‘There is no choice apart from antibiotics…’
BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a health risk as it can lead to life-threatening infections. There has been a rise in resistant urinary tract infections (UTIs) which is the most common infection in pregnancy. This can be challenging in pregnancy due to the additional need to safeguard foetal development. The study's aim was to explore views about AMR in women who experienced UTIs in pregnancy. DESIGN: Fifteen semi-structured intervi…
The impact of severe asthma on patients’ autonomy

Expressionists of the Twenty-First Century
Breast milk expression has been promoted as liberating for women and as offering them more choices, but there has been little research on women's experiences of it and even less critical commentary on the consequences of its incorporation into mainstream behavior. Drawing on narratives of women in the United Kingdom about breastfeeding, we explore the increasingly popular practice of expressing and feeding expressed breast milk. We argue that bre…
Calling, Permission, and Fulfillment
Drawing on examples from in-depth interviews with 49 women, in this article we aim to open up a discursive space for women and health professionals to begin to explore the phenomenon of the interembodied experience of breastfeeding. Although acknowledging that social dimensions partially constitute the lived body, we further the view that the lived body's understanding is embedded in contexts far more complex than those that can be represented by…

Depressive symptoms as a link between barriers to care and sexual risk behavior of HIV-infected individuals living in non-urban areas
HIV-infected individuals living in non-urban areas have been proposed to be particularly vulnerable for sexual risk behavior because of barriers to adequate care. The current study examined the association of barriers to care and sexual risk behavior with a focus on depressive symptoms as a link between the two variables. One-hundred-and-one sexually active HIV-infected individuals living in non-urban areas in New England participated by completi…

Reflexivity and the development of process knowledge in social work
The relationship between knowledge and practice has been a long standing issue for social work. This is, in part, because, despite the strong intuitive appeal of a position which emphasises the importance of knowledge, this has yet to be established through research. Part of the problem lies with different epistemological positions, and the consequent differences in the examination of knowledge application. Recently, however, there has been a gro…
Association between condom use and HIV infection
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare the association between different measures of condom use and prevalent HIV infection. DESIGN: Randomised cross sectional study to assess association between HIV infection and different measures of self reported condom use. Female sex workers were randomised to one of five different face to face questionnaires on condom use. Three questionnaires used always to never scales to measure use but differed in the reference pe…
