Intended Use

The purpose of this interpretative phenomenological analysis study was to explore the meaning persons who experience disability ascribed to disability simulations as a pedagogical tool. Reflective writing, one-on-one interviews, and field notes were used to gather information on disability simulation use in a required postsecondary kinesiology course. Seven people who use wheelchairs full time (3 men, 4 women), ranging in age from 28 to 44 yr (average age = 36) shared their perspectives. The thematic analysis revealed 3 themes. The theme “Disability Mentors Required” revealed the participants’ collective questioning of their absence from the design and implementation of disability simulations. “Life Is Not a Simulation” illustrated the juxtaposition of disability reality and disability simulations. “Why Are They Laughing?” contrasted the use of fun as a strategy to engage students against the risk of distracting them from deeper reflection. Through the lens of ableism, the importance of disability representation in the development and implementation of disability simulations was affirmed as a means to deepen pedagogical reflexiveness of their intended use.

This qualitative research using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) explores the brand experience of Recoletos Education in the Philippines. Two levels of interpretation are generated: that of the participants who make sense of their brand experience as lived experience and that of the researcher who makes sense of the participants’ interpretations. Validated transcripts from in-depth interviews reveal the participants’ convergent and divergent interpretations of their brand experience. Rigid thematic analysis helps construct a master table of themes with four superordinate themes expressed through metaphors: the house on rock, the shepherd with his flock, the good fruit, and the strong winds and the big waves, and these, in turn, correspond to brand attributes, synergy and strategy, brand experience dimensions, and brand challenges, respectively. Finally, these themes reveal and comprise the single overarching theme: the key elements in the brand landscape of Recoletos Education.

Parent-adolescent communication on sexuality is one of the key determinants of sexual and reproductive health outcomes of adolescents. Despite parent-adolescent communication on sexuality, statistics show an increase in the number of teenage pregnancies. This interpretative phenomenological analysis explored the perceptions of parents in a rural village in the Umzinyathi Health District in KwaZulu-Natal regarding the provision of sex education to adolescents. Ten parents of adolescent children were purposively selected to participate in the study, and data were collected using face-to-face, semi-structured interviews. Field notes were also taken to complement the audio recordings. Data were analysed thematically using the framework for interpretative phenomenological analysis. The results showed that rural parents face challenges in providing sex education to their teenagers. Sex education provided to adolescents is uncoordinated and haphazard. Parents have inadequate information and they are fearful and embarrassed to initiate sex talks with their teenagers. An age-appropriate, structured, formal, culture-sensitive, community-based sexual education programme aimed at empowering parents with knowledge and skills to provide contextual and age-relevant sex education to their teenage children is recommended.

The Impact

The purpose of this study was to examine the meaning that individuals with psoriasis ascribed to their youth physical activity experiences. This qualitative, retrospective inquiry was based on an interpretative phenomenological analysis. A purposive sample of six participants (ages 20–46; four female, two male) residing in the United States were included. Semi-structured, audio-taped telephone interviews and reflective field notes acted as sources of data for this study. Thematic development was undertaken using a four-step interpretative phenomenological analysis process and themes identified across participants were summarized, presented as results, and discussed concurrently. Based on the data analysis, three interrelated themes were constructed from the participant transcripts: (a) “I just stopped signing up”: the impact of physical discomfort; (b) “kids started calling me ‘Flake’”: embarrassment, social anxiety, and bullying; and (c) “I felt like he was calling me out”: disclosing psoriasis to stakeholders. These three constructed themes provide unique insight into the embodied experiences of those with psoriasis, and fill a previous gap in the extant literature. Practitioners aiming to increase physical activity engagement among this population can use these findings to design more effective programmes and strategies that address the needs identified in this investigation.

Perception Of Control

Research has examined instances of incivility witnessed by physicians, nurses, or employees in hospitals. Although patients and visitors are members in hospitals, witnessed incivility from their perspective has rarely been empirically investigated. The aims of the current study are 2-fold: (1) to investigate the forms of incivility patients/visitors witness in hospitals and (2) to examine whether these patients/visitors believe these incivilities impact the target’s sense of perceived control. An integration of interpretative phenomenological analysis and thematic analysis was used to code qualitative data (N = 77). Eight themes of witnessed incivility and 3 themes for impact on perceived control were identified. The results illuminate patterns of incivility targeted at marginalized groups, historically underrepresented in hospital-focused incivility research (eg, homeless individuals, incarcerated individuals, the elderly individuals). The majority of witnesses believed the incident of incivility would negatively impact the target’s perception of control, possibly affecting their experience and health. The current study demonstrates that empirically investigating witnessed incivility from the patient/visitor perspective provides critical information about the unique patterns of mistreatment occurring within hospital contexts.

Chapter 9 of Performing Music Research introduces the characteristics of qualitative analysis, focusing on the interpretative role of the researcher. Given that large volumes of information are typically collected in qualitative enquiry, the chapter presents ways of organizing and storing data and discusses the strengths and limitations of computer-assisted analysis. It goes on to discuss three types of qualitative analysis: thematic analysis, suitable for identifying patterns of meaning across data collected from multiple participants; interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), suitable for understanding the lived experience of individual participants; and qualitative synthesis, suitable for developing a holistic account based on a synthesis of the data. Throughout, the chapter explains how to report qualitative results efficiently and effectively.

