Vad är hälsa för kvinnliga internflyktingar i Georgien. En kvalitativ studie om begreppet hälsa bland kvinnliga internflyktingar i Georgien. Examensarbete, 15 högskolepoäng. Omvårdnad, Malmö högskola: Hälsa och Samhälle, Utbildningsområde omvårdnad, 2010. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka begreppet hälsa bland kvinnliga georgiska internflyktingar (Internal Displaced People, IDP). Detta är en empirisk studie med en kvalitativ metod som bygger på semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Sammanlagt sju IDP kvinnor i staden Zugdidi i Georgien deltog. Dataanalysen var inspirerad av Burnard's (1991) innehållsanalys, och resulterade i två kategorier: 1) Upplevelsen av kontroll med underrubrikerna Social situation, Familj och Avsaknad av pengar och 2) Upplevelsen av identitet med underrubrikerna Ursprung, Anpassningsförmåga och Självkänsla. Dessa är alla avgörande faktorer för att deltagarna skall kunna leva ett liv med värdighet och kontroll; båda viktiga faktorer för hälsan. Marmots teori om sociala bestämningsfaktorer för hälsa har influerat dataanalys och kategorisering. Ytterligare studier i detta ämne skulle vara av värde för att vägleda sjukvården i hur man bättre kan arbeta förebyggande samt möta behoven hos kvinnliga internflyktingar samt internationella flyktingar.

