Social poetics as processual engagement: Making visible what matters in social suffering
Social and cultural poetics take us beyond language to an embodied sensibility. To explore the relevance of social poetics in medical training, this article uses as an exemplar an innovative program in geriatrics in a residency program in primary care. The program began with a series of meetings in which medical residents consulted community elders invited for their advice and wisdom on healthcare dilemmas as Senior Faculty, effectively becoming …
Uterine fibroid: A socially malignant illness in Haiti
This qualitative study documented the effects of uterine fibroids on the suffering of women in Haiti. It makes a unique contribution by re-socializing this disease, by making visible the social inequalities and what is at stake for the women, for their families, and for healthcare delivery. Uterine fibroid is a benign tumor of the uterus, common in gynecology, but profoundly malignant in how it affects women's lives. Little has been reported on t…
Assessing burden, risk factors, and perceived impact of uterine fibroids on women’s lives in rural Haiti: Implications for advancing a health equity agenda, a mixed methods study
A vicious cycle of poverty negatively impacts access to care for uterine fibroids in Haiti. Health insurance, social support, and income generating activities may be keys to promote social justice through access to adequate care for women with uterine fibroids in Haiti
Barriers and facilitators influencing facility-based childbirth in rural Haiti: A mixed method study with a convergent design

METHODS: We conducted secondary analyses of a prospective cohort of pregnant…
The Perspectives of Young Women in Rural Western Kenya on Unconditional Cash Transfers: Women's Perspectives on UCTs
Unconditional cash transfers (UCTs) provide money to eligible individuals, without dictating how they spend the money or tasks they must do to receive it. This study explored how UCTs affected the lives of young, impoverished women in rural western Kenya. Qualitative methods were used, including in-depth interviews with 30 women: 10 receiving $1,000, 10 receiving $500, and 10 not receiving a UCT. UCTs were positively viewed by interviewees, and h…
How patients and clinicians make meaning of physical suffering in mental health evaluations
Clinicians in community mental health settings frequently evaluate individuals suffering from physical health problems. How patients make meaning of such "comorbidity" can affect mental health in ways that may be influenced by cultural expectations and by the responses of clinicians, with implications for delivering culturally sensitive care. A sample of 30 adult mental health intakes exemplifying physical illness assessment was identified from a…
The clinical encounter as local moral world: Shifts of assumptions and transformation in relational context
Close encounters: Exemplars of Process-Oriented Qualitative Research in Health Care
Qualitative and quantitative research approaches reflect different 'world views' and raise different questions for inquiry. In this article, we map several prominent features of the landscape of qualitative research by presenting a range of research exemplars in the fields of medicine and health care that focus on process, that is, on 'What's going on?'. We include studies of: clinical encounters between patients and health care providers; patien…
