Neonatal end-of-life care in Sweden

NURSING IN CRITICAL CARE, Issue 5 2003
Anita Lundqvist
Summary , A survey was carried out of Swedish neonatal end-of-life regarding practice before birth, at birth, during dying and after death using a descriptive questionnaire with close-ended questions and individual comments , The practice in 32 of 38 neonatal units, as described by the head nurse or the registered nurses, was largely similar. Respectful treatment of both the neonate and the parents during neonatal end-of-life care was indicated , Differences were found in pre-natal care concerning the information about the risks of pre-term birth, the opportunity for parents to view a pre-term neonate and meet its family, as well as a social worker , Practice directly after birth was also different. A little less than half of the units answered that they gave a description of the seriously ill neonate to the parents before the first visit to the ward , Practice during dying indicated that only a few units permitted the neonate to die at home [source]

,I send the wife to the doctor', Men's behaviour as health consumers

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CONSUMER STUDIES, Issue 5 2010
Joan Buckley
Abstract This paper explores men's behaviour and attitudes in relation to health matters. While there has been some practical and research progress in engaging with users of health services, there is less development in the area of engaging non-users. In effect, all members of the society can be the consumers/users of health promotion, though not all are. This paper reports on the first stage of a wider project aimed at increasing the effectiveness of skin cancer awareness messages aimed at men. The project focuses on men over 50 from an area of socio-economic disadvantage, since these men tend to have the lowest life expectancies in general, and the highest incidences of mortality for skin cancer both at a national and international level. The research was conducted through community-based focus groups and while the sample was relatively, small it produced some interesting outcomes in terms of how this cohort audited and responded to public health promotion campaigns; how they perceive cancer and health issues in general; how they respond to health issues; and how they view both the public health service in Ireland and the ways health professionals relate to them. It confirms many theories about how men view their health and how they respond to health promotion campaigns. Among other points, it raises questions about the possible mixed benefits of testimonial-based advertising. It also indicates that there may be further layers of complexity connected to identity, fatalism, problem solving and respectful treatment that have not been sufficiently articulated in the literature. It points to the need for greater engagement by service planners and providers with the needs of their target audience, which may require a more encompassing definition of service user. [source]

When Will Older Patients Follow Doctors' Recommendations?

JOURNAL OF APPLIED SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 5 2008
Interpersonal Treatment, Outcome Favorability, Perceived Age Differences
Study participants were 104 older patients (M age = 76 years) who rated their last visit to a doctor. If they felt respectfully and honestly treated by the doctor, they were more willing to confide in a medical professional. If they received the information that they needed, they were more likely to follow the doctor's recommendations. However, if they perceived their doctor to be closer to them in age, respectful treatment was most closely related to compliance. If they perceived their doctor to be much younger than themselves, obtaining needed information was related most closely to compliance. The results illustrate the value of treating age as a salient social category that can shape older patients' reactions to their medical visits. [source]

Responsive Regulation and Taxation: Introduction

LAW & POLICY, Issue 1 2007
VALERIE BRAITHWAITE
The implementation of responsive regulation in taxation means influencing the community's commitment to pay tax through respectful treatment, through attending to resistance and reforming faulty processes, through fairly directed and fully explained disapproval of non-compliant behavior, through preparedness to administer sanctions, and capacity to follow through to escalate regulatory intervention in the face of continuing non-compliance. Responsive regulation and regulatory formalism are pitted against each other in this issue on responsive regulation and taxation. Normative and explanatory arguments in favor of responsive regulation are explored by data collected in taxation contexts; and institutional obstacles are identified that limit effective implementation.

Reconsidering Respect: Its Role in Her Majesty's Prison Service

THE HOWARD JOURNAL OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, Issue 2 2007
MICHELLE BUTLER
It is argued that respect-as-esteem and respect-as-consideration are often confused and unequally emphasised in modern society. This confusion is especially evident within the prison context where, due to the prison service's ,decency agenda', the respectful treatment of inmates has become a topical issue. What does respect mean in prison? Why is it important? How can respectful relationships be established between staff and inmates? This article discusses these questions and proposes that there are different forms of respect possible between people. It is argued that there needs to be a recognition of the nuances of meaning when we use the word respect and that ,respect-as-consideration' may be the form of respect most consistently achievable, at the present time, within interpersonal relationships in English and Welsh prisons.
