Yet, some cancers are less common, less well understood, and receive less attention. Taking neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) as a case study, we explore the lived experience of people with a type of cancer that is virtually unknown among the general population. Drawing on interviews with 30 people living with NETs in Australia, we explored how their experiences are shaped by social and cultural understandings of cancer, and the tensions between chronicity and terminality. We found that people with NETs draw on common narratives around cancer to make sense of their diagnosis. However, NETs were understood as atypical, because they are often incurable, slowly progressing and not associated with treatment side effects such as hair or weight loss. The embodied effects of NETs made them unrecognisable as cancer to participants and community. The specificities of the NET illness experience resulted in the need to reframe narratives around agency and positivity. This hindered social recognition but also provided opportunities to bracket illness and gain some control over the illness experience. The findings of this study highlight the importance of recognising multiple modes of living with cancer.","PeriodicalId":46833,"journal":{"name":"Health Sociology Review","volume":"27 1","pages":"153 - 167"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2018-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14461242.2017.1387068","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43438135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, cancer treatments prescribed for older adults can be tempered by personal views about a patient’s age, and other age-associated health conditions or comorbidities that they may have. Drawing from interviews undertaken with nine key staff members in a large cancer service, we examine how treatment recommendations and decisions are determined when older adults with cancer also have dementia; two health conditions more common in older age. Our analysis reveals two themes that underlie the complicated processes of risk-benefit assessment in treatment decision-making: the unequal distribution of capital and power between health workers; and whether older adults with cancer and dementia are assessed as solely individuals or embedded in supportive social networks (individual versus relational autonomy). This analysis exposes capital and personal beliefs about dementia are implicit in health risk assessments for older adults who have cancer and dementia which, in conjunction with organisational constraints, significantly influence how treatment recommendations and decisions are reached.","PeriodicalId":46833,"journal":{"name":"Health Sociology Review","volume":"27 1","pages":"184 - 198"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2018-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14461242.2018.1466187","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45479999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper identifies three approaches in the practitioners’ narratives: the socially oriented, the individually oriented, and the mixed. The individually oriented approach was based on a logic resembling individualistic explanatory models of behaviour change, and was related to a positive perspective on their own ability to move families towards healthier habits by health care practitioners. The socially oriented approach borrowed elements from a sociological perspective, which seemed to lead to resigned pessimism in the face of the complexity of the problem of childhood overweight and a reluctance to address early childhood overweight in some families. In practitioners of all three types, widespread cultural essentialism was found. Non-western, ethnic minority background was seen as determining family habits and making preventive action especially difficult. Based on this, the current paper discusses whether individual actions and choices are being ascribed too much explanatory power, and the health system's biased perceptions too little.","PeriodicalId":46833,"journal":{"name":"Health Sociology Review","volume":"27 1","pages":"231 - 247"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2018-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14461242.2018.1465352","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42001988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from the combined 2011–2012 and 2013–2014 cycles of The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we estimated a series of models using adult food insecurity measures and self-reported gender as main predictors of depressive symptoms and alcohol use. Our results demonstrate that marriage is protective against greater depressive symptomatology among women and men, and higher alcohol consumption among men. However, the protective effects of marriage against high alcohol use are reduced within the context of food insecurity among men. Further, the results indicate that parenthood is protective against greater depressive symptoms and alcohol consumption among women, but not men. The protective effects of having children are, however, diminished among women in food insecure households. These findings add to the growing literature on the mental health consequences of household food insecurity, and extend this work by clarifying ways in which family roles come to bear on gender differences in the association between food insecurity and psychological and behavioural outcomes.","PeriodicalId":46833,"journal":{"name":"Health Sociology Review","volume":"27 1","pages":"294 - 311"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2018-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14461242.2018.1461574","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45142013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A case study was carried out on the Bolivian organisation Kallawayas sin Fronteras (KASFRO). According to the findings, KASFRO has been founded to demand formal recognition and inclusion in the national health system. Following historical discrimination against traditional medical heritage and the supremacy of the allopathic medical system, new trends of worldwide legitimisation of indigenous people's rights, as well as the worldwide acceptance of non-Western medical systems, were identified as crucial factors in the emergence of KASFRO. As a civil society organisation, KASFRO has been found to be a platform of social capital development which enables both, bonding within the Kallawaya community as well as with other traditional healer organisations (THO's), and bridging with governmental entities, which eventually led to the recognition of traditional doctors as professionals in Bolivia. These findings corroborate the roles of nongovernmental and nonprofit organisations as agents of political and social change, serving the preservation of medical ancestral cultures.","PeriodicalId":46833,"journal":{"name":"Health Sociology Review","volume":"27 1","pages":"136 - 152"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2018-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14461242.2018.1452624","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45906220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article examines how patients and relatives mobilise resources in decision-making in a stroke unit. In particular, it focuses on the challenges in optimising the rehabilitation process faced by patients and relatives, and the strategies they use. Data were generated using participant observation and semi-structured interviews. Qualitative content analysis was applied to investigate the patients’ and relatives’ experiences of decision-making. We present a field-specific form of capital: An individual or a family's resources that are valued in the field of rehabilitation as physical, behavioural and cognitively embedded attitudes and practices. Rehabilitation capital consists of four closely interrelated components: Performative Participation (Cognitively Embedded Performance and Self-initiating Activities), Bodily Progression, Institutional Acceptance and Institutional Potential. It is a resource potentially benefitting patients and relatives during inpatient rehabilitation and may provide patients with an advantage, to ensure the best rehabilitation. The possession of Rehabilitation capital (high or low) contributes explanations for unequal practices and treatments at a micro-level in healthcare institutions.","PeriodicalId":46833,"journal":{"name":"Health Sociology Review","volume":"27 1","pages":"199 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2018-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14461242.2018.1434808","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46703029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper provides a sociotechnical analysis of the controversy surrounding RU486 in Canada, focusing on its entry into public discourse, 1990–1995. The case study draws primarily on statements made about the pill, both in Canadian media and in various actors’ print communications. Using approaches from science and technology studies, the analysis identifies the multiple human and nonhuman actors, their discursive mobilizations of RU486 and each other, and their contingent alliances, illustrating how RU486 mediates and shapes the communication that attempts to define it. Unpacking the network's complexity illuminates how these sense-making practices established the early setting of the technology's path, a first step in understanding why Canada has been a laggard in making the pill available. The discussion illustrates the tensions, instabilities, and reversals in the network that have hindered RU486′s movement from development to diffusion. Finally, the paper suggests a framework for future sociological research on controversial reproductive technologies in their shift from discursive to material diffusion, one that recognises the integral role of women as users.","PeriodicalId":46833,"journal":{"name":"Health Sociology Review","volume":"27 1","pages":"121 - 135"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2018-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14461242.2018.1426996","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45002130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
