Abstract:

<p> The purpose of this study was to describe the lived experience of nurses who care for hospitalized women outside of an addiction treatment setting who have a problem with drugs and / or alcohol. The relational experiences of ten registered nurses who had cared for women with drug and alcohol problems were elicited. Heideggerian hermeneutic phenomenology was the method used to interpret the nurse participants’ meaning of their experience. The theoretical framework that was used to explore the nurses’ experience of caring for women who abuse or are dependent on alcohol was Boykin

Abstract:

Research indicates that at least half of all women substance abusers were abused in childhood and this trauma negatively impacts substance abuse recovery. Professionals in the field agree that substance abuse counselors need to understand trauma, its effects, and treatment in order to work with their female clients. The purpose of this thesis was to develop a handbook to assist substance abuse counselors in private practice in assessing and treating child abuse trauma in women substance abusers. The handbook was developed through the historical research method and the action method of applied

Abstract:

During the early 1920s, Old Colony Mennonites emigrated from Canada to Chihuahua, Mexico in order to continue their traditional ways of life in nearly isolated, agricultural communities. As their ancestors had done for centuries, they continued to live in opposition to "the world." While the Old Colony Mennonites basically succeeded in living their distinct, conservative ideology, economic necessities and real world opportunities caused internal disagreements, excommunications and the formation of a new, liberal church, the General Conference, among their midst.

Abstract:

This thesis argues that women's bodies are constituted by discourses about them. It explores the operations of power over women's bodies by analyzing the way in which the maternal body is constructed in the discourses of law, medicine and culture. Chapter One provides a theoretical context for this thesis. It examines the organization of knowledge and its relationship to power within the Western liberal tradition. Power is implicated in the production and dissemination of knowledge about the maternal body in two ways. First, scientific knowledge is privileged in legal and cultural discourses w

Over the last twenty years there has been an increasing international research interest in women's experience of postnatal perineal trauma and its impact on their physical, psychological and sexual health. To date, however, no research on perineal morbidity and general health has been undertaken in Malta. Using a longitudinal descriptive correlational design, a homogenous systematic sample of 144 Maltese postnatal mothers was recruited with the aim of exploring the relationship between perineal trauma and general health following normal delivery.

Abstract:

Through the examination of 12 young women skateboarders' narratives, I explore skateboarding as a gendered performance which challenges existing cultural norms about gender through the corporeal display of risk-taking and the ability to withstand pain and injury. Most of the participants construct themselves as 'alternative' women who engage in 'masculine' practices, rejecting dominant notions of femininities. Although skateboarding provides young women with a space to complicate and challenge dominate discourses of gender, skateboarding nevertheless also reinforces dominant constructions of g

Abstract:

Gender differences in health are the product of a complex interaction between biology and the social world. Our ascribed sex and how this is interpreted in the culture within which we live (gender) have life-long consequences for our life chances, including our health. For many years the aphorism that ‘men die quicker but women are sicker’ was presumed to encapsulate gender differences in health. The first paper presented in the thesis challenged this dominant paradigm. First, an analysis of morbidity in two British data sets showed more similarity than difference between men and women.

Abstract:

Impulsivity is considered a major contributor to various antisocial behaviours (Nofziger, 2010) and is present in many mental and personality disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Given that clear sex differences have been observed in such behaviours and disorders (Nofziger, 2010; Struber, et al., 2008), it is of interest to explore whether similar sex differences are observed in impulsivity. This thesis explores sex differences in impulsivity and its sub factors, as well as the potential role of impulsivity in explaining sex differences in antisocial behaviours and affective di

The risk of hip fracture in people with type one diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is reported to be 7 to 12 times greater than in those without T1DM, and this increased risk is evident in both children and young adults. This fracture risk is higher than expected bone mineral density (BMD) measurements, which indicates the likelihood that other skeletal factors, not captured by DXA, may contribute toward increased fracture risk. There is increasing evidence that alteration in trabecular bone microarchitecture and increased bone marrow adiposity (BMA) are causes for excess skeletal fragility, yet these

Abstract:

Review and analysis of current clinical research practice suggests a general trend towards excluding pregnant women from clinical research studies. Although exclusionary research practices are premised upon concerns for the well-being of the fetus and the pregnant women, such practices can also produce various inadvertent harms to both parties. In particular, exclusion of pregnant women from clinical research limits the quality of care provided to pregnant women by impeding individual access to innovative research protocols and by limiting data collection applicable to the pregnant population.

