Abstract:
Shame is a universal living experience that is just beginning to be explored within the discipline of nursing. Development of a broad understanding of shame is needed to aid nurse researchers in clarifying this phenomenon from a nursing perspective. Pursuant to this goal, the author in this article reviews the extant literature on shame from the disciplines of nursing, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and theology. Three themes that emerged from the scholarly literature were (a) shame propels miring in paralysis, (b) shame captures the illusionary seen-unseen, and (c) shame permeates the struggle for identity.

Abstract:
Background: Living with an invisible disease of the bowel, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), can evoke the psychologically difficult emotion of shame, which can in turn impact illness disclosure decisions. Aim: This Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) study explored the link between shame and illness disclosure decisions. Findings: All 16 female participants experienced psychologically difficult emotions, with shame being predominant. This shame originated in the social stigma surrounding the specific nature of an illness of the bowel. Additionally, participants expressed their complex relationship with illness disclosure, which highlighted the influencing factor of shame. Methods: This IPA study was conducted under a humanistic, feminist theoretical framework and from a social constructivist standpoint. Conclusion: The experience of shame by women with IBD heavily influences their illness disclosure choices. The question that now requires exploration is how shame impacts illness disclosure in healthcare settings.

Abstract:
In a discussion on the phenomenon of shame, intriguing questions are raised for consideration by teachers of nursing. Raising concerns about the perceived emergence of societal norms that seem to encourage the shaming of others along with technology and social media platforms that enable public shaming brings one to ponder the meaning of shame in the sciencing and art of teaching-learning in nursing, especially in an era of virtual learning. From the unique perspective of humanbecoming, reflections on selected stories of the student experience of shame give rise to several suggestions for faculty to be with students in moving beyond moments of potential shame in the unfolding of new possibilities. These stories and suggestions are offered to nurse faculty and academic administrators for continuing discussion and as an opportunity for shared learning.

Abstract:
This study explored the experience of shame in nursing using an interpretive phenomenological approach as described by van Manen (1997). Shame is a concept that has been extensively theorised within the social sciences as important in the development of individual identity, self esteem and role performance but overlooked in nursing. The purpose of this research was twofold; to gain an understanding of how shame influences and shapes nursing identity and to produce knowledge and stimulate dialogue about what that means for nursing culture. Participants were asked to discuss significant interactions with colleagues. Significantly, all disclosed the experience of shame. Further, four major themes emerged from this study to deepen understanding of what appears to be a cultural experience. The experience of shame involves: self appraisal, professional identity in conflict, the experience of isolation and recrimination. Within each theme a number of sub themes were identified including feeling dumb, being incompetent, withdrawing and going quiet and seeking revenge. The study concluded that in relation to nursing, internalised shame is not readily recognised although negative emotions that are linked to it are clearly felt. When these emotions are left unprocessed or unidentified as shame, then they are likely to have negative consequences. But recognising this hidden shame and bringing it to conscious awareness can express and perhaps relieve shame. Further, shame's adaptive functions, to provide moral direction and teach respect, could be acknowledged or reclaimed. It is argued therefore that acknowledging and discussing shame openly in nursing, such as through future research, scholarships and education, will facilitate consciousness raising and the potential for cultural change.

