Effects of family-centered education on stigma and self-esteem level in teenagers with epilepsy

Objective To evaluate the effects of family-centered education on stigma, self-esteem, disease-related knowledge and attitude, medication compliance and physical health status in teenagers with epilepsy. Methods Totally 80 cases teenagers with epilepsy were selected and divided into the study group and the control group with 40 cases in each group. Patients in two groups were all given conventional treatment and nursing care. In addition, patients in the study group were given family-centered education intervention. All patients received telephone follow-up and return visit after 3 months, and the stigma, self-esteem, disease-related knowledge and attitude, medication compliance and physical health status of patients before and after intervention were evaluated and compared. Results There were significant differences in the score of behavior, body and family shame of the study group after intervention (P<0.05). The scores of behavior, body and family shame in the study group after intervention were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The scores of disease-related knowledge, medication compliance in the study group after intervention were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The family-centered education can reduce the stigma, improve self-esteem level, disease-related knowledge and medication compliance of patients effectively, and play a role in promoting the patients′ physical health. Key words: Epilepsy; Health education; Teenagers; Stigma; Self-esteem level

“The Italian Color”: Race, Crime Iconography and Dubbing Conventions in the Italian-Language Versions of Scarface (1932)

In the early 1930s the crime film Scarface: The Shame of a Nation (1932, USA, dir. Howard Hawks) stirred censorship controversies in the United States because of its gritty portrayal of criminality and violence. Debates over crime, race and immigration proliferated in the North-American press and finally led to Italian-American pressure groups to call out for the film’s boycott because it ‘offended the Italian nation and people’ and vilified immigrant communities. Archival historical research in AVT has revealed how film versions have frequently been cut and dialogues ideologically manipulated to suit political agendas, commercial interests and dominant sexual and religious moralities. Indeed the translation of films has often served too many masters, suffering direct or indirect censorship intervention whenever a film defied existing societal taboos. My contribution aims to offer a diachronic perspective on the reception of Scarface lo sfregiato in Italy. It will look at the film’s Italian-language translation and re-translations for cinema, television and DVD, prepared by different hands and re-voiced by different actors during a span of fifty years (1940-90s). From the textual and contextual analysis of the film’s different Italian editions, it will be possible to trace significant ideological shifts in the reception of Italian-American crime iconography and in the language used to communicate it.

Resisting Motherhood in Thomas Kilroy’s Talbot’s Box

This paper discusses the heretofore unexamined role of women characters as performing agents in Thomas Kilroy’s play, Talbot’s Box . Employing a close analysis of textual patterns, it argues that the first Priest Figure and the Woman represent a collaborative effort by two women to highlight and to resist their confinement into roles of symbolized motherhood. In this aim, they are ultimately unsuccessful. Their relationship is fractured, and its object thwarted by the actions of the play’s male characters. We see their suppression as shameful indictment of what it means to be a woman in the world Kilroy is showing us, and by drawing attention to their pain, we are better able to understand why Matt Talbot seeks a life of solitude.

Kritika tzv. moderního člověka u Carla Schmitta a její přesahy

Článek se zabývá Schmittovou kritikou modernity a jejími antisemitskými přesahy, a to na pozadí způsobu, jimž Schmitt konstruoval centrální pojem své teorie politična &#xF02D; nepřítele. Koncept nepřítele se tak v Schmittově díle postupně vyvíjí. V předvýmarském období, v němž vznikají především významné texty Der Wert des Staates und die Bedeutung des Einzelnen a Theodor Däublers "Nordlicht", je nepřítelem především moderní, individualistický člověk či moderní duch. V období výmarském se pak z nepřítele stává již nepřítel politična, kterého Schmitt bohužel a velmi odpudivým způsobem identifikuje v textech nacistické diktatury s židovským myšlením příliš vázaným na abstraktní zákon. Závěr článku je následující: politická teorie Carla Schmitta je založena na antiindividualistické a téměř úplně negativní antropologii, která je doprovázená teorií sekularizace popisující proces neutralizace a depolitizace lidského života, který tak ztrácí na vážnosti. Tento způsob života postrádajícím jakoukoliv transcendenci a utápějící se pouze v obstarávání je pak pro Schmitta životem velmi bídným a neautentickým. Celou tuto komplexní problematiku pak článek hodnotí na pozadí vývoje německého katolicismu v 19. století, do jehož kontextu Schmitt náležel.

The Political Economy of Hunger in Rhodesia and Zimbabwe

The first-time visitor to Salisbury cannot help but be impressed by the exceptionally clean and modern downtown area. The well-kept parks and spotless boulevards put any city in the United States to shame. Supermarket shelves are well stocked, and the near total absence of beggars makes one wonder if this is in fact part of the African continent. If one stays inside the downtown area and its rich suburbs, one can easily miss the ugly truth that millions of people in this relatively affluent nation are suffering from malnutrition and that whole communities have been destroyed by starvation.

The Ethical-Normative Force of Shame

The Ethical-Normative Force of Shame

"Ist die Schwarze Köchin da? Jajaja . . .": Mimesis and Günter Grass's Die Blechtrommel

Die Blechtrommel (1959) has inspired widely divergent readings, not least in respect of the aesthetic grounds that the novel offered for the social hope in the wake of Auschwitz. This article re-visits it against the backdrop of Grass’s own recognition of the post-war author’s—personal and collective—sense of complicity; and in that connection it considers how Die Blechtrommel embodies the dialectic of hope and despair more broadly characteristic of Grass’s sense of post-war literary and political engagement. Its contention is that Theodor W. Adorno’s conception of “Mimesis,” as it is developed in Dialektik der Aufklarung (1944) and Asthetische Theorie (1970), can provide a compelling account for Grass’s aesthetic and ethical achievement. The article examines the senses in which Oskar embodies the dynamic of Mimesis, staking as he does a subversive ethical claim for his notorious drumming and sing-shattering. It then turns to showing how Grass’s portrayal of the “bodily” reveals it as a meeting point of complicity, shame, and guilt—but also a faintly utopian site for a new social order. By thinking through these insights precisely with Mimesis in mind, we might begin to do justice to the elusive moment of hope in Grass’s work.

