Social isolation has been suggested to foster paranoia. Here we investigate whether social company (i.e., being alone vs. not) and its nature (i.e., stranger/distant vs. familiar other) affects paranoia differently depending on psychosis risk. Social interactions and paranoid thinking in daily life were investigated in 29 patients with clinically stable non-affective psychotic disorders, 20 first-degree relatives, and 26 controls (n = 75), using the experience sampling method (ESM). ESM was completed up to ten times daily for 1 week. Patients experienced marginally greater paranoia than relatives [b = 0.47, p = 0.08, 95% CI (− 0.06, 1.0)] and significantly greater paranoia than controls [b = 0.55, p = 0.03, 95% CI (0.5, 1.0)], but controls and relatives did not differ [b = 0.07, p = 0.78, 95% CI (− 0.47, 0.61)]. Patients were more often alone [68.5% vs. 44.8% and 56.2%, respectively, p = 0.057] and experienced greater paranoia when alone than when in company [b = 0.11, p = 0.016, 95% CI (0.02, 0.19)]. In relatives this was reversed [b = − 0.17, p b = − 0.02, p = 0.67, 95% CI (− 0.09, 0.06)]. The time-lagged association between being in social company and subsequent paranoia was non-significant and paranoia did not predict the likelihood of being in social company over time (both p’s = 0.68). All groups experienced greater paranoia in company of strangers/distant others than familiar others [X2(2) = 4.56, p = 0.03] and being with familiar others was associated with lower paranoia over time [X2(2) = 4.9, p = 0.03]. Patients are frequently alone. Importantly, social company appears to limit their paranoia, particularly when being with familiar people. The findings stress the importance of interventions that foster social engagement and ties with family and friends.

EnglishUsing the hypothetical deductive method, we used the Barcelona Traction, Elettronica Sicula and Diallo cases to clarify the debate on the problem of diplomatic protection for corporations and their shareholders. Corporations must be seen as a being with a distinct moral personality. If the corporations and the shareholder suffered a loss, this does not imply that the two have the right to demand redress. The issue of diplomatic protection for corporations and their shareholders has been a constant theme in international jurisprudence, in the practice of States, in international conventions, in doctrine and in the course of the work of the International Law Commission on diplomatic protection. The relevance and pertinence of the topic is also recognized in the fact that diplomatic protection applies to all other legal entities constituted by the State. We share the perspective that diplomatic protection for corporations and shareholders should not be considered obsolete. This should be seen as the ultima ratio under which States can invoke the international responsibility of another State for the damage caused to a Corporation or shareholders that hold its nationality. portuguesUtilizando o metodo dedutivo hipotetico, utilizamos os casos Barcelona Traction, Elettronica Sicula e Diallo para esclarecer o debate sobre o problema da proteccao diplomatica das empresas e dos seus accionistas. As empresas devem ser vistas como um ser com uma personalidade moral distinta. Se as empresas e o accionista sofreram um prejuizo, isto nao implica que os dois tenham o direito de exigir reparacao. A questao da proteccao diplomatica das empresas e dos seus accionistas tem sido um tema constante na jurisprudencia internacional, na pratica dos Estados, nas convencoes internacionais, na doutrina e no decurso dos trabalhos da Comissao de Direito Internacional sobre proteccao diplomatica. A relevância e pertinencia do tema e tambem reconhecida no facto de a proteccao diplomatica se aplicar a todas as outras entidades juridicas constituidas pelo Estado. Partilhamos a perspectiva de que a proteccao diplomatica para empresas e accionistas nao deve ser considerada obsoleta. Isto deve ser visto como o ultima ratio sob o qual os Estados podem invocar a responsabilidade internacional de outro Estado pelos danos causados a uma Corporacao ou accionistas que tenham a sua nacionalidade.

