| Abstract |
This article seeks to analyze the meaning of the medical diagnosis in the biographies of people who suffer from a rheumatic disease. Based in the ethnographic method, in-depth interviews were carried out among fifteen informants affected by different rheumatic conditions from the City of Barcelona. These interviews make it possible to see how the symptoms, dysfunctions or limitations experienced up until the definitive diagnosis can be reinterpreted in the presence of a model that explains the condition and gives it a name, attributing new meaning to the symptoms and establishing certain care and coping strategies. After a period of uncertainty, this definitive medical diagnosis allows for an enigmatic chronic condition from which the person is suffering to be deciphered, representing a turning point in the care trajectory that is understood as a biographical disruption redefining the past and future of the subject. However, it is often necessary for those affected to undergo a complex, erratic and uncertain itinerary to reach the final diagnosis, which is then identified retrospectively as a milestone in the illness experience. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 April 2018.
All research outputs
#17,604,528
of 25,806,080 outputs
Outputs from Salud colectiva
#171
of 272 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#198,607
of 308,436 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Salud colectiva
#10
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,806,080 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 272 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 308,436 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
