Mary Helen McSweeney-Feld, PhD, Long-Term Care Educator and Author
No full textToday’s guest is Mary Helen McSweeney-Feld. Mary Helen is an associate professor at Towson University in the Department of Health Sciences. Mary Helen is the author of one of the leading textbooks in the field of long-term care, Dimensions of Long-Term Care: An Introduction, and is a recognized leader in long-term care education nationally. In this podcast I talk with Mary Helen about her journey from an early interest in political science and international affairs to discovering the nascent field of health economics in the 80’s, and her transition to an interest in long-term care as a result of having to care for both her father and father-in-law when they suffered from debilitating terminal illnesses. Mary Helen makes a passionate case for long-term care, pointing out the economic opportunities for entrepreneurs, as well as young people looking for a meaningful and well compensated career. I hope you enjoy listening to Mary Helen’s story, and if you find it valuable, won’t you leave us feedback on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you may be accessing this recording.

The Hare and the Tortoise: A Fable from Aesop Retold & Illustrated by Helen Ward
No full textThis is a sideways (landscape) book of considerable artistic appeal. The color work is excellent. A new emphasis in this work lies on all the other animals involved. The inciting incident happens when the careless hare trips over the tortoise and tumbles into a thorny bush. The noise attracts a crowd. The hare insults the tortoise, who says nothing in return except to challenge him to a race. It is when the hare is leaping from stone to stone across the river that he finds the tortoise rowing across more easily. Next the hare finds himself moving through a forest (of larger animals' legs) that leaves him scratched and tired when he reaches its other side. So he decides to take a nap. The hare awakens, checks for the tortoise (who is not in sight), and takes time for a long lunch. The hare crosses the finish line too late but is running too fast to stop and falls into an even thornier bush than before. But this time he said nothing. The last few pages are a key to the various animals pictured along the way. Well done!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)First editionApparent first printingRetold by Helen War

Living with a long-term, indwelling urinary catheter: catheter users' experience
No full textPURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of long-term catheter users within a heterogeneous population.SUBJECTS AND SETTINGS: The sample comprised 27 community-dwelling long-term catheter users. Participants included 14 female users (4 urethral, 10 suprapubic catheter) and 13 male users (6 urethral, 7 suprapubic) between 22 and 96 years of age. Interviews were conducted in participants' homes except 1, which took place in a urology outpatient department based on the participant's preference.METHODS: A qualitative research design using an interpretive description approach was used for data collection and analysis. All interviews were electronically recorded and transcribed verbatim. Interpretive description involved familiarization with the data, thematic analysis, and the development of an interpretive account.RESULTS: The impact of the catheter and daily living adjustments that catheter users made are captured within 8 themes: (1) making adjustments; (2) managing away from home; (3) nighttime adjustment; (4) catheter problems; (5) social interaction; (6) support from others; (7) unpredictability; and (8) intimacy and body image.CONCLUSIONS: Catheter users' experiences of living with a catheter are shaped by a variety of interrelated factors. Some participants were determined to overcome catheter-related problems and develop self-reliance while others adopted a more resigned approach to living with a catheter. Having a catheter enabled some participants to experience greater freedom while others led more restricted lives as a consequence of catheterization
