Abstract

Dr Jacinthe Flore is a Lecturer in Science and Technology Studies in the discipline of History and Philosophy of Science, School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, at The University of Melbourne, Australia. The Artefacts of Digital Mental Health focuses on smartphone apps, wearables devices, and ingestible sensors, which are at the centre of research, development, and investment in mental health and digitalisation. The book aims to examine digital mental health through three artefacts that are defined by their ubiquity, everydayness, popularity, innovation and hype, and emergent qualities. It engages with theoretical approaches to technology, mental health, and wellbeing informed by Science and Technology Studies, sociological studies of health and mental health, and sociomaterialism. The book brings together different theories of mental health, subjectivity, the body, care, and digitalisation alongside biodigital artefacts as exemplars of transformations in digital mental health.

Abstract

This book presents an overview of social problems and health problems that arose out of, or were flared up by, the global COVID-19 pandemic. It addresses most vital problems in developed and developing countries from literally around the world, by top country experts in their respective fields of study. The book debates first certain overall thematic topics and then analyzes a number of key country case studies. Apart from a set of key theme/problem-based chapters, the country case studies from major-hit countries in the world are yet another highlight of the book. They also feature, in addition to analyzing the pandemic and policy responses per se, one extra special focal point each. The book hence covers the core of most severe social problems, including health problems, that have been spurred or set off by the COVID-19 pandemic. An overall theory chapter that uses a global data analysis and a short theoretical appraisal on the 'human face' of the Pandemic is also offered at the beginning of book, to bring back humanity and human decency (i.e. decency of the human condition) into the scientific debate as well as policy making arena, which is utterly needed at this point of human development.

Abstract

In diesem Open-Access-Buch beschäftigt sich der Universitätsmediziner, Manager und Gesundheitswissenschaftler Sandro Lorenz mit der Zufriedenheit von Patientinnen und Patienten in der Prämedikationsambulanz einer großen deutschen Universitätsklinik. Ein zusätzlicher Fokus liegt auf der präoperativen Angst im Vorfeld einer Narkose bzw. Operation. Der Autor plädiert dafür, dass diese zunächst weichen Faktoren von anästhesiologischer Behandlungsqualität in einem Umfeld von Prozessoptimierung und zunehmendem ökonomischen Druck im Bereich der operativen Medizin und Anästhesiologie der stationären Leistungserbringer prototypisch für eine Erweiterung des hauptsächlich auf strukturellen und ergebnisorientierten Merkmalen beruhenden Qualitätsverständnisses stehen sollten. Die Analyse des Autors: Da wo das Arzt-Patienten-Verhältnis menschliche Wärme, Mitgefühl und Respekt vermissen lässt, fehlt nach meiner Einschätzung eine essentielle Komponente der Behandlung. Hingegen dort, wo fachliche Expertise und medizinische Kunst in einem professionellen Prozessumfeld ablaufen und wo Wirtschaftlichkeit und die gerechte Verteilung diese Bemühungen flankieren, dort ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit hoch, eine ausgezeichnete Versorgung zu finden, die nachhaltig angelegt ist. Der Autor Der Düsseldorfer Anästhesiologe, Intensivmediziner und Notarzt Sandro Lorenz widmet sich mit seinen zusätzlichen Ausbildungen in Public Health und Management vorrangig gesundheitsökonomischen und der Versorgungsforschung zugehörigen Themengebieten.

Abstract

This open access interdisciplinary book integrates the major findings and theoretical advances of a 12-year research program run by the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research LIVES research program hosted by the universities of Lausanne and Geneva, within a single comprehensive and coherent publication on vulnerability across adulthood. The book is based on the idea that vulnerability is an essential component of the life course that can inform how we use our resources, reserves and cope with stressors across the life course. It provides a unique interdisciplinary research framework based on the idea that vulnerability is a complex and dynamic process that can only be approached through a multidimensional, multilevel, and multidirectional perspective. This is an invaluable new resource for students and researchers in life course studies, and those from other disciplines willing to include life course factors in their research on vulnerability issues. Dario Spini is Professor of Social Psychology at the University of Lausanne and Director of NCCR LIVES. Eric D. Widmer is Professor of Sociology at the University of Geneva and co-director of NCCR LIVES.

Abstract

This book presents several metascientific strategies and explains how they can be used to improve research about the autism spectrum. It begins with an introduction to the field of metascience and the benefits that it brings to academic disciplines and society. It then outlines recommendations that researchers can adopt so that they do not incorporate specious autism research from predatory publishers into their research activities. An introduction to reproducibility and strategies that can improve the reproducibility of autism research are then outlined. This is followed by chapters about improving the peer review process and reducing the prospect of questionable research practices from occurring. This book concludes with a chapter about strategies that researchers can use to improve the participation of autistics in research. Such knowledge will equip academics, regardless of their experience, with the skills and expertise they need to produce high-quality and inclusive research about the autism spectrum. Dr Matthew Bennett is an independent researcher who has spent more than ten years researching the autism spectrum. He has published six books about the autism spectrum. .

