?They?re Always Complicated but That?s the Meaning of Family in My Eyes?: Homeless Youth Making Sense of ?Family? and Family Relationships
(2018)
PARKER, SARAH; Mayock, Paula
Abstract:
Analyses of the relevance of family for young people are more visible than previously within youth research. Nonetheless, understanding of the nature and meaning of family relationships for those who experience separation from their family, including homeless youth, is relatively weak. Based on selected findings from a qualitative longitudinal study, this article explores the meaning-making processes of homeless young people with explicit attention to the ways in which ?family? is produced and (re)negotiated in their lives over time. Four themes are presented?family as reliable and supportive; family as interrupted and ?broken?; family as fragile and elusive; and family as fluid and ambiguous?revealing the unfolding nature of young people?s constructions of family and family relationships. The enduring impact of separation, dislocation, and conflict on how young people ?make sense? of familial experiences is discussed, and we conclude with the practice implications arising from the ...

Abstract:
Little is known about how recovery oriented policy and legislative changes influence service users? perceptions of mental health care over time. Although the recovery approach is endorsed in many countries, qualitative research examining its impact on service use experiences has been lacking. This study aimed to explore this impact as well as experiences of service utilisation and suggestions for change with people diagnosed with a First Episode Psychosis between 1995 and 1999. Participants had used services during the 10 year period prior to, and 10 years post, policy and legislative shifts to the recovery approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 participants who met criteria for ?full functional recovery? and 10 who did not. Data were analysed using Thematic Networks Analysis to develop Basic, Organising, and Global Themes. Over time, recovered participants perceived an improvement in service quality through the ?humanising? of treatment and non-recovered partic...

<p>Studies of medical education often focus on experiences and socialisation processes among undergraduate students, with fewer examining emotionality among postgraduate trainees. This article explores the relationship between power and emotion, questioning how affective relations between senior and junior doctors are patterned on the hierarchical structure of medicine. The study employs qualitative methods of in-depth, face-to-face and telephone interviews with fifty doctors at initial and advanced stages of specialist postgraduate training in teaching hospitals across Ireland, conducted between May and July, 2015. The study found that respect for hierarchy, anger and fear, intimidation, and disillusion were key themes in...

Abstract:
Aim: To explore and describe the experience of mental health and addiction for young people living in urban deprived areas in Ireland. Method: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 20 young adults attending health and social care agencies in two deprived urban areas, and analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Five main themes were identified: experiencing symptoms, symptom progression, delay accessing help, loss of control/crisis point, and consequences of mental health and substance use issues. As young people delayed help, symptoms disrupted normal life progression and they found themselves unable to engage in every-day activities. Living in deprivation made it harder to avoid developing problems: many had added stressors, less familial support and early exposure to violence, addiction and bereavement. Conclusion: Young people in urban deprived areas are vulnerable to mental health and addiction issues. Early identification is necessary to halt this progre...

A Different Type of Lighting Research: a Qualitative Methodology
(2016)
Kelly, Kevin
Abstract:
As lighting researchers we can learn from our colleagues in the humanities who have progressed Qualitative Research methods to a high level of rigour. We should consider using Qualitative Research Methods more. Such methods allow exploration of complex issues involving human behaviour and facilitate researchers to address difficult to answer questions that otherwise go unanswered. Good quality Qualitative Research can provide rich explanations of what went on in a given situation. Validity and Reliability are considered differently with this type of research methodology. This paper attempts to identify when qualitative research is appropriate, what questions it can answer in lighting research, how it is done, list the features and provide a simple brief example of a post occupancy evaluation case study. It is argued that qualitative research can be used with quantitative research; before quantitative research to inform it or afterwards to explain it; but it can also be extremely inf...