Abstract:

There is a discrepancy between the life expectancy of men and women of approximately two and a half years (Taylor Nelson Sofres 2014). This suggests that women are likely to spend a period of time in the latter years of their life living alone. It is anticipated that this will lead to a unique experience of later life for women, which to date has received little attention. This study is concerned with exploring the experience of living alone for 11 women aged 70-80 years from the South East of England. A particular emphasis is placed upon the experience of being an older woman, the activities

Abstract:

Psychotropic drugs are mind affecting compounds. They range in type from illegal narcotic analgesics such as heroin, to prescribed major tranquillisers used for treatment of psychotic states, to prescribed minor tranquillisers such as the benzodiazepines, Valium and Mogadon, to the freely available, over the counter drugs, Aspirin and Panadol. Overseas and Australian data show the minor tranquilliser group, benzodiazepines, first introduced on the pharmaceutical scene in the early 1960s, to be the most commonly prescribed psychotropic drugs. Their popularity with medical practitioners as presc

Abstract:

Magazine covers are multimodal texts designed to draw the attention of potential readers. Health and fitness magazines, in particular, make up a large portion of the publishing industry, and previous research has pointed to their influence on readers’ perceptions of health and fitness. In order to interpret the multimodality of magazine covers, a different approach other than the purely linguistic one needs to be employed. Following the theoretical frameworks of Systemic Functional Linguistics and Social Semiotics, this study set out to investigate the verbal and visual construction of health

Chapter 1: The Impact of Culture on the Second-Generation Immigrants’ Level of Trust in Canada Trust is one of the main elements of social capital; it determines the extent to which an individual cooperates with others. In this chapter, I assess whether cultural factors influence the level of trust in the population of second-generation immigrants in Canada. This paper is related to two strands of empirical literature. The first analyses the determinants of trust and the second studies the cultural transmission of values, attitudes and beliefs. I follow closely the literature on the cultural t

Abstract:

The ethical issues that are associated with interprofessional relationships in health care affect the care that patients receive in an institutional setting. There are many components of difference that affect relationships, but this work focuses on sexual difference and how it is revealed in the discourse of health care. Since the ethical obligations of health care providers historically have been derived from the roles of those professionals, the patient and provider relationship is described to establish the obligations of nurses, physical therapists, and physicians to patients. Because hea

Abstract:

This research analyzes the factors influencing choice and the determinants of women's health services demand. Demand for health services in Colombia is practically unexplored, and there appear to be no studies of demand for health services by women of child rearing age in Colombia. The Colombian National Health Study of 1980 (Estudio Nacional de Salud-1980) is the data base used, supplemented by hospital data from the Ministry of Health. After a description of the Colombian Health System, the choice between traditional and modern care is studied for prenatal care, and for child's delivery assi

Abstract:

Resource poor countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, face many challenges improving maternal health due to financial and human capital constraints, lack of motivation among health providers and lack of physical resources. One of the key policies implemented in Rwanda in response to these issues is Performance Based Financing (PBF). PBF provides bonus payments to providers for improvements in performance measured by indicators of specific types of utilization (e.g. prenatal care) and quality of care. While the approach promises to improve health system performance, there is little rigor

Abstract:

A qualitative research approach using constructivist grounded theory methodology was used to further understanding and generate dialogue about the experiences of overweight and obese female healthcare consumers. Participants included 22 women, all of whom identified as large bodied. Data was collected from two major sources: semi structured interviews with participants and current literature. The value of this study lies in the documentation of a substantive theory which elucidates the issues facing overweight and obese female healthcare consumers, and the strategies they employ to manage thes