Abstract

In diesem Open-Access-Buch stehen Pflegefachpersonen im Zentrum, die zugleich pflegende Angehörige sind. Als professionell Pflegende verfügen sie über Fachwissen, pflegefachliche Kompetenzen und Kenntnisse zum Versorgungssystem. Als pflegende Angehörige sind sie persönlich betroffen. Die qualitative Studie fokussiert auf das Erleben der Doppelrolle als beruflich Pflegende und zugleich pflegende Angehörige. Sind dies ‚zwei Paar Schuhe‘? Ausgehend von einer Literaturrecherche und der Sekundäranalyse von Interviewdaten wurden episodische Interviews mit 15 Interviewpartner*innen geführt. Die Datenanalyse verdeutlicht ihre Aufgaben im Krankheitsverlauf, welche Entwicklungen sie durchlaufen und ihre Erfahrungen in der Doppelrolle. Die Studie zeigt, dass die Befragten über ein Repertoire von Handlungsoptionen verfügen, die sie im Umgang mit Fachpersonen der Gesundheitsversorgung nutzen. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden in einem Modell gebündelt, das ihre Positionierung als pflegende Angehörige und zugleich Pflegefachperson im Versorgungskontext veranschaulicht. Die Autorin Dr. rer. cur. Anke Jähnke ist als Pflegeexpertin APN Onkologie/Hämatologie am Robert-Bosch-Krankenhaus in Stuttgart tätig sowie als Dozentin für Onkologiepflege und Pflegewissenschaft. Ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte sind v. a. pflegende Angehörige und die Vereinbarkeit von Erwerbstätigkeit und Angehörigenpflege.

Abstract

This book critically appraises the field of Arts in Health in the light of the recent public health crisis and so-called culture wars. A new term was coined in Britain in 2017 for this area of work by an All-Party Parliamentary Group: “creative health”. Williams sets the hopeful assertion for creative health against a darker backdrop of covid nationalism and runaway inequality. Understandings of the field as a (multi)national phenomenon are examined through contested narratives that surround its origin. Using genealogical methods, Williams shows how at supra, national and local policy levels, Arts in Health is presented as an idea that transcends place and time. Arguing against this premise, post-war decades are examined to reveal hidden, mutable arts-health expressions. Examples of practice, and their recognition as such, are context dependent it is concluded, produced by political economies as well as oppositional social movements. Dr Frances Williams gained a doctoral scholarship at Manchester Metropolitan University where she studied Arts in Health in relation to devolution (2016-2019). She brings long experience of working in this field as education manager and curator, teaching MA (Arts in Health) at Glyndwr University where she is Honorary Research Fellow.

Abstract

Research on the relationship between health and the environment in a postgenomic context is increasingly aimed at understanding the various exposures as a whole, simultaneously taking into account data pertaining to the biology of organisms and the physical and social environment. Exposome research is a paradigmatic case of this new trend in environmental health studies. This book takes a multidisciplinary approach focusing on the conceptual, epistemological, and sociological reflections in the latest research on environmental and social determinants of health and disease. It offers a combination of theoretical and practical approaches and the authors are scholars from a multidisciplinary background (epidemiology, geography, philosophy of medicine and biology, sociology). Crucially, the book balances the benefit and cost of the integration of biological and social factors when modelling aetiology of disease. Élodie Giroux is Professor of philosophy of medicine at the philosophy department of Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University and researcher at the Lyon Institute of Philosophical Research (Irphil). Her research interests and her main publications focus on the history of risk factor epidemiology, philosophy of epidemiology, causation in medicine and public health, health and disease concepts, and more recently precision medicine and integrative research in environmental health and exposomics. Francesca Merlin is Permanent research fellow in philosophy of biology at CNRS. She holds a PhD in Philosophy (University of Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, 2009). Her research focuses on ontological and epistemological issues raised by central concepts in biology such as chance and probability, inheritance and epigenetics, in various biological disciplines. She is currently the leader of the ANR EnviroBioSoc project about the plurality of ways the environment is conceived throughout biomedical and social sciences studying environmentally induced diseases. Yohan Fayet is Health Geographer (PhD) at the Human and Social Sciences Departement of the Centre Léon Bérard (Comprehensive Cancer Center in Lyon, France). He is interested in the analysis of spatial inequalities in health, through the multiple impact of physical, social and medical environments on health outcomes. He focuses on spatial inequalities in cancer and analyses potential challenges raised by innovations in oncology. .
