Long-Term Influence of Family Structure on Young Adult Measures of Psychosocial Adjustment

Get PDFThe purpose of this research is to examine the relationships between the mother\u27s perception of the birth experience, symptoms of the post-traumatic stress, and symptoms of postpartum depression. Sixty-seven participants ranging from 17 to 40 years of age completed a self-report questionnaire containing items from three instruments including the Perception of Birth Scale, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and the Davidson Trauma Scale. The findings reveal a more negative perception of the birth experience is significantly related to a greater frequency and/or. severity of. post- traumatic stress and postpartum depression symptoms following childbirth., These findings support the conclusion that an extremely negative or traumatic . perception of the birth experience may act as a trigger for symptoms of post-traumatic stress as well as predispose the birthing woman to increased symptoms of . postpartum depression. Recommendations for both mental \u27 and medical health practitioners include active exploration of the perceived birth experience during the postpartum phase of the mother\u27s medical care

Acute Stress Disorder, Alcohol Use, and Perception of Safety Among Hospital Staff after the Sniper Attacks
No full textNever outside the labour market, but always outsiders: female migrant workers in Greece
No full textThis article focuses on migrant women’s diverse experiences in the Greek labour market. Since the early 1980s all four Southern European countries of the EU, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy, have been transformed from emigration into immigration countries. The new immigrants, mostly undocumented and illegal, join the informal labour market under highly exploitative conditions. Starting from migrant women’s own perspectives, we analyze their experiences (1) in the framework of the unfolding «Mediterranean immigration model» (2) in the midst of increasing «South» – «North» migrations and increasing migratory flows to Greece in particular; (3) in the context of the legal and policy framework for migrants in Greece; and (4) in the framework of women’s citizenship in society. Our qualitative study of immigrant women in Greece fleshes out the general trends of women\u27s participation in informal labour markets, documents the multi-layered nature of their economic and social exclusion, and highlights the intersecting racialization and sexist practices shaping their experiences

SQC Before Deming: The Works Of Walter Shewhart
No full textThis paper seeks to briefly explicate the importance of the contributions Walter Shewhart made to the field of statistical quality control. Walter Shewhart and his colleagues at Bell laboratories laid much of the important theoretical and practical foundations for statistical quality control prior to World War II. Shewhart developed many of the ideas Deming is known for, to include the Deming cycle, which is more appropriately called the Shewhart cycle. He viewed the pursuit of statistical quality control as a small part of the larger issue of how science can help humans exert influence and control over nature, each of which, he felt, could be accomplished with the right statistical tools
