Coping Strategies of Older Rural Bangladeshi Women With Health Problems
In this study we explore the strategies used by older women to cope with their ill health, in order to provide insight into how they might be drawn to use modern health services. We used qualitative methods to collect data from 17 older women living in Bibirchar Union, Sherpur District, Bangladesh. Participants reported that they utilized both emotion-focused and problem-focused strategies, and that many of these were faith-based. Health policyma…
Improving Access to Government Health Care in Rural Bangladesh: The Voice of Older Adult Women
Our purpose in this study was to provide an in-depth understanding of the health-system-related barriers to utilization of health services by older women living in rural Bangladesh. Interviews were conducted with 17 women in Bibirchar Union, Sherpur district, Bangladesh, in June 2006. Three main barriers were identified: perceived discrimination based on age, class, and gender; structural aspects of the health care delivery system; and quality of…
A Socially Excluded Space: Restrictions on Access to Health Care for Older Women in Rural Bangladesh
This study was an exploration of the experiences of 17 women, age 60 or more years, from Bangladesh. The women were asked about decision-making processes with respect to their access to health care and whether they perceived that there were differences based on age and sex in the way a household responds to an illness episode. The overall theme that characterized their experiences was "being in a socially excluded space." The themes that explaine…

Developing Theory From Complexity: Reflections on a Collaborative Mixed Method Participatory Action Research Study
Research studies are increasingly complex: They draw on multiple methods to gather data, generate both qualitative and quantitative data, and frequently represent the perspectives of more than one stakeholder. The teams that generate them are increasingly multidisciplinary. A commitment to engaging community members in the research process often adds a further layer of complexity. How to approach a synthesizing analysis of these multiple and vari…
From Death Notification Through the Funeral: Bereaved Parents' Experiences and Their Advice to Professionals
Parents who experience the sudden death of a child will interact with many professionals in the period immediately following the death notification through to the funeral. The way these professionals respond to the parents during this critical period may be perceived as helpful, and thus support them in beginning the process of managing the trauma and starting a healthy grieving process. It may also be perceived as unhelpful, though, and contribu…

Ethnic and Racial Identity of Internationally Adopted Adolescents and Young Adults: Some Issues in Relation to Children's Rights
Results of studies to determine how well children who have been adopted internationally have adjusted consistently raise a concern about identity issues. This paper reports the results of interviews about their sense of racial and ethnic identity with 155 adolescent and young adults who were adopted internationally in Canada during the 1970s and 1980s. The findings are discussed in relation to the rights conferred on these children through the U.…

Stages in Social Planning
Considerable attention has been given to the programming or implementation stage of the social planning model in the literature over the past ten years. In spite of this attention, conceptual confusion remains about which tasks collectively constitute this planning stage. This article suggests that part of the confusion is the result of conceptualizing as one grouping of activities what are in fact three distinct planning tasks-program design, pr…
