MATERIAL Grounded theory and situational analysis of 21 in-depth interviews explores the help-seeking behaviour of ultra-Orthodox Jewish parents: which help-seeking pathways parents follow and how they make the decision to consult regular services for their child. DISCUSSION Three help-seeking pathways are influenced by globalization dynamics and gender: parents draw on diverse parenting discourses and strategies, socio-religious frameworks and cultural realities. CONCLUSION Strategies are suggested to enhance the accessibility of services. 153-165 Mar 2011 Negotiating the pathways into care in a globalizing world http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21343210 2011-04-04 23:46:40 NCBI PubMed PMID: 21343210 The International Journal of Social Psychiatry 57 2 Int J Soc Psychiatry DOI 10.1177/0020764008105291 ISSN 1741-2854 book Bristol Policy Furness Sheila Religion, belief and social work : making a difference 2010 ISBN 9781861349828 journalArticle Woodland Gloria J Tayler Carolyn M Canada Health Care Surveys Humans Interviews as Topic National Health Programs Pastoral Care Review Literature as Topic spirituality Implications for the delivery of spiritual care in Canadian healthcare: a perspective from a Canadian health authority Recognizing multiple challenges in the delivery of spiritual care, Fraser Health conducted a review of their spiritual care services in comparison to the spiritual care delivered in other Canadian health regions/authorities (2005-2006). Based on data received from the other health service areas, Fraser Health staff, and community focus groups, along with a review of literature and best practices, a reconstruction of spiritual care delivery has been initiated. This article outlines the results of a Canadian survey of health care chaplains, stakeholder consultations, and the implications for spiritual care delivery in Canada.

