Qualitative Phase

This study addresses the disconnect between how a documentary consumer goes into a film thinking they are skeptical of the information; when they tend to have a crewed understanding of filmmaking and media literacy. An explanatory, experimental qualitative design was used. This involved collecting qualitative data through the use of focus groups and then expanding upon those data with in-depth interviews. In the first qualitative phase of the study, data was collected from volunteer participants from three different cities in Missouri. Three focus groups where conducted to recognize the volunteers' understanding of the distinctions between fact and fiction in documentary and to assess whether that relates to further word-of-mouth misinformation. The second qualitative phase was conducted as follow up to the focus groups. In this study, the researcher looked at how members of the first data study consume documentaries. She did this through one-on-one in-depth semi-structured interviews with two participants from each of the focus groups. The researcher then conducted a textual analysis of the transcribed material that came from the qualitative data collected in both the focus groups and the interviews. Ultimately addressing the question: how do audience members understand the difference between fact and fiction in documentary?

In this chapter, the juxtaposition and interconnection of deductive and inductive research methods are explored. Qualitative, inductive empirical tools are discussed in depth, specifically in-depth interviews, focus groups, and field observation. Students will learn how these methods are used to generate hypotheses, which can ultimately be tested using deductive research methods. The structure of inductive research questions, and how they differ from deductive research questions, is further addressed, as is how a researcher “makes sense” of qualitative data.

Background: Latino grandparents are often involved in the care and rearing of grandchildren and may help parents in promoting children’s leisure time physical activity (LTPA). However, potential disagreements between grandparents and parents may undermine their collaboration and subsequently their support for children’s LTPA. Aim: The purpose of this study was to explore Latino grandparents’ perception of disagreements with parents in children’s (age 2–12) LTPA. Methods: Qualitative data were collected from 53 Latino grandparents in Los Angeles County, USA, using four semi-structured focus groups and 26 semi-structured interviews. Transcribed data were systematically and iteratively coded and analysed. Results: Many Latino grandparents disagreed with parents’ sedentary lifestyle, permissive parenting and lack of support for children’s LTPA. In addition, Latino grandparents described disagreement with parents in specific issues such as children’s LTPA options and safety during LTPA. Conclusion: There were disagreements between Latino grandparents and parents concerning children’s LTPA. Health researchers and practitioners should be aware of those disagreements and consider using education/intervention programmes to reduce the tension between Latino grandparents and parents and increase their collaborative support for children’s LTPA.

Objective. The aim was to investigate adherence to asthma medication treatment, medication beliefs, and asthma control in relation to asthma follow-up consultations in asthmatics in the general population. A further aim was to describe associations between adherence, medication beliefs, and asthma control.Method. In the population-based West Sweden Asthma Study, data allowing calculation of adherence for 4.5 years based on pharmacy records were obtained from 165 adult asthmatics. Additional data were collected through questionnaires and structured interviews.Results. The mean adherence value for filled prescriptions for regular asthma medication was 68% (median 55.3%) but varied over the year under study. Adherence to combination inhalers with corticosteroids and long-acting beta2agonists was higher than adherence to single inhalers with corticosteroids only. More than one-third of participants reported not having seen an asthma nurse or physician for several years. Regular asthma follow-up consultations were associated with both higher adherence and the belief that asthma medication was necessary but were not associated with asthma control.Conclusions. Adherence to asthma medication treatment was low and varied over the year under study. The current study suggests that quality improvements in asthma care are needed if adherence to asthma medication is to be improved.

Abstract BACKGROUND Childhood brain tumour survivors and their family caregivers can experience many late effects of treatment including social, cognitive and physical issues. Yet, the supportive care needs of survivors, now teenagers and young adults (TYAs), and their caregivers population are largely unknown. We aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of this populations’ supportive care needs. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study used a convergent mixed methods design including quantitative (survey) and qualitative data (in-depth semi-structured interviews). Participants were recruited from long-term follow-up clinics (in three NHS Trusts in England) and online. Participants included childhood brain tumour survivors, at least five years from diagnosis, currently aged 13–30 and their primary caregivers. The results from quantitative and qualitative data were integrated using a Joint Display Table. RESULTS 136 eligible survivors and caregivers (78 survivors/58 caregivers) were approached to take part in the survey. In total, 112 participants (69 survivors/43 caregivers) completed the survey. A further 22 participants took part in face-to-face semi-structured interviews (11 survivors/11 caregivers). The integrated findings indicate that both survivors and caregivers have unmet needs many years after diagnosis. TYA survivors specifically had high unmet needs in relation to their psychological health, social lives (including romantic relationships), employment, and independence. Caregivers experienced even more unmet needs - including regarding their own psychological well-being and survivors’ financial issues. Survivors further from diagnosis, unemployed survivors and single caregivers were more likely to report unmet needs. Barriers preventing survivors and caregivers accessing supportive services were highlighted, including (but not exclusive to) families not being aware of support available, location of services, and accessibility to information/support. CONCLUSION This research provides leads to improving supportive care and long-term follow-up services. Understanding unmet needs and recognising what services are required is critical to improving survivor and caregiver quality of long-term survival.

