Abstract:

In this thesis, I explore the meanings and experience of health and well-being in the lives of individuals with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Taking an auto/biographical approach and utilising in-depth qualitative online interviews, I draw on the experience and narratives of seventeen individuals with IBD, including myself. The three main themes addressed are 'Living with IBD', 'Becoming a Patient', and 'Coping and Control'. I explore how IBD influences individuals' experience of personal relationships, and their medical encounters and treatments. I reflect on how and why these factors ari

This thesis explores the increased risk of genetic breast cancer for Ashkenazi Jews who are at significantly increased risk of carrying three specific mutations in the high risk breast cancer genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2. The Ashkenazi Jewish population has the highest known risk of genetic breast cancer and are the most well researched in relation to genetic disease. They are believed to have a particularly supportive and unique relationship with genetics, despite also having a history of discrimination that includes claims of biological inferiority.

<p>Identity includes an individual´s self-image and the consciousness about their self. It is about being the same person despite changes in their life situation.

They may no longer see the sick person in the same way as they used to. The purpose of this study was to highlight how disease in everyday life and admission to a hospital affects the identity.

An emerging framework, the Identity Pathology (IP) model, partially addresses persistent uncertainties about the primary causes of disparities in cardiovascular health (CVH) between black and white women and men through outlining how identity beliefs associated with social group membership lead to predictable differences in the health-damaging effects of discrimination exposure. Using data from the CARDIA cohort, this doctoral thesis seeks to: 1) propose a novel psychosocial characteristic, identity pathology, that drives the distribution of reported race and gender discrimination in health-re

Introduction: Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects predominately African Americans and is one of the most prevalent diseases in the United States (Schecter, 1999). Research has not sufficiently examined whether pain associated with SCD impacts quality of life or whether coping impacts this relation. The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between pain and quality of life in children with SCD and to determine whether coping moderates the relation. A secondary aim was to examine associations between age and pain, quality of life, and coping. A final exploratory aim was to examine the

Lily leaf spot is an emerging disease of the globally rare Lilium grayi S. Wats., a species endemic to the southern Appalachian Blue Ridge, USA.

Spore morphology, completion of Koch’s postulates, and DNA sequence data showed the causative agent of lily leaf spot to be Pseudocercosporella inconspicua (G. Winter) U.

Advances in high-throughput genomic technologies have facilitated the collection of DNA information for thousands of individuals, providing unprecedented opportunities to explore the genetic architecture of complex disease. One important finding has been that the majority of variants in the human genome are low in frequency or rare. It has been hypothesised that recent explosive growth of the human population afforded unexpectedly large amounts of rare variants with potentially deleterious effects, suggesting that rare variants may play a role in disease predisposition.

The experience of SCD was contextual and multilayered. The interrelationship of interactions and the socio/cultural environment gave focus to the invisibility of SCD and how this positioned patients and carers. Thus the research gene

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur bipolär sjukdom kan påverka en människas identitet. Tidigare forskning har föreslagit att människor med bipolär sjukdom kan ha svårt att identifiera vem de verkligen är och att de kan ha en mindre utvecklad identitet. I denna kvalitativa studie genomfördes tio djupintervjuer som sedan kodades. En tematisk analys utfördes. Fyra teman identifierades: Uppfattning om identitet, acceptans, föräldraskap och sjukdomens påverkan på livet. En övervägande del av respondenterna uppgav att sjukdomen är en del av deras identitet, detta motsäger tidigare forskning.

Moral identity is a central concern for IV drug users, one influencing their response to risk. Social relations, responsibility, and an ethic of

The case of MS is interesting, because while it eventually manifests in distinct outward physical signs, individuals with the disease often live for years without outward symptoms, meaning that their stigma-inducing qualities are latent, but not yet seen.

Additionally, novel information regarding the effects of racial identity was explored. Participants included 103 caregivers (M = 41.1 years old, SD = 8.04 years) of children with SCD.

Study Rationale The objective of the study was to explore if and how rural culture influences type II diabetes management and to better understand the social processes that rural people construct in coping with diabetes and its complications. In particular, the study aimed to analyse the interface and interactions between rural people with type II diabetes and the Australian health care system. Theoretical framework and methods The research applied constructivist grounded theory methods within an interpretive interactionist framework. Data from 39 semi-structured interviews with rural a

Abstract:

HIV and AIDS still challenges the best efforts of public health and medical establishments and continues to ravage communities around the world. While measures have been put in place to preclude it from further spread, recent studies in the field of HIV and AIDS prevention intimate that for more efficacious intervention to be realized, it is critical to understand and address the social and cultural practices which influence sexual behavior, particularly understanding how issues of masculinity plays a role in the perpetuation of these behavior. Relying on Bourdieu’s theory of social practice,

Abstract:

Le premier objectif de cette thèse était d’explorer l’effet de référence à soi (ERS) sur la mémoire dans le vieillissement, l’amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) et la maladie d’Alzheimer (MA) à un stade précoce de l’évolution. Le second fut de revisiter les théories actuelles pour expliquer ce bénéfice mnésique, puis de tenter d’élucider ses mécanismes. Nous avons montré que l’ERS sur les représentations sémantiques de ses propres traits de personnalité (qui est une composante de notre identité) était préservé dans le vieillissement. Par ailleurs, nous avons montré que la profondeur de

Abstract:

Background: There are over 300 Primary Immunodeficiency diseases (PID) that are a result of a genetic or idiopathic dysfunction of any aspect of the immune system. These conditions result in a higher frequency of infections, autoimmune conditions, or malignancies. Moderate intensity exercise is thought to help the immune system, while high intensity exercise may have a negative impact on immune function. The impact of exercise on individuals with an impaired immune system due to PID is not yet understood. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a low to moderate intensity

Abstract:

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, but a large fraction of cases is preventable. We use a spatial smoothing algorithm to identify a geographic pattern of high lung cancer mortality, primarily in the Southeast, which we call a lung cancer belt. Disease belts are an effective mode for conveying patterns of high incidence or mortality; formally defining this lung cancer belt may encourage increased public dialogue and more focused research. Public health officials could complement existing population lung cancer data with this information to help inform resourc

Abstract:

In an age of biomedicine, technologies, drugs, and treatments are expanding in new and diverse ways. Especially relevant to biomedicalization and this research is how such information is conveyed to the public through the media. Medical information is omnipresent in the media through direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising and regular coverage of health topics in the news. The accessibility and proliferation of medical information provides an important opportunity to examine the ways in which these topics are framed in the media. This research specifically examines the framing of the HPV vaccine,