The concept of family planning has raised some concerns regarding its acceptability within Muslim populations. While some Muslim states and organisations have adopted a rather cautious approach to the issue, others have gone to the extent of inviting religious leaders to present religiously sound interpretations (fatwa) on the subject. Alongside these deliberations are some alarming statistics on maternal health. The World Health Organization estimates that worldwide 211 million women become pregnant each year and that about two-thirds of them deliver live infants. The remaining one-third of pregnancies end in miscarriage, stillbirth or induced abortion. Some 200 million women in developing countries have an unmet need for effective contraception. These statistics and the ongoing discussion surrounding family planning in the Muslim communities raise legitimate questions. How is family planning perceived within the Muslim community? Does Islam address the issue of family planning? Is it permissible? How should appropriate family planning programmes within Muslim settings be developed and applied? This article seeks to present the ongoing debate on family planning within the Muslim community and offer recommendations to organisations for effective strategy implementation of family planning programmes within Muslim settings. The article provides a brief background on the historical development of family planning in the Muslim community, and outlines Muslim perceptions on this issue. It concludes with recommendations for non-governmental organisations on how to effectively implement acceptable family planning programmes within Muslim settings. 27-31 Jan 2010 2010-01-23 17:07:56 NCBI PubMed PMID: 20067669 The Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care / Faculty of Family Planning & Reproductive Health Care, Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists 36 1 J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care DOI 10.1783/147118910790291019 ISSN 1471-1893 journalArticle Rogers Anne Bury Michael Kennedy Anne Chronic Disease England Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice Humans Patient Education as Topic Patient Participation Policy Making Program Development Self Care Self Efficacy Rationality, rhetoric, and religiosity in health care: the case of England's Expert Patients Programme Policymakers have associated the increasing prevalence and incidence of chronic illness with the threat of unsustainable demands for medical services, requiring deployment of effective demand-management strategies. In this article, the authors consider the rise in policy interest in self-management and examine the metaphors, discourse, official statements, policy developments, and goals shaping the field of chronic illness, especially surrounding the promotion and uptake of self-skills training in England's Expert Patients Programme (EPP). They discuss the shift in relationship between individuals and the state since the 1960s and 1970s; the rise in importance of self-management in relation to an aging population; the evidence and rhetoric associated with policy development; and the relationship of self-care to the notion of the "responsible patient," as seen in policy implementation and EPP course promotion. The authors also draw on qualitative research to examine the transmission of ideology and rhetoric in self-skills training. Self-management policies are part of a shift from patient rights to individual responsibilities, a shift that may be less persuasive than its supporters imagine. 725-747 2009 Rationality, rhetoric, and religiosity in health care 2011-02-22 23:34:56 NCBI PubMed PMID: 19927412 International Journal of Health Services: Planning, Administration, Evaluation 39 4 Int J Health Serv ISSN 0020-7314 journalArticle Kaplan SA Ruddock C Golub M Davis J Foley R Devia C Rosen R Berry C Barretto B Carter T Irish-Spencer E Marchena M Purcaro E Calman N Stirring up the Mud: Using a Community-Based Participatory Approach to Address Health Disparities through a Faith-Based Initiative This case study provides a mid-course assessment of the Bronx Health REACH faith-based initiative four years into its implementation. The study uses qualitative methods to identify lessons learned and to reflect oil the benefits and challenges of using a community-based participatory approach for the development and evaluation of a faith-based program designed to address health disparities. Key findings concern the role of pastoral leadership, the importance of providing a religious context for health promotion and health equality messages, the challenges of creating a bilingual/bi-cultural program, and the need to provide management support to the lay program coordinators. The study also identifies lessons learned about community-based evaluation and the importance of addressing community concern about the balance between evaluation and program. Finally, the study identifies the challenges that lie ahead, including issues of program institutionalization and sustainability. 1111-1123 Nov 2009 Stirring up the Mud http://apps.isiknowledge.com.ezproxy.bu.edu/full_record.do?product=WOS&search_mode=GeneralSearch&qid=6&SID=3ANFje6OGleF8pmPA3l&page=1&doc=45&cacheurlFromRightClick=no 2009-12-03 02:29:57 ISI Web of Knowledge Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved 20 4 ISSN 1049-2089 journalArticle Bentur Netta Resnitzky Shirli Sterne Abram Attitudes of stakeholders and policymakers in the healthcare system towards the provision of spiritual care in Israel INTRODUCTION AND AIM: Spiritual-care services and chaplaincy in the medical system are provided to people with serious illnesses, aiming to help them achieve moments of peace and acceptance while contending with illness or facing death. Chaplaincy has been available in Europe and in the U.S. for many decades, but such programs started to develop in Israel only few years ago. This paper examines the attitudes of stakeholders, directors and policymakers in the healthcare system towards the provision of spiritual care and the development of such programs. METHOD: We conducted in-depth face-to-face interviews with 16 individuals in the healthcare system. All the interviews were transcribed in full and analyzed using qualitative study methods. FINDINGS: Most of the interviewees had little knowledge of spiritual care and many mentioned barriers and challenges to its implementation in the healthcare system. These issues include: lack of knowledge and understanding about spiritual care precluding impeded their ability to evaluate its suitability for the healthcare services; confusion between spiritual care and religion; concerns about potential conflict with other professionals, especially social workers; barriers to funding of the new services; barriers to the successful integration of new ideas; and concerns about formal training and accreditation of the new profession. IMPLICATIONS FOR POLICY: Spiritual care has begun to take root in Israel's health system, but it is still at an early stage of development. Implementation must continue apace and careful consideration must be given to optimizing its acceptance by the establishment. 13-19 Jun 2010 2010-07-07 15:33:56 NCBI PubMed PMID: 20071051 Health Policy 96 1 Health Policy DOI 10.1016/j.healthpol.2009.12.006 ISSN 1872-6054 journalArticle Warnock Carla Jean Pease Who pays for providing spiritual care in healthcare settings? The ethical dilemma of taxpayers funding holistic healthcare and the first amendment requirement for separation of church and state All US governmental, public, and private healthcare facilities and their staff fall under some form of regulatory requirement to provide opportunities for spiritual health assessment and care as a component of holistic healthcare. As often the case with regulations, these facilities face the predicament of funding un-reimbursable care. However, chaplains and nurses who provide most patient spiritual care are paid using funds the facility obtains from patients, private, and public sources. Furthermore, Veteran healthcare services, under the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), are provided with taxpayer funds from local, state, and federal governments. With the recent legal action by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, Inc. (FFRF) against the Veterans Administration, the ethical dilemma surfaces between taxpayers funding holistic healthcare and the first amendment requirement for separation of church and state. 468-481 Dec 2009 Who pays for providing spiritual care in healthcare settings? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.ezproxy.bu.edu/pubmed/19890722 2009-12-28 17:13:44 NCBI PubMed PMID: 19890722 Journal of Religion and Health 48 4 J Relig Health DOI 10.1007/s10943-008-9208-8 ISSN 1573-6571 journalArticle Journal of Religion and Health 49 2 J Relig Health DOI 10.1007/s10943-009-9241-2 ISSN 1573-6571 Carey Lindsay B Cohen Jeffrey Australia Chaplaincy Service, Hospital Christianity Ethics Committees Ethics, Professional Female Humans Male Pastoral Care Professional Role Health care chaplains and their role on institutional ethics committees: an Australia study This paper presents the results of the largest Australian pastoral study concerning the perceptions of health care chaplains about their involvement on hospital research ethics committees (also known in some contexts as institutional ethics committees). Survey results from over 300 Australian health care chaplains indicated that nearly 90% of chaplains believed there was merit in chaplains serving on hospital research ethics committees, yet only a minority (22.7%) had ever participated on such committees. Data from in-depth interviews is also presented exploring the reasons for the lack of participation and the varying opinions regarding the role, appropriateness, and value of chaplains on ethics committees.

