Female Cancer Survivors

Psychological interventions are proposed to cancer survivors to support their quality of life against the emotional trauma of cancer and the side effects of treatment. Psychological interventions often require patient engagement and commitment to activities that could be more or less demanding in terms of lifestyle change (e.g., psychotherapy, sports). Analyzing participant motivations (personal aims, expectations, needs) prior to participation is useful to predict their adherence to the intervention as well as final outcomes. Yet, participant motivations may evolve during the intervention because the intervention experience turns out to be meaningful and positively challenging. The present study aimed to obtain a preliminary understanding of the process of motivation change in female cancer survivors who participated in a sport-based intervention to promote quality of life by employing a grounded theory approach. Data analysis took place alongside data collection and according to the procedure of grounded theory (“open coding”, “axial coding”, and “selective coding”) in order to describe the process of motivation change during women’s participation in psychological intervention for quality of life. On 14 women interviewed, 13 reported changing their motivation to participate during the first months of involvement, mostly changing from individualistic to group-related motivations (i.e., from self-care to friendship with other participants and enriching group membership), and from physical to psychological growth (i.e., pursuing not only physical health but also self-fulfillment). The discussion explains the preliminary aspects of the motivation change process and highlights the importance to monitor motivation dynamics within psychological interventions.

Background: Cancer-related fatigue and loss of physical functioning are distressing symptoms which negatively impact the quality of life of people with advanced cancer. Physical activity has been shown to have positive effects on these symptoms in early-stage cancer, but previous research demonstrated an incongruence between people with advanced cancer’s expressed interest and actual participation in a physical activity intervention. Aim: To gain an in-depth understanding of the experience of activity and quality of life in people with advanced cancer, using a classic grounded theory approach. Design: Through the post-positivist lens of subtle realism, and informed by classic grounded theory methods, a two-phase, cross-sectional, qualitative study was conducted. For 7 days duration, participants wore an activPAL™ activity monitor and completed a daily record sheet, which were then used as qualitative probes for face-to-face, semi-structured interviews. Setting/participants: A total of 15 people with advanced cancer, aged 18 years or older, and with a median survival of 100 days from time of study consent, were recruited from an outpatient department of a tertiary cancer centre in Alberta, Canada. Findings: Maintaining their responsibilities, no matter how small, was the prime motive for participants’ behaviour. For people with advanced cancer, the minimum level of responsibility was dynamic and unique. It was achieved through a multifaceted interaction between the perceived benefits, prevailing conditions and mechanisms. Conclusion: This grounded theory enables understanding of activity as a mechanism through which responsibility is managed and may inform future behavioural interventions in people with advanced cancer.

AbstrakGrounded theory merupakan metode riset kualitatif yang menggunakan suatu set prosedur yang sistematik untuk mengembangkan suatu teori secara induktif tentang suatu fenomena. Metode ini dimulai dari suatu pernyataan yang masih kabur dan akhirnya menghasilkan teori yang dikumpulkan dari berbagai data. Grounded theory membuat kenyataan bahwa kesenjangan antara teori dan praktik dapat diatasi, sehingga dapat diaplikasikan dalam praktik dan meningkatkan pelayanan. Analisis data dilakukan melalui empat tahap. Pendekatan grounded theory sangat membantu perawat untuk memahami perilaku sosial agar perawat lebih mengerti dan memahami pasiennya. AbstractGrounded theory is a qualitative research method utilizing a set of systematic procedure to develop an inductive theory on a particular phenomenon. It is initiated by answering a vague question and eventually generating theory from the data collected. The data analysis is carried out in 4 stages in the grounded theory approach. Grounded theory may bridge the gap between theory and practice. It can be applied into practice to enhance the quality of nursing service. This approach helps nurses to understand the social behaviour of the patients.

The number of the elderly who face difficulties in their buying behavior of their daily life is increasing, in Japan. A service for the elderly such as services for supporting buying behavior of the elderly is needed. The purpose of this study is to identify knowledge co-creation in the service for the elderly and how co-created knowledge enables the elderly to enhance their quality of life as a well-being oriented value. The authors conducted qualitative research through a participant observation of support services regarding the buying behavior of the elderly and analyzed the data by a grounded theory approach. As a result, this study identified that there are three types of knowledge co-creation in support services: regional state, how a commodity is consumed, and consumer characteristics. This study also identified that there are three well-being oriented values co-created in support services: enhancement of the quality of life of the elderly, employee satisfaction, and accumulation of well-being provision skills.

Purpose: To explore the nurses’ positive deviance behaviors as an effort to provide solutions in preventing and controlling infections in the hospital. Method: This is a qualitative research using grounded theory approach. Thirteen nurses from Dr.M.Djamil hospital were selected based on theoretical sampling in order to develop theory as it appears. Nurses were interviewed from June to September 2014. Interviews were thematically analyzed using techniques of grounded theory to then generate a theory from themes formed. Findings: The modes of positive deviance behavior identified were practicing hand hygiene beyond the standards (bringing handsanitizer from home), applying nursing art in wound care practice, placing patients with MRSA infections at the corner side, giving a red mark on a MRSA patient’s bed for easy identification by nurses, changing clothes and shoes in hospital, reducing hooks on the wall, and cleaning the ward on scheduled days. Conclusion: The study shows that nurses have a number of positive deviance behaviors to prevent infection transmission in the wards. It is sugested that the hospital management and nursing managers adopt some of the uncommon solution highlighted by the nurses to solve the HAIs problems in the hospital.
