Social networks, health and identity
There are generational and age-based differences in how members use locations to access and develop social support for particular lifestyle choices. The pursuit of a healthier lifestyle varies across the diverse migrant community, determined by social hierarchies and socio-cultural factors. Living close to similar others can limit exposure to novel lifestyle choices and efforts need to be made to promote wider integration between communities and …
If there were doctors who could understand our problems, I would already be better
How people in community settings describe their experience of disappointing health care, and their responses to such dissatisfaction, sheds light on the role of marginalisation and underlines the need for radically responsive service provision. Making the case for studying unprompted accounts of dissatisfaction with healthcare provision, this is an original analysis of 71 semi-structured interviews with healthcare users in superdiverse neighbourh…
A qualitative insight into informal childcare and childhood obesity in children aged 0–5 years in the UK
This exploratory qualitative study provided novel insights into potential explanations for the evidenced link between informal care and childhood obesity in children aged 0-5 years, despite a small size and limited participants in each focus group. Our findings support the idea of and inform the development towards an information based and low-cost intervention delivered through existing primary care platforms
How Do People With COPD Value Different Activities? An Adapted Meta-Ethnography of Qualitative Research
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-term condition where activities of daily living (ADLs) may be very restricted; people with COPD need to prioritize what is important to them. We conducted a meta-ethnography to understand which ADLs are valued and why, systematically searching for articles including experiences of ADLs and organizing themes from the articles into five linked concepts: (a) caring for the body, (b) caring for t…
Illness as Narrative
They're Made in Factories and Not by Witches on the Allotment”
This article explores midlife women's experiences and approaches related to complementary and alternative therapies (CAMS). Ninety-six midlife women were asked about their use of CAMs as part of their overall approach to midlife health. Qualitative thematic analysis was combined with a case-based approach. Women set their experience of CAMs in the context of conventional medicine taking and discussed their safety and different uses. For treatment…
The family is part of the treatment really
Clinicians are increasingly asking questions about family history to inform decision making, but the quality of decisions rests on the quality of information provided by the patient. In families with genetically transmitted diseases, research has found a strong collective understanding of inheritance and risk, developed through constant communication between family members. Here, we explore whether there are similar processes in families with mor…
Developing Evidence for How to Tailor Medical Interventions for the Individual Patient
We aim to answer the question: How can we develop an evidence base that will assist tailoring health interventions to individual patients? Using social theory and interview data from people living with chronic illness, we developed a new approach to analysis. Individuals were considered as emergent complex systems, adjusting and adapting within their environment and sometimes transforming. The notion of illness trajectory brought our attention to…
Family health narratives
Perceptions of vulnerability to illness are strongly influenced by the salience given to personal experience of illness in the family. This article proposes that this salience is created through autobiographical narrative, both as individual life story and collectively shaped family history. The article focuses on responses related to health in the family drawn from semi-structured interviews with women in a qualitative study exploring midlife wo…
The influence of patient and doctor gender on diagnosing coronary heart disease
Using novel methods, this paper explores sources of uncertainty and gender bias in primary care doctors' diagnostic decision-making about coronary heart disease (CHD). Claims about gendered consultation styles and quality of care are re-examined, along with the adequacy of CHD models for women. Randomly selected doctors in the UK and the US (n = 112, 56 per country, stratified by gender) were shown standardised videotaped vignettes of actors port…
Assessment of the benefits of user involvement in health research from the Warwick Diabetes Care Research User Group
Objective To assess the benefits of involving health‐care users in diabetes research. Design and participants For this qualitative case study, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with researchers who had worked extensively with the group. During regular meetings of the Research User Group, members discussed their views of the group’s effectiveness as part of the meeting’s agenda. Interviews and discussions were transcribed, coded using N‐Vi…
‘Lesbian Appetites’
Food and its emotional and political significance pervades autobiographical writing by lesbians. This article traces the connections between food, sexuality and identity through four exemplary texts - Jeanette Winterson’s Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Audre Lorde’s Zami, Dorothy Allison’s ‘A Lesbian Appetite’ and Anna Livia’s ‘Tongues or Fingers’ - where food is crucial in both defining and contesting lesbian identity, sexuality and community. …

I am Prince Jussuf
1. Life, or Theatre? "Prince Jussuf" and Else Lasker-Schüler Suddenly the lights went out, and Else Lasker-Schüler stepped out onto the stage. She wore a robe made of blue silk. Loose-fitting trousers, silver shoes, a kind of baggy jacket, her hair was like silk, pitch black. . . . Jussuf was all woman, so beautiful, sensual. . . . But her words were hard, crystal clear. They glowed like metal. (Herzfelde 1307) In this passage, Wieland Herzfelde …
Postmodern Concepts of the Body in Jeanette Winterson's Written on the Body
This article is concerned with Jeanette Winterson's use and reworking of post-modern concepts of the body in her novel Written on the Body. Feminist appropriations of those concepts can be problematic: they tend to focus on the way in which a coherent body image is constructed and then imposed on the body parts, whereas many feminist theorists continue to emphasize the wholeness and integrity of the female body. Written on the Body offers constru…
