Parents experience of having children diagnosed with ADHD : A Litterature Review
No full textBakgrund ADHD är en neuropsykiatrisk sjukdom som skapar svårighet med impulsivitet, hyperaktivitet och koncentration. Barn med denna diagnos har stor risk att hamna i ett flertal ogynnsamma situationer. Inom vården läggs stort fokus av sjuksköterskan på barnet i sig, men ofta glöms föräldern i situationen bort. ADHD är en livsomställande diagnos för alla inblandade där föräldrarna också är i behov av stöd, för sig själv men även för barnet med ADHD. Syfte Syftet var att beskriva föräldrars erfarenheter av att ha barn med diagnosen ADHD. Metod En litteraturöversikt som utgår utifrån tio vetenskapliga originalartiklar båda kvalitativa och kvantitativa forskningar. Resultat Resultatet i litteraturstudien visas i tre teman respektive underteman: Tema 1: föräldrars handlande gentemot barnen utifrån kunskap och strategier. Tema 2: påverkan på familjen och det sociala livet för föräldern som delas till två underteman: Familjestrukturens påverkan av barn med ADHD och påverkan på möjlighet och trygghet i det sociala livet. Tema 3: dagliga påfrestning som påverkar föräldralivet och delas till tre underteman: Stress, föräldrars psykiska hälsa och saknad stöd och hjälp. Slutsats Resultaten i litteraturstudien visar att upplevelsen av att ha barn med diagnosen ADHD i föräldrars liv var krävande, utmanade och stressande samt påverkade föräldrars sociala, fysiska och psykiska hälsa. Det visar att barn med ADHD påverkade familjestrukturen, hushållsekonomi och föräldrars jobb. Att vårda barn med ADHD var inte lätt för föräldrars sociala liv och skapade rädsla, oro, otrygghet och känsla av att vara otillräcklig samt inkompetenta för att ta hand om sitt barn. Det framkom också att föräldrar upplevde stigmatisering och isolering från människorna i samhället och anhöriga.Background ADHD is a neuropsychiatric disorder that creates difficulty with impulsivity, hyperactivity and concentration. Children with this diagnosis have a high risk of ending up in a number of unfavorable situations. In care, the nurse places great focus on the child itself, but the parent is often forgotten in the situation. As ADHD is a lifechanging diagnosis for everyone involved, the parents also need support, for themselves but also for the child with ADHD. Aim The purpose was to describe parents' experiences of having a child diagnosed with ADHD. Method A literature review based on ten original scientific articles, both qualitative and quantitative research. Results The results of the literature study are shown in three themes and subthemes: Theme 1: parents' actions towards the children based on knowledge and strategies. Theme 2: the impact on the family and the social life of the parent, which is divided into two sub-themes: The impact of the family structure on children with ADHD and the impact on opportunities and security in social life. Theme 3: daily stress that affects parental life and is divided into three sub-themes: Stress, parents mental health and lack of support and help. Conclusions The results of the literature study show that the experience of having a child with the diagnosis ADHD in the parents' lives was demanding, challenging and stressful and affected the parents' social, physical and mental health. It shows that children with ADHD affected the family structure, household finances and parents' jobs. Caring for children with ADHD was not easy for parents' social lives and created fear, anxiety, insecurity and feelings of being inadequate and incompetent to care for their child. It also emerged that parents experienced stigmatization and isolation from the people in society and relatives

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
