Abstract Background Parents play an important role in the treatment of children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their dissatisfaction may result in negative impacts on children’s health outcomes as well as their medical treatment. Thus, exploring parents' experience and identifying and addressing challenging issues could be helpful in managing the patients’ chronic conditions during their hospitalization. This study aimed to explore parents’ experiences during the hospitalization of their children with CKD. Methods This study was a qualitative study with the content analysis approach. Participants were 15 parents of children with CKD who were selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected using in-depth, semi-structured, face-to-face interviews. Data were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Results Two overarching categories of “improper behavior of personnel” and “unprofessional performance of personnel” were extracted from the data. The first category included sub-categories of ‘staff aggression’ and ‘staff indifference’. ‘Disturbed interaction’, ‘poor patient care, and ‘poor skills of personnel’ were considered as the sub-categories of "unprofessional performance of personnel". Conclusion The results indicated that improper behavior and unprofessional performance of the healthcare personnel can intensify the child’s and parents’ problems, and make it more difficult for them to deal with these difficulties. The medical team can significantly help parents by establishing appropriate communication and behavior, providing them the required information about their child’s disease and the necessary care to mitigate or eliminate their problems. Also, health care authorities can develop and implement educational and practical guidelines for healthcare personnel to improve their knowledge and skills.

Abstract Background There is increasing concern about the level of violence and people with schizophrenia. However, research about violence in correlation with schizophrenia mostly focuses on patients as offenders rather than victims. Phenomenology was chosen to explore experience of patients with schizophrenia as a victim coping with violence in Indonesia. Results Of the 40 interviewees, average age was 35.8 years old (range 21–43). The 40 patients with schizophrenia comprised 26 males and 14 females. Violence typically included pushing, punching, or kicking, and restrained. The patient’s coping experiences as victims of violence were categorized into three themes: submission (n = 28), expression of anger to object (n = 33), and positive coping strategy (n = 23). Conclusion To shorten the evaluation required to choose coping strategies, domestic violence education/psychoeducation would be relevant.

Purpose Hypertension is the most common chronic disease throughout the world. Self-care is the key criteria in determining the final course of the disease. However, the majority of elderly people do not observe self-care behaviors. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the experiences of elderly people with hypertension in order to understand the barriers of their self-care behaviors. Design/methodology/approach This is a qualitative study with a conventional content analysis approach conducted in Tehran, Iran in 2017. Data collection was done among 23 participants – 14 elderly people; 6 cardiologists, geriatric physicians and nurses working in the cardiovascular ward; and 3 caregivers – who were selected by purposeful sampling. Using semi-structured, face-to-face interviews, data collection was continued until data saturation. Findings Three main categories, including attitude limitations, inefficient supportive network and desperation, all showed barriers to self-care by the experiences of elderly people with hypertension. Originality/value Lack of knowledge of the disease and its treatment process is one of the main barriers to self-care in elderly people with hypertension. Deficient supportive resources along with economic and family problems exacerbate the failure to do self-care behaviors.

A pandemic of a novel coronavirus-infected disease is currently ongoing in the world. Most patients have to be isolated due to the treatments. This study aimed to make sense of how patients with coronavirus-infected disease understand and experience infectious isolation. The research used a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. Data collection was conducted with in-depth interviews of nine patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) confirmed who had been in the isolation room. The analysis was conducted on interview transcripts by organizing keywords found into categories, sub-themes, and themes based on Colaizzi's approach. The results indicated that the participants experienced fright due to the isolation and attempted to integrate their isolation experiences. Isolation highlighted a sense of threat posed by cross-infection, a threat that participants experienced as originating from others and from themselves to others. Participants described feeling changes experienced after several days of treatment. Participants reported various symptoms of the disease and received careful care while in isolation. They still communicate with family. Isolated patients are able to deal with the treatment by improving their coping strategies. Participants reported the most support from their families, even from a distance. Future research could explore experiences of isolation from family and staff perspectives and identify the psychological aspect in caring for the COVID-19 patients.

The aim of this study is to reveal the experiences of graduate students in the field of Turkish education during the pandemic process. Phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. The sample of the research consists of graduate and doctoral students studying at different universities. Easily accessible case sampling was used to determine the study group. The data of the study were collected with the interview guide prepared by the researchers and given the final shape after the expert opinion was taken. The study group was reached by using internet tools (Zoom) and data were collected. The content analysis of data was made. As a result of the research, it was seen that during the pandemic process graduate students experienced advantages such as increased technological opportunities, accessing to online materials easily, time saving and efficient studying opportunities. However, disadvantages such as inefficient lessons, lack of interaction, inability to focus on lessons, data collection problems, and inability to benefit from libraries were also revealed as problems experienced by graduate students. Students expect technological opportunities to continue, but to ensure normalization in some issues that cannot be resolved with these opportunities. They think that face-to-face education is more qualified, communication is better, and research can be done more effectively.

Reprinted from legendary cyberspace pioneer Howard Rheingold's classic, The Virtual Community: Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier, “Daily Life in Cyberspace: How the Computerized Counterculture Built a New Kind of Place” situates the reader in the context of social media before the World Wide Web. Rheingold narrates how he became involved in The WELL community; details community and personalities on The WELL; and documents user experience with the WELL's conferencing system, including how conversations are created and organized and how social media compares to face to face dialog. Rheingold also explores social media-based dialog in terms of reciprocity; “elegantly presented knowledge”; the tradition of conversation in the Athenian agora; and the value of freedom of expression. Introduced by Judy Malloy.

Mothers of children with complex congenital heart disease face unique challenges and emotional burdens, while their children go through physical and psychological difficulties during disease progression. In this study, we aimed to explore the in-depth experiences and feelings of mothers facing the prognosis of their children with complex congenital heart disease that was surgically corrected. This is a descriptive qualitative study. We conducted semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with 12 mothers of children with complex congenital heart disease at a tertiary hospital in Seoul, Korea. The interview data were analyzed by content analysis. Participants were mothers aged between 40–58 years whose children were diagnosed with complex congenital heart disease which was surgically corrected. Based on the content analysis, the mothers’ experiences and feelings were categorized as immense suffering and adapting to a new life. Under the main categories, the concepts included feeling of abandonment, anxiety with potentially losing their children, having hope, seeking reassurance, being encouraged, and trying to embrace the situation. Mothers who cared for their children with complex congenital heart disease expressed emotions that changed sequentially alongside physical and psychosocial changes in the children. The results of this study are valuable for understanding the experiences and emotions of mothers facing the prognosis of their children with complex congenital heart disease in order to aid in the development of programs that support these mothers.
