Summary Formative research is an important first step in the design and development of children’s school-based physical activity (PA) interventions. Exploration of educator [headteacher and physical education (PE)-co-ordinator] perceptions toward the promotion of school-based PA, including PE delivery has however been limited. This study took a socio-ecological approach to explore the barriers and facilitators of children’s school-based PA from the perspective of school educators. Interviews were conducted with headteachers (n = 4), PE-co-ordinators (n = 4) and a deputy headteacher (n = 1) and data thematically analysed using Nvivo software (version 10). Findings suggested that, at an organizational level headteachers were the predominant driving force in the promotion of PA opportunities, yet institutional barriers including low priority for PA and PE were perceived to negate delivery. At an interpersonal level, strategies to increase the delivery of school-based PA were developed, however poor teacher-coach relationships and significant others reduced PA promotion opportunities. Child PA was further negated through intrapersonal factors, including lack of PE-specific teacher training and varying teacher interest in PA and sport. To increase primary school children’s school-based PA, barriers and facilitators at the organizational, interpersonal and intrapersonal level must be considered and targeted and researchers and schools should work in partnership to develop future interventions.

This study reports on the findings of a qualitative evaluation of a yoga intervention program for urban middle and high school youth in New York City public and charter schools. Six focus groups were conducted with students who participated in a year-long yoga program to determine their perceptions of mental and physical benefits as well as barriers and challenges. Results show that students perceived the benefits of yoga as increased self-regulation, mindfulness, self-esteem, physical conditioning, academic performance, and stress reduction. Barriers and challenges for a yoga practice include lack of time and space. The extent to which the benefits experienced are interrelated to one another is discussed. Suggestions for future research and school-based programming are also offered.

Parents are real beneficiaries of school services. Their involvement in school based activities has changed the role breadth of teachers. Schools can handle this parental involvement through the extra-role behaviors of teachers. These beyond the job behaviors or organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) of teachers are crucial for the schools. Despite the prescribed roles and duties, the schools cannot predict and infer through formally stated in-role job description, the entire range of extra-role behavior exhibited by teachers during and after school. In this study, teacher’s role breadth is examined under the broad spectrum of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) which resulted into a conceptual model on the determinants of teacher’s OCB. A qualitative evaluation (grounded theory) of 40 interviews has been conducted with all the stakeholders of school in India viz., principals, fellow-teachers, students, and parents. The most striking finding is that teachers are displaying prosocial behavior. Teacher’s OCB is found to have three determinants—OCB-Individual, OCB-Organization and OCB-Prosocial. Involvement of parents in school are redesigning and affecting the actions of teacher. Further, the implications and directions for future research have also been discussed.

72 Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, yet many patients with HCC never receive cancer-directed therapy, for reasons that are not well documented. In order to tailor interventions to increase access to appropriate therapy, it is critical to understand the barriers and facilitators to access to care and receipt of treatment in HCC. Methods: This study includes 10 patients with HCC, within 6 months of diagnosis, identified through either the University of North Carolina (UNC) multidisciplinary HCC clinic or the UNC Rapid Case Ascertainment (RCA) Core which identifies cancer patients through registrars at local hospitals. Recruitment is ongoing with a target of 20 patients, expected to complete in July 2018. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted by two qualitative researchers. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and coded independently by two coders, using a common codebook. Coding discrepancies were reconciled by consensus. Results: Most participants described that they had been incidentally diagnosed with HCC during evaluation for another health issue. Key facilitators of care were: physician knowledge about HCC; clear, honest, and timely communication regarding test results, plan of care, and prognosis; access to transportation; strong social support; and financial support through friends, family, insurance, or charity care. Barriers to care included: lack of transportation; delays in receipt of information or in scheduling appointments; or poor communication with the medical team. Conclusions: This study identifies key facilitators and barriers to accessing care for HCC in North Carolina (NC). Further investigation of a broader sample of HCC patients is warranted, and the qualitative data from this study will be used to create a survey to be administered to all patients with incident HCC in NC. Ultimately, this information will serve as the basis for tailored interventions aimed at improving access to appropriate, life-prolonging care for patients with HCC.
