Hiv Aids

This descriptive and exploratory study analyzed the proxemic factors of the nursing team and HIV/AIDS patients in a hospital environment in Fortaleza - CE, between October and November 2004. Data were collected through non-participant observation. Forty-one interactions were analyzed, in which no gender influence was observed. The professional's position towards the patient was mainly standing; intimate distance occurred in 21.95% of interactions, which were mostly related to technical procedures; personal distance predominated in 63.41% of cases, which were related to technical care; social distance occurred in 14.64% of interactions, which were aimed at conservation; obstacles were present in 15 interactions; local touch was the most frequent contact behavior; visual contact was present in 11 interactions, with a view to regulating the conversation flow; the tone of voice was found always adequate. Through proxemics, we can identify important factors in communication with HIV/AIDS patients.

Policies And Practices

This chapter explores Diane Lewis’s professional life as a courageous, self-determined intellectual activist. She studied anthropology at predominantly white institutions during the years when America’s apartheid policies and practices were firmly in place. Undaunted by the explicit racism and sexism of her time, Diane K. Lewis earned a PhD from Cornell University in 1962. Her experiences with blatant discrimination inspired a fiery intellectual activism. Although critical of anthropology’s colonial influences, Lewis believed the discipline could be transformed through activist engagement by insider or native scholars. Her most influential work addressed the intersection of race, gender, and class and the impact of HIV/AIDS on black communities.
