Objective: To reveal the perception of grief support of professionals in pediatric oncology units, after the death of the patients. Method: Qualitative phenomenological study. 22 in-depth interviews were conducted with professionals from 5 pediatric oncology units of public hospitals in Santiago. Once the narratives were transcribed, the comprehensive analysis and subsequent triangulation of the data was performed, achieving saturation. Results: Professionals perceive themselves supported in their grief by being able to experience the losses in a protected environment and feeling supported by their surroundings. They recognized the existence of external and internal factors that facilitated the process of grief. However, this support is perceived as insufficient, as there is a lack of formal support from the institution, as well as a protected grief period, or support from mental health professionals to the teams. All death experiences allow professionals to transcend their pain based on lifelong learning and to give meaning to their work. Conclusion: Grief support felt by the professionals is generated from their own initiatives of re-encounter within the teams, which is insufficient. Therefore, training in coping with death is necessary from undergraduate level, which would allow greater cohesiveness in coping and greater self-care within the teams.

Introduction: Watson established the humanized care as a research phenomenon. It remains an ethical responsibility of nurses in the context of a transpersonal relationship that enhance the harmony and individuals integrity. Humanized care now faces a dilemma for a coexistence of diverse institutional, biomedical, administrative-economist and humanist axiological models. Objective: To know the perception of care, according to lived experience of three retired nurses, through authentic stories. Methodology: A qualitative, phenomenological study describes the experiences through authentic stories of three retired nurses obtained by in-depth interviews. Homogeneous sample selection criteria: nurses belonging to 3 generations removed extensive experience in closed care, participation in training students. Results: four categories were found concatenated with each other, which reconfigure the essence of care, emphasizing the integral character of the people and harmonizing the relational dimension with the technical-scientific dimension. Nurse as a caregiver; person as being of care; essence of care and vocational training. Conclusion: Knowing the perception of retired nurses, regarding care is a contribution for reflection. It is necessary to aim for humanized care, as an ethical duty of nurses. The intervention of various institutional axiological models weakens the possibility of guiding care towards humanization. There is a risk of fragmenting people, leaving aside individualized, warmth care, generated through a transpersonal relationship.

AbstractThe delivery of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in Bali has been fraught with difficulties, which have been exacerbated by the pandemic. This paper discusses 1) the realities of Islamic religious education in Bali, 2) the implementation of a special condition curriculum as a means of humanizing PAI education, and 3) the humanization of Islamic religious education in Bali during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research employed a qualitative phenomenological study, with data gathered through in-depth interviews with school principals, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and Muslim students' parents. The data is handled in stages that include data reduction, visualization, and verification. The findings indicate that: 1) The ratio of Islamic Religious Education teachers to pupils is imbalanced; some schools even lack Islamic Religious Education teachers, and numerous parents express dissatisfaction with online learning in PAI sessions. 2 ) Curriculum implementation for special/emergency situations; some schools have implemented it as a means of increasing learning effectiveness and efficiency, while others continue to use the national curriculum, despite teacher recognition that it is unproductive. 3) The special education curriculum is considered one of the first steps toward humanizing Religious Education Islam, which, in the face of poor online learning, must also be accompanied by teachers who are accessible to parents and students. AbstrakPenyelenggaraan Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) di Bali penuh dengan kesulitan yang diperparah dengan adanya pandemi. tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki penggunaan kurikulum pengaturan khusus/darurat sebagai metode memanusiakan pendidikan. Tulisan ini membahas 1) realitas pendidikan agama Islam di Bali, 2) penerapan kurikulum kondisi khusus sebagai sarana memanusiakan pendidikan PAI, dan 3) humanisasi pendidikan agama Islam di Bali pada masa pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi kualitatif fenomenologis, dengan data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan kepala sekolah, guru Pendidikan Agama Islam, dan orang tua siswa Muslim. Penanganan data dilakukan secara bertahap yang meliputi reduksi data, visualisasi, dan verifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1) Rasio guru PAI terhadap siswa tidak seimbang; beberapa sekolah bahkan kekurangan guru PAI, dan banyak orang tua menyatakan ketidakpuasan dengan pembelajaran online di sesi PAI. 2) Implementasi kurikulum untuk situasi khusus/darurat; beberapa sekolah telah menerapkannya sebagai sarana untuk meningkatkan efektivitas dan efisiensi pembelajaran, sementara yang lain tetap menggunakan kurikulum nasional, meskipun diakui oleh guru bahwa kurikulum tersebut tidak produktif. 3) Kurikulum pendidikan luar biasa dianggap sebagai salah satu langkah awal untuk memanusiakan Pendidikan Agama Islam, yang dalam menghadapi pembelajaran online yang buruk, juga harus didampingi oleh guru yang dapat diakses oleh orang tua dan siswa.How to Cite: Ramdhani, F.

