RESUMO

The purpose of this article is to describe Italian women's attitudes toward their genitals, and the intersection of genital self-image (GSI) and reproductive and sexual health behaviors. Individual interviews were conducted with 46 reproductive-aged women. All interviews were transcribed verbatim with observer comments to identify emerging data patterns. Researchers completed coding between and within interviews for a constant comparative approach to data analysis to identify emergent themes. Participants expressed embarrassment discussing genitals and equated this with societal taboos; however, friends provided one opportunity to speak more openly. Odor discussions and hygiene practices were frequently occurring themes, especially during menstruation. GSI limited some daily activities and sexual experiences due to feelings of self-consciousness. Concerns stemmed from limited knowledge about how women's genitals should look, smell, and feel. In contrast, some women detailed positive GSI in terms of autonomy and self-care. Results illustrate practical recommendations for healthcare providers to address women's genital concerns and improve women's GSI and overall reproductive and sexual health experiences.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: Communal blogs facilitate online narratives by providing opportunities for individuals to co-construct meaning and to engage in discussion about lived health experiences. OBJECTIVE: To examine the role of health as a connective narrative among individuals organizing collectively in an online community. The "We are the 99 percent" Tumblr blog emerged as a spontaneous community platform of the Occupy Wall Street movement in the US. DESIGN: Researchers conducted a qualitative content analysis of a total of 2003 blog posts. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Data analysis included a process of data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing and verification. RESULTS: Bloggers discussed medical crises and the role of injury and illness in maintaining financial solvency. The difficulty of obtaining health care and the lack of accessible quality care emerged as themes. In particular, unemployment and underemployment limited access to health insurance coverage. The bloggers expressed dissatisfaction with the health care system and the impact of financial status on health. These challenges were exacerbated for marginalized populations, such as women and veterans. CONCLUSION: Findings offer implications for the value of online narrative to improve health care initiatives and to provide insight to integrated health care systems, including health care practitioners, nonprofit organizations, hospitals, and policy makers. Results suggest opportunities to address the health care gaps of marginalized populations and to develop public health policy.
