“…Where chronic disease is well‐controlled, women are more likely to feel well and consider pregnancy (Tyer‐Viola & Lopez, ) and this was confirmed by the women in our study who improved after ileostomy formation. Women with chronic illness have, however, voiced concerns that their medical diagnosis would create the focus for healthcare professionals on possible complications, whereas they wanted to focus on being pregnant as an expression of normal womanhood (Tyer‐Viola & Lopez, ).…”

“…This desire to be normal in pregnancy is reaffirmed in the chronic illness literature with participants feeling envious of healthy pregnant women. They become increasingly vigilant because of anticipatory stress about what could go wrong (Tyer‐Viola & Lopez, ).…”

“…Over half of the women in our sample described themselves as unreliable conceivers . In the past, women with stomas were counselled not to become pregnant (Gopal et al., ; Tyer‐Viola & Lopez, ) or to terminate pregnancies (Gluck et al., ). Fortunately, there is growing evidence that pregnancy with a stoma can be well‐managed (Abhyankar et al., ; Selinger et al., ).…”

“…The strong demand for taking responsibility for the unborn baby is not only a phenomenon for HIV-positive women, but has also been found in women living with type 1 diabetes (Berg & Hotikasalo, 2000). A strong sense of responsibility has also been described in women living with chronical diseases, where pregnancy is described as a balancing act, weighing one’s own desires against the risks for both one’s own and the child’s health (Tyer‐Viola & Lopez, 2014). …”

The effectiveness of antiretroviral treatment has reduced sexual HIV transmission and mother-to-child-transmission. To optimally support women living with HIV, health care providers need deepened knowledge about HIV, sexuality and childbearing. The aim of this study was to describe the phenomenon sexuality and childbearing as experienced by women living with HIV in Sweden. Data were collected by phenomenon-oriented interviews with 18 HIV-positive women. A reflective lifeworld analysis based on phenomenological philosophy was conducted, describing the meaning structure of the phenomenon. The essence of the phenomenon is that perceptions about HIV and its contagiousness profoundly influence sexual habits and considerations in relation to pregnancy and childbearing. These perceptions are formed in combination with knowledge and interpretations about HIV by the women themselves and by their environments. The essence is further described by its constituents: Risk of transmission imposes demands on responsibility; The contagiousness of HIV limits sexuality and childbearing; Knowledge about HIV transmission provides confident choices and decisions; and To re-create sexuality and childbearing. Although HIV has a low risk of transmission if being well treated, our study shows that HIV-positive women feel more or less contagious, which influences sexuality and decision-making in relation to become pregnant and give birth.

The symbolic dimension of prenatal nutrition care in diabetes Mellitus

et al. 2017

A B S T R A C T ObjectiveAimed at analysing the symbolic dimension of prenatal nutritional care in diabetes. MethodsParticipants were 17 puerperal adults diagnosed with previous or gestational diabetes. Participant observation and semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data. The data were interpreted according to an adaptation of Bardin's Thematic Content Analysis. ResultsThe main meaning of diabetes was the need for changing eating habits. Nutritional care based on the Traditional Method or the Carbohydrate Counting Method was understood as an opportunity for dietary re-education. Weight loss was considered desirable by some participants, albeit against the advice of nutritionists. Pregnant women adopted the standard meal plan, rarely used the food substitution list, and reported occasional dietary transgressions, self-allowed in small portions. Foods containing sucrose were perceived as less harmful to health than added sugars. ConclusionEach pregnant woman experienced prenatal nutritional care in diabetes not as a dietary method, but as part of her lifestyle. R E S U M O