He notes that these decisions overturned rulings by the Second and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeals. He contends that the Supreme Court failed to give sufficient consideration to evidence submitted in Judge Stephen Reinhardt's Ninth Circuit Court Opinion showing the implications of the "Mystery Clause" of Planned Parenthood v. Casey for issues at the end of life and linking the moral opprobrium surrounding suicide directly to the Christian contribution to western intellectual history.

Sutherland C Jaffe D.T. Wilson J Holistic physicians and family practitioners: similarities, differences and implications for health policy. Although loosely defined, holistic or alternative medicine has been viewed by most observers as fundamentally at odds with mainstream biomedical approaches. Convergence or integration of the two are seen as highly unlikely. We attempt to assess the potential for such integration empirically through a survey of physicians, members of the American Holistic Medical Association (N = 340) and a comparison group of family practitioners (N = 142). Although social origins of the two groups are similar, they differ in their completion of residency training and a variety of practice characteristics. While the groups differ in the predicted directions in their evaluation and utilization of holistic techniques and in their attitudes toward the nature of medical practice, there is a good deal of overlap. Personal experiences, especially those in the area of religion/spirituality and psychotherapy differ sharply between the groups. Policy concerned with fostering cooperation or convergence between holistic and mainstream medicine should differentiate between clinical attitudes and behaviors (which appear to be more compatible than has been suggested), and the personal world views of physicians (which appear to be much further apart). 853-61 1988 book Grand Rapids Mich.

However, most of those expenditures were paid out of pocket rather than by health insurers. This article reviews empirical studies of third-party coverage of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and the factors behind the reluctance of health insurers to provide benefits for those treatments. This reluctance is based on three principal factors: a lack of scientific evidence supporting CAM providers' claims of medical efficacy, the absence of credentialing standards for many CAM providers, and difficulties in fitting CAM treatments into typological schemes that determine levels of reimbursement by health insurers. Possibilities for overcoming these obstacles to the integration of CAM into the American system of health insurance are discussed. 64-75 Sep., 2002 Paying for Alternative Medicine http://www.jstor.org.ezproxy.bu.edu/stable/1049689 2009-11-10 06:14:06 JSTOR ArticleType: primary_article / Issue Title: Global Perspectives on Complementary and Alternative Medicine / Full publication date: Sep., 2002 / Copyright © 2002 American Academy of Political and Social Science Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science 583 ISSN 00027162 journalArticle Dabrock Peter Playing God?

Policy, the Public, and Priorities in Alternative Medicine Research The political and social dynamics around unconventional or complementary and alternative medical practices has shifted from marginalization to a struggle for control of definitions and priorities. These practices have arisen because of public rather than professional or scientific interest. Conventional medicine has made significant gains in health care for acute disease, translating basic science into diagnostic and therapeutic value, and improving public health. These gains have been accompanied by high costs, depersonalization, and side effects. Complementary medicine has aligned with public preferences for more natural, lower-cost, and more holistic health care practices. Attempts to integrate the concepts and practices of complementary and alternative medicine into biomedicine present significant challenges for determining how language, funding, and standards of evidence are established. The author outlines some of the issues that arise in the struggle to integrate these practices into biomedicine and suggests some criteria for establishing priorities when funding research in complementary and alternative medicine. 29-43 Sep., 2002 http://www.jstor.org.ezproxy.bu.edu/stable/1049687 2009-10-13 04:17:07 JSTOR ArticleType: primary_article / Issue Title: Global Perspectives on Complementary and Alternative Medicine / Full publication date: Sep., 2002 / Copyright © 2002 American Academy of Political and Social Science journalArticle Simon Y.

Religious liberty and abortion policy: Casey as "Catch-22" The writer examines questions of religious liberty surrounding the issue of abortion, focusing on the implications of the Supreme Court's Casey decision for interpreting the First Amendment. He contends that the Casey decision places women who have decided to have an abortion in a frustrating "Catch-22" situation. The Casey decision, he explains, leaves open the possibility that the decision of a woman to have an abortion, based on her own personal understanding of morality, may be compromised by the actions of others who oppose abortion on moral or legal grounds. He argues that this dilemma needs to be addressed by the Supreme Court, which has thus far refused to deal with the religious liberty issues at stake. 69-88 Winter 2000 2009-10-27 04:00:00 journalArticle Journal of Church and State 32 Summer 1990 ISSN 0021-969X Simmons Paul D.

