Objective: This study explored stroke survivors’ experiences of altered body perception, whether these perceptions cause discomfort, and the need for clinical interventions to improve comfort. Design: A qualitative phenomenological study. Setting: Participants’ homes. Participants: A purposive sample of 16 stroke survivors were recruited from community support groups. Participants (median: age 59; time post stroke >2 years), were at least six-months post-stroke, experiencing motor or sensory impairments and able to communicate verbally. Interventions: Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were analysed using an interpretive phenomenological approach and presented thematically. Results: Four themes or experiences were identified: Participants described (1) a body that did not exist; (2) a body hindered by strange sensations and distorted perceptions; (3) an uncontrollable body; and (4) a body isolated from social and clinical support. Discomfort was apparent in a physical and psychological sense and body experiences were difficult to comprehend and communicate to healthcare staff. Participants wished for interventions to improve their comfort but were doubtful that such treatments existed. Conclusion: Indications are that altered body perceptions cause multifaceted physical and psychosocial discomfort for stroke survivors. Discussions with patients about their personal perceptions and experiences of the body may facilitate better understanding and management to improve comfort after stroke.

Background: Professional nursing organizations recommend the use of nursing diagnosis to enhance and facilitate the standardization of care and the development of a common language used by nursing practitioners. In the clinical reality of hospital emergency departments, however, its use is controversial. The objectives of the research are (a) to explore the use of nursing diagnosis in hospital emergency departments, and (b) to describe the meaning of nursing diagnosis for hospital emergency nurses. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted. A purposeful sampling and snowball technique were used. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, researchers’ field notes, and documental analysis. An inductive analysis based on Giorgi´s proposal was used to identify significant emerging themes from interviews and field notes. Seventeen participants with a mean age of 40 were recruited. Results: Three themes were identified. The results showed how the use of nursing diagnosis in hospital emergency departments depends on nurses to apply a working methodology in their practice, along with other dimensions such as the characteristics of emergency care, the type of health problems, and the complexity of care. Conclusions: The use of standardized language in emergency departments is complex due to the overcrowded nature of care in these settings.

This qualitative phenomenological approach examined the Generation X and Y cohorts in terms of their lived experience towards the  entrepreneurial journey in Singapore, which can consequently fill empirical gap on entrepreneurship among generational cohorts of Asian entrepreneurs.  The study sample comprised  15 generation X and 15 Y Singaporean entrepreneurs from 30 companies who identified their involvement in starting a business venture and in the day-to-day running of the business. Using NVIVO to cull down key components and ideas from the data, the study revealed that Generation X and Generation Y to have similar work attitudes, values and behaviours. The differences between the generations include differences in age, experience as well as obligations in life such as to one’s family. Further studies are needed to examine the differences of these cohorts in terms demographic, psychological and social variables to provide additional insights and identify contributing factors to successful entrepreneurial venture.

Background and PurposeThis qualitative phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of family members who have been referred to a cardiogenetics clinic following the loss of a family member to sudden cardiac death (SCD). These family members were evaluated in a Cardiogenetics Clinic in a Children's Hospital in the New York region, which utilizes an interprofessional approach to care.MethodsA qualitative phenomenological approach was used to explore the lived experience of family members that were referred following the SCD of a family member. The researcher used hermeneutic dialectics and interviewed family members that attended the Cardiogenetics Clinic.ResultsInsights gained through discussion were discussed in the following themes: stories of feelings being heard, stories of meaningfulness, and stories of mutual process. This led to the transformation of the typical linear clinic process to a transformative and dynamic model for integrated delivery of care.Implications for PracticeThis interprofessional model of care offers information regarding SCD, a genetic profile to determine risk for SCD, an integrative collaborative approach to care as well as nursing, medical interventions, psychological support, and counseling for families.

For people with kidney disease, transplantation is considered a better treatment option than dialysis. A kidney transplant does not, however, ensure an illness-free existence. Compared with the wealth of literature produced from a biomedical perspective, there is little qualitative research focused on the young adult transplant experience. This article presents the findings of a phenomenological study exploring young adults’ kidney transplant experiences. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, semidirected interviews were conducted with five people. Analysis of the transcribed interviews revealed that these individuals’ kidney transplant experiences were paradoxical in nature: Participants described an existence between sickness and health, self and other, life and death. Consequently, liminality was identified as one of the experience’s key elements and used together with the concept of rites of passage in its analysis. To incorporate these experiences, the term transliminal self is proposed.

