Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoEste trabalho analisa a questão da afetividade no discurso do menor abandonado institucionalizado. Primeiramente apresenta-se uma visão da atual situação desses menores no Brasil, baseada em uma significativa bibliografia constituída de artigos e teses publicados sob forma de livros. Em seguida organizou-se o aparato teórico que fundamentou e legitimou a análise dos dados e seu resultado. A questão da afetividade é discutida em termos de seus valores e perspectivas a partir de um contexto de vida dos menores abandonados. Num último momento, foram colocados os caminhos da pesquisa, a maneira como o material coletado os procedimentos que conduziram à análise propriamente dita. Efetivada a análise, procedeu-se ao estudo dos resultados obtidos

Using a Model of Economic Solvency to Understand the Connection between Economic Factors and Intimate Partner Violence

Poverty is a risk factor for intimate partner violence (IPV); however, little is known about the economic state at which women are no longer at risk for IPV due to their economic status, which is economic solvency. A Model of Economic Solvency in women has been developed from the literature that includes four factors: human capital, social capital, sustainable employment, and independence. The purpose of this research is to validate the model in a sample of women reporting IPV. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test the model using data from 280 abused women. Examination of the model yielded adequate fit with the data, indicating that the model is valid for use with women reporting IPV. The validation of the model offers strength of association between constructs and can be used to plan interventions to improve economic solvency in abused women to potentially reduce violence and facilitate recovery

Motherhood and decision-making among women living with HIV in developed countries: a systematic review with qualitative research synthesis

Background: Women living with HIV (WLH) lack evidence-based information about reproductive options while man‑ aging pressures from family, clinicians, and communities to give up the idea of having children. As the reproduction intentions of WLH are not well understood, stigmatizing behaviors force them to hide their disease to avoid rejection by their family, partner, and social networks. Compliance with social norms, fear of stigma, and discrimination infu‑ ence their experience. Current research is individual qualitative studies lacking the synthesis perspective necessary to guide intervention development. The purpose of this study was to synthesize the evidence to explain the reproduc‑ tive decision-making process for WLH in developed countries. Methods: A systematic review with qualitative research synthesis was conducted through searches in 10 elec‑ tronic databases (CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus, Social Science Citation Index, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Cuidatge, Cuiden Enfspo, and SciELO). Studies published in journals from 1995 to 2019 with qualitative data about reproductive decision-making among WLH in developed countries were eligible for inclusion. Developed country wasoperationalized by membership in the OECD for comparative conditions of social wellbeing and economic stability. The CASP and JBI checklists for qualitative research were used to assess study quality and methodological integrity. Thematic analysis and qualitative meta-summary techniques were used for the synthesis. Results: Twenty studies from 12 developed countries were included in the synthesis. Findings were organized into 3 meta-themes from 15 themes and 45 subthemes, including: (1) Shattered identity, (2) Barriers, inequities, and misinfor‑ mation, (3) Coping, resiliency, and support. Reproductive decision-making was perceived as a complex process infu‑ enced by facilitators and barriers. The facilitators helped WLH cope with their new situation to become more resilient, while the barriers made their situation more difcult to manage. Conclusion: WLH encounter reproductive decision-making with knowledge defcits and limited social support. An integrated approach to holistic care with comprehensive multidisciplinary counseling is needed to support WLH. Clinicians could beneft from professional development to learn how to be authentically present for WLH, including engaging in conversations, demonstrating compassion, and understanding situations. Evidence-based clinical prac‑ tice guidelines need to be tailored for the family planning and sexual health needs of WLH. Keywords: AIDS, HIV, Decision-making, Pregnancy, Reproductive health, Wome

A Value-Based Approach to Increase Breast Cancer Screening and Health-Directed Behaviors among American Indian Women

American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) women have the lowest cancer-screening rate of any ethnic or racial group; AI/AN women in all regions are less likely than non-Hispanic white women to be diagnosed with localized breast cancer; and those AI/AN women presenting with breast cancer have the lowest 5-year survival rate compared to other ethnic groups. This study found that cultural beliefs are more of a factor in mammography screening behavior than other barriers such as access; and that a more holistic educational intervention designed by AI/AN women prompted individual intent and actions to seek mammograms among AI/AN women >40 and to change unhealthy eating and sedentary lifestyles

The lived experience of Chinese medical tourists receiving cancer care: A qualitative study

Abstract Aim The purpose of this study was to describe and explore the lived experience of Chinese medical tourists receiving cancer care in clinical settings in the United States. Design A qualitative phenomenological design. Methods In this study, Hermeneutic phenomenology was used to interview 11 participants on WeChat, a popular social media platform of China. Hermeneutic phenomenology methods and hermeneutic circles were used to analyse data. Results Five themes identified were: the application process involves various challenges; overcoming transportation and language barriers; feeling content with healthcare received in the United States; nearly perfect experience, except for long waiting times; and high cost of being a medical tourist. Conclusion Despite the cost and complexity of cancer treatment, Chinese medical tourists valued their experience in US clinical settings. Although, they experienced real challenges, they overcame obstacles with self‐determination and varied resources. Therefore, culturally appropriate healthcare is highly recommended. Relevance to clinical practice The findings of this study are relevant for clinical practice, particularly cancer care to medical tourists in the United States. To better support the Chinese medical tourists with cancer, various strategies and techniques, as reported in this study, could be helpful. It is highly recommended to provide healthcare providers to enable them to understand and respect the diversity norms of other cultures
