Experiences Of Women ◽

This research study extracts the women experiences about empowerment which are comprehended through the use of microcredit. During the Literature exploration, it was obvious that there is an optimistic verdict between women empowerment and microcredit; also it alleviates the poverty of women that is a feminization of poverty. This study has assessed the lived experiences of women that how they precipitate their feelings for grasping empowerment with microcredit. This is an abductive research strategy along with the philosophy of hermeneutic phenomenology within a feminist paradigm, and generally, research design reveals the truth of numerous subjective perspectives and would help in creating the meaning of empowerment from the upper Sindh’s context. This study is conducted in upper Sindh; women who availed microcredit from microfinance banks and institutions are respondents. For data collection, in-depth interviews by using interview protocol have been conducted till the saturation point. The interpretative phenomenological analysis is used to extract the themes and constructing meanings. Women associate financial ability for having three meals a day and decision taking capability as their empowerment, they think the transformation of families’ lives in a better way is their empowerment. From subjective views of upper Sindh women, it was seen that microcredit transforms their lives if used in some economic activity. This study would be valuable for the policy designers of microfinance that they can plan strategies and policies accordingly.

The Impact ◽

This study explored the experience of young adults having a parent with young-onset dementia. In-depth interviews were undertaken with five participants aged between 23 and 36 years of age and these were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Participants were found to experience a number of stresses in relation to their parent’s illness, many of which were linked to loss and guilt. Five main themes were identified related to relationship changes, shifts in roles and responsibilities, support for the non-affected parent, support for self and the impact of living with their own potential risk of dementia. These findings are discussed in relation to the existing literature and suggest that individuals with a parent with young-onset dementia have needs which service providers should consider in the wider context of young-onset dementia care.

Unique Experience ◽

This study examines the unique experience of participants who during their reintegration back into the community, following a conviction for sexual offending, re-engaged with religious and spiritual communities. To explore meaning Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was adopted. Four in-depth interviews of men convicted for sexual crimes were undertaken and analysed. Findings indicate that through religious affiliation participants were: exposed to new prosocial networks; provided opportunities to seek forgiveness; felt a sense of belonging and affiliation; and were psychologically comforted. However, the study also found that the process of identity transition from ‘offender’ to ‘non-offender’ was not seamless or straightforward for those with an innate sexual deviancy towards children, caution is therefore advised.

Distress and depression often go unrecognised in people with diabetes. In this article, I present an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) of the lived experience of people with Type 2 diabetes, based on individual in-depth interviews with 10 patients. The purpose of this research was to gain a deeper understanding of these psychological symptoms through a detailed examination of how patients interpret and respond to their experience of the condition. I propose a revised model for the connection between the disease of diabetes and patients’ lived experiences of illness, as one of embodied coexistence rather than relation. Through my analysis, I identify the psychological processes that might need to be addressed in an effective preventative support system.

Ship accidents create emergencies and affect victims, both physically and psychologically. Human error and extreme weather are still the main causes of ship accidents. The crew of the ship, especially the skipper, has an important role and responsibility in ensuring the safety and security of passengers while on the ship. This study is a phenomenology study that aimed to explore the experience of the sailboat crew in dealing with an emergency during an accident in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Data collection using in-depth interviews with six crew members who have experienced accidents with tourist passengers. The interview result was recorded and transcribed by the researcher and data were then analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) which consisted of six steps of analysis (Reading and re-reading, Initial Noting, Developing Emergent Themes, Searching for Connections Across Emergent Themes, Moving the Next Cases, and Looking for Patterns Across Cases). The results of this study indicate that the crew always tries to save passengers by utilizing the safety equipment available onboard. Although other results indicate that the crew felt that the ship accident was a disaster that occurred outside of the human will, or was not crew negligence.

Experiences Of Women

Background: In the Indian setting, several studies have documented that dissociative disorders (DDs) are more common in females, and the most commonly elicited stressors are interpersonal. However, much of the research up to now has been quantitative. There is a notable paucity of qualitative studies exploring the subjective experiences of women with DD. Therefore, the present study sought to explore and gain an in-depth understanding of the lived experiences of women diagnosed with DD. Methods: Five women were recruited who were seeking psychological treatment for dissociative symptoms at a tertiary care neuropsychiatric institute in North India. In-depth interviews were conducted with each, and the transcripts were analyzed using the analytic method of interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results: Three superordinate themes that emerged were: patients’ illness perspectives, the salience of relationships, and dealing with relationship conflicts. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the role of culture in influencing the participants’ illness perspectives. Women with DD tend to define their self in relational terms and, thus, inhibit the expression of one’s needs and opinions, to avoid conflict and to maintain harmony in relationships.

Background: Caring for people with post-pasung (post seclusion and restraint of patient) mental disorders can provide special experience for families who act as caregivers. Objective: To explore family experiences in rehabilitating people with post-pasung mental disorders in Trenggalek Regency. Methods: This research is a qualitative research with an interpretive phenomenological approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews using semi-structured interview guidelines. Participants in this study were twelve in number who treated people with post-pasung mental disorders in Trenggalek Regency. Results: Analysis of data using IPA (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis), found eight themes, namely having compassion for patients, having the responsibility of caring for patients, repaying the kindness of patients and others who have helped, having the hope that patients can recover, feel the need to supervise the independence of patients, realize the condition of mental patients, resigned to accept, thankful that the patient can improve and upset. Conclusion: Family is a determinant of the success of rehabilitation in people with post-pasung mental disorders. Family compassion and attention support the patient's recovery. The family hopes that the patient can recover and be independent in self-care, take medicine and work so that it does not depend on the family. This study produced eight themes and answered the research objectives.

Insight Into

PurposeThe objectives of the study were to explore the lived experiences of adolescents for understanding the process of their flourishing and develop a functional model to explain the dynamics of flourishing during adolescence.Design/methodology/approachGuided by the qualitative approach, the authors used interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to explore how various factors affect the process of flourishing during adolescence. The authors conducted in-depth interviews with 10 adolescents to collect qualitative data.FindingsA total of eight boosters (four internal and four external) and seven barriers (five internal and two external) emerged. The results highlighted the importance of a functional model that explained the dynamics of adolescents' flourishing. Though the authors conceded that the presence of boosters and absence of barriers were instrumental in enhancing flourishing during adolescence, based on the extant literature, the authors assumed the existence and operation of other intra-individual and inter-individual factors or correlates.Research limitations/implicationsFirst, the study participants are school-going adolescents living in a supported urban family environment where expectations to study and achieve are an important cultural component. Second, the study has focussed on the participants belonging to late adolescence—a transitional phase to emerging adulthood.Practical implicationsThere are three implications of the study—theoretical (conceptualisation of a functional model), practical (construction of a new measure of flourishing) and clinical (designing intervention programmes to enhance positive living in adolescents).Originality/valueThe study has provided a deeper insight into adolescents' flourishing from insiders' perspectives using the framework of IPA and discovered and elaborated a functional model of adolescents' flourishing.
