Usage of e-money for online purchases is becoming a trend among Indonesians, especially in Bandung, which points to changes in consumer behaviour.  But does the usage of e-money enhance the security and efficiency of the online payment system? This paper takes a phenomenological approach to answer the question.  Nine informants were selected by snowball sampling for observations and in-depth interviews. Triangulation was used to validate the data. The results indicated that based on the knowledge, feelings and experience of the users, the motives of the users in using e-money in their transactions were practicality, security and benefits such as discounts or bonuses. E-money left users feeling happy, satisfied and sophisticated since it simplified the transaction processes, but the user sometimes felt annoyed when they encountered technical and network problems.

The purpose of this qualitative study concerned developing an inductive and comprehensive understanding of the lived experiences of Malaysian homeowners and tenants of affordable housing. This was with respect to the variegated nature of the relationship between housing affordability and property values in the Malaysian housing market, the phenomenon under consideration. A descriptive phenomenological approach, involving both purposive and snowball sampling, was used to achieve the goal of this study: describing the relevant lived experiences in connection with the housing affordability issue in question. Through in-depth interviews, research participants described the experiences that stood out for them, in response to pre-prepared stimulus questions. Verbatim transcriptions of interviews were used as the primary source of data. However, triangulation was achieved through the use of interviews, corroborating field notes and reflective journals. Phenomenological analysis revealed ten emergent themes, namely financing, availability, race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, motives, property values, quality of life, stigma, quality of affordable housing and fairness. One clear implication arising from the findings was that if the Malaysian Government is seen to be doing more in an equitable fashion, this might lead to more positive perceptions in general of the issue of housing affordability. Another clear implication stemming from the findings was that the issue of housing affordability vis-à-vis property values, viewed at from a phenomenological perspective, is clearly a structural problem. Such contentions tend to significantly increase the desirability of the relevant decision-makers employing suitably multi-layered, multi-agency, systems thinking. In terms of practical measures, two key preliminary measures and one fundamental recommendation were made, pinpointing the desirability of improvements in property financing and increased perceptions of fairness.

In 2017, more than one million children became identity theft victims. Many perpetrators of child identity theft are parents, but there are limited data on these perpetrators. The purpose of this study was to understand parental perpetrators of child identity theft through the experiences of victims. Using a phenomenological approach, six adult victims of child identity theft engaged in in-depth interviews. Findings revealed perpetrators were perceived to lack guilt, be manipulative of their victim, and concerned about their public image. Victims often utilized a credit report to understand the scope of the identity theft and begin recovery. Federal agencies and creditors were contacted by victims as part of the recovery process, but were perceived as unhelpful. Implications for financial counseling and education are discussed, including the ethical boundaries of financial counselors and educators when working with victims who experience significant mental and/or physical health challenges as a result of the victimization.

Abstract Background Each year, 2.6 million of pregnancies end as stillbirth. Recent literature began to understand parents’ traumatic experience in stillbirth and its profound impact on parents’ mental health and psychosocial effect. But there is little understanding on the actual care and disposal of the stillborn baby, nor is there an agreement on how hospitals should care for the stillborn baby to mitigate parents’ profound loss. The purpose of this study is to understand parents’ perspective on hospital’s care for their stillborn babies, hoping to make suggestions on how can hospitals improve their care to mitigate parents’ grieves. Methods A descriptive phenomenological approach was adopted and twenty couples (40 individuals) who had to decide how to care for the remains of their stillborn babies participated in the study. The data were collected through in-depth interviews, which involved semi-structured and open-ended questions. The phenomenological methods of Giorgi were applied to analyze the data. Results Parents felt unprepared and lack of support when they had to handle their stillborn babies’ remains. The research results revealed two major themes: 1) Handling stillborn babies remain ignorantly; 2) Pacifying the disturbed soul on both sides. Given stillbirth’s profound implication for parents’ identity and psychosocial role, hospitals need to be more sensitive and proactive to parents’ cultural and religious needs when they care for stillborn baby and handle its body. Conclusions It was found in the study that reflection and identification were the emerging themes, which can enable healthcare professionals to understand parents’ concerns in a meaningful way, as they deal with the remains of stillborn babies. Moreover, it is hoped that hospital administration and health care personnel should consider stillborn parents’ concerns and incorporate their needs into nursing assessment and treatment practices.

This study explored the meanings held by Filipino immigrant teachers of their experiences as public school teachers in South Texas. A hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used in interviewing seven Filipino immigrant teachers who taught various subjects and grade levels. This qualitative method was useful in understanding subjective experiences, forming insights about individuals’ motivations and actions. The research question asked was: What does it mean to be a Filipino immigrant teacher in a public school in South Texas? After a careful inductive analysis of data collected, it was apparent that they viewed their experiences as an opportunity, challenge, and growth. The participants were selected by snowball sampling. This study contributes to the scant literature about the perceptions of Filipino teachers towards their professional identities and experiences, providing evidence that they have embraced their roles as positive contributors to their school communities. While the findings are not generalizable across the Filipino teacher population working in the United States, the participants’ voices were heard, recorded, and analyzed so that their unique identities, often unnoticed in the literature, may be highlighted.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe pregnant women’s lived experiences of hospitalization due to preterm labor in Korea. Methods: This qualitative study adopted a phenomenological approach. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with nine participants, over the age of 20 years, who had been hospitalized for more than 1 week after being diagnosed with preterm labor. All interviews were audio-taped and verbatim transcripts were made for analysis. The data were analyzed following Colaizzi’s phenomenological method. Results: The participants’ ages ranged from 26 to 36 years, and all were married women. They were hospitalized for 13.1 days on average. Five thematic clusters emerged from the analysis. ‘Withstanding hospitalization for the fetus’s well-being’ describes women’s feelings during preterm labor and their endurance during their prolonged hospitalization, rooted in their conviction that the fetus comes first. ‘Endless frustration in the hospital’ encompasses women’s emotions while lying in bed and quietly thinking to themselves. ‘Unmet physiological needs’ describes participants’ awareness of their inability to independently handle human physiological needs given the need for careful and limited movement. ‘Gratitude for the support around oneself’ reflects the support from family and medical staff. ‘Shifting perceptions and accepting one’s circumstances’ describes accepting hospitalization and making efforts to spend their remaining time in the hospital in a meaningful way. Conclusion: The findings in this study provide a deeper understanding and insights into the experiences of Korean women with preterm labor during hospitalization, underscoring the need to develop interventions for these patients.
