Addressing domestic violence in primary care: What the physician needs to know
No full textDomestic violence (DV) is quite prevalent and negatively impacts the health and mental wellbeing of those affected. Victims of DV are frequent users of health service, yet they are infrequently recognized. Physicians tend to treat the presenting complaints without addressing the root cause of the problem. Lack of knowledge on adequately managing cases of DV and on appropriate ways to help survivors is commonly presented as a barrier. This article presents the magnitude of the problem of DV in the Arab world, highlights the role of the primary care physician in addressing this problem, and provides practical steps that can guide the clinician in the Arab world in giving a comprehensive and culturally sensitive service to the survivors of DV. © 2014 Jinan Usta and Rim Taleb.Al-Nsour M, 2009, J FAM VIOLENCE, V24, P569, DOI 10.1007-s10896-009-9255-2; Ambuel B, 2003, J COMP FAM STUD, V34, P113; Ambuel B, 1998, J AGGRESS MALTREAT T, V1, P72; American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, SCREEN TOOLS DOM VIO; [Anonymous], PHYS OBL PREV ID TRE; [Anonymous], 2008, JORDAN POPULATION FA; [Anonymous], 2005, EGYPT DEMOGRAPHIC HL; [Anonymous], 2009, POPULATION REPORTS E; Basile K.

Attitudes towards domestic violence in Lebanon: A qualitative study of primary care practitioners
No full textBackground: Domestic violence (DV) is highly prevalent in the developing and developed world. Healthcare systems internationally are still not adequately addressing the needs of patients experiencing violence. Aim: To explore physicians' attitudes about responding to DV, their perception of the physician's role, and the factors that influence their response. Design and setting: Qualitative study using individual interviews among primary care practitioners working in Lebanon. Method: Primary care clinicians practising for 5 years and with 100 patient consultations a week were interviewed. Physicians were asked about their practice when encountering women disclosing abuse, their opinion about the engagement of the health services with DV, their potential role, and the anticipated reaction of patients and society to this extended role. Results: Physicians felt that they were well positioned to play a pivotal role in addressing DV; yet they had concerns related to personal safety, worry about losing patients, and opposing the norms of a largely conservative society. Several physicians justified DV or blamed the survivor rather than the perpetrator for triggering the violent behaviour. Moreover, religion was perceived as sanctioning DV. Conclusion: Perceived cultural norms and religious beliefs seem to be major barriers to physicians responding to DV in Lebanon, and possibly in the Arab world more generally. Financial concerns also need to be addressed to encourage physicians to address DV. ©British Journal of General Practice.Ahmed AM, 2003, SAUDI MED J, V24, P1077; Alkoot IM, 2010, ALEXANDRIA MED J, V46, P335; Al-Nsour M, 2009, J FAM VIOLENCE, V24, P569, DOI 10.1007-s10896-009-9255-2; Ambuel B, 2003, J COMP FAM STUD, V34, P113; [Anonymous], 2009, POPULATION REPORTS; Berger JT, 2008, ACAD MED, V83, P100; CHRISTAKIS NA, 1995, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V85, P367, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.85.3.367; Djikanovic B, 2010, PATIENT EDUC COUNS, V80, P88, DOI 10.1016-j.pec.2009.09.028; Easteal P W, 1992, Violence Vict, V7, P217; Elliott L, 2002, J GEN INTERN MED, V17, P112, DOI 10.1046-j.1525-1497.2002.10233.x; Feder G, 2013, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V310, P479, DOI 