Get PDFThis research examines the connection between internalized homophobia and the partnering process among gay people in Vietnam. It explores their criteria for finding a committed partner, which is based on perceptions of gender roles, gender expression, and sex roles. It shows that their concepts of an ideal type of partner and relationship are rooted in what they have learned and internalized in a heteronormative environment, which devalues androgynous gender expression and gender nonconformity. It also explores the use of dating applications among Vietnamese gays and how this partnering method can lead to internalized homophobia and discrimination within the LGBTQ+ community. This study expands upon current understandings of LGBTQ+ people in Vietnam and their relationships with each other and contributes to the library of queer studies in Asian, Confucian regions
Current Trends in Care for Infants Diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome in Canada: A Discussion Paper
Get PDFIntroduction: Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is a growing epidemic across the globe. Infants diagnosed often require resource-intensive nursing care and are at risk for future complex health conditions. A shift in approaches to care for this population has been identified as a priority health care need across Canada. Objectives: This discussion paper aims to highlight the current shift in care for the NAS population, focusing on the Finnegan Neonatal Abstinence Scoring Tool (FNAST) and the Eat, Sleep, Console (ESC) model of care. Methods: A comprehensive search strategy was developed to explore the current trend in care for infants diagnosed with NAS: the transition from the FNAST to the ESC model of care. Four scholarly databases (CINAHL, PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar) were searched. Relevant articles were critically analyzed for their implications on infant and family health, family experience, health system outcomes, and nursing practice. Discussion: In our review of the literature, the FNAST was the most used tool when caring for infants diagnosed with NAS. Although this tool has guided care for infants for decades, it presents some limitations, including subjectivity, invasive and lengthy assessments, and lack of collaboration. Many facilities across Canada are shifting to the ESC model of care as an alternative model. It has potential to address challenges of the care guided by the FNAST, with the ESC model emphasizing non-pharmacological care, a focus on the birth-parent–infant dyad, and dedication to a function-based assessment. Conclusion: Further efforts are needed to support the real-world implementation of evidence-based models of care for this population
Exploring the volume and type of unhealthy advertising in close proximity to schools: An audit of bus shelter advertising in one mid-sized Canadian city
Get PDFBackground: Unhealthy advertising influences the attitudes and behaviour of children. Child exposure to products such as alcohol and fast food have been linked to adverse health problems, such as heavy drinking and obesity. Bus shelter advertisements are a potential exposure site for unhealthy advertising for children as they take municipal transit to and from school. This study explores the volume and type of unhealthy advertising at bus shelters within close proximity to schools in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Methods: In Halifax, Nova Scotia, 55 bus shelters with advertising were within a 500-metre distance of an elementary, junior, or high school. Three audits occurred in October 2020 (Fall), January 2021 (Winter), and April 2021 (Spring). Advertisements were coded as unhealthy if containing alcohol or gambling promotions. Food promotions were classified as maximum (healthy), moderate, or minimum (unhealthy) nutrition. Results: In total, 319 bus shelter advertisements were collected across three audits. Of these, 14.4% of advertisements were unhealthy (n = 46), and less than 1% (n = 3) were classified as healthy. For the unhealthy advertising, 37.0% (n = 17) of advertisements promoted gambling, 32.6% (n = 15) advertised food, 21.7% (n = 10) advertised non-alcohol beverages, and 8.7% (n = 4) advertised alcohol. The majority of advertisements (n = 270; 84.6%) were classified as other. Implications: Children are potentially exposed to unhealthy advertising as they travel to and from school in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Further research is needed to understand how and when children are exposed to these types of advertising. Municipalities can consider implementing further bylaws and administrative orders that create supportive environments for children and youth

A Room All Her Own: An Aged Care Story
No full textThe Biography Project is a research and teaching initiative that has allowed university students to assist older persons living in isolated rural communities or long-term residential care in Australia in the telling and writing of their life story. Storytelling is valuable for individuals in later life as a means of reflecting on their past, addressing past and present challenges, connecting with others, sharing invaluable insight with younger generations and acquiring a renewed sense of worth through the process. Focusing on the story of Merle, an aged care resident who for a year and a half shared her story with the author while confined to a room of her own, the article explores the specific impact of the storytelling process as it plays out for both the teller and the listener. While doing so the article suggests that life stories like Merle‘s, that convey perspectives, experiences and knowledge from a time that is no longer, might have a place within and provide a worthwhile resource for the field of literary studies including the study of the spatial dimension.L‘initiative de recherche et d‘enseignement The Biography Project établie en Australie permet aux étudiant.e.s de niveau universitaire d‘aider des personnes âgées résidentes de régions rurales ou de maisons de retraite à entreprendre le récit de leur vie. L‘article discute en quoi l‘entreprise de récit de vie s‘avère souvent enrichissante du fait de permettre aux personnes impliquées de réfléchir sur le passé, d‘établir des liens sociaux avec autrui, de partager leurs expériences et perspectives sur la vie avec des jeunes, tout en acquérant un sentiment de valeur personnelle au cours du processus en question. En se penchant sur l‘autobiographie de Merle, résidente d‘une maison de retraite en Australie qui, pendant un an et demi, a partagé le récit de sa vie avec l‘auteure, l‘article explore l‘impact du processus de récit de vie sur la personne qui raconte sa vie et sur celle qui l‘écoute. Ce faisant, l‘article cherche à savoir si les récits de vie tels que celui de Merle, du fait de transmettre des perspectives, expériences et savoirs à la fois singuliers et issus d‘un temps qui n‘existe plus, ont le potentiel de contribuer ou d‘offrir une ressource aux études littéraires y compris dans la réflexion sur l‘espace
