JC Final Thesis 170919.Pdf AN INTERPRETATIVE PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY EXPLORING THE ATTITUDES OF FIRST-TIME MOTHERS TOWARDS SLEEP DEPRIVATION IN THE POSTPARTUM PERIOD JOANNE CHWALKO 2019 1 An interpretative phenomenological study exploring the attitudes of first time mothers towards sleep deprivation in the postpartum period Joanne Chwalko A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Professional Doctorate Department of Health Professions Manchester Metropolitan University 2019 2 ABSTRACT Background This study set out to explore first-time mother’s attitudes to sleep deprivation. During the transition to motherhood sleep deprivation is considered a ‘normal’ adjustment to motherhood. However, there is no evidence to suggest that new mothers are able to cope better with sleep deprivation or the detrimental impact on physical or psychological health compared to the population as a whole. Women often feel they should be able to manage the effects and are often unprepared for the reality when experiencing the effects. Methodology Guided by the philosophical assumptions of interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), this study explores the experience of maternal sleep deprivation through the voices of six first-time mothers. Testimonies were collected through face-to-face, semi-structured interviews during the postnatal period. Each testimony was analysed using Smith et al.’s (2009) IPA model. Findings Four main themes emerged: power of the professional, relationship with child, transition of self and idealism vs reality. Women’s attitudes were influenced by their sense of identity defined through their relationships with professionals, their child and previous role. Attitudes are influenced by relational care: the ability of professionals and mothers to connect, be compassionate and explore sleep deprivation in collaboration. Training professionals and mothers in mindfulness, particularly ‘being present’, may have a positive impact on women’s attitudes to sleep deprivation including their ability to develop appropriate coping strategies. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to begin by expressing my sincerest thanks to the women who participated in this study. I will be forever thankful for the trust placed in me to share their experiences with others. I would like to thank Dr Carol Taylor who created the opportunity for me to pursue my research study, and Professor Duncan Mitchell for his encouraging words during the early stages. Special thanks are given to my supervisors, Dr Kirsten Jack and Dr Christopher Wibberley who joined me on this journey at a crucial time personally. Their expertise, encouragement and support were invaluable. The study would not have been possible without the support of Wirral Community Trust and particular thanks goes to Viv Harrison who started out on this journey with me and is still offering words of encouragement as the study comes to an end. My thanks are extended to the Queens Nurse Institute, Florence Nightingale Fund, Worshipful Barbers Company and the Institute of Health Visiting, as without their support and inspiration I would not have been able to complete this research. I hope that there is an opportunity to use this thesis to promote the fantastic work they do. I also hope that nurses read this and feel motivated to undertake research themselves. Finally, and most importantly, I would like to acknowledge the unequivocal support from my husband Gary and children Adam and Sarah.

  • IV. Sweet Sleep: Rituals and Aids
    IV. Sweet Sleep: Rituals and Aids By Rabbi Elie Kaplan Spitz Rituals and Aids Before: Overview of Ritual and Sleep Aids Hashkeveinu Forgiveness Before Sleep Reciting Sh’ma on the Bed Caster of Sleep Aids for Better Sleep Optimal Temperature Jacob’s Monumental Pillow Lullaby as “Lillith Bye” Hebrew Lullabies Yiddish Lullabies Angels by My Side English Prayers and Lullabies Guided Meditations for Relaxation and Restful Sleep After: Lazybones Awaking with Gratitude: Modeh Ani A Woman’s Modeh Ani A Pure Soul The Miracle of a Functional Body Conclusion Overview: Rituals and Aids for Sleep Intentionality matters. The words we recite before sleep sets the path for our night journey. The words we utter upon awaking create awareness that shapes our wakefulness. Rituals and aids surrounding sleep have content that ripples inwardly and outwardly. Many of our small children at bedtime clutch a teddy bear or stroke a “blankie,” often while sucking a finger. Psychologist Donald Winnicott labeled such items of comfort “transitional objects.” For him the “transition” was from feeling merged with the mother to an awareness of separateness. The object was a substitute for the mother’s comforting presence and yet, not her. Some would reduce the rituals of nighttime to a transitional object, failing to value a ritual’s content. By analogy, although all love may be tied back to our initial love of mother, in our lives we mature and our love choices are marked by intervening relationships, psychological predisposition, and commitment. Rituals do offer constancy and evoke feelings of comfort and the words recited before and after sleep have their own inherent significance.

  • Suggestopaedia – Desuggestive Teaching
    SUGGESTOPAEDIA – DESUGGESTIVE TEACHING COMMUNICATIVE METHOD ON THE LEVEL OF THE HIDDEN RESERVES OF THE HUMAN MIND My personal belief is that human hidden reserves are endless. However, science has reached an understanding that they are far larger than currently realized?. (Dr. G. Lozanov?s speech at the meeting of the twenty UNESCO experts,1978) (Actually, the beginning of a new science reservology , i.e. tenderly use the oppressed capabilities we have in our minds, starts. Instead of suggestopaedia in the future the science and the methodology will be called reservopaedia.) In the very early stage when the present book was started, Bill Munro and Lupe, San Diego, U.S.A, were very kind to edit it and to advice me for some topics. Five years later when the book was enlarged Czeslawa Rudawska, Katowice, Poland, was very kind to edit it. It was very kind of Keneward Hill, Sofia, Bulgaria, to edit the book before publishing. The parts of the book about the latest development of suggestopaedia-desuggestive teaching were translated by Radostina Ivanova Mihaleva, Sofia, Bulgaria. 1 I kindly express gratitude to Professor Setsuko Iki, Tokyo, Japan, for her help with providing me with favourable conditions for writing.

Dad got me a Happy meal and I tried to ignore the incredible irony there, and when I was going to get ketchup, I asked Dad if he needed a straw. It was my first time talking since leaving the hospital, so he proceeded to cry in the middle of the busy fast-food restaurant. He never did get a straw. Which is why now, on my second day of freedom, I decide that it’s better to keep my mouth shut. For instance, he’s sitting much too close to me on the vinyl couch. It’d be perfectly reasonable for me to tell him that he has plenty of space to move over, since we’re the only two people in the waiting area.

  • The Representation of Poetic Faith Through Time-Based Media
    Suspension of Disbelief The representation ofpoetic faith through tillle-based llledia Matthew Warren MFA, Simon Fraser University, BC, Canada Grad Dip. Art Craft and Design, University of Tasmania BFA, University of Tasmania Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania October 2009 Statement of originality I declare that this thesis presents my own original work and contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by any university or other institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, it incorporates no material previously published by another person except where acknowledged in the text. Matthew Wan·en October 2009 Statement on Authority of Access This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Matthew Warren October 2009 Abstract Samuel Taylor Coleridge described a suspension of disbelief as "poetic faith". In a contemporary environment, is it possible to have an experience of childlike or innocent wonder? Are we so cynical, so sceptical or so 'knowing', that a sublime experience, a sense of poetic faith at the beginning of the 21 sr century is impossible? A secular, materialistic existence may well point to the answer being no. However, even within such an existence, it is possible to realise that although one's knowledge base may increase with age, there is still much 'out there' that is not understood; that within the realms of the unknown, there are potentially profound experiences waiting to be had. There is a multitude of energies and entities surrounding us, invisible to the eye and silent to the ear.
