Abstract: Introduction: The development of empathy during graduation aims at forming graduates who are more prepared to build a good relationship with their patients. The health empathy map (HEM) is an adapted tool with the purpose of developing empathy in students and future doctors using self-reflection. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of using the HEM, in the tutorial group scenario, on the empathy score measured by the Jefferson scale and in the assessment of the students’ empathic relationship with their patients. Method: This was a quasi-experimental study that used a mixed-method approach, in the explanatory plan modality carried out with 56 students from the 5th semester of the undergraduate medical course at José do Rosário Vellano University, UNIFENAS-BH. The students were divided into two groups: G1: students who used the HEM in the tutorial group (TG) strategy and G2: students who did not use HEM in the TG. All students completed a sociodemographic questionnaire at the beginning of the study and the Jefferson Empathy Scale at the beginning and the end of the study. Statistical analyses were performed comparing the JSPE-Br scores between the groups and the study phases, and the HEM content analysis was performed. Results: The global empathy score was high in all phases of the study and did not differ between the groups. The content analysis revealed that the HEM encouraged students to reflect on the patients’ conditions, based on the mainstays of empathy, and considering the reading of their narratives. The reflections ranged from the biomedical aspects to complex socio-affective perspectives. Conclusion: HEM stimulated the students’ empathic reflection in a non-care setting and was able to identify the scope of the reflections, allowing the different perspectives to be discussed.

Abstract Buddhism is often said to be an environment-friendly religion, but this thesis is rarely investigated. In this paper, we employ a mixed-method approach to examine this thesis in the case of Taiwan. We use data from the Taiwan Social Change Survey (tscs) and apply qualitative content analysis to examine practices among major Taiwanese Buddhist organizations. The findings suggest: (1) Buddhists in Taiwan engage significantly more in environment-friendly behavior than other religious members, and (2) members of different Buddhist organizations display similar levels of engagement in environment-related behavior. However, (3) Buddhist organizations engage very differently in environment-related activities. (4) Buddhist organizations engage more in nonpolitical environmental activities than they do in politically sensitive ones, and (5) among the four major Buddhist organizations, female-led Buddhist organizations show a higher level of environment-related practices than male-led organizations.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of mission statement contents and its function in guiding employee's behaviour from the organisational culture (OC) perspective. Design/methodology/approach – The research is based on a mixed method approach. The quantitative content analysis of mission statements was performed on a sample of 222 Slovenian companies. Mission statement's keywords were analysed with exploratory factor analysis. Advanced network analytic approaches such as PathFinder algorithm were utilised to obtain better understanding of interrelatedness of underlying mission components. Three interviews with the top managers were performed as well. Findings – The mission statement content analysis identified five associated organisations’ orientations: concern for stakeholders, orientation towards stability, orientation towards cooperation and innovation, and development and growth. The interviews confirm missions’ role in communicating the espoused or declared OC, although different approaches to achieve employees’ commitment to the organisation's mission can be identified in regard to the size of the organisation. Originality/value – The cultural approach to the analysis of mission statements confirms that the mission statements incorporate basic contents of OC. The methodology applied gives new possibilities in the research of OC perspective of strategic statements.

Exposure to different tones of movie violence has been shown to affect viewers in different ways. Particularly, exposure to violence designed to evoke a comedic reaction may cause an overall desensitization to violence, more so than violence of a serious nature. There is a significant gap in current literature regarding analysis of the nature of different tones of movie violence. This study seeks to explore said gap, particularly with regards to PG-13 rated movies. Eight PG-13 rated films were randomly selected from 1984 to 2019 and through a mixed-method approach, were each subjected to a content analysis. All eight of the films contained at least one instance of comedic violence, but the presence of serious violence was significantly more prevalent. Instances of comedic violence were all supported through stylistic and theoretical indications of comedy. This study finds that some of the most highly viewed films engage in the practice of making violence humorous, which has been found to have a negative effect on viewers. Future research should apply the method developed for this study on a broader scale and to different genres of film.

Adolescence is a phase where people want to experience new things in their life that this phase is vulnerable for their development. Various vulnerabilities can effect adolescence, which one of them is addicted and accessing to porn sites. This research used a mixed method approach between qualitative and quantitative research using descriptive form that aims to obtain an overview of the causes and forms of addiction to porn sites that experienced by adolescence. Informants in this research were 112 adolescence who consisted of 59 men and 53 women who were located in the city of Makassar aged 15-18 years old and never access porn sites, where researches used purposive sampling. This research used a addicted to porn sites scale that was adapted by the author based on Porn Addiction Assessment of Young as well as a questionnaire prepared by the researcher using a literature review regarding addiction porn sites as a research instrument. The data obtained will be analyzed using qualitative analysis model with a content analysis form and then processed using statistical methods of frequency distribution. The results in this research shows that pornographic in adolescent males is higher than adolescent girls. Factors that causes a person becomes addicted to porn sites are divided into external and internal, which external factors in this case is from friends, is the biggest factor that causes porn sites addiction in adolescents. However, internal factors, such as their own desires and curiosity will also affect adolescents addicted to porn sites. In addition, most teenagers in Makassar are classified as a compulsive sexual user. The researchers also found a new characteristic of user, namely defensive user based on the informants responses.

Many recommendations and innovative approaches are available for the development and evaluation of complex health interventions. We investigated the dimensions of complexity described in health research and how these descriptions may affect the adopted research methodology (e.g., the choice of designs and methods). We used a mixed method approach to review the scientific literature evaluating complex interventions in the health field. Of 438 articles identified, 179 were subjected to descriptive analysis and 48 to content analysis. The three principal dimensions of complexity were: stakeholder characteristics, intervention multimodality and context. Recognition of such dimensions influenced the methodological choices made during evaluation of the interventions with their use of designs and methods, which aimed to address the complexity. We analysed not only how researchers view complexity but also the effects of such views on researcher practices. Our results highlight the need for clarification of what complexity means and to consider complexity when deciding how to evaluate research interventions.
