Sharing clinical notes, and placebo and nocebo effects: Can documentation affect patient health
This paper connects findings from the field of placebo studies with research into patients' interactions with their clinician's visit notes, housed in their electronic health records. We propose specific hypotheses about how features of clinicians' written notes might trigger mechanisms of placebo and nocebo effects to elicit positive or adverse health effects among patients. Bridging placebo studies with (a) survey data assaying patient and clin…

The goal of this study was to gain insight into such patients' attitudes to…

Occupational Responses to Mid‐life and Aging in Women with Disabilities
Our understanding of occupational responses across the life course is in its infancy. The occupational responses of women in mid‐life and aging have received little attention. The focus of this paper is on the occupational responses to mid‐and later life of a particularly neglected group of women: those with disabilities. For women in the general population, mid and later life are characterized by a host of intrinsic changes (physical and psychol…

This is examined through in-depth narrative interviews. The data were processed through thematic analysis. It was found that during the transition, a change in perceived identity occurs and that people grieve over the loss of their f…
