“…The findings of the surveys were then used to inform the interview schedule for the focus groups [20]. A pilot focus group was undertaken with second-year students with the purpose to ensure the quality of the interview schedule [22].

Objectives This study aimed to identify School and University support services available and accessed by nursing students transitioning into a university environment as many struggle to adjust to competing demands of personal commitments and expectations at university. Methods A mixed methods design was used, based on activity theory and Lizzio's Five Senses of Success frameworks as exploratory guides. This study was conducted amongst the first year cohort at one campus of the Bachelor of Nursing (BN) program in Queensland, Australia. An initial baseline assessment of what University and School-based support services were on offer for students, and how the students interacted with the support services was conducted. This was followed by a survey to identify awareness and access to support services. Focus groups were then conducted to clarify the previous results and to determine engagement with these support services. Results A randomly selected number of students ( n = 150) in the first-year 2014 cohort of the BN program ( n = 300) were included in this study. The survey was completed by 54 students and three semi-structured focus groups were conducted. The analysis indicated that the support services in place were successful in reaching the majority of students and contributed to their sense of success at university. Specifically students identified that a whole cohort approach to support enhanced their transition to university. Conclusion Identifying lesser known services early in the first year will ensure that students are supported and encouraged to use all services, contributing to their sense of success at university.

This is a mixed-methods research study carried out on a cohort of airport workers during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We used quantitative and qualitative methods to describe the infection and risk perception of SARS-CoV-2 in a cohort of workers at the International Airport El Dorado/Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento in Bogotá, Colombia. An incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection of 7.9% was found in the workers. A high perception of risk was associated with activities such as using public transport. Risk perception is strongly influenced by practices related to work conditions and environments. These findings could help us understand the pandemic’s dynamics and the conceptions of the risk of transmission to promote policies on health and safety in this group of workers.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate how female sex workers perceive and describe meaning when engaging in the nonsanctioned occupation of sex work. Method: In-depth semi-structured interviews were carried out with six sex workers aged 26 to 56 years who were working either part-time or full-time at a brothel or worked "privately & discreetly." Interpretative phenomenological analysis was applied to develop themes representing the subjective perspectives of the participants. Findings: Mostly, the participants perceived and described their engagement in sex work as holding positive meanings and contributing to their well-being and quality of life. Participants perceived and described the society's view on sex work as the most challenging part of their engagement in sex work. Six themes emerged from the data: 1) sexual beings, 2) personal development, 3) interpersonal relationships, 4) proud professionals, 5) the public view on sex work and 6) well-being and quality of life. Conclusion: Engagement in sex work was found to be meaningful to the participants as their doing was intrinsically motivated by their being, making them become more knowledgeable, skilled, confident, and empowered and contributed to a sense of belonging. Engagement in sex work was also found to hold negative meaning, as a limited sense of belonging to society was described. Despite this negative aspect, engagement in sex work was deemed to be meaningful and engaging and contributed to their well-being and quality of life. Further research is required to develop knowledge about other sex workers.
