“…Self-distraction coping strategy, some of these wives involve themselves in social activities, visits and sporting to decrease the amount of time they spend alone that can trigger negative thoughts. These findings were in line with (Haj-Yahia 1994;Lavee et al 1997) studies conducted in the Palestinian society.…”

This study aimed to investigate difficulties experienced by the wives of Palestinian men arrested and held in Israeli prisons. 16 captives' wives were interviewed using a semi-structured interview to provide them with a greater opportunity to speak about their experiences. Three main research questions were discussed; community difficulties, social support, and coping strategies. A thematic analysis was used throughout the interviews. We concluded that in addition to the stress of being separated from their husbands, the frustrating visitation process to prison and the ongoing political conflict, the wives expressed a frustrating social network characterized by constant interferences in their personal lives and the choices they make. Most women expressed a lack in psychosocial support given through governmental and non-governmental organizations; in addition they expressed a need for that kind of support. Coping strategies ranged from religious, acceptance, distraction, to planning strategies.

“…Eleven studies merged their data sets. This was accomplished by comparing separate results to see if they corroborated each other (e.g., Weigel-Garrey, Cook, & Brotherson, 1998), using qualitative quotations and findings to illustrate quantitative results (e.g., Katz & Lowenstein, 1999), and transforming qualitative findings into quantitative counts to facilitate relating the two databases (e.g., Lavee, Ben-David, & Azaiza, 1997). The remaining 8 studies mixed by connecting the two data sets.…”

The complex phenomena of interest to family scientists require the use of quantitative and qualitative approaches. Researchers across the social sciences are now turning to mixed methods designs that combine these two approaches. Mixed methods research has great promise for addressing family science topics, but only if researchers understand the design options and procedures that accompany this methodological choice. Discussions of mixed methods in the family science literature are difficult to locate, and little has been written about how family scientists apply this approach in practice. This article presents an overview of mixed methods research, including its definition, terminology, and design types, and examines how it is being successfully used and reported in family research journals. The authors review the application of mixed methods designs in 19 studies and discuss design features and issues that arose during implementation. They conclude with recommendations for family scientists considering using this approach.

“…Living within urban places (Palestinian cities) seems to strengthen the relationship between mothers' and children's mental health problems, whereas, according to the housing situation, many Palestinian families who are living within refugee camps and rural places are living within poor conditions and densely populated homes [59]. These conditions direct those families more to fulfilling basic needs and probably to less consider mental wellbeing, which might be in contrast with families living in the city, which are often more highly educated and mostly employed.…”