To complement existing literature and better capture the diversity of factors influencing grief, a more interpersonal understanding is required. Thus, we used the relational landscape's concept and empirical investigation to clarify the roles of individuals surrounding the bereaved. Sixteen interviews with bereaved individuals by euthanasia or natural death were analyzed using Interpretive Description. We present a model describing five types of actors in the environment of the bereaved and their ways of "being with" or giving space. We also include four lived landscapes in our model, with the purpose of describing how bereavement can be experienced within the social environment.

Pedagogy can be understood as methods and practices of teaching, and/or a way of being with children. In this paper, I use critical exposition and narrative to reflect on Max van Manen’s (2012) theory of pedagogy as a relationship between adults and children. My writing is organized into alternating sections of exposition (theory) and narrative (practice) to illustrate the interplay between thinking and doing that typifies pedagogical relationships, and to demonstrate how pedagogy unfolds in the unpredictable, unexpected, unprecedented, and unique actions each of us perform in the relational events of our being with children.

Introduction: Caring behavior is very important for nurses to have because it illustrates the quality of nursing care, especially for nurses who work in inpatient units. There are three factors that can influence the level of caring behavior, namely individual, psychological and organizational factors. Meanwhile, caring behavior is assessed from Knowing, Being With, Doing For, Enabling, and Maintaining Belief. Objective: To describe the factors that influence the caring behavior of nurses in Baladhika Husada Jember Hospital. Methods: Nonexperimental design with descriptive type, in which the approach was cross sectional, carried out for 1 month and involved 62 respondents. Results: 47 respondents stated that the three factors above had an influence on caring behavior and 15 respondents stated that it had no effect, while the caring behavior of respondents in the good category was 58 people and 4 people were not good. Analysis of data using the One-Sample Binominal test at alpha (α) = 0.05, has the p-value = 0.000, which illustrates the difference between the factors that influence caring behavior towards nurses caring behavior. Conclusion: The factors that influence caring behavior are directly proportional to caring behavior, meaning the better factors that influence caring behavior, the better nurses caring behavior level. Maintaining and improving caring behavior requires good effort and cooperation between the hospital manager which is the place for health services and nurses as nursing care providers.

Varying reports across different laboratories or across different analysers in the same lab for the same sample is not an uncommon phenomena. Experts call this a lack of harmonization. A test that is harmonized provides the same results regardless of the manufacturer of reagents used or the laboratory where the test is performed. When laboratory tests are not harmonized, the entire continuum of patient care can be affected in a number of ways. Here, we present a case of varying reports for a single serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) sample on two different immunoassay platforms for a young female presenting with an abdominopelvic mass. The lab reports for serum hCG for this particular patient showed inconsistent results with the same sample within the same lab. The phenomena behind this was lack of harmonization of test results. We introspect many of the factors responsible for lack of uniformity in hCG results amongst the major ones being with use of antibodies directed against different epitopes of hCG (analyte) and the heterogeneity of the hCG molecule itself. Harmonization is a process to ensure that different clinical testing procedures used by different laboratories give equivalent results. Harmonizing test results will enable healthcare providers to use clinical guidelines with greater confidence for diagnosing disease and managing patients.

This article repurposes the conceptual ingredients of participatory art, from 1960s Environment-Happenings to 1990s and contemporary relational aesthetics, to postulate an analogous poetics. While both epochs of interactive art exercise the same premise—that is, taking “the sphere of human relations as site for the artwork” to “induce models of sociability,” as Nicolas Bourriaud claims—the conditions of relationality entailed in each concern distinct modes of production, consumption, and governance. I trace this distinction in relation to the Foucauldian notion of “technologies of power,” arguing that, while Allan Kaprow's practice engages with the biopolitical, “disciplinary” power of liberalist regimes, the work of Félix González-Torres and Rirkrit Tiravanija engage with what Byung-Chul Han terms that “psychopolitics” of neoliberal debt relations. This examination serves as the ground from which I devise a new kind of relation poetics, a heteroglot and immersive literary bricolage that critically reflects neoliberal modes of atomised individualism. Juliana Spahr's Fuck-You-Aloha-I-Love-You serves as a means by which I distinguish poetry about relationality from relational poetry, which in turn gives rise to my own attempt at, and critical analysis of, a relational poem: a vexed interstice of what Jean-Luc Nancy calls “being-with.

