Masculinity and Violence Interconnectedness
Among men, gender and views about violence contribute to how men, and others, identify and respond to violence and related outcomes. Despite this, little is known about men’s perspectives regarding gender/masculinities and cumulative lifetime violence (CLV) exposure. Using the qualitative method of Interpretative description, the complex relationship between gender and violence for men who have experienced CLV was explored. Interviews with thirty…
Cumulative Lifetime Violence, Gender Role Conflict, and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Eastern Canadian Men
Despite violence being a chronic stressor that negatively affects health through allostatic overload and potentially harmful coping behaviors, the relationship between cumulative lifetime violence severity (CLVS) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in men has received little attention and the role of gender has not been considered. Using survey and health assessment data from a community sample of 177 of eastern Canadian men with CLVS as target…
Cumulative Lifetime Violence, Gender, Social Determinants of Health and Mental Health in Canadian Men
This is the first evidence that distinct patterns of CLV severity among men intersect with GRC and SDOH and are uniquely associated with mental health
The Mental Health Effects of Cumulative Lifetime Violence in Men
We report qualitative findings of our Men's Violence Gender and Health Study, a multiple method study using a sequential design in which we explored the mental health manifestations of cumulative lifetime violence in men. Survey results revealed that higher cumulative lifetime violence scores were significantly associated with higher scores on depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety in a community sample of men ( n = 685) living i…
Cumulative lifetime violence severity scale
The Cumulative Lifetime Violence Severity-44 scale shows promise as the first comprehensive measure of cumulative lifetime violence for health research that considers gender, individual distress and experiences as both perpetrator and target. Next steps include further exploratory analysis with a more diverse sample of men and confirmatory factor analysis
Longitudinal impacts of an online safety and health intervention for women experiencing intimate partner violence
Clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT02258841 (Prospectively Registered on Oct 2, 2014)
Figuring It Out
Although there are high rates of sexual problems and sexual dysfunction in adulthood (Mitchell et al., 2013), little is known about the circumstances under which problems are first experienced. A growing body of research addresses prevalence of problems in sexual functioning among adolescents and young adults, yet little is known about the meanings that young people give to these experiences or how they deal with them. We used content analysis of…
A tailored online safety and health intervention for women experiencing intimate partner violence
Clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT02258841 (Registered on Oct 2, 2014)
Patterns of Cumulative Abuse Among Female Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence
Drawing on the Women's Health Effects Study, a community sample of women (N = 309) who recently left an abusive partner, this study examines patterns of cumulative abuse experiences over the life course, their socioeconomic correlates, and associations with a range of health outcomes. Latent class analysis identified four groups of women with differing cumulative abuse profiles: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Dominant, Child Abuse and IPV, All F…
Patterns and Predictors of Service Use Among Women Who Have Separated from an Abusive Partner
Using baseline data from a survey of 309 Canadian women recently separated from an abusive partner, we investigated patterns of access to health, social, legal, and violence-specific services and whether abuse history and social and health variables predict service use. We compared rates of service use to population rates, and used logistic regression to identify determinants of use. Service use rates were substantially higher than population est…
Leaving ≠ Moving
Access to safe and affordable housing is a key concern for women leaving abusive partners. Yet little is known about women's housing patterns around leaving. In this community sample, approximately equal numbers of women did not move, moved once, and moved two or more times during the transition period around leaving. Overall, moving patterns were associated with housing type and suitability, economic circumstances, and severity of violence. This…
Attributing Selected Costs to Intimate Partner Violence in a Sample of Women Who Have Left Abusive Partners
Selected costs associated with intimate partner violence were estimated for a community sample of 309 Canadian women who left abusive male partners on average 20 months previously. Total annual estimated costs of selected public- and private-sector expenditures attributable to violence were $13,162.39 per woman. This translates to a national annual cost of $6.9 billion for women aged 19–65 who have left abusive partners; $3.1 billion for those ex…
Reflections on Methodological Approaches and Conceptual Contributions in a Program of Caregiving Research
Caregiving by family members, particularly women, is a societal expectation that is intensifying in the context of an aging population and health care restructuring. Our program of caregiving research spans two decades, moving from inductive theory development using grounded theory methods to deductive theory testing. In this article, we reflect on the serendipitous development of this program of research methodologically and conceptually. We sum…
Are We There Yet? Positioning Qualitative Research Differently
Almost two decades ago, Janice Morse launched this conference, and QHR as a venue for qualitative health research scholarship. The health research climate was then resistant to qualitative research methods. Qualitative scholars portrayed the rigor of their work in traditional scientific language and justified qualitative approaches in opposition to quantitative approaches. Emphasis on difference expanded as we embraced paradigm debates and argued…
Daughters’ Obligation to Care in the Context of Past Abuse
Using theoretical sampling, we extended a previous grounded theory study of women's caring through interviews with 16 women currently giving care to parents who had abused them as children to more fully understand daughters' obligation to care in the context of past abuse. Past relationship was characterized by emotional distance, "never being good enough," degradation, control, and unpredictability. Obligation to care was grounded not only in du…
Workplace Bullying in Health Care Affects the Meaning of Work
Our purpose in this grounded theory study was to explore the impact of workplace bullying (WPB) on women working in health care. We analyzed interviews with 21 women, professionals and nonprofessionals. The women experienced a change in their meaning of work (MOW) when they had experienced WPB, and they addressed this change through a process we called the shifting meaning of work. This process has three stages. The first, developing insight, inv…
A Theoretical Understanding of Sickness Absence Among Women Who Have Experienced Workplace Bullying
Historically, we have assumed that workplaces, where employed individuals spend approximately one third of their days, provide safe and supportive environments and opportunities to enhance women's capacities. Unfortunately, workplace bullying and consequent sickness absence are prevalent and costly realities that significantly influence women's health. In this study, sickness absence among 18 Canadian women who were targets of workplace bullying …
Modelling the effects of intimate partner violence and access to resources on women's health in the early years after leaving an abusive partner
Self-Care Behaviors of Spouses Caring for Significant Others With Alzheimer's Disease
Little of our empirical knowledge regarding how family caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD) manage their self-care needs is grounded in the perspectives of caregivers themselves. Using a grounded theory methodology, we explored self-care behaviors of nine spousal caregivers and developed a substantive theory of finding normalcy for self that reflects how spousal caregivers restore self-care behaviors in the context of a constant st…

