Coping with maternity care in rural areas
Efficiency-oriented healthcare reforms have led to the closure of obstetric units in several European countries, particularly affecting rural areas that are experiencing depopulation and a decreased birthrate. Using Bourdieu's field theory, this qualitative study aimed to explore how women's economic, cultural, and social capital affects their coping at different stages of maternity. The study was based on 20 semi-structured interviews with women…

This research aims to examine the potential impact of ethnicity on medication adherence based on the example of a post-Soviet country. The research was carried out as a quantitative surv…

The aim of the research is to identify public perceptions and information needs during the closure process of smaller maternity units, and examine it in the context of recently performed admin…

The research findings are derived from a thematic analysis of 16 semi-structured in-depth interviews with Estonian Parkinson's disease patients. The coding scheme bases on the four practice elements outlined by Schatzki (practical understandings, rules, te…