A phenomenological study of occupational participation for people who identify as transgender
(2020)
Daly, Vivienne; Hynes, Sinéad M.
Abstract:
Abstract INTRODUCTION: The challenges that transgender people face, which are caused by a multitude of factors, have been well documented. However, changes in occupational participation are less well known. This research explored changes in the occupational participation of transgender people. METHODS: The study used a phenomenological research design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five participants. Data were analyzed with an interpretative phenomenological approach. RESULTS: Three themes were identified: work, self-presentation, and role change. Positive reports of transitioning were described as well as ongoing challenges in occupational participation. Various effects on work and life roles were reported. The study did not include either an emic perspective or member checking, limiting the usefulness of the findings. CONCLUSION: The findings showed that gender transitions can affect occupational participation both positively and negatively. A gend...

Abstract:
Objective: Th e study aimed to explore maternal perspectives of the impact of stuttering on the lives of 6–10-year-old children’s relationships, self-identity, and academic development. Method: A qualitative design was used: fi ve semi-structured interviews were conducted with mothers of children aged 6–10 years who stutter. Th e data was analyzed using thematic network analysis. Main results: While participants diff ered in their perceptions of the extent to which stuttering infl uenced their child’s life, all fi ve discussed aspects of how their child’s relationships, self-identity and academic development had been impacted. Mothers described their child’s personal characteristics, their school environment, how their child communicated with family members and peers and how others related to their child. Conclusion: Th e fi ndings indicate that, when developing goals for therapy, speech and language therapists should consider how stuttering may be aff ecting a child in all areas o...

A qualitative investigation of family perceptions, experiences and management of childhood fussy eating behaviours
(2020)
Wolstenholme, Hazel
Abstract:
Background: Fussy eating refers to the consumption of an inadequate variety or quantity of food. Childhood fussy eating can impact nutritional intake and has been associated with family stress and conflict at mealtimes. A range of child, parent, family, social and cultural factors contribute to the development and management of fussy eating behaviours. Much research has focused on the role of parents. However, this research has focused on parent feeding practices and less is known about other factors that are important to consider in relation to behaviour change intervention (such as beliefs, emotions and goals). In addition, the majority of research on fussy eating to date is quantitative, relies on parent-report and is focused on pre-school children. Aims: Using a qualitative research design, this thesis aims to: 1) explore family perceptions (descriptions and beliefs), experiences (impact and emotions) and management (goals and practices) of fussy eating behaviours, 2) explore t...

A qualitative study exploring women’s experiences of unsafe abortion in Sudan
(2017)
Elamin, Wafa; Fazari, Atif B.; Elmusharaf, Khalifa
Abstract:
Background: Unsafe abortions contribute significantly to maternal morbidity and mortality. They are found more frequently in developing countries such as Sudan where abortion laws are restrictive and women have poor access to contraceptives. Gaps in the knowledge exist regarding women’s decision making process to perform an unsafe abortion in Sudan. Understanding these factors is vital for planning and implementing family planning services. The aim of the research was to explore the experience of women exposed to an unsafe abortion in Khartoum—Sudan, and to address the underlying factors that affected women’s decision to seek an unsafe abortion. Design: A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted using in-depth semi-structured interviews with women who had undergone unsafe abortions. Interviews were translated from Arabic; and data were analysed using a thematic approach. Setting and Participants: Participants were recruited from 2 settings: New Omdurman Hospital and Academy Teac...

A qualitative study of open source software development: the OpenEMR project
(2011)
Noll, John; Beecham, Sarah; Seichter, Dominik
Abstract:
Open Source software is competing successfully in many areas. The commercial sector is recognizing the benefits offered by Open Source development methods that lead to high quality software. Can these benefits be realized in specialized domains where expertise is rare? This study examined discussion forums of an Open Source project in a particular specialized application domain – electronic medical records – to see how development roles are carried out, and by whom. We found through a qualitative analysis that the core developers in this system include doctors and clinicians who also use the product. We also found that the size of the community associated with the project is an order of magnitude smaller than predicted, yet still maintains a high degree of responsiveness to issues raised by users. The implication is that a few experts and a small core of dedicated programmers can achieve success using an Open Source approach in a specialized domain.

