A global effort to advance systems change to address the needs of families where a parent has a mental illness.

As part of the Prato Collaborative I am undertaking a Delphi Study to explore the developmental journeys that nine different countries (including NI and Ireland) have undertaken to better meet the needs of families where a parent has a mental illness in adult mental health and children’s services. This research has potential to impact FFP in adult mental health and children's services.

An examination of verbal descriptors of cancer-induced bone pain and neuropathic cancer pain

Aims: The aim of the thesis was to identify verbal descriptors of cancer induced bone pain (CIBP) and neuropathic cancer pain (NCP). An examination of the verbal descriptors associated with these two pain syndromes further considered the relationship between common verbal descriptors, cancer type, performance status and analgesia. Methods: The project was conducted in two phases; Phase one was a systematic review of the literature to examine current evidence of verbal descriptors in CIBP and NCP. Phase two utilised secondary data analysis methodology. Data from 120 patients with confirmed CIBP and 61 patients with confirmed NCP were deemed eligible for entry into a de novo database for secondary analysis. Key descriptive data were considered such as gender, ECOG and pain scores to characterise the patient population. Verbal descriptors of CIBP and NCP were considered in detail across the secondary de novo database. Results: Gender was not identified as a diagnostic characteristic of CIBP and NCP with similar distribution across prevalence of pain reporting and also pain severity. Patients with breast (n=52,43.3%), prostate (n=35,29.2%) and lung (n=14,11.7%) cancer were found to be at an increased risk of CIBP. Those with NCP more was found more commonly among patients with breast cancer (n=21,34.4%). Patients with CIBP were found to have an ECOG performance of 1 (n=49, 40.8%) or 2 (n=43, 35.8%) which was lower than those with NCP with an ECOG of 0 (n=32, 52.5%) or 2 (n=18, 29.5%). Comparisons were made across analgesia and treatment options for CIBP and NCP. Patients with CIBP received a greater variety of treatment options including bisphosphonates and radiotherapy while patients with NCP were more commonly treated with analgesia alone. Patients with CIBP and NCP were taking strong opioids, however those with NCP (n=45, 73.8%) were more likely to utilise strong opioids than those with CIBP (n=61, 50.8%). It was noted that those with NCP required a daily morphine equivalence of almost 50% higher than those with CIBP. Average consumption of opioids was 155.6mg, for patients with NCP, compared to 76mg in patients with CIBP. Common verbal descriptors of CIBP and NCP were identified. The most common verbal descriptors for CIBP were aching, gnawing and throbbing and the most common verbal descriptors of NCP were aching, tender and sharp. Of the most common 6 descriptors for CIBP and NCP only one descriptor was unique to each pain type, gnawing for CIBP and stabbing for NCP. Conclusions: Patients with CIBP and NCP use similar verbal descriptors to characterise their pain with gnawing being unique to CIBP and stabbing being unique to NCP in the data considered within project. Further research is required to explore verbal descriptors which are both common and unique to CIBP and NCP. Further exploration of verbal descriptors would assist development of a comprehensive pain assessment tool which would enhance pain assessment for nurses, clinicians and patients.

El bienestar psicológico de los preadolescentes

Research on psychological well-being - as a component of quality of life - has paroduced notable developments during the last two decades. However, few instruments exist that are applicable to the study of psychological well-being among adolescents. This article presents the results of administering un instrument of this kind to a sample of 1590 Catalan adolescents between 12 and 14 years old. The instrument, Huebner's siss scale (Huebner, 1991a, 1994) had already been adapted to study a population of Spanish children (Alsinet, 1998). The results are compared to those of positive and negative affect scales administered to the same sample, and to those obtained by Huebner with a US sample. The results demonstrate good reliability, a consistent factor structure, a goodfunctioning of the scale in the Spanish population, and a pattern of answers consistent with the original results by Huebner

Quinina: 470 anos de história, controvérsias e desenvolvimento

After 470 years, a history of development, international seed smuggling and scientific development that caused deep changes in our society, has reached an end. In 1638, the countess of Chinchón contracted a disease while in the Amazon rain forest and was healed by a potion used by the native inhabitants. In 1856, William H. Perkin while attempting to obtain synthetic quinine, discovered the mauveína, a molecule that changed the world. The synthesis of quinine was also the subject of a bitter controversy among two excellent scientists of the 20th century. During centuries, quinine was the only hope against malaria disease and its exploration almost extinguished the Cinchona tree.

Säädyn ja sukupuolen mukainen. Uuden ajan alun englantilainen aateliskasvatus ja naisena olemisen rajat

Tämän tutkielma tarkastelee uuden ajan alun käsityksiä naiseudesta ja sitä, miten ajan aateliskasvatus ja koulutus kuvastivat näitä käsityksiä. Miten määriteltiin koulutettu nainen? Miten suhtauduttiin niin sanottuihin oppineisiin naisiin? Ja ennen kaikkea, mitä nämä seikat kertovat naiseuden määrittämisestä uuden ajan alussa? Koulutus ymmärretään tässä tutkielmassa laajasti tarkoittaen sekä kirjallista sivistystä että niitä käytännön taitoja, joita naiset tarvitsivat toimiakseen yhteiskunnassa ja perheensä jäseninä. Tähän jälkimmäiseen viitataan tutkielmassa kasvatuksen-käsitteellä. Tutkimus rajoittuu maantieteellisesti Englantiin. Uuden ajan alulla käsitetään väljästi ajanjakso 1500-luvulta 1700-luvun loppuun. Tutkimuksen fokuksessa on neljä englantilaista aatelisnaista 1600- ja 1700-luvuilta. Nämä naiset ovat lady Anne Clifford (1590–1676), lady Rachel Russell (1636–1723), lady Sarah Lennox (1745–1826) ja lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689–1762). Alkuperäisaineistona käytetään kolmelta viimeksi mainitulta julkaistua kirjeenvaihtokokoelmaa ja ensin mainitulta julkaistua päiväkirjaa. Tutkielma sijoittuu tieteellisessä kentässä sukupuolihistorian alaan. Sukupuolta tarkastellaan historiallisesti muuttuvana käsitteenä. Vaikka biologisilla seikoilla oli uuden ajan alussa merkittävä rooli sukupuolten välisten erojen määrittelyssä, sukupuoli ymmärretään tässä tutkielmassa ennen kaikkea sosiaaliseksi rakenteeksi. Sukupuoli on lisäksi performatiivinen. Sukupuolta uusinnetaan teoilla, sanoilla ja ulkoisella olemuksella. Vaikka sukupuolella oli suuri merkitys uuden ajan alun aateliskasvatuksessa, se ei yksinään määrittänyt naisten koulutuksen sisältöä. Myös säädyllä oli tässä tapauksessa suuri merkitys. Aatelisnainen edusti monessa suhteessa myös säätyään. Tämä tutkielma painottaa myös äitien suurta roolia lasten ja erityisesti tyttärien kasvatuksessa ja koulutuksessa. Sukupuoli asetti säädyn ohella ne reunaehdot, joiden sisällä yksilö saattoi toimia. Tutkielman esimerkkinaiset lisäksi itse määrittivät naisena olemisen rajoja muun muassa puuttumalla ja kommentoimalla aikalaistovereidensa käytöstä sekä arvioimalla omaansa.
