“…However, motivation strategies might also include other aspects, such as direct participation of farmers and monitoring of efforts by the cohesion of all the people involved over time. Nevertheless, the development of such strategies would benefit from a deeper understanding of some of the topics identified through this study by using other techniques, such as an ethnography (Naidoo, ) or focus groups. Therefore, it has highlighted the impact that qualitative studies such as these can have, which can guarantee a greater representativeness of the data if carried out together with quantitative studies.…”

Biosecurity measures are a set of management procedures that prevent the risk of introducing and spreading infectious diseases to a farm, although these measures are rarely implemented in dairy farms. There are some studies that have identified that the decision to implement biosecurity measures can be influenced by several psychosocial factors (attitudes and behaviours). Thus, the objective of this study was to examine the psychosocial factors (and their interactions) influencing the implementation of biosecurity measures in dairy farms in Spain, through the views of dairy farmers and veterinarians from Catalonia (northeast Spain) and Galicia (northwest Spain). Face‐to‐face in‐depth interviews were performed with 16 dairy farmers (nine from Catalonia and seven from Galicia) and 16 veterinarians (eight from Catalonia and eight from Galicia). Grounded theory analysis was performed on the transcripts, following the subtopics of: information sources, individual factors of the farmer, social dynamics, official veterinary services and other factors. The study identified the importance of veterinarians as a source of information, including their communication skills, the individual experiences of farmers, traditions of the farms and availability of time and space in the dairy farmer's decisions making. Further, it suggests the need to deepen the knowledge of the farm workers and the obligatory biosecurity measures. This research represents a starting point to develop future strategies to improve the implementation of biosecurity measures in dairy farms.

“…Ethnographic studies, which are among anthropological and sociological research area of social sciences, are carried out to reach comprehensive information about the general or specific aspect of society (Denzin andLincoln, 2005: 3, Saukko, 2005: 344). As a qualitative method ethnography makes for researchers to collect data related to social and cultural specialties of small groups with the way of observation, interview and participation, and then interpret them (Naidoo, 2012). An ethnographic perspective also provides a very important method for this study.…”

This study analyzes the Turkish Arabs's security concepts, intra-tribal marriage, cultural dimension of religion and their interactions with the other groups they live together through the example of Shego and Bıdri tribes. The Arab tribes of Shego and Bidri remained in the area surrounded by mountains for a very long time and stayed away from the reform policies of the central government and the interaction with the rest of the world. Therefore, the ethnocultural identities of these tribes, which were recognized as a result of their rebellions that started with centralization and continued with the Republican administration process, exhibit an endemic characteristic and are influenced by the societies in which they live with. In these tribes, the local Arabic language, daily life, their relations with the religion and state are shaped as a result of their identity codes. This study reveals the ethnocultural identities and interactions of Shego and Bidri tribes, which are recorded just in the late Ottoman period and continue with the Republic of Turkey, on an anthropological and sociological basis.

“…Hudelson (, p. 345) has described culture as ‘the dynamic and evolving socially constructed reality that exists in the minds of social group members’. Undertaking an ethnographic study of this nursing speciality enabled research on beliefs within the group and how they were expressed in specialist nursing care (Naidoo ). The study aimed to contribute to our understandings of current practices and attitudes within the Australian mental health services.…”

This article presents findings from the multi-sited ethnography of mental health nursing practice as it relates to the care of Indigenous users of public mental health services in Australia. It provides an analysis of mental health nurses beliefs and ideas about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people encountered over the course of this research. The Indigenous service user was positioned as Other to the non-Indigenous mental health nurse, and to non-Indigenous service users. Cultural difference and the legacy of colonization, including its impact on the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, contributed to these beliefs of alterity. Despite emphasizing the differences with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in mental health services, nurses did not clearly relate this to Indigenous ways of understanding ill health. While cultural differences were recognized, what they meant for the nurses or their nursing practice was interpreted in different ways. In these circumstances, approaches towards care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people varied between nurses.