A scoping review of the potential for chart stimulated recall as a clinical research method
(2017)
Sinnott, Carol; Kelly, Martina A.; Bradley, Colin P.
Abstract:
Background: Chart-stimulated recall (CSR) is a case-based interviewing technique, which is used in the assessment of clinical decision-making in medical education and professional certification. Increasingly, clinical decision-making is a concern for clinical research in primary care. In this study, we review the prior application and utility of CSR as a technique for research interviews in primary care. Methods: Following Arksey & O'Malley's method for scoping reviews, we searched seven databases, grey literature, reference lists, and contacted experts in the field. We excluded studies on medical education or competence assessment. Retrieved citations were screened by one reviewer and full texts were ordered for all potentially relevant abstracts. Two researchers independently reviewed full texts and performed data extraction and quality appraisal if inclusion criteria were met. Data were collated and summarised using a published framework on the reporting of qualitat...

An Examination of the interaction of democratic ideals with journalism training programmes in the global south: The case of Cambodia
(2020)
Quinn, Fergal
Abstract:
The presumption that a liberal media landscape and associated press culture strengthens good governance and human development has approached orthodoxy in the western world. Consistent with this, journalism training has been a central component of media aid strategies in the Global South. This research examines how normative assumptions about journalism roles can interact with ideas about democracy in a training environment and the possible implications of this. It explores parallels between programme elements relating to democracy facilitation and particular role conceptualisations of journalists trained by these programmes, with a specific interest in how this process is borne out in countries where democratisation processes are ongoing. A qualitative-based methodology, using journalism training in Cambodia as a case study, finds some correlations between democracy-related emphases at training level and specific normative orientations among working journalists who participated in t...

An exploratory study of architectural practices and challenges in using agile software development approaches
(2009)
Ali Babar, Muhammad
Abstract:
Agile software development approaches have recently gained popularity as a mechanism for reducing cost and increasing ability to handle change in dynamic market conditions. However, there is also a significant concern about the role and importance of the issues related to the software architecture of a system being developed using agile approaches. There is to date little empirical evidence available on what software architecture related practices are followed by teams using agile approaches and the kinds of architectural challenges resulting from using agile approaches. This paper reports a case study aimed to empirically identify and understand the architectural practices and challenges of teams using agile approaches. The findings provide useful information about the researched issues and also highlight the areas that need to be focused on for integrating agile and architecture-centric approaches.

An exploratory study of the effects of Mindfulness on perceived levels of stress among school-children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
(2014)
Lawler, Margaret; Costello, Elizabeth
Abstract:
Children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are at increased risk of experiencing stress and associated social-emotional difficulties and behavioural problems, which can undermine academic performance and lead to school drop-out. Previous studies investigating the effects of mindfulness have evidenced positive outcomes among children pertaining to enhanced well-being, school-based competence and decreased levels of stress and anxiety. However, these studies have typically examined teacher?s perceptions of change or quantitative outcomes without consideration of children?s experiences. The present study employs an interpretative qualitative approach to gain a greater understanding of children?s experiences of mindfulness in dealing with stress. A 5-week school-based mindfulness program was performed with 63 primary school children at risk of social exclusion in education. Interviews were undertaken with 16 children and 2 teachers. Thematic analysis identified five key themes label...

Hogan, John; Dolan, Paddy; Donnelly, Paul
Abstract:
Qualitative research is a multifaceted approach that investigates culture, society and behaviour through an analysis and synthesis of people’s words and actions. Qualitative methods produce compelling knowledge of how and why people behave as they do, whether in organisational, family, personal, or other social roles. The primary objective of this book is to introduce students to the concepts underlying qualitative research and how this kind of research can be conducted in a practical manner. To this end, it discusses various approaches to qualitative research and provides examples of these approaches being carried out in practice. In doing so, the book shows how various disciplines all use qualitative research in order to discover answers to their own particular research questions. The book is primarily designed to be a qualitative research guidebook for undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking dissertations as part of their course of study. Each of the chapters has been...

