningar är om personalen anser att användning av TAKK gynnar barnens språkutveckling och om det gynnar samspelet i barngruppen.Vårt resultat visar att våra informanter anser att TAKK gynnar alla barns utveckling i språk och samspel. De barn som är i behov av det stöd som tillämpningen av TAKK kan medföra kan samspela och kommunicera med de andra barnen på grund av att alla barn i barngruppen är med i integreringen av TAKK i förskolan. Genom ett fungerande samspel minskar konflikterna mellan barn. Vår slutsats visar på att TAKK gynnar alla barns språkutveckling oavsett om det finns ett direkt behov av kommunikationsstöd eller inte.

Full text

Abstract:

The Indian Government's open policy on satellite television is attracting a plethora of American-based Charismatic television ministries in India. This thesis based primarily on an ethnographic study of church and Hindu community leaders, together with a subsidiary historical-comparative analysis, shows that Charismatic pastors are more positive about Charismatic televangelism than non-Charismatic pastors. Both groups of pastors however, have strong reservations on issues like fundraising, dress code and western dancing. The high-caste Hindus are resistant to any form of Christian evangelism including televangelism. Besides caste, class, language and gender, televangelism faces cultural barriers in reaching Indians. The prosperity, success and healing doctrines of Charismatic teaching. appeal to Hindus from the middle to lower level economic classes for whom these TV messages may be a means of achieving their material goals through a new form of "sanskritisation". Concerns have also been expressed, that these Hindus who are attracted tu Charismatic teievangelism are espousing a form of 'popular Christianity', a faith that focuses on personal fulfilment rather than personal holiness and accountability within the life of the church. A case study of the 'global' televangelism program Solutions, showed that it was generally well-received although both Hindus and Christians found culturally disjunctive elements in both the message as well as in the underlying aspects of the message such as dress code and culture. While some Hindus welcomed their own understanding of the 'syncretistic Christ', in the program, other Hindus took exception to the portrayal of the 'exclusive Christ'.

Full text

Abstract:

Although Talcott Parsons’s sick role theory, as described in 1951 in The Social System, has been severely criticized for its inapplicability to chronic illnesses, a portion of the theory is still a relevant and necessary factor in terms of understanding and treating chronic illness today. Using data from the 2012 National Health Interview Survey, this study looks at the individual effects of sex, age, race, cohabitation, education and region of residence on the likelihood of chronically ill patients considering themselves limited in their amount or kind of work as an indicator of sick role adaptation. Results show statistically significant relationships between work limitation and sex, age, cohabitation, education and region of residence, when controlling for the duration of the respondents’ condition. Further evaluation of these results is provided.

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar a experiência desenvolvida num espaço de escuta oferecido dentro do Judiciário a jovens que cometeram ato infracional. Numa vida em meio à violência e à pobreza, como pensar em subjetividade nesse território? Como jovens marginalizados em sua condição e vistos como marginais podem existir numa cultura que os desloca? O que fazer com os jovens delinquentes? A psicanálise nos aponta que eu existo a partir do olhar do outro. A experiência nos indica que a busca por existir e ocupar um lugar na cultura passa, sim, pelo reconhecimento através do olhar do Outro, quando ele pode falar e ser escutado. Levando em consideração que o jovem que delinque pede ajuda, entendemos como importante que ele responsabilize-se pelo seu ato, o que implica mudança subjetiva, possível apenas através do discurso.
The purpose of this dissertation is to present some preliminary results of an experience developed in a space/place within the Judiciary with the objective of listening to youngsters that committed a legal infraction. How can one reflect upon subjectivity in a territory where violence and poverty is commonplace? How can youngsters that are marginalized and perceived as outcasts exist in a society that avoids them? What is to be done with the young delinquents? Psychoanalysis states that To exist is to be seen. Experience suggests that existing and occupying a place in a particular society unquestionably involve the acknowledgement of the Other; acknowledged, an individual can speak and be heard. Since the youngster that breaks the law asks for help, we think it is important that he feels responsible for his actions, which implies a subjective change that is only possible by means of discourse.

