A systematic search and review focusing on the influence of health-tracking technologies on eating habits and attitudes
A systematic search and review of studies of health-tracking technologies that included diet-related outcomes, in adult non-clinical populations, was conducted to produce an evidence-based response to the question, ‘What does the literature tell us about experiences of health-tracking technologies in relation to relationship with food and eating in non-clinical populations?’. Fifteen studies were included in the review and five recurring concepts…
What does qualitative evidence tell us about how having a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus impacts an individual’s identity? A systematic review
Despite literature acknowledging the significance of identity, thorough understanding of how Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) impacts identity, and individuals’ responses to this, is absent. This systematic literature review gathers, organises and evaluates existing qualitative studies investigating or reporting on how diagnosis of T1DM has impacted an individual’s identity, and the ongoing impact that diagnosis of T1DM has on an individual’s iden…
Words Left Unspoken: Exploring the Unspoken Narratives of Loved Ones Supporting a Person who has Survived a Suicide Attempt
Experiences of informal carers supporting a loved one following a suicide attempt are under-reported in research. This is partly due to specific psychological barriers which lead to carers feeling silenced. This study aimed to uncover and explore unspoken narratives of informal carers who have provided care for a loved one following a suicide attempt. Fourteen adult participants responded to a social media advert inviting them to an interview to …
Bugbears in the Waiting Room: Revisiting Arber and Sawyer's Classic Study of GP Reception Work Using Ethnography in Eight English General Practices
In 1985, Arber and Sawyer described the discretionary rationing power of general practice receptionists. Our paper revisits this territory. Much has changed in the intervening decades. Digitalisation has altered reception work. Increasing multimorbidity and rising chronic illness, combined with a dwindling workforce, restricted funding and systemic pressures on public services, have fuelled the 'crisis' in general practice. 'Unacceptable' delays …
Accessing an assisted death from the UK: Navigating the legal ‘grey’ area
Assisted dying is available in many countries globally but remains illegal in the UK, where there are ongoing debates about its legal status. Britons seeking an assisted death must travel to Switzerland. This article explores the experiences of UK-based individuals considering an assisted death and family members of those who have completed an assisted death. We recruited 11 participants across two qualitative studies, analyzing data using Interp…
Land of the unconquerable: The lives of contemporary Afghan women
Reaching beyond sensational headlines, Land of the Unconquerable at last offers a three-dimensional portrait of Afghan women. In a series of wide-ranging, deeply reflective essays, accomplished scholars, humanitarian workers, politicians, and journalists--most with extended experience inside Afghanistan--examine the realities of life for women in both urban and rural settings. They address topics including food security, sex work, health, marriag…
The Veil: Women Writers on Its History, Lore, and Politics
This groundbreaking volume, written entirely by women, examines the vastly misunderstood and multilayered world of the veil. Veiling— of women, of men, and of sacred places and objects—has existed in countless cultures and religions from time immemorial. Today, veiling is a globally polarizing issue, a locus for the struggle between Islam and the West and between contemporary and traditional interpretations of Islam. But veiling was a practice lo…
