This study determined the issues and challenges encountered by the parents who facilitated learning at home. This research was a Qualitative-Phenomenological study that utilized the Narrative Form using the responses of the parent-participants in the Key Informant Interview conducted by the researcher. Creswell Method applied in qualitative analysis of these reactions to explore the lived experience of parents who served as Learning Facilitators in Modular Distance Learning. From the responses of the participants in the Key Informant Interview conducted, the researcher was able to extract the following themes that describe their overall ability in painting the portrait of their children: FB: Keeping You Informed, Education Must Continue, Education Cannot Wait, MDL Finds a Way, Painting a Portrait as Consecrated Responsibility, Race Against Time, and Time Works Wonders.           The researcher was able to draw out issues with implications of the findings on the lived experiences of the parents in painting the portrait of their children as not just a simple task. Their ability to paint the picture and helping their children with their studies were perceived as challenging but added colors in making their future even more meaningful.   Keywords: Paint a Portrait, Modular Distance Learning, Learning Facilitator

Background and objectives: Conscience is a cornerstone of ethics, affecting both our private and professional lives. Everyday health care practice raises questions about conscience and how to understand its role. Conscience has also been described as inducing self-growth and protecting personal integrity. Nurses views on their reactions to behaviors consistent or contrary to conscience could therefore help us to understand the meaning of the reactions of conscience. This study aimed to illuminate meanings of nurses lived experience of conscience reaction in their daily practices.Material and methods: Interviews with nine nurses were interpreted using a phenomenological hermeneutic (Colaizzi, 1978) method. Data was collected in 2010 among nurses working in various hospitals in Kermanshah. The nurses were selected for participation purposively.Results: The nurses lived experience of conscience reaction was formulated in three themes and ten sub-themes. The first theme is ‘being peace, which includes three sub-themes: Being calm, being pleased, and being satisfying. The second theme is ‘trouble conscience’ which includes four subthemes: guilt, thinking engagement, discomfort, and fretfulness. The third theme is responding which includes three sub-themes: expressing, compensation, and lack of repeat.Conclusions: The nurses lived experience of conscience reaction showed that nurses considered conscience reaction to be an important factor in the exercise of their profession, as revealed by the descriptive categories: being peace when they act consistent with conscience; trouble conscience when they act contrary on conscience; and responding after doing an anti conscience practice. They perceived that conscience played a role in nursing actions involving patients and next of kin, and guided them in their efforts to provide high quality care.  DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bioethics.v2i3.10257Bangladesh Journal of Bioethics 2011;2(3):3-9

Youth aging out of foster care are at particular risk for negative outcomes including school dropout, homelessness, poverty, unemployment, substance abuse, health and mental health problems, and victimization. Yet we know little about how, when, and why these youth find themselves on a downward trajectory. This qualitative, phenomenological study—conducted in partnership with four public child welfare agencies—examined the lived experience of 19 youth during their first year after exiting foster care. The authors used monthly, contemporaneous interviews to explore domains including housing, employment, education, and relationships with trusted adults. Although outcomes in employment were poorest, participants’ experience in all domains was characterized by frequent changes and instability. Adverse events began immediately and many youth were unsure how to navigate the system to get help. Yet youth who were successful in one domain were more likely to be successful in others. Risk factors included having four or more foster care placements, being on probation, accumulating fines, and losing government assistance. Protective factors included living with an adult who shares the rent and maintains a positive, consistent presence; being a full-time student; receiving educational and housing subsidies; having reliable means of transportation and communication; and maintaining the same job throughout the transitional year. Despite facing significant obstacles, the youth demonstrated resilience and optimism as they contemplated their futures. Recommendations include providing specialized services that target youth as they exit the system, and emphasizing stability rather than self-sufficiency.

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.

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.

