“…In addition, researchers have engaged this topic, both quantitatively (e.g., Barge & Schlueter, 2004;Holladay, 2002; and qualitatively (e.g., Ford & Ellis, 1998;Keeley, 2004;Knapp et al, 1981;Stohl, 1986) in research studies. Unlike existing research, we adopt narratology to study how meaning is generated through memorable experience narratives (e.g., Manoogian et al, 2010). Given the exploratory nature of our study, we utilize it as an interpretive lens to gain insight into the following two research questions: RQ1: When college students name their first sexual experience as a ''memorable'' experience, what themes emerge within positive, negative, and neutral frames?…”

“…Narratology, according to Browning (2009), is the ''study and theory of narratives, or complex stories-what they are made of, how they are structured, and what we gain from using them as a vehicle for communication'' (p. 673). Treating descriptions of memorable experiences through narratives is consistent with qualitative methodology that adopts a humanistic approach to communication research (Bute & Jensen, 2011;Manoogian, Harter, & Denham, 2010). Accordingly, we seek to explore memorable experiences, and the messages that are associated with them, through stories that hold special meaning and contain important life lessons (Browning, 2009).…”

This exploratory qualitative research study examined college students' memorable narratives regarding their first sexual experience, and how those encounters inform current sexual practices. Drawing from a large national data set, the study explores the narratives of 100 women and men who were attending college on one of three diverse U.S. campuses in 2012. Utilizing a qualitative content analytic methodological framework, we found that women and men frame their first sexual experiences, in terms of message valence (positive, negative, neutral), in similar ways. Yet, subsequent thematic analysis of these messages reveals that gendered patterns and nuances exist in terms of positively framed (great experience; thoughtful, good decision; a special experience; and positive communicative experience) and negatively framed (undesired consequences, rape=abuse, regrets, and unpleasurable to horrible experiences) themes. Following an explication of how these thematic insights are more aptly understood through a gendered lens, directions for future research and implications for research, theory, and practice are provided.

“…Despite being well described in the literature that specific behaviors and lifestyle changes required for diabetes self-management not only affects T1D patients themselves but also affects their family members, few studies have evaluated the burden of the disease to family members. The required tasks to keep the glycemic targets may conflict with the pre-established family routine [11]. The need for developing new eating habits, absence from work to accompany family members during medical appointments, redefining family finances, and many other changes can be stressful [12].…”

Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) affects psychologically not only the persons with diabetes themselves but affects their family members. Few studies were conducted to investigate mental health in T1D partners. This study aims: (1) to investigate the frequency of depressive and anxiety symptoms in T1D partners and, (2) to investigate the associations among partners' depressive and anxiety symptoms and their sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics, and (3) to investigate the associations among partners' depressive and anxiety symptoms and clinical, laboratory and demographic characteristics of their T1D spouses in a Brazilian population. Methods: In a transversal study 72 T1D partners were interviewed. Partners were invited to take part in the study during their T1D spouses' routine consultations. Those who consented to take part in the study signed the consent form. This study followed the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the University Ethics in Research Committee. Inclusion criteria were T1D partners age ≥ 18 and T1D diagnosis > 6 months. Exclusion criteria were cognitive impairment, history of major psychiatric disorders, and severe chronic and terminal diseases. Depressive symptoms were evaluated by the depression subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADD) and anxiety symptoms were evaluated by the anxiety subscale of the same instrument (HADA). T1D partners were divided into subgroups according to score ≥ 8 and < 8 in both subscales. Demographic and clinical data were obtained from interview. Descriptive analyses were undertaken using means and percentages, as appropriate. Differences between groups were assessed by the Mann-Whitney test for numerical variables, by the Chi Square test or by Fisher's exact test for categorical variables, as appropriate. All analyses were undertaken using SAS version 9.2 for Windows. Statistical significance was set at 0.05. Results: Of all 72 T1D partners, 72.2% were male, mean age was 42.7 ± 14.1 years old, years of school attendance were 11.8 ± 3.9 years, and 48.5% had income reaching until 3 Brazilian minimal wages. Forty-three percent reported high anxiety symptoms (HADA ≥ 8) and 18.1% reported high depressive symptoms (HADD ≥ 8). Comparing T1D partners group with HADA ≥ 8 and < 8, the first one was associated with CGM use (41.94% vs 19.51%; p = 0.03). Similarly, comparing T1D partners group with HADD ≥ 8 and < 8, the first one was associated with (1) longer duration of T1D of their spouses (28.6 ± 7.1 vs 22.4 ± 12.2; p = 0.02); (2) less years of school attendance of T1D partners (9.3 ± 3.2 vs 12.3 ± 3.8; p = 0.02), and (3) higher number of hypoglycemic episodes requiring other person's intervention (6.3 ± 8.9 vs 2.4 ± 4.7; p = 0.009). Seventy-six percent of partners who helped personally in their spouses' hypoglycemia recovery

“…Yet Baernholdt, Yan, Hinton, Rose, and Mattos (2012) found that older adults living in rural areas reported lower levels of social functioning than urban older adults suggesting greater social isolation. Denham and others have suggested that inclusion of families in self-management programs is crucial since diet is not only influenced by family members but also that diabetes tends to be a family diagnosis (Denham, Manoogian, & Schuster, 2007;Manoogian, Harter, & Denham, 2010;O'Brien & Denham, 2008). Denham and others have suggested that inclusion of families in self-management programs is crucial since diet is not only influenced by family members but also that diabetes tends to be a family diagnosis (Denham, Manoogian, & Schuster, 2007;Manoogian, Harter, & Denham, 2010;O'Brien & Denham, 2008).…”

This article provides the results of a photovoice project conducted with older adults affected by diabetes living in three rural counties in the southern region of the United States. Photovoice is a community-based participatory action methodology that puts the tools of research in the hands of participants. This project was an initial community engagement activity that promoted trust-building and formed part of a larger comprehensive community needs assessment. The process revealed themes of personal and community resilience focused on the daily living with diabetes, formal and informal supports, barriers to taking care of their diabetes, accessibility to fruits and vegetables, changes to food preparation and consumption, and exercise supports and barriers. The impact of the photovoice project on the participants and the implications for practice are discussed.
