  • Reasons for and insights about HPV vaccination refusal among ultra‐Orthodox Jewish mothers

    Open AccessRivka Zach, Miriam Ethel BentwichARTICLEDeveloping World Bioethics2023

    BACKGROUND: Vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) is a pivotal tool for preventing a significant cause of cervical cancer.

However, relatively speaking, there remains a scarcity of studies that have focused specifically on religious groups, especially non-Christian groups. PURPOSE: To better understand t…

    Open AccessMiriam Ethel Bentwich, Riki Halamish‐leshem et al.ARTICLEAgeing and Society2019References: 39

    Person-centred care that respects a patient's personhood is the gold standard in dementia care, which is often difficult to achieve given the complexity of caring for people with dementia. This article delves into the narration style of formal care-givers from a variety of ethno-cultural backgrounds in search of linguistic cues that may be related to their emphasis on a person-centred approach to care. A qualitative study, using a discourse analy…

    Open AccessMiriam Ethel Bentwich, Nomy Dickman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Transcultural Nursing2018

    Introduction: Currently, 47 million people have dementia, worldwide, often requiring paid care by formal caregivers. Research regarding family caregivers suggests normalization as a model for coping with negative emotional outcomes in caring for a person with dementia (PWD). The study aims to explore whether normalization coping mechanism exists among formal caregivers, reveal differences in its application among cross-cultural caregivers, and ex…

    Open AccessGil Rubinstein, Miriam Ethel BentwichARTICLEDeveloping World Bioethics2017

    This qualitative research examines the influence of animosity on physicians during clinical encounters and its ethical implications. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with ten Israeli‐Jewish physicians: four treated Syrians and six treated Palestinian terrorists/Hezbollah militants or Palestinian civilians. An interpretive phenomenological analysis was used to uncover main themes in these interviews. Whereas the majority of physicians sta…

  • Human dignity and autonomy in the care for patients with dementia

    Miriam Ethel Bentwich, Nomy Dickman et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2016Cited by: 1References: 5

    Contrary to past research, in nursing homes, significant differences were found between certain ethno-cultural groups (Arabs and Russians) regarding their stance toward the dignity and autonomy of patients with dementia. Arab caretakers' fostering of more encompassing conceptions of dignity and autonomy, irrespective of institutional setting, provides better grounds for person-centered care

    Miriam Ethel Bentwich, Miriam BentwichARTICLEJewish Studies Quarterly2011

    »Vielmehr bietet [der Kommentar] auf höchstem Niveau eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit den Hintergründen, den Zusammenhängen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Grundgesetzes.

  • On political participation, rights and redistribution

    Miriam Ethel Bentwich, Miriam BentwichARTICLECritical Review of International…2009References: 18

    Various quantitative analyses have stressed the connection between lower socioeconomic status (SES) and low political participation. The general argument behind these studies was that since political participation is crucial for democracy, and since low SES compromises political participation, liberal democratic governments cannot afford such a compromise. This paper argues that presenting political participation as a democratic value, correspond…
