Comprehensive List

In order to properly evaluate crises that occur in sports, scholars have previously called for a sports-specific crisis communication typology (Wilson, Stavros, & Westberg, 2010). Two studies were conducted to develop the resulting typology. Study 1 utilized a questionnaire to obtain a comprehensive list of sports-related crises that were later grouped into twelve crisis types and three unique clusters through the use of qualitative content analysis. Study 2 utilized a questionnaire completed by 282 college students to determine the levels of crisis responsibility attributed to each cluster of crises. The resulting typology provides the necessary foundation for crisis communication research that uses sports as a context by evaluating the level of organizational blame that exists when a crisis occurs.

Communication Challenges

Background: Establishing appropriate communication with cancer patients is necessary to make decisions for them and involve them in the care process to prevent the adverse consequences of cancer treatment. Thus, the qualitative study on the challenges experienced by oncology nurses can lead to a better understanding of these challenges and help these nurses acquire advanced communication skills. Objectives: This study was conducted to explain the communication challenges experienced by oncology nurses during providing care to cancer patients by applying a qualitative content analysis approach. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted with the participation of 18 nurses who were selected by the purposive sampling method, working in the oncology departments of Iran’s hospitals in 2021. Semi-structured interviews were held for data collection. After transcribing the interviews, data analysis was performed using the Granheim and Landman (2004) method. The MAXQDA software (2020) was used for data management. The criteria proposed by Lincoln and Guba were used to assure data accuracy and reliability. Results: Thirty subcategories, eight categories, and four themes were extracted following data analysis. The themes included the nurse’s close relationship with cancer patients as a double-edged sword, curvy and sinusoidal professional communication for oncology nurses, relationship with an opposite-gender patient as a missing factor in nursing care, and marginalization of relationships during the coronavirus pandemic. Conclusions: Nurses’ challenges in communicating with cancer patients can be reduced by improving their communication skills via various strategies, including empowering nurses by employing cognitive empathy and using communication models such as the Comfort model.

Culture Development

Besides many benefits of the cell phone technology, numerous arguments are raised on the different and important negative effects of such a technology. This qualitative content analysis study explored the common usages of smart phone technology, its challenges, and benefits among Iranian college students. Participants were 32 bachelor degree students who were recruited using purposive sampling method with maximum variation. Data were collected through 11 individual semi-structured interviews and 3 focus group discussions (5-8 students in each group). Data analysis was done based on a conventional content analysis approach. Data analysis resulted in 3 main themes and 12 sub-themes. The main themes included “Easy life” (achieving information, handling school affairs, easy communication, and cheap communication); “Spending time” (virtual friendship, participation in various social networks, computer games, watching movies and cartoons, and reading stories and novels); and “The experience of challenges” (physical problems, psychosocial stress, and mood and behavioral problems). Based on the students' experiences about the smart phones technology usage, authorities, cultural institutions, and educational policy makers should encourage culture development using education through media and education during the early childhood and before using any software.
