1. From Awareness to Moral Redemption: Medicalisation, Stigma, and Anti-Establishment Aesthetics in the 'Obesity Without Filters' Spanish Campaign by Pharmaceutical Company Novo Nordisk.
PMID:日期:2026-09-30This article examines how 'obesity' is discursively and narratively constructed in Novo Nordisk's 'Obesity Without Filters' campaign. Drawing on the premise that awareness campaigns function as ideological texts, it explores how discourses of empathy, moral responsibility, and biomedical authority shape public understandings of body weight - with particular attention to how such campaigns operate beyond Anglophone contexts, and how the further medicalisation of body weight may ultimately run counter to anti-stigma efforts. Using qualitative content analysis informed by framing theory, conceptual metaphor, and Greimasian narrative semiotics, the study examines a social media video, two outdoor posters, and a website. The findings reveal a paradoxical narrative: while adopting an anti-establishment aesthetic and a rhetoric of authenticity, the campaign reproduces hegemonic frameworks in which 'obesity' is framed as a disease, science as the sole epistemological authority, and individuals as morally responsible for correcting their bodies. Rather than reducing weight stigma, the campaign reinforces medicalisation and neoliberal regimes of bodily governance. Beyond the empirical findings, the study further offers a replicable analytical framework for examining discursive mechanisms in health communication campaigns, applicable beyond anti-obesity contexts. By dismantling the narrative devices through which stigmatising ideas are naturalised, this work opens avenues for counter-discourses - aligning with broader calls for critical scrutiny of public health campaigns and genuine reflexivity regarding the messages they express.

2. A Narrative Inquiry Into the Menopause Experiences of Women With Spinal Cord Injury.
PMID:日期:2026-09-18Menopause presents distinct medical and social challenges for women with spinal cord injury (SCI), yet little is known about the lived experiences of this population, in part due to gender bias in SCI research and care. This narrative inquiry explores how disability, gender, and aging intersect to shape the menopausal experiences of women with SCI. This study involved two participants, Kim and Nadine, each of whom took part in four in-depth conversations exploring how they navigated, understood, and experienced menopause while living with SCI. Conversations were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed alongside field notes to develop narrative accounts. Two key narrative threads emerged: (highlighting ambiguity and uncertainty) and (emphasizing self-doubt). Both women's stories revealed how silence, uncertainty, and discrimination shaped their understanding and experience of menopause. In clinical encounters, disability was frequently treated as the primary focus which eclipsed other important aspects of health and social experience. These findings highlight significant gaps in care and the need for healthcare providers to engage in proactive and validating conversations about menopause with women living with SCI.

3. Challenging Treatment Hesitancy Caused by Mental Illness Stigma in Specialist Advice Responses on Polish Healthcare Platforms.
PMID:日期:2026-09-18Stigma has numerous adverse effects on people with mental illness. This includes delay in or avoidance of setting an appointment with a professional, as, for example, individuals are concerned for being ridiculed, unable to find a job, or deprived of the right to education because of their diagnosis. To resolve such concerns or learn how to self-manage the condition, they seek specialist advice online. In this study, accordingly, we investigated social actions performed by mental health advisors on two Polish healthcare platforms to counteract stigma-rooted treatment hesitancy. We collected 70 advice-seekers' enquiries and 361 responses to them that were of relevance to the topic of the study. Further, the data were analysed with the discursive psychology approach. This revealed five main types of social actions undertaken by the advisors, namely (1) pathologising and medicalising, (2) referring to masculine role models, (3) micro-educating about codes of conduct and legal regulations, (4) expressing moral indignation over stigmatisation, as well as (5) asserting limitations of online healthcare platforms. All of them potentially empower advice-seekers, decreasing treatment hesitancy. Nevertheless, some of them may bring unintended messages as well. To illustrate, pathologising and medicalising normalise mental illness, which may make some people conceal their condition to come across as unexceptional. An assessment of the efficacy of these social actions is recommended to expand practical implications for support.