Abstract:
Begreppet skam är ett mångdimensionellt subjektivt begrepp. Vid sjukdom kan kroppen upplevas som annorlunda och patienten är ibland i behov av hjälp som tidigare inte behövdes vilket kan väcka känslor av skam. Vid känslan av skam upplever individen en blottning av jaget där aspekter som känslighet, intimitet och sårbarhet visas. Syftet med studien var att belysa vad skam är och kan vara inom omvårdnad och genomfördes som en systematisk litteraturstudie. Tio vetenskapliga artiklar användes till studiens resultat och tre teman kunde identifieras; "Mänsklig skam i vårdandet och miljön: det förminskade jaget", "mänsklig skam i vårdandet och miljön: det förlorade jaget" och "mänsklig skam i vårdandet och miljön: det försvarande jaget". Sjuksköterskans bemötande är en viktig aspekt i patientens känsla av skam då ett respektfullt, tryggt och förstående bemötande som främjar patientens autonomi kan minska känslan av skam. Relativt lite forskning har genomförts kring begreppet skam inom vårdvetenskapen, genom att öka sjuksköterskan medvetenhet samt kunskap om skammens olika uttryck kan känslan av skam identifieras hos patienten och lindras genom god omvårdnad.
The concept of shame is a multidimensional subjective concept. The body can be perceived as different during illness and the patient is sometimes in need of help that earlier was not needed which can arouse feelings of shame. During the feeling of shame the individual can perceive its self as exposed where aspects such as sensitivity, intimacy and vulnerability is showed. The purpose of the study was to illuminate what shame is and can be within nursing and was performed as a systematic literature study. Ten scientific articles were used in the result of the study and three themes were identified; "Human shame in the caring and the environment; The diminished self", "human shame in the caring and the environment: The lost self" and "human shame in the caring and the environment: the defending self". The nurse's response is an important aspect in the patient's feeling of shame since a respectful, safe and understanding response that promotes the autonomy of the patient can reduce the feelings of shame. Relatively little research has been performed in the concept of shame within the caring science, through increasing the nurse's awareness and knowledge about the different expressions of shame, the feelings of shame can be identified in the patients and be alleviated through good caring.

Abstract:
Sammanfattning Bakgrund Kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom orsakas ofta av rökning, vilket anses av de flesta vara en självförvållad sjukdom. Konsekvenserna av detta blir att patienter med KOL ofta upplever skuld och skamkänslor. Syfte Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att beskriva patienters erfarenhet av skuld och skam vid kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom. Metod I litteraturstudien granskades åtta vetenskapliga artiklar för att få en kunskap om patienternas känslor kring sin sjukdom. Innehållsanalys användes med ett deduktivt förhållningssätt där data bearbetades för att identifiera mönster och teman. Resultat Två huvudkategorier; skuld och skam var från början definierade och under analysen identifierades en tredje; stigmatisering. Dessa kunde senare delas in i tre olika nivåer; individ, familj/omgivning och sjukvård. Konklusion Denna studie ger sjuksköterskan en bättre förståelse för vilka känslor som kan uppstå vid en ofta självförvållad sjukdom som KOL. Den visar också vikten av att möta patienterna med empati, respekt och höja deras känsla av värdighet och moral.

Abstract:
Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa strokedrabbade patienters upplevelser avätsvårigheter. Bakgrund: Varje år insjuknar ca 33 000 personer i stroke i Sverige. Omkring hälften av dessa upplever ätsvårigheter. Ätsvårigheter definieras som svårigheter som, ensamma eller tillsammans, inverkar negativt på förberedelsen och intagandet av mat och dryck. Metod: Detta är en litteraturstudie med artiklar hämtade från tre olika databaser: PsycInfo, Cinahl och Pubmed. Analysen av artiklarna gjordes genom att hitta textinnehåll i artiklarna som svarar mot syftet i denna studie. Dessa har format kategorier som redovisas i resultatet. Resultat: Fyra kategorier av upplevelser framkom: Ny tugg- och sväljproblematik, Försämrad matupplevelse och ork, Rädsla för att inte kunna kontrollera födointaget och Skam för sitt bordsskick. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskan kan med hjälp av metoder för bedömning av patientens ätsvårigheter hjälpa patienten att undvika negativa upplevelser. Om patienter känner skam och döljersina ätsvårigheter kan detta leda till att de inte orkar fullfölja en måltid. Det i sin tur kan leda till ett försämrat födointag och ett förvärrat hälsotillstånd. Med ett förhållningssätt till patientens individuella upplevelse av skam och rädsla kan sjuksköterskan försöka få patienten att sätta ord på hur han/hon känner sig och på så sätt förbättra ätsvårigheterna.
Aim: The aim of this study was to highlight the stroke affected patients' experience of eating difficulties. Background: Each year approximately 33 000 people are diagnosed with stroke in Sweden. About half of them experience eating difficulties. Eating difficulties are defined as difficulties that alone or together cause a negatively affect to the preparation and ingestion of food and drink. Method: This is a literature review of articles from three different databases: PsycInfo, Cinahl and Pubmed. The analysis of the articles was done by finding text content in articles that met the aim of the study. These formed then the categories as shown in the results. Results: Four categories of experiences emerged in the results: New chewing and swallowing problem, Impaired dining experience and stamina, Fear of not being able toc ontrol the food intake and Shame for ones table manners. Conclusion: The nurse can with acorrect assessment of the patient's eating problems help the patient avoid negative experiences. If patients feel shame and hide their eating problems can it result in not beingable to complete a meal. This in turn can lead to decreased food intake and a worsening health condition. With an individual approach to the patient's experience of shame and fear the nurse can try to get the patient to express how they feel, and this way improve the eating difficulties.

