Are There Prisoners in This war?

Undergraduate nursing students’ stigma and recovery attitudes during mental health clinical placement: A pre/post‐test survey study

“…In the context of a power relationship, such as that between a nurse and a person with mental illness, stigma is defined as differences considered undesirable by the nurse, leading to labelling, stereotyping, separation, status loss, and discrimination of the person (Link & Phelan 2001). Nurses have been found to hold stigmatizing attitudes and beliefs towards people with mental illness (Ben Natan et al 2015;Fokuo et al 2017;Ordan et al 2018). The impact of healthcare provider or 'professional' stigma on consumers' recovery is wide-reaching, with a detrimental effect on the quality of care, and subsequently on consumers' illness experience, well-being, and outcomes (Bennett & Stennett 2015;Stuber et al 2014).…”

Nurses' Experiences of the Encounter With Elder Neglect

“…With growing awareness of elder mistreatment, research has expanded and has given a wider perspective to the prevalence of elder mistreatment in long-term care facilities (Ben-Natan, Lowenstein, & Eisikovits, 2010;Lindbloom, Brandt, Hough, & Meadows, 2007), and in hospitals (Fulmer et al, 2005). In long-and short-term facilities, as many as two thirds of elder mistreatment cases may involve neglect (Fulmer et al, 2005).…”

“…Pillemer (1988) developed a theoretical model for predicting causes of maltreatment including neglect in long-term geriatric care facilities. In addition, Aizen and Fishbein (1980) developed the Theory of Reasoned Ac-tion, which helps explain staff's decisions to mistreat older adults in such facilities (Ben-Natan et al, 2010).…”

Enemy parole

“…This discourse may be used to allow the board to avoid the treatment of security prisonersmost of them imprisoned for anti-army/police actionsas enemy soldiers who are subject to the laws of war. Instead, they are constructed as potential criminals that can be rehabilitated while neglecting the largely impossible task of doing so (Sebba 2011;Ben-Natan 2011).…”

“…Security prisoners are highly important in the Israeli-Palestinian socio-political discourse (Hajjar 2005). Israeli prisons are an ‘extremely important institution for Palestinian society’ and security prisoners are viewed as ‘captives’ or ‘freedom fighters’ in the eyes of the Palestinian public and as a site for acquiring valuable political knowledge and consciousness (Hajjar 2005: 207; see Ben-Natan 2011; Viterbo 2018). While Israel frequently describes the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a war, it has never accepted that security prisoners are ‘prisoners of war’ under international law, instead seeing their liberation struggle as illegitimate (Ben-Natan 2011).…”
