“…Recurring themes identified from the data were given headings and sub-headings in order to minimise the likelihood of losing data (Ritchie & Spencer, 1994;Srivastava& Thomson, 2009). Both inductive approach, with categories emerging purely from the data, and deductive approach, with categories derived from prior knowledge, were used to analyse the data (Moretti et al, 2011).…”

A qualitative inquiry using individual interviews explored determinants of unprotected sexual behaviours favouring HIV transmission among Men who Have sex with Men (MSM) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The study was conducted in July 2015 with 24 MSM participants recruited using convenience sampling technique. Data were analysed using a qualitative data analysis framework, with the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) employed as the study conceptual framework. Findings were grouped into a reciprocal triadic relationship involving behavioural, personal (cognitive) and environmental determinants. Behavioural determinants comprised having multiple casual sex partners, engagement in group sex and transactional sex practices. Environmental factors associated with unprotected sexual behaviours included influence of unsafe sex from regular partners and lack of access to HIV-related services. Personal (cognitive) determinants favouring unprotected sexual behaviours identified were lack of knowledge of condom and HIV/AIDS, individuals' expectation of pleasurable sexual intercourse, and low self-efficacy to discuss condom use and HIV status with casual sex partners. As effort to address HIV in MSM in Indonesia is still at its infancy, the findings of the current study are insightful and will inform the development of evidence-based programs in addressing HIV/AIDS problem in MSM populations in Yogyakarta and other similar settings.

“…Transcripts were analyzed by 2 independent researchers using content analysis procedures and following several steps. 33 First, researchers read and re-read the transcripts to gain a sense of whole and highlighted phrases that captured the information related to the research question. Then they took notes of the content area to which the highlighted phrases referred and grouped the content areas expressing similar concepts into categories.…”

Exploring the Benefits to Caregivers of a Family-Oriented Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program

et al. 2016

BACKGROUND: COPD is a highly incapacitating disease, particularly among older people, implying significant burden for family caregivers. Involving caregivers in comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation programs might benefit their functional coping to care demands; however, there is no objective evidence to sustain such assumption. This study is a secondary analysis aiming to analyze the effects of a family-based pulmonary rehabilitation program on close family caregivers of older subjects with COPD. METHODS: This is a mixed-method study. Family caregivers were randomly assigned to family-based (experimental) or conventional (control) pulmonary rehabilitation. Caregivers from the family-based pulmonary rehabilitation (n ‫؍‬ 20; 80.0% female; age 63.1 ؎ 9.5 y) attended the psychoeducational component together with their relatives. In the conventional pulmonary rehabilitation, caregivers did not participate (n ‫؍‬ 19; 68.4% female; age 53.6 ؎ 11.3 y). Self-rated instruments (Family Crisis Oriented Personal Scales, Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales, and Carers' Assessment of Difficulties Index) and focus group interviews were used to assess the intervention. RESULTS: Caregivers from the family-based pulmonary rehabilitation had significantly greater improvements in overall family coping (P ‫؍‬ .01), reframing (P ‫؍‬ .01), seeking spiritual support (P ‫؍‬ .01), and mobilizing to acquire help (P ‫؍‬ .02). No significant differences were found for emotional state. Significant improvements in overall burden (P ‫؍‬ .01), reactions to caregiving (P ‫؍‬ .01), physical demands of caring (P ‫؍‬ .044), and poor family support (P ‫؍‬ .038) were observed, although there were no significant between-group differences. Qualitative data sustained the benefits of involving family caregivers in pulmonary rehabilitation. CONCLUSIONS: The findings provide valuable evidence to recommend the inclusion of COPD family caregivers in comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation. Family-oriented pulmonary rehabilitation maximizes caregivers' adaptive coping and potentially prevents negative psychological outcomes; however, further research is needed.

“…An essential role in this process plays the so called "compliance", the result of a built trust, cooperation and satisfaction between doctors and patients on the one hand and the relationship between them and other health care institutions. 15 Another important aspect is the role of the nurse as part of the medical team. In the article presented by I. Eijkelberg et al, is described an innovative approach for providing care for chronically ill patients through a special nurse who was named head of shared care.…”

Health authorities are making efforts to put into effect initiatives for organizing of effective medical monitoring of chronically ill patients. In Bulgaria, the chronically ill are tracked according to rules on a national level. The goal that we had set in this study was to understand the disease management process, emphasizing the involvement of the patient, as well as the quality of life. In addition we studied the experience of other countries undergoing reforms in the strategies and approaches for dealing with chronic diseases. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : We used a qualitative method of researchfocus groups that include different medical specialists. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : In the discussions was considered the possibility for the patient to be a part of the team, but generally such a setting is not typical for our country. As a whole, the discussion regarding the concept of quality of life was tied for time and a relatively small number of topics were formulated in this regard. The role of the GP and the creation of multidisciplinary teams, cooperation between departments as a prerequisite for improving the quality of life of chronically ill patients were also discussed. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : Patient satisfaction is directly related to the active involvement and responsibility for their own health.K Ke ey y W Wo or rd ds s: : Public health; chronic disease; patients Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Beklenen ömrün uzaması ile birlikte kronik hastalıklar da artmaktadır. Sağlık uzmanları kronik hastaların etkili tıbbi takiplerini organize etmek için girişimlerde bulunup, çaba harcamaktadırlar. Bulgaristan'da kronik hastalar ulusal düzeyde konulan kurallara göre izleniyorlar. Çalışmamızın amacı, bu hastalıkların tedavi süreçlerini araştırmak, hastaya ilişkin yönleri üze-rinde durmak ve böylece olabildiğince yaşam kalitesini artırmaktır. Ek olarak, diğer ülkelerdeki bu alandaki yenilikleri ve reform stratejilerini incelemeyi amaçladık. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Farklı tıp alanlarındaki uzmanları içeren araştırma odaklı grupların kalitatif yöntemini kullandık. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : Tartışmalarda hastayı ekibin bir üyesi olarak ele aldık, fakat bu durum bizim ülkemize özgü değil-dir. Bütün olarak tartışmada, yaşam kalitesini artırmaya yönelik sayıları az da olsa fikirlere yoğun-laşıldı. Genel sağlık hizmeti veren pratisyen doktorun multidisipliner ekipteki rolü ve bu hastaların yaşam kalitesini artırmak üzere departmanlar arasında işbirliği sağlaması üzerinde duruldu.