10.1001-jama.2013.167453; FERRIS LE, 1994, MED CARE, V32, P1163, DOI 10.1097-00005650-199412000-00001; Garcia-Moreno C, 2006, LANCET, V368, P1260, DOI 10.1016-S0140-6736(06)69523-8; Haj-Yahia MM, 2010, J INTERPERS VIOLENCE, V25, P416, DOI 10.1177-0886260509334408; Laisser RM, 2011, BMC WOMENS HEALTH, V11, DOI 10.1186-1472-6874-11-13; MacMillan HL, 2012, ANN INTERN MED, V157, P676, DOI 10.7326-0003-4819-157-9-201211060-00019; Maziak Wasim, 2003, Health Care Women Int, V24, P313; Murphy JC, 1995, FAMILY LAW Q, V39, P53; Nason-Clark N, 2004, J SCI STUD RELIG, V43, P303, DOI 10.1111-j.1468-5906.2004.00236.x; Obeid N, 2010, VIOLENCE AGAINST WOM, V16, P691, DOI 10.1177-1077801210370465; Office for National Statistics, 2014, INT PERS VIOL PARTN; Ramsay J, 2012, BRIT J GEN PRACT, V62, DOI 10.3399-bjgp12X654623; Reid SA, 1997, ACAD MED, V72, P51; Roelens K, 2006, BMC PUBLIC HEALTH, V6, DOI 10.1186-1471-2458-6-238; Schuler SR, 2011, STUD FAMILY PLANN, V42, P21, DOI 10.1111-j.1728-4465.2011.00261.x; Stockl H, 2013, LANCET, V382, P859, DOI 10.1016-S0140-6736(13)61030-2; SUGG NK, 1992, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V267, P3157, DOI 10.1001-jama.267.23.3157; Usta J, 2007, PUBLIC HEALTH, V121, P208, DOI 10.1016-j.puhe.2006.09.014; Usta J, 2012, ANN FAM MED, V10, P213, DOI 10.1370-afm.1336; Williamson KJ, 2004, SOUTH MED J, V97, P1049, DOI 10.1097-01.SMJ.0000136266.92364.B6; Yamawaki N, 2009, VIOLENCE AGAINST WOM, V15, P1126, DOI 10.1177-1077801209340758; Zakar R, 2011, HEALTH CARE WOMEN IN, V32, P811, DOI 10.1080-07399332.2011.5690420
Women, war, and violence: Surviving the experience
No full textObjectives: To investigate how Lebanese women were affected by the July 2006 conflict that erupted between the Hezbollah and the State of Israel, with a specific focus on their personal violence exposure and how they coped with these circumstances. Methods: Participants were 310 women at Ministry of Social Affairs Centers (MOSA) located in six geographic areas with varying exposure to the conflict. A questionnaire was administered in interview format to collect information about the participants' demographic characteristics, experiences of the conflict, perceived psychological functioning, exposure to violence associated with the conflict, exposure to domestic violence during and after the conflict, and their coping strategies. Results: Of the women, 89percent had to leave their homes during the conflict because of fear or worry about safety. Of the 310 participants, 39percent reported at least one encounter with violence perpetrated by soldiers, 27percent reported at least one incident of domestic abuse during the conflict, and 13percent reported at least one incident after the conflict perpetrated by their husbands or other family members. Women's self-reported negative mental health scores were positively correlated with the violence associated with the conflict and with domestic violence during and after the conflict. Women who reported that they did not know how to cope or had just tried to forget about their experiences reported more frequent domestic violence exposure during the conflict and had higher negative mental health outcomes associated with the conflict than did those who reported using active strategies. Conclusions: During armed conflict, domestic violence is also likely to increase. Therefore, when investigating the psychological impact of war on women, both forms of violence exposure should be considered. The use of active coping strategies may help in reducing psychological distress. © 2008 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.Abbott