Older People, Loss, and Loneliness: The Troublesome Nature of Increased Contact With Adult Children
Older people may experience considerable loss when they endure emotional or social loneliness. Emotional loneliness is related to the loss or absence of a confidant while social loneliness describes the discrepancy between the nature of one’s desired and actual social network. In this article, both concepts are examined in relation to new attendees at time-limited day center reablement programs in Northern Ireland. Using group work activities, re…
Women’s Lived Experience of Embodied Disenfranchised Grief: Loss, Betrayal, and the Double Jeopardy
The experience of disenfranchised grief has many twists and turns. This is particularly the case in situations that have external cause for celebration, but, in fact, contain internal loss, embodied betrayal, and double jeopardy. Focusing on a significant embodied experience, that of pregnancy after a previous pregnancy loss, we suggest that the lived experience can be vastly different from the normative experiences of joy, celebration, and “movi…
The New Informational Paradigm: Developing Practice-Led Approaches to the Use of Mobile ICT in Social Work
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has profound impacts on society as people integrate technology into their lives. Social work is similarly influenced by ICT as workplaces, individual practitioners and clients adopt new forms of technology and this has prompted an increasing focus on the implications of technology on all aspects of professional practice. Drawing on the work of Spanish sociologist Manuel Castells as its theoretical fo…
Cocreation or Collusion: The Dark Side of Consumer Narrative in Qualitative Health Research
Health, mental health, and social care policy are dominated by the imperative of employing person-centered approaches. Such involvement of the “consumer” is generally claimed to provide a counter-narrative to the psychiatric and medical paradigm of illness. Taking a critical and reflexive standpoint, we find ourselves asking: Is there a dark side to employing person-centered approaches and potential loss and risk to participants themselves? To ex…
Being-in-the-World of the Sociological Imagination
This chapter suggests that there are important synergies that, together, could offer a rich and nuanced sociological perspective and make applicable both C. Wright Mills&s; sociological imagination and Martin Heidegger&s;s Being-in-the-World. It combines both Mills&s; sociological and Heidegger&s;s philosophical ways of seeing the world, with the aim of exploring the lived experience of people living with and beyond cancer (PLWBCs). The chapter c…
The supportive network: Rural disadvantaged older people and ICT
The rapid development of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) is profoundly transforming the social order, into what Spanish sociologist Manuel Castells calls the network society . Mobile technologies, such as smartphones and tablet computers, are perhaps the definitive tools of the network society; however, cultural and economic barriers exist that restrict access to these transformative tools and to the information networks in whic…
Reimagining the Relationship between Social Work and Information Communication Technology in the Network Society
Australia is experiencing a period of immense cultural change predicated on the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). New devices such as smartphones, tablet computers, and the social iterations of the internet are impacting on communication patterns and contributing to the merging of people's online and offline lives. Using Spanish sociologist Manuel Castells's theory of the Network Society as a theoretical foundation, this issu…
South East Asian migrant experiences in regional Victoria: Exploring well-being
This article outlines a recent pilot project in Bendigo that collected baseline data in order to develop a preliminary understanding of regional migration experiences. The literature indicated that migrant experiences in Australian regional communities are under-researched. Sixty participants from South East Asia, who have migrated to Bendigo, Victoria within the last five years, completed a mixed-methods survey. The key findings reported upon ar…
Developing critically reflective practice
Reflective practice has become an influential concept in various forms of professional education, for example, in nursing and social work. However, there has been a common tendency for it to be oversimplified in practice, and, furthermore, dominant understandings of reflective practice can themselves be criticised for lacking theoretical sophistication in some respects – particularly in relation to the social and political dimensions of learning …
Reflective practice: An existentialist perspective
There has been an increasing interest in reflective practice in recent years, but the theory base underpinning it remains relatively underdeveloped. We have seen a move away from essentialist ‘technicalism’ to a more constructivist exploratory approach consistent with existentialist philosophy. This paper therefore explores how existentialism can be used as a more sophisticated and wide‐ranging theory base to underpin the future development of re…
Do general practitioners overestimate the health of their patients with lower education
P61 Could disagreement between doctors and patients on evaluating patient's health contribute to worsening health inequalities? The Intermede study
Objective To determine whether disagreement between doctors and patients may be linked to the production of health inequalities. Methods INTERMEDE is a multidisciplinary study of doctor/patient interaction. These results are from the quantitative cross-sectional phase. 27 GPs located in Paris, Nantes and Toulouse volunteered to participate in the study. 585 eligible patients were included after being approached in the GP's waiting room. Pre-consu…
Space, Place, and Psychosocial Well-Being: Women's Experience of Breast Cancer at an Environmental Retreat
Psychosocial oncology research has highlighted the complex experience of living with cancer, encompassing personal and emotional, as well as family, social and community experiences. This article seeks to extend the concept of “psychosocial” to include therapeutic landscapes, and to understand in what ways space and place shape the experience of living with cancer. These ideas are explored with reference to a qualitative study that explored women…
Peut-on identifier simplement la précarité sociale parmi les consultants de l'hôpital
En l’absence de définitions « opérationnelles » permettant de caractériser les populations « précaires » et d’outils validés de repérage, un groupe pluriprofessionnel a été amené à construire un outil de repérage des usagers en situation de précarité sociale venant consulter à l’hôpital public. La méthode originale mise en œuvre a permis d’évaluer ses qualités métrologiques et d’identifier la nature de l’expertise des assistants sociaux en la mat…
