“…Theoretical frameworks used in nursing research on cancer pain recently became diverse. Typical theoretical frameworks used in recent nursing research on cancer pain included gate theory (Abram, 1993), sensory decision theory (Fuse & Fujita, 1992), cognitive theory (Chen, 1999), information processing theory (Di Giulio & Crow, 1997), learning and behavior theory (Weissman, 1996), uncertainty theory (Galloway & Graydon, 1996), and family system theory (Sholevar & Perkel, 1990). Among the 82 studies analyzed in this paper, 22 (27%) studies used biomedical models, 50 (61%) studies used psychosocial cognitive models, eight (10%) studies used qualitative perspectives (e.g., phenomenology, hermeneutics), and two (2%) studies used Rodgers' Unitary Human Being theory.…”

A number of studies on cancer pain have been conducted but the researchers rarely considered gender and ethnic differences in cancer pain. In this article, nursing research on cancer pain is critiqued from a feminist perspective, and directions for future nursing research are proposed. A total of 82 nursing articles published in the United States were retrieved through MEDLINE and MELVYL data retrieval systems, and analyzed and critiqued in terms of four basic elements of research from a feminist perspective (bias as resources, dependability, credibility and adequacy, and intersubjectivity). In this article, the critique is presented with four themes that may provide reasons why nursing research on cancer pain rarely incorporated gender and ethnic differences: absence of participants' own views and experiences, androcentrism and ethnocentrism, lack of consideration on contextual factors, and distant relationships between researchers and research participants. To overcome the limitations, six critical elements including gender and ethnic sensitivity, avoidance of distorted views, respectfor participants' own views and interests, trust and openness, empowerment, and multiple methods are suggested to be incorporated in future nursing research on cancer pain.

“…Bei spezifisch kindzentrierten Ansätzen wurden gruppentherapeutische sowie einzeltherapeutische Vorgehensweisen berichtet. Als klinisch-theoretischer Hintergrund wurden u. a. psychodynamische Konzepte [39,40] kognitiv-verhaltenstherapeutische [41,42], neuere entwicklungspsychologische oder sozial-kognitive Ansätze [6,22,43] sowie systemische Konzepte [44,45,46,47,48] angegeben. Die elterlichen Erkrankungen, zu denen kindzentrierte Interventionsansätze publiziert wurden, beschränken sich vorwiegend auf Krebs, AIDS und Schädel-Hirn-Verletzungen.…”

Irrespective of their well-known increased risk for mental health problems, children of somatically ill parents are a clinically underserved as well as under-researched group. In this article, the authors introduce the epidemiologic and clinical relevance of this topic and present a theoretical framework for understanding the sequelae of a serious parental illness on minor-age children, based on family dynamics and developmental concepts. This is followed by a comprehensive review of current empirical studies in this field, with a special emphasis on results from a transnational European collaborative study (COSIP = Children of Somatically Ill Parents), which was coordinated by the last author. The most important recommendations from intervention concepts published to date are summarized. Some outlooks for clinical practice as well as future research are presented.

SUMMARYFamily therapy techniques have, until recently, had little impact on the development of old age psychiatry and the services provided. The literature on family therapy in relation to people with dementia and their families is reviewed and illustrated with results from a study of families coping with dementia who attended the York House Family Clinic. Similar therapeutic techniques were used with families coping with dementia as with those coping with other mental illnesses in later life, but some differences were found in the areas of discussion during sessions. Families coping with dementia were seen for fewer sessions, but more family members were present per session and sons and daughters-in-law were more likely to attend. The literature and various hypotheses which might explain these differences are presented and discussed. Further work in this area is needed, but our findings suggest that family therapy can be useful in work with dementia sufferers and their families, and can be offered within an old age psychiatry service.