J, 1997, ANN EMERG MED, V29, P781, DOI 10.1016-S0196-0644(97)70200-2; Ajdukovic M, 1998, ADOLESCENCE, V33, P209; Araya M, 2007, SOC PSYCH PSYCH EPID, V42, P307, DOI 10.1007-s00127-007-0166-3; *ASS WID GEN AVEGA, 1999, HUM RIGHTS WATCH PUB; Avdibegovic E, 2006, CROAT MED J, V47, P730; Berg CA, 1998, INT J BEHAV DEV, V22, P239; Bleich Avraham, 2005, Am J Geriatr Psychiatry, V13, P705, DOI 10.1176-appi.ajgp.13.8.705; Bleich A, 2003, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V290, P612, DOI 10.1001-jama.290.5.612; Bleich A, 2006, BMC MED, V4, DOI 10.1186-1741-7015-4-21; BRYANT RA, 1995, BEHAV RES THER, V33, P631, DOI 10.1016-0005-7967(94)00093-Y; Burge S K, 1989, Fam Med, V21, P368; Bushman BJ, 2002, PERS SOC PSYCHOL B, V28, P724, DOI 10.1177-0146167202289002; CASCARDI M, 1992, ARCH INTERN MED, V152, P1178, DOI 10.1001-archinte.152.6.1178; Chen H, 2003, COMMUNITY MENT HLT J, V39, P157, DOI 10.1023-A:1022614821300; Coker AL, 2000, ARCH FAM MED, V9, P451, DOI 10.1001-archfami.9.5.451; DEJARLAIS, 1995, WORLD MENTAL HLTH PR; DEPOORTERE E, 2004, LANCET, V1315, P2003; Farhood L, 2006, J TRANSCULT NURS, V17, P333, DOI 10.1177-1043659606291549; FARHOOD L, 1993, SOC SCI MED, V36, P1555, DOI 10.1016-0277-9536(93)90344-4; FOLKMAN S, 1980, J HEALTH SOC BEHAV, V21, P219, DOI 10.2307-2136617; Folkman S, 2004, ANNU REV PSYCHOL, V55, P745, DOI 10.1146-annurev.psych.55.090902.141456; Frank JB, 1999, EMERG MED CLIN N AM, V17, P657, DOI 10.1016-S0733-8627(05)70089-4; Gohm CL, 2002, COGNITION EMOTION, V16, P495, DOI 10.1080-02699930143000374; Gross JJ, 1998, J PERS SOC PSYCHOL, V74, P170, DOI 10.1037-0022-3514.74.1.170; Hynes M, 2004, DISASTERS, V28, P294, DOI 10.1111-j.0361-3666.2004.00260.x; Igreja V, 2004, BRIT J PSYCHIAT, V184, P251, DOI 10.1192-bjp.184.3.251; Karam EG, 1998, EUR ARCH PSY CLIN N, V248, P225, DOI 10.1007-s004060050042; Karam EG, 2006, LANCET, V367, P1000, DOI 10.1016-S0140-6736(06)68427-4; KERIMOVA J, 2000, REPR HLTH RESP UNPUB; Kett Maria E, 2005, Med Confl Surviv, V21, P199, DOI 10.1080-13623690500166028; Kim G, 2007, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V97, P353, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.2005-073635; Kimhi S, 2006, WOMEN HEALTH, V43, P1, DOI 10.1300-J013v43n03_01; KING LA, 1991, EUR J PERSONALITY, V5, P131, DOI 10.1002-per.2410050206; Lazarus R.

Is there violence in the neighbourhood? Ask the children
No full textBackground: Community violence is a major public health concern. Much has been written about high intensity community violence such as wars or gang violence. However, chronic low intensity community violence is greatly overlooked. The objective of the following study is to assess how children living in neighbourhoods characterized by chronic low intensity violence perceive their environment. Methods: Children drew two pictures: one of their physical neighbourhoods and the other representing what goes on in the neighbourhoods. Each child also completed a neighbourhood safety survey. Results: The participants were four hundred and five children (213 girls; 192 boys) 8-12 years old (mean = 9.70; SD = 1.26) who lived in Beirut. 75 drawings contained violent incidents (fist fights and heated verbal arguments were most commonly depicted). 168 children mentioned people fighting or quarrelling in the streets but elected not to draw them. Children reported feeling unsafe and dissatisfaction with the quality of their neighbourhoods. Conclusion: Children living in chronic low intensity community violence may feel unsafe and distrustful of their environment but may perceive violent events as regular normal occurrence.

