Women’s and healthcare professionals’ experiences of gynaecological examinations in Taiwan
Research has identified various drivers that have resulted in the over-medicalisation of pregnancy monitoring and birthing practices in Taiwan. Other women's health concerns beyond reproduction, however, remain under studied. To address this gap, this study explored women's and healthcare professionals' experiences and perceptions of gynaecological care at Taiwanese healthcare facilities. Interviews were conducted with gynaecologists, obstetrics …
The mediating role of coping styles in the relationship between fear of Covid-19 and mental health problems
Fear of being infected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) could trigger mental health problems among nurses at the frontline. In such a situation, coping strategies are needed to deal with the imminent threat. The purpose of this study was to test the mediating effects of coping on relationships of fear of COVID-19 with anxiety, depression and post-traumatic syndrome among nurses who were in contact with COVID-19 patients. A cross-sectional a…
Modern, Empowered, but Stigmatized
Menstrual products have long shaped how women manage their menstruating bodies and how menstruation is socially constructed. Historically, these products have simultaneously promoted messages of shame-menstruation is dirty and requires concealment-and modernity or have linked their use to overcoming the constraints of menstruation to become modern and liberated. In this article, which analyzes the websites of companies that produce menstrual cups…
Exploring the Multiplicity of Embodied Agency in Colombian Assisted Reproduction
Analyses of assisted reproductive technologies have demonstrated how objectification and agency can coexist in infertility centres. How objectification creates opportunities for empowerment, however, has not yet been explored. In analysing women's narratives of assisted conception in Colombian infertility clinics, I demonstrate the complexity in women's embodied experiences of various objectifying stages of assisted conception and argue that thei…
Doctors as moral pioneers
New biotechnologies such as assisted conception are socially embedded artefacts that raise context-specific ethical, moral and social anxieties. In contexts where the regulations of these profitable developments are limited or ambiguous, and competition between private facilities is high, individual doctors become morally and socially responsible for determining the parameters of administering such therapies. Ethnographic research at two private …
Professionalism lapses and hierarchies
The Familial and the Familiar
In this article, I explore how women undergoing in vitro fertilization with familial or anonymous egg donors located relatedness with a donor-conceived child through familial and social identities. Recognizing gametes as substances that contain biological and sociocultural/behavioral traits shaped women's narratives around interconnected notions of the familial and familiar, or the social understanding of biological and social inheritance, and kn…
Antecedents and Consequences of Medical Students' Moral Decision Making during Professionalism Dilemmas
Medical students often experience professionalism dilemmas (which differ from ethical dilemmas) wherein students sometimes witness and/or participate in patient safety, dignity, and consent lapses. When faced with such dilemmas, students make moral decisions. If students' action (or inaction) runs counter to their perceived moral values-often due to organizational constraints or power hierarchies-they can suffer moral distress, burnout, or a desi…
