Institutional care for seniors offers a cultural repository for fears and hopes about an aging population. Although enormous changes have occurred in how institutional care is structured, the legacies of the poorhouse still persist, creating panicked views of the nursing home as a dreaded fate. The paradoxical nature of a space meant to be both hospital and home offers up critical tensions for examination by age studies scholars. The essays in this book challenge stereotypes of institutional care for older adults, illustrate the changes that have occurred over time, and illuminate the continuities in the stories we tell about nursing homes.

Ob Einmalhandschuh oder High-Tech-Gerät - Dinge spielen in Pflege und Care eine große Rolle. Doch wie tragen sie dazu bei, Pflege und Care zu konstituieren? Wie werden gesellschaftliche Vorstellungen und Ordnungen in Pflegedinge eingeschrieben und welchen Einfluss haben umgekehrt Gegenstände bei deren Entstehung? Solche von der Forschung bislang vernachlässigten Fragen rückt der Band in den Fokus. Die Beiträger_innen zeigen auf, wie Menschen und Dinge in unterschiedlichen historischen und gegenwärtigen Settings von Pflege und Care interagieren und wie Objekte dazu beitragen können, Normalität, Nähe oder Wissen herzustellen bzw. zu verhindern. Mit Fotografien von Thomas Bruns.

Die Institutionalisierung des Lebensendes zwischen Wissenschaft und Lebenswelt

Author: Willibald J. Stronegger,Kristin Attems

Publisher: Nomos Verlag

ISBN: 3845293195

Category: Philosophy

Page: 238

Die Gestaltung des Lebensendes ist zunehmend von Institutionalisierung, Technisierung und Ökonomisierung geprägt. Die Beiträge des Sammelbands gehen in drei Teilen der Frage nach, wie unter diesen Bedingungen ein Umgang mit Sterben und Tod zu gewährleisten ist, welcher der Individualität und Würde der Person gerecht wird. Im ersten Teil wird aus sozial-, politik-, rechts-, und alternswissenschaftlicher Perspektive der Kontext der Institutionalisierungen des Lebensendes thematisiert. Der zweite Teil untersucht konkrete Institutionalisierungsprozesse im Bereich der Versorgungsstrukturen als auch der Regularien (u.a. gesetzliche Vertretung am Lebensende, Leitlinie zur palliativen Sedierung), jeweils im Hinblick auf das Spannungsfeld von Standardisierungsanforderungen und individuellen Bedürfnissen. Der dritte Teil stellt die Frage nach den Grenzen der Institutionalisierung anhand des Anspruchs von Ganzheitlichkeit in der Betreuung und deliranter Phänomene im Sterbeprozess. Mit Beiträgen von Anna Durnová, Christof S. Eisl, Angelika Feichtner, Reimer Gronemeyer, Ulla Kriebernegg, Elisabeth Medicus, Karin Reinmüller, Walter Schaupp, Willibald J. Stronegger, Dietmar Weixler.

Immigrant Women Tell Their Stories

Author: Roni Berger

Publisher: Routledge

ISBN: 131778782X

Category: Political Science

Page: 284

“I felt like an alien who fell down to earth, not understanding the rules of the game, making all the possible mistakes, saying all the wrong things.” “Your whole life is in the hands of other people who do not always mean well and there is nothing you can do about it. They can decide to send you away and you have no control.” “The moment I enter the house, I shelve my American self and become the 'little obedient wife' that my husband wants me to be.” “The most difficult part is to find myself again. At the beginning I lost myself.” This jargon-free book documents and analyzes the experience of immigration from the female perspective. It discusses the unique challenges that women face, offers insights into the meanings of their experiences, develops gender-sensitive knowledge about immigration, and discusses implications for the effective development and provision of services to immigrant women. With fascinating case studies of immigration to the United States, Australia, and Israel as well as helpful lists of relevant organizations and Web site/Internet addresses, Immigrant Women Tell Their Stories is for everyone who wants to learn or teach about immigration, especially its female face. “It was like somebody sawed my heart in two. One part remained in Cuba and one part here.” Immigrant Women Tell Their Stories examines the nature of immigration for women through the eyes of those who have experienced it: how they perceive, interpret, and address the nature of the experience, its multiple aspects, the issues that it presents, and the strategies that immigrant women develop to cope with those issues. The women in this extraordinary book came from different spots around the globe, speak different languages and dialects, and their English comes in different accents. They vary in age as well as in cultural, ethnic, social, educational, and professional status. They represent a rainbow of family types and political opinions. In spite of their diversity, all these women share immigration experience. This book provides an understanding of the journeys they traveled and the experiences they lived to bring you new insights into what it means to immigrate as a woman and to frame effective strategies for working with—and for—immigrant women. “My father is the head of the house. When he decided to move to America [from India] my mother and us, the daughters, did not have much say. My mother and I were not happy at all, but it did not matter.” Immigrant Women Tell Their Stories provides you with historical and global perspectives on immigration and addresses: legal, political, economic, social, and psychological dimensions of immigration and its aftermath deconstructing immigration by age, gender, and circumstances major issues of immigrant women—language, mothering, relationships and marriage, finding employment, assimilation (how much and how soon), loneliness, and more resilience in immigrant women immigration from a lesbian perspective guidelines for the development and delivery of services to immigrant women “You may say that I am the bridge, the desert generation that lost the chance to have it my way. But I will do my best to raise my daughters to have more choices than I.” In this well-referenced book, immigrant women from Austria, Bosnia, Cuba, various parts of the former Soviet Union, Guatemala, India, Israel, Lebanon, Mexico, Pakistan, and the Philippines tell us their stories, recount what their experiences entailed and what challenges they posed, and teach us ways to help them cope successfully. “This was the best decision we could have made and the best thing we had ever done.”

Aging Is Living

Myth-Breaking Stories from Long-Term Care

Author: Irene Borins Ash,Irv Ash

Publisher: Dundurn

ISBN: 9781770705104

Category: Family & Relationships

Page: 204

Through the inspirational, wise, and informative stories of the residents, either in their own words or based on interviews, and environmental photographs of each, this book focuses on various residents of long-term care facilities and especially on the positive facets of their life, their thoughts, and their feelings. The only issue that reaches the media about nursing homes is the negative and unfortunate events that sometimes occur, but there is so much more to the story. Most people are afraid of long-term care homes because they recognize that it is the last phase in their life - it is the step before death. But some people have years from the time they enter the home until they die. This book shows how many men and women make the best of their situation - often leaving a positive legacy for family and friends - and how these can be fulfilling and quality years.
