Background: People and communities answer to cancer, like other diseases, due to their cultures, norms, and values. At the personal and family level, the unfamiliarity of the disease can cause many issues for a person. These conditions alter the patient's daily functions, roles, and emotions. Efforts to manage emotions and form behaviors become processes of bonding between the disease's body and social experiences. The aim of this research was to explore the emotions of cancer patients by discovering their meaning and interpretation. Methods: This research was handled in a qualitative approach utilizing the grounded theory method. Semi-structured interviews were done with 17 cancer patients and their caregivers. Participants were chosen by the purposive sampling method (snowball), and the data provided from the interview after implementation were analyzed by the theoretical coding method. Results: The findings constructed in 5 main categories including: helplessness in notification, expectation of continuous empathy, admission delay, desire for emotional retrieval and social distress. At last, "suspense of emotions" was constructed as the major phenomenon that was experienced by cancer patients. Conclusion: Due to the findings of the research, patients' confusion in the face of cancer and their special conditions creates a sort of coping with the situation which prevents the achievement of stability and early concepts, and until reaching relatively established conditions, the patient and those close to them are suspended for some time. This condition puts their emotions in a volatile situation, which brings the experience of suspending emotions.

Our aim of this study was to explore the constructions of cancer patients about their everyday interactions using an interpretive-qualitative approach. We wanted to know how cancer patients understand their condition and the challenges they face in family and everyday relationships. Accordingly, a basic qualitative research method was used, and interviews were conducted with 21 cancer patients and their caregivers. Participants were selected through the purposeful sampling in Ahvaz City, Iran. The collected data were firstly transcribed and then analyzed by the grounded theory coding analysis. The findings were represented in five main categories included: pressure on relatives, the limitation of relationships, helpful awareness, personal development, and the integrative diagnosis. According to the findings, cancer patients experience many fluctuations to adapt to the disease. During the interaction with family members and other people, patient experiences change in the actions and daily routine while, at the individual and family level, they experienced the limitation of relationships.

Expressions of anger within the healthcare context are a common occurrence, particularly in clinical situations where patients can experience emotional distress in the face of illness. The purpose of this study was to examine one aspect of this phenomenon by looking at expressions and causes of anger among Israeli cancer patients and their families from the perspective of oncologists who treat them. Twenty-two Israeli oncologists were interviewed from three oncology centers between March 2013 and June 2014. The grounded theory method was used to collect and analyze the data. Our study revealed that oncologists are exposed to and cope with expressions and acts of anger, aggression, and violence from some of their cancer patients and their families. The causes of this anger include physician blame, unrealistic treatment expectations, perceived errors in communication, and lack of follow up with bereaved families. Our study also revealed that the cultural context affected patient–physician interactions, including anger. This context included a culture that has open interpersonal boundaries and is family-oriented; a multicultural society that includes citizens with different cultural norms and expectations around cancer care; and a strained healthcare system that leaves oncologists limited in time and resources, including limited access to palliative care. Policy implications include reducing oncologist workload by hiring more mental health professionals, having translators available on site to help with language barriers, reducing administrative burdens, and incorporating palliative care widely to help with the psychosocial and physical care of patients and families.

Bay Salam is a type of forward contract between two parties to sell or buy a commodity set at agreed terms and conditions on a future date. The Bay Salam contract is beneficial for both buyer and seller because the seller receives full payment in advance while the buyer pays at a favourable price. Despite its benefits to farmers and vendors, this mode of financing is widely available. Therefore, this article aims to explore the concept of the Bay Salam contract and its potential application in financing the agricultural sector in contemporary banking system. This research adopts a qualitative approach by critically reviewing the literature and conducting semi-structured interviews with seven financial and agricultural experts in Nigeria using purposive sampling method. Findings show that Bay Salam is largely unpopular in modern days due to high level of risk and management responsibilities required for the financier. The novelty of this paper lies in the proposed model which combines the concept of Bay Salam and Takaful.

This study aimed to analyze, based on the specificities of the female condition, how the permanence and participation of women happens to be: “mothers, wives, housewives or workers” in the Department of Education, Campus XII of the State University of Bahia. It is a research based on the assumptions of the qualitative approach, and considering that it is a field research, it used questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to collect the data, later analyzed with the aid of content analysis. The results show that women have experienced a multiplicity of tasks that have overloaded them, this often forces them to choose between performing duties imposed on them, or studying. It is concluded that the profile of women has changed, and as a result of this the academy can no longer make this public invisible, because in the face of a numerical predominance and substantial majority, they now act as protagonists of their own lives.