This study addresses the development of adaptation techniques in one northern Canadian region based on the views of 14 National and International elite coaches. Respondents were from nine different sports and averaged 17.1 yrs of accumulated coaching experience (Range: 8-30 yrs). Data were gathered chronologically using structured open-ended questionnaires, focus groups, and afterwards, follow-up in-depth semi-structured interviews. Content was analyzed to uncover emergent themes. The respondents indicated that elite coaches from their region learn adaptation by (a) cooperating, (b) reframing positively, and (c) coping with their limitations. Further, the respondents elucidated how they use geographical limitations to teach two context specific adaptation skills to aspiring athletes and coaches: (a) psychological adaptation and (b) physical adaptation. Generic coaching strategies across geographical regions are questioned and suggestions regarding elite coaching in small communities are provided.

National organizations call for providing trauma-informed care (TIC) to those who have experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and to the population as a whole. All providers and staff are at risk for experiencing stress and burnout when they care for patients with multiple complex needs and insufficient resources. All are at risk but not all develop burnout. This study shares findings from a pilot project to implement training on ACEs and toxic stress in a busy urban pediatric primary care practice. Using a mixed-methods approach, we assessed pre and post self-reported knowledge and attitudes via surveys ( n = 52), baseline in-depth interviews ( n = 16), focus groups (three groups, n = 36), and follow-up interviews ( n = 13). After training, staff reported a marginally significant increase in rating the office as doing a good job meeting the needs of families around childhood trauma (72% vs. 46%, p = 0.057). Key themes from baseline in-depth interviews and focus groups identified the following: (1) pervasiveness of trauma and adversity among families in the practice, (2) empathy for families with significant social needs, (3) feelings of frustration to alleviate stressors identified during visits, (4) need for social support and coping mechanisms to alleviate workplace stress, and (5) receptiveness to enhance knowledge and understanding. Key themes from follow-up interviews and focus groups highlighted the impact of compassion fatigue and strategies to promote self-care. We discuss these findings and challenges in relation to providing TIC and professional development.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore undergraduate students’ use of mobile apps to search library catalogs and analyze the problems students encountered. Student opinions and suggestions regarding mobile library apps were also examined. Design/methodology/approach A total of 16 undergraduates were observed and subjected to semi-structured interviews. Four tasks were assigned, and the participants used mobile apps and laptops to search library catalogs. Follow-up in-depth interviews were conducted to gather participants’ opinions regarding the mobile library app. Findings Among the 64 total searches conducted by the 16 participants, 45 (70.31 percent) were completed when using the mobile app, and 51 (79.69 percent) were completed using the laptop. Participants spent less time completing the tasks when they used the mobile app. Mobile apps are thus an effective tool for searching library catalogs. However, the interviews revealed that none of the participants had used mobile library apps prior to the interviews conducted in this study, and half of the participants expressed that they would not install library apps on their smartphones in the future. Originality/value The study findings may help university libraries improve their understanding about undergraduates’ search behavior and opinions about mobile library apps.

The study assesses how social learning was triggered and reinforced through video-mediated extension as used by Sasakawa Global 2000 (SG 2000) from 2007 to 2010 among rice farmers in Kamwenge district, Uganda. A longitudinal study involving six focus group discussions and 100 semi-structured interviews were conducted in August 2015 to February 2016, and later 21 key informant interviews in June 2018 to generate data from farmers. While thematic-content analysis was used for the qualitative data, SPSS v.18 was used for quantitative data analysis. Results indicate that video-complementary extension methods were non-discriminative as evidenced by the diversity of farmers who participated in the demonstration sites, field days and exchange visits in terms of age mix and level of education attained. Furthermore, use of videos in extension is more effective when combined with other complementary follow-up extension methods; thus, deepening social learning among farmers. For effective scaling-up of the impact of video-mediated extension messages, use of complementary extension methods such as demonstration plots, exchange visit and field days offer greater opportunities for developing more localized videos for farmer learning. However, this requires pragmatic retooling of extension workers to effectively document local videos on the interactive learning that occurs in these complementary extension methods. Int. J. Agril.

Few studies in Colombia have incorporated media literacy in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) environments. This paper presents the results of a research conducted in an upper-intermediate course in the Language Institute of the District University (ILUD) in Bogotá. A media literacy model was adapted to create weekly radio workshops in an eight-week pedagogical intervention. During the research study, data were collected from the participants' weekly interactions, discussions, reflections, as well as from semi-structured interviews and field notes taken from my observations as a participant-observer. It was found that EFL learners from a mixed-ability group were engaged in media literacy practices, mainly when they reflected upon news through their realities, beliefs, and attitudes. The results of this study demonstrated that students developed oral interaction skills and acquired diverse strategies that helped them discuss messages from different media outlets, express their personal opinions, and gather additional information to support their findings.