Palliative care professionals often speak of the importance of forming meaningful relationships with patients and their families. Trust and rapport, usually established over extended periods of time through face-to-face interactions, and a ‘gentle honesty’ regarding end-of-life and death are key aspects of developing a sense of intimacy with people who are approaching the end of their lives. A fundamental feature of this intimacy is conveying a sense of ‘being with’ a patient. However, these ways of working were greatly challenged by the impact of COVID-19. This article explores how intimacy both was and was not established at the height of the pandemic, and it describes the extent to which shared concerns functioned as a new means to create a sense of a common experience.

In this brief tribute, I pursue the long-promised imaginary conversation with Peter Fitzpatrick and engage two themes: the nature of an abyss and the conversion of Karl Marx from a revolutionary thinker to a best exemplar of evolutionary thought. If these themes make some sense, a good way of being with Peter is a further exploration amidst us all.

Nowadays, several studies demonstrate that viewing nature has positive effects on human health and well-being. This essay discusses about the essential methods of viewing natural environment and their impacts on human well-being by clarifying four important theoretical models: reducing stress, lowering heart rate, improving outcome of surgery, and increasing attention. In addition, some important research results in this field are taken as examples to introduce research methods. By collecting and organizing existing studies and theories about the relationship between viewing nature and human well-being, the methods of viewing nature can be divided into two parts: viewing nature through specific media (e.g., through a window, a book, a painting or a videotape) and being with the presence of nature. This study aims to clarify the research significance of viewing nature and find deficiency in this field to maximize the role of landscapes in human health and well-being.

There is limited research on how the context in which moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) occurs influences the relationship between physical activity and affect. This study aimed to investigate how the social context and physical environment enhance the relationship between MVPA and affect in daily life. Overall, 119 adolescents (mean age = 14.7 years) provided information about their core affect, physical environment and social context on multiple occasions over a 4-day period using ecological momentary assessment. Additionally, participants' level of MVPA was objectively measured using accelerometers. Level of MVPA was positively associated with energetic arousal, being outdoors was positively associated with valence and energetic arousal, and being with someone else was also positively associated with energetic arousal. Additionally, being outdoors moderated the association between MVPA and tense arousal so that MVPA was only inversely related to tense arousal when outdoors. These findings showed that young people experience more positive valence, greater levels of energetic arousal and less tense arousal when physically active outdoors compared to when indoors and highlight the importance of encouraging young people to participate in physical activity outdoors. Further research is warranted to understand how social contexts may influence the association between MVPA and affect in young people.

