Perceptions of transition-related health and mental health services among transgender adults

The opportunity to live authentically is critical for the well-being of transgender individuals. For many this requires accessing transition-related services. Current knowledge of transition-related care is limited. This study aims to elucidate experiences and needs of transgender individuals (N = 65) related to (a) therapeutic support, (b) medical care, and (c) aspects of living authentically in order to inform the development and delivery of trans-affirmative services. Findings reveal challenges accessing health care providers with trans-specific competency; gaps between critical aspects of transition-related care and receipt of services; and heterogeneity of experiences and needs. Recommendations for improving transgender-affirmative services are provided.

Examining the Development of Positive Space in Health and Social Service Organizations: A Canadian Exploratory Study

All health care sectors are currently examining factors that influence delivery of high-quality services for diverse groups with an understanding that minority populations experience barriers to service access that contribute to well-documented ill health and health inequities. With a goal of understanding dynamics that can improve access to care in the home care sector, this qualitative exploratory study examined processes to create inclusive, positive space for diverse lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in community-based health and social service agencies. A purposeful sample of eight key informants from agencies in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, which offer programs and services to LGBTQ communities, completed in-depth interviews. Conventional content analysis and a critical lens were used. Themes offered insight into the histories, challenges, and turning points which shaped the development of LGBTQ-positive spaces in these organizations. Community engagement and leadership emerged as relevant, as did strategies to embed LGBTQ voices and visibility within everyday organizational functioning. Given the gap in literature addressing LGBTQ access to home care and the unique dynamics that shape care in the home, implications address the application of these study findings for creating positive space in the home care sector.     

否定因素中的正反说及翻译策略

在英汉翻译中,否定因素中的正反说是一个难点但同时也可以遵循一些翻译的原则。第一,不拘泥于原文表层结构的肯定和否定,而取决于汉语的表达习惯,必须注意确保译文的优势。在不违背这一原则下,当然可以尽量照顾原文和译文在形式上的契合。第二,否定和肯定的运用,要考虑文体和语境上的因素。第三,一般说来,用否定式有时有比较婉转的意思,反映说话者的态度,而用肯定式时则比较直截了当。     

美国“积极行动”政策简评

民族政策分两类：非歧视政策和民族优惠政策。非歧视就是在社会生活的各个领域禁止基于民族、种族、肤色和族源的一切形式的歧视。民族优惠政策,是指国家对特定少数民族采取特殊的照顾和优惠措施。民族优惠政策在美国被称为“积极行动”政策。经过二十世纪五、六十年代的民权运动,美国在法律上已经确立了非歧视原则,但“积极行动”政策却充满了争议。     

Workplace Disaster Collective Postvention

ABSTRACT

There is a growing recognition that corporations not only need to attend to the legal, medical, and safety needs of employees following a workplace disaster, but the psychological impact of trauma may in fact be the most difficult to overcome. A practical collective workplace disaster plan is described with emphasis on information, peer support, education, and follow-up services. A case example is given to illustrate these four key concepts.