Abstract:
Upplevelsen av att leva med maligna tumörsår är unik för varje patient och fysiska symtom som smärta, lukt, läckage, blödning och klåda kan ge upphov till depression och social isolering. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa patienters upplevelse av att leva med maligna tumörsår. En allmän litteraturstudie genomfördes med sju vetenskapliga resultatartiklar som tolkades i en innehållsanalys. Tre teman kunde urskiljas: Leva med en förlorad kropp, Leva med strategier för att hantera lidandet och Leva med en förändrad självbild och livsvärld. Resultatet påvisade en förnekelse över sårets existens hos patienten och ett behov av att dölja såret för sin omgivning. En ständig oro för att såret skulle synliggöras gjorde att patienten medvetet valde bort att uppsöka vård. Upplevelser av skam och att förlora kontrollen över den fysiska kroppen gav upphov till en förändrad självbild hos patienten. Genom samtal kunde patienten återta kontrollen över sin livssituation och bryta isoleringen från omvärlden. Hopp var en stark strategi som bidrog till att patienten återfick sin livskraft. Inom vetenskapen omvårdnad kan sjuksköterskan öka kunskapsunderlaget om existentiella mänskliga behov och begär i patienters levda värld med maligna tumörsår genom akademisk utbildning och forskning som minskar patienters lidande och främjar en evidensbaserad omvårdnadsprocess.
Living with malignant fungating wounds is a unique experience and physical symptoms can lead to depression and social isolation. The aim of the study was to illuminate patients' experiences of living with malignant fungating wounds. A general literature study was conducted by content analysis of seven qualitative articles. Three themes emerged: Living with a lost body, Living with strategies to deal with suffering and Living with a new identity and lifeworld. The result showed a denial of the wound's existence and a need to conceal the wound from its surroundings. A constant concern that the wound would be made visible meant that the patient deliberately chose not to seek care. Experiences of shame and loss of control of the physical body gave rise to a change in the patient's self-identity. Through conversations, the patient was able to regain control over their life situation and break the isolation from the outside world. Hope was a strategy that helped restore the patient's vitality. Within the nursing tradition, the registered nurse can require more knowledge and increase understanding on the existential human needs in these patients' unique lifeworld through further research and academic education to alleviate suffering and promote an evidence-based nursing process.

