“You Can’t Pour From An Empty Cup”: Self-Care and Spiritual Activism in Queen Afua’s Sacred Woman

Pettijohn, Brandy j 16 December 2015 (has links)
Queen Afua created the Sacred Woman as a text and program that seeks to heal women of common disorders that particularly affect the African American community. This thesis project is a conversation about the self-care methods embedded within the text that moves away from the ideology of the strongblackwoman. I position both theories and methods of self-care by using a womanist theoretical framework, as well as textual analysis and interviews as methods that examine the womanist concept of spiritual activism, which expands what is thought of as radical and liberatory activist actions.

Ensam är stark? : Strategier för personer med astma att hantera sin sjukdom. / The power of one? : Strategies for persons with asthma to manage their illness

Weibust, Amanda, Söderlund, Hanna January 2013 (has links)
Bakgrund: Astma är en kronisk sjukdom som i dagens läge drabbar närmare 10 % av Sveriges befolkning. Då sjukdomen är av kronisk natur med i vissa fall livshotande symtom är det av stor vikt att människor med astma lär sig hantera sin sjukdom och förebygga symtomen som den medför. Faktumet att det idag fortfarande förekommer dödsfall till följd av akuta astmaanfall talar för att det finns ett behov av en ökad kunskap kring sjukdomen. Med ett vårdvetenskapligt perspektiv ses hälsa inte bara som frånvaron av sjukdom utan som en balans mellan livets olika komponenter, både biologiska och existentiella. Då upplevelsen av astma är högst individuell är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan förhåller sig till detta och strävar efter att göra patienten delaktig i sin egen hälsoprocess, utifrån hans/hennes egna förutsättningar och behov. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt har varit att beskriva faktorer som har en positiv påverkan på patientens egen förmåga att hantera sitt liv med astma. Metod: Detta är en litteraturöversikt som är baserad på 14 vetenskapliga artiklar, varav 12 med kvantitativ ansats och två med kvalitativ ansats. Samtliga finns tillgängliga på databaserna Cinahl plus with Full Text och Pubmed. Artiklarna har kvalitetsgranskats och analyserats i flera steg enligt rekommendationer för analysförfarande vid en litteraturöversikt. Resultat: I resultatet presenteras fyra kategorier som beskriver faktorer som har en positiv inverkan på patientens förmåga till egenvård och sjukdomskontroll vid diagnostiserad astma; Information och utbildning, Vårdteamet och sjuksköterskan, Beslut och ansvar samt Socialt stöd och gruppverksamhet. Diskussion: I diskussionen belyses patientens behov av relevant information, möjlighet till en god dialog med vårdpersonal samt delaktighet i de beslut som rör den egna hälsan och vikten av att dela erfarenheter med andra människor med astma som är i en liknande situation. Dessa komponenter diskuteras i relation till begreppet Empowerment som syftar till att personer som på något sätt befinner sig i en maktlös position, ska kunna få den kraft och kontroll som behövs för att övervinna känslan av vanmakt. De strategier som hade en positiv påverkan på patientens förmåga att bemästra sin sjukdom ställs i relation till denna teori, som i denna kontext handlar om att personer med astma kan få en ökad känsla av kontroll och inflytande. / Background: Asthma is a chronic disease which currently affects nearly 10% of Sweden's population. This disease is of chronic nature with sometimes life-threatening symptoms, which makes it important that people with asthma learn how to manage their condition and prevent the symptoms it brings. The fact that deaths from acute asthma attacks still occur suggests that there is a need for increased knowledge about the disease. From a caring science perspective, health is seen not only as the absence of illness but as a balance between life's various components, both biological and existential. As the experience of asthma is highly individual it is important that nurses relate to this and strive to make the patient involved in his/her own health process, based on his/her own circumstances and needs. Aim: The purpose of this literature review was to describe factors which have a positive effect on a patients’ own ability to manage their lives with asthma. Methods: This is a literature review based on 14 scientific articles, 12 of which have a quantitative approach and two with qualitative approach. All are available in the databases Cinahl Plus with Full Text, and PubMed. Articles have been quality controlled and analyzed in several steps according to the recommendations of the analysis procedure for a literature review. Results: The result presents four categories that describe the factors which have a positive effect on the patients’ ability to self-care and disease control in diagnosed asthma; information and education, and care team nurse, decision and responsibility, and social support and group activities. Discussions: The discussion highlights the patient's need for relevant information, the possibility of a dialogue with health professionals and participation in the decision making concerning their own health as well as the importance of sharing experiences with other people with asthma who’s in a similar situation. These components are discussed in relation to the concept of empowerment, aimed at people who somehow find themselves in a submissive position, to get the power and control needed to overcome the feeling of powerlessness. The strategies that had a positive effect on the patients’ ability to cope with their disease is set in relation to this theory, which in this context is about giving the person with asthma an increased sense of control and influence.
