Produktbeschreibung
Migraines
Migraine is a social illness, difficult to live
through without involving others because it affects
socially prescribed roles. The wider the circle of
contacts and responsibilities, the more potential for
impact on relationships and social roles. Looking in
the opposite direction, the social narratives of
culture, institutions, and families that surround the
individual often dictate how illness is viewed and
how migraine is viewed and treated. The women s
stories in this book reveal the personal side of
migraines, the moments of pain and despair rarely
seen. These women experienced the loneliness of
suffering, the alienation of stigma and labeling, the
fear of uncertainty, and the burden of chronicity. It
is evident that family experience with migraines can
be helpful to nurses in their work with women with
migraines at both an evidence based and an intuitive
level and in understanding the larger social issues
that influence formal policies and procedures. The
evocative nature of the representations in this book
illuminate the dynamics of nurse/person interactions
and the importance of the ethics of how our society
cares for our vulnerable members.
