Healthcare's responsibilities and women's suffering : a literature review on women's lived experience of endometriosis
No full textBakgrund: Endometrios är en kronisk sjukdom som drabbar cirka 10% av kvinnor i fertil ålder, där livmoderslemhinna växer utanför livmodern och orsakar smärta, inflammation och i vissa fall infertilitet. Sjuksköterskan har ett ansvar att erbjuda personcentrerad vård och främja jämlikhet genom att lyssna på patientens upplevelser och anpassa vården efter individuella behov. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med endometrios. Metod: En allmän litteraturöversikt baserad på tio kvalitativa originalartiklar från databaserna CINAHL Complete och PubMed. Artiklarna analyserades utifrån Fribergs analysmodell. Resultat: Resultatet visade att kvinnor med diagnosen endometrios upplevde att deras symtom ignorerades eller avfärdades av vårdpersonal, vilket ledde till försenad diagnos och en försämring av både fysiska och psykiska tillstånd. Sjukdomen påverkade livskvaliteten genom smärta, begränsningar i vardagliga aktiviteter, svårigheter i arbetslivet och sociala relationer samt skapade oro kring fertilitet och identitet. Ett empatiskt bemötande och stöd från vården förbättrade kvinnornas upplevelse av vårdprocessen. Slutsats: Kvinnor med diagnosen endometrios upplever omfattande lidande på grund av kronisk smärta och bristande förståelse från vårdpersonal, vilket leder till fördröjd diagnos och behandling. Detta speglar en brist på personcentrerad vård och ojämlikhet inom vården, där kvinnors hälsoproblem marginaliseras. För att uppnå jämlik vård är det nödvändigt att vårdpersonal ifrågasätter de genusnormer som kan påverka bemötandet.Background: Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age, where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, causing pain, inflammation, and in some cases, infertility. Nurses have a responsibility to provide person-centered care and promote equality by listening to the patient's experiences and tailoring the care to meet individual needs. Aim: The aim was to describe women's experiences of living with endometriosis. Method: A general literature review based on ten qualitative original articles from the databases CINAHL Complete and PubMed. The articles were analyzed using Friberg’s analysis model. Results: The results showed that women with endometriosis felt that their symptoms were ignored or dismissed by healthcare professionals, leading to delayed diagnosis and worsening of both physical and psychological conditions. The disease affected quality of life through pain, limitations in daily activities, difficulties in work and social relationships, and created concerns about fertility and identity. An empathetic approach and support from healthcare improved the women's experience of the health care system. Summary: Women diagnosed with endometriosis experience significant suffering due to chronic pain and a lack of understanding from healthcare providers, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment. This reflects a lack of person-centered care and healthcare inequalities, where women's health issues are marginalized. To achieve health equity, it is essential that healthcare professionals challenge the gender norms that can influence patient interactions

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
