Transitional care for older adults with chronic illness: Aqualitative inquiry.

Improved public health strategies and medical advancements have expanded older adults' survival after acute insults from chronic diseases. The resultant increase in disability and care requirements among older adults is significant. However, transitional care interventions to support the efficient transition from acute care settings to home are primitive in developing countries like India. This qualitative survey aimed to estimate the transitional care requirements of older adults with chronic illness discharged from acute care facilities. Descriptive phenomenological approach was utilised for this qualitative study. The older adult-family caregiver dyads fulfilling the inclusion criteria were interviewed until the achievement of information saturation. The transcribed narratives between the researcher, older adults and their caregivers were thematically analysed. Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) served as the framework for reporting this research. Thirteen older adult-caregiver dyads participated in the semi-structured interview, which yielded six themes. Older adults have a hidden self with characteristics ranging between a continuum of 'insistence' to 'giving up'. Caregiver attributes identified from this inquiry were exhaustion, engagement and empowerment. The remaining four themes which constitute the framework for the 'transitional care progression' model include 'complications are mature when identified among older adults', 'medication knowledge is proportionate with its compliance', 'ignorance of supportive care increases caregiver burden' and 'deficient follow-up practices compromise health'. Transitional care for older adults with chronic illness is premature in developing countries. However, the needs of older adults with chronic disease and their caregivers evolved from the present study align with global perspectives. Themes generated from the current qualitative interview, blended with evidence-based interventions, yielded the transitional care progression model, which serves as the only available framework for implementing transitional care in the region. Future research to establish the feasibility and validity of the 'transitional care progression model' is forecasted. The model requires inclusion within the healthcare curriculum. Professional nurses prepared to implement coordinated transitional care pathways are recommended.

Hide and seek: Writing fiction as a way of finding hidden selves

ABSTRACT This paper is interested in the hidden selves that hover silently in the spaces that all human relationships create. It asks how these hidden self-states can find the light of day and suggests that one way is through fictional creative writing. The author shares a piece of fictional writing in which an elusive character—Isobel—appears. This ethereal and fictional manifestation occurs in the context of excruciatingly painful relational experiences in which the narrator describes repetitive and painful struggles for transformation. Speculative attempts to understand the meaning of the fictional material reveal an emerging forward edge and a fledgling sense of agency. But more. It elaborates how the creative writing process offers a different kind of lens through which to locate, elaborate, see, experience and be empathic with our own and, by extension, with our patients’ hidden self-states.

Evolving self-conceptions of Chinese travellers suggested by their travel photo-sharing behaviours

Drawing data from online tourist discussion forums by using a netnographic approach, the aim of the study was to explore the ways that travel photo-sharing behaviours influence the evolution and development of Chinese travellers' self-concepts. Chinese tourists' narratives related to posting travel photos on social network sites (SNS) were analysed, based on the theories of self-concept and self-presentation. Five categories of self-conceptions relating to Chinese travellers’ photo-sharing behaviours on social network platforms were identified, including, public self, possible self, hidden self, unknown self, and filial self. The practical implications of this paper are also discussed.

Inspiration, Creation and Memory in Linda Lê’s Autres jeux avec le feu

This article focuses on several short stories in Linda Lê’s collection Autres jeux avec le feu (2002), and analyses identity as it is intertwined with the themes of inspiration and creation. ‘L’Échafaudage’ relates a visionary quest on the part of a protagonist whose name, Gemini, sets up the dynamic for this story and the collection. Fragmented identity is revealed by the name which indicates a twin nature. While he denies them, his quest reveals hidden selves, as demonstrated through readings informed by short story theory and centred on postcolonialism and gender. In the framing stories, ‘La Mouche’ and ‘Voix off’, the poet/muse trope is introduced. These stories present and perform an evolution of inspiration and creative voice as they relate to gender and memory. This evolution operates a reversal of the hierarchy inherent in the divided self as illustrated by Gemini, and opens the way to a feminine creative voice.

Politics and Ethic of Care of the Self in Albert Camus’s The Plague

Albert Camus’ The Plague articulates a new aesthetic of existence that resists biopolitical normalization. It means cultivating one’s self and not attempting to discover an authentic and hidden self because it entails a continual process of becoming. The sudden eruption of plague in Oran, signifies a rupture in history of its people as the “bored populace is consumed by commercial habits aimed at making money”. In The Plague, if some people become more self-centred and insensitive, characters such as Rieux, Rambert, Peneloux and Joseph Grand show concern for the suffering people and stand in solidarity with them. Their characterization as ordinary individuals who assume responsibility for others’ existence in times of disaster reflects Camus’ hermeneutic of care of the self as an ethical project. Camus aptly asserts that “ordinary acts of courage and kindness are more helpful than the illusion of superheroes”. Deriving a cue from Foucault, Heidegger and Levinas, the paper attempts to explore how care of the self is intertwined with ethics and politics. It is argued that without spiritual discipline and caring for others, the ethical transformation of self cannot take place. It indicates fashioning of the self more freely and self-reflexively and thus speaking truth to power and sacrificing for others. The paper examines this poetics of self which shares an ethical relationship with truth, freedom and kindness.

