Threading the Needle: Online Modest Apparel Forums and Physical Activity for Women with Religious-Based Modesty Preferences
Disability, Participation and Apparel throughout the Life Course
There are a growing number of people living with disabilities (PLWD) throughout the life course and across the disability spectrum. While much attention has been paid to environmental barriers to social participation for PLWD, apparel-related barriers have been largely overlooked. We conducted an online survey of 110 PLWD to identify challenges to finding appropriate clothing and related concerns regarding social participation for members of diff…

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a lifelong debilitating condition that presents numerous challenges to social participation. The challenge of finding suitable and functional clothing while living with SCI is one of the frequently overlooked factors hindering attempts at meaningful engagement in social and community life. Two case studies were collected over a period of 4 months through a qualitative interview. Both participants were aging with, and l…
The art of resilience: Photo-stories of inspiration and strength among people with HIV/Aids
Using the visual arts to aid healing is a common therapy for people with critical illness, yet the use of art to improve the lives of people with HIV is under-utilized. Eight male and 20 female participants living with HIV in urban areas of the Midwest, U.S. participated in three group photovoice photo-sharing and discussion sessions, post-project individual interviews and a community photo exhibit. We used a grounded theory approach to analyze i…
Disability, the Senses and Apparel: Design Considerations
Sensory experiences are an important but infrequently explored aspect of clothing and apparel for people living with disabilities. Clothing serves as a type of ‘gate keeper’ to the social realm, especially for people living with disabilities. Newly emerging inclusive design approaches are increasingly addressing issues of accessibility and adaptability in the built environment, and these design approaches can and should be applied to clothing and…

The Unsuspecting CAM User: Cancer patients and the changing nature of holistic health
The number of cancer patients using complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the United States is growing, yet little is known about the meaning these activities have for users. Current literature supports the assumption that stigma surrounding CAM and holistic health practices are responsible for the reluctance of many cancer patients to self-identify as CAM users. This study explored the frequency of use, and familiarity with CAM among 2…

Osteoarthritis and Social Embarrassment: Risk, Pain, and Avoidance
Musculoskeletal pain from osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent concern for older adults. Despite recommendations from providers to be physically active, some people with OA fear physical activity and must decide whether it is safe or harmful to undertake physical activity. In this article, we examined the narratives of 10 people living with OA knee pain and the roles that pain and embarrassment played in their activity-related behavior. When asked …
The Snog and Grog Club: Social Personhood in Hospice Care
The popularity of British hospice day care signals the expanding boundaries of palliative care beyond end-stage illness. In this article, I examine the ways hospice philosophy was interpreted and implemented in an outpatient day therapy setting run by a multidisciplinary team of health professionals. Findings suggest that hospice day care staff members used several strategies to help patients cope and retain a sense of personhood while facing num…

The purpose of this study is to learn about the relationship between participation in an integrative medicine program and the impact upon the social identities of seven individuals with cancer. Data were collected via semi-structured, face-to-face interviews and observations in the clinic space, and analyzed using a constant comparison method. All of the participants reported a change in their social identities as they transitioned between illnes…
Examining the Needs of Bereaved Parents in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit: A Qualitative Study
The pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is a high-tech setting aimed at restoring health to critically ill children. When childhood death occurs in the PICU, it constitutes a special context for parent bereavement. The purpose of this interdisciplinary qualitative research was to gain a deeper understanding of parents' needs around the time of their child's death in the PICU. Through interviews and focus groups with bereaved parents and hospital…
The Making of Ritual Specialists: What Cultural Anthropologists can Contribute to Educating Funeral Service Practitioners
For the past five decades, anthropologists have taught health practitioners about how our discipline studies and addresses health-related issues. Important curricular reforms in the education of health professionals in the late 1960's and early 1970's greatly expanded such teaching roles for social scientists (Chrisman and Johnson, 1996). While anthropological teaching of certain types of health practitioners such as physicians and nurses are wel…
Implementing a Triangulation Protocol in Bereavement Research: A Methodological Discussion
Triangulation is a comparative strategy for examining data that strengthens qualitative and multi-method research. Despite the benefits of triangulation noted in the research methods literature, few concrete models for operationalization of protocols exist. Lack of documentation of explicit triangulation procedures is especially true in the area of bereavement research. This article describes how an interdisciplinary research team implemented a t…

Images of self and spinal cord injury: Exploring drawing as a visual method in disability research
This article describes the use of drawings in a research project aimed at understanding the personal experience of spinal cord injury. The article briefly reviews the use of visual methods in disability research, and then describes the specific procedures used to elicit and analyze two sets of drawings: 'draw your self' and 'draw how you see spinal cord injury in your mind'. The drawings were a small but essential part of a larger study focused o…
