Abstract

"The building of supranational spaces, strongly segmented, underscores both the new outlooks of the migratory phenomenon and the growing human mobility into protected spaces. The current mutations of socio-economical structures are supported by three main effects introducing on migratory dynamics: the planetary demographic growth and its spatial distribution, the widespread marketing links, the technological and the new media revolution. The time is ripe to argue about a global discourse on migration, i.e. literally about ¿migratology', which would allow the understanding of migratory modernity according to the contemporary ¿societal' mutations and the consequential evolution of its two basic analytical references: ¿space-time' and 'flows-stock'. Eventually the question of the epistemological existence of a scientific identity for the migration theme is clearly stated by this approach." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)

Information-sharing among couples considering multifetal pregnancy reduction.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the information-sharing strategies of couples considering fetal reduction, and the impact of these strategies on the chances of encountering hostility in their social networks. DESIGN: Cross-sectional design of semistructured qualitative interviews, coded with respect to sharing strategies and level of personally directed hostility encountered. SETTING: Multiple Pregnancy Management Program, Comprehensive Genetics, New York, New York. PATIENT(S) AND INTERVENTION(S): Fifty women and their partners who were making a first visit to our maternal-fetal management facility, in order to consider the possibility of multifetal reduction as a pregnancy-management strategy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Development of information-sharing strategies, and the chances of encountering personally directed hostility regarding multifetal reduction associated with more and less selective strategies. RESULT(S): Four information-sharing strategies emerged from the analysis. Two of these strategies were relatively open (extended network, and both parents). Two other strategies were relatively selective (qualified family and friends, and defended relationship). The selective strategies were significantly less likely to encounter to encounter personally directed hostility (odds ratio, 3.88; 95% confidence intervals, 0.87-17.30). CONCLUSION(S): Selective sharing of information for couples considering multifetal prgnancy reduction is a potentially useful strategy for moderating potentially stressful relationships in their social networks. Clinics should find a way of integrating the discussion of selective sharing into their clinic's cultural repertoire of patient-support services.