Larvicidal activity of essential oils extracted from commonly used herbs in Lebanon against the seaside mosquito, Ochlerotatus caspius
No full textThis study investigates the potential of essential oils from commonly used medical and culinary herbs in Lebanon as an environmentally safe measure to control the seaside mosquito, Ochlerotatus caspius. The composition of essential oils extracted from parsley seeds and leaves, alpine thyme inflorescences, anis seeds, and coriander fruits were analyzed by GC-MS, and the major components of these oils were found to be thymol, sabinene, carvacrol, anethole, and linalool, respectively. Mosquito larvicidal assays were conducted to evaluate the LC50 and LC90 after 24 and 48 h of the essential oils and their major constituents. All of the tested oils proved to have strong larvicidal activity (LC50: 15-156 ppm) against Oc. caspius fourth instars, with the most potent oil being thyme inflorescence extract, followed by parsley seed oil, aniseed oil, and then coriander fruit oil. Toxicity of each oil major constituent was also estimated and compared to a reported larvicidal compound, eugenol. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Lebanese medical students' exposure to domestic violence: Does it affect helping survivors?
No full textBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Our purpose was to assess medical students' willingness to help women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) and its relation to past exposure to violence. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of medical students enrolled in three major universities in Beirut was carried out: 545 students filled out a self-administered questionnaire. The Inventory of Beliefs About Wife Beating, the Attitudes Toward Women's scale, the Marriage Role Expectations Inventory, the Conflict Tactics scale, and the Trauma Symptoms scale were used. RESULTS: The majority (93.6percent) of medical students believed that battered wives should be helped by either social or governmental agencies, but only 48percent showed readiness to provide help themselves. Female medical students were significantly more likely to be willing to help survivors of violence, whereas students exposed to domestic violence in childhood were significantly less likely to do so. Female medical students previously exposed to violence had significantly higher scores on the Briere and Runtz's Trauma Symptom Checklist, indicating more negative trauma-related symptoms. Multivariate analysis revealed that the students' exposure to verbal aggression, their marital role expectations, attitudes toward women, and parents' marital status accounted for 26percent of the variability in the Helping Battered Wives score. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that the medical students' past exposure to DV impacts their psychological well-being and their willingness to help abuse survivors. Given the multitude of stresses medical students are exposed to, careful attention and attendance to the effect of abuse on their well-being may be warranted.Ambuel B, 2003, J COMP FAM STUD, V34, P113; AMBUEL B, 1997, J AGGRESSION MALTREA, V1, P55; Aneja Sonia, 2009, Med Health R I, V92, P307; Baig A, 2006, J GEN INTERN MED, V21, P949, DOI 10.1111-j.1525-1497.2006.00494.x; Bandura A., 1977, SOCIAL LEARNING THEO; Bertakis KD, 2009, PATIENT EDUC COUNS, V76, P356, DOI 10.1016-j.pec.2009.07.022; Bonds Denise E, 2007, N C Med J, V68, P23; Briere J., 1989, J INTERPERS VIOLENCE, V4, P151, DOI 10.1177-088626089004002002; Cullinane PM, 1997, ACAD MED, V72, P48; Diop-Sidibe N, 2006, SOC SCI MED, V62, P1260, DOI 10.1016-j.socscimed.2005.07.022; Douki S, 2003, ARCH WOMEN MENT HLTH, V6, P165; Dunn M, 1979, TEACHERS COUNSELORS; Dyrbye LN, 2005, MAYO CLIN PROC, V80, P1613; Ellsberg M, 2008, LANCET, V371, P1165, DOI 10.1016-S0140-6736(08)60522-X; El-Zanaty F., 1996, EGYPT DEMOGRAPHIC HL; Garcia-Moreno C, 2006, LANCET, V368, P1260, DOI 10.1016-S0140-6736(06)69523-8; Haj-Yahia M.

Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
