Methodological Aspects

Phenomenological research is commonly used worldwide in the field of health psychology to describe and explain the unique life experiences of health and disease. In Latvia, the phenomenological research in health psychology has not been performed yet. In this study, the methodological aspects of interpretative phenomenological analysis applied to explore the experience of fathers with a child in palliative care will be exemplified. The paper particularly aims to analyze the steps of interpretative phenomenological analysis applied during the study of one father’s experience. A single case will be presented detailing the disclosure of father’s experience and reflection on the process of interpretive phenomenological analysis on interview data. Conclusions in terms of the methodological aspects of interpretative phenomenological analysis will be provided.

This study aims to gain a deep understanding of life experiences of the Indonesian women entrepreneur and educator figures in carrying out their dual roles by applying phenomenological research method. Research participants were Indonesian women figures who are not only considered success in their profession but also in family life, which make them being recognized by the society. Drawing on data collected from semi-structured in-depth interviews supported by an examination of documents and observation. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, the findings in this study explore that the experience of life in their family, school, and the community before their marriage form dual roles of women entrepreneurs and educators figures. Meanwhile, the experiences of having variety of roles in the family, workplace, and society environment form the dual roles of women figures in this study after their marriage. Based on the results of this study suggests, among others, the importance of giving a woman a chance to study both formal and non formal even after she married. This study is limited to the women figures who work as an entrepreneur and an educator. So that research on women figures in other professions is very recommended.

Background: Childhood cancer not only presents challenges to the life of the child with cancer but also to the siblings’ daily family life. The aim of the current study was to gain a better understanding of siblings’ experiences of living in a family where one child has been diagnosed with blood cancer. Method: Ten siblings of children with leukemia or non-Hodgkin lymphoma completed a semistructured interview about their everyday family life experiences postdiagnosis. The verbatim transcripts of the interviews served as the data for an interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results: The results showed that overall the siblings experienced a continuity in many aspects of their family life: they still experienced their family as an important source of support and information/communication, as warm and loving and as a safe harbor where family members aim to protect each other. However, at the same time, the participating siblings also expressed that some things felt unmistakably different postdiagnosis: They felt that their family as a whole had been ripped apart, with a greater focus on the diagnosed child and changing responsibilities for each family member. Conclusion: This study informs parents and clinicians about the daily family life experiences from the siblings’ perspective, a perspective that is often overlooked. A focus on challenges as well as continuities within family life, the wish for connection expressed by the siblings, and the uniqueness of every sibling’s experiences is what can be taken away from this study by psychosocial workers in the field.

<p>In this commentary we explore the clinical aspects of Halvorsen, Benum, Haavind, and McLeod&rsquo;s (2016) compelling case study of &ldquo;Cora.&rdquo; We were humbled by the courage and commitment of both the client and the therapist in the case. We begin by providing our perspective on how the therapist&rsquo;s flexibility regarding certain boundaries helped to build trust between him and the client; and on how this trust in turn allowed the client find the courage to bring the most painful aspects of her experience to therapy. We then comment on certain methodological aspects of the case study. We discuss ways in which the steps describing the choices authors made could have been made more explicit. We question the necessity to present the case in the format of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA; Smith, Flowers, &amp; Larkin, 2009). We also question whether &ldquo;theory building case study&rdquo; is the best description for this particular study. In addition, we comment briefly on some of the themes reported by the study and share our own interpretative process, pointing out both the significant overlap and also those points where our interpretation may differ from the authors, including the role of transference interpretations and immediacy in the success of the case. Finally, we provide our perspective on the discrepancy between the quantitative versus qualitative outcomes obtained in the case.&nbsp;</p>

Abstract Individual in-depth, semi-structured interviews with three mathematics teachers were conducted to investigate the dynamics of their life-long relationships with mathematics, synthesised as mathematical identity from different identity positions in the context of dialogical self. The qualitative data were scrutinised employing interpretive phenomenological analysis that displayed mostly positive instrumental relationships with mathematics and explicit connections between the teachersí life experiences and their disctinct identity voices that surfaced in interviews. Similarly, teachers appeared to be experts in different professional spheres: pedagogy, subject or didactics. The teachersí accounts contain various models of relationships between the other-motive and the self-motive as reflected in their pedagogical approaches. Emergent patterns resulting from the interaction of the teachersí mathematical identity and their perception of studentsí mathematical philia/phobia included the humanistic approach with an instrumental interpretation of mathematics and its teaching methods, self-actualisation in achieving success in mathematics through hard work and the issue of attribution of failure in mathematics either to external or internal factors. Moreover, these dialogical models and interactive patterns show alignement with one of the core competences for educators in education for sustainable development, that is, achieving transformation in what it means to be an educator, in teaching and learning, as well as in the entire education system. Practical implementation of findings and limitations of the study are outlined along with venues for future research.