What is health for female IDP’s in Georgia. A qualitative study on the concept of health of female IDP’s in Georgia. Degree project, 15 Credit Points. Nursing, Malmö University: Health and Society, Department of Nursing, 2010. The aim of this study was to examine the health concept of Georgian female IDP´s. This is an empirical study with a qualitative approach based on semi-structured interviews. In total seven IDP women in the city of Zugdidi in Georgia participated. The data analysis was inspired by Burnard’s (1991) content analysis, and resulted in two categories: 1) The experience of Control with the sub-headings Social Situation, Family and Lack of money and 2) The experience of Identity with the sub-headings Origin, Ability to cope and Self-worth. These are all crucial factors for the participants to lead a life with dignity and in control, which are important for having health. Marmot’s theory on social determinants of health has influenced the data analysis and categorization. Further studies on this subject would be of value to guide the healthcare system in how to better prevent and meet the needs of female IDP’s and refuges. Keywords: Concept of health, Control, Georgia, Identity, Internal Displaced People, Marmot, Qualitative study, Women. 4 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 7 BACKGROUND 8 Historical Overview 8 Theoretical Framework 8 What is Health? 9 Living as a Female IDP 10 Coping with the Situation 11 Meeting Refugees 11 AIM 12 Definitions 12 METHOD 12 The Participants 12 Data Collection 13 Data Analysis 14 Credibility 16 Preconception 17 ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS 17 RESULT 18 Experience of Control 18 Social Situation 19 Family 19 Lack of Money 20 Experience of Identity 21 Origin 22 Ability to Cope 22 Self-worth 23 DISCUSSION 23 Method Discussion 23 The Participants 24 Data Collection 24 Data Analysis 25 Preconception 26 Result Discussion 26 Experience of Control 27 5 Experience of Identity 29 CONCLUSION 32 Model Presenting the Concept of Health 33 Further Research and Value of the Study 33 REFERENCES 34 APPENDIX 37 Appendix I 38 Appendix II 39 Appendix III 40 6 INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to examine the health concept of female Internal Displaced People’s (IDP'’) in the Georgian city of Zugdidi. IDP’s refers to persons who have been dislocated from their homes as a result of an armed conflict, and whom have not crossed an international border (IDMC). This study was done with the ambition to give social workers and health personnel working among these women a better notion of where to put their effort. The study was performed by interviewing seven IDP women concerning their concept of health. The study was carried out in the refugee settlements in the area in and around Zugdidi, with the support from the Non Governmental Organization (NGO) Gaenati. Gaenati have projects in the Community center, where the IDP´s live. Gaenati have different projects in the Community centers, trying to provide the IDP’s with tools to help them cope with their situation (Kvinna till Kvinna,730). The contact with Gaenati was established through the Swedish organization “Kvinna till Kvinna”, a foundation with the objective to support women in war-affected areas (Kvinna till Kvinna, 388). According to the ethical code for nurses (ICN, 2005) a nurse is obligated to promote, as well as improve, patients’ health (a a). In order to follow this guideline it’s central to recognize all patients’ specific needs, and approach to health. In Sweden today nurses meet many patients with different social background and cultural inherence. To give the patients the healthcare required we find it important for nurses to have information on different views of health, as well as the knowledge about various lived experiences of health. Further the nurse ought to endorse a society where human rights are respected and efforts are taken to improve the health and social situation of marginalized groups (ICN, 2005). Refugees is generally a marginalized group, and according to UNHCR (Solheim, 2005) IDP’s is one of the largest vulnerable populations in the world, with a crucial impact on their health (a a). In Zugdidi there is 16453 IDP’s living in different refugee settlements, so called Collective centers (Ministry of Refugees and Accommodation, 2009). These centers are of different quality and located in various parts of the area in and around Zugdidi. Access to food markets depends on the centers location. Many of the centers in the suburbs of Zugdidi are far from the places to buy food and other necessities for a healthy life. These IDP’s have to take the bus into Zugdidi. The bus to get to market and back is 1 Georgian Lari (GEL). The IDP’s get 28 GEL per month from the government (Gaenati, 2008). All IDP’s in Georgia get an insurance card in order to use for the healthcare. From what we’ve experienced when discussing with IDP’s, the healthcare provided this card is very poor. In order to get better healthcare they would have to pay, as well as to get the medicine prescribed by the doctor. The situation for the IDP’s in Zugdidi appear in many ways poor, and so far it seems like very little is written concerning the issue of female IDP’s concept of health in the area. BACKGROUND 7 The whole Caucasus is a region burdened with ethnic and religious conflicts, both historically and in present time (Burke, 2004). In Georgia today, there are many ethnic Georgians who fled from the regions South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and whom now live as IDP’s in refugee settlements in different parts of the country. In Zugdidi in specific there are in total 46388 refugees, 16453 of these living in so called Collective centers (Ministry of Refugees and Accommodation, 2009). Living as an IDP has a crucial impact on health, both physical and psychological, and women are especially vulnerable (Rehn&Sirleaf 2002). Historical Overview Georgia is located in the southern part of the Caucasus region. Since the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990´s violence and conflicts has been an ever present element in the region (Babtjenko, 2009). At the time of the breakdown of the Soviet Union the three republics Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Adzhazia declared themselves independent, and no longer a part of the Soviet-republic Georgia. The president of Georgia tried to annex his protectorate in late 1991, which led to war with Abkhazia and South Ossetia (Babtjenko, 2009). In September 1992 a ceasefire was agreed upon, and in 1994 the parts came to a US-sponsored peace agreement (Burke, 2004). The main concern in the conflict is of land, resulting in a situation with different ethnic groups harassing each other. This has led to a violent situation for the people, even in between the wars (a a). Since the peace agreement in 1994 the situation in the area is tense, and in the beginning of August 2008 a new war broke out (Babtjenko, 2009). Georgian forces went into South Ossetia on the 8th of August 2008 and Russian forces struck back to protect the Russian citizens in South Ossetia. The war lasted for about five days, and Russian soldiers also extended to Abkhazia during this time. The number of Russian soldiers remained in Abkhazia and was extended to a higher number than agreed upon during the ceasefire, thus Russia has now the military control over Abkhazia (Kvinna till Kvinna, 728). Before the war 2008 there were over 200.000 internal displaced persons (IDP’s) in Georgia, and during August 2008 this number largely increased (Mathisen, 2008). From the conflict with Abkhazia in the beginning of the 90’s, there still remains 46388 IDP’s in the Zugdidi region (Ministry of Refugees and Accommodation, 2009).