Yoga Jalan Merealisasikan Keseimbangan Pikiran dan Kesehatan Tubuh

<p><em>Yoga is no stranger to human life today. Yoga combines mind, body, and spirit into one integrated and balanced unity. Someone who does yoga seriously will get a healthy body and mind balance. Yoga is not just a movement or posture. Yoga guides a person to control the mind. Therefore yoga seeks to unite the activities of the body with the mind. In this case yoga as a way to self-discipline. Practicing yoga postures is very effective in curing various diseases. But if we are only interested in practicing yoga postures with the primary goal of maintaining a healthy body and not having the goal of healing the mind and emotions, then our confused minds are not in accordance with the condition of the body. </em><em>Yoga</em><em> is used as an ability to control emotions or manage emotions that are in themselves properly. When someone is able to exercise control or self-discipline, he will realize devotion to God. The goal of yoga is self-realization that will illuminate and enhance the mind and character of a Yogi. This is a spiritual achievement that is able to make humans discover the higher truths that are within themselves. To understand and understand our hidden selves, there must be a perfection in the conscious mind, so that the deeper layers of the mind can be directed at the level of consciousness.</em></p>

Pengungkapan Diri Muslimah Bercadar melalui Instagram: Pendekatan Fenomenologi

Nowdays the hijrah culture is becoming a trend. Not a few Muslim women who emigrated by wearing the veil as a face covering, but then it became a challenge for them when they get discrimination, which is linked to terrorism.

인종 멜로드라마의 급진적 상상력: 폴린 홉킨스의 『한 핏줄, 혹은 숨겨진 자아』에 나타난 뮬라토 형제애적 시민사회

This paper explores the political imagination in Pauline Hopkins’ Of One Blood, or The Hidden Self (1902-1903). During the time that she wrote, the contrived delusions of racial purity provoke racial hysteria and the fear of racial passing. Hopkins converts this racial fantasy to arguing that all white and black in America are “of one blood.” Despite the taboo of miscegenation, Hopkins proposes the alternative polity and the citizen identity based on the hybridity of Mulatto/a. Hopkins encodes the public and political concerns in the very form of melodrama. Conflicts between virtue and vice in Of One Blood are separated from the racial legibility and become the psychological, historical, political issues, which negotiate the social tensions in post-Reconstruction years. The desire for transforming the political model of white supremacy is alluded to the family romance of replacing white paternal authority. With a new model of the mulatto/a fraternity, Of One Blood implies Hopkins’ radical imagination on political equality and the racial uplift in the Jim Crow era.

Flying Friars and Other Exceptions

Stephen Braude’s editorial “Does Telepathy Threaten Mental Privacy” speaks to one reason some people might resist accepting the reality of paranormal abilities. It is somewhat of a puzzle why so many otherwise rational people shy away from psi. If we accept telepathy, it might seem we’re exposed to others snooping on our innermost secrets and intentions. Deploying a distinction made by C. D. Broad between telepathic cognition and telepathic interaction, Braude argues that our fear of telepathic intrusion is greatly exaggerated. I, for example, often think of someone just before he or she calls on the phone. When that happens, I have no knowledge of what the caller is going to tell me, No cognition, just a bit of interaction. Telepathic connection doesn’t necessarily imply telepathic cognition. No danger of your hidden self being exposed in most common forms of telepathy. There are, however, some examples where it looks like real telepathic cognition comes into play. In the early stages of 17th century Joseph of Copertino’s career as a priest, his superiors had to ask Joseph to desist from calling the brothers out in public for every peccadillo they committed. In a typical example cited, he embarrassed a brother for thinking about eating cherries and other things while saying his prayers. His superiors urged Joseph to be more discreet and say things like—“you need to adjust your moral compass.” Joseph did learn to be more discreet but his Vita shows him repeatedly tuning into the specifics of other minds. For example, he was able to distinguish persons who came merely to observe him out of curiosity. Let me quote one sworn deposition from a Brother Francesco that illustrates telepathic cognition.

The Past is Never Past: The Call and Response between Marvel's Black Panther and Early Black Speculative Fiction

Many reviews of the film Black Panther (2018) source its popularity to its Afrofuturism. Contemporary ardency might also stem from the movie's resonance with past ideas, as well. Black Panther engages long‐established Afrofuturist themes and owes a debt to the nineteenth- and turn‐of‐the‐twentieth‐century black speculative fiction of Martin R. Delany's Blake; or, The Huts of America (1859‐62), John Edward Bruce's The Black Sleuth (1907‐09), Pauline Hopkins's Of One Blood. Or, The Hidden Self (1901‐03). The movie illuminates a continuum between past and present ideas of homeland, diaspora, and racial identities.