4. {"_":": Self-Talk Under the Pressure of Breast Cancer.","i":["I Want to Live More"]}
PMID:日期:2026-09-02In this study, self-talk is conceptualized as a self-regulatory intrapersonal communication process that integrates emotional, cognitive, and social dimensions. Unlike prior studies that focus on the frequency or valence of self-talk, as well as the effectiveness of psychoeducational interventions, nearly always using quantitative methods, this study uses a qualitative approach to identify dynamic transitions and socio-contextual embedding of self-talk across the breast cancer trajectory. Adopting the interpretive paradigm, the qualitative study was conducted in Poland and Croatia. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews and lifeline drawings from a purposive sample of 24 breast cancer patients aged 34-76. As a result of reflexive thematic analysis, five interconnected themes were developed: embodied experience of illness, emotional roller coaster, cognitive and control-oriented strategies, socio-contextual self-talk, and dynamics of transitions in self-talk. They represent the multidimensional nature of self-talk, spanning somatic, emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and social spheres. Self-talk remains emotional, memorable, and open to reconstruction, as well as variable and dynamic throughout the cancer trajectory. It fulfills regulatory functions such as monitoring, evaluation, and behavioral guidance, encompassing both current events and strategic preparation for future challenges. The content, function, and context of self-talk should be jointly assessed to clarify its adaptive vs. maladaptive roles in populations with illness. Adaptive self-talk is characterized as self-supporting and self-compassionate; goal-driven, action-oriented, and task-focused; time-bound; and self-distanced. Maladaptive self-talk is self-critical, repetitive, associated with a loss of control, future-oriented rumination, and self-immersion. The results provide guidance for educating patients and clinicians on self-talk.

5. Lived Experiences of Women Navigating End-of-Life Caregiving and Parenting During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
PMID:日期:2026-08-27The COVID-19 pandemic intensified the burden on informal caregivers, particularly those with dual caregiving roles. This grounded theory study explores the lived experiences of women who simultaneously cared for a hospitalized family member at the end of life and for minor children during the pandemic. We aimed to examine how the intersection of these roles influenced women's experiences during caregiving and into bereavement. We analyzed 11 qualitative interviews with bereaved women caregivers in Toronto, Canada, who simultaneously cared for minor children and a dying family member during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings reveal a core category of Caregiving and Grieving in Survival Mode, and show that these caregivers (i) often neglected their own needs due to being pulled into numerous responsibilities; (ii) perceived their children as both sources of motivation yet as adding emotional burden to their caregiving; and (iii) felt isolated due to the need for human touch, making small compassionate gestures from healthcare providers seem meaningful. These findings highlight the compounded challenges of dual caregiving and bereavement under crisis conditions and identify a critical need for tailored support for the vulnerable population of dual caregivers.

6. Praise as Pathway: Caregiver Language and Identity Construction in Pediatric Cancer Narratives.
6. 赞扬作为路径：儿科癌症叙事中的照护者语言与身份建构PMID:日期:2026-08-27This qualitative interpretive study examines how praise functions in pediatric cancer narratives, focusing on two caregiver-authored blogs, Dominic's Journey with AML and Superman Sam. The analysis identifies a longitudinal progression in which praise evolves from process-focused coping language into heroic, communal, and elegiac identity framing across treatment, crisis, and loss. These findings extend developmental and clinical work on praise, mindset, and metaphor into the underexplored domain of pediatric recovery narratives and suggest that balanced, process-centered, emotionally honest praise may better preserve space for ambivalence, fear, and ordinary childness, offering clinicians and caregivers a more flexible framework for supporting families through serious illness.

7. Ways of Knowing: A Qualitative Study of Mental Health Professionals' Epistemic Practices in Psychiatry.
7. 认知方式：精神病学中精神卫生专业人员认知实践的定性研究PMID:日期:2026-08-26The purpose of this article is to explore the various ways mental health professionals produce knowledge about patients' condition in practice. The study is based on empirical material from four months of participant observation and interviews with mental health professionals in both inpatient and outpatient clinics located in Denmark. In the article, we demonstrate how mental health practitioners' ways of knowing in everyday practice is made up of various epistemic practices. Epistemic practices, to varying degrees, deviate from what we call To understand those epistemic practices, we propose that mental health practitioners should be understood as . Finally, we suggest the notion of as an important term to understand their ways of knowing.