Rennie, Claire Marie. "The care of sick children in eighteenth-century England." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/16508/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis develops our understanding of childhood illness and care through an examination of the types of care which were provided to children who suffered from common diseases and conditions in the eighteenth century. My research establishes that domestic care remained the norm throughout the eighteenth century, even though institutional care grew both in terms of its scope and the numbers treated in this period. This study reveals that Newton’s concept of ‘children’s physic’ retained its importance in the domestic setting. The development of institutions did not radically change the manner in which children received care. Although there was a clear move towards paediatrics in institutions, particularly those which opened in the latter part of the century, children treated by the Foundling Hospital, metropolitan workhouses, and dispensaries often received out-patient care that allowed them to be treated within a domestic setting. Approached through the prism of disease and disease categories, this thesis provides valuable insights into eighteenth-century views of health, childhood, and the body. The conditions examined in the thesis were diseases which regularly affected children during the eighteenth century. Childhood morbidity and mortality sometimes motivated medical experimentation on children. Through an examination of the care provided to children who suffered from certain conditions, and the experiments carried out upon them, the thesis provides a clearer understanding as to how children, their bodies, and the medical care that they required, were perceived during the eighteenth century. Aside from a focus on regimen, there was no standardisation in the care of sick children prior to the nineteenth century. The recommended regimen for children was linked to the non-naturals, placed an emphasis on moderation, and was designed with the maintenance and restoration of balance in mind. An analysis of the care provided to sick children in the eighteenth century illuminates a period of incomplete transition from ‘children’s physic’ to paediatrics. Although the origins of paediatrics are usually located in the nineteenth century, this thesis argues that the increased interest shown in children’s diseases, and the experiments undertaken on children, demonstrate that the roots of paediatric care were laid in the eighteenth century.

Abstract:

Aims: The starting point of this study was the experience of great problems with persons on long-term sick leave in the county of Västerbotten. In order to illuminate the situation we designed a study of the actors most involved who dealt with persons on long-term sick leave. These actors were the medical doctors; the employers: the social insurance officials; and members of the board of social insurance and persons reporting on the cases to the board. One aim was to describe and analyse the situation for persons on sick leave. Another aim was to describe and analyse the perception of the role the different actors played when dealing with persons on long-term sick leave. The third aim was to describe and analyse the different actors' views of each other, and of the co-operation around the persons on long-term sick leave. Method and material: Interviews with persons on sick leave, employers, social insurance officials and medical doctors. Questionnaires were sent to persons on sick leave, doctors and the members of the board of social insurance and those reporting on the cases. The interviews were audio- taped and transcribed word by word. Coding and analysis of collected data was done simultaneously by performing new interviews, using an adjusted form of grounded theory with the purpose of trying to find patterns and contexts. The aim was to describe the subjective experiences of how the actors look upon their situation and their way of coping with it. Results: The interviews with the employers showed great differences in attitudes and ways of treating employees, which also led to different models for dealing with work environment, sickness absence and rehabilitation. We divided the employers into five different "ideal types". Two of them could be described as "well-functioning" with regard to rehabilitation, and three of them as "less well-functioning". A high degree of flexibility characterises the successful employer, and he also takes good care of his personnel. The good employer also co-operates with other actors. The employers that are not well-functioning are not engaged in making adjustments, and have little confidence in their staff; the unions within their field are weak. Interviews with medical doctors revealed that they felt lonely, and that the demands were frustrating to them. They also had feelings of losing the locus of control. The doctors showed lack of knowledge of the labour market and the social insurance legislation, which made their work harder. They experienced that their lack of time made sickness periods longer. Among the results from the interviews with social insurance officials can be mentioned that they had good knowledge about laws, but sometimes it was difficult to use their knowledge and methods due to lack of flexibility. They experienced feelings of loneliness and had great difficulty in making decisions. Co-operation with partners often did not work out - the officials did not demand so much of their co-actors. The results of the questionnaire directed towards the members of the board of social insurance and those who reported on the cases did not show statistically significant differences between the three counties. The members of the board had almost the same proposals for decision as those who reported on the cases. There were no significant differences between men and women in decision-making. As a whole the members of the board seemed to be skilled in their knowledge of how to use the social insurance legislation. The results of the interviews with persons on sick leave showed that those persons had difficulties in asking for help and support. They felt such loyalty to their employers that they did not ask for adjustments of working places when needed. At the same time they were disappointed that the employers were not sufficiently involved in making it possible to come back to work again. More than half of the respondents had not received enough support from the employers, the medical doctors or the social insurance officials. Most of them felt frustrated, with little or no hope for the future. The results of the questionnaire to persons on long-term sick leave showed that women took a greater responsibility for their own rehabilitation, while the employers showed an earlier interest in sick male employees than in sick female employees. The employers were also keener to adjust the working places for men than for women. Despite those factors, women more often met their employers than men did, and they also had a more positive attitude to social insurance officials and doctors than men had. People with longer education took greater responsibility for their rehabilitation than those with shorter education. Compared to older people, younger persons were more optimistic about their future health and work, and also expressed that work was not so stressful.

