Book excerpt: This volume illustrates the process of conducting interdisciplinary, multi-cultural research into the relationship between patient language use and chronic disease management. The ten chapters in this book provide a model for interdisciplinary research in health discourse from start to finish. Part I describes in detail the conceptualization and design of a multi-year research project exploring language use among people living with diabetes. Part II offers a sampler of a variety of qualitative, quantitative, and contrastive methodologies that have considerable potential in the study of health discourse. Part III brings the research process full circle by discussing issues related to adapting research protocols to diverse cultural contexts, translating results into practice, and working in interdisciplinary teams.

Book excerpt: Historians have long engaged with Roy Porter’s call for histories that incorporate patients’ voices and experiences. But despite concerted methodological efforts, there has simply not been the degree and breadth of innovation that Porter envisaged. Patients’ voices still often remain obscured. This has resulted in part from assumptions about the limitations of archives, many of which are formed of institutional records written from the perspective of health professionals. Patient voices in Britain repositions patient experiences at the centre of healthcare history, using new types of sources and reading familiar sources in new ways. Focusing on military medicine, Poor Law medicine, disability, psychiatry and sexual health, this collection encourages historians to tackle the ethical challenges of using archival material and to think more carefully about how their work might speak to persistent health inequalities and challenges in health-service delivery.

Download or read book The Patient's Voice written by Jeanine Young-Mason. This book was released on 2015-12-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: See the world through a patient’s eyes…from other side of illness. Pause to see the world beyond the scientific and clinical. Each chapter in the book provides a brief memoir recounting an experience of illness, written either by the patient, a member of the patient’s family, or an advocate for the patient within the medical, legal, or judicial system. As you share their experiences, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the importance of holistic, patient-centered care. Reviews of the 1st Edition… “...powerful stories...shed light on care giving, spiritual growth, altered self-concept and other aspects of chronic illness.”—ALS Newsletter on the Web “...speak about the most important things clearly, strongly as possible...to do anything else is precious waste of time.”—UMass Magazine “...these accounts...are deep reflections about living with afflictions, relationships, and interactions with the healthcare system.”—Nursing Spectrum "The Patient's Voice: Experiences of Illness is an outstanding collection of autobiographical essays. The 16 narratives, solicited specifically for this book, are skilfully written by both children and adults. The narratives themselves are intensely personal and powerful accounts of self understanding and human triumph over acute physical and psychiatric illness, and chronic disability. As the author notes in her preface, the contributors to The Patient's Voice are "known for their writing ability and the quality of their perceptions" (p. ix).This is a modest description, however, for the contributors are talented writers indeed."- Cathy Lysack, Wayne State University, Detroit MI

Book Synopsis The Dynamic Consultation by : Marisa Cordella

Download or read book The Dynamic Consultation written by Marisa Cordella. This book was released on 2004-10-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces a unique model of medical discourse that identifies the forms of talk – voices – that doctors and patients use during the consultation, and studies the dynamic interaction as it unfolds particularly in follow-up visits. Natural recordings, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and ethnographic observations provide the data for the research, which was carried out in an Outpatient Clinic in Santiago, Chile. Using an interactional sociolinguistic approach, analysis of the data identifies doctor–patient communication as a micro-performance of broader socio-cultural realities, in which social status, power, knowledge and personal beliefs and values all find expression in the consultative setting. Importantly, while both doctor and patient voices are shown to contribute to an essentially asymmetrical exchange, the study also identifies the holistic and empathic Fellow Human voice, which places doctors and patients on a more equal footing. In connection with this voice, the Spanish concept of simpatía is also discussed.While the model in this study was developed within a specific socio-cultural framework, it is hoped that it will be adapted and modified more widely and contribute to a better understanding between doctors and their patients.