8. Intergenerational Understandings of Ageing in Place: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis Study.
PMID:日期:2026-08-24Population ageing poses global challenges, positioning Ageing in Place (AIP) as a preferred strategy to support ageing in later life. In the Chinese context, the role of adult children in supporting AIP is particularly salient due to the cultural value of filial piety. However, limited research has examined how AIP is experienced and interpreted by both older adults and adult children within this cultural framework. This study aims to explore and compare the lived experiences of older adults and adult children in relation to AIP in urban China, with a particular focus on intergenerational understandings of AIP. This study adopted an interpretative phenomenological analysis approach. Purposive sampling was used to recruit older adults and adult children in Changsha, China. Data were collected through photo elicitation and semi-structured interviews with nine older adults, and semi-structured interviews with eight adult children. Findings reveal three key themes: (1) motivations and intentions to support AIP; (2) making sense of spatial separation in AIP; and (3) needing more healthcare support from communities. Both older adults and adult children demonstrated shared and diverse interpretations of AIP. The findings reveal nuanced needs, meanings, and challenges that are often overlooked in policy discourse and everyday care practices regarding AIP. Overall, the study calls for a more holistic and intergenerational rethinking of AIP beyond Western-centric frameworks, highlighting the importance of aligning policy and practice with the lived realities of families navigating AIP in diverse socio-cultural contexts.

9. "There Is Such a Silence Around It": Grief, Life, and Identity of Suicide Survivors in Czechia.
9. “它周围有这样一片寂静”：捷克共和国自杀幸存者的悲伤、生活与身份认同PMID:日期:2026-08-20Experiences and needs of those bereaved by suicide of another person-suicide survivors-are severely under-explored in Czechia. Grounded in the sociology of death, dying, and bereavement, as well as death studies, this paper focuses on the processes of grief, bereavement, and mourning. Drawing on nine in-depth interviews and employing interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), four key themes emerged: (1) Those, who remained and those, who are gone; (2) Family, friends, and the great silence; (3) Institutional failure and the shifting of agency; and (4) Grief-worthiness and the proper way to mourn. The findings suggest that reconstructing a new identity involves more than the commonly cited emotions of guilt or anger; it also includes feelings such as protectiveness toward the deceased. While bereaved bear the burden of suicide's stigmatizing nature and may feel abandoned by, or failed by, institutional systems, instances of good practice did occur, albeit despite the system rather than because of it. Finally, survivors' experiences of disenfranchised grief reflect prevailing societal expectations and norms surrounding bereavement after suicide.

10. Help-Seeking for Suicidality Among Rural LGBTQ+ Youth: A Constructivist Grounded Theory Study.
PMID:日期:2026-08-20Rural gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) youth face heightened suicidality risk due to social and structural health inequities, including isolation, stigma, and inaccessible mental health services. However, little is known about how LGBTQ+ youth seek help when experiencing suicidality. This constructivist grounded theory study examines the help-seeking processes of rural LGBTQ+ youth experiencing suicidality. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 15 rural-based LGBTQ+ youth (aged 16-25) in Quebec, Canada, we inductively developed the Theory Map of Suicidality Help-Seeking among Rural LGBTQ+ Youth. This theory conceptualizes help-seeking as a cyclical and iterative social process shaped by the interplay between constraints and agency. The first thematic process, concealing LGBTQ+ identities and suicidality, showed how rural conservative social norms (particularly cis-heteronormative expectations) led participants to conceal both their LGBTQ+ identity and their suicidal distress, thereby delaying help-seeking. The second process, confronting systemic barriers, captured how participants confronted geographic isolation, limited availability of formal mental health resources, and inconsistent LGBTQ+ competence among providers. The third process, bridging support, highlighted how participants adjusted to navigate community-based strategies, online resources, and trusted adults to bridge informal supports. Taken together, these processes reveal that help-seeking for suicidality among rural LGBTQ+ youth is dynamic and indelibly shaped by social and structural rural contexts. The Theory Map of Suicidality Help-Seeking among Rural LGBTQ+ Youth offers insights to guide tailored suicide prevention interventions that align with and respond to the unique help-seeking experiences of rural LGBTQ+ youth.