Olfactory reference syndrome – a case report

Introduction Olfactory reference syndrome (ORS) is a condition characterised by persistent preoccupation about body odour with feelings of embarrassment, shame, distress, avoidance and isolation. There is often referential thinking. Case description A 16-year-old male was referred to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. He believed that ‘everyone thought I smelt bad' for the past 3years. He avoided going out with friends, sitting at restaurants, going to the cinema, and playing games. He sprayed himself with deodorant between every lesson. He insisted his laundry to be done by hand using special products. He asked his mother how he smelled before going to school. He spent his time in isolation in his room. When asked, he accepted that his concerns were excessive. He was commenced on cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) with his mother as a co-therapist. Discussion There has been much debate over whether ORS warrants a separate entity in the current classificatory systems. At present it is placed between delusional disorders, social phobia, body dysmorphic disorder and obsessive compulsive disorders. Our patient did not experience hallucinations. His conviction was derived from referential thinking and did not reach the level of a delusion. Literature on management of ORS is scarce. Our patient was offered CBT and he showed improvement from first session onwards. By the end of therapy he rated his improvement as 80%. He stopped avoidance behaviours and reassurance seeking and used techniques to combat automatic thoughts. CBT seems a promising option in the management of ORS.

Effect of Adult Attachment, Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction and Internalized Shame on Anger Expression Modes

본 연구에서는 성인애착의 두 차원인 애착불안과 애착회피가 기본 심리적 욕구 만족과 내면화된 수치심을 거쳐 분노표현방식에 미치는 경로를 확인하고 각 변인들 간의 관련성을 탐색했다. 이를 위해 서울 및 경기 지역에 거주하는 성인 남녀 384명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였고, 이 중 분석에 사용할 수 없는 10명의 자료를 제외하고 374명의 자료를 분석에 사용하였다. 분석 결과, 애착불안과 애착회피 모두가 기본 심리적 욕구 만족을 거쳐 분노통제에 영향을 미치고, 내면화된 수치심을 거쳐 분노억제와 분노표출에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또, 애착불안과 애착회피의 차이가 나타났는데, 애착불안은 기본 심리적 욕구 만족과 내면화된 수치심에 직접적으로 영향을 주지만 애착회피는 기본 심리적 욕구 만족에만 직접적으로 영향을 미치며 내면화된 수치심에는 기본 심리적 욕구 만족을 거쳐 간접적으로만 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석 결과를 통해 애착불안과 애착회피의 차이점을 확인하였고, 애착불안과 애착회피가 분노표현방식에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 기본 심리적 욕구 만족이 중요한 변인임을 확인하였다. 이상과 같은 결과를 바탕으로 애착불안과 애착회피의 차이 및 결과의 의의를 논의에 포함시켰으며, 연구 결과에 대한 상담 및 심리치료에 대한 제언점 등을 논의하였다.

Who is Worthy of Redress?: Recognizing Sexual Violence Injustice Against Women of Color as Uniquely Redress-Worthy—Illuminated by a Case Study on Kenya’s Mau Mau Women and Their Unique Harms

Until recently, reconciliation initiatives tended to ignore specialized harms of sexual violence suffered by women. At the urging of gender scholars and advocates, reconciliation initiatives started acknowledging the unique nature of sexual violence harms to women and began tailoring remedies to address these specialized harms. Yet, though a step in the right direction, even those forward-looking gender-sensitive initiatives have not specifically and forthrightly recognized the unique sexual violence harms to women of color. Race and gender place women of color at the bottom of the social hierarchy, making them particularly vulnerable to sexual violence as part of mass injustice and later often rendering their injuries nearly invisible in the redress process. Yet their severe sexual violence harms are unique, ranging from irreparable reproductive damage, broken relationships, and economic hardship to stigma, isolation, and shame. Why do those fashioning redress tend to largely overlook or ignore these unique sexual violence harms to women of color? This Article responds to this pressing question and modestly refines the recently developed intersectional race-gender redress analysis. It clarifies societal constructions of gender by focusing on one aspect as it intersects with race—sexual violence. The Article calls for a particularized intersectional racegender redress analysis to recognize sexual violence against women of color as uniquely worthy of redress. Through a case study on Kenya’s Mau Mau women and their unique harms, the Article employs this refined redress analysis and encourages scholars, frontline advocates, policymakers, and survivors and their families to strive for more comprehensive and enduring social healing “by doing justice” for both individual women of color and the polity itself. In doing so, it emphasizes that unveiling and making explicit any implicit intersectional racegender redress bias might significantly begin changing societal notions about who is worthy of redress.

Interior as a Teacher: Аbout social-psychological impact of interiors of modern Russian universities

The RF government’s program documents on education have high and ambitious goals. However, everyday training practice is in acute contradictions with these goals. With the help of the analysis of emotional and imagery content of typical interiors, it is shown that in most cases it refers to such emotions as shame, placability and obedience. Unconscious influence of interior images contributes to maintenance of discipline and controllability among students, but obstructs their effective education.
