Objective: To examine the emotion management of women at risk for premature birth, and the connection to their optimism and social support.

Background: A shortened uterus cervix in early pregnancy (24-34 weeks gestation) is a predictor of preterm birth and is a common reason for hospitalization in a high-risk unit. Women hospitalized for this reason often feel a wide spectrum of emotions that may require emotional work, where deep acting techniques are used to evoke or suppress emotions in order to meet social expectations.

Nursing students' emotional work and its consequences following encounters with e-patients who present reliable or unreliable information; a scenario based cross sectional survey.

Background: Hochschild's theory of emotional work explains how people evoke or suppress emotions in order to adhere to social norms.

Companions or patients? The impact of family presence in genetic consultations for inherited breast cancer: Relational autonomy in practice.

As in other areas of medical practice, relatives accompany patients to genetic consultations. However, unlike in other areas, the consultations may be relevant to the relatives' health because they may be at risk of developing the same genetic condition as the patient. The presence of relatives in genetic consultation may affect the decision-making process and it raises questions about the perception of patient autonomy and the way it is practiced in genetics.