Staging the Shadow: Writing, Academic Subjectivities, and Hidden Selves

In this paper we explore our writing selves through the metaphors of concealment and display. We discovered the metaphoric possibilities opened up by Jung’s notions of persona and shadow and his emphasis on a rich psychic life that was animated by archetypes and symbolic meaning. This process helped us to glimpse alternative selves, that somehow live within us but are, like the shadow, neglected or pushed aside either due to institutional pressures to conceal or due to our own self-concept and our preferences for displaying certain identity types. Using poetic inquiry to access our unconscious feelings, we engaged in a process of writing that resulted in poetry and poetic vignettes. This type of arts-based practice helped us to disrupt the normative rationalist expectations surrounding academic work and intellectual production, and enabled us to create a space where agency and self-exploration were more accessible and transformative.

Narratives of Self-harm: the experience of young women through the qualitative analysis of blogs

In the last few years, an increasing number of studies have investigated the Self-harming behaviours, particularly widespread among young women, and the development of websites relating to Self-harm, in which the users are most often females. From a psychodynamic perspective, this article aims at identifying the most prevalent topics shared in blogs written by young people who Self-harm, in order to understand their experiences of suffering. We performed a thematic analysis of 70 Italian blogs relating to Self-harming behaviours. From our analysis all the blogs were declined in the feminine. Four thematic clusters were found: troubled relationships with the Other; the hidden Self; loneliness, hate and guilt: the melancholic emotions; the Self-harming act. Some specific functions of Self-harm blogs emerged: they can be a mean for self-disclosure and for emotion regulation. They are also spaces where young women meet to share their pain and offer and find support. Clinical implications for blogs as a place for illness narratives will be discussed.

MENGKOMUNIKASIKAN DIRI ALLAH TERHADAP CIPTAAN SEBAGAI DASAR PEWARTAAN KAUM AWAM MELALUI MEDIA KOMUNIKASI SOSIAL

Everyone who has been baptized in the Catholic Church is united with the body of Christ and entitled to the grace of salvation from God. The salvation is God himself who has been communicating in the hidden self of human being. Besides of obtaining salvation, a member of a Church is also obliged to carry out the task and vocation according to the vision and mission of the Church. Jesus’ command is preaching salvation to all nations, mandated to everyone who has been obtaining salvation. The laity as members of Christ’s body is obliged to carry out the tasks mandated by Jesus. It is important for the laity because they are the one who are facing the world in the front line. Laymen have worldliness that stands out because they discharge all the duties and professional world. The development of today’s world that gives a variety of choices, challenges and opportunities force the laity in determining their behavior. Positive and negative aspects are mix into one affecting the world and everyone too. The laity may be affected by the situation of the times, but should not forget the basic calling and mission in the world. This study recast the concept of thinking that leads to practical pastoral action of laymen in the use of social media communications for vocation and mission in the world. Through the library research, the views and teachings of the Catholic Church is dug to see how a Catholic laymen can carry out their mission, through social modern communication on the self-communication of God in Jesus. In addition, they laity make create communication made by Jesus Christ as the plenary communicator as basis for the communication with the world through social media communication. Social media communications are diverse and sophisticated these days, that can be a soft tool to be used by the laity in carrying out his mission. However, these media users need to gain an understanding and deep concern because in addition to benefits, media communications can also be an obstacle to the proclamation of God's truth. Hence, the laymen have to imitate Jesus’ way of communication as the plenary Communicator which is the core of God's self-communication to the creation.

Revisiting Plozévet

A special issue of French Cultural Studies in 1999 sought to explore the ways in which Modern Linguists have often tended to erase traces of their personal lives from their work. Contributors responded in an autobiographical mode by exploring the ‘hidden selves of scholars and teachers’. This article builds on these reflections by exploring the extent to which Edgar Morin’s Commune en France (1967), his contribution to the multidisciplinary project in Plozévet in Brittany, may be understood as ‘autobiographie involontaire’. The study reads Morin’s Journal de Plozévet (published in 2001, over three decades after the research was completed) in relation to the original monograph and suggests that the diary operates as the second panel of a diptych that reveals the texts’ interdependence. The journal fulfils a ‘genetic’ function, providing the sources for elements of Morin’s monograph and giving an indication of the extent to which Morin drew on the work of his wider team to complement his own observations. More importantly, however, reading the two texts in counterpoint – the one providing spontaneous reflections in the field; the other revealing their processing in the immediate aftermath of the enquête – is part of the revelation of the ‘hidden selves’ of a researcher embedded in a monograph that has been long considered a classic of post-war French sociology.