How can the intangible aspects of everyday life be uncovered? A phenomenological approach has its origins in the everyday but also allows everything to be questioned. In studying belonging a phenomenological approach supported by a variety of qualitative methods produced a wealth of ‘insider’ information that could have been missed using more traditional methods. The research was based around multi-generational family groups as a family narrative focuses on relations between different family members over the generations rather than on an individual biography. Biographical interviews in family groups allowed families to talk about their lives together. Diaries put the direction of the research in the hands of the participants thus reversing, to some extent, the traditional power relations between researcher and researched. Through written and photo diaries participants shared details of their daily lives which might have been more difficult to elicit in a formal interview situation. The photos allowed the researcher to ‘visit’ places which are a part of the daily life of participants in a subtle and non-intrusive manner. These research approaches privilege the voices of the participants in research into their lives. Through demonstrating the richness of the data collected this article argues that such approaches could be used more widely.

Three important themes have been created including (1) geographical advantages; (2) recommendation of peers and professors; and (3) course design and curriculum. These findings have important implications for school officials and decision makers, with respect to allocating their resources wiser to make masters programs in JMC more attractive. In addition, this research study is the first analysis of its kind to apply a phenomenological approach to study experiences of Chinese students in making decisions of choosing a master’s program. This study lays a valuable foundation for similar topics through a qualitative research method.

AbstractThis study explores the lived experience of domestic violence in HIV-infected women in Iran using a qualitative phenomenological approach. Data were collected in 2014 through in-depth interview of twelve HIV-infected women purposefully selected from a counselling centre in Tehran. The qualitative data were analysed using a thematic analysis approach. The main theme that emerged was ‘the sunset of life’ – an emotional numbing and fragile marital relationship resulting from the violence suffered by the women. From this, three sub-themes expressing women’s feelings of hopelessness were extracted: ‘the destroyed life’, ‘being in the destiny prison’ and ‘living on the edge of annihilation’. The results revealed that although the experience of domestic violence had devastating effects on women’s lives, HIV infection was the factor that forced them to remain trapped in violent relationships. The findings emphasize the importance of designing comprehensive violence prevention strategies tailored to meeting the needs of HIV-infected women in Iran.

Abstract Introduction Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus. This new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. COVID-19 is now a pandemic affecting many countries globally. The aim of this study was to examine the lived experiences of staff nurses who are involved in care of COVID-19 patients during COVID-19 outbreak in Kerala. Methods Qualitative phenomenological approach was used in this study. Data was gathered from six registered nurses through telephonic interview and video call. Moustakas's structured method of inductive data analysis was used in the study. Results Three themes were evolved from the current study. They are challenging profession, balancing profession with family, and from uncertainty to satisfaction. Discussion Findings drew from the current study highlight ever seen areas in health industry. The health workers are the major workforce in any epidemic outbreak. Concern to their health needs to be one of the higher priorities. It is ideal to talk about infection control and use of personal protective equipment. But the practical implication needs to be further explored in connection with infection control.

The palace as a traditional cultural heritage of Indonesia experiences cultural tensionalong with the occurrence of modernity in Indonesia. Modernization has marginalized the role andfunction of the Palace as the center of traditional power. Conversely, efforts to build the existence ofthe Palace can be questioned about its relevance or merely cultural romance. For this reason, thisstudy examines three main problems. First, why does the Keraton preserve the Keraton Culture inIndonesia? Second, how are the forms of preservation of Keraton Culture in Indonesia? Third, whatare the implications of the Keraton Cultural Preservation in Indonesia? These three problems areexamined with three theories, namely the theory of social change, cultural adaptation, and geneticstructuralism. The research method used is qualitative research with three data collection techniques,namely observation, interviews, and document studies. Data were analyzed with descriptiveinterpretativetechniques through three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawingconclusions. The results show that the reasons underlying the preservation of the Keraton Culture in Indonesia include rebuilding the existence of the Palace, maintaining the status quo, structuraldifferentiation, and the charm of modern life. The forms of preservation of Keraton Culture include(1) passive preservation, namely the construction of the physical structure of Keratondan andmaintaining the attributes of royal identity; (2) active preservation, i.e. optimizing capital owned bythe Palace with specific patterns and specific goals in the structure of modern society; and (3)Keraton network preservation, namely strengthening collegial collective systems and networkexpansion. Implications of Keraton Cultural Preservation in social life include reformulation ofsocial relations and shifting the patron-client system. The implication in cultural life is in the form ofstrengthening Keratonsas cultural heritage and strengthening Keratonsas the center of culturaldevelopment.
