Jumlah pasien kritis yang terpasang ventilator menempati dua per tiga dari seluruh pasien ICU di Indonesia. Kondisi kritis dengan terpasang ventilator akan menimbulkan masalah fisik, psikososial dan spiritual. Tenaga kesehatan terutama perawat perlu memberikan asuhan keperawatan terhadap pasien ICU yang terpasang ventilator secara menyeluruh. Penelitian kualitatif terhadap pasien yang terpasang ventilator sangat diperlukan sebagai upaya untuk menggali secara mendalam pengalaman hidup pasien selama terpasang ventilator dan menemukan new insight (pemahaman baru) tentang pengalaman mereka. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi. Data didapatkan dengan wawancara mendalam terhadap 6 partisipan yang terdiri dari 2 laki-laki dan 4 perempuan, usia antara 27–54 tahun, yang terpasang ventilator antara 4 sampai 27 hari dan mendapatkan sedasi yang minimal. Analisis data menggunakan metode Colaizzi. Ada 8 tema yang didapatkan dari pengalaman hidup pasien selama terpasang ventilator yaitu (1) hilangnya harapan dalam menjalani hidup, (2) merasa telah diambang kematian, (3) prosedur suction yang dilematis –antara nyaman dan tidaknyaman, (4) kehadiran orang terkasih sebagai spirit dalam melanjutkan hidup, (5) memandang penyakit sebagai rencana dari Tuhan, (6) memandang rendah citra diri, (7) pentingnya fasilitator dalam menjalani ritual keagamaan dan (8) keinginan untuk dirawat oleh tenaga kesehatan yang terampil. Individu yang hidup selama terpasang ventilator mengalami dilemma dengan prosedur suction, memiliki citra diri yang rendah, membutuhkan fasilitator dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan spiritual serta keinginan untuk dirawat oleh tenaga kesehatan yang terampil. Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut, pasien yang terpasang ventilator membutuhkan dukungan, pendampingan dan kemampuan yang terampil dari petugas kesehatan terutama dari perawat.Kata kunci: Pasien kritis, pengalaman hidup, ventilator. The Experience of Patients after using VentilatorAbstractThe number of critically ill patients with mechanical ventilation occupies almost two-thirds of all ICU patients in Indonesia. The critical condition with mechanical ventilation will be followed by many human responses such as physical, psychosocial and spiritual problems. Health care providers, especially nurses are demanded to provide holistic care to the patients with mechanical ventilation. Qualitative study can be used to explore the life experience of the patients with mechanical ventilation to gain new insights of their experience. This study is a qualitative study using phenomenological approach. The data was obtained by in-depth interviews to six participants consisting of two men and four women with age range from 27 to 54 years. The length of time with mechanical ventilation was between 4 to 27 days and they received a minimal sedation. The data was analyzed by Colaizzi method of analysis. There were eight themes found from this study: hopelessness in life, feel closer to dying, the suction procedure dilemma between comfortable and uncomfortable, the presence of loved ones as a spirit for continuing live, the assumption of disease as God planning, perceived low self-image, the importance of the facilitator in religious rituals as well as the desire to be treated by skilled health care personnel. Patients with mechanical ventilation who experienced suction procedure dilemma have low self-image. They need a facilitator for meeting their spiritual needs, and caring from skilled health care provider especially from nurses.Keywords: Life experience, mechanical ventilation, the critical Ill patient.

The current investigation seeks to examine the attitudes and beliefs of health care providers in Canada about people living with HIV. The line of research consists of three studies. Study 1 was a qualitative study conducted with a critical lens. The critical lens was used in a series of four focus groups when qualitatively soliciting opinions about the range of attitudes, behaviours and cognitions health care providers may have towards people living with HIV. Study 2 used the information gathered from Study 1 to develop a scale to assess HIV stigma in health care providers. Items were created from examples and themes found in the qualitative study, and were tested via exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, test-retest reliability analysis, and assessed for convergent and divergent validity. Study 3 examined the newly developed scale’s relationship to proposed overlapping stigmas and attitudes, and tested the adapted intersectional model of HIV-related stigma with health care trainees using the newly developed HIV stigma scale as an outcome measure. The line of research found that HIV stigma continues to be a significant problem in the health care system. The scale developed in Study 2 demonstrates that HIV stigma can be conceptualized and assessed as a tripartite model of discrimination, stereotyping and prejudice, and that this conceptualization of HIV stigma supports an intersectional model of overlapping stigmas with homophobia, racism, stigma against injection drug use and stigma against sex work.

Although postpartum depression is common and well-studied in mothers, many fathers also experience symptoms. This qualitative study investigated fathers’ experiences of postpartum depression. Data from secondary sources such as blogs, websites, forums, and chat rooms were analyzed using a combination of phenomenological and content analysis methods to understand father’s experiences of paternal postpartum depression. Six themes emerged from the data including fathers’ needing education, adhering to gender expectations, repressing feelings, being overwhelmed, resentment of baby, and the experience of neglect. These data provide useful information that can aid health care providers, researchers, clinicians, and families in understanding the experience of paternal postpartum depression and in better coping with the challenges these families face.

Therefore, due to the rapid spread of the disease in Iran, the aim of the present study was to explore psychological distress experienced by Iranian health-care providers in the first few weeks of the corona virus outbreak. Methods The present qualitative study was conducted on 18 Iranian health-care providers exposed to COVID − 19 using a content analysis method. Purposeful sampling was used to select the participants and continued until data saturation was reached. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and then the qualitative data were analyzed through direct content analysis. Results By analyzing 236 primary codes, two main categories were extracted from the experiences of health-care providers during corona virus outbreak. The first category included Occupational demands with three sub-categories: nature of illness, Organizational demands and social demands. The second category was Supportive resources included personal support and social support. Conclusions The results of this study found that there were some barriers and challenges to medical personnel exposed to COVID-19 that caused psychological distress.