Daughters Caring for Dying Parents
Caring for elderly, dying parents is challenging for daughters as they try to balance other obligations and responsibilities. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to explain the domain of daughters' caregiving experiences in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The primary author interviewed 12 women whose parents had died. Three types of turmoil (emotional, relational, and societal) emerged as the central issue for these women. The author…
The Process of Losing and Regaining Credibility When Coming-Out at Midlife
The purpose of this research was to investigate the coming-out process for women at midlife, and to understand how this process of coming-out affects women's health and health care relationships. Using feminist grounded theory, from the interview data we elicited an understanding of how women experienced the coming-out process, how the process influenced their health and health care, what they considered problematic about the process, and how the…
Strengthening Capacity to Limit Intrusion
Children’s health is a key factor in women’s decisions to leave abusive partners, yet how these families promote their health after leaving is poorly understood. In this feminist grounded theory study, the authors conducted repeat interviews with 40 single-parent families that had left abusive partners/fathers and analyzed the data using constant comparative methods. Findings reveal the central problem faced by families is intrusion, unwanted int…
Understanding Women’s Journey of Recovering From Anorexia Nervosa
Previous studies of recovery from anorexia nervosa (AN) have concentrated on discrete behavioral responses of individual women. Little is understood about the subjective process of women’s recovery in the context of family, community, or society. In this feminist grounded theory study, the authors explored the perceptions of 12 women who considered themselves recovered or recovering from AN. They discovered a substantive theory of selfdevelopment…

Intrusion
Like other single-parent families, those consisting of mothers and their children who leave abusive partners/fathers are broadly viewed as deficient, high-risk structures in which children are susceptible to multiple problems. The mechanisms of strength and vulnerability in these families are poorly understood, and, consequently, their health promotion processes remain virtually unexplored. In a feminist grounded theory study of health promotion …

