Abstract:

This project seeks to clarify the historical significance of women in the American West between 1870 and 1930 through the education, careers, and personal lives of western women physicians. The narratives presented in the work provide alternative roles for western women aside from the stereotypical images found in popular culture and history, such as the "Bad Woman," the prostitute, and the obedient homesteading wife. This collective biography additionally demonstrates how women participated in American medical culture during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, emphasizing their agency as historical actors, and countering the common misconception that Victorian women were merely passive subjects of their time and place. The lives of four physicians named Ellis Reynolds Shipp, Mary Babcock Atwater, Mary Bennett Ritter, and Mary Canaga Rowland are available through memoirs, biographies, scholarly articles, newspapers, and other sources that contextualize their careers into the broader context of Western, medical, and nineteenth-century history. Through their personal and professional experiences, a greater story of female autonomy emerges in a period understood to be inherently oppressive to and unnavigable for women.

McNair, Ruth Patricia. "Same-sex attracted women and their relationship with GPs: identity, risk and disclosure." 2009. http://repository.unimelb.edu.au/10187/8522.

Full text

Abstract:

Patient-doctor relationships between same-sex attracted women and general practitioners (GPs) have been presented as problematic in the literature. The problems arise from women’s concerns about the potential for negative attitudes amongst GPs. They also relate to GPs’ concerns about offending patients if they ask about sexual orientation due to the stigmatised nature of minority sexual orientation. As a result, disclosure of sexual orientation can be difficult and the patient-doctor relationship can be compromised. The aim of this study was to explore the nature of patient-doctor relationships in this context and how optimal relationships can be achieved.<br>Using a critical hermeneutic approach, I conducted in-depth interviews with 33 same-sex attracted women and 28 doctors. This included 24 pairs of people in a current patient-doctor relationship. I found that women commonly experienced silencing of their minority sexual orientation within general practice settings, but that this was occasionally desired and not problematic for some women and most GPs. For other women and for many GPs, the silence resulting from a lack of disclosure was a response to perceived risks to women’s personal identity and GPs’ professional identity. Few GPs asked directly about sexual orientation, placing the burden of responsibility for disclosure on same-sex attracted women. Building reciprocal trust could overcome the perceived risks inherent in revealing minority sexual orientation. I initially defined optimal patient-doctor relationships in terms of existing models of cultural competence and patient-centredness; however I found that such relationships were built on cultural sensitivity rather than cultural competence, and relationship-centredness rather than patient-centredness.<br>I developed a new model of sexual identity disclosure that demonstrated the key influences on disclosure of sexual orientation to GPs for same-sex attracted women. These influences were women’s sexual identity experience, risk perceptions, and the level of knowing within the patient-doctor relationship. The model depicts women’s range and fluidity of sexual identity experiences and challenges current assumptions that disclosure is essential for effective health care. The model has transformative potential for general practice education and research. It could assist GPs to understand that not all women desire disclosure, but that the majority of women are happy to disclose if asked. GPs would be encouraged to take note of the socio-political environment in which women live and its influence on women’s fears and actual experiences of discrimination. Finally, understanding the role of trust and reciprocal knowing in mitigating perceived risks would encourage GPs to focus more on relationship building. This could also assist GPs to overcome their own perceptions of risk and encourage them to broach the subject of sexual orientation, ultimately enhancing the patient-doctor relationship.

Otey, Dionne T. "Health Communication & The Medical Encounter: Perspectives Of Urban African American Women." Thesis, 2015. https://doi.org/10.7916/D85H7RXM.

Abstract:

Effective communication is essential for both a satisfying and productive patient-provider relationship. Ineffective communication can lead to many detrimental patient outcomes including a lack of access to care, an inability to navigate the healthcare environment, a decreased adherence to treatment recommendations, and a lack of patient understanding about disease risk factors, prevention, and management. The Healthy People 2010 initiative recognized the importance of communication by including several health communication-related goals in its objectives. A goal of one of these objectives included increasing the percentage of patients who reported that their care providers have satisfactory communication skills. Researchers can gain insight about those barriers that prevent providers from experiencing effective communication by examining the patients' perspectives about communication. The primary aim of this pilot study was to explore urban African American women's perspectives about the communication utilized during clinical encounters with providers via the use of semi-structured interviews. The semi-structured interviews collected data about a variety of topics including participants' breast cancer-related knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices. Data was also collected about participants' clinical encounter experiences, including their comprehension of health information and their communication experiences with medical providers and other types of health care professionals. Any responses that discussed participants' communication experiences with providers, comprehension of health information, or perspectives about factors that could impede or facilitate communication were selected for analysis. In addition to the semi-structured interviews, participants also completed two health literacy assessments in order to gauge their health literacy levels. Women were administered the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM), a word recognition assessment, and the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (STOFHLA), a comprehension assessment. Eligibility criteria included women who: (1) were aged 50 and older, (2) were English-speaking, (3) able to respond to interview questions without assistance, (4) of African descent, (5) were Harlem residents, and (6) had never received a diagnosis of breast cancer. One hundred women participated in the study. Data about the effectiveness of providers' communication skills, patients' abilities to comprehend health information, patients' communication experiences with various types of health care providers, and preferred sources of health information were collected from the interviews. Open-ended questions were utilized to gather information about factors that women deemed as either impediments or facilitators to effective communication with providers. Collected data from interviews were analyzed qualitatively. In addition to information about participants' health literacy scores from the literacy assessments, final results included demographic information, preferred sources of health information, and information about those factors that women viewed as either impediments or facilitators to effective communication with doctors and with other health care providers both in and outside of the medical appointment. Additionally, findings from the qualitative analysis results were utilized in order to inform the creation of health communication recommendations for providers who treat urban African American female patients.

