The review highlights issues specific to refugee women and focuses on research on Bosnian refugees and loss, highlighting that research that reduces refugees experiences to pathology abstracts from their lived realities and concerns.

Abstract:

Weight loss surgery (WLS) is currently the treatment of choice for morbidly obese individuals in the UK (NICE, 2006). A wealth of positive outcomes for body image and well-being are reported in the literature. However studies have failed to explore the longer term outcomes and less positive impacts of surgery, for example excess skin and weight regain. Seven women who underwent successful WLS at least two years ago were interviewed in order to explore their experience of their changing body. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA; Smith, Flowers, & Larkin, 2009) was used to identify the

Abstract:

In the UK, babies are considered stillborn when they are born dead after the 24th week of gestation. Death within the first four weeks of life is defined as a neonatal death. Both stillbirths and neonatal deaths comprise perinatal deaths. This type of bereavement constitutes a traumatic loss and although there is a plethora of research focusing on the resulting parental psychopathology, research on adaptive grief resolution and posttraumatic growth is scarce. Qualitative methodologies exploring perinatal bereavement and posttraumatic growth from a perspective of counselling psychology are abse

The current investigation used qualitative methodology to examine adolescent girls’ perceptions of control over their eating, as well as triggers, and consequences of binge and related eating behaviors. Focus groups were completed with 19 adolescent girls (aged 13-17, 58% African American, 41% White) who endorsed the behaviors. Responses to focus group questions were qualitatively analyzed using a grounded theory approach and constant comparison coding. Results reflected a fundamental lack of awareness of the loss of control (LOC) eating behaviors. Yet, the data did reflect a central theme of

Young widowhood is a unique experience that has received little in-depth attention in research and clinical settings. Their experiences may differ from other types of losses, particularly from losses that are typically expected to happen later in life. The present study treated the lived experiences of young men and women who have experiences the loss of a spouse. Eleven men and women between the ages of 18 and 49 were interviewed about their experiences post-loss using phenomenological methods.

It is acknowledged that society's image of a midwife is synonymous with delivering a new life and new beginnings to a family.

We perceive the world through sensory experience. Sensory information is registered and processed by our brain in a modality specific fashion. Interestingly, studies have shown that the visual cortex of early but not late blind subjects is able to respond to touch or sound (Sadato et al., 1996; Buchel et al., 1998; Weeks et al., 2000; Gougoux et al., 2009).

Abstract:

Bereavement, an unavoidable event in everyone’s life, brings endless missing, grief, and suffering to people. Among all kinds of bereavement, losing a child is considered the most sorrowful and traumatizing. It is extremely difficult for parents who lose a child to recover from their deepest pain. On May 12, 2008, an earthquake, measuring 8.0 Ms, occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan province, China. The earthquake killed more than 70,000 people and left about 20,000 missing. During the earthquake, some school buildings collapsed and as a result, hundreds of students died. Their parents experienced ov

Abstract:

The experiences of children and adolescents who have a parent with an acquired brain injury is a relatively under-researched area. There is mixed evidence about whether or not these young people display emotional and behavioural difficulties as a result of this trauma. Research has suggested that adolescents experience multiple ‘losses’ during this time. The most prominent of these is thought to be ‘ambiguous loss’, where the parent is physically present but psychologically absent. This is considered to be a particularly difficult process as it is an ongoing loss that the person has to cope wi

Abstract:

In this dissertation I address urban sustainability with a focus on loss of cultural heritage and ecological knowledge by expanding the concept “extinction of experience” (EoE). Conceptualized by conservationist Robert Michael Pyle, EoE is the loss of nature experiences leading to apathy towards biodiversity and degradation of the common habitat. I expand upon Pyle’s formulation of the concept by considering the EoE cycle as an indirect driver that amplifies biodiversity losses. Additionally, I introduce the analysis of interrelated losses of biological and cultural diversity in relation to Eo

Abstract:

The aim of this essay was to closer understand the experience of loss and sorrow in conjunction with serious physical illness. I have used a phenomenological approach and therefore used the questions: what have the individuals experienced? How have they experience it? And what meaning did they ascribe to the experience? To answer this questions I have examined five different biographies, based on the biographers’ experience of living with a serious physical illness. I have from these biographies deciphered different themes of loss and sorrow: The physical body, identity, loss of everyday life,

Att förlora tänder kan ha en stor inverkan på en människas liv. Syftet med denna studie var dels att undersöka hur människor, som söker tandvård på en volontärklinik i Zimbabwe, upplever att förlora sina tänder. Studien berör även vilken effekt detta har på deras liv. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes på volontärkliniken med 19 deltagande patienter. Ett ytterligare syfte var att undersöka hur oralt folkhälsoarbete kan bedrivas i en del av Zimbabwe med lågt socio-ekonomiskt status. Studien omfattar observationer vid skolor på landsbygden, stadsskolor och från volontärklinik. Enligt denna st

Abstract:

Since the recession has hit Greece, individuals have not only experienced financial loss but they have seen their whole life overhauled by the crisis. The purpose of this study is to explore how young Greeks who have recently graduated, or who are about to graduate, perceive their lives and futures at this time of severe economic crisis. More particularly, I tried to focus on their feelings (such as worries and hopes) about how the recession has impacted their lives and their feelings regarding their futures. Research has shown that during periods of recession, young individuals are affected t

Abstract:

Background: Obesity is associated with conditions that may affect Canadians’ health status and strain the health care system. Obese individuals are subjected to stigmatization. Most public health programs to date promote weight loss. However, weight loss is rarely sustainable. Insight must be gained into the embodied, lived experiences and lifestyles of ‘target’ populations and their perceptions of and priorities concerning health and wellbeing to develop public health programs that enhance lifestyles and health. Purpose: The purpose of my research was to use critical ethnographic research
