Exploring Liminal Spaces in Older Age
Dual sensory impairment (DSI), a combination of vision and hearing loss, presents significant social and physical challenges to older adults and their social networks. Despite its growing global prevalence, DSI is underexplored in extant literature and receives little attention in health policy or ageing research. This qualitative study explores the social experiences of older adults with DSI in Australia. Using data from 15 ( n = 15) intensive i…
The Effort of Caring
Aim: To explore the social implications of Dual Sensory Impairment (DSI) for older Australian adults and their family carers. Background: DSI in older adults is a chronic progressive disability with varying combined degrees of vision and hearing loss. Prevalence increases with age and is particularly high in those > 85 years of age. Older persons with DSI experience a range of functional, social and emotional health issues and are considered a vu…
Lifetime Active Care
This study reports the findings of a qualitative, grounded theory study which explored the experiences of partners and other long-term family carers living with and supporting loved ones with spinal cord injury. The study is exploratory in that little was previously known about the experience of long-term care-giving in this context in Australia. Most research in this area has focused on this experience during the first 5 years postinjury. This s…
A community-of-care
In developed countries, residential aged care facilities (RACFs) are increasingly becoming the place of care and site of death for older people with complex chronic illnesses. Consequently, it is becoming ever more relevant for these facilities to provide appropriate complex, as well as end-of-life care for this growing group of people. Evidence-based guidelines for providing a 'palliative approach' were developed and introduced in Australia in 2…
A sense of security for cancer patients at home
The present paper reports on a qualitative research project designed to expose the presently unrecognised minutiae of community nurses' work with cancer patients at home, and to identify the ways in which these, combined to form comprehensive care episodes, contribute to physical and psychosocial well-being. The project was conducted in two locations in New South Wales, Australia, one metropolitan and one rural. The research model focused on part…
The logic of small samples in interview-based qualitative research
In a qualitative framework, research based on interviews often seeks to penetrate social life beyond appearance and manifest meanings. This requires the researcher to be immersed in the research field, to establish continuing, fruitful relationships with respondents and through theoretical contemplation to address the research problem in depth. Therefore a small number of cases (less than 20, say) will facilitate the researcher's close associatio…
Discordant Feelings in the Lifeworld of Cancer Survivors
This article concerns persons who live in uncertainty following an earlier diagnosis of (and completed treatment for) cancer. Fear of recurrence of the disease underlies the uncertainty and the attendant perception of being profoundly endangered, more 'at risk' than anyone else. Such a reflective assessment engenders a sense of separation from the everyday 'practical consciousness' that seems effortlessly to be shared by 'ordinary' others. The mi…
The turn to inwardness and cancer survivorship
In this paper I examine the relationship between the notion of inwardness - the idea of attending to oneself as inner - and the subjective experience of cancer in western societies. I argue that this historically limited mode of self-interpretation is rooted in the Augustinian theoretical formulation of personhood in terms of inner and outer, and that it is from within this frame of reference that modern persons attempt to find their bearings. Re…
Social Realities of Loss and Suffering Following Mastectomy
This article draws on personal accounts of women's thoughts and feelings following mastectomy. The analysis of the material obtained in multiple, focused interviews has revealed two major themes in these accounts: on the one hand, the loss of bodily symmetry (one of the basic cultural criteria of physical beauty) was deeply felt; and on the other, peace of mind (a characteristic of psychological beauty) was permanently disturbed by the fear of th…
A Social Perspective for Menarche
Menarche is the most discrete and significant event of female puberty and can thus be expected to have implications for the social activities that surround it. Yet in our society there are no cultural practices regarding menarche. More remarkably, comparatively little academic interest exists in the role that menarche may play in girls' changing self-perceptions during adolescence, as well as in their understanding of their social world in which …