  • Fighting for Girls
    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 1 INTRODUCTION Meda Chesney-Lind and Nikki Jones A decade into the twenty-fi rst century, it seems like the news about girls is increasingly alarming. Of course, we’ve always had “bad” girls. Longfel- low, no less, penned, that “when she was good she was very good indeed, and when she was bad, she was horrid” (Longfellow, 2004). In the waning decades of the twentieth century, though, the public was jolted by media images of “gangster” girls, every bit as menacing as their urban male coun- terparts, often pictured glaring at the world over the barrel of a gun. The new century also introduced us to suburban “mean” girls, manipulating and backstabbing their way to popularity, and now, only a few years later, it seems as though our mean girls have suddenly turned violent. YouTube videos of brawling cheerleaders make local and national news and “go viral” on the Web where they are viewed by thousands. Do we really need to worry about girls causing “savagery in the suburbs” (Meadows & Johnson, 2003: 37), as a 2003 headline in Newsweek warned? It would certainly seem so if you picked up recent trade books like See Jane Hit (Garbarino, 2006) and Sugar and Spice and No Longer Nice (Prothrow-Stith & Spivak, 2005), which purport to advise parents and teachers on what to do about girls’ violence while also fueling public unease about modern girlhood. Given the high level of public and academic interest in girls’ use of violence and aggression, it is actually remarkable that so little careful academic work has been made available to those concerned with the facts and not the hype.

Miller University of Delaware Michelle L. Meloy Rutgers University Following changes in law enforcement policies that encourage or mandate arrest of domestic violence offenders, a concomitant increase in women arrested and mandated to batterer treatment programs has resulted. Most research findings, however, suggest that heterosexual intimate violence is gendered, with abuse, power, and control wielded by men over their female partners, and that when women use violence, it is typically in self- defense or for nonaggressive reasons. However, few studies have investigated the female batterer treatment programs and the context of the women’s use of violence.

Drawing on the work of Hannah Arendt and Jean Elshtain, the Q4 chapter argues that Whedon’s exploration of the relationship between women and violence suggests ways in which to reconsider the consequences and responsibilities—as well as potentials—for women’s use of violent means to oppose systemic oppression.

  • When She Was Bad 1St Edition Kindle
    WHEN SHE WAS BAD 1ST EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Gabrielle Brant Freeman | 9781941209479 | | | | | When She Was Bad 1st edition PDF Book These drawings of rabbits and mice were sold to illustrate books of verses. This sounds right up my street. In fact the whole book is so poorly written, it would not surprise me to learn that Ms Cohen is a teenager writing her first novel. Also good. Although sympathetically portrayed, this part of the story did make for uncomfortable reading at times. The book is full of twists and turned and I had enormous fun trying to work out who would be the victim and who would be the perpetrator. It is also a story of the long term ramifications of child abuse. On one side we have a dark event from the past, on the other we have a group of people who work together in seeming harmony until an ambitious and ruthless boss upsets their status quo. The second strand tells the story of the sales department of London based company Mark Hamilton Recruitment and begins with former boss Gill drowning her sorrows in the aftermath of her dismissal. That means this is the first version of the text published. See for yourself A late starter to fiction - and to other things besides - she has now written four novels. When she is alerted by a friend that some When She Was Bad is a two strand story — initially beginning in America but with the main chapters set around a London recruitment agency. This review was originally posted on my book blog.

  • Slayage 1: Wandless
    William Wandless Undead Letters: Searches and Researches in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Buffy, I have volumes of lore, of prophecies and predictions. But I don’t have an instruction manual. We feel our way as we go along. And I must admit, as a Slayer you’re doing pretty well. —Rupert Giles, in “Never Kill a Boy on the First Date” (1) Buffy the Vampire Slayer banks on a very simple premise: folks dig research. Admittedly, they also love brushes with the supernatural, snappy dialogue, trendy clothes, pretty people, sweltering smoochies, and the occasional bleached-blonde British vampire, but nothing pulls them in like an overhead shot of a man in tweed thumbing through a dusty, leather-bound book. Sadly, squeezing all the requisite trappings of vampire-slaying into forty-five minutes of television time places severe limitations on how much research work can be depicted in each episode. To keep viewers coming back for more, the series teases them with only a few scant moments of tantalizing page-turning per week. (2) Over the course of four seasons, however, the nature of those moments—and the surrounding narrative content which reflects and is reflected in them—has changed dramatically. While Giles and the Sunnydale High School Library formerly centralized and localized the Scooby Gang’s researches for the majority of the first three seasons, their methods and their measures have gradually expanded and adjusted to enable them to understand phenomena and combat adversaries well beyond the realm of everyday vampire-slaying. Research once offered Buffy the Vampire Slayer a degree of internal unity: the team rendezvous in the library regularly served as a kind of familiar, and often comfortingly familial, intermission between an initial encounter with a threat and the informed response to follow.
