Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation Model for Behavior Change in People With Asthma: Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Study (Preprint)

Despite this, it is widely acknowledged that 70% of patients do not adhere to their asthma treatment. Personalizing treatment by providing the most appropriate interventions based on the patient’s psychological or behavioral needs produces successful behavior change. However, health care providers have limited available resources to deliver a patient-centered approach for their psychological or behavioral needs, resulting in a current one-size-fits-all strategy due to the nonfeasible nature of existing surveys. The solution would be to provide health care professionals with a clinically feasible questionnaire that identifies the patient’s personal psychological and behavioral factors related to adherence. OBJECTIVE We aim to apply the capability, opportunity, and motivation model of behavior change (COM-B) questionnaire to detect a patient’s percei...

This study is based on video-recorded observations of three families at home, each with a child with Down Syndrome of approximately 6 years of age. The analysis focuses on the parental practice of asking the children ' Are you going to' questions. The results document two main uses: 'request for information' and 'action solicit' . The analysis suggests that using the question as action solicit may hamper children's comprehension and undermine their agency. A comparison with other action solicits and relative frequencies of use suggests family styles that either privilege a Requester's Perspective or the Child's Perspective. It is argued that, by privileging the Child's Perspective, parents limit the imposition on children but subtract potential for normative and epistemic socialisation, as well as opportunities for the child to display their collaboration.

In this article we examine how pain is talked about in 24 video-recorded visits of a team of medical professionals with postsurgery amputees. We identify a paradox: Although it is medically useful to identify postamputation pain (it can indicate problematic healing and deter application of a prosthesis), we found that there was a joint preference, by both patients and professionals, to minimize pain sensations. We show how both parties draw on turn design, sequential organization, and multimodal resources to acknowledge some kinds of unpleasant sensations while excluding types of pain that would be problematic in view of the prosthesis. We discuss the importance of the findings in terms of furthering the understanding of situated expression and reporting of pain, the emergence of local preferences in clinical settings, and preference organization in general. Data are in Italian.

Narratives in the workplace: Facts, fictions, and canonicity

These have been called Rewindings, collaborative reconstructions of yet-unknown past events; Fictions, the creation of imaginary scenes; and Templates, condensed versions of experience provid-ing information on unexpected outcomes or controversial occurrences. Without denying specificity to narrative discourse, we extend its definition here to the displacement of the described actions. We propose that, simi-larly to what is done in other social and human sciences, conversational studies ought to take into consideration the description of events that are not fully known at the onset of narration and that are partially or entirely suggested by the narrators. The study also contributes to the field of workplace studies, providing an illustration of the functioning of dis-tributed cognition and situated knowledge by showi...

Markings are minimal turns that rely on prosody, embodied resources and indexicality to foreground events within an ongoing activity and convey a stance toward them. Markings can be both retrospective and prospective (i.e. referring to a just-occurred or an incipient event). As first pair parts, they are open action bids that prompt recipients to display their co-orientation towards the referent. Responses from parents (i.e. second markings) can take the form of repeats or expansions; after prospective marking the recipient can also add support to the incipient activity the child has marked. We discuss marking as the core constituent of a larger family of actions for ‘sharing noteworthiness’, but also as a designedly undetermined action bid with specific conversational uses for children and adults alike.

The early stages of narrative development are discussed in relation to play and different narrative genres, and studies on participation structure in the family conarration are summarized. It is then emphasized the role of narrative in the development of reasoning and thinking skills. A large section is devoted to research concerning differences in narrative socialization related to gender, social class, and ethnic background. A final section includes a few considerations on the methodology of narrative research.