Abstract:

The Sick building syndrome (SBS) is a complex symptomology of individuals related to the adverse effects of indoor environment on health. Although almost any workplace can be affected it is most often associated with the office environment. The causes of SBS are not well understood, no single factor or agent has been identified. Some studies have indicated that SBS may be a result of multiple factors, including chemical, biological, physical, psychosocial, and occupational variables. One such variable, environmental tobacco smoke, has not been properly investigated as a contributing cause, and may be related to chemical sensitivity (CS). Some authors consider that victims of the SBS may be an example of chemical sensitivity and further that some CS patients become sensitive to electromagnetic fields (EMF) or electromagnetic radiations (EMR). The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of these potentially contributing factors to the sick building syndrome. 722 people in fifteen buildings with different ventilation systems were investigated via self-administrated questionnaires, in which data of SBS symptoms and ETS exposure and other information were collected. The results indicated that the combination of ETS exposure and working in air-conditioned office buildings contributed to the SBS symptoms in both uni-variate analysis, and multiple regression analysis, but neither of these variables individually has a significant effect on SBS. The contribution of environmental tobacco smoke is therefore considered to be small, but may be a contributing factor when taken together with other variables with air-conditioned buildings. In order to test the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on chemical sensitivity, 47 patients (19 sensitive to both electromagnetic fields and chemicals and 28 sensitive to chemicals only), and 34 controls were tested with sinusoidal uniform magnetic fields using Helmhotz coils in a single-blinded design study. The effects of exposure were tested by measurement of a number of physiological variables. Short time exposure to weak uniform sinusoidal magnetic fields at extremely low frequencies did not trigger more symptoms in chemical sensitivity patients than in controls. Significant changes in blood pressure and some parameters of pupil light reflexes were found in both CS patients and controls. Results indicate that ELF electromagnetic radiation may have an excitation effects on the sympathetic nervous system; however neither electrically sensitive nor chemically sensitive patients were more sensitive in these effects than controls. The contribution of tobacco smoke and ELF electromagnetic radiation to the cause of sick building symptoms needs further quantitative investigations.

Abstract:

This thesis studied empirically the air-handling etiology of the nonspecific symptoms of the eyes, respiratory tract, skin, and central nervous system in office workers, often termed the sick building syndrome. The results of a four-period crossover trial in 75 office workers suggest that 70% air recirculation when accompanied by an adequate intake of outdoor air can be used without causing adverse effects. A cross-sectional study of 2678 workers in 41 randomly selected office buildings from Helsinki metropolitan area provides evidence that mechanical ventilation, air conditioning, steam and evaporative humidification and air recirculation are risk indicators of studied symptoms in the existing Finnish office building stock. The results also suggest that outdoor-air ventilation rates below the optimal (15-25 L/s per person) increase the risk of the sick building syndrome symptoms with such sources of pollutants as present in mechanically ventilated office buildings.
Theoretical examination reveals that the sick building syndrome is a figurative concept of everyday language, rather than a singular disease entity. A theoretical model, the Office Environment Model, is presented to explain relations between the office environment and health.

