Kvinnors upplevelser av stigma resulterat av HIV/AIDS diagnosGullberg, Frida January 2007 (has links)
År 2006 levde 17,7 miljoner kvinnor, globalt, med HIV: ett virus som ännu inte har eliminerats, med behandlingar som resulterar i biverkningar och ofta ger resistensutveckling. Syftet för denna uppsats var att studera kvinnornas upp-levelser och erfarenheter av stigma som ett resultat av deras HIV/AIDS diagnos och att analysera och kommunicera ett perspektiv på omsorg. En litteraturstudie baserad på kvalitativa artiklar genomfördes. Resultaten visade att kvinnorna konfronterades med en varierande uppsättning negativa, förutfattade attityder från partners, familjemedlemmar, vänner och arbetskamrater när de avslöjade sin HIV/AIDS status vilket påverkade deras självbild. Om de valde att hemlighålla HIV/AIDS fick kvinnorna kontrollera information rörande sina symtom, gömma mediciner eller omklassificera sina tillstånd till andra sjukdomar. Kvinnorna erfor både stöd och diskriminering ifrån hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal. Vissa, emellertid, fann ny mening i livet genom diagnosen. Omsorgsperspektivet identifierade det som stressade kvinnorna, vilka handlingsmöjligheter som fanns att tillgå samt hur sjuksköterskan kunde bry sig om patienten och tillgodose vård utan att kontrollera deras situation. / In 2006, 17.7 million women globally lived with HIV; a virus that has yet to be eliminated, with treatments that result in side effects and, often, produce resistance. The aim for this essay was to study women’s experinces of stigma as a result of their HIV/AIDS diagnosis and to analyse and communicate a perspective on caring. A literature review based on qualitative articles was carried out. The results demonstrated that the women were confronted with a variety of negative, preconceived attitudes from partners, family members, friends and colleagues when they revealed their HIV/AIDS status which affected their self-image. If they chose to keep their HIV/AIDS a secret, the women had to control information concerning their symptoms, hide medicines or reclassify their condition as another disease. The women experienced both support and discrimination from health care workers. Some, however, found new meaning in life through the diagnosis. The perspective on caring identified what caused the women stress, what coping options were available to them, and how the nurse could show concern for the patient and provide care without controlling their situation.

Exploring the Help-seeking / Helping Dynamic in Illegal Drug UsePolych, Carol 01 March 2011 (has links)
Heuristic qualitative research techniques (Moustakas,1990) were used to explore the dynamic of the help-seeking / helping relationship in illegal drug use from the perspective of the professional. Six professionals, expert in helping people living with an addiction, shared their opinions and insights, analyzed problems, explained the rewards, and made recommendations for improvement, based on their own practices within the health care and social services systems. These professionals identify stigma as a major barrier to the provision of quality care in addictions, and analysis shows that a cultural predilection for scapegoating underlies the application of stigma. The many layered social purposes served by the designation of certain substances as illegal and the utility of scapegoating to hegemonic, vested interests is surveyed. This thesis reviews the true social costs of addictions, the entrenched and enmeshed nature of the alternate economy, and the many above ground institutions and professions sustained by the use of drugs designated as illegal. Prohibition and imprisonment as a response to illegal drug use is exposed as costly, inhumane, dangerous, and overwhelmingly counterproductive in terms of limiting harm from illegal drug use. A recent example of drug prohibition propaganda is deconstructed. Consideration is given to the role of the Drug War as a vehicle to accelerate social creep toward a fragmented self-disciplining surveillance society of consumer-producers in the service of economic elites. Classism is brought forward from a fractured social ground characterized by many splits: sexism, racism, age-ism, able-ism, size-ism, locationism, linguism, and others, to better track the nature of the social control that illegal drugs offer to economic elites. The moral loading that surrounds illegal drug use is deconstructed and the influence of religion is presented for discussion. The primitive roots of human understanding that endorse the ritual Drug War and its supporting mythology, leading to the demonization of illegal drugs and the people who use them, are uncovered. Direction is taken from Benner and Wrubel’s Primacy of Caring (1989) and other leaders in the professions as a means to move practitioners away from their roles as agents of social control into a paradigm of social change.
