“…Significant infringements on basic freedoms are likely to produce a confrontational rather than therapeutic environment that increases levels of distress and reduces the chance of a positive outcome in the longer term 17. In such circumstances attempts to take away someone's ability to self-injure reduce their coping options and are likely to increase their distress or increase the risk of harm.…”

This paper considers the ethical justification for the use of harm minimisation approaches with individuals who self-injure. While the general issues concerning harm minimisation have been widely debated, there has been only limited consideration of the ethical issues raised by allowing people to continue injuring themselves as part of an agreed therapeutic programme. I will argue that harm minimisation should be supported on the basis that it results in an overall reduction in harm when compared with more traditional ways of dealing with self-injurious behaviour. It will be argued that this is an example of a situation where healthcare professionals sometimes have a moral obligation to allow harm to come to their patients.

“…IPA was used here for a number of reasons. It stresses that the meanings that a phenomenon hold for people can be understood through participanteresearcher interactions (Sandy & Shaw, 2012;Smith, 2005). Access to these meanings can be possible if researchers adopt 'an insider' stance and a hermeneutics of questioning stance.…”

Interpretative phenomenological analysis Nurse Observation Self-harm a b s t r a c t Background: Observation is an important approach to care that is commonly used in inpatient learning disability services to prevent self-harming behaviours. It is often implemented when there is a perceived increase risk of self-harm. Most nurses who implement observation have little or no training in the use of this practice. The literature on this subject is also biased towards mental health settings with learning disability services much neglected.Aim: To explore nurses' knowledge and understanding of the use of observation on patients who self-harm in a learning disability service in the United Kingdom.Design: and methods: This study adopted a qualitative approach, and utilised interpretative phenomenological analysis as a design and as a tool of analysis. The study was conducted in a secure learning disability service in the United Kingdom. Data were obtained from registered nurses using individual interviews (n ¼ 20) and focus groups (n ¼ 3 Â 5 ¼ 15).Data were analysed thematically using the principles of interpretative phenomenological analysis.Results: Three superordinate themes emerged from data analysis: 1) observation: its meaning, 2) observation: does it prevent self-harm? 3) Observation: making it work.Conclusion: Observation is a useful practice in in-patient learning disability services, which can be used to prevent or reduce the incidence of self-harm in these settings. This approach should therefore be an integral part of nurses' daily therapeutic activities in inpatient learning disability services.

This article reports on human rights violation, and its impact on the mental well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex students in a South African rural-based university. A qualitative multi-method approach was adopted, underpinned by interpretative phenomenological analysis. Data were collected using semi-structured individual interviews (N=20) and focus group interviews (n=4x5). The data were analysed thematically using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The results of the study indicate that university employees and heterosexual students violate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex students` human rights. Violation of the Human Rights has implications for the mental well-being of the studied population.
