Purposing and Repurposing Harms
The purpose of the victim impact statement (VIS) is to inform judges of victims' crime-related physical, psychological, and financial harms. Findings from interviews with Canadian sexual assault victims, advocates, victim services workers, and prosecutors ( N = 37) demonstrated that harm descriptions were manipulated by victims and others in keeping with, and contrary to, VIS design. Victims and prosecutors purposed the VIS to inform court outcom…
Improving Client-Centered Brain Injury Rehabilitation Through Research-Based Theater
Traumatic brain injury often results in physical, behavioral, and cognitive impairments perceived by health care practitioners to limit or exclude clients' full participation in treatment decision making. We used qualitative methods to evaluate the short- and long-term impact of "After the Crash: A Play About Brain Injury," a research-based drama designed to teach client-centered care principles to brain injury rehabilitation staff. We conducted …
Communication Channels in General Internal Medicine
General internal medicine (GIM) is a communicatively complex specialty because of its diverse patient population and the number and diversity of health care providers working on a medicine ward. Effective interprofessional communication in such information-intensive environments is critical to achieving optimal patient care. Few empirical studies have explored the ways in which health professionals exchange patient information and the implication…

The Role of “Real Rape” and “Real Victim” Stereotypes in the Police Reporting Practices of Sexually Assaulted Women
Some feminists have argued that rape myths constrain women’s reporting of sexual assault to the police. The authors investigated whether myth-associated characteristics of sexual assaults play a role in police reporting behaviors of women. A sample of 186 sexual assault cases seen at a hospital-based sexual assault care center in 1994 was analyzed using logistic regression. A positive association was found between reporting a sexual assault to th…
It's More of a Production
This qualitative study investigated the conditions and experiences of mothers who used wheelchairs and scooters for full-time mobility. In focused, open-ended interviews, 11 mothers of children aged 6 months to 18 years described sociospatial obstacles and facilitators that influenced how they cared for their children and homes. Results suggest that mothering with a disability consists of embodied and emplaced practices. Women often felt 'out of …
Recruitment issues in healthcare research
A global shift in the setting of healthcare from hospitals and long-term care institutions to homes and communities has been accompanied by the growth of interest in the home as a site of healthcare research. Home care researchers have identified the recruitment of research subjects as a significant concern. The present descriptive, exploratory study used qualitative, semi-structured interviews with home care researchers (n = 9) to illuminate the…
Managing Space and Marking Time
In this study, mothers retrospectively describe their experiences of prolonged protective isolation with infants hospitalized for severe combined immune deficiency. Mothers (N = 5) spent approximately 10 hours every day for 10.5 months in an 11-foot-square isolation room. Dressed in masks and surgical garb, they cared for their infants but were prohibited from engaging in skin contact. Although the rooms' characteristics and regulations remained …
