Using interpretive methods to understand family caregiving when a child is blind.

Interpretive research methods can enhance nursing practice with families caring for a child with a chronic illness or handicapping condition by providing an understanding of the family caregiving experience based on an interpretation of the meanings, practices and concerns of family caregivers themselves. In this article, the authors give an introductory overview to interpretive research and a discussion of its contributions to family nursing, using an illustration taken from an interpretive study of the family experience of caring for a blind child.

Human response to loss.

The evolutionary nature of the practice-relevant theory of human response to loss is presented with emphasis on how practice has modified some of the original notions. The applicability of the theory for clinical practice with adults, children and families experiencing a death or divorce is also explored.

Managing incontinence: women's normalizing strategies.

Women's strategies for managing urinary incontinence were examined in a grounded-theory study. The women's basic social concern was dealing with incontinence in a manner that enabled them to feel normal. Feeling normal meant being able to do what they wanted to do and needed to do to have a normal life-style as they perceived it. This goal was accomplished by normalizing incontinence and its management. Normalization was achieved by directing its course through self-management, accounting for it in terms of personal history and life experiences, and delaying medical counsel. These strategies are described. The findings provide fresh insights about women's response to incontinence and their practice of self-managing its consequences.
