Lewy body disease (LBD) is a devastating condition with cognitive and physical deficits that pose a challenge to family caregivers. The purpose of this study was to identify the needs and concerns of family caregivers of persons with LBD. A convenience sample of LBD caregivers were interviewed regarding their caregiving needs, concerns, strategies, and advice. A content analysis approach was used to organize data into themes from an existing needs and concerns framework. Findings included the need for more information about the disease, strategies for managing LBD-related emotions and behaviors, support and assistance with physical and instrumental care, and strategies for managing one’s own personal responses to caregiving. Findings highlight the need for a Lewy body specific caregiver assessment tool and future caregiver interventions.

Mothers of children with complex congenital heart disease face unique challenges and emotional burdens, while their children go through physical and psychological difficulties during disease progression. In this study, we aimed to explore the in-depth experiences and feelings of mothers facing the prognosis of their children with complex congenital heart disease that was surgically corrected. This is a descriptive qualitative study. We conducted semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with 12 mothers of children with complex congenital heart disease at a tertiary hospital in Seoul, Korea. The interview data were analyzed by content analysis. Participants were mothers aged between 40–58 years whose children were diagnosed with complex congenital heart disease which was surgically corrected. Based on the content analysis, the mothers’ experiences and feelings were categorized as immense suffering and adapting to a new life. Under the main categories, the concepts included feeling of abandonment, anxiety with potentially losing their children, having hope, seeking reassurance, being encouraged, and trying to embrace the situation. Mothers who cared for their children with complex congenital heart disease expressed emotions that changed sequentially alongside physical and psychosocial changes in the children. The results of this study are valuable for understanding the experiences and emotions of mothers facing the prognosis of their children with complex congenital heart disease in order to aid in the development of programs that support these mothers.

Abstract Background:The shortage of psychiatric nurses is a major healthcare challenge. Lack of interest (LOI) is a significant factor contributing to the shortage of psychiatric nurses. Nonetheless, there are limited studies in this area. The present study was conducted to explore nurses’ experiences of the causes of their LOI in working in psychiatric wards.Methods:This qualitative study was conducted in 2016–2019 using the content analysis approach. Participants were 27 nurses purposively recruited with maximum variation from the psychiatric wards of three referral hospitals in Iran. Data were collected via unstructured interviews and were concurrently analyzed using the conventional content analysis approach recommended by Graneheim and Lundman.Results:The causes of participants’ LOI in working in psychiatric wards were grouped into three main categories, namely inadequate professional skills for psychiatric care practice, negative public attitude towards psychiatric nurses, and concerns over patients.Conclusion: This study suggests that the causes of nurses’ LOI in working in psychiatric wards are not only personal, but also social and organizational. Findings help managers and authorities develop strategies to increase psychiatric nurses’ interest in working in psychiatric wards through improving their work conditions and professional knowledge and skills.

Abstract Background: Parents’ adaptation has an impact on the health outcomes of children with chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Identifying factors that affect parents’ adaptation is necessary to fully understand their adaptation status. This study aims to explore parents’ adaptation with their child chronic disease and to determine related factors.Methods: This was a qualitative study with a content analysis approach. Sixteen parents of children with CKD were selected by using the purposive sampling. The nursing PhD candidate performed semi-structured in-depth face-to-face interviews to collect data. Conventional content analysis was used to analyze data.Results: Two main categories were extracted from the data were “adaptation facilitators” and “adaptation barriers”. Adaptation facilitators supported by three sub-categories: “social support”, “positive aspects of life”, “spiritual beliefs”. Five sub-categories of “adaptation barriers” were revealed as follows: “parents’ confusion”, “the disease related issues”, “pressures from peers and acquaintances”, “inappropriate treatment conditions” and “children and family limitation”.Conclusions: Two types of factors that influence parents’ adaptation were identified. The treatment team must evaluate these factors to help parents to adapt to their child’s illness by identifying and eliminating the adaptation barriers, and identifying and using the adaptation facilitators.

Abstract Background: Parents’ adaptation affects the health outcomes of children with chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Identifying factors that affect parents’ adaptation is necessary to understand their adaptation status. This study aims to explore factors related to the adaptation of parents who have children with CKD. Methods: This was a qualitative study with a content analysis approach. Seventeen parents of children with CKD were selected by using purposive sampling. One of the researchers performed semi-structured, in-depth, face-to-face interviews to collect data. Conventional content analysis was used to analyze data. Results: Two main categories extracted from the data were “adaptation facilitators” and “adaptation barriers.” Adaptation facilitators supported by three sub-categories: “social support,” “family capability,” “spiritual beliefs.” Four sub-categories of “adaptation barriers” were revealed as follows: “family-related barrier,” “mental stress by others,” “the chronic nature of the disease,” and “unfavorable treatment conditions.” Conclusions: Identifying the factors influencing parental adaptation helps the medical staff to make the necessary interventions to support the parents. According to this study, increasing parent access to the required information, supporting them financially and emotionally, and helping them identify support resources can facilitate their adaptation to their child's chronic illness. Also, identifying and eliminating adaptation barriers can help parents deal better with their child’s chronic disease.
