Abstract

Background: Social networking sites (SNS) have emerged as digital settings for youth participation and health promotion. Understanding the complex dynamic of analog/digital participation has become crucial for settings-based health promotion strategies that aim to enable people to increase control over their health and environments. Previous research demonstrates that SNS influence young people’s health in complex ways, but less is known about how processes related to intersectionality are reflected in digital settings. This study asked the following question: how do young women with immigrant backgrounds experience and navigate SNS and how can this inform settings-based health promotion strategies? Methods: The study included three focus groups with 15 women aged 16–26 years and used thematic content analysis. Findings and conclusion: Young women with immigrant backgrounds reported that transnational networks provided a sense of belonging. However, their presence on SNS strengthened negative social control and had consequences for endeavors to connect with local peers in both digital and analog settings. Both challenges and resources were amplified. The participants reported that sharing strategies to navigate complex networks was useful; they emphasized the importance of anonymous chats, they shared health-related information with extended networks with lower e-literacy, and they saw opportunities for the cocreation of health promotion strategies. Keywords: social networking sites; social media; digital health promotion; restrictive parenting; negative social control; settings-based health promotion

9. Tilnærminger til kollektiv mobilisering innen samfunnsarbeid, sosialt entreprenørskap og folkehelsearbeid

Author

Larsen, Anne Karin, Ågotnes, Gudmund, and Agdal, Rita

Abstract

The COVID-19-pandemic and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals represent societal challenges that require novel solutions, not only from national governments, supranational organisations, local communities and individuals, but also in the form of cooperation across professional groups and social areas. Community work, social entrepreneurship and public health are all disciplines that deal with societal challenges characterised by complexity. They are not, consequently, preoccupied with specific, isolated service areas or sectors, nor can they be placed within them. As professional disciplines, they have different origins and trajectories, but share a focus on development, co-creation and collective mobilisation linked to social, health-related, and environmental conditions. From the vantage point of the three disciplines, the chapter provides examples of how collective mobilisation can start both from state and supranational organisations, but also from individuals and local initiatives often based on specific events or oppressive conditions. Nevertheless, commonalities are to be found in how collective mobilisation is predicated on a willingness to cooperate and has an inherent goal of ensuring sustainable development leading to significant results for participants. Collaboration and sustainability serve as analytical turning points when we discuss whether methods aimed at achieving sustainable results are shared or different in the three disciplines. The chapter sheds light on the ways in which the disciplines complement each other and the roles they play as actors within the welfare state.

10. Samfunnsarbeid i digitale nabolag: Tre perspektiver på unge kvinner med innvandrerbakgrunn sine vilkår for deltakelse på sosiale nettverkssider

Abstract

This chapter explores the conditions for participation on social networking sites (SNS) for young women with immigrant background. SNS provide social arenas and potential communities. To shed light on the conditions for participation on SNS we employ three perspectives: from Paulo Freire, who has been central to community work; from danah boyd, who brings a media studies perspective; and Robert Putnam's perspectives that have been vital in both disciplines. Understanding conditions for participation is crucial to community work and community development, as mobilisation of citizens is integral to their practice. In media studies, the understanding of SNS is that the framework for participation is a result of the intersection of people, technology and practice. We discuss how these perspectives bring out different aspects of conditions for participation on SNS and how they may enrich each other.

23. Diverse and Changing Perceptions of the Body: Communicating Illness, Health, and Risk in an Age of Medical Pluralism.

Abstract

There has been a marked increase in the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the West since the 1970s. However, biomedicine is still prevailing within public health services and health services covered by private insurance. Different therapies, conventional and CAM, represent different perceptions of the the body. Perceptions of the body are closely related to perceptions of illness, health, disease, and risk. The cultural models of the body are related to social organization and the development of technologies. In a study on spiritual healers and their clients in Norway, I found that clients adapted to a multitude of medical regimes by processes of recognition through cognitive models, learning, and socialization. I describe five models that are evident in communication between healers and clients; the model of the body as machine, plumbing system, energetic, programmable, and as wireless network. People hold diverse perceptions of health, illness, body, and risk, which influence attitudes and behavior. Changes in perceptions of body, health, and illness may be one factor enforcing that CAM is increasingly becoming a first-line intervention. Health authorities meet this challenge emphasizing the regulation of CAM to safeguard patients but could also choose to focus on what clients define as their needs. The shift in cultural understandings of the body, and how people cope with this diversity, ought to be an area for further investigation, as it may affect the choices citizens make and the legitimacy of health authorities.

Abstract

Background: This article explores the evidence base of efficacy and effectiveness of 'energy healing' for cancer patients. The term 'energy healing' refers to a wide variety of therapies which are based on the premise that the healer transfers energy to the patient. Among the most researched forms of energy healing are reiki, therapeutic touch and healing touch., Material and Methods: PubMed, AMED, JStor, Social Science Citation Index and PsycInfo databases were searched, and articles were rated according to the SIGN (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network) quality scale. Six quantitative and two qualitative studies on the efficacy and effectiveness of energy healing for cancer patients met the inclusion criteria., Results: None of the studies are of a size or quality that allows to draw reliable conclusions. The results of the studies are, however, interesting and should be considered when developing new studies and hypotheses on working mechanisms., Conclusion: The existing research does not allow conclusions regarding the efficacy or effectiveness of energy healing. Future studies should adhere to existing standards of research on the efficacy and effectiveness of a treatment, and given the complex character of potential outcomes, cross-disciplinary methodologies may be relevant. To extend the scope of clinical trials, psychosocial processes should be taken into account and explored, rather than dismissed as placebo., (Copyright © 2011 S. Karger AG, Basel.)
