The Government

This study discusses the problems and solutions to cases that occur in Malaysia. The heritage should be preserved for the next generation's gaze. To protect the heritage, the government has enacted an act. Prior to the National Heritage Act 2005, there were several acts already adopted. However, it still does not cover the whole section or regulation that can protect, conserve, and preserve the heritage and culture. The objective of this study is to make a comparative study of legislation by selecting multiple countries. This study used a qualitative study methodology, which is a library study and previous case study. The comparison between countries would be an added value in the provision of national laws in an effort to protect the nation's heritage.

More organizations are currently migrating toward open source desktop software (OSDS). However, such migration is complex. More insight into the process will assist decision makers in making a well-informed decision on whether or not to migrate to OSDS and in building a strong business case to support this decision. In this paper, the authors present the results of a qualitative study in seven Belgian organizations and report on why these organizations have adopted OSDS and how the migration was undertaken. These cases represent challenging adoptions of OSDS. Results indicate that providing added value for users can positively influence user perceptions. In addition, the authors found strong empirical support for the guidelines with respect to the migration to OSDS that have been proposed in academic literature.

The use of qualitative research methods by the Inspectorate SZW Margaret Chotkowski, Francien Rosing & Sandhya Badal The Inspectorate SZW conducted a longitudinal qualitative study on labor market re-integration services for unemployed youth on social benefits. This research design had some ethnographic features and was innovative for the Inspectorate. This article examines whether the Inspectorate and other, similar organizations can benefit from using such research methods. First, we describe the main characteristics and results of our research. Then we reflect on the research design and its added value, limitations and dilemmas for the Inspectorate. We conclude by illustrating how qualitative research with ethnographic features is, with some limitations, a valuable addition to the array of intervention methods used by supervising bodies such as the Inspectorate.

Abstract Background Older cardiac patients are at high risk of readmission and mortality. Transitional care interventions (TCIs) might contribute to the prevention of adverse outcomes. The Cardiac Care Bridge program was a randomized nurse-coordinated TCI combining case management, disease management and home-based rehabilitation for hospitalized frail older cardiac patients. This qualitative study explored the experiences of patients’ participating in this study, as part of a larger process evaluation as this might support interpretation of the neutral study outcomes. In addition, understanding these experiences could contribute to the design and application of future transitional care interventions for frail older cardiac patients. Methods A generic qualitative approach was used. Semi-structured interviews were performed with 16 patients ≥70 years who participated in the intervention group. Participants were selected by gender, diagnosis, living arrangement and hospital of inclusion. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. In addition, quantitative data about intervention delivery were analysed. Results Three themes emerged from the data: 1) appreciation of care continuity; 2) varying experiences with recovery and, 3) the influence of an existing care network. Participants felt supported by the transitional care intervention as they experienced post-discharge support and continuity of care. The perceived contribution of the program in participants’ recovery varied. Some participants reported physical improvements while others felt impeded by comorbidities or frailty. The home visits by the community nurse were appreciated, although some participants did not recognize the added value. Participants with an existing healthcare provider network preferred to consult these providers instead of the providers who were involved in the transitional care intervention. Conclusion Our results contribute to an explanation of the neutral study of a nurse-coordinated transitional care intervention. For future purpose, it is important to identify which patients might benefit most from TCIs. Furthermore, the intensity and content of TCIs could be more personalized by tailoring interventions to older cardiac patients’ needs, considering their frailty, self-management skills and existing formal and informal caregiver networks.

Background:We have developed a model of stratified exercise therapy, in which three knee osteoarthritis (OA) subgroups (i.e., ‘high muscle strength subgroup’, ‘low muscle strength subgroup’ and ‘obesity subgroup’) can be distinguished and provided a subgroup-specific intervention. Currently, the (cost-)effectiveness of this model compared to usual exercise therapy is tested in a large-scaled randomized controlled trial (OCTOPuS-study [1]). Alongside this trial, we performed a qualitative study to explore perceived barriers and facilitators of the application of this model in primary care.Objectives:To explore barriers and facilitators of the application of this model in primary care, as perceived by patients, physiotherapists and dieticians.Methods:Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews in a random sample of 15 patients (5 from each subgroup), 11 physiotherapists and 5 dieticians, from the experimental arm of the OCTUPuS trial. A thematic analysis of the data was performed.Results:We identified 14 themes in 5 categories. In general, patients and therapists were positive about the added value and applicability of the model, although some physiotherapists would prefer more flexibility. Regarding the ‘high muscle strength subgroup’, both patients and physiotherapists reported mixed feelings on the low number of supervised sessions, with some perceiving this low number as advantageous for stimulating the patient’s own responsibility, whereas others as hindering an optimally guided treatment. Regarding the ‘obesity subgroup’, dieticians and physiotherapists acknowledged the added value of the combined intervention, but both were disappointed by the lack of interdisciplinary collaboration. Moreover, those patients in this subgroup already following a diet restriction, therefore not perceiving any added value of the diet intervention.Conclusion:This qualitative study revealed relevant barriers and facilitators of our new model of stratified exercise therapy, which will help us interpreting the upcoming results on its (cost-) effectiveness [1]. If proven to be (cost-)effective, implementation strategies should specifically focus on guidance of patients from the ‘high muscle strength subgroup’ within only a few sessions, collaboration between physiotherapist and dietician in the ‘obesity subgroup’, and adequate use of booster sessions after the supervised period to optimize treatment adherence.References:[1]Knoop J, Dekker J, van der Leeden M, de Rooij M, Peter WFH, van Bodegom-Vos L, van Dongen JM, Lopuhäa N, Bennell KL, Lems WF, van der Esch M, Vliet Vlieland TPM, Ostelo RWJG.

BackgroundPatients recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have specific educational and supportive needs. These could partly be addressed with mentoring by other patients living with RA. This qualitative study explores stakeholder perceptions towards peer mentoring in early RA care.MethodsTwo focus groups with patients with early RA (n=10), one with patient organisation representatives (n=5), one with rheumatologists (n=8) and one with rheumatology nurses (n=5) were held. Two patient research partners supported analysis and interpretation.ResultsFour overarching themes were found: added value, experience with peer mentoring, concerns and need in daily care. Patients and patient organisation representatives confirmed the potential of peer mentoring especially regarding sensitive topics not easily discussed with professionals. Patients felt it could provide additional understanding and recognition. Nurses and rheumatologists were less convinced of the added value of peer mentoring because patients never mentioned it and they were concerned about the loss of control over correct information provision. The need for peer mentoring was perceived as person and disease phase-dependent and should therefore be optional, rather than a care standard. The requirements for a peer mentorship programme remained challenging to define for stakeholders. However, all expressed the need for supervision by healthcare professionals and that peer mentors should be carefully selected, educated and matched to newly diagnosed patients.ConclusionPeer mentoring and its implementation remain vague concepts, especially for healthcare providers. However, patients are interested in mentoring by peers, and the current results may support in effectively implementing such programmes early in the disease.
