“…For this study, eligibility criteria were men and women aged 18 years and older, who had involuntarily become unemployed during the recession period and resided in the PMA. Convenience sampling 29 was used to maximize variation in views and experiences, considering different characteristics in terms of sex, age (<29; 30–39; ≥40 years), length of unemployment, and socioeconomic status (low, intermediate vs high). Eligible individuals were invited to participate via telephone or face-to-face during follow-up evaluations by the interviewing teams of the original studies, who were responsible for providing information on the present study and subsequently extending an invitation to participate.…”

Background: The economic recession that started in 2008 left many unemployed across several European countries. Many studies have analyzed the relationship between job loss, health, and well-being in other contexts. This study aimed to explore experiences of involuntary unemployment during the economic recession and their relationship with health, conceptualized as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being among unemployed individuals. Methods: Semistructured qualitative interviews were carried out among a convenience sample of participants who became unemployed during the economic recession. The analysis was conducted to identify patterns and themes. Results: Participants (n = 22; 8 men and 14 women; 23-51 years) experienced feelings of loss of identity, stress, and a sense of powerlessness due to unemployment, as well as a lack of purpose and structure in their daily lives. Six themes were identified: work as the basis for life structure and personal fulfillment; response to unemployment and the importance of its duration; unemployment leading to isolation and loss of a role in society; impact of a change in financial situation on social life and consumption patterns; the physical and psychological health consequences of unemployment; and searching for ways to cope with unemployment and to feel well. Conclusions: Losing a job is an adverse experience that impairs an individual's perception of overall health and well-being. From a public health perspective, the results of this study highlight the need for policymakers' awareness to help mitigate the potential consequences of involuntary job loss in the short-and long-term.

“…Because people tend to collaborate with others who are similar to themselves, using this sampling method results in a more diverse sample. Moreover, since we identified the inclusion criteria for inviting colleagues to participate, the risk of bias using this sampling method may be reduced (Bhardwaj, 2019).…”

Work interruptions and missed nursing care: A necessary evil or an opportunity? The role of nurses’ sense of controllability

Work interruptions (WIs)-breaks in the sequence of task performance of a human activity, causing a temporary pause of task continuity-are common in nurses' work environment and considered to contribute significantly to nurses' errors, delays and omissions of tasks (Getnet & Bifftu, 2017;Johnson et al., 2017;Schutijser et al., 2019). Recently, the nursing literature has demonstrated growing interest in the phenomenon of missed nursing care (MNC), defined as any omission, delay or failure to complete necessary patient care (Kalisch et al., 2009(Kalisch et al., , 2013. This concept has, on other occasions, been termed care left undone (Jones et al., 2015) or implicit care rationing (Schubert et al., 2013). Although both WIs and MNC refer to the delay or omission of tasks/care, they have been studied in parallel, and no study to date has explored their joint mechanism.Thus, the current study suggests illuminating the role of WI in MNC.Specifically, the study aims to understand those WIs that are more associated with MNC compared with those that are not. | Background | Missed nursing careMNC usually occurs because of time scarcity and resource shortages that lead to harmful consequences for patients, nurses and

“…Considering the possible differences in the learning practices among the students in different subjects and faculties, a Quota sampling was adopted to ensure the representation of students from all the faculties as it is a non-probabilistic equivalent of stratified random sampling (Acharya, Prakash, Saxena, & Nigam, 2013;Toylan, Semerciöz, & Hassan, 2020). Quota sampling strives to represent significant characteristics of the wider and diverse population with specific characteristics (Bhardwaj, 2019). Considering a Quota of 5% of the students to be a representative sample from each faculty, 312 students (n = 312) from the seven faculties were sampled for this study (Table 1).…”

This quantitative study analysed gender, age and faculty differences in the learning practices and other pertinent factors as perceived by the undergraduate students at the National University of Lesotho (NUL). The quota sampling method was used to select 312 students (n = 312) from the seven faculties. Adopting the constructivism theory of learning, a validated and reliable questionnaire was constructed for data collection through a survey. The questionnaire had thirty seven items on the four categories of learning practices: classroom practices, studying practices, assessment practices and academic integrity practices. Fifteen items focused on the pertinent personal factors and the institutional factors. All the items were measured on a five point Likert's Scale. Data was analysed through statistical tools of Independent t-test and Analysis of Variance. Students perceived all the four learning practices above the mean level. Classroom practices and studying practices were perceived to be the highest and lowest learning practices, respectively. Academic integrity practice had a gender difference in students' perception while age difference was determined in studying practices. Neither age nor gender difference was determined in students' perception towards either the personal or the institutional factors pertinent to learning. Students perceived three learning practices differently: assessment practices, studying practices and academic integrity practices. Studying practices and assessment practices were perceived the lowest by students in Science and Technology Faculty while academic integrity practices were at the lowest in the health sciences faculty. The study recommends that these faculties improve on these learning practices in order to improve learning among the undergraduates at the university.