Abstract:
Självstigma hos personer med allvarlig psykisk störning behöver undersökas med tanke på att den psykiska ohälsan ökar. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur självstigma påverkat individer med allvarlig psykisk störning. Studien utfördes som en litteraturstudie och resultatet utgjordes av tre kategorier: Att bli sin diagnos, Att känna skam och Att känna hopplöshet. Självstigma påverkar personer med allvarlig psykisk störning genom att försvåra förutsättningarna till återhämtning. Kombinationen av en allvarlig psykisk störning och självstigma skapar negativa konsekvenser utifrån individens egna stereotypa och fördomsfulla föreställningar. Individerna har svårt att känna mening med livet och undviker att söka hjälp på grund av skam och hopplöshet. Detta i sin tur kan leda till förvärrade symptom och ökat lidande. Sjuksköterskan behöver därför vara medveten kring problematiken med självstigma och vara observant kring individens egna fördomar, skamkänslor och känsla av hopplöshet kring sin diagnos. Det är av vikt att skapa förutsättningar för empowerment i vårdsituationen. Interventioner och omvårdnad bör ha som målsättning att minska symptomen av självstigma hos individer med allvarlig psykisk störning. Interventioner torde kunna utformas, men behöver anpassas utifrån vilket samhälle som vården utförs i. Det finns begränsningar i aktuell forskning och fler studier där självstigma som fenomen belyses vore önskvärt, liksom longitudinella studier för att ge en djupare förståelse.
Severe mental illness is a growing health problem. Severe mental illness and self-stigma in combination needs to be examined to clarify what impact they have in combination for each individual. The purpose of this study was to examine what kind of impact self-stigma has to individuals with severe mental illness. The study was conducted as a literature review and the results consisted of three categories: Becoming ones illness Feeling of shame and Feeling of hopelessness. Self-stigma affects the individuals negatively and makes it harder for them to recover. The combination of severe mental illness and self-stigma creates negative consequences from the stereotypical and jaundiced. Individuals have problems with finding meaning of life and are reluctant to seek treatment for their symptoms because of the feeling of shame and hopelessness. In return the symptoms of the mental illness increases and provides more suffering and decreases the meaning of life. It is important that nurses are aware of and are mindful to the individuals prejudice, feelings of shame and hopelessness about their mental illness. Nurses need to make sure that it is possible to be empowered as a patient. Interventions and nursing that aim to reduce the symptoms of self-stigma in severe mental illness should be adapted to the prejudice of the society. More scientific research is needed because of the limited number of present studies concerning self-stigma. There is a need to further investigate self-stigma in severe mental illness. Preferably studies with longitudinal design that focus on the phenomenon self-stigma and how it affects people with severe mental illness, to give a greater understanding.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Anorexia Nervosa är en av den vanligaste ätstörningen och drabbar främst yngre kvinnor. Sjukdomen leder till en förvrängd kroppsuppfattning och karaktäriseras främst av viljestyrd överdriven bantning. Långvarig och grav AN kan skada kroppens organ vilket kan vara livshotande. AN är den psykiatriska sjukdomen med högst dödslighetsgrad. Det är svårt att behandla patienter med AN då det finns ett motstånd från dessa patienter på grund av att de förnekar sina beteenden. Det kan även bero på stigman kring ätstörningar som finns i samhället, vilket leder till att patienter undviker eller uteblir från behandling. Syfte: Att beskriva unga kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med anorexia nervosa. Metod: En kvalitativ analys av narrativer tillämpades på sex bloggar från Google. Bloggarna var skrivna av kvinnor i åldrarna 16–26 år. Resultat: Ur analysen framträdde tre kategorier; Att skambelägga sig själv, Självhat och Begynnande sjukdomsinsikt med sju underkategorier. Konklusion: Studien kan leda till en ökad förståelse och kunskap kring patienters upplevelser av att leva med AN, vilket kan bidra till att sjuksköterskan kan utföra en mer personcentrerad vård.
Background: Anorexia Nervosa is one of the most common eating disorders and mainly affects younger women. The disease leads to a distorted body image and is characterized mainly by will-driven excessive dieting. Prolonged and severe AN can damage the body's organs which can be life-threatening. AN is a psychiatric disease with a high risk of death. It is difficult to treat patients with AN because there is resistance from these patients though they are in complete deny of their behaviour. It may also be due to the stigma surrounding eating disorders that exist in the community, which leads to patients avoiding treatments for their disease. Purpose: To describe young women's experiences of living with anorexia nervosa. Method: A qualitative analysis of narratives was applied to six blogs from Google. The blogs were written by women aged 16-26 years. Results: Three categories emerged from the analysis; To shame oneself, Selfhatred and Incipient desease insight with seven subcategories. Conclusion: The study can lead to an increased understanding and knowledge of patients' experiences of living with AN, which can help the nurse to provide a good person-centered care.

