Kvinnors erfarenheter av sjuksköterskors bemötande i vårdandet av deras bröstcancer En litteraturöversikt / Women’s experiences of nurses support in their breast cancer care A Literature Review

Mitz Langton, Lisa, Sandström, Louise January 2016 (has links)
Bakgrund: Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen bland kvinnor i Sverige. Att drabbas av bröstcancer beskrivs som en utmaning för kvinnans självkänsla, självbild, kvinnlighet och existens. Kvinnorna vill bli bemötta som en enskild individ och inte som en diagnos samt uppleva känslomässigt stöd från sjuksköterskorna. Syfte: Syftet är att genom en vetenskaplig litteraturöversikt beskriva vad kvinnor med bröstcancer har för erfarenheter av sjuksköterskors bemötande. Metod: Underlaget till denna litteraturöversikt består av 15 kvalitativa artiklar varav två delvis kvantitativa. Litteraturen har sökts via databaserna PubMed och Cinahl. Resultatet har sammanställts med hjälp av en analysmetod för kvalitativ forskning. Resultat: Majoriteten av kvinnorna var nöjda och tillfreds med sjuksköterskornas bemötande. Få kvinnor uttryckte missnöje. Kvinnorna uttryckte att sjuksköterskorna hade en viktig roll under deras sjukdomstid och kunde tillmötesgå deras behov. Sjuksköterskornas bemötande uppfattades empatiskt, hänsynsfullt och omtänksamt. De negativa erfarenheter vissa kvinnor beskrev var dålig uppföljning, obesvarade frågor om psykiska besvär, brist på emotionellt stöd och en rädsla av att vara till besvär. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskorna spelar en central roll i mötet med- och i tillfrisknandet hos kvinnor med bröstcancer. / Background: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer amongst women in Sweden. Breast cancer is described as a challenge for a woman's self-esteem, self-image, femininity and existence. Women want to be treated as an individual, not the diagnosis, and seek supportive compassionate care from nursing staff Objective: The aim is to describe women with breast cancer experiences of the nurses’ support through a scientific literature review. Method: The basis of this literature review consists of 15 qualitative scientific studies of which two are partly quantitative. The literature has been searched through PubMed and Cinahl. The results have been compiled according to a review template for qualitative research. Results: The majority of the women were satisfied with the nurses support. Few women expressed dissatisfaction. The women expressed that nurses have an important role during the period of illness and that they satisfied their care needs. The treatment was perceived as empathic, respectful and thoughtful. Some women described negative experiences such as poor follow-up, unanswered questions concerning psychological problems, lack of emotional support and fear of being a burden. Conclusion: Nursing staff play a key role in all stages of treatment relating to breast cancer in women. From the initial diagnosis to subsequent treatment and recovery.

Misogyny and (mis)representation: The female subject in the poetry of jos Ì?de espronceda

Delano, Cristina L 01 June 2005 (has links)
This work explores the portrayal of the female subject in the work of the Spanish Romantic poet. Jos Ì?de Espronceda, This study will analyze the misogynistic representation of women and the denial of female subjectivity.The first chapter discusses the biographical, historical and literary contexts of Esproncedas work. This section will discuss Romantic notions of subjectivity,as well as the ambivalence towards the women during the 19th century. This ambivalence produced a conflict that was reflected in the representation of women as either pure angels or vile demons.The first work that will be discussed is the poem A Jarifa en una orgaÌ?. I will explore how Espronceda vilifies the sexuality of the female protagonist andhow Jarifa is used to reflect the disillusionment of the poet. This section will show how female subjectivity is displaced in favor of the male subject.The second work I will examine is El estudiante de Salamanca.

Therapists' Perceptions of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Treatment for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse

Jones-Smith, Annette 01 January 2018 (has links)
Child sexual abuse is prevalent worldwide and can result in adverse psychological effects that persist into adulthood. Therapists must identify therapeutic treatments for adult survivors of child sexual abuse who continue to experience psychological difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to explore the perceptions of therapists about eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) as a tool to assist adult women survivors of child sexual abuse through the healing process and to regain their abilities to function and behave appropriately. Data were collected through the Moustakas Theory (1994) with 10 therapists who provided therapeutic or counseling services (or both) through EMDR to women with a history of repeated sexual abuse as children. The therapists perceived EMDR as more effective in treating child sexual abuse trauma than other treatment options because it involved the body and worked rapidly, although the treatment may involve a danger of dysregulating the patient. Results indicated the perceived role of EMDR in a treatment program is to allow patients to remember traumatic events without reliving them and to free patients from shame and prepare them to learn more effective coping skills. The therapists implemented EMDR by building rapport, conducting a thorough assessment, focusing treatment on the most distressing elements of past traumas and present triggers, and teaching the client skills for coping with distress. This study contributes to social change by adding more knowledge and awareness about women survivors of child sexual abuse and the various available treatments, thereby helping the long-term impact of women's health with histories of childhood sexual abuse.

A Feasibility Study of a CBT-group Treatment for Hypersexual Disorder in Women

Mejias Nihlén, Theodor January 2021 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the feasibility of a treatment for hypersexual disorder (HD) by calculating and reporting the results with pre-collected data from a research project at ANOVA/Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset. The treatment was a cognitive behavioral group therapy (CBGT) developed for HD administered in a 7-session group setting with a sample of HD-diagnosed women (n = 16). Feasibility was explored through symptom change of hypersexuality, sexual compulsivity, psychological distress, and depression. Symptom change in relationship to treatment attendance was also explored. In this thesis, the results are considered in a broader context, discussing theoretical issues concerning women’s sexuality in relation to hypersexual problems and medicalization of hypersexual behaviors.   The treatment was shown to be feasible. Significant decrease was found on all measures. Attendance rate significantly correlated with a decrease in depressive symptoms, but not on other measures. Women’s sexuality might differ from men’s, but the treatment, which was first evaluated for men, is still feasible for women. Treatment for hypersexual problems in women and hypersexual problems in women in general have been understudied, which makes this study an important contribution to the research field. Further treatment studies could potentially investigate whether specific alterations based on gender and sexual orientation could be needed for further development of the treatment. There are issues concerning medicalization of hypersexual behaviors which should be considered when addressing the phenomenon, such as the influence of moral and cultural factors on the understanding of hypersexuality. Still, there is need for treatment for hypersexual behaviors experienced as problematic, and having these problems addressed within the medical and scientific field has potential for being beneficial and is preferred to having them left to alternative, unregulated health care providers.

Islamic institutions, the status of women, and economic growth

Glover, Michael Emanuel 19 January 2010 (has links)
Within the sample of Muslim-majority countries, the links between how explicitly "Islamic" a society is, the status of women, and economic and other societal outcomes is explored. A country is considered more or less "Islamic" depending upon if Islam is the official state religion, if Islamic law forms a basis for the legal system, and the degree to which the country has rejected or maintained traditional Islamic norms such as regarding the acceptance of polygamy and the legal obligation of women to wear the veil in public. It is found that if a country is more "Islamic," it tends to also have worse outcomes along different dimensions, such as degree of authoritarianism and absence of women's rights. However, focusing exclusively on whether the country has Islamic law as a basis of the legal system, these countries tend to be richer. An extremity index is composed, which contains only variables which describe the status of women in Muslim countries, along educational and legal dimensions. It is found in regressions that this extremity index is a statistically significant predictor of economic growth, where higher extremity leads to lower GDP growth rates. Oil is still an extremely important factor in explaining the variation in GDP levels and growth rates in the Muslim world.