espanolEste articulo presenta resultados de la inves-tigacion “Practicas de apropiacion cultural juvenil y su vinculo con la construccion de la identidad en poblacion universitaria de la Universidad de Costa Rica y de la Universidad Simon Bolivar de Barranquilla” periodo 2018-2020. El cual da cuenta de manera especifica al objetivo cuatro, concerniente a “establecer las relaciones entre las practicas de apropiacion cultural juvenil y la construccion de la identidad, que poseen las personas jovenes univer-sitarias de segundo ano de la carrera de Orientacion de la Universidad de Costa Rica y de la carrera de Psicologia de la Universidad Simon Bolivar de Barranquilla”. Por consiguiente, se llevo a cabo una investigacion cualitativa de tipo hermeneutico-interpretativo, en la cual se confor-maron de manera voluntaria 4 grupos de jovenes de segundo ano de la carrera de Orientacion de la Univer-sidad de Costa Rica y de la carrera de Psicologia de la Universidad Simon Bolivar de Barranquilla, con cada grupo se realizaron 2 encuentros, para un total de 8 grupos focales, desarrollandose dos grupos de jovenes y cuadro encuentros por pais. Dentro de los resultados se ha identificado como las nuevas tendencias de consumo asociados principalmente a los usos reconfiguran el ser joven, en tanto los procesos de significacion cultural son constantes, avanzan la regionalizacion e irrumpen en espacios variando el orden, creando lineas fronterizas mas difusas, dotando de nuevos sentidos sus propios mundos y su ser. Se evidencia en ambos paises como las diferentes y variadas practicas de consumo y sus usos, al ser apropiadas por la persona joven, llevada a su cotidianidad son dotadas de sentido y configura de forma importante la identidad juvenil EnglishThis article shows the results of the research “Youth cultural appropriation practices and their link with the construction of identity in the university population of the University of Costa Rica and the Simon Bolivar Univer-sity of Barranquilla” including the period of 2018-2020. This study accounts for objective number four, concerning “establishing the relationships between youth cultural appropriation practices and the construction of identity, which are possessed by young university students in the second year of the career of Counseling at the University of Costa Rica and from the career of Psychology at the Simon Bolivar University of Barranquilla”. Conse-quently, a qualitative hermeneutic-interpretive research was carried out, in which 4 groups of second-year of the career of counseling of the University of Costa Rica and of the Psychology career of the University of Simon Boli-var were voluntarily formed. University Simon Bolivar of Barranquilla, held 2 meetings with each group, for a total of 8 focus groups, developing two groups of young people and four meetings per country. Among the results, it has been identified how new consumer trends associate mainly with uses, reconfigure being young, while the processes of cultural significance are constant, regionalization advances and burst into spaces varying the order, creating more diffuse border lines, endowing their own worlds and their being with new meanings. It is evident in both countries how the different and varied consumption practices and their uses, being appropriate by the youngs, taken to their daily lives, are endowed with meaning and significantly shape their identity

Individuals with serious mental illnesses generally spend extensive amounts of time at home and alone. The aim of the current study was to examine differences in emotional states between being at home and being in the community, and between being alone and being with others. Ecological momentary assessment was utilized 3 times per day over 14 days with 91 individuals with serious mental illnesses to assess where they were, who they were with, and momentary feeling of depressed mood, loneliness, and happiness. A total of 2,257 data points were analyzed with hierarchical linear modeling. Participants were at home 70.6% of the time and alone 58.6% of the time. After controlling for diagnosis and symptoms, being in the community was associated with lower depressed mood, lower loneliness, and greater happiness, and being with others was associated with lower loneliness and greater happiness. There was no significant interaction effect between being at home and being alone on any emotional states. Being in the community and being with others contributed to more favorable emotional states among individuals with serious mental illnesses. These findings support the need to promote opportunities for community participation and interactions with others outside of one's home. Policies, programs, and clinical practices should align with the goal of supporting people with serious mental illnesses to actively engage in community living to facilitate their emotional well-being.

In a social situation, why is it sometimes off-putting when a person reaches for his smartphone? In small-group contexts such as a college seminar, a business meeting, a family meal, or a small musical performance, when a person begins texting or interacting with social media on a smartphone he may disengage from the group. When we do find this off-putting, we typically consider it to be just impolite or inappropriate. In this essay, I argue that something more profound is at stake. One significant way in which individuals shape their self-identities is through interactions with others in small groups. Much identity-work is interdependent; it requires generating and preserving social contexts. I argue that the smartphone-use of some individuals can fracture a group’s context and thus negatively affect the identity-work of others. In this essay, I examine identity-work, sociality, and personal technology from a perspective of existential phenomenology.

Abstract. This article explores people’s perception of their experience while being alone or being with others. To that aim, data from nine studies (total N = 1,717) were meta-analyzed. In each study, participants performed a sentence-completion task referring to their experience alone/“with others”. The responses were analyzed using a text analysis software. Results showed that in a “with others” (vs. alone) mindset, people are more focused on the present, and less focused on the past or the future. When “with others,” more anxiety but less sadness is expressed. Social motives – affiliation and power – are more pronounced in the “with others” mindset, whereas leisure activities are salient in the alone mindset. Conclusions are derived regarding the nature of the experience in these basic conditions.

