The stigmatization of weight during
pregnancy is directed towards women that
are identified as overweight or obese before
pregnancy.
There is no definition identified for the
weight stigma related to pregnancy. This
article uses an iterative approach to come to
a conclusion on the definition of weight
stigma related to pregnancy
This stigma provokes poor patient-provider
relationships which can compromise care.
Healthcare provides need to be trained to
create a safe environment for both the
mother and the baby, leaving the stigma out
of the conversation

In this article, researchers used Rodger’s
Evolutionary Concept Analysis method to
examine human flourishing, specifically
from adolescents and young adults
(AYAs) who have cancer.
By approaching this study through
research, systematic review, and
tables/charts, researchers were able to
observe how these AYAs were able to find
meaning in their cancer experiences, and
see this adversity as a way to improve
relationships and to view life in a more
positive light.
The authors came with the conclusion
that healthcare workers should be able to
offer the appropriate care for AYAs who
have full potential to grow.