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立陽明大學<br>臨床暨社區護理研究所<br>103<br>Dysmenorrhea is one of the common problems of women, people here in Taiwan shared the scope of benefits in Chinese medicine by National Health Insurance, so many women turned to traditional Chinese medicine to solve the problem of dysmenorrhea in current society. As we know, the better compliance comes the more effective treatment. Therefore, the interaction between the patient and doctor would affect the women whether she could deal with dysmenorrhea effectively. In this study, the Q methodology approach was adopted to explore women with dysmenorrheal views on physician-patient interaction. Extraction Q statements are generated from the representative sample about the concept of physician-patient interaction. A series of Q sorts were performed of rank the relevant descriptions obtained from the women with dysmenorrhea subjectively. The data collection was conducted on 60 women receiving Chinese medical remedies for women with dysmenorrhea at two regional teaching hospitals in northern Taiwan. The total arranged Q statements were 39 sentences. The software of PQ method (2.35 version) was used for statistical analysis in this study. A total of 44 women were classified, which explained 56.67% of the variance: “body-constitution”- the respondents believe that the way to treat dysmenorrhea in Chinese medicine, “physicians-guided”- they think that obeying the doctors' orders is the priority, “well-cooperated”- the responders believe that the treatment should be individualized, and they are willing to change their lifestyle and wait patiently for the therapeutic effect, “therapeutic-effect”- women turn to another physician if they didn’t satisfied with the treatment outcome. These findings portray the variety of viewpoints on physician-patient interaction existing among with the dysmenorrhea women in Chinese medicine clinics. The four identified categories may be useful in developing tailor-made continuing interaction strategies.

Abstract:

Vulvodynia, a common form of chronic vulvovaginal pain, is conceptualized as a multifactorial chronic pain condition. Research has examined the role of numerous physiological, psychological, and social factors in the development and maintenance of vulvodynia, however, health care experiences have not been closely examined in this clinical population. Three online studies were conducted to investigate the health care experiences of women with chronic vulvovaginal pain. Study 1 examined pelvic examination (PE) experiences in women with and without chronic pain during intercourse. During their last PE, women with pelvic and vulvovaginal pain reported significantly more pain and anxiety compared to women without pain during intercourse. Various predisposing (first PE experience), examination (quality of patient- physician interaction, physician gender), and psychological factors (vaginal penetration cognitions, body image) predicted PE ratings in women with and without pain during intercourse. Study 2 more broadly examined pain and adjustment in women with vulvovaginal pain. Pain-related beliefs (i.e., attributional style, perceived control) were related to health care variables and predicted adjustment. First, global attributions predicted depressive symptoms and pain-related cognitions/responses after controlling for pain severity and interference. Second, chance beliefs moderated the relationship between pain-related cognitions/responses and internal attributions. Third, women with higher chance and lower physician pain beliefs reported lower social support. Study 3 investigated the knowledge, attitudes, and comfort of Canadian medical residents in Family Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) about vulvodynia. OBGYN residents later in their training reported greater knowledge and comfort with vulvodynia and its symptoms than their more junior counterparts; ratings did not significantly differ between specialties. Residents did report significantly more positive attitudes toward patients with ii vulvovaginal pain of identifiable pathology in comparison to patients with no physical findings. Comfort discussing sexuality in medical practice was a significant predictor of knowledge, attitudes, and comfort with vulvodynia after controlling for demographics/training variables. These findings offer a multidimensional perspective on the role of health care in biopsychosocial models of vulvovaginal pain, and have implications for the assessment and treatment of vulvodynia and Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder.<br>Thesis (Ph.D, Psychology) -- Queen's University, 2014-04-24 16:39:05.723

Peret, Karen Rosemarie. "A qualitative study of the meaning of the nurse-physician relationship from the perspective of intensive care unit nurses in a university medical center." 1993. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/dissertations/AAI9329653.

Full text

Abstract:

The traditional hierarchical relationship between nurses and physicians negatively influences nurse's job satisfaction, stress, empowerment, retention and productivity and the outcomes of health care services to patients. While a major goal of professional nursing is to establish a more collaborative relationship through changes in nurses' relationship behaviors with physicians, findings in regard to these behaviors are mixed. Because nurses' intergroup behavior with physicians is influenced by their formulations of the meaning of that relationship, it is important to understand the nature and content of those formulations. The purpose of this study was to explore the meaning of the nurse-physician relationship from the perspective of practicing nurses in order to see the world of nurse-physician relationships as nurses do. This process called for a long qualitative interview approach which allowed the nurse to speak for herself and allowed the researcher to develop an understanding of the categories and logic through which the nurse sees the nurse-physician relationship by means of thematic analysis of the interview data. The study found that nurses viewed the nurse-physician relationship as a team. Through collegial interaction, physicians showed respect for nurses' knowledge by seeking, listening to and acting upon nurses' recommendations. Nurses believed that they contributed important information to medical decision-making through their knowledge of individual patients, their clinical experience and their scientific training, without which, the medical decision would be incomplete. The findings suggest a new paradigm for the nature of the nurse-physician relationship: nurse participation in medical decision making based on nurses' knowledge. The findings further suggest the applicability of intergroup relations theory as a frame of reference for understanding and improving nurse-physician relations.