Background : At present, the existing studies which explore the factors influencing elderly widows to remarry and their achievement towards successful step-parenthood are limited. Remarriage and step-parenthood are integrated into the complexities of the social phenomena in human experiences, which entail coping and adjustments to life changes. Objective: The study explored the lived experiences of elderly widows regarding coping and adjustments to remarriage and step-parenting as new roles. Methods: The study made use of a phenomenological approach, particularly the transcendental approach, to have a better understanding of their lived-experience after remarriage. Self-made open-ended questions were raised in the series of interviews using interview guides. The study was conducted in Iligan City, Philippines, where all the six participants reside. Purposive sampling was used wherein participants are selected based on criteria necessary to answer the objectives of the study: (1) He/ she should be at least 60 years of age; (2) must be remarried after the death of the previous spouse; and, (3) must be a bi-parent. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis. Result: Three themes emerged in all interviews: (1) adjusting to a new marital role, (2) sharing responsible parenthood, and (3) rewarding new parental role. Results highlighted bi-parenting among elderly widows as an aptly complex lived- experience as widows enter remarriage. Conclusion: It is concluded that the remarried widows view life after remarriage with the new family and children as a positive experience despite the challenges. Remarriage and being with another family can improve the wellbeing of the elderly widows. Having children and a new partner around is an opportunity to bring back a complete family structure together. This research recommends further that the understanding of their experiences and phenomena should be the basis of identifying their status. Researchers and clinicians should provide essential information to elderly remarried widows about the healthy and proper coping and adjustment to this life-changing event.

PurposeEffective nonverbal communication is associated with empathic behavior and improved patient outcomes. Touch, as a form of nonverbal communication, is relatively unexplored in medical education. This study sought to gain in-depth insights into physicians' experiences communicating with touch and to examine how these insights could inform communication skills curricula.MethodCollaborative inquiry, a form of action research, was used. Six experienced physician-educators from the University of Calgary met 8 times between 2015 and 2018 to critically reflect on their experiences of touch in clinical practice, teaching, and learning. Data comprised meeting transcripts, individual narrative accounts, and digital recordings of roleplays. Interpretative phenomenology, the study of lived experience, guided analysis.ResultsTwo themes were identified-touch as presence and touch as risk. Participants used touch to demonstrate presence and a shared humanity with patients, to express "being with" a patient. Risk was not associated with the physical experience of touch but, rather, with its social meaning, interpreted through gender, culture, relationships, and context. Individual experiences were open to many interpretations. Participants expressed tension between their personal experience communicating with touch to express empathy and formal curricular structures. Reflection, role-modeling, and clinical debriefs were suggested as ways to encourage situational awareness and sensitive use of touch.ConclusionsTouch is a powerful means to communicate with patients but is highly subjective. Rather than avoiding touch for fear of misinterpretation, encouraging dialogue about its complexity could promote a more balanced understanding of touch and its potential to convey empathy and help physicians more effectively manage risk when using touch.

Purpose The experiences of clinical facilitators working within non-conventional mental health settings have not yet been explored. The purpose of this paper is to explore the experiences of clinical facilitators when facilitating nursing student learning within a non-conventional mental health clinical placement. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a qualitative phenomenological approach. The participants in this study were five registered nurses who had facilitated students at a non-conventional mental health clinical placement called Recovery Camp. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted. Findings The facilitators experiences could be understood through two main themes: facilitator skills and opportunities for student learning. Recovery Camp allowed the facilitators to build on their own nursing and facilitation skills, while examining themselves as a mental health nurse. “Being with” students (immersive engagement) enabled opportunistic and rare learning moments. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first known study to explore the experiences of clinical facilitators working in a non-conventional mental health placement.