Abstract:

The thesis explores medical perceptions and treatments of children, and argues that a concept of 'children's physic' existed amongst doctors, medical authors, and the literate laity. 'Children's physic' denotes the idea that children were physiologically distinct beings, whose medicines needed to be adapted to suit their unique temperaments. The thesis also examines the family's experience of the child's illness, demonstrating that parents devoted considerable time and energy to the care of their sick offspring. The illness or death of a child was one of the saddest occasions in parents' lives, eliciting feelings of profound grief, fear, and guilt. It is shown that gender did not have much impact on the nature of parents' experiences: both mothers and fathers were involved in the practical tasks of tending their ill offspring, and both parties recorded emotions of extreme anguish at this time. Finally, the thesis attempts to reconstruct the experiences of the ailing children themselves, exploring what it was like being ill, in pain, and near death. It asserts that children's experiences were characterised by striking ambivalence: on the one hand, children were often tormented by feelings of guilt, the fear of hell, and physical pain, but on the other hand, illness could be emotionally and spiritually uplifting.

Abstract:

A screenwriter’s background of experiences and past psychological trauma can be integral to a film’s success if utilised to inform and define the filmmaker’s approach to storytelling. It is identified in this paper that The Sick Room, as a short film text, is constructed in this way. The story evolved from the filmmaker’s difficulties in dealing with a childhood trauma involving the uneasiness he felt about his uncle’s mental illness. By grounding the film’s narrative in his own circumstances the filmmaker seeks to find solutions to new understandings about the stigmatization of victims of mental illness and advocate for an increase in the level of patient care from mental health institutions in contemporary society. Acknowledging the personal and prejudiced nature of his story the filmmaker endeavours to find an appropriate aesthetic style for The Sick Room to justify his perspective on the issue to the viewer. The filmmaker explores how the docudrama film, due to its correlations with the realist and Dogme95 movements of filmmaking, possesses the appropriate aesthetic qualities required to achieve the telling of his personal story in an entertaining way, but also one that provides the viewer with a more apparently unmediated experience.

Abstract:

People spend most of their time indoors and mostly in the dwelling. It is therefore important to investigate associations between indoor exposure in dwellings and health. Symptoms that may be related to the indoor environment are sometimes referred to as the "sick building syndrome" (SBS). SBS involves symptoms such as eye, skin and upper airway irritation, headache and fatigue. Three longitudinal studies and one prevalence study on personal and environmental risk factors for SBS in adults were performed. The prevalence study included measurements of indoor exposures in the dwellings. The longitudinal studies, with 8-10 years follow-up time, showed that smoking and indoor paint emissions were risk factors for SBS. Moreover, building dampness and moulds in dwellings were risk factors for onset (incidence) of general symptoms, skin symptoms and mucosal symptoms. In addition subjects living in damp dwellings have a lower remission of general symptoms and skin symptoms. Hay fever was a risk factor for onset of skin symptoms and mucosal symptoms, and asthma was a risk factor for onset of general and mucosal symptoms. Biomarkers of allergy and inflammation (bronchial reactivity, total IgE, ECP and eosinophil count) were predictors of onset of SBS symptoms, in particular mucosal symptoms. In the prevalence study, any SBS-symptom was associated with some individual volatile organic compounds of possible microbial origin (MVOC) e.g. 2-pentanol, 2-hexanon, 2-pentylfuran and 1-octen-3ol. Moreover, there were associations between indoor levels of formaldehyde and the plasticizer Texanol and any SBS. The result from the study indicates that individual MVOC are better indicators of SBS than the total value of MVOC. A final conclusion is that smoking, dampness and moulds and emissions from indoor painting may increase the onset of SBS. The indoor environment in dwellings over time has improved, but there is still a need for further improvements of the indoor environment in dwellings. More longitudinal SBS studies are needed.
