Navigating Cancer Risk: A Grounded Theory of Culturally Anchored Risk Engagement (Care) Behavior Among Sub-Saharan African Immigrant Men
The development of a model of acculturation and health practices among sub-Saharan African Men (Maps) in the United States: A grounded theory study of prostate cancer early detection
The past two decades has seen a steady rise in the number of immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa to the United States (US). While this population represent one of the fastest growing segments of the US immigrant population, research examining the impact of migration on the health practices and behaviors among this population has lagged. Acculturation is the modification of an individual’s beliefs, values, and behavior upon contact with a different…
Perceived expectations and experience of recreation service quality delivery from the recreation hub users in Gauteng Province, South Africa
Public recreation hubs play an important role in enhancing physical activities, social contacts, and the health status of a community. The quality of the experience in such a setting influences user satisfaction and dedication; however, there are limited studies that can adapt well-advanced conceptual frameworks to capture unique characteristics of the public recreation feature. This study investigates user expectations and perceptions of service…
Shaping Prostate Cancer Across the Care Continuum Among Black Men: The Role of Culture and Family Dynamics
Prostate cancer represents a significant health disparity among Black men, who experience higher rates of both incidence and mortality compared to other racial groups. Understanding the complex interplay of cultural, familial, and socioeconomic factors that shape health behaviors is essential for the development of effective interventions. This study sought to explore the lived experiences of ethnically diverse Black men with prostate cancer, foc…
Bridging the Gap: A Community Advisory Board Promoting Community Engagement in Cancer Research for Ethnically Diverse Populations
Prostate cancer disproportionately affects Black men in the United States, leading to higher mortality rates and health disparities. In addition, based on historical mistreatment and discrimination and the resulting distrust of the medical system, Black populations are consistently underrepresented in health care-related research. Addressing these challenges requires community-driven approaches integrating diverse perspectives and fostering equit…
Health-related quality of life in ethnically diverse Black prostate cancer survivors: A convergent parallel mixed-methods approach
Practical Considerations in Qualitative Health Research During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced both quantitative and qualitative health researchers to adapt and strategize data collection strategies without causing any harm to the participants or researchers. This has resulted in utilizing various types of strategies such as online surveys and synchronous virtual platforms such as Zoom and Webex. This transition from face-to-face to synchronous online platforms has helped in increasing coverage as well as r…
The Meaning of Health for Women with Physical Disabilities: A Qualitative Analysis
(1) defined physical health as a correlate of functional capacity; (2) noted the importance of a positive mental state; (3) recognized the effect of having or lacking social support; (4) described the role of health behaviors in health promotion, as adapted to their functional limitations; and (5) described problems with their medical practitioners' lack of knowledge. Barriers included certain disability characteristics, stress, inadequate social…
Energizing the ordinary: Biographical work and the future in stroke recovery narratives
Sudden illness and biographical flow in narratives of stroke recovery
The conceptual framework of biographical disruption has dominated studies into the everyday experience of chronic illness. Biographical disruption assumes that the illness presents the person with an intense crisis, regardless of other mitigating factors. However, our data suggests that the lives of people who have a particular illness that is notably marked by sudden onset are not inevitably disrupted. Extensive qualitative interviews were condu…
Disrupted Bodies: Experiencing the Newly Limited Body in Stroke
This article explores the intersection of recovery and bodily practices among stroke survivors. Drawing on the extensive literature on the socially constructed body in general, on chronic illness, and on interactionist thought, we explore bodily experience as a mechanism that informs stroke survivors' understanding and practices of everyday life in recovery. We ask a central question: what practical mechanisms does the survivor employ to provide …
Benchmarking as Everyday Functional Assessment in Stroke Recovery
The lessons provided by everyday functional assessment for understanding the stroke experience, as well as directions for further study, are discussed in the conclusion
The Transtheoretical Model and Cervical Screening: Its application among culturally diverse communities in Queensland, Australia
Classification based on the model was supported both by the decisional balance scale and measures of knowledge. Women in earlier stages of the model were more likely to express preferences for the provision of services in their own language and by a female. Cervical cancer screening among women in Action and Maintenance appeared to be better supported by GPs. Cervical cancer screening promotion for women of diverse cultures and ethnicities has te…
Abuse of Women With Disabilities: Policy Implications
According to the National Study of Women With Physical Disabilities, the prevalence of abuse was not significantly different between women with and without disabilities. Women with physical disabilities, however, reported significantly longer durations of abuse. Unique vulnerabilities to abuse experienced by women with disabilities include social stereotypes of asexuality and passivity, lack of adaptive equipment, inaccessible home and community …