Background Lymphoma incorporates histologically variable cancers derived from the immune system cells. The distinctive feature of lymphoma is the rapid increase in size and number of lymph nodes and/or secondary lymphoid tissues. The aim of the work is to evaluate the accuracy of PET/CT vs CECT in the assessment of response to therapy in lymphoma patients: both early and late therapeutic response assessment. This retrospective study was conducted on 80 patients with different types of lymphoma recruited and enrolled from a university hospital. All 80 patients underwent pre-treatment, during the course of chemotherapy and at the end of planned treatment contrast-enhanced СT (СEСT) and PET-СT. Interpretation of the СEСT and the fusion images PET/СT each was done separately and comparison of the results was achieved. Results PET/CT and contrast-enhanced computed tomography were concurrent in results in 55% of cases during treatment and 75% at the end of treatment with CT sensitivity of 61.1%, specificity of 92.2%, and accuracy of 76.2% during treatment in comparison to 100% sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT. Sensitivity of CT at end of treatment was 57.5%, specificity 86.7%, and accuracy 71.6% as compared to 100% sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT. Conclusion PET/СT using 2-deoxy-2-[18F] fluoro-d-glucose is considered one of the best oncologic imaging modalities at the time being with valuable applications in lymphoma. It is very efficient with least possible pitfalls and false results compared to either of its components alone and to side by side reading of separately acquired PET and СT. PET/CT can detect both anatomical information as well as metabolical information providing more data and thus giving more accurate results than CECT. It is becoming а standard modality for lymphoma providing а new vision to management and treatment plan.

Catholic evolutionists have proposed to reconcile evolutionary anthropogenesis with Catholic doctrine by suggesting that a created soul could be infused into a body produced (in part, if not wholly) by evolution from an animal body. Could such an infusion yield not just a Platonic composite but a being with the unity of substance required by a Thomistic philosophy of nature? How could such a soul be the form of the body into which it was infused?This paper suggests that animals seem to have sense-powers with a level of complexity, if not sufficient to underlie the abstraction of concepts in a being that also has a rational soul, then at least nearly so. The burden of proof lies rather on those who think that evolutionary development of such powers is not possible.In its final section, the paper argues that the existence of Eve as a second, and the only additional, initial rational being does not create special problems for the view here articulated.

Mindful parenting has been proposed as a contributing factor for reducing psychological problems in children. However, mixed results regarding the association between mindful parenting and child psychological problems suggest that the benefits could be moderated by children’s characteristics. This study, based on differential susceptibility to parenting models, aims to examine whether child dispositional mindfulness profiles can moderate the impact of mindful parenting, so that children with a poorer dispositional mindfulness profile benefit more when their parents present a mindful parenting style. A total of 348 parents and their adolescent children participated in a two-wave longitudinal study with a 1-year interval. Parents answered measures of mindful parenting (mindful discipline and being in the moment with the child), and children answered measures of dispositional mindfulness, depressive symptoms, aggressive behavior, and peer victimization. The adolescents were classified according to their dispositional mindfulness profiles. Mindful discipline predicted reduced depressive symptoms, aggression, and victimization after 1 year, whereas, being with the child only predicted reduced depressive symptoms. The results showed an interaction effect, according to which adolescents with poor dispositional mindfulness (i.e., high scores in observing and low scores in nonjudging and acting with awareness) benefited more from mindful parenting. Adolescents with a poor dispositional mindfulness profile benefit the most from mindful parenting. Adolescents with an adequate mindfulness profile tend to show lower levels of aggression and depressive symptoms, regardless of whether their parents exhibit a mindful parenting style.