Level Of Aspiration

The extended model of different forms of work satisfaction ( Büssing, 1991 ), originally proposed by Bruggemann (1974) , is suggested as a distinctive qualitative approach to work satisfaction. Six forms of work satisfaction—progressive, stabilized, resigned satisfaction, constructive, fixated, resigned dissatisfaction—are derived from the constellation of four constituent variables: comparison of the actual work situation and personal aspirations, global satisfaction, changes in level of aspiration, controllability at work. Preliminary evidence from semi-structured interviews with 46 nurses shows that the dynamic model is headed in the right direction (qualitative differentiation of consistently high propertions of satisfied employees, uncovering processes of person-work situation interaction). Qualitative methods demonstrated their usefulness in accessing underlying cognitive and evaluative processes of the forms, which are often neglected by traditional attitude-based satisfaction research.

Abstract. Intraindividual variability, along with the more frequently studied between-person variability, has been argued to be one of the basic building blocks of emotional experience. The aim of the current study is to examine whether intraindividual variability in affect predicts tiredness in daily life. Intraindividual variability in affect was studied with the experience sampling method in a group of 110 participants (aged between 19 and 84 years) during 14 consecutive days on seven randomly determined occasions per day. The results suggest that affect variability is a stable construct over time and situations. Our findings also demonstrate that intraindividual variability in affect has a unique role in predicting increased levels of tiredness at the momentary level as well at the level of individuals.

Norm Of Reciprocity

Abstract. Research on terror management theory has found evidence that people under mortality salience strive to live up to activated social norms and values. Recently, research has shown that mortality salience also increases adherence to the norm of reciprocity. Based on this, in the current paper we investigated the idea that mortality salience influences persuasion strategies that are based on the norm of reciprocity. We therefore assume that mortality salience should enhance compliance for a request when using the door-in-the-face technique – a persuasion strategy grounded in the norm of reciprocity. In a hypothetical scenario (Study 1), and in a field experiment (Study 2), applying the door-in-the-face technique enhanced compliance in the mortality salience condition compared to a control group.

: In this letter, the psychological impact of COVID-19 on cancer infected patients is discussed. Cancer is a serious health-related problem in the human body nowadays. The 2019 pandemic of coronavirus disease has developed into an unheard-of pandemic. Given the havoc wreaked by this pathogen worldwide, many countries have implemented a severe, legally enforced method of social distancing, in the form of a lockdown. Unless adequate preventive measures are taken, the cost of the pandemic and subsequent lockdown can prove to be irreparable. The obvious consequences of this lockout, such as the escalating levels of unemployment, imminent economic crisis, and extreme food scarcity faced by the sudden unemployed migrant labour population, have been widely reported. Cancer patients are a highly vulnerable group even during non-pandemic periods, often presenting late in the course of their illness, without the services required to avail recommended care. The incidence of psychological complications and emotional distress is considerably higher than in the general population, and the trauma of both the pandemic and subsequent lockdown contributes significantly to their mental trauma. This analysis is geared at solving the challenges faced by cancer patients in the face of this pandemic and subsequent lockdown, with a look at potential solutions that can be enforced.

The purpose of this book is to tell the story of Israel’s nearest neighbors—not only discovering what the Bible has to say about them but also what we can know from archaeology, ancient inscriptions, and other sources. The Bible itself presents these neighbors in nuanced and conflicting ways; sometimes they are friends or even related to Israel at a family level, and sometimes they are enemies, spoken of as though they must die in order for Israel to live. We are left wondering how the biblical portrayal might have affected our thinking about these people as historical groups, on their own terms. How would an Aramaean have described her own religion? How would an Edomite have described conflict with Israel? This book explores both the biblical portrayal of the smaller groups surrounding Israel and what people can know about these groups through their own literature, archaeology, and other sources. By uncovering the identity of the Philistines as settlers along the coast at the same time that early Israel carved out their place in the land, for example, one can better understand the social turmoil and political maneuvering that lies just beneath the surface of the biblical narrative, and can see more clearly just how the authors of the Bible saw themselves in the face of others.
