This study is a phenomenological qualitative study.  The aim of the study was to investigate the factors to determine treatment compliance in hemodialysis patients, the importance of these factors, and relationship of factors. The study population consisted of 10 patients undergoing hemodialysis at the Bolu Private Nefro Dialysis Center. Appropriate authorizations and consent to perform the study were obtained from the facility where the study was performed, the ethical committee and the participating patients. In-depth individual interviews by the investigator with the help of a semi-structured interview form were conducted to collect the information between August 1 and August 24, 2011. The recorded data were evaluated by inductive content analysis. Content analysis allowed the identification of 26 codes for factors influencing treatment compliance. These codes were then categorized in seven broader categories: disease and health perception, effect on professional and social life, coping, fear, expectations, diet and fluid restriction, education and information. These categories were assessed according to their particular significance and reconciled under the overarching theme of factors determining compliance. The patients' age was 48.1+14.45 years, the duration of previous hemodialysis treatment 6.35+3.75 years and that of previous treatment for hypertension 5.2+3.33 years. The duration of previous treatment for patients who expressed that the chronic character of the disease did affect their perception of disease and health was 6-10 years. Patients aged over 40 had greater physical fatigue post dialysis; eight of the patients experienced or had experienced problems related to their recommended diet. Seven patients experienced physical restrictions due to their treatment; such restrictions were affecting negatively their occupational and social life. ÖzetAraştırma, hipertansif hemodiyaliz hastalarının tedaviye uyumlarını etkileyen faktörleri ve aralarındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla fenomolojik tipte nitel olarak gerçekleştirildi.  Araştırma kapsamına, Özel Nefro Bolu Diyaliz Merkezi'nde hemodiyaliz tedavisi gören 10 hasta alındı. Araştırmanın uygulanabilmesi için, araştırmanın gerçekleştirileceği kurumdan, etik kuruldan ve hastalardan yazılı izin alındı. Veriler, araştırmacı tarafından yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak, derinlemesine bireysel görüşme yöntemi ile 01-24 Ağustos 2011 tarihleri arasında toplandı. Kaydedilen verilerin çözümlenmesi, tümevarımcı içerik analizi ile yapıldı. İçerik analizi ile tedavi uyumunu etkilediği belirlenen 26 kod belirlendi. Kodlar kategorize edilerek;  sağlık ve hastalık algısı, iş ve sosyal yaşama etki, başetme, korku, beklenti, diyet ve sıvı kısıtlaması, eğitim ve bilgi edinme olmak üzere 7 kategori oluşturuldu. Kategoriler taşıdıkları anlama göre incelenerek,  uyumu etkileyen faktörler teması altında birleştirildi. Hastaların yaş ortalamasının 48,10+14,45 yıl, hemodiyaliz tedavi süresinin 6,35+3,75 yıl, hipertansiyon tedavi süresinin 5,2+3,33 yıl olduğu belirlendi. Hastalığın uzun süreli olmasının sağlık ve hastalık algısını etkilediğini belirten hastaların tedavi süresinin 6-10 yıl arasında olduğu saptandı.  40 yaş üzerinde olan hastaların diyaliz sonrası bedensel yorgunluk şikayetinin daha fazla olduğu; hastalardan 8’inin önerilen diyete uyumla ilgili sorun yaşadığı belirlendi. Hastalardan 7’sinin tedavi nedeniyle fiziksel sınırlılık yaşadığı, bu sınırlılıkların iş ve sosyal yaşamı, aile içindeki rolleri olumsuz olarak etkilediği bulundu.

Abstract Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Neuro-Myelitis Optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) are an autoimmune condition. Both of them have unexpected and acute relapses. The aim of this qualitative study was explaining the individual problems experienced of women affected by NMOSD and MS.Method: Sixteen NMOSD patients and eighteen MS patients completed a face to face deep semi-structured interview. Participants were recruited from the MS ward in Sina hospital. After typed the interview, the data were analyzed using conventional content analysis, as recommended by Graneheim and Lundman (2005). Data analysis is managed with MAXQDA2018 software.Results: In this study, a common theme for both disease groups was identified as "challenges arising from personal problems". The categories are named after each other and have many similarities, which in the NMOSD group include four categories including: "From uncertainty to the perception of threat", "Living with limitations", "Active coping until normalization" and "Facilitators of personal problems" appeared. In the group of patients with MS, five categories emerged: "perceived threat", living at a bottleneck, trying to deal with negative experiences, "facilitators of personal problems" and "problems related to physical rehabilitation".Conclusion: This qualitative study showed that the individual problems of the two groups of NMOSD and MS patients are somewhat similar. Also in the present study, people with MS need longer-term rehabilitation care than people with NMOSD, which should be considered and examined, a need that was less seen in people with NMOSD. The unpredictability of attacks in NMOSD and MS can have a profound effect on the daily lives of these people. Therefore, educating patients and staff about how to manage life in such diseases can be an important help to improve patient's health.

Background: Place attachment is the emotional bond between individuals and environment, which seems to increase wellbeing in old age. The purpose of this study was to explore the concept of place attachment from older adults’ perspective. Methods: In this qualitative study, a total of 14 older adults were purposively included in Aran and Bidgool city, Isfahan, Iran. The data were collected using a semi-structured interview and analyzed applying a directed content analysis approach. Results: As participants reported, place attachment meant intensive love, pride, dependency, and familiarity with the environment. Socio-economic attachment was identified as the most prevalent dimension of place attachment, followed by affective, physical, autobiographical, and religious-cultural attachment. Conclusion: Our findings provided a new understanding of place attachment in the context of Iran. The concept of place attachment was identified with a multidimensional nature from Iranian older adults’ perspective. Such a multidimensionality of place attachment should be considered while planning for age-friendly cities or the operationalization of the subject of aging in place, particularly in the developing societies, like Iran.