Full text
Abstract:
Bakgrund: Venös insufficiens är en kronisk sjukdom som kan orsaka venösa bensår. Livssituationen för patienter med venösa bensår förändras när de tvingas förhålla sig till symtom från såret såsom smärta, klåda, sårvätska och odör, samt till en långvarig läkeprocess med besvärande kompressionsbehandling. Av kliniska riktlinjer framgår att sjuksköterskan skall omhänderta patienten ur ett helhetsperspektiv, men sjuksköterskor har i tidigare studier uppgivit att de saknar nödvändiga kunskaper för att möta personen bakom såret. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters upplevelser av att leva med venösa bensår. Metod: Studien utformades som en kvalitativ litteraturstudie. Resultat: Patienter med venösa bensår kan uppleva skam för rinnande sårvätska, skrymmande bandage och odör. Sårrelaterad smärta leder till fysiska begränsningar, som i kombination med skam, oro och osäkerhet ger patienterna en begränsad tillvaro. Den långa och osäkra läkeprocessen leder till känslor av hopplöshet, sorg och maktlöshet. Slutsats: Begränsningarna som patienterna upplever kan leda till social isolering och nedsatt fysisk aktivitet. Maktlöshet, sorg och hopplöshet kan leda till en sämre hälsa. Ovanstående konsekvenser av den förändrade livssituationen kan i sin tur påverka sårläkningen negativt. Sjuksköterskan kan ge stöd till patienten genom att använda humor, skapa mötesplatser och tillämpa empowermentstrategier. Klinisk betydelse: Patienter kan uppleva ett bättre bemötande när sjuksköterskan har en god förståelse för de besvär som såren orsakar. Förståelsen kan även vara till hjälp när sjuksköterskor planerar stödåtgärder till patientgruppen.
Background: Venous insufficiency is a chronic disease that can cause venous leg ulcers. Living conditions of patients with venous leg ulcers are changed when they need to adapt to wound symptoms such as pain, itching, exudate and odour, as well as a prolonged healing process with disturbing compression therapy. Clinical guidelines show that nurses should have a holistic approach to patient care, but in previous studies nurses have indicated lack of necessary skills to meet the person behind the wound. Purpose: To describe patients' experiences of living with venous leg ulcers. Method: The study was designed as a qualitative literature study. Results: Patients with venous leg ulcers may experience shame for running exudate, bulky bandages and odour. Wound pain leads to physical limitations, which in combination with shame, anxiety and uncertainty gives patients a restricted life. The long and uncertain healing process results in feelings of hopelessness, sadness and powerlessness. Conclusion: Limitations that patients experience may lead to social isolation and reduced physical activity. Powerlessness, sadness and hopelessness may lead to poor health. The above consequences of the changed life conditions may in turn influence wound healing. Nurses can provide patients support by using humour, creating meeting places and applying empowerment strategies. Clinical significance: Patients may experience better treatment when nurses show a good understanding of the problems that wounds cause. Understanding can also be helpful when nurses plan measures to support the patient group.

