Therapeutic Communication Methods Targeting Families and Family Members: A Literature Review

Background and Purpose: Therapeutic communication is a new term in family health care nursing, defined by Hohashi (2019) as a method of family intervention, and characterized by inclusion of not only verbal conversation but also nonverbal interaction. However, specific therapeutic communication methods have not been systematized. The purpose of this study was to clarify therapeutic communication methods for families/family members from the perspectives of verbal communication and non-verbal communication through a review of existing literature. Methods: We conducted a search using the medical literature databases PubMed and Ichushi-Web using the keywords “therapeutic communication”. Analysis was performed on seven articles from PubMed and 14 articles from Ichushi-Web that described therapeutic communication methods performed by healthcare professionals for families/family members. Through directed content analysis, therapeutic communication methods were subcategorized, and classified into three categories: verbal communication, non-verbal communication, and verbal/non-verbal communication. Results: A total of 23 subcategories were extracted. Verbal communication included 11 subcategories, such as “asking questions using the communicatee’s words as they are”. Non-verbal communication included five subcategories, such as “noticing changes in the content of the communicatee’s story”. And verbal/non-verbal communication featured seven subcategories, such as “making the communicatee aware of one’s own beliefs”. Conclusion: Therapeutic communication methods included basic care/caring in family interviews/meetings, as well as verbal communication and non-verbal communication that act on family/family members’ beliefs. It is believed that changes in family/family members’ beliefs can be used to eliminate, reduce, or improve problematic conditions in the family. .

Support from Healthcare Professionals for Couples/Partners Undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technology in Japan: A Literature Review

Background and Purpose: A growing number of couples/partners have been undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) in Japan. The purpose of this study was to clarify the support from healthcare professionals based on the support vectors in the Family Care/Caring Theory proposed by Hohashi (2015) through a literature review. Methods: Using Ichushi-Web, we searched for original articles using the keywords “assisted reproductive technology”, “infertility”, “family”, “couple”, “nursing”, “care”, and “support”. Thirteen articles suitable for the purpose of this study were subjected to content analysis. Family support was encoded and grouped into subcategories and categories, and classified according to support vectors. Results: A total of 21 categories of support from healthcare professionals was extracted. Intervention for family internal environment included seven categories, such as “Nursing professionals stay close to females”. Intervention for family system unit included five categories, such as “Nursing professionals adjust couple/partner relationships”. Intervention for micro system only included “Nursing professionals provide opportunities for peer support to the couples/partners” and intervention for macro system only included “Nursing professionals encourage medical doctors to relate to females”. Intervention for family chrono environment included seven categories, such as “Healthcare professionals resolve female’s anxieties”. Conclusion: The support from healthcare professionals could be organized by the support vectors of Family Care/Caring Theory, but intervention for supra system (culture, religion, etc.) was lacking. Moreover, because most support was directed toward females or couples/partners, male-focused direct and/or indirect support are also needed. .

Application of Literary Theory in Teaching Literature——A Case Study From ＂Approaching Fiction＂ in China Youth University of Political Studies

For most universities and colleges in China, literary theory is taught at the graduate level of literary studies. Most English teachers think literary theory is such a complex field with jargon-ridden disciplines and concepts that it is often considered as ＂a hot potato＂ in classroom teaching.

With proper selection of teaching material and carefully designed teaching approaches, application of critical theory plays an increasingly important role in the undergraduate literature classroom.

Locus of Control Theory,Productivity,Job Satisfaction,and Procrastination:A Systematic Literature Review in the Organizational Context of the 21st Century

Locus of control theory,which was developed by Rotter,suggests that there are two main types of peoples’behaviors when attributing their failure or success of their life events:external locus of control and internal.The way that individuals act is determined by their expectations of their specific behaviors and the value that they add to these expectations.For instance,people who fit in the internal category are more likely to attribute their life events to their own behaviors,skills,and attitudes,while people who fit in the external category,tend to attribute their acts to fate,chance,and other exterior factors that are out of their control.The aim of this systematic literature review was to define the fundamental concept of LOC theory,to investigate major findings of the theory in accordance with LOC and procrastination,job satisfaction,and performance and lastly,to discuss the practical use of the theory in the organizational context.