Background The experience of physical activity is influenced by social relations and gendered roles. Group-based lifestyle interventions are considered effective in promoting physical activity, yet the experiences of being active with others are unknown among individuals with severe obesity. Purpose To explore how individuals with severe obesity experience being with others during physical activity. Methods A qualitative hermeneutic phenomenological study of repeated single-gender focus group interviews was conducted with adults living with severe obesity during group-based lifestyle intervention. Results Three themes were developed: 1) 'Enjoying safety, kinship and belonging among peers'; 2) 'Feeling like a failure is shameful: A sense of aversion'; and 3) 'Striving to feel at home in physical activity: Needing distance from others.' The themes were drawn into an overall meaning 'Achieving wellbeing may always be a challenge: not feeling at home in the group or in body.' Conclusion Intersubjective and spatial dimensions of experiences are central and influence how individuals with severe obesity can feel wellbeing and 'at home' in physical activity. Physiotherapists should be aware of the individuals' vulnerability regarding feelings of failure, aversion, and shame as well as awareness of gendered norms and roles.

"Human life and society comprises man and woman in general. Both are equal to each other being human being having equal rights and responsibilities being with in their natural limits. But the ground reality is quite different and bitter. The mankind especially the women folk have been exploited for a long time due to which society got imbalanced. The need is to probe the issue in the light of different religious teachings especially the semetic religions to know the actual status of women folk and to analyse that what of the semetic religions gives them their proper status in society by protecting their basic rights accordingly. This is the basic theme lying in the article."

The text analyzes the geography and the perceived vulnerabilities in the community of Xixuau, located on the banks of the Jauaperi River, in the Lower Rio Branco region, in Roraima, in the extreme north of the Amazon. For this, it seeks in field research and in the bibliography of phenomenological affiliation, to understand the idea of ”‹”‹place, using the residents' narratives about their way of life and the historical relationship of this riverside being with the lived space. It is noted that the Amazon riverside has a particular multidimensional cosmology of the environment, demonstrating that it is possible to adapt to verticalities of economic interest, but at the same time, resist such external interventions, if necessary, in the defense of the place

Traditionally, the role of midwives has been to be with women throughout the pregnancy continuum, from conception until the end of the postnatal period. Midwives, however, have been named as key providers of abortion services. While freedom of conscience is legally protected within Europe, discrepancies exist between midwifery and conscientious objection to abortion-related services. Midwives are largely ignored within the academic discussion despite the care and support they give to women undergoing abortions. Those discrepancies led to the aim of this article to address this issue by discussing some of the key ethical and legal concepts that are relevant to midwives’ role in the provision of abortion services. This article shows that the decision to provide or object to abortion services remains ethically very complex because arguments exist both for and against its provision. Being with women can be interpreted differently and individual situations of care are multifaceted. Conscientious objection to abortion services is a highly contentious issue that has an overall importance to midwives. Noting that decisions are individual, may change or may be situationally dependant; a definitive position of midwives for or against conscientious objection cannot be assumed. Respecting conscience and acknowledging that there are various arguments for and against conscientious objection promotes widespread understanding. It accommodates both the opportunity for midwives to object on conscience grounds to the provision of abortion services and respect women’s autonomy so that mutual agreement may be reached on issues that may have far reaching consequences.

Although more frequent and intense on infancy, the attachment system can be triggered across the lifespan, from "the cradle to the grave." In adulthood, whenever the individual's internal working model does not have enough resources to sustain his/her insecurity, one seeks support from an attachment figure. Illness may trigger the attachment system, obliging the individual to pursue the proximity of an attachment figure. In our research on how the doctor's attachment style affects the doctor-patient relationship (Barstad-Castro Neves, 2018), we assessed the doctor's attachment style and correlated with a semi-structured interview script. One of the categories highlighted in our research was how physicians cared for their patients. The present article aims to explore, expand, and clarify the category mentioned. It is essential to discuss how the car ing and concerning doctor acts towards his/her patient, and how the caregiving system, from the lens of attachment theory, has a function in that matter. Our research may contribute to the discussion of strategies to improve the doctor-patient relationship, therefore refining patient adherence and compliance to treatment. Besides, it can also shed light on how to give support to medical professionals, starting from medical school.