Abstract:
AbstractSocial exclusion refers to a process by which “individuals or groups...are denied the opportunity of participation, whether they actually desire to participate or not” (MacLeod et al. 2017; Barry 2002,p.16). In relation to old-age social exclusion, Tournier and Vidovicova (2019) have defined spatial and community exclusion as “the unintended reduction of mobility outside the personal home (spatial component) and of participation in local life (community component)”. Against this background, nursing home residents may be regarded as experiencing a heightened risk of spatial and community social exclusion because their need to be spatially included has not been prioritised in traditional nursing home architecture and urban planning. More recently, alternative concepts of integrating nursing home residents within the local communities have received increasing attention within policy and practice initiatives. The overall aim of this chapter is to present knowledge about innovative approaches to prevent social exclusion of nursing home residents from urban space and local life. Three cases are chosen from Denmark and one from The Netherlands. The four cases share the aim of reducing old-age social exclusion of nursing home residents. Based on the four cases, we discuss the different ways in which urban design and architecture can contribute to combatting social exclusion.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractSelf-rated health, or self-assessed health, is based on asking individuals to evaluate their general health status on a four- or five-point scale, with response options ranging from ‘very good’ to ‘very poor’. This simple question has been one of the most frequently used health indicators for decades. In nursing research, the voices, interpretations and understanding of humans, as well as their ability to shape their experiences, are studied through the collection and analysis of primarily qualitative materials that are subjective and narrative in nature. However, knowledge about subjective experiences of health and illness, situated and filtered through the life-world of the individual, can also be sought using other approaches. The aim of this chapter is twofold. Firstly, it aims to outline perspectives on how epidemiology and population-based studies of self-rated health as an indicator of subjective experiences can generate new evidence to solve nursing problems and expand nursing knowledge. Secondly, based on the hypothesis that there is an association between good self-rated health and a person’s capability to master the gains and losses of late life, the chapter also aims to describe how personal capability can be operationalised as self-rated health, given that this seemingly simple question delegates to the individual the task of synthesising, in a single evaluation, the many dimensions that make up the complex concept of health and wellbeing in old age. Although a person’s capabilities are dependent on a large variety of factors, at the individual level, symptom experience, chronic illnesses and functional disability are paramount. Therefore, in this chapter, the focus will be on self-rated health as an indicator of personal capability in the fourth age – the period of late life characterised by illness, frailty, impairment and dependence on others. To study self-rated health during this period of life is especially interesting in that the discrepancy between subjective and objective health seems to increase with age, and older olds tend to rate their health as better than younger olds given the same level of disease and functioning.

Abstract:
This chapter evaluates health care and hospitals in the Danish context. It looks at the way neoliberalising stresses efficiency and consumer-oriented services in hospitals, and how this is experienced by newly qualified nurses based upon institutional ethnographic research. The chapter considers the struggle between philosophies of caring (ethics of care) and their everyday lives, discussing the guilt, shame, and emotional breakdowns of nurses. These young nurses have to unlearn the ideals of care taught in nursing schools to adapt to the harsh realities of working life in hospitals, and the chapter identifies a gender difference in their work practices, which may or may not be representative of gender differences generally within nursing. The chapter then examines the notions of a ‘care crisis’ in relation to a less serious situation, that of a ‘care squeeze’.

Abstract:
This chapter describes the abjection that is associated with late life frailty. Abjection refers to the collective distaste and shame associated with any devalued condition, status or position within society. Drawing upon the history of the ‘old’ abject classes, for whom the poorhouse or the workhouse served as their symbolic institution, it is argued that the successful dismantling of those institutions and the near elimination of abject or extreme poverty has since seen a ‘new’ abject class emerge, made up of the frail and most dependent persons, largely very old and very infirm people. Unlike the abject classes of the past, today’s new class of abject persons is much less able either to challenge its marginalisation or to represent itself as a collective voice. Replacing the workhouse, the nursing home is its symbolic institution where abjection is inter-woven within the networks and relations of care. Those who care and those who are cared for are alike subject to the abjection of the fourth age and the potential for abuse that flows from it.

Abstract:
The nursing process can be used in the safe and effective delivery of pediatric sedation care. Nurses contribute to the direct care of sedated patients by developing competency and expanding knowledge and expertise within their specialty. While the provision of care to patients and families is of paramount importance, ensuring an environment conducive to delivery of safe, quality care by the healthcare team is another fundamental aspect of nursing. Management of sedation, analgesia, and anxiety in pediatric procedural sedation is an intrinsically multidisciplinary process that involves nursing, physicians, child life specialists, and other healthcare providers. In general, pediatric procedural sedation is a relatively new specialty with limited data on the role of the pediatric nurse in this multiprofessional team. It is an opportunity for nursing to collaborate with other healthcare professionals to establish guidelines and protocols to facilitate optimal patient care and efficiency as well as to share and expand their knowledge base and clinical skill set. Specialty certification and credentialing, team concept values, and the evolving role of the sedation nurse are all elements to consider within pediatric procedural sedation from the nursing perspective.

