“…Amalgamating the various identified themes allows meaningful relationships with the core elements of the person's experiences to be formed, which emerge as categories that require further analysis (Liamputtong, 2009). This allows for 'bottom up' approach for the emergent themes to then be interpreted, with both description and interpretation to be weaved concurrently which is consistent with IPA as a methodology (Smith et al, 2009).…”

“…What emerged were two main phenomenological approaches: descriptive (eidetic) and interpretative (hermeneutic) (Cohen & Omery, 1994). The descriptive approach to phenomenological enquiry came from Husserl's philosophical ideas (Flood, 2010) and is the study of 'things as they appear' in order to arrive at an unbiased and rigorous understanding of the human thought and experience (Liamputtong, 2009). Husserl's fundamental concern was an epistemological one.…”

People with intellectual disability often experience repression and control of their sexuality as they have historically been perceived as being childlike and asexual by members of society. Such acts can be seen to contravene their Human Rights under The Convention on the Rights of Person with Disabilities (CRPD), which endorses the rights of people with intellectual disability to fully express their sexuality.The purpose of this study was to explore if people with intellectual disability access internet based social media, and if so, if they use it to form relationships that express their sexuality. Using an interpretative phenomenological approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 adults with an intellectual disability (22 males, 8 females), aged between 20 to 66 years. Participants were purposely sampled though disability #organisations.Three themes emerged from the data: creating new friendships, maintaining existing friendships, exploring and expressing sexuality. People with intellectual disability used a variety of personal electronic devices to access internet based social media to be socially and sexually active. Facebook was accessed to make contact with existing platonic friends, peers and interest groups to meet socially. Sexually explicit material was viewed using the internet, either as an individual activity or by couples in monogamous relationships. This study adds to the paucity of research examining the use of internet based social media by people with intellectual disability for sexual expression. This research revealed the people with intellectual disability exercised cyber safe practices without any explicit formal education and conducted themselves in a respectful manner. Few participants acted in a manner that appeared to put them at risk of exploitation.

“…All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim and reviewed as a whole along with field notes. To find repeated patterns of meaning across all of the interview datasets, data immersion, coding and thematic analysis was undertaken (Liamputtong, 2009. Two investigators jointly developed a list of themes after one-quarter of the transcripts had been analysed.…”

Background: Poor hand hygiene (HH) practices among medical students have previously been attributed to students not being exposed to sufficient teaching materials during their training. Aim:To develop and evaluate a teaching module directed at improving the knowledge and attitudes of undergraduate medical students towards HH. Methods:The HH teaching module was designed based on educational materials used by the World Health Organization and other patient safety organisations. The development was also informed by the findings from two previous studies including qualitative interviews with staff and students and a survey of Australian medical schools. In-depth group interviews were undertaken with 24 undergraduate medical students.Results: Favourable feedback was received from the interviewed medical students towards the developed scenariobased learning activity; however, the group interview activity was not received well by students. They suggested that the HH teaching activities should be compulsory and not optional for medical students. In order to reinforce good HH practices and to improve knowledge around HH and healthcare-associated infections, they felt that the activities should be repeated during each phase of their degree. Conclusions:There is a need to change the approach to training in education, particularly to engage students in topics such as HH which are often seen as unimportant.

“…The total number (n) of participants from all the studies combined was 409, with the total number of review articles being 47. Papers included both quantitative and qualitative research findings, so thematic analysis was used to identify consistent themes due to its sensitivity and ability to summarise both types of research (Liamputtong, 2009). Eligible articles were evaluated with concepts categorised and displayed thematically.…”

“…Eligible articles were evaluated with concepts categorised and displayed thematically. Themes were determined by searching across the data set, deconstructing data categorically and making connections for repeated patterns of meaning (Liamputtong, 2009). This process required immersion in the topic with repeated reading of the data generated until it made sense and could be organised in a meaningful way.…”

The advantages of article based publishing are:• Articles are processed more quickly • Articles can be disseminated electronically, making them readily available• Improved ability to cite immediately without the need to wait until an issue is complete and then printed• Improved global availability, as each paper is provided with a DOI and put onto the New Zealand College of Midwives website three months after first circulation.Within electronic article based publishing the editors build each issue as an "issue in progress" from papers that have been submitted and accepted for publication. Once an issue is complete, it is printed.The Journal welcomes original research, literature reviews, exemplars/practice stories/case studies, audits and research methodology articles. In general, articles should be between 500-4000 words. It is important that articles submitted for review have not been published previously in any form.The expectation is that articles protect confidentiality where necessary, and that evidence of an ethical process of consent has been undertaken.