The Emerging Socioeconomic and Political Support for Alternative Medicine in the United States Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is increasingly utilized and accepted by patients and providers throughout the American health care system. Most accounts attribute this growing acceptability to the shortcomings of conventional medicine, the appeal of CAM's core beliefs, and the growing body of research indicating that CAM actually works. These explanations, while all accurate to some degree, neglect the extent to which CAM's recent success is due to economic and political factors. This article describes the emerging relationship between CAM and major economic actors (pharmaceutical firms, managed care companies, insurance companies, media conglomerates, Internet providers, etc.) as well as CAM's relationship with a range of political forces (political parties, bureaucrats, lobbying groups, ethnic- and gender-based movements and organizations, etc.). The convergence of interests between these economic and political forces and many of CAM's goals is one important reason for CAM's recent success. 44-63 Sep., 2002 http://www.jstor.org.ezproxy.bu.edu/stable/1049688 2009-10-13 04:59:26 JSTOR ArticleType: primary_article / Issue Title: Global Perspectives on Complementary and Alternative Medicine / Full publication date: Sep., 2002 / Copyright © 2002 American Academy of Political and Social Science journalArticle Messikomer CM Fox RC Swazey JP The presence and influence of religion in American bioethics From the inception of the relatively short history of American bioethics in the mid-to-late 1960s, the place of religion in this field has been complex and controversial. It has also been a subject of more than casual interest and concern to bioethicists, and to an array of medical and non-medical groups in U.S. society for whom the activities and issues in which bioethics is engaged have ongoing import. The questions and the tensions linked to the status and influence of religion in the sphere of bioethics have ramifications that extend beyond bioethics and biomedicine into matters involving the relationship of religion to the institutional structure of American society-most particularly its polity, legal foundations, and realm of public affairs-and to its cultural attributes and tradition. It is within this larger perspective that we will consider the association between American bioethics and religion. Our analysis includes two case studies: (1) how, in the early years of bioethics, a pioneering organization in the field dealt with the "redefinition of death" in its discussions and in a major medical journal publication; and (2) the way in which the most recently appointed federal bioethics commission, the National Bioethics Advisory Commission, involved religion in its work on cloning and stem cell research. 485-508 FAL 2001 http://apps.isiknowledge.com.ezproxy.bu.edu/full_record.do?product=WOS&search_mode=GeneralSearch&qid=8&SID=4BO33d5AnCKg2p@8AOA&page=1&doc=1 2009-10-28 03:25:29 ISI Web of Knowledge PERSPECTIVES IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE 44 4 ISSN 0031-5982 attachment ISI Web of Knowledge Snapshot 2009-10-28 03:25:31 http://apps.isiknowledge.com.ezproxy.bu.edu/full_record.do?product=WOS&search_mode=GeneralSearch&qid=8&SID=4BO33d5AnCKg2p@8AOA&page=1&doc=1 text/html 1 book New York Berghahn Books Bierlich Bernhard Dagomba (Ghana) Economic aspects Ghana Medical anthropology Medical innovations Social aspects Social life and customs TRADITIONAL medicine The Problem of Money: African Agency and Western Medicine in Northern Ghana 2007 ISBN 9781845453510 The Problem of Money library.bu.edu.ezproxy.bu.edu Library Catalog GN655.G45 B54 2007 book London; New York Continuum Jones David The soul of the embryo : an enquiry into the status of the human embryo in the Christian tradition 2004 ISBN 9780826462961 The soul of the embryo Open WorldCat book Kobe, Japan World Health Organization WHO International Symposium World Health Organization Congresses Health TRADITIONAL medicine Traditional Medicine: Better Science, Policy and Services for Health Development: Proceedings of a WHO International Symposium, Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, 11-13 September 2000 2001 Traditional Medicine library.bu.edu.ezproxy.bu.edu Library Catalog book Kobe, Japan World Health Organization World Health Organization Medicine, Traditional TRADITIONAL medicine Traditional Medicine: Its Contribution to Human Health Development in the New Century: Report of an International Symposium, Kobe, Japan, 6 November 1999 2000 Traditional Medicine library.bu.edu.ezproxy.bu.edu Library Catalog journalArticle Kambo Indra P.

Practitioners participated continuously in the program for an intervention period of two years during which their services were accepted by the community. The impact of their involvement was reflected in increased knowledge of permanent as well as reversible contraceptive methods and in higher contraceptive use rates, especially of reversible methods adopted by women younger than 25 years (from 8 percent to 37 percent), in the intervention villages, as compared with increased knowledge and use (from 13 percent to 25 percent) of permanent methods alone in the control villages. 32-40 Jan. - Feb., 1994 http://www.jstor.org.ezproxy.bu.edu/stable/2137987 2009-10-28 02:23:02 JSTOR ArticleType: primary_article / Full publication date: Jan. - Feb., 1994 / Copyright © 1994 Population Council Studies in Family Planning 25 1 ISSN 00393665 book London ;;Philadelphia Jessica Kingsley Publishers Robinson Simon Spirituality, ethics and care 2008 ISBN 9781846427176 Open WorldCat book New York : McGraw-Hill, Medical Pub.
