Women's experiences of cervical cellular changes
Cervical cancer screening is a preventive intervention directed towards women to both detect cervical cancer and identify those at risk for developing this disease. It has been argued that participation in screening programmes and early detection situations may lead to new kinds of sickness experiences. This article is based on qualitative phenomenological hermeneutical analysis of interviews with women who have received abnormal Pap smear test r…
The messenger's dilemmas - giving and getting information in genealogical mapping for hereditary cancer
Recent advances in genetic research can provide constructive preventive possibilities for individuals and society but also provide physicians and laypersons with new problems. For instance, in consultations dealing with the risk of getting hereditary cancer, physicians have to balance between the role of clinician, attending to the needs of a certain individual, and the role of researcher, collecting vital data for important research. Individuals…
Expert Talk in Medical Contexts
In medical contexts, parties often have reasons to focus on risks: risks of developing diseases or of having children with congenital diseases, risks involved in taking drugs or in using a particular type of therapy, and so forth. In such risk-implicative contexts, doctors and nurses deal with the risk topics sometimes directly, at other times quite indirectly. In this article, we discuss results from studying 5 different health care contexts. We…
Normality, risk and the future
In the practice of health surveillance, health professionals have to cope with the task of communicating outcomes of tests and measurements, as well as counselling individuals about present and future threats to their own or their children's health. Research in this field has shed some light on the 'language of risk' and its implications for how the individual understands and deals with health in everyday life. Here, we want to further this explo…
From a lived body to a medicalized body
This paper addresses the diagnostic dilemma posed by chronic illness that offers no demonstrable evidence of serious physical disorders or pathology. Is a diagnosis such as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) disabling because it encourages people to identify with it? Does it become a self-fulfilling prophecy? In providing people with a name, and thus allowing them to confirm the legitimacy of their suffering, a diagnosis of CFS may help them to relat…
Research on Risk and Risk in Research
This article describes a qualitative research project on secondary cancer prevention that was conducted using a multidisciplinary team and that was inspired by perspectives from feminist research and fourth-generation evaluation. A screening program for cervical cancer was investigated from the perspective of different stakeholders through a series of substudies using a variety of qualitative approaches, in order to have a broad basis for conside…
The Diagnostic Process and the Boundaries of Normality
This article illustrates a group of cancer patients' descriptions and explanations of their experiences of health care encounters involving professional and lay processes of diagnosis related to definitions of normality. An interdisciplinary approach, representing nursing and medical anthropology, has been used in attempting to better understand data derived from semistructured interviews with 46 persons diagnosed with cancer in the greater Stock…
Suffering, hope and diagnosis
The medical interview has a central place in the transformation of suffering into disease. The focus in this article is on patients with suspected chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Central to the diagnosis of CFS is the absence of a clear medical pathology causing symptoms. To patients it is of central importance to present themselves in the medical interview in a way that makes a diagnosis of CFS possible, which provides both hope for a cure and a…

Causality, responsibility and blame - core issues in the cultural construction and subtext of prevention
It is suggested that preventive thinking is founded in part on perceptions of causal connections, responsibility and blame. The perceived ability of health care and the individual to take active steps towards keeping the body healthy is incorporated in the preventive message. It would be wrong to suppose that these messages amount to a morally neutral description of an objective reality. Descriptions of causal relationships, be they by individual…

Fertility and birth in an unfamiliar environment
This study examines the fertility and birth behavior of immigrant women from Kulu Turkey in a different socioeconomic environment in Sweden. It concentrates on the encounter between Swedish health care institutions and immigrant women from Kulu in the context of pregnancy and birth which is considered as a cultural phenomenon. The women from Kulu have been accustomed to children being born at home. The women have given birth on their own territor…