Not Going Back
In a feminist grounded theory study of rural survivors, the authors discovered reclaiming self as the four-stage, social psychological process for women leaving and not returning to abusive conjugal relationships. Not going back, the third stage, is a process of sustaining the separation over time by claiming and maintaining territory and relentless justifying. Much of the current research has focused on the intra- and interpersonal processes of …

Empowerment in Primary Health Care
The experience of families of children with persistent middle ear problems supports the notion that when families become empowered, they manage their own health more effectively. Findings from the present study indicate that families engage in predictable processes of acquiescing, helpless floundering, and becoming experts in their efforts at learning to manage the course of their child's disease symptoms within the context of an often cavalier h…

Trying it on for size
Pregnant adolescents and student nurses are both undergoing role transition when student nurses teach prenatal classes to single adolescents. Through participant observation and the constant comparative analysis of grounded theory, I determined that both groups engage in the process of "trying it on for size". As learners teach learners, an environment of mutual support is created that allows for experimentation with roles. In this article, the p…
Harmonizing
This article is an expansion of a paper presented at the Qualitative Health Research Conference, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, February 1991. Financial support for this research came from the University of New Brunswick Research Fund. I gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Lisa Perley Dutcher in the collection of data and for sharing her insights about Canadian North American Indians. In a grounded theory study of Canadian Indian family manageme…

Method slurring
Increasingly, qualitative research methods are being embraced by nurse researchers because these approaches allow exploration of human experience Failure to explicate qualitative methodologies is resulting in a body of nursing research that is either mislabelled or is classified broadly as qualitative and subject to charges that qualitative research lacks rigour In this paper, the authors discuss the importance of specificity in methodology and d…
Institutionalizing women's oppression
Current Canadian health policy is based on the implicit assumption that women are available to provide care in the home to the dependent, the ill, the elderly, and the physically and mentally disabled. Women are socialized from birth to accept caring roles within a traditional family structure, and current societal expectations and social policy reinforce this value system. Women's health can only be understood within the context of their lived e…
Counteracting abuse and breaking free
In a feminist, grounded-theory study, we interviewed rural survivors of abusive relationships to discover a substantive theory to explain the process of leaving. The central process for survivors was reclaiming self. In this article, we discuss the initial stages of reclaiming self: counteracting abuse and breaking free. Our findings reveal that the abused women were not passive victims. From the beginning, they counteracted abuse by relinquishin…
Feminist Grounded Theory
The feminist perspective applied to the method of grounded theory offers an approach to knowledge discovery for nursing that incorporates diversity and change. The epistemological congruency of feminist theory and grounded theory is discussed. Tensions created by the application of feminist methodological features to the grounded theory method are explored and reflexivity suggested as a means of ensuring that both traditions are respected

Repatterning Care
Caregiving frequently is framed as a family issue when, in practice, women bear the primary responsibility. The goal of this feminist grounded theory study of women's caring was to explain the complex process of family caring by women within the current context of health and social reform. One finding of this study was that women use a process of repatterning, that is, reorganizing caring activities, to reduce or overcome the negative effects of …
Negotiating With Helping Systems
A strength of substantive grounded theories is that they are modifiable. Yet, little attention is given in the research literature to the evolution of grounded theories through the process of emergent fit. In this article, emergent fit is discussed, and the evolution of the theoretical understanding of relationships with helping systems is provided as an example. In a feminist grounded-theory study of women’s caring, emergent fit with existing in…
Precarious Ordering
Given the current societal and political trends toward increasing demands on women to provide care, a conceptualization of caring that captures the common processes of diverse women's caring experiences, and makes the consequences of caring for women's health visible, is critical for the development of a health and social policy that is responsive to women. The findings of this feminist grounded theory study go beyond the current theoretical unde…
Illuminating Social Determinants of Women's Health Using Grounded Theory
Emphasis in health policy has shifted from curative intervention to prevention and health promotion through personal responsibility for lifestyle choices and, most recently, to the social determination of health. These shifts draw attention to and legitimize women's health research that moves beyond biomedical, epidemiological, and subjective knowledge to question previously unquestioned societal norms and structures that influence women's health…
