Diversity in the Irish workplace - lesbian women's experience as nurses (2010)

Diversity in the Irish workplace - lesbian women's experience as nurses (2010)

Duffy, Mel

Abstract:

Work is an area which represents an important part of people’s lives where they encounter the Other. It provides an individual with a sense of who they are in society, through their membership of communities. Through work, a lesbian woman’s identity has to be negotiated as private lives and public lives can overlap. For lesbian women, work and identity intersect, providing a coherent sense of accomplishment. Research has shown that lesbian women are aware of the attitudes that prevail about lesbian women in the health care environment as they encounter them in their working lives: homophobia; lack of social support and understanding leading to non-disclosure of their own sexuality. Lesbian nurses work within the institution of medicine that reflects societal heterosexual norms. The methodology derived from the qualitative tradition employing hermeneutic phenomenology. It presents an original conceptualisation and consistent application of theoretical frameworks of Heidegger and Sart...

Lesbian women's experience of coming out in an Irish hospital Setting: a hermeneutic phenomenological approach (2011)

Lesbian women's experience of coming out in an Irish hospital Setting: a hermeneutic phenomenological approach (2011)

Duffy, Mel

Abstract:

There is a dearth of knowledge about lesbian women’s lives and social experiences in Irish society. In their day to day living, lesbian women know how to act, react and behave to exist within society, having developed what Draucker (Journal of Advanced Nursing, 30(2), p. 361; 1999) calls ‘everyday skilful coping’. However, these taken-for-granted ways of understanding of being in the world are thrown or brought to the forefront when lesbian women seek health care. The overall aim of the research is to investigate lesbian women’s experiences of Irish health care as service users. Within this article, I will explore how four lesbian women understand and give meaning to ‘coming out’ to a health care provider. Coming out is a precarious affair whereby lesbian women choose when, where and to whom to relate their sexuality. The experiences of these women are explored by utilising Sartre’s (1969) concepts of being objectified by the Other, shame, freedom, illustrating how the self can be d...

Parents and/or young males’ beliefs, attitudes and opinions regarding male HPV Vaccine: a systematic review (2018)

Alhashimi, Ebtisam; Duffy, Mel

Abstract:

Objectives: To measure the acceptability, beliefs and attitudes on the Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine among adolescents and their parents. Methods: Relevant questionnaire-based articles, published in peer-reviewed journals, were retrieved from Medline (through Pubmed and EBSCO) and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) databases. The quality of shortlisted articles was assessed using the CEBMa checklist. Data were extracted and systematically reviewed. Results: Twelve studies (6529 survey participants) were included in the final analysis. The quality of included studies was high (most of the parameters were satisfied according to the CEBMa tool). Of the participants, 187 (2.86 %) were adolescent males, and the rest 6342 (97.14%) were parents of adolescent males. The knowledge of disease severity and benefits of vaccination was low among parents in all studies. The willingness to vaccinate adolescent males was higher among highly educated parents...

The journey through death and dying: families' experiences of end-of-life care in private nursing homes (2014)

Duffy, Mel; Courtney, Eileen

Abstract:

Research focusing on families’ experiences of end-of-life care in an Irish context is largely absent. In a recent comprehensive review of end-of-life care for older people in acute and long-stay care settings in Ireland, O’Shea et al (2008) excluded the perspective of families from the study. This study aims to reduce that deficit by exploring families’ experiences and perceptions of the end-of-life care received by their loved in the context of a private nursing home setting. The report is comprised of discussions on: methodology; review of existing literature and interpretation of the data gathered thorough interviews of relatives who admitted a family member to nursing homes. The data revealed how families noticed their loved ‘grow infirm, they age’ (Elias 1985 p.3) focusing on their journey through the ageing process. It uncovers the emotional journey of family members when they come to the realisation of the limitations of their ability to provide care for their loved ones. ...

The situation of younger people with disabilities living in nursing homes in Ireland - phase 1 (2018)

The situation of younger people with disabilities living in nursing homes in Ireland - phase 1 (2018)

Pierce, Mary; Kilcullen, Sophia; Duffy, Mel

Abstract:

This research is very timely given Ireland’s recent ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the imminent full commencement of the Assisted Decision Making (Capacity) Act, 2015 together with proposed legislation dealing with Deprivation of Liberty.1 Although the sample in the study is small, it offers valuable insights into the referral of, and pathways into nursing homes for younger people with disabilities. Whilst law and policy are centred on the enabling of people with disabilities to live the lives of their choosing in the community, the report notes that the supports to enable them to do so ‘are underdeveloped, unplanned and often not sufficient to meet their needs’. Instead of taking a human rights based, social model approach, which would look to the person’s will and preference, there is an overemphasis on the medical model in the assessment form. There is little focus on a person’s abilities, capabilities or on options for care in the c...
