Five Residents Speak: The Meaning of Living with Dying in a Long-Term Care Home
Personal meanings given to the experience of living with nursing home death were shared by 5 nursing home residents. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Using M. van Manen's (1990) hermeneutic phenomenology, the lived experience of residents emerged as a compilation of 5 dynamically occurring themes, including (a) mapping relations, (b) pacing oneself (c) maintaining belongingness, (d) reconciling death as part of life, and (e) …
Women's community work challenges market citizenship
This article examines the connection between women's community provisioning work and their participation in citizenship activities that seek to alter an inequitable distribution of rights and resources. As neo-liberal policy regimes restructure the collective work of women, we explore whether women's community work has become a substitute for public resources or whether it serves as a fundamental challenge to an individualization of citizenship b…
Provisioning Responsibilities: How Relationships Shape the Work that Women Do
This study documents the work women do to provision for themselves and others. It charts the contours of this work and examines associated responsibilities. The concept of provisioning informed interviews with 100 women. The diversity and range of women's work were surfaced by selecting women from six community groups, marginalized by income, race, and age, in two Canadian provinces. Findings summarize the types of provisioning activities and str…

This paper reports on the application of this method to a study of women's contributions to provisioning within a …

Birth Control Discontinuance as a Diffusion Process
This paper applies the diffusion of innovations model to the study of the birth control discontinuance of first-time users in the Dominican Republic. Two sets of factors are examined: social characteristics of the adopters are used to test Rogers's and Shoemaker's contention that discontinuers have more traditional values than continuers; and the adoption decision process is analyzed to identify the relationship of communication factors to discon…
