READING AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF HELEN KELLER’S THE STORY OF MY LIFE
No full textMembaca autobiografi adalah membaca suatu peristiwa, memori dan kenangan yang dituliskan oleh pengarang tentang dirinya sendiri. Persitiwa- peristiwa tersebut lebih banyak mengabarkan tentang sebuah kebenaran subjektif daripada fakta yang sebenarnya. Itu dikarenakan pengarang sebagai subjek yang membaca masa lalunya menjadi tokoh utama dalam autobiografi. Hal ini dapat dikaji dan dibuktikan melalui beberapa aspek di dalam autobiografi.
Ruang lingkup dari tulisan ini adalah bagaimana narrator dalam menarasikan cerita dapat membangun wacana dan berbicara langsung dengan narratee. Pengalaman- pengalaman yang diceritakan oleh narrator, identitas yang ditampilkan dan juga peran editor di dalam pembuatan autobiografi. Adapun tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah untuk mengimplementasikan teori Reading Autobiography yang digunakan untuk menganalisis The Story of My Life yang merupakan autobiografi dari Helen Keller.
Metode yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah metode penelitian kepustakaan dan metode pendekatan teori membaca autobiografi. Metode yang pertama digunakan untuk mengumpul data dan informasi dari sumber-sumber kepustakaan yang mendukung pembahasan. Metode yang kedua digunakan sebagai acuan utama dalam menganalisis aspek yang dominan dalam autobiografi.
Hasil dari analisis menunjukkan bahwa teknik penceritaan yang digunakan oleh pengarang sangat mengesankan, baik dalam segi penceritaan “aku”, ideologi maupun konsep yang dimiliki banyak memproyeksikan tokoh sebagai tokoh yang sempurna secara fisik. Begitu juga pengalaman yang dialami tokoh sengaja dipilihkan pengalaman yang istimewa
Selain itu, identitas yang ditampilkan oleh pengarang bertujuan mengkonstruksikan kesan dirinya seabagai pribadi yang baik kepada pembaca. Di samping itu, adanya peran John Macy sebagai editor di dalam pembuatan autobiografi adalah untuk kepentingan sosial. Hal ini dikarenakan John Macy membantu memproyeksikan Helen Keller sebagai tokoh utama yang hampir sempurna walau dengan keterbatasan fisik. Dia juga mampu membantu Helen dalam mengklarifikasi isu negatif yang berkembang pada masa itu

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. It helps other people discover us. Thanks for listening, and here is Mary Helen McSweeney-Feld

Assessing wound measurement within a high-risk foot ulcer clinic for people with diabetes - clinical and patient perspectives
No full textIntroduction
Around a third of people with diabetes will develop a foot ulcer requiring specialist podiatry treatment during their lifetime. The formation of a foot ulcer for people with diabetes is a consequence of chronic hyperglycaemia, which causes poor wound healing and damage to nerves and blood vessels. This study has two aims. The first was to describe wound healing trajectories from baseline (Day 0), to wound closure, for wounds that had healed within six months. Our hypothesis was that a clinical marker exists, such as a certain time point along the wound healing trajectory, which is associated with subsequent rapid healing. The second aim was to understand patient perceptions associated with wound images and how discussion about images might optimise self-care, as few studies have explored this aspect of clinical care. Images undertaken as part of routine clinical care, enables patients to visualise their foot ulcers, maybe for the first time. Both patient and podiatrist can jointly view the current foot ulcer image on a computer screen and compare this with an earlier electronic image, to gauge wound healing progression. These images thus have the potential to provide a communication medium for facilitating patient self-management discussions.
Methods
This study consisted of two parts. Part 1 included an exploratory retrospective analysis of wound healing as measured by surface area metrics, from 103 individual patients who had attended the high-risk foot ulcer clinic over the previous three years.
Part 2 focused on descriptive qualitative research of semi-structured interviews of patients attending the high-risk foot ulcer clinic, studying their perceptions of wound imaging, including clinical utility, during routine clinic appointments. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed, thereby allowing thematic analysis of participant responses and identification of themes.
Results and findings
Part 1 results determined wound healing trajectories for the 103 individual patient wounds, showed no identifiable time point, after which there would be no deterioration in wound healing. A greater than 50% reduction in wound surface area at four weeks has previously been described as a marker of wound healing success, however only 61.2% of healed wounds in this study met this parameter.
Analysis of 31 patient interviews for Part 2 described participants’ positive reactions to being able to visualise and discuss their wound images. This visualisation and discussion led to valuable insights and enhanced understanding of clinical aspects of wound healing. Patient engagement increased with the self-care advice around wound healing, provided by the podiatrists and other specialist clinicians. Patients also considered that these discussions positively impacted on their health literacy.
Conclusion
The study showed that sharing and discussing wound images helps advance patient education and understanding. In doing so, the patient can feel more included in their care and more likely to participate in self-care. The study also shows that real-world wound healing trajectories do not provide the podiatrist or patient with certainty around length of time needed to complete wound healing, thus it can be difficult to answer the patient’s question “when will my wound fully heal”. In conclusion, in-clinic discussions of wound images can enhance wound healing opportunities

Evaluation as adventure: taking that risk
No full textHelen Simons traces the values that underpin her preferred methodology of case study and democratic evaluation to the central values she gained from the land of her birth. She looks back to consider what early experiences may have influenced her deep commitment to these values and how they impacted on her professional world as a teacher, a psychologist, and an evaluator. Her interview transcript which was a stimulus for this article is here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/wol1/doi/10.1002/ev.20302/suppinfo. Read only.