媒介变革中网络文学现实观照的幻像强化——从Internet到Sora的技术迁跃

网络文学的媒介提供了一种虚拟空间的文化交流与精神对话方式。伴随着互联网媒介生产技术从早期诞生到Sora AI问世的持续发展,文艺同社会生活边界的日渐模糊,进而打破了以往同社会存在遥远距离的束缚,以一种超现实的虚拟空间状态进入社会大众的生活。网络文艺创作将个体“无意识之思”通过超现实的叙事表达在集体“无意识之思”的公共语境空间内,并通过一种“在场”式体验的创作同创作者与阅读者构成共同的语意空间。而由于公共语境空间的平等交流性,读者与创作者都在他者介入的影响下参与到网络文艺在“自我理想”中找寻“理想自我”的过程中。

接受美学理论视角下英语文学翻译研究

翻译活动是一个“翻译→作品→读者”的线性接受过程,其出发点和落脚点都是读者的接受。从接受美学理论来看,文本意义的实现在于信息接受者的期待视野。基于接受美学理论视角的英语文学作品翻译活动,应关照读者的“期待视野”,关注“未定点”,聚焦如何实现“视野融合”,如此才能有效解决翻译过程中语言和文化的接受性问题,为翻译理论和实践研究拓展空间。

艺术本质核心元素探析

艺术的本质问题是一个论争了几个乃至十几个世纪的话题,也是一个曾经被“反本质主义”要放弃和搁置讨论的形而上问题。从历史上看,研究者曾从“模仿”“形式”“表现”来界定艺术的本质。可以说,艺术既是对现实的“模仿”,又不完全是,因为“模仿”的目的是要表达作者的情感和感受。艺术既是要创造一种美的“形式”,又不完全是,因为通过美的“形式”也还是要表达作者的艺术追求和主观感受。因此,无论“模仿说”还是“形式说”,最终的目的都是要表达或表现作者的主观感觉。“表现”才是艺术中最主要和最核心的元素,“表现说”也更充分地体现着艺术的本质。

当代文论的五个悖论——兼及“没有文学的文学理论”

随着生态危机和人工智能挑战的不断加剧,当代文艺审美活动的悖论性处境日益凸显,将悖论美学、悖论诗学和悖论批评推到了前台,强化了文学理论在“述”与“行”、“硬”与“软”、“质”与“文”、“向心”与“离心”、“域化”与“化域”之间的“悖论式振摆”。这种局面不仅显示了当代理论的“疑难与困境”,也使悖论本身的美学和诗学价值得到“解蔽”和释放,从而使悖论成为一种文学理论批评的新型样态。“没有文学的文学理论”是近年来有关文学问题的重要命题,其“含混”和“暧昧”不仅将当代文论的悖论性质全面体现出来,而且通过发挥悖论诗学的理论潜能和批判锋芒而对当下文艺文化现象做出了深入的反思和针砭。这是一种“可做的”理论而非一套“可用的”学说,其“洞见”和“盲视”当会在人们“做理论”的批评实践中得到彰显和检验。

论公安派之“真”的四个层面

在公安派的诗文理论中,“真”是一个非常重要的概念。前人对于“真”这一概念虽颇有研究,但对于“真”的意义层面划分仍不够细致。通过对相关文献的梳理,将公安派之“真”区分为人格、情感、文体、表达四个层面,并由此探讨“性灵”与“真”之间的关系问题,认为“性灵”和“真”其实是“体”和“用”的关系。以“真”为核心来建立公安派的文学体系,一方面颠倒了二者之间的因果位置,另一方面在某种程度上淡化了其他审美风格在公安派文学中的地位和价值。公安派对于“真”的追求,树立了独立自主的人格类型,实现了个人情感的自由书写,促进了晚明非正式文体的勃兴,也代表了晚明“重一己而轻外物”的时代文化精神。
