Part of the presentation “Navigating Narrative: Women’s Complex Agency in Claiming Self and Family Wellness.” Communication and cross-disciplinary researchers have directed attention to the reciprocal influence of narrative with experiences of illness and wellness (e.g., Arthur Frank, Carolyn Ellis, Barbara Sharf, Patricia Geist-Martin, Lynn Harter, Art Bochner, Bud Goodall). Indeed, stories are increasingly the points of focus across a broad range of disciplines studying topics such as global health, marginalized communities and feminist standpoints, geriatric health/care, nursing experience, health message promotion, family caregiving, patient agency, holistic wellness, adolescent well-being, aging, and women’s reproductive health, among numerous others. Grounded in these interests, this panel looks at interconnections among gender, health/illness/well-being, and narrative, with particular attention to how women’s experiences of health and care influence and are influenced by the stories told by them and about them. Looking beneath what may be readily apparent, panelists examine well-being- and health-related narrative to identify variables of wellness that seem empowering but are not, appear disempowering but are not, look generic and broadly applicable but are not, and present as inevitable or despairing but are not.

A refeição familiar desempenha uma função estruturante das relações sociais, mas os convívios comensais de jovens órfãos com suas famílias podem ser afetados no contexto da orfandade pelo HIV/AIDS. Como parte de um projeto de pesquisa temático sobre Estigma e Discriminação relacionados ao HIV/AIDS, realizou-se um estudo para apreender os aspectos condicionantes das refeições familiares e caracterizar os convívios comensais de jovens órfãos pela AIDS em São Paulo. Portanto, realizou-se um estudo transversal com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa a partir de perspectiva interdisciplinar entre antropologia da alimentação, saúde pública e ecologia cultural. Na fase qualitativa, foram utilizadas 19 entrevistas com jovens órfãos pela AIDS. As narrativas foram percorridas em busca de categorias contextuais e da sincronia de convívios espaciais e temporais para refeições. Na abordagem quantitativa, utilizou-se amostra com 276 jovens órfãos pela AIDS. Foram realizadas análises descritivas dos dados com distribuição de frequências e posteriormente foi aplicado o teste de Rao Scott. Os testes foram conduzidos em nível de significância de 5% e poder de teste de 80%. Para realização destas análises utilizou-se do programa STATA 10.0. As metodologias foram consideradas complementares e o processo de construção da análise foi desenvolvido a partir da ideia de artesanato intelectual proposta por Wright Mills (2009). Os resultados demonstraram que (1) a refeição familiar reflete a estrutura familiar; (2) a refeição atua como eixo da sincronia familiar em ritmos temporais e espaciais, e (3) as refeições refletem as mudanças nos convívios contemporâneos e os compromissos temporais com a família favorecem a adaptabilidade do jovem órfão em contexto urbano. / The family meal plays a structuring role in social relations, but commensal gatherings of young orphans and their families might be affected in the context of orphaned by HIV/AIDS. As part of a themed research project on Stigma and Discrimination Related to HIV/AIDS, this study was conducted in order to understand all conditioning aspects of family meals and to characterize commensal gatherings of young people orphaned by AIDS in São Paulo. For such, we performed a crosssectional study with qualitative and quantitative approaches from an interdisciplinary perspective between food anthropology, public health and cultural ecology. In the qualitative phase, interviews with 19 young people orphaned by AIDS were used. The narratives were covered in search of contextual categories and synchrony of spatial and temporal gatherings for meals. The quantitative approach was used to sample 276 young people orphaned by AIDS. Descriptive analyzes of the data with frequency distribution were performed and then the Rao Scott test used. Tests were conducted at a significance level of 5% and power of 80%. For these analyzes we used the STATA 10.0 software. The methodologies were complementary and stemmed from the idea of intellectual craft proposed by Wright Mills (2009). The results showed that (1) the family meal reflects the family structure; (2) the meal acts as an axis of family synchrony in spatial and temporal rhythms, and (3) meals reflect changes in contemporary gatherings and family time commitments promote the adaptability of the young orphan in an urban context.

Introdução: Os adolescentes são considerados vulneráveis do ponto de vista nutricional, pois tendem a omitir refeições e não realizá-las com a família. Refeições em família propiciam oportunidade de socializar o adolescente e ensiná-lo sobre nutrição e bons hábitos alimentares. Objetivos Verificar associação entre freqüência de refeições em família com o consumo de alimentos e estado nutricional de adolescentes. Metodologia: Foram estudados adolescentes do ensino médio de 12 escolas técnicas da região metropolitana de São Paulo, com amostragem aleatória simples. Os adolescentes responderam dois questionários, sendo um sobre atitude alimentar e outro sobre a freqüência alimentar. Foi realizada mensuração antropométrica e calculado o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) para analisar o estado nutricional, utilizando-se o IMC/ idade. Para a análise dos dados foram utilizados os testes Qui-quadrado e a Análise de Variância e também comparações múltiplas quando houve diferenças significativas entre médias. Resultados: Foram avaliados 1167 adolescentes, sendo 51por centomeninos e 49por centomeninas. A média de IMC para ambos os gêneros foi de 22,28kg/m2 (±3,9) e observou-se baixa ingestão de verduras, legumes, frutas e leite. Verificou-se que aproximadamente 70por centodos adolescentes informaram realizar pelo menos 3 vezes/ semana refeições junto com a família. Detectou-se que realizar pelo menos 1 vez por dia refeições em família está associado com maior ingestão de verduras, legumes e frutas e há a tendência de ingerir maior quantidade de carnes e ovos. Não foi observada associação entre freqüência de refeições em família e estado nutricional. Conclusão: Foi verificado que a maioria dos adolescentes realizava pelo menos 3 refeições em família por semana e aqueles que faziam com maior freqüência ingeriam maior quantidade de verduras, legumes e frutas. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante para o estado nutricional / Introduction: By the nutritional point of view, the adolescent are considered vulnerable, because they run to omit and not to perform the meals with the family.

This study used structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine how sleep problems, Body Mass Index (BMI), and poverty were related to several work, personal, and family variables in a sample of married male and female workers in the United States. The data for this study came from the National Study of the Changing Workforce (NSCW) 2008. This large, nationally representative dataset provided a resource for examining potential gender differences in variables that have been linked to sleep problems and increases in BMI, as well as how each of these variables relate to several work, personal, and family life outcomes, including marital satisfaction, work-to-family conflict, family-to-work conflict, self-reported health (SRH), and life satisfaction. Poverty, work hours, family meals, and workplace flexibility were analyzed in the model to assess their connections to sleep problems and BMI, as well as the five outcome variables. The SEM analysis utilized a multi-group gender comparison by analyzing differences between two group models consisting of married male employees (n = 1105) and married female employees (n = 1019) in the U.S. The model was significantly different for married males than married females. Several of the individual pathways in the model also differed significantly by gender. Family dinners and workplace flexibility seem to provide a positive influence on health and satisfaction outcomes, and relate negatively to sleep problems and BMI, as well as both types of work and family conflict. Sleep problems also were related to increased work-family conflict, and decreased health and satisfaction outcomes. Also, BMI scores were negatively related to self-reported health and life satisfaction. Overall, this study showed that several work and family demands and resources are related to sleep problems and BMI. It also demonstrated that sleep problems and BMI were generally related to negative outcomes in work, personal, and family life.
