Abstract Background Visitors of bird fairs and bird owners in general are at risk of becoming infected by Chlamydia psittaci bacterium. This bacterium is mainly found in birds and can be transmitted to humans. The knowledge about psittacosis is limited among the general public, bird owners and even among doctors. Awareness to health problems regarding psittacosis, is important. By increasing this awareness among bird owners we encourage them to report these health problems and bird contact to the general practitioner. Experience shows that it is difficult to reach this particular group. The aim of this study was to gain more insight in the characteristics of bird owners to develop methods for providing appropriate information. This information aims to increase awareness regarding psittacosis. Methods The research adopted a qualitative approach and in depth interviews were held with sixteen bird owners using a semi-structured interview guide. The data collected was analysed using thematic analysis. Results Four themes were identified: social network related to birds, relationship with birds, awareness of risks and symptoms of psittacosis, information channels. Conclusions Most of the study participants were hobby breeders. They experience a strong connection with their birds and are experts in this field. In general they feel healthy. The bird owners are unaware of the fact they risk a disease as a consequence of their favourite hobby. However, they seem to be open for advice related to their health. It is recommendable to provide information from a near-by environment (e.g. through internet or at the local bird club) and use credible ambassadors. Increased awareness on the symptoms of psittacosis can be reached if appropriate information is received by bird owners. This might lead to more reports at the general practitioner and therefore prevents severe cases of psittacosis. Key messages Most bird owners were unaware of the health risks related to their birds. To prevent severe cases of psittacosis it is important to provide information from a near-by environment and to use credible ambassadors.

The aim of this study was to explore the existence of moral distress among nurses in Lilongwe District of Malawi. Qualitative research was conducted in selected health institutions of Lilongwe District in Malawi to assess knowledge and causes of moral distress among nurses and coping mechanisms and sources of support that are used by morally distressed nurses. Data were collected from a purposive sample of 20 nurses through in-depth interviews using a semi-structured interview guide. Thematic analysis of qualitative data was used. The results show that nurses, irrespective of age, work experience and tribe, experienced moral distress related to patient/nursing care. The major distressing factors were inadequate resources and lack of respect from patients, guardians, peers and bosses. Nurses desire teamwork and ethics committees in their health institutions as a means of controlling and preventing moral distress. There is a need for creation of awareness for nurses to recognize and manage moral distress, thus optimizing their ability to provide quality and uncompromised nursing care.

The study is about international kinship care arrangements in Ethiopia, focusing on Ethiopian children who applied for an Australian Orphan Relative Visa. A qualitative case study research method was used. Study participants were nine children between the ages of 13-17 years and nine parents/guardians of those children. Other participants were five experts from the Ministry of Women, Children and Youth Affairs, and Federal First Instance Court. In-depth interviews were conducted using semi-structured interview guides. Additional data were also derived from observations and document reviews. Thematic data analysis was used. Data from all sources were triangulated and categorized under the themes that emerged from the data. This study identified two categories of children:  those who cannot get proper care either due to the loss of parents or due to incapacity of parents to take care of them, and those children who use international kinship arrangement as a mechanism to access a better life in Australia. Children expressed their expectations to get a better education, employment, material benefits, and living conditions after placement abroad. They also expressed concerns about how well relatives abroad will treat them. The findings further revealed that the Ministry of Women, Children, and Youth Affairs was not appropriately documenting pre-placement and post-placement information. Since international kinship care is different from international adoption in its nature, there was a lack of clarity on the legal protection that should be given to children, which puts them in a precarious socio-legal situation. This study can be used as a starting point to understand and consider international kinship care arrangements as one important alternative child care option.

50 Background: Despite the benefits of hospice for patients with advanced cancer and their FC, many patients are referred late or not at all. To assess potential patient and FC barriers to enrollment, we assessed their perceptions, knowledge, and information preferences about hospice. Methods: We conducted qualitative interviews with 16 adult patients with metastatic cancer and a prognosis ≤ 12 months and 8 of their FC. We used a semi-structured interview guide to elicit their perceptions (including perceived barriers to utilization), knowledge, and information preferences about hospice. Two raters coded interviews independently and reached acceptable inter-rater reliability (κ > 0.85). We used content analysis to identify themes. Results: We found similar themes between patients and FC interviews. Participants had mixed views about which patients need hospice with some stating it is for patients only at the end-of-life and others perceiving it as important for patients who need care their family cannot provide. Notably, most patients perceived themselves as not needing hospice in the near future. While the majority perceived the role of hospice to enhance quality of life and provide comfort, some viewed it as providing practical support, including 24-hour care. 50% of participants had positive feelings about hospice, while others were more ambivalent. All participants felt they needed more information about hospice, yet they were mixed regarding the optimal timing of this information. Many thought it would be helpful to have information about hospice through pamphlets, websites, or videos, prior to a discussion with their oncologist. Most viewed denial and hope as the main barriers to early hospice enrollment. Conclusions: Study participants had misunderstandings about which patients were appropriate for hospice and regarding the services offered. Participants expressed strong desires for more information about hospice with educational tools, although were mixed about the optimal timing for reviewing these tools. These findings suggest that patients and FC would benefit from interventions to enhance their understanding of hospice and to facilitate a discussion with their oncologists.

Reporting on victims. Journalism praxis according to Flemish journalists Reporting on victims. Journalism praxis according to Flemish journalists Newspaper reporting of a tragic bus crash in Switzerland (Sierre, 2012) in which 22 Belgian and Dutch primary school children and 6 adults were killed, severely shook society. The printing of the children’s pictures on the front pages of popular newspapers (i.e. photos plucked from Facebook and the internet without the parents’ permission) resulted in the adaptation and extension of the deontological code for Flemish journalists (April 2012). We conducted 30 in-depth interviews with journalists (print and audiovisual reporters) during the winter of 2012 and asked them in what way the adapted code has had an impact on the reporting on victims in the journalistic praxis. A semi-structured interview guide was used, the interviews were recorded, fully transcribed and analyzed. Our results show that permanent attention towards the very practical and daily use of the code is essential as most journalists use it rarely and mostly only after reporting has gone wrong.
