Seminarians inside the Seminary experienced many difficulties. One of them is the experience of loneliness. The present research examined the ways of enduring the loneliness inside the Seminary. The purpose of this study is to help improve the commitment in the priesthood. The researchers used a qualitative transcendental phenomenological approach in exploring the experiences of nine college seminarians. Phenomenological is an approach to qualitative research that describes the meaning of several individuals' lived experiences, which in this research talks about the seminarians' loneliness inside the Seminary. The forms of loneliness experienced by the seminarians are classified into three themes: 1) Seminary-Related Loneliness; 2) Living away from the family, and 3) Being alone. The seminarians deal with their experienced loneliness through Social Interaction, Prayer, and making the Self Busy. The results reveal that loneliness inside, although inevitable, can be prevented through prevention measures. Future researchers may conduct a further study on how to improve the seminarians' lives inside the Seminary to help the seminarians be more committed to the priesthood.

This paper attempts to illuminate some of the ethical dilemmas of a clinician/researcher interviewing women about a sensitive topic- their experience of having witnessed domestic violence in the family they grew up in, as part of a grounded theory study. Vignettes are presented to illustrate the self-reflexive process of the researcher and how she understood the effects of the interview process on her and the participants. The authors argue that doing in-depth qualitative research interviewing is an intervention in the life of the participants, especially, but not only, when the researchers are clinically-trained. However, this clinical training may also be an important resource from which to draw from, to act ethically and understand some of the complexity of the interaction between researcher and participants.

Spirituality as a human phenomenon presents itself as a significant aspect in the understanding and promotion of health, yet its study was neglected by psychological theories, with the exception of Jung's pioneering studies and the transpersonal approach. In this sense, we aim to present the vision of spirituality among psychologists from the city of Recife (in Brazil) who are guided by these theoretical lines, indicating how this phenomenon is experienced in their professional practices. We performed a phenomenological qualitative research that had as instrument the semi-structured interview with eight psychologists. The data were analyzed according to Bicudo's phenomenological approach and are in agreement with the scientific literature in this field, which indicates that there is no hegemonic definition of spirituality. There are visions of spiritualities, sometimes singular, sometimes common. Spirituality sometimes appears as synonymous with unconditional love, sometimes as access to the transcendent, without denying immanence. It also arises as internal energy and access to the Higher Self or just the Self. In the clinic it is considered as health promoter and approached from the demand in the Jungian perspective and seen as contextual in the transpersonal. We raised reflections on the importance of spirituality to the understanding of human being in its complexity.

This study focused on the background of the case, lived experiences of each family having a child with Down syndrome and how the families deal and cope with the problems and issues they have encountered in relation to the child’s condition. The study was conducted in the municipality of Polangui, province of Albay, Philippines. The study was guided by Hill’s ABCX model and Bowen Family system’s theory. These theories explain how the family as an emotional unit is affected and copes with a stressor. In dealing with a certain stressor, several factors (i.e. event or stressor, internal and external family resources and family’s perception of the stressor) affect their coping mechanism, which can either be positive or negative (family crisis). This study utilized the qualitative research design specifically the Phenomenological approach by Creswell. The subjective statements were transcribed, coded and organized to facilitate analysis and drawing of conclusion. Also, documents sought and written field notes were used to triangulate the data to assure of its validity and reliability. From the analysis of data, three themes emerged. Each theme was composed of categories. The themes formulated are: (1) Primary care providers’ insights which focused separately on the child, child’s condition, experience as a whole and beliefs possessed by the key informants; (2) The family dealing with child’s condition which describes the families’ experiences with the phenomena. This include exploration on the initial reactions felt by the key informants, psycho-behavioral experiences, family mechanism and interactions, health and illness management, caring experiences, character and capability formation, social experiences, spiritual experiences, challenges and issues encountered and coping mechanisms; and lastly (3) the child as a family member composed of the following sub themes: child’s worth, looking through the child’s future and effects to family. Looking holistically through the families’ experiences of having a child with special needs, a model of care called as “Family Empowerment Model” was designed and formulated which aims to enhance the family and the child’s capability to cope with the condition.

It is fortunate or unfortunate that PhDs are working as school teachers at different levels. It may be predicted that many PhD degree holders will be ready to join the School Education Department in near future while many graduates are completing their PhDs. The present study purports to explore expectations of PhDs working as school teachers and investigating the challenges they face while teaching in various schools of Punjab, Pakistan. Participants’ lived experiences of working in school were examined through the phenomenological approach of qualitative research. For this purpose, eleven PhDs were approached through a snowball sampling to gather data employing interviews on the phenomenon. The results emerged in the form of themes and sub-themes that include relationships with the school comminates, PhD teachers’ expectations (sub-themes: expectations from students and colleagues, expectations from education authorities, and expectations for professional development), and challenging school environment. The study implies the recognition of PhDs working as school teachers, their professional satisfaction and service structure and their appropriate placement in the education system.

If “personalization” involves rendering something personally relevant, then how should “personhood” be understood, constituted, and theorized? To explore this question, this chapter scrutinizes not just “algorithmic” identity, but also broader concepts of what is meant by personhood and the self. The chapter looks to understand how users have come to be understood both inside and outside of algorithmic constitution. It argues that it is only through understanding social subjects as performatively constituted by both algorithmic and sociocultural protocols that it is possible to untangle the nuances that algorithmic personalization produces in social interaction. The chapter also considers in more detail how researchers constitute and negotiate the lived experiences of the participant accounts that they draw on.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders, and little attention has been paid to the parents and their experiences. The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the Norwegian parents’ lived experiences of having a child with an ADHD diagnosis. A descriptive design using phenomenological approach was chosen as the research method. Individual qualitative interviews with nine parents, who were members of the ADHD Association, were conducted. The interviews were analyzed according to Colaizzi’s method. The essential structure of the parents’ experiences was Contending and Adapting Every Day—Windsurfing in unpredictable waters which was embedded in the interrelated main themes: Maintaining the Self and Parenthood, and Interacting With the Surrounding World. Being the parent of a child with ADHD is a demanding situation. Nurses need to address the needs of these parents and focus on the family unit.