Abstract:
Background: Medication error at transitions of care is common. The implementation of medicines reconciliation processes to improve this issue has been recommended by many regulatory and safety organisations. The aim of this study was to gain insight from healthcare professionals on the barriers and facilitators to the medicines reconciliation implementation process. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted in Ireland with a wide range of healthcare professionals (HCPs) involved with medicines reconciliation at transitions of care. Thematic analysis was undertaken using an adaptation of a combined theoretical framework of Grol, Cabana and Sluisveld to classify the barriers and facilitators to implementation of medicines reconciliation. Results: Thirty-five participants were interviewed, including eleven community pharmacists (CPs), eight hospital pharmacists (HPs), nine hospital consultants (HCs), five general practitioners (GPs), and two non-consultant hospital doctors (NC...

Abstract:
BackgroundAlthough progress in science has driven advances in addiction medicine, this subject has not been adequately taught to medical trainees and physicians. As a result, there has been poor integration of evidence-based practices in addiction medicine into physician training which has impeded addiction treatment and care. Recently, a number of training initiatives have emerged internationally, including the addiction medicine fellowships in Vancouver, Canada. This study was undertaken to examine barriers and facilitators of implementing addiction medicine fellowships.MethodsWe interviewed trainees and faculty from clinical and research training programmes in addiction medicine at St Paul¿s Hospital in Vancouver, Canada (N = 26) about barriers and facilitators to implementation of physician training in addiction medicine.

Can automated text classification improve content analysis of software profect data?
(2013)
Noll, John; Seichter, Dominik; Beecham, Sarah
Abstract:
Content analysis is a useful approach for analyzing unstructured software project data, but it is labor-intensive and slow. Can automated text classification (using supervised machine learning) be used to reduce the labor or improve the speed of content analysis? We conducted a case study involving data from a previous study that employed content analysis of an open source software project. We used a human-coded data set with 3256 samples to create different size training sets ranging in size from 100 to 3000 samples to train an “ensemble” text classifier to assign one of five different categories to a test set of samples. The results show that the automated classifier could be trained to recognize categories, but much less accurately than the human classifiers. In particular, both precision and recall for lowfrequency categories was very low (less than 20%). Nevertheless, we hypothesize that automated classifiers could be used to filter a sample to identify common categories before...

Abstract:
Fussy/picky eating behaviours are common across childhood. Recent reviews of the fussy eating literature focus on quantitative research and do not adequately account for familiesâ subjective experiences, perceptions and practices. This review aims to synthesise the increasing volume of qualitative work on fussy eating. A systematic search of relevant databases was carried out. Studies were included if they were qualitative, published since 2008, with a primary focus on familiesâ experiences, perceptions and practices regarding fussy eating, food neophobia, or food refusal in children (aged one to young adult). Studies with clinical samples, or relating to children under one year were excluded. Ten studies were eligible for this review and were synthesised using meta-ethnography (developed by Noblit and Hare). This review provides a comprehensive description and definition of fussy eating behaviours. A conceptual model of the family experience of fussy eating was developed, illu...

Abstract:
This paper presents the findings of research into children and young people’s experiences of participating in their communities in Ireland. Using a social and relational understanding of participation, the research found that children and young people are engaged in a wide range of activities in their communities. They are however often misunderstood in the community and have limited opportunities for participation in decisions affecting them. Despite these problems, they report positive experiences of participating in youth clubs and organisations, where their participation is supported by adults. The paper discusses the implications of these findings for research, public policy and community.

Coming 'Home': place, belonging and second-generation return migration from England to Ireland
(2019)
Hannafin, Sara
Abstract:
This thesis contributes to the growing academic interest in the second-generation of migrants and the connections they maintain with their parental places of origin. It focuses on the children of the Irish emigrants to England of the 1950s and the decision, by some, to ‘return’ to Ireland, as adults. The past twenty years have seen an increase in immigration to Ireland from a range of countries and included in this are the second-generation from England. Although both immigration and return to Ireland have been recently researched, this is the first time that this group have been recognised as a discrete migration flow and their experiences have been studied. The thesis aims to uncover how an emotional connection to the parental home country and a predisposition to return there is established through everyday lives in the ‘host’ country, combined with the positive experience of holiday visits. It employs a qualitative approach to access the range of influences on the migration exper...
