“…Topics covered included knowledge and use of condoms, sexual activities and protective behaviour, potential partners, sexual harassment, characteristic of paying and non-paying partners, risk of sexual behaviour and reason for utilization and non-utilisation of sexual and reproductive health services. Interviewing is appropriate in situations where sensitive issues are addressed (Mason 2006). Conducting semi-structured interviews allowed the researcher to hold some element of control over the line of questioning (van Teijlingen & Forrest 2004: 171), whilst still leaving scope for respondents to cover issues not directly addressed in the interview schedule.…”

Sexual health services are relatively rare in Nepal. Female sex workers (FSWs) do not use health services as often as would be desirable. A study was conducted to identify the barriers of access to sexual health services by FSWs in Nepal. A mixed-method approach consisting of a 425 questionnaire-based survey and 15 in-depth interviews was conducted in 2007.One fifth of the FSWs had never visited health facilities. FSWs turned to private clinics, followed by clinics belonging to non-governmental organisations and pharmacies for treatment. A combination of personal and service-related factors acted as critical barriers in accessing health services. Lack of confidentiality, discrimination and negative attitudes held by health care providers, poor communication between service providers and fear of exposure to the public as a sex worker were the major barriers in seeking sexual health services. These barriers should be taken into account while planning for sexual health services.

“…In the case of data instruments used in cultural policy, for example, the prioritisation of quantitative methods based on the sample survey -such as the UK government's national Taking Part survey -involves the reduction of the cultural field to a partial and specific set of measurable indicators that both represent and help to reinforce particular ways of "seeing" participation (see Bunting, Gilmore, & Miles, in press;Taylor, 2016). Accordingly, UEP's work is set out according to a non-hierarchical, mixed methods design, in which different approaches, offering different lenses and therefore fields of view on the domain of cultural participation, are brought into dialogue with one another (Mason, 2006). A set of macro-level histories examining the terms, narratives and assumptions constructing present-day notions of participation, value and cultural governance (Belfiore & Gibson, in press) is being mobilised alongside the reanalysis of existing participation data (Leguina & Miles, in press;Taylor, 2016) to frame an extensive programme of new empirical work in six UK locations.…”

“…What is more, the qualitative aspect enables us to obtain more detailed information, as it allows us to collect emerging ratings that were not envisaged in the closed questionnaire (Mason, 2006).…”

la perspectiva de los profesionales en la evaluación de un programa de intervención socioeducativa en familias [ 163 ] sips -pedagogia social. revista interuniversitaria [1139-1723 (2014) Cristina VaquéUniversitat de Vic, España RESUMEN: El programa de competencia familiar (PCF, adaptación española del Strengthening Families Program) es evaluado a partir de la perspectiva de los profesionales responsables de la implementación (formadores y coordinadores). Se trata de un programa dirigido a diversos colectivos con dificultades sociales. El programa tiene como objetivos la reducción de los factores de riesgo, el refuerzo de los factores de protección en los hijos e hijas y la mejora de las relaciones paterno-filiales. El objetivo del estudio es recoger la valoración que hacen los profesionales responsables de la implementación del programa sobre los cambios observados en las familias, la idoneidad del programa, y la adecuación del perfil seleccionado de familias. Igualmente, se valoran los recursos personales y profesionales que han facilitado la tarea de los equipos de implementación (coordinadores y formadores) y las dificultades existentes. La evaluación de los formadores y coordinadores aporta información básica para conocer cómo se ha desarrollado la implementación. Para ello hemos sumado a los instrumentos de evaluación ya existentes, la aplicación de un cuestionario que combina preguntas de respuesta abierta y cerrada y nos permite ahondar en el análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo del proceso y resultados de implementación. Los principales resultados apuntan transformaciones positivas en las familias, la idoneidad del PCF como instrumento y la mejora en la relación entre los profesionales y las familias. Las evaluaciones de los profesionales son fundamentales para conocer mejor el desarrollo del programa, constituyendo un instrumento de comunicación y legitimación del rol de los formadores y coordinadores.PALABRAS CLAVE: Competencia familiar; intervención familiar; prevención; perfil familias; familias de riesgo; evaluación formadores. is assessed from the perspective of the professionals (trainers and coordinators) responsible for its implementation. It is a program addressed to populations with social difficulties. PCF aims at reducing risk factors and reinforcing protection factors in children, promoting positive practices in child-parent relationships. The object of the study is to evaluate conclusions of implementation professionals on observed changes in families, adequacy of the program and suitability of the family selected profile. Professional and personal resources useful for the implementation task are also considered, together with existing difficulties. The evaluation of trainers and coordinators provides basic information to gage the implementation. This evaluation is issued through questionnaires that contain quantitative and qualitative data. Main results indicate positive transformations in families, suitability of PCF as an instrument and improvements in family-professional relation...