This chapter analyses the design and implementation of a video trigger as a pedagogical tool to facilitate interprofessional understanding in several professional Bachelor courses at a faculty of Health Sciences. It uses actor-network theory as an analytical tool to uncover the main human and non-human actants that are involved in the processes of planning, designing, implementing and using the video trigger. It also attempts to bring to light the various types of interconnections that exist between those actants. The data that forms the basis of the analysis is qualitative, and includes meeting minutes and field notes. The analysis reveals the existence of a dichotomous relationship between technology and pedagogy, which is at the source of major challenges in the design and use of a video trigger as a pedagogical tool.

Experiences Of Women

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore women’s experiences of criminal justice systems to inform the development of guidance on working with women. Design/methodology/approach A two-part, independent samples and qualitative study using semi-structured interviews incorporating both interpretive phenomenological analysis and thematic analysis was conducted. In Study 1, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six women on probation in the community and data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Interviews in Study 2 were conducted with seven women in custody with data analysed using inductive-deductive thematic analysis. The applicability and expansion of Study 1 themes was then explored. Findings Seven emergent themes indicated relational approaches to offender management may improve experiences of judicial systems for female offenders and for their probation officers. This approach may help prevent common systemic issues from perpetuating negative interactions between these groups. Specific suggestions for developing relational security and consistency of care within these relationships are provided. Practical implications Taking a relational approach to female offender management may help remedy some of the systemic difficulties faced by female offenders and their probation officers. Originality/value By focussing on the experiences of women screened in to the offender personality disorder pathway this study provides insight as to how this service can assist in the development of relational security between probation staff and their clients.

The purpose of this study was to adopt an explicitly intersectional approach to examine the embodied perspectives of males with visual impairments about physical education. An interpretative phenomenological analysis research approach was used, and six adults (18–33 years) who identified as males with visual impairments acted as participants. The primary sources of data were semistructured, audiotaped, telephone interviews and reflective field notes. Thematic development utilized a four-step interpretative phenomenological analysis-guided analytical process. Based on the data analysis, the following three interrelated themes emerged: (a) “I didn’t feel very integrated”: Noninclusionary experiences based on blindness; (b) “Oh great, where’s my cane now?”: Bullying, blindness, and maleness; and (c) “Okay, just do what you can”: Competitive culture glass ceiling. The themes highlight several issues that have been faced by males with visual impairments, which should be considered by physical education and adapted physical education personnel to enhance the quality of education for this population.

Studi ini menganalisis nilai-nilai pendiri yang berkontribusi pada suksesi antargenerasi dari bisnis keluarga besar yang dianggap konglomerat di Indonesia. Akses informan dalam usaha keluarga besar ini masih langka, terutama karena sifat usaha keluarga yang tertutup. Dengan demikian, meskipun beberapa peneliti telah membahas hubungan antara nilai dan umur panjang, studi yang menyinggung bisnis keluarga besar di ekonomi yang sedang berkembang ini masih minim. Selain itu, penting untuk mengetahui bagaimana nilai-nilai para pendiri mempengaruhi umur panjang bisnis keluarga besar mereka, mengingat dampak kelompok konglomerat tersebut terhadap perekonomian Indonesia. Para peneliti menggunakan Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) dengan mewawancarai 15 informan yang terdiri dari penerus dan profesional non-keluarga kunci dari 5 kelompok konglomerat. Pengamatan dan catatan lapangan juga dicatat untuk melakukan triangulasi dengan data wawancara. Penelitian ini mendorong wawasan empiris baru ke dalam nilai-nilai para pendiri dalam mengubah manajemen bisnis keluarga dan umur panjang mereka. Temuan tersebut mengungkapkan bahwa nilai-nilai integritas dan kewirausahaan pendiri adalah yang teratas, diikuti oleh kesopanan, kepercayaan, tujuan yang lebih tinggi, dan kepercayaan kepada Tuhan. Nilai-nilai yang ditimbulkan ini menopang umur panjang bisnis keluarga besar hingga generasi berikutnya dan membuka jalan potensial untuk penelitian di masa depan.  This study analyzed the founders’ values that contribute to the intergenerational succession of large family businesses that are considered conglomerates in Indonesia. The access to the informants in these large family businesses is scarce, especially due to the reserved nature of the family business. Thus, even though several researchers have addressed the relationship between values and longevity, the studies that allude to large family businesses in this emerging economy is still scant.  Besides, it is vital to investigate how the values of the founders affect the longevity of their large family businesses, considering the impact that these conglomerate groups have on Indonesia’s economy. The researchers employed the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) by interviewing 15 informants composing of successors and key non-family professionals from 5 conglomerate groups. Observations and field notes were also taken note of to triangulate with the interview data. This research induced new empirical insights into the founders’ values in transforming their family business management and longevity. The findings revealed that the founder's values of integrity and entrepreneurship are among the top, followed by modesty, trustworthiness, a higher purpose, and trust in God. These elicited values underpin the longevity of large family businesses into the next generations and enkindle potential avenues for future research.
