Negotiating risk and resilience
This article explores how hill tribe communities in Chiang Rai, Northern Thailand, engage with HIV prevention in the context of cultural complexity and marginalisation. Drawing on qualitative data from 29 semi-structured interviews and two participatory workshops, and informed by a modified social ecological framework, the research examines how individuals navigate risk and protection through informal knowledge networks, relational dynamics and c…
How Institutional Logics Inform Emotional Labour
Sociological analysis of emotional labour can be aided by considering how institutional logics inform the performance of emotional labour. We consider the link between institutional logics and emotional labour by conducting an in-depth case study of junior doctors in a large UK hospital. We point to three key institutional logics - bureaucratic, consumerist and professional logics - and show how they inform the emotional labour of junior doctors.…
From the bar to the cowshed
The COVID-19 pandemic had a devastating impact on the health and wellbeing of populations around the world, with vulnerable groups, including sex workers, being disproportionately affected. This study explored the effects of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions on the lives of female sex workers in Pattaya, Thailand. In-depth interviews with ten women were used to explore the ways in which they sought to cope during the crisis using Lazarus and Folkman…
Can you see me? Participant experience of accessing a weight management programme via group videoconference to overcome barriers to engagement
BACKGROUND: Engagement with conventional weight management group programmes is low. OBJECTIVE: To understand participant experience of accessing an adapted programme via videoconference. PARTICIPANTS: ), referred to an NHS Dietetics service in Wales, were offered a group videoconference weight management programme as an optional alternative to in-person groups. Thirteen participants (mean age 48.5 ± 20.2 years, 8 female) recruited to two videocon…
Service innovation through resource integration
Scholars, policymakers and practitioners recognise the potential to improve public services through active citizen involvement and much research has examined the formal opportunities to ‘co-produce’ changes in the structures and cultures of public services. Yet scholars have devoted little attention to the opportunities for service and social innovation that emerge from the everyday activities of service users and their phenomenological experienc…
Health States of Exception
This paper draws on the work of Giorgio Agamben to understand how the social organisation of care transitions can reduce people to their 'bare' life thereby making harmful and degrading treatment seemingly legitimate. The findings of a 2-year ethnographic study show how some people experience hospital discharge as undignified, inhumane and unsafe process, expressed through their lack of involvement in care planning, delayed discharge from hospita…
Performance, power and condom use
Each year large numbers of Western men travel to Thailand for sex tourism. Although many will use condoms during their sexual encounters, others will not, potentially exposing themselves to the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Although sex tourism in Thailand has been well documented, the social drivers underpinning voluntary sexual risk-taking through the avoidance of condoms remain poorly understood. Engaging wi…
Transforming professional and service user identities in the heterotopian ‘hybrid spaces’ of public–private partnerships
Public–private partnerships (PPPs) are interpreted as ‘hybrid’ organisations that combine the distinct organising principles of public and private sectors. This paper develops a spatial analysis of these ‘hybrid spaces’ to understand how they transform the practices and identities of professionals and service users. Informed by Foucault's ‘heterotopia’ concept, the paper considers how the juxtaposition of competing organising principles disrupts …
Public policies on healthcare-associated infections
To summarize the historical events and drivers underlying public policy for the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections in Brazil and in the United Kingdom. In doing so, the article aims to identify lessons and recommendations for future development of public policy. The analysis is based on a historical overview of national healthcare-associated infections programs taken from previously published sources. Findings highlight ho…
Negotiating the Edge
Every year thousands of Western men travel to Thailand as sex tourists to participate in paid-for sex. Although many of these men will use condoms to protect themselves against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), others will not, despite the risks. By applying Steven Lyng's (1990) concept of edgework to data collected from 14 face-to-face interviews with male sex tourists in Pattaya, Thailand, and 1,237 online discussion board posts, this art…
Becoming hybrid
This article examines how tensions in institutional logics, created in the formation of hybrid organizations, are played out, and partially resolved, through micro-level interactions within everyday work. Drawing on the negotiated order perspective, our research examined how the ‘context’, ‘processes’ and ‘outcomes’ of micro-level negotiations reflect and mitigate tensions between institutional logics. Our ethnographic study of a public–private p…
A Contingent Approach to the Organization and Management of Public–Private Partnerships
Public–private partnerships ( PPPs ) have become a prominent feature of contemporary public policy. Although research shows variation in the contractual configuration of partnerships, there is little evidence of how these shape service and workforce organization. Through comparative ethnographic research on two PPP health care providers in the English National Health Service, this article develops the idea that PPPs exhibit “tight” and “loose” ar…
An exploratory study of knowledge brokering in hospital settings
Discovering healthcare professional‐practice networks
Purpose The aim of this paper is to examine the benefits of undertaking mixed methods social network analysis (SNA) to investigate patterns of interpersonal relationships in healthcare delivery. Although SNA has roots in anthropological and ethnographic research, recent emphasis has been on the mathematical properties of social networks utilising graph theory and statistical analysis. While such studies may present interesting data on the structu…
Healthcare identities at the crossroads of service modernisation
Health policies increasingly support private businesses to take an active role in the organisation and delivery of public healthcare services. For the English NHS, this is exemplified by the introduction of Independent Sector Treatment Centres. A number of these facilities involve the wholesale secondment of NHS clinicians to the private sector which, we suggest, raises important questions about the identities of healthcare professionals accustom…
