Psychosocial and emotional experiences of living with diabetes : A systematic literature review
No full textBakgrund: Livet med typ 1-diabetes (T1D) eller typ 2-diabetes (T2D) innebär mer än enbart fysiska utmaningar och påverkar även personens emotionella och psykosociala hälsa. För att få en helhetsförståelse av sjukdomsupplevelsen är det viktigt att dessa aspekter belyses. Syfte: Att beskriva vuxnas psykosociala och emotionella erfarenheter av att leva med T1D och T2D. Metod: En systematisk litteraturöversikt med kvalitativ ansats genomfördes. Sökningar utfördes i databaserna PubMed och CINAHL, och 11 kvalitativa studier publicerade mellan 2019 och 2025 inkluderades. Kvalitativ innehållsanalys genomfördes enligt Hällgren Graneheim och Lundman (2004). Resultat: Två teman och sex subteman identifierades. Temat Sjukdomen tar plats i livet omfattade följande subtema: En oväntad vändning, Den känslomässiga belastningen i vardagen, Känsla av förlust och Stigma. Temat Styrka i det sårbara omfattade Ensamhet eller samhörighet och Att växa genom sjukdomen. Slutsats: Studien visade att diabetes har en betydande påverkan på den emotionella och psykosociala hälsan. Resultaten betonar vikten av att dessa aspekter uppmärksammas som en integrerad del av sjukdomsupplevelsen. De psykosociala och emotionella erfarenheterna kan förstås och främjas utifrån känsla av sammanhang (KASAM). Genom att validera och bemöta känslomässiga och psykosociala erfarenheter kan vården bidra till förbättrad livskvalitet och behandlingsresultat för personer med diabetes.Background: Living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D) involves more than just physical challenges, it also affects a person's emotional and psychosocial health. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the illness experience, it is important to highlight these aspects. Aim: To describe adults’ psychosocial and emotional experiences of living with T1D and T2D. Method: A systematic literature review with a qualitative approach was conducted. Searches were performed in the databases PubMed and CINAHL, and 11 qualitative studies published between 2019 and 2025 were included. Qualitative content analysis was conducted according to Hällgren Graneheim and Lundman (2004). Results: Two themes and six subthemes were identified. The theme The illness takes place in life encompassed the following subthemes: An unexpected turning point, The emotional burden in everyday life, A sense of loss, and Stigma. The theme Strength in vulnerability encompassed the subthemes Loneliness or togetherness and To growth through illness. Conclusion: The study showed that diabetes has a significant impact on emotional and psychosocial health. The results emphasize the importance of recognizing these aspects as an integrated part of the experience of illness. Emotional and psychosocial experiences can be understood and supported through the framework of Sense of Coherence (SOC). By validating and addressing emotional and psychosocial experiences, healthcare can contribute to improved quality of life and treatment outcomes for people with diabetes

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
