Understanding the health care pattern of homeless children through their residential journey

2021

En Île-de-France, l’hôtel social est souvent mobilisé par les associations pour héberger des familles, principalement migrantes et accompagnées d’enfants de moins de 6 ans. À cet âge, l’enfant nécessite un suivi de soins régulier auprès des professionnels pédiatriques. Nous supposons que ce suivi est dépendant de la mobilité résidentielle inhérente au système d’hébergement hôtelier. Cet article a pour objectif de reconstituer le parcours résidentiel des familles et le parcours de soins de leurs enfants et de saisir comment ces derniers s’influencent. La démonstration repose sur 18 entretiens biographiques spatialisés réalisés entre 2013 et 2016 auprès des familles sans logement hébergées en…

Processi resilienti e controversie culturali nel care leaving

2022

The work moves in the field of applied anthropology and addresses the issue of the resilience of care leavers: young people who, after a long stay within residential structures, are preparing to enter society at the age of eighteen. Considering that resilient processes are not without pitfalls and threats, some conceptual axioms are proposed that are useful for considering the multi-dimensionality and cultural relativity that revolve around the resilient process within residential communities. All this will take place within a socio-cultural research and intervention perspective based on participatory and bottom-up approaches aimed at encouraging negotiation practices and settings between m…

Tensions and resilience: the experiences of adult foster-care workers in Finland

2018

This article examines adult foster care for older people in Finland. This is a semi-formal service in which older people are cared for by foster carers who are remunerated for their work by the local municipality. In the article, the tensions and resources of resilience of foster-care work are analysed. The data consist of 12 thematic interviews with foster carers. The results suggest that foster-care work is emotionally draining and has adverse effects on social relationships. However, foster carers see caring as purposeful, they see themselves as professionals and they have enough social resources.

COPE-indeksillä mitatun omaishoitajan kuormittumisen tilan yhteys omaishoidettavan käyttämien sijaishoitopalveluiden määrään ja käytön useuteen

2013

On olemassa vahva yhteisymmärrys siitä, että ikääntyneen henkilön omaishoitaminen voi olla kuormittavaa. Omaishoitoa tuetaan erilaisilla sijaishoitopalveluilla. Niiden vaikutuksista omaishoitajien kuormittumiseen ei kuitenkaan olla yksimielisiä. Sijaishoitopalveluiden käyttömäärissä ja käytön useudessa on suuria vaihteluja omaishoidettavien välillä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää COPE-indeksiä (Carers of Older People in Europe, COPE index) apuna käyttäen, minkälainen on omaishoitajien kuormittumisen tila Jämsä-Kuhmoinen SoTe-yhteistoiminta-alueella. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa selvitetään, onko omaishoitajien kuormittumisen tila yhteydessä omaishoidettavan käyttämien sijaishoitopalv…

The roles of job and worker restructuring in aggregate wage growth dynamics

2019

We propose an approach for measuring and analyzing the dynamics of the standard aggregate wage growth of macro statistics with micro data. Our method decomposes the aggregate wage growth into the wage growth of job stayers and into various terms related to job and worker restructuring. This method produces explicit expressions with clear interpretations for the various restructuring components. Using comprehensive longitudinal employer–employee data, we study how job and worker restructuring influence the aggregate wage growth and its cyclicality. The results highlight the importance of drawing a sharp distinction between job and worker restructuring in the analysis of aggregate wage growth…

Good clinical response, remission, and predictors of remission in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with tumor necrosis factor-α blockers: The GI…

2007

OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of good clinical response and remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with longstanding disease treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) drugs at outpatient clinics. METHODS: Retrospective national study of 14 academic tertiary referral rheumatology medical centers. RA patients with a Disease Activity Score (DAS28) > 3.2 were defined as having active disease and could start TNF-alpha blockers. All patients received one TNF-alpha blocker plus methotrexate (10-20 mg/wk). At the third month the patients were categorized as responders or nonresponders, based on improvement of at least 0.25 of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ).…

Treatment approaches to patients with multiple sclerosis and coexisting autoimmune disorders.

2021

The past decades have yielded major therapeutic advances in many autoimmune conditions – such as multiple sclerosis (MS) – and thus ushered in a new era of more targeted and increasingly potent immunotherapies. Yet this growing arsenal of therapeutic immune interventions has also rendered therapy much more challenging for the attending physician, especially when treating patients with more than one autoimmune condition. Importantly, some therapeutic strategies are either approved for several autoimmune disorders or may be repurposed for other conditions, therefore opening new curative possibilities in related fields. In this article, we especially focus on frequent and therapeutically rele…
