I've never given it a thought’
The subjective experience of ageism among older men has received little research attention. This study examines older Canadian men's experiences with and perceptions of ageism during interactions with physicians. In-depth, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 21 men aged 55 years and over. The findings indicate a seeming lack of awareness of ageism among many, and many did not believe ageism was likely to occur during patient–physician int…
My opinion is that doctors prefer younger people’
This study examines older women's views about and subjective experience of ageism during interactions with physicians. Views about and experience of sexism are also examined. Data were obtained from in-depth, face-to-face interviews conducted with 36 Canadian women 55 years and older. The findings indicate that older women believe ageism is likely to occur during medical encounters and are concerned about it. Few, however, claim to have personall…

Managing Identity While Living With Alzheimer's Disease
Although any illness can negatively affect the self, Alzheimer's disease poses a special threat. Based on interviews with nine Canadians diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's disease, and adopting a symbolic interactionist perspective, this study examines the impact of the illness on identity. Findings indicate that, given the necessary resources, persons with Alzheimer's can live meaningful, purposeful lives and creatively manage to protect and…
Making the best you can of it
Drawing upon data from a qualitative study of persons who are in the early stage of the condition, this paper examines the meaning of Alzheimer's disease. It contrasts the meaning of the disease as portrayed in popular culture with its meaning as interpreted by persons living with it. Findings show that persons with the illness do not necessarily accept the negative cultural meaning of the disease, nor the helpless 'victim' role in which they are…

Managing Courtesy Stigma
This paper reports the findings of a qualitative study which examines the experience of courtesy stigma among family members of persons with Alzheimer's disease. The results indicate that both primary caregivers and other family members experience stigma; however, a good number of the family members interviewed claimed not to have experienced stigma and did not appear to be concerned about trying to avoid it. Factors or conditions that influenced…
Women and Caring
Adopting a symbolic interactionist perspective, this paper examines what the caring experience means to women. Drawing upon data obtained from in-depth interviews with 142 elderly women, the analysis presents an interpretation of caring as a route to self-meaning. It is argued that caring can be a meaningful component of self-identity. Moreover, these data show that the caring role can be a source of self-continuity in later life as it is a role …