Family conflict is the most significant factor that causes adolescents to run away from home. This study explored the experiences of family conflict from the perspective of Korean runaway youth. We conducted a qualitative phenomenological study using in-depth interviews with nine female runaway youth. Audio-recorded interview data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using the Colaizzi method. We found that the participants had experienced complex family conflicts since early childhood, such as parental conflict and mental health issues, abuse, neglect, lack of parental understanding, and poverty. Participants had negative emotions and coping problems regarding family conflict(s), before leaving home. After running away, they experienced ambivalent feelings, and felt both hatred and compassion towards their parents. Their experiences influenced their thoughts regarding future family relationships. Understanding the viewpoint of runaway youth in terms of family conflict can assist in the development of interventions designed for such youth.

Methodology: In qualitative phenomenological study conducted at University of Health Sciences, Lahore from Dec 2016 to May 2017, semi structured in-depth interviews were conducted individually from 10 General Practitioners which were audiorecorded and transcribed. Code labels were assigned manually and grouped together into broader themes. Interpretation ofthemes was done after thematic analysis. Results: Two participants were female and ten were male with experience ranging between 20-38 years. Three main themes with sub-themes were identified: (1) positive talk (Affirming the link between Continuing Medical Education and improved patient care), (2) negative talk (perceived hindrances in gaining full benefit from Continuing Medical Education activities), (3) concerns regarding current Continuing Medical Education activities. Conclusion: Participants were found inclined towards Continuing Medical Education activities and felt more confident and comfortable in managing their patients. However, they felt that physicians working in rural areas were dealing directly with all sorts of patients and were more in need of targeted and tailored Continuing Medical Education activities.

This qualitative phenomenological study examined the occupational downgrading experiences of six adult immigrants. Occupational downgrading happens when an individual’s occupation post immigration does not match his or her education credentials and previous professional experiences. The goal is to make sense of the participants’ narratives through the lens of possible selves theory. Therefore, the research questions guiding this study were (1) How do occupational downgrading experiences of immigrants shape their integration to the U.S. workforce? and (2) How can we make sense of the participants’ narratives through the lens of possible selves theory? Phenomenological interviews served as the main source for data collection. In addition, artifacts allowed the participants to enrich their stories. Themes that emerged from the participants’ occupational downgrading experiences include underemployment, shift in status, language barrier, feeling of discrimination, and lack of inspiration at the new job. Looking at past, present, and future selves, the participants’ narratives were examined first through identity transition processes: separation, transition, and reincorporation. The study adds to a developing body of literature focusing on the possible selves of adult immigrants experiencing occupational downgrading. In particular, they inform who is participating in adult education. Likewise, this study centralizes the immigrant as participant to adult learning; it provides new narratives of adults in transition.

Studies dealing with the experiences of non-offending mothers from the general population and minority groups after their child’s disclosure of sexual abuse are scarce, and studies on mothers from the Jewish ultra-Orthodox community are non-existent. This study takes an initial step in filling this gap by exploring how the normalization of sexual abuse shapes these mothers’ experiences. A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted on a sample of 21 mothers from the ultra-Orthodox sector whose children had been sexually abused. It consisted of in-depth, semi-structured interviews of the mothers followed by a drawing task on their experience. The analysis of the interviews yielded four central themes: the role of social stigmatization and religion on the mother’s ability to share her child’s abuse; the effect of the disclosure on the mothers’ mental state and maternal competency; the mothers’ ongoing experience in the shadow of this unprocessed/unresolved trauma; and the mothers’ coping strategies, including acceptance, faith, and meaning making. The findings highlight the influence of the tension between the need to adhere to religious norms and preserve the social fabric and the need to enhance mothers’ and children’s well-being.

Abstract Date Presented 04/13/21 Results of a qualitative phenomenological study of the influence of spirituality on the lived experience of Christians during the rehabilitation process are shared. Findings show the pervasive impact of spirituality on occupational participation, performance, and engagement and align with the concepts of Humbert’s conceptual model of spirituality. This study of spirituality as expressed from a specific worldview perspective advances the provision of holistic, culturally relevant OT services.
