“…Focus groups are an efficient way to gain in-depth background information (Kingry, Tiedje, & Friedman, 1990). The depth allows the opportunity to explore the attitudes, beliefs, and ideas of the participants (Dilorio, Hockenberry-Eaton, Maibach, & Rivero, 1994;Gray-Vickrey, 1993;Morgan, 1998). For this study, the focus group method allowed the researcher to examine factors that influence caregivers' behaviors regarding the safety of dementia care recipients.…”

Home safety is a significant problem for caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. This focus group study is designed to gain insight into caregivers' experiences of managing safety issues and to explore application of the transtheoretical model of health behavior change (TTM) to this problem, toward development of interventions to improve safety care. Caregivers identified safety problems and management strategies, as well as barriers and factors facilitating management, that can help guide the development of interventions. Caregivers described different stages of adopting actions to prevent accidents and injuries consistent with the TTM. The TTM warrants further study for understanding how to help caregivers make changes to promote safe care.

O mapeamento conceitual (MC) é uma estratégia de ensino que pode ser utilizada para resoluções de casos clínicos, porém de trabalhosa execução manuscrita. O estudo teve por objetivos descrever os desafios e as contribuições do software Cmap Tools® para a construção de mapas conceituais para resolução de caso clínico. Para isso, utilizou-se método descritivo, qualitativo, com estudantes da 3ª série de Graduação em Enfermagem da Universidade Federal de São Paulo. A estratégia de ensino foi aplicada e os dados foram coletados pela técnica do grupo focal. Os resultados evidenciaram que o software facilita e garante a organização, visualização e correlação dos dados, porém com dificuldades iniciais relacionadas ao manejo das ferramentas que dispõe. Concluiu-se que o software Cmap Tools® favoreceu a construção dos MC por seus recursos de formatação e autoformatação e que estratégias de orientação deveriam ser implantadas para a fase inicial de utilização.

“…Focus groups can also be used to generate constructs and hypotheses in-depth understanding of phenomena of interest and clarifying the meaning of certain behaviours. In addition, the focus group researcher can obtain data that can be used in quantitative research such as questionnaire development (Dilorio et al, 1994;Then et al, 2014;Kingry et al, 1990). Conversely, it can also be used to gather additional information as an adjunct to quantitative data collection methods (it provides interpretations of numeric and measurable data collected through quantitative methods) (Samfira & Raţă, 2015).…”

“…In a word, about what people think, how they think, and why they think the way they do about certain issues (Samfira & Raţă, 2015). Currently, focus groups continue to be used by companies to gather consumer's opinions regarding products and to understand consumer's buying habits, attitudes, and perceptions (Dilorio et al, 1994;Then et al, 2014;Greenbaum, 1988). A focus group as Liamputtong (2011) sustained enables in-depth discussions, involves a relatively small number of people, and focuses on a specific area of interest that allows participants to discuss the topic in greater detail, which is interactive: group processes assist people to explore and clarify their points of view; and provide good and accurate information (Samfira & Raţă, 2015).…”