Background Delusions in schizophrenia are commonly approached as empirical false beliefs about everyday reality. Phenomenological accounts, by contrast, have suggested that delusions are more adequately understood as pertaining to a different kind of reality-experience. To date, however, the specific nature of delusional reality-experience has not been subject to systematic empirical study. It is also unclear howthis alteration of reality-experience should be characterized, which dimensions of experiential life are involved and whether delusional reality may differ from standard reality in various ways. Furthermore, little is known about how delusional patients value and relate to these experiential alterations. This study aimed to investigate the natureof delusional reality-experience, and its subjective apprehension, in individuals with lived experience of delusions and a schizophrenia-spectrum diagnosis.Methods In this study, individuals with lived experience of delusions and a schizophrenia-spectrum diagnosis formed a purposeful sample. Phenomenologically driven semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore the nature of delusional reality-experience and participants’ subjective valuation of these experiences. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), a qualitative method tailored to the in-depth exploration of participants’ first-person perspective, was used to analyse participants’ accounts.Findings Between Mar 2, 2020 and Sep 30, 2020, 18 adults with a clinical schizophrenia-spectrum diagnosis and lived experience of delusions participated in the interview-study. The findings suggest that delusions are often embedded in wide-ranging alterations of basic reality-experience, involving quasi-ineffable atmospheric and ontological qualities that undermine participants’ sense of the world as unambiguously real, fully present, and shared with others. We also found thatdelusional reality-experience can differ from standard reality in various way (i.e., in a hypo –and hyper-real form), across multiple dimensions (e.g., meaningfulness, necessity/contingency, detachment/engagement), and that participants are often implicitly or explicitly aware of the distinction between delusional and standard reality. Finally, delusional experience can have an enduring value and meaning that is not fully captured by a strictly medical perspective.Interpretation Increased awareness and recognition of the distinctive nature of delusional reality-experience, in both clinical and research settings, can improve diagnostic accuracy, explanatory models, and therapeutic support for delusional individuals whose lived realities are not always evident from an everyday perspective.

We conducted this qualitative, phenomenological study to further understanding of how second-generation Mexican American adolescent mothers perceive their young motherhood experience, drawing on the context of their Mexican heritage background. Through in-person interviews with 18 young mothers, we discerned shared essential meanings reconstructed around two major domains: (a) grounded ethnicity, a firm desire to remain true to and share their heritage culture, and (b) authentic mothering, strong relationality to their infants. We found that young mothers embraced their Mexican heritage mothering approaches, such as fostering familismo, valuing family above other obligations. The adolescents in this study sensed their young motherhood as an opportunity to protect and improve qualities of traditional familial cultural heritage, while absorbing elements of American culture to enhance the future for themselves and their infants. We discuss how providers can help reduce stigmatization and promote self-efficacy by respecting and partnering with young mothers to provide culturally congruent services.

Abstract Aim- The study aimed at exploring the lived experience of internationally recruited nurses in Oman that seeks to know how culture affects their adjustment process. The study also explored the acculturation that nurses undertake to adapt to a new culture from a personal and nursing perspective and the study also identified the support mechanisms that are in place to assist in the transition.Methods- The study is a qualitative phenomenological study defined as an approach to understanding people’s everyday life experience utilizing Collaizi’s 9 Phenomenological Steps. The samples were taken from four (4) major governorates in Oman namely Dhofar, Dhak​liya​, ​ ​North Batinah & Muscat. Out of 45 Nurses, 18 met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to undergo the structured phone interviews and conferences. Data Analysis was performed using the analytical software NVivo ver 12.Results-18 nurses consented to participate in the interview, most Internationally recruited nurses holding a bachelor's degree with an average age of 33.5 years. Most participants reported challenges in their transition to Oman upon being deployed. The primary area of concern arose from not having a structured ethical recruitment system and orientation programs. Conclusion- There is a need for a more systematic and ethical recruitment strategy that enhances IRN’s full integration into the host country’s social, religious, and cultural system. It was also found that language is an integral part of the IRN’s assimilation therefore the need for a formal and structured training and orientation program must be in place in both recruiting agencies and the catchment facilities in Oman

The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study is to describe the glass ceiling is perceived by women in the role of mid-to-senior level academics and administrators in higher education in a Chinese university. This study also sought to understand the characteristics of women in mid-to-senior level positions, as well as the tools and resources necessary for women to obtain such a position in higher education. Drawing on in-depth interviews with eight women in mid-to-senior level academic and administrative positions in one university and informed by constructivist views, the essence of their lived experience helped to inform a broader discourse of women and the glass ceiling. The ?ndings highlight how women’s career progression is shaped by cultural norms and conventions.
