Methadone maintenance treatment as social control: Analyzing patient experiences
AbstractMethadone maintenance treatment (MMT) is a harm reduction approach for persons who wish to stop using opioids and is rather effective if used for a minimum of 12 months. Notably, research demonstrates that many persons enrolled in MMT programs discontinue care before this time, limiting its effects. To better understand this process, we undertook an exploratory descriptive qualitative study and interviewed 12 men and women who were using MMT. Using the the oretical work of Foucault and Hardt and Negri, the interview data highlighted that MMT continues to be strongly stigmatized, and that it is a system of care th...

Bad news: Families ’ experiences and feelings surrounding the diagnosis of Zika‐related microcephaly
In this study, we used techniques generic to netnography, a form of ethnography, using Internet ‐based computer‐mediated communications as a source of data to understand the experience and perceptions of families with infants diagnosed with Zika‐related microcephaly. We screened 27 YouTube™ videos published online between October 2015 and July 2016, during which the Zika epidemic start ed, peaked, and declined. We identified three themes: (a) experiencing the news of a diagnosis of Zika‐associated microcephaly; (b) experiencing feelings and expectations of the ‘imperfect’ child; and (c) seeking to understand ...

Nursing perspectives on Integral Theory in nursing practice and education: An interpretive descriptive study
AbstractWhile for decades nursing has advocated for theory ‐informed practice, more recent attention has tended to focus on mid‐range theory rather than the earlier focus on developing grand theory to encompass all of nursing practice. However, there has been continued interest in the holistic nursing community on grand theory and, in particular, on Int egral Theory. Although Integral Theory's four‐quadrant (AQAL) perspective is familiar in nursing, little is known about how it is being used by nurses in direct practice. The purpose of this interpretive descriptive study was to provide a practice‐based perspective ...

A conceptual framework for clinicians working with artificial intelligence and health ‐assistive Smart Homes
We present a conceptual framework that is grounded in critical realism and pragmatism, informing a unique mixed methodological approach to generating, analyzing, and contextualizing sensor data for clinician‐based machine learning. This framework can guide nurse scientists in knowledge construction as they participate in multidisciplinary health‐assistive Smart Home and artificial intelligence research. In this paper, we review philosophical underpinnings and explicate how this framework can guide nurse scientists collaborating with engineers to develop intelligent health‐ass istive Smart Homes. It is critical that c...

Invisibility of the self: Reaching for the telos of nursing within a context of moral distress
AbstractMany studies have examined clinical and institutional moral problems in the practice of nurses that have led to the experience of moral distress. The causes and implications of moral distress in nurses, however, have not been understood in terms of their implications from the perspective of virtue ethics. This paper analyzes how nurses reach for thetelos of their practice, within a context of moral distress. A qualitative case study was carried out in a private hospital in Brazil. Observation and semi ‐semistructured interviews were conducted with 13 nurse participants. With the aid of ATLAS.ti software, the data...
