“…There remains a need for further use of alternative methods. In particular, resident attitudes towards tourism development may be expected to be affected by a community’s culture and using qualitative methods will help scholars to understand these cultural differences (Baran and Jones, 2016). There is also a lack of use of mixed methods to collect and analyse data on residents’ attitudes literature based on a pragmatic approach (Teddlie and Tashakkori, 2003).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore recent trends in the theories and methods applied to studies on residents’ attitudes. Design/methodology/approach To achieve the objective of this research, this paper provides a review of 90 journal articles on residents’ attitudes towards tourism published between 2011 and 2017. The relevant articles were then analysed using content analysis. Findings Key findings revealed that although social exchange theory is still dominant in exploring residents’ attitudes towards tourism, new frameworks are beginning to emerge such as institutional theory and bottom-up spillover theory. Nonetheless, alternative theoretical perspective has only been applied once or twice and requires further engagement. Quantitative methods still dominate the field, with the geographic dispersal of studies spanning 33 countries. Research limitations/implications A potential limitation of this review is that articles published only in four leading tourism journals, namely, ATR, JTR, TM and JOST, were analysed. Originality/value This review contributes to the literature in tourism by assessing the shift in the application of theory and methodological approaches in residents’ attitudes studies from previous systematic reviews. This study adds to the body of knowledge by providing an overview of the existing status of research on residents’ attitudes towards tourism, providing direction for future scholarly inquiry. A further contribution of this review is an indication of not only the data collection methods but also data analysis techniques which have not been done in previous review articles on residents’ attitudes towards tourism. As opposed to other systematic reviews, this paper assessed the geographical setting of studies on residents’ attitudes towards tourism.

“…The research used a mixed-method approach that has a long and storied history of efficiently addressing critical issues in behavioural, social, and human sciences (Teddlie & Tashakkori, 2009). According to Baran and Jones (2016), it delivers improved cross-discipline knowledge and successfully finds more reliable and appropriate solutions. For Creswell and Clark (2011), this technique is more engaging and effective than its competitors due to its rich philosophical integration and pragmatism.…”

In response to the national policy, compulsory English courses are offered to all undergraduates in Bangladesh, and all of them must attend mandatory English lessons at the secondary level for 12 years. This study started with an observation where learners from non-English departments, compared to the BA English students, were found to be less motivated during classes, lacked essential language skills for advanced-level courses, and were unwilling to improve their linguistic repertoire. 162 participants from two universities in Chattogram, Bangladesh, were selected for this mixed-mode research to conduct a three-phase study within a self-determination theory (SDT) framework, a comparatively newer model of studying human behaviour. It is utilised as a macro theory to examine human psychology and the mechanism of probable actions, and the three dimensions of SDT (autonomy, competence, and connectedness) were tested to assess learners’ determination level and address the issues mentioned above. Based on follow-up qualitative data, the study concluded that learners’ inconsistent conduct is influenced by externally regulated behaviour. They resist this extrinsic pressure from the beginning of their English education in schools and fail to feel connected to the existing language teaching practices leading to such output at the universities.

“…The qualitative study employs a maximum variation sampling strategy to ensure a diversity of demographic and clinical characteristics [ 27 ]. Fifteen Veterans from each of the face-to-face-CPE, tele-CPE and EUC groups respectively are interviewed by telephone for 45–60 min using a semi-structured interview guide based on the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) [ 28 , 29 ].…”

A randomized controlled trial to evaluate and assess the effect of comprehensive pre-end stage kidney disease education on home dialysis use in veterans, rationale and design

Background Informed dialysis selection and greater home dialysis use are the two long-desired, underachieved targets of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) care in the US healthcare system. Observational institutional studies have shown that comprehensive pre-kidney failure, conventionally referred to as end stage kidney disease education (CPE) can improve both these outcomes. However, lack of validated protocols, well-controlled studies, and systemic models have limited wide-spread adoption of CPE in the US. We hypothesized that a universal CPE and patient-centered initiation of kidney replacement therapy can improve multiple clinical, patient-centered and health service outcomes in advanced CKD and kidney failure requiring dialysis therapy. Methods Trial to Evaluate and Assess the effects of CPE on Home dialysis in Veterans (TEACH-VET) is a multi-method randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effects of a system-based approach for providing CPE to all Veterans with advanced CKD across a regional healthcare System. The study will randomize 544 Veterans with non-dialysis stage 4 and 5 CKD in a 1:1 allocation stratified by their annual family income and the stage of CKD to an intervention (CPE) arm or control arm. Intervention arm will receive a two-phase CPE in an intent-to-teach manner. Control arm will receive usual clinical care supplemented by resources for the freely-available kidney disease information. Participants will be followed after intervention/control for the duration of the study or until 90-days post-kidney failure, whichever occurs earlier. Results The primary outcome will assess the proportion of Veterans using home dialysis at 90-days post-kidney failure, and secondary outcomes will include post-intervention/control CKD knowledge, confidence in dialysis decision and home dialysis selection. Qualitative arm of the study will use semi-structured interviews to in-depth assess Veterans’ satisfaction with the intervention, preference for delivery, and barriers and facilitators to home dialysis selection and use. Several post-kidney failure clinical, patient-centered and health services outcomes will be assessed 90-days post-kidney failure as additional secondary outcomes. Conclusion The results will provide evidence regarding the need and efficacy of a system-based, patient-centered approach towards universal CPE for all patients with advanced CKD. If successful, this may provide a blueprint for developing such programs across the similar healthcare infrastructures throughout the country. Trial registration NCT04064086.
