Pediatric nurses’ care encounters with children and families of foreign origin : A literature review
No full textBakgrund: Barn får inte diskrimineras oavsett hudfärg, språk, nationalitet eller religion. Alla barn har lika lagliga rättigheter till god hälsa och omvårdnad. Trots detta visar forskning att barns hudfärg och etnicitet påverkar deras förutsättningar i vården negativt. Barnsjuksköterskor träffar barn och familjer från olika länder och kulturer och förväntas vara rustade inför multikulturella vårdmöten. Syfte: Att belysa barnsjuksköterskors erfarenheter av vårdmöten med barn och familjer med utländsk bakgrund. Metod: Litteraturstudie som har utförts med hjälp av en scoping review. Resultatet bygger på 17 artiklar, som har analyserats med hjälp av tematisk analys. Resultat: Barnsjuksköterskors vårdmöten med barn med utländsk bakgrund beskrivs utifrån fyra teman: Utmaningar i vårdmöten belyser att barnsjuksköterskor upplever att vårdmöten med barn och familjer med utländsk bak försvårar kommunikationen med barn och deras föräldrar. Tolkanvändning och alternativ kommunikation kan brygga de hinder som språkbarriärer medför. Behov av kulturkompetens beskriver barnsjuksköterskors erfarenheter av kulturkompetent omvårdnad inklusive anpassningar och hinder. Temat Kulturkrockar visar att kulturella skillnader kan leda till konflikter mellan barnsjuksköterskor och barns föräldrar. Slutsats: Barnsjuksköterskors möten med barn och familjer med utländsk bakgrund påverkades bland annat av kunskapsluckor och bristande utbildning. Barnsjuksköterskors personliga egenskaper styrde hur de bemötte barn och familjer med utländsk bakgrundBackground: It is illegal to discriminate against children regardless of their skin color, language, religion or nationality. All children have legal rights to good health and care. In spite of this, research proves that children’s skin color and ethnicity affect their care conditions in a negative way. Pediatric nurses encounter children from a variety of countries and cultures and are expected to be prepared for multicultural care encounters. Aim: This study aimed to describe how pediatric nurses’ experience their care encounters with children and families of foreign origin. Method: A literature study, with scoping review as a method. The results are based on 17 research articles, which were analyzed through thematic data-analysis. Results: Pediatric nurses' interactions with children of foreign origin are described through four main themes: Challenges in care encounters demonstrate that pediatric nurses feel that encounters with children and families of foreign backgrounds are time consuming and challenging, and that the care encounters are influenced by stereotypical preconceptions. The effect of language barriers on care interactions show that language barriers can be straining and time consuming and complicates communication with children and their parents. Need of cultural competence describes how pediatric nurses experience culturally competent care, including adjustments and barriers. The theme Cultural clashes shows that cultural differences can cause conflicts between pediatric nurses and children’s parents. Conclusion: The care encounters that pediatric nurses had with children and families with foreign backgrounds were affected by several factors, including knowledge gaps and lacking education. Character traits of pediatric nurses determined how they cared for children with foreign backgrounds

Personal treatment in caring for people with eating disorders and the association with social media : a literature review
No full textBakgrund: Ätstörningar är ett växande problem som kan leda till dödsfall. Anledningen till ökningen kan bero på användning av sociala medier. Ätstörningar drabbar oftast unga kvinnor men förekommer hos män och kvinnor i olika åldrar. Det kan ta lång tid innan personer med ätstörningar söker vård på grund av bristande sjukdomsinsikt. De känner ofta skam och att ingen förstår dem. Primärvården är oftast den första kontakten med sjukvården och där bör symtomen upptäckas för att patienten ska få rätt vård. Det första mötet med vården kan vara avgörande för tillfrisknandet. Syfte: Att beskriva hur personer med ätstörning upplever bemötande från vårdpersonal inom hälso- och sjukvården samt att belysa sociala mediers inverkan på ätstörningar. Metod: En litteraturöversikt som är grundad på 17 artiklar. Resultat: God kunskap från vårdpersonalen gav tillit. Dömande som värderande kommentarer om utseende och vikt och förminskande bemötande upplevdes negativt, medan empati, medlidande och uppmuntring hjälpte. Det var viktigt att sjuksköterskor satte tydliga regler, men samtidigt var förstående och hade en öppen dialog. Det fanns ett samband mellan användning av sociala medier och ätstörningar. Bild- och videobaserade sociala medier var mest förknippade med ätstörningssymtom. Slutsats: Bra bemötande samt kunskap hos vårdpersonalen är avgörande för att personer med ätstörningar ska känna sig tryggare. Personer med hög användning av sociala medier kan ha en ökad risk att insjukna i ätstörningar
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