Abstract:
The history of nursing informatics whilst arguably starting with Florence has exploded into a tale of frenetic activity in the last 30 years. This tale is told in this chapter. The evolution of a nursing minimum data set and evolution of a shared language internationally is rightfully positioned as critical to the future of nursing. The argument is structured around the benefit of a sound informatics infrastructure that enables nurses to Care, Share and Compare. Direction of future development needed is discussed in light of the evolution of the nursing role as knowledge worker.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to clarify, through ethnographic research, how nurses acquire and share their knowledge and skills of home nursing in clinical settings. The field research took place at a visiting nurse station in Nagoya, Japan between 2013 and November 2021. Research method used were participant observations and interviews at visiting nurse station and patients’ homes. One of the authors is an assistant professor of nursing at a university’s Nurse and Health department who also leads students in the clinical training at the visiting nurse station. The research data were acquired from periodical nurse station visits and from accompanying nurses in their activities.visiting nurses considered patients and family as partners, and they explored the preferred care together with the patient to create tailored care. We showed the following in a paper at AHFE-HSSE conference in 2021: the visiting nurses read into the patient’s societal background, life and beliefs, and visiting nurses analyzed the living style patients wish for, in order to propose the method which materialize this kind of living. The value co-created by the nurses and patient formulated the “normal living style” wished to be sustained by the patient (Otani and Ito 2021).Incidentally, in nursing education in Japan, universities nursing faculties and nursing schools educate students in basic knowledge and skills of nursing in wards to home nursing in Japan. The co-creative practices and techniques of visiting nursing care need to be learned while working in a clinical setting after the nurse is licensed. The paper revealed the following: The visiting nurse "co-created" with the patient to produce a nursing technique that fit the patient's needs based on the "sticky information" (von Hippel 1994) obtained in the patient's home. At the visiting nurse station, the nurses reported new information obtained at the patient's home or communicated to the patient during daily conferences. The nurse illustrated and demonstrated the nursing techniques that fit the patient to colleague nurses.In addition, the nurses had a joint conference with physical, occupational, and speech therapists working in the same station. The participants reported to each other the new information the patient during their stay at the patient's home, and described the techniques of each specialist that fit the patients. The information revealed in the conference was recorded into the patient's medical chart each time. The nursing skills created in the patient's home through co-creation with the patient are sticky information that is difficult to transfer, but they are shared and accumulated through gestural demonstrations at conferences by the health professionals.

Abstract:
This paper introduces a strategy to accomplish pick-and-place operations for a six-degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) robotic arm attached to a wheeled mobile robot. This research work is part of a bigger project in developing a robotic-assisted nursing to be used in medical settings. The significance of this project relies on the increasing demand for elderly and disabled skilled care assistance which nowadays has become insufficient. Several methods were implemented to make a 6-DOF manipulator capable of performing pick-and-place operations. This paper presents an approach for solving the inverse kinematics problem and planning collision-free paths. An Iterative Inverse Kinematics method (IIK) was introduced to find multiple configurations for the manipulator along a given path. The IIK method takes advantage of a specific geometric characteristic of the manipulator, in which several joints share a common plane. Ten different scenarios with different number and pattern of obstacles were used to verify the efficiency of a path planning algorithm introduced here. Other methods, also implemented in the current project, which describe the manipulator and its capabilities, are presented elsewhere [1]. Overall results confirmed the efficiency of the implemented methods for performing pick-and-place operations for a 6-DOF manipulator.

