Ethnobotanical and ethnomedicinal research into medicinal plants in the Mt Stara Planina region (south-eastern Serbia, Western Balkans)
BackgroundEthnobotanical research in Southeast Europe-one of the most important European hotspots for biocultural diversity-is significant for the acquisition of Traditional Ecological Knowledge related to plants as well as for encouraging the development of local environments. The current ethnobotanical research was conducted in the region of Mt Stara Planina (south-eastern Serbia), which is characterised by rich phytodiversity with a large numb…
Measuring the health impact of human rights violations related to Australian asylum policies and practices
BACKGROUND: Human rights violations have adverse consequences for health. However, to date, there remains little empirical evidence documenting this association, beyond the obvious physical and psychological effects of torture. The primary aim of this study was to investigate whether Australian asylum policies and practices, which arguably violate human rights, are associated with adverse health outcomes. METHODS: We designed a mixed methods stud…
Social policies and refugee resettlement
In this paper, we analyse national social policies that mediate the experiences of Iraqi refugees in Australia. Drawing on qualitative in-depth interviews conducted with this population in Melbourne, the capital of Victoria in Australia, and a small town in country Victoria, we delineate how social policies can lead to visible (formal) and invisible (informal) exclusion of refugees. We use two Australian policies; temporary protection and regiona…
Endurance and contest
Endometriosis is an often painful medical condition in which, in response to hormones associated with the menstrual cycle, the uterine lining grows in the peritoneum and other organs, bleeding into the surrounding organs and tissues. Diagnosis is not always straightforward, and women and health professionals alike may have difficulties recognizing period pain as a sign of anomaly, considering it instead as an inevitable part of menstruation. This…
Circuit Breaking
Pain resulting from endometriosis is experienced as both a chronic, ongoing condition and an acute episode at time of menstruation, often occurring in association with diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, heavy bleeding, and other reactions. Women expect pain with menstruation, however, and even if they experience major disruptions as a result, they find it difficult to distinguish normal from pathological discomfort. Drawing on qualitative research condu…
Family caregivers
In Australia, rapid population ageing, and government efforts to support people who are chronically ill, elderly or with disabilities to live in their own homes, has led to the primary responsibility of care being undertaken by families. Through its social policies, the Australian government provides income and other types of support to informal caregivers. This article explores how Australian social policy and women's understanding of their role…

Discourses of normality and difference
Researcher Saturation
Theoretically and methodologically sound qualitative research demands an extended period of fieldwork and the use of multiple methods to achieve data saturation and develop the grounded theory. Little is known about the experiences of researchers who conduct such studies. The authors explore these matters by drawing on their experiences of conducting a 3-year qualitative study with women about their gynecological cancer journey. Their fieldwork c…
Maternal Identity Change as a Consequence of Antenatal Hospitalization
Despite low fertility rates in Western countries, maternity remains one of the major goals of women from various socioeconomic backgrounds. While most women will have low-risk pregnancies, common serious disorders of pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, premature rupture of the membranes, placenta previa, or fetal growth restriction, may compromise maternal and infant outcomes. The experiences of urban and rural women in Australia who have had diffic…
Analyzing Qualitative Data
This article describes the process of writing up qualitative research and developing and testing a grounded theory. The article is based on data collected from in-depth interviews conducted in Australia with women with gynecological cancer. Thematic analysis of the data identified issues pertinent to women's experiences. The article describes the discovery of themes in women's stories and develops a grounded theory on women's health care experien…

Day Surgery in Australia
The article explores the experiences of patients undergoing day surgery in an Australian public hospital for women. We draw primarily on interviews with these patients to identify the factors arising from the specific context which compromised their well-being
Embodied Changes and the Search for Gynecological Cancer Diagnosis
The detection and successful treatment of cancers is dependent on timely presentation with abnormal and often subtle symptoms. In this article, we draw on research conducted with Australian immigrant women in 2001-02 who experienced delays in diagnosis of gynecological cancer. Data from in-depth interviews with women with gynecological cancer indicated a common trajectory of an "illness career," whereby the search for diagnosis was often painful …
He's telling us something
Drawing on in-depth interviews with patients and participant observation notes from a cancer support group and outpatients department, we analyse the experiences of Australian-born and immigrant women with gynaecological cancer to describe cancer diagnosis disclosures from the patients' perspectives and examine women's treatment decision-making. Data suggest that most women did not question the surgeon's recommendation and assumed a passive role …
The Health of Immigrant Women
Crossing National Boundaries
For both individuals and communities, crossing national boundaries involves managing personal and social identities in new social settings. This process is facilitated by social, cultural, and economic features of both the country of origin and the country of destination as well as the personal skills of the individuals who migrate. In-depth interviews with women in Australia from former Yugoslavia reveal how they draw ethnic boundaries and maint…

Nowhere is as at home
This paper analyses adjustment strategies of women from the former Yugoslav Republics who have settled in Australia since 1991. The majority of these recent immigrants have been humanitarian settlers and refugees, and this has had specific implications for their adjustment strategies. In-depth interviews were conducted during 1996-97 with 52 former Yugoslavian-born women who resided in southeast Queensland. The women's assessments of their decisi…
A Woman without a Man is a Woman at Risk
Understandings of risk, derived from UN guidelines on gender, have been used to develop a category of targeted immigration, whereby the emigration of women from difficult circumstances, particularly areas of war and/or flight, is expedited. In Australia, this and other special categories are used to accept single women and women with children whose partners have been killed or are missing. In the context of discussion of immigrant policy and prog…
