Abstract Background Botulinum toxin (BT) injection is a new treatment for spasticity with hemiplegia after stroke. How a patient decides to receive BT injections after becoming aware of the treatment remains unclear. In this exploratory qualitative study, we aimed to investigate patients’ decision-making about treatment strategies in collaboration with family and health professionals and to identify conflicts in patients’ feelings about BT treatment. Methods The study included six patients with stroke sequelae. Data were collected using comprehensive interviews and were analyzed using the grounded theory approach and trajectory equifinality modeling. Results After patients learned about BT treatment, they clearly exhibited the following two concurrent perceptions: “the restriction of one’s life due to disabilities” and “the ability to do certain things despite one’s disabilities.” Some patients reported a “fear of not being able to maintain the status quo owing to the side effects of BT.” To alleviate this fear, timely support from family members was offered, and patients overcame anxiety through creative thinking. However, there were also expressions that revealed patients’ difficulties dealing with negative events. These factors influenced the patients’ development of “expectations of BT” or “hesitations about BT.” Conclusions To establish treatment strategies in collaboration with patients, healthcare professionals should show supportive attitudes and have discussions with patients and their family members to help patients resolve their conflicts and should establish treatment strategies that maintain the positive aspects of patients’ lives.

The uniqueness of the traditional Malay pattern of motifs has always received various responses from the audience either by appreciating, preserving, or documenting. This study is about the reference to some theories and methods used in evaluating a traditional pattern design created in the Malay world. The theories and methods used as references can help a study in evaluating and interpreting the pattern of the motif designs. However, there was a discussion on how a motif design was evaluated especially in the qualitative study. The researcher used general guided interviews with some of the craftsmen and selected academicians as the process of collecting primary data. Meanwhile, the process of collecting secondary data is through scientific writing such as magazines, books, and journals that examine the uniqueness of the traditional Malay motif design. This study can illustrate the researcher is referring to several theories as a method in analyzing motif design. However, the theories and methods should be based on suitable research whether using the qualitative or quantitative method. An analysis of the motif also depends on the scope of the research by the researchers whether to interpret, to make similarities and to compare, or to examine the cultural values found in a motive.