Abstract:
This paper is aiming to investigate the impact of perceived autonomy and perceived risk on attitudes and opinion about two assistive robots (Paro© and Asimo©), as factors explaining the probability to become “friend” with a robot. The worldwide population of elderly people is growing rapidly and in the coming decades the proportion of older people in the developed countries will change significantly. This demographic shift will create a huge increase in demand for domestic and health-care robotics systems. But the spread of robots in everyday life particularly for purposes of healthcare already gives rise to questions about acceptability, moral and legal responsibility. A robotics system can be powerful and useful, there is not a reason why this system is usable and/or desirable and in fine, accepted. It is still unclear how well these new “faux-people” will be accepted by society, for they raise fundamental questions about what it means to be human, especially at home or in nursing house.METHOD. In a large online survey conducted in France, 2 783 participants (936 adolescents with a mean-age of 12.2 years; 1077 adults with a mean-age of 33.4 years; and 770 seniors with a mean-age of 71.3 years) were asked to complete three questionnaires: (1) The DOSPERT scale (for Domain-Specific Risk-Taking; Blais & Weber, 2006) to assess risk attitude and perception of risks for our participants; (2) The revised version of the FQUA-R scale (for Friendship Quality- Revised; Thien, Razak & Jamil, 2012) to assess close relationships and potential friendship with a robot; (3) The PAS (for Perception of Autonomy Scale; Lombard & Dinet, 2015) to assess positive and negative attitudes towards autonomy of robots. Each participant was asked to complete the three questionnaires twice: before and after viewing two videos showing two assistive robots (Paro© and Asimo©) interacting with human people: In one of the videos, a young woman interacts with the robotic baby-seal Paro©, and gives many explanations about the interests for elderly people (“Paro© gives kindness”, “its allows to create an attachment”). Moreover, we can see an elderly woman who caresses Paro©. In the other video, several physical characteristics of Asimo© are presented (size, weight) and the robot performs several tasks by interacting with a young woman (Asimo© walks, runs, plays football, opens a bottle, serves a glass, etc.).RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. For the two robots, structural equation modelling was used to determine the relationships between all the variables. Results have mainly showed that (i) Perceived risk is mainly and significantly explained by attitudes about risks in health and social domains whatever the gender and the age, and (ii) Perceived autonomy has a direct and positive effect on Friendship quality. In other words, our results tend to confirm that our three factors (perceived risk, perceived autonomy and friendship) are strongly interrelated and should be integrated in studies investigating the acceptability of assistive robots, and confirm that these three factors have different impact according to the physical appearance of the robot (human-like for Asimo© or animal-like shape for Paro©). Industrial and theoretical perspectives are discussed.

Leaman, Oliver. "TOWARDS AN UNDERSTANDING OF GÜLEN’S METHODOLOGY." In Muslim World in Transition: Contributions of the Gülen Movement. Leeds Metropolitan University Press, 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.55207/dxqa9908.

Full text
Abstract:
There is an apparent paradox at the heart of the Gülen approach. On the one hand there is a determination to present a version of Islam that is rational, inclusive, progressive and toler- ant. The broad aim is to show Islam to be a universal faith, one that has no difficulties in coexisting with other religions and indeed with those who have no religion at all. On the other hand, Islam is definitely portrayed as the superior form of belief, often because it is seen as incorporating in the best possible ways rational and spiritual virtues present in many other approaches to understanding the nature of the world. Yet how can Islam be represented as one among many and also as the first among many? This interesting feature of the Gülen methodology is shown to rest on a basic aspect of the Hanifi/Murji’i theological approach, which can also be seen as paradoxical. The inability to define precisely the nature of belief and who is a believer suggests an uncertainty about what the Muslim actually believes in. It also implies a difficulty in identifying who is a Muslim and who is not, and that might be regarded as a basic issue in religion. The lack of definition in the Hanafiyya is precisely its strength. This is something taken up well by the Gülen movement. Religious boundaries are often blurred, and believers may wish to hold onto a variety of beliefs not all of which fit neatly into a particular traditional faith. In prioritising Islam the Gülen movement expresses clearly its opinion that within the parameters of Islam is likely to be found the most truth and the best regimen as to how to live. Yet those parameters are not themselves strictly defined and allow for much change and development. When considering the thought of Gülen it is important to try to classify the sort of approach that he adopts in his writings and speeches. What methodology is he using? This is a question that can be raised about any significant thinker. We need to know how they shape their mate- rial, and as we shall see, what sort of audience they design their material for. It is not easy to classify Gülen’s thought, in just the same way that his mentor Bediüzzaman Nursi is also difficult to place in a neat category of intellectual life. It is the purpose of this discussion to at least start the process of developing a model of how to understand Gülen, since his work is deceptively simple and direct. It will be shown that despite its attractive and apparently unsophisticated flavour, it embodies a complex hermeneutic, and a very interesting one at that.
