När tiden rinner ut : En kvalitativ studie kring cancersjukas sista tid i livet

Karlsson, Johanna, Karlsson, Salome January 2014 (has links)
Bakgrund: År 2011 fick cirka 58 000 människor i Sverige diagnosen cancer. Antalet människor som drabbas ökar och varje år avlider cirka 21 000 människor till följd av sjukdomen. Sjukdomen orsakar lidande vilket medför att den drabbade är i behov av förståelse. Forskning kring cancersjukas upplevelser efter att ha fått besked att deras tid i livet är utmätt på grund av terminal cancer är  begränsad.                  Syfte: Syftet var att belysa upplevelsen av förändring i livsvärlden då cancern övergår till ett terminalt tillstånd.                 Metod: En kvalitativ litteraturstudie baserad på sex självbiografier. Innehållet analyserades med hjälp av Lundman och Graneheims innehållsanalys (2004).  Resultat: Tre kategorier framträdde: Fysisk och social förändring, Inställning till livet med kontroll och hopp i fokus samt Känslor i relation till sjukdom. Kategorin fysisk och social förändring behandlar förändring av den levda kroppen och mellanmänskliga relationer. Kontroll var en central del då avsaknad av kontroll medförde känslan av maktlöshet. Hopp var viktigt för att behålla livslusten. Terminal cancer medförde negativa känslor som ångest, men även betydelsefulla känslor såsom välbefinnande och mening.          Slutsatser: Tillståndet medförde omfattande förändringar i livsvärlden. Känslan av att vara begränsad och maktlös framkom, men även upplevelsen av att uppskatta livet på ett annat sätt än tidigare.

Manageable Problems/Unmanageable Death: The Social Organization of Palliative Care

Miller, Rena 15 August 2014 (has links)
This thesis is an exploration of the social construction and organization of community palliative care. The author's personal experience as the wife of a dying person is used to explicate the social relations of palliative care, through the feminist and constructivist methodology of institutional ethnography. The data analyzed includes a personal journal, working texts of the palliative care team (e.g. recording and reporting forms) obtained through Freedom of Information, and the Palliative Care at Home manual. / Graduate / 0452

Food for Thought:Reimagining the Ontario Food Terminal

Ferro-Townsend, Sacha 25 May 2011 (has links)
Toronto is experiencing a food renaissance. Although there has been a resurgence in the popularity of local food and specialty products, neither supermarkets nor farmers’ markets have adequately responded to meet the demand. Contemporary retail infrastructure, comprised mainly of supermarket chains and independent farmers’ markets, is insufficient. In the supermarket reliable global imports are valued over regional products that support local farmers and the economy. Chain retailers prefer global players that produce consistent results in order to feed consumers who have become accustomed to seasonless food. On the other side of the spectrum, farmers’ markets do not generate the economy of scale required to keep the food industry afloat. As a convenience-driven consumer culture, the limited hours and seasonal variability associated with the farmers’ market typology inadequately fills the desire for locally sourced products. Simultaneously, wholesale distribution nodes have created a closed circuit of food delivery. In Toronto the main distribution point of wholesale produce stems from the Ontario Food Terminal, which feeds the city’s myriad grocery stores and restaurants. This ‘just in time’ food delivery system relies heavily on moving food in and out as quickly as possible. How can it be re-imagined as a dynamic space of interaction among a diverse group of vendors, purchasers and consumers? This thesis looks at the spatial impact of the food distribution network in Southern Ontario by re-imagining the Ontario Food Terminal as an organism of both local and global agricultural distribution. It attempts to respond to the growing desire of the public for locally sourced food products and fill a void that is currently missing: that of a reliable network to support local agricultural products. Local food can only survive by leveraging the global system. The reconciliation of two seemingly incompatible systems - local and global - will create a dynamic hybrid that captures the authenticity lacking in contemporary food culture.
