This article attempts to explore the ethical issues relating to the nursing management of medication errors in clinical areas in Macau, China. A qualitative approach was adopted. Seven registered nurses who were involved in medication errors were recruited for in-depth interviews. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using content analysis. Regarding the management of patients, the nurses acknowledged the mistakes but did not disclose the incidents to patients and relatives. Concerning management of the nurses involved by senior staff, most participants experienced fairness, comfort and understanding during the process of reporting and investigation. The ethical issues relating to the incidents were discussed, particularly in the Chinese context. There is a need for further study relating to the disclosure of medication incidents to patients and some suggestions were made.

The elderly (elderly) is one of the groups that are susceptible to being infected with Corona Virus Diseases 19 (Covid 19). Therefore, the elderly group is a priority group to get the Covid 19 vaccination. This study aims to describe and analyze the scope of the implementation of the COVID-19 vaccination program for the elderly in the Cijayanti Health Center work area which is still low. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews with midwives as the holder of the immunization program as the main informant, the doctor as the head of the vaccinator team, the holder of the elderly program, the Cijayanti, and Bojong Koneng village offices, and 10 elderly people. The achievement of the elderly vaccination at the Cijayanti Health Center was only 10.8% of the total number of elderly people. There are several obstacles in collecting data on elderly who are willing to be vaccinated because of the influence of the environment, both from their immediate family/children and from the surrounding community. Environmental factors, namely family support, community leaders, religious leaders greatly influence the participation of the elderly in covid vaccination 19.

This study examined the effects of a declining economy on the profession of chartered accountants (CAs) in Zimbabwe. The study adopted a qualitative approach using a pragmatic grounded theory design. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with five purposively sampled CAs and two key informants drawn from the professional body and an institution that trains CAs. Furthermore, secondary data were drawn from the professional body’s archives and from newspapers. Data from interviews and documents were analyzed through thematic analysis and content analysis, respectively. The study has revealed that the profession of CAs has been changing in response to the declining economy and the changes include losing its status and autonomy, increased competition from other accounting fields and compromised professional standards. It also emerged that professionals themselves engage in both negative and positive activities that enable them to survive the effects of a declining economy. Recommendations are provided for the professionals and the professional body in dealing with the impact of a precarious economy.
